Human Binary: The Unrivalled King of Technology

…

"Seat down. I don't expect you to change immediately" Emma commanded.

 Jojo bit the edge of her lips and sat reluctantly, glaring at the blue man. She wanted to refute but dares not. Watching the reluctant Jojo, Emma chuckled. 

"Now, this gathering is not meant to explain all this…." Emma announced seriously. At once, Everyone in the auditorium felt the sudden change in atmosphere. Their relax was gone immediately, sitting straight, their gaze fixed on the blue man.

Seeing this, Emma nodded. "Our battle had yet to finish. According to the latest intel we received. There is a high chance those beasts to come back. And if they come back it won't be a thousand….. But tens of thousands…." He paused, waiting for the new Ghost Hunter to digest the intel. The Ghost Hunter narrowed their eyes. They couldn't believe their nightmare hadn't ended yet. But they knew this was a must-fight battle.

Seeing that everyone understood the gravity of the intel. Emma continued. "Your first mission as a Ghost Hunter is to destroy the passage where those beasts use to cross from whatever goddamn place they are from. Also, this also some kind of exploration of the unknown. So…"

The hall was silent, the intel they receive was ringing in their head. They are going to explore some unknown place. Some widened their eyes and looked at the blue, not sure what to say. We're just some goddamn soldier. Why would turn into an explorer in a forsaken unknown location? Many thoughts were flying in the head of the people but everyone kept their thought in their mind.

"If you have any questions, you can ask now."

Hearing this, their eyes brightened, they looked at each other while one of the men in seating in front stood up, straightened his back. "Commander has this ever happened before. I mean exploring…"

>>Wow… You are now called commander. 

'What do you expect. Of course, I'm their commander. Didn't have the quality of a commander? Tsk. Only you won't see those qualities.'

>>Tsk. I know it would delight you to be called commander. Shameless ignorant brat. 

'Whatever…'

Emma faced the man. "Mr. Laka I like your question…" He looked at the others and saw the expectation from their gaze and sighed softly. "As a matter of fact. This had never happened before. Let me ask, have ever a beast as the Kpriv on Earth."

Hearing the question, the Ghost Hunter shook their head. A beast as tall as 7 meters with an extreme speed with their out-of-the-world defense. This would be the first for them seeing saw such. Laka looked at his colleague for a second and answered. "No sir."

"Since a decade ago that the earth undergoes various climate and geographical changes for unknown reasons. Nothing has ever remained the same. Many scientists hypothesize that there are sort of mystical mysteries unknowns to the people of earth. Do you get what I'm trying to say?"

Laka nodded. He wasn't dumb, not to understand, while others also nodded. Everyone understood the basic history of the earth, though they may not be a professor or what nut. But history was compulsory for elementary and high school. So, everyone born after the changes must know the history of their homeworld. 

"The organization believes that there may be many strange phenomena happening around the world. But the governments are keeping everything out of the public eye. So, seeing unknown beasts, shouldn't be a surprise anymore. There are many mysteries out there we don't know. So be mentally prepared." He paused. 'I hope we don't see what is beyond us…' He thought. "Any question."

"Sir, where are we going," Jojo asked out of the blue.

"Jojo…" Emma looked at the woman, not knowing what to say, and shook his head. "That we don't know. We are following the trail of the beast. But know this. The danger won't be any lesser than what we encounter previously. However, if you want to quit…. This is your chance."

Hearing the sudden bombshell. Jojo sat slowly, looking at her colleagues. However, the slight smile and the nonchalant attitude never disappeared from her face. Emma looked at the people who are lost in thought. Though not everyone was thinking about the option.

'Scan'

'Commencing scanning… Body language and lips reading module deploy.'

>>Why do you have to ask such a question.

'Just a simple test.'

>>Why? I don't know why you need to test them.

'The previous battle with the Kpriv was impromptu. So they weren't aware of what they're up against. But now, they are aware. If I force them. They would surely go…. However, if things went south. They would choose to run rather than be their brother's keeper. And that….. I don't want to see.' 

>>Oh…. I see.

After 10 minutes, no one stood up while everyone was looking at each other, waiting for the first person to quit. However, to their disappointment, no one stood up. "Now, you accept your fate. I'm pleased with your decision. My decision for choosing you for the Ghost Hunter was right."

"Commander, what will happen to our family." A young woman asked.

"Mrs. Titi. I believe everything is in the brochure. You're B category Knight. Don't you know the benefit? Now, you're Ghost Hunter… Sighed… Check your brochure to see everything. You have one minute to do that." Emma announced sternly. "I'm not talking to Mrs. Titi alone. It meant it for everyone. I know some of you are still bothered about your family member….. I don't want to hear this question again. Now!!" 

At once, they quickly scrambled with their Ghost tabloid. After a few seconds, the eyes of the people began to brighten. A minute pass in a blink of an eye and the voice of Emma echoed in the room. "Is everything clear?"

"Yes." They chorused with a smile.

 "Good! We must arrive at our destination…. ETA 30 minutes. Get your ass moving!!"

[[Sir, three strange jeeps enter the city.]] 

Emma raised his brow. "Monitor them"

[[Sir, I saw insignia of--]]

"Monitor them. I will handle them when I come back."

[[Ok sir.]]
