Human Binary: The Unrivalled King of Technology

Emma widened his eyes and looked around. After looking around for a couple of seconds. He couldn't see the source of the voice. It baffled him, raising his brow. "Am I hallucinating?' he thought. 'No impossible.

"Replay 2 minutes of the live feed." He commanded the helmet AI.

'Replaying…'

Emma watched the video feed with utmost concentration. However, to his dismay. There was no voice like the one he heard. He furrowed. 'This is impossible. I hear it vividly in my ears. How's this possible. I know what I hear. How come the system didn't pick it up.' Emma was conflicted. He began to doubt himself. 

Just then, his team entered the room. Seeing his team member, he breathed a sigh of relief. 'At least, I won't be the only one to hear the voice when it sounded again.'

"Commander, we found nothing in the previous room." A middle-aged man reported. 

"No problem. Let search this place. And be quick about it" Emma commanded. The team detected the urgency in his voice, wondering what happened. Are the other team being attacked? They thought.

Suddenly, a voice echoed in the room shocking the Ghost Hunters. Their eyes widened, looking around for the source of the sound while positioning themselves in a shooting stance. Everyone's heart was thumping, reaching their mouth. The voice echoed again, but they couldn't find the source of the sound. 

"Do you hear the voice?" Emma whispered, while his eyes dart from one angle to the other. However, most of the time, his eyes lingered on the altar. His gut feeling was telling him the sound was coming from the altar. However, he found nothing on the altar. 'What sorcery is this.'

"Yes, commander. We heard the voice." They chorused. 

"Close formation." He dared not underestimate the unknown enemy. He tightened his grip on his assault rifle, ready to fire on any slight movement.

Swiss!

Suddenly, an image appeared on the altar without making a sound. The image was looking down on Emma and his group like some type of clown. Just then, Mabel raised her head and looked at the altar, and saw the enormous image. At once, her heart stopped beating. She opened her mouth, but words couldn't come out. She tried to force the word out but to no avail. Sweats dripped from her forehead while she forced herself to raise her right arm and point at the altar.

Hmm!

Everyone looked at Mabel, wondering what happened to her until they looked at the altar. What! They froze. Everyone couldn't believe what they saw. Their chest was thumping while their back was drenched in cold sweats. An unknown pressure was pressuring their heart. They couldn't understand where the pressure was coming from. 

The giant image with two pointing antennas and two small eyes, not fitting its huge physique, looked from one person to another, not showing the intention to talk. Besides, the image has no mouth. This left the people stupefied. Emma looked at the giant image, while his mind was running on hyperspeed. After a couple of seconds, he controlled his breathing and looked directly into the image's eyes.

"Are you the one talking to us," Emma asked. Though he guessed it was this thing that walking to them.

The beast rolled its small eyes and looked at Emma for a few seconds. "Yes. But you're quite strong to escape from my mental pressure." The voice echoed in their ear.

'So that's it.'

"How do you enter this place. You don't have the capabilities to enter." The voice came again.

Emma shrugged. "We found the key and that's all."

"That stupid insect lost the key. I know I can't trust those animals." The voice boom on Emma and his group ear. It almost tore their ear. Quickly, they held their ear. Seeing this, its antennae shook slightly. "Oh forget. you are just as weak as those maggots. If not weaker. What are the toys in your hand."

Toy!

Emma and the Ghost hunter rolled their eyes. You call this a toy. They wanted to laugh but couldn't. As if reading their mind. The voice came from the image. "Do you think that those sticks can harm me if I stand in front of you with my physical body? Hmm?"

"Yes," Emma responded.

Hahahhahha.

The enormous room shook from the continuous laugh from the image. After a couple of seconds, the beast stopped laughing and looked at Emma like an idiot. "You are ignorant than what I think. When you see a real weapon. Your father won't stand it. Throw those things away and learn from me how real weapons are made. Hahahaha"

The beast's rudeness did not annoy Emma. "What are you?"

"You don't have the right to know. I have a quest for you when you complete it. You'll you about our mighty race and how awesome am I."

"It seems we are not the one that didn't know you. You also didn't know us. How dare you judge us." Emma bluffed. 

Hump!

"Why can't. I don't need to know a weakling race. If you're a stronger race. I would have learned about you. So, you're nothing."

"Then how do you understand our language." This was the question that had been baffling Emma since he heard the voice.

"There are many things in the universe, complicated than your measly language."

Emma didn't doubt that. Everything he had witnessed in the past weeks was beyond his comprehension. The earlier he accepts that things are more complicated than what it seems on the surface, the better for him. "So, what do you need us to do. I believe those beasts are completing your quest."

"Those fools…. Let forget about them. You see the passage—"

"First let me see the reward before I decided to accept your insane quest." Emma interrupted. 

The beast antenna shook, staring at Emma. At once, Emma couldn't breathe properly, sweat dripping on his forehead. He gnashed his teeth, enduring the pressure while he maintained eye contact with the unknown Lifeform. "If I didn't need your measly life. I would have ended it. Don't ever interrupt the mighty me." The lifeform announced. 

Immediately, the pressure on Emma disappeared. Emma took a deep breath and straightened his back. "Whatever you do. You need us. Those beasts you ask to complete your quest. We killed them all. So, we're your last chance." Emma didn't back down.

"Arrogance. If I kill you all. Who said I won't find another way to complete my quest?"

"Then, we have nothing to discuss. Let see how long you're going to last in this ruin of yours." Emma turned his head. "Boys, let go," he departed.

"Impudence! Who gave you the order to leave?"

"You can do your worst." Emma didn't stop moving. 

The image fluctuated for a couple of seconds, while its small eyes rolled in its socket. He stared at the ongoing humans, wavering on his decision. 'After they complete my quest. I'll teach them the lesson of their life. No one ever looked down on this mighty one. Let see how you behave when I turn you into my slave.'

"Fine. I agree to your request." 

 Hearing this, Emma's footsteps stopped. He turned his head and looked at the lifeform and snickered. 'You want to play games. I play. Idiot, do you think we're like those mindless Kpriv. Humph!'

"Show me the reward," Emma asked casually. 

Creak!

Beside the altar, three boxes came out of the ground. The boxes were made of golden carving of a majestic beast of the same lifeform. Seeing the box, lifeform looked at Emma. "You reward are these boxes."

Without further ado, Emma approached the box without any hunch of fear. Emma touched the box. At once, he could feel the uniqueness of the box. The box was made of an unknown wood. After feeling the unique texture of the box, he opened the first box. Inside it was many yellowish crystals. Seeing this, Emma raised his brow. 'What the fuck is this.'

He opened the second box and he saw three books. Emma picked the first book and took a quick look. Seeing the content of the book, he wanted to pass out. 'What garbage is this.'

 Taking a deep breath, he opened the box. He saw a huge chunk of metal. He looked at the metal but he found it difficult to identify it also. But the Ai has a corresponding guess. However, he didn't want to work on guesses. He straightened his back and looked at the beast. While also the lifeform using his small eyes was staring at Emma.

Emma left the box and went back to his team. Seeing this, the lifeform was flabbergasted. What the hell is wrong with this ant. Not able to hold it curiosity. "What do you think about my reward? Am I not generous enough…? I believe you have never seen such an amazing gift in your entire life, not even your measly race." 

Emma didn't utter a word. He looked at the lifeform displaying its grandiose without interrupting it. After the lifeform finished displaying how mighty and generous its gift was. The expression it was expecting was not seen on Emma's face. 

"What! Don't tell me you don't know those things. If ever you haven't seen it. You should have read about it… right?"

Emma didn't talk. However, his mind was calculating. 'What the fuck. I don't know a single thing out of the three.' But his expression was blank as ever. 

Seeing that Emma didn't utter a word. The lifeform was getting impatient. 

'Bullshit mode activated'

"What trash is that. Do you think we're beggars!" Emma shouted. 

What!
