Human Binary: The Unrivalled King of Technology

Emma stayed in the dilapidated building for some time, deep in thought. He barely saw anyone. He wondered how did Amanda could locate this building. He couldn't believe that there was a place in Vulture city that would be left untouched. Vulture was a place filled with lawless people, ruled by a gang called Vulture.

The infamous Vulture rules the city with an iron rule. Their word is the law. A much smaller gang had to bow when the people of the vulture arrived. They were notorious and committed any sort of atrocity. Since no one could question them, they escape with whatever bad things they do. Every living person in Vulture city had accepted their fate and follow the rules of the Vulture.

Emma stroll around the abandoned building and noticed that something happened here a long time ago. This left the area in a terrible state. There was hardly the disturbing mouse. Some of the buildings had already collapsed while some were barely standing.

The previous owner of the body had never been to this area before though. He worked for some small gangs in delivering packages. So he had almost set his foot on every major place in Vulture. But this small area escaped his radar.

After touring the dilapidated area from morning till evening. He realized something that shocked him. This building was all old. They weren't the modern houses in Vulture City. Emma couldn't identify how old the building was. The area was not too far from the junk site. Emma would only take 10 minutes to reach the junkyard.

Emma discovered a building at the center of this area. When he looked with a little attention. He realized the building was grander than the rest. However, it was getting late, so he didn't explore the building.

20 minutes later.

Emma returned to the previous house that was provided for him by Amanda. He sat on the wooden bed and heard a footstep. Emma was apprehensive, the fat on his body was moving up and down. He was panicking. He had barely escaped the clutch of death. He wasn't ready to face death again.

Amanda entered the wreckage house and saw the panicked Emma. She raised her brow and wondered what made him like this "What happened"

Hmm.

Emma was already frightened that he did not notice Amanda. He looked at Amanda. "I heard the incoming of a footstep."

"Are you stupid! Of course, you will hear a footstep. I'm not standing in front of you."

Hearing Amanda sarcastically comment. Emma realized how stupid he had behaved. He averted his eyes from Amanda's face, embarrassed. Amanda didn't care about his foolishness.

"I brought you food. This will be the last time I will come here." Amanda said casually, putting the food in front of Emma.

"Why?" Emma asked. "Did I do something wrong?"

Amanda furrowed. "What is going on in that stupid head of yours?" She berated.

"When I helped you, do you do something for me? Hmm," She was getting annoyed by this stupid fatty.

Emma realized he had become dumber and acting more stupid of late. 'Did she have to babysit me all day? She had nothing to do with me. Why did I behave like a kid?'

"Sorry. Thanks for your help." Emma put on a forced smile on his face.

Seeing that Emma had realized his mistake. Amanda's anger subsides. "When are you leaving this place?"

"I don't know yet. Maybe tomorrow."

"It better you leave this place early," Amanda advised.

Emma nodded. "Why did you asked me to leave this place early?"

Amanda twisted her dry lips. "I heard that something major happened here a long time ago. And the evil spirit will devour anybody that stay here too long."

Hearing this, Emma raised his brow. He had already guessed that something happened. But he didn't know that it had a bad backstory.

"Ok. I'll leave quickly."

"Good." Amanda smile.

"Can I know where you stay? When I want to repay your help, I would know where to meet you." Emma asked seriously.

Amanda wanted to refute. However, seeing the seriousness in Emma. She agreed. Amanda looked outside the broken window and noticed it was already getting late. She quickly described her house to Emma and left the strange area like a chasing rat.

Emma looked at the deep night and felt the night was different from the other parts of Vulture City. He quickly stood up from the wooden bed and use the broken door to close the door a bit. Though the broken door the not fit on the door frame. Emma manages to gather an additional pile of wood from the surrounding. He placed all the woods on the entrance to obstruct anyone or thing from seeing inside the house.

Emma eats his food quietly. He dared not make a sound and drink the little water that was given to him by Amanda. Finishing his food, he lay on the wooden bed. He prayed the unknown evil spirit would not devour him.

A few hours later.

[10%... 20% ….50%....75%....100%]

[...…Synchronizing complete.....]

A few minutes later.

[What are you]

Emma furrowed when a strange word appeared in his head. He opened his eyes and saw nothing. He shook it off thinking it was the effect of the evil spirit of this dam place. 'I will leave this place tomorrow. This place is creeping out.' He closed his eyes and tried to get some sleep.

[What are you]

The word repeated in his mind. Emma became more scared. He just arrived in this new world and many things were scary already. He opened his eyes wide and stared at the darkness. He could barely see anything. There was no source of light in the room. Emma was trembling. 'What stupid luck.'

[What are you…. I know you can hear me.]

Emma was now deliberating maybe he should take his chance and leave this house. The unknown thing that was talking to him seems to see him. He sat on the edge of the wooden bed and tried to look outside through the window. However, he could only see the darkness of the night. Unfortunately for him, there was no moon to provide light.

Emma could not go outside and the thing was adamant of knowing what he was. 'Is it thinking of eating me when it realized what I am?'

Emma shook in horror.
