Chapter 8 - Mystery Man & War

I started roaming around and reached my regular spot where I usually spent time. I sat there for more than three hours and was about to return, then from nowhere a middle-aged person with a fully grown beard in a white dress appeared in front of me.

This was the first time I had seen him there. I have been coming to that place for more than six years and had never seen that person.

He looked at me and said, "You are very close to what you are looking for, keep going and soon you are going to save yourself and others around you from a danger."

"Danger? Who are you and what do you know about me?" I asked him.

He replied, "That is not important. What is important is that while you are trying to find out what has happened, you are also going to

find out what is going to happen. You alone will be able to prevent the danger."

I felt that he was trying to warn me, but I could feel some positive vibes coming from him. I asked him, "So will you able to help me find out who or what is the reason for all that is happening?"

"You have the answer," he smiled.

I wanted to test his intelligence, so I continued my question, "We are seeing an upcoming trend of new psychological disorders. Who can stop all this?"

"Humans stopped interacting to each other in person, and stopped using the God-given five senses of touch, smell, sight, hearing and taste. They are attracted to artificial ways. The way humans evolved is all based on how we have started using the various parts of our body. We learned to walk on two legs instead of four, then started standing on two legs. Then, we started learning to use hands, fingers and holding things. Slowly, we learnt to take control of animals and the environment around us. We started using the cognitive abilities like thinking, reasoning, logic, etc. The moment we realized that technology could serve us as a servant, we started delegating everything to it. And now, we are gradually delegating the thinking process to

technology as well. If you look at the evolution of human beings, humans evolved physically by eliminating all those body parts that were not required, such as the tailbone, muscles that move ears, etc. As a result, the structure of human body got changed. So, the current trend of too much dependency on technology may give raise to a new generation of human beings, physically modified or altered.

"So, you mean to say, a new breed of human is in the process of evolving? We are far too dependent on technology for everything. The motor movements for human body have come down by almost two-thirds. The use of sensory organs is already down by three-fourth. What will happen to human beings?"

He replied with a smile and deep sigh, "What will happen? Imagine, all those organs and senses disappearing and a bare human body with hands and legs limited in length, limited in motor movement, a big gunny bag like stomach, bended neck with inability to look upwards or sides, the face only having eyes that are unable to look anywhere but downwards."

My body let out a shiver. That description scared me and I started sweating despite the chill in the air.

I asked him, "How can we stop this?"

He smiled at me and said, "You already have the answer, the only thing you have to do is REALIGN everything and find out the answer."

"Can you please tell me who you are?" I asked.

"You know me and you were looking for me." He said. Before I could say something, it started snowing and I turned around for a moment. In the meanwhile, he had disappeared. I could not find him anywhere after that.

However, for as long as he was there I felt a positive vibe and energy. I came back to the hotel room and went to sleep. I tried recollecting if I had ever seen him before. But I could hardly recall. I stayed for another day there and returned back to Hyderabad.

I called Cherry to ask if he was able to find out what I had asked for. He sounded positive. We decided to meet in my apartment the next day.

I called Sekhar and Cathie and told them that I was back from my vacation. I asked them to join me for a meeting at the headquarters in the afternoon.

I sent a message to Mr. Smith, saying that I will be meeting him soon.

The next day Cherry came to my apartment. We started looking into his findings.

Cherry explained, "Jai, what we are looking at are two different things? The financial crisis and the cult group ROAR. The sources for the cult group are from China and Russia. For financial crisis, the stock markets' databases have been altered, changes were being made to the data for more than six months. It was all planned and it's an artificial crisis. With respect to the cult group, I could manage to trace the IP of the website server and find out that its origin is in China. But what is still missing or what needs to be identified, is whether it's done by a single group or different groups."

"Great Cherry! Let's keep the ball rolling. Please find out if it's the same group or different groups. The moment we have complete details, we will be able to submit a report." I concluded.

Cherry left the room and I started for the headquarters. Sekhar and Cathie were already there by the time I arrived.

We went into the meeting room and I explained to them the new details that I had received from Cherry.

I explained, "Jennifer's case had created some doubts, and that made me suspect a bigger group behind what is happening. Cherry is trying to gather concrete evidence and records to find out who is behind all this from China and Russia."

While we were talking about this, there was a lot of noise coming from outside the lobby and we went out to find what was happening.

Our attention was quickly arrested by what was showing on the news channel on the TV. We found out that that China had launched attacks on the borders of India, South Korea and Japan. All the army posts had been destroyed and a lot of damage caused. The prime ministers of both Japan and India had called for an urgent meeting. Emergency was called across the nation.

"China attacks us? What can be the reason? We have entered into friendly terms. Then why this all of a sudden?" said a puzzled Sekhar.

In the meantime, Cherry arrived and updated that all the traffic related to financial crisis and Cult group came from a single private network in China, and part of the traffic was from Russia.

He had gathered all the relevant electronic evidence and brought it with him. We shared the evidences and information with the head office.

The ministry of external affairs decided to call for a meeting with other countries.

Maybe they want to fight with us, and are calling for a war? The thought came to my mind, but I did not say it out loud.

"So, are the other cases also linked with it? What made you suspect that financial crisis is linked to this?" asked Cathie.

"During the interrogation of the businessmen who had gone missing, I found that they knew that a crisis would happen the next day and they all went underground to hide until the crisis was resolved. The businessman told me that they noticed some abnormal changes happening to their financial systems and software for more than three weeks before the crisis happened. They were trying to find out the root cause but before someone could find it, it all came out."

"Then why didn't they just disclosed this, and why did they accept the imprisonment?" Came another question from Cathie.

"Because they wanted to avoid facing the investors as they were clueless about who did all this." I went on to explain, "They wanted to remain jailed until this was resolved, in order to stay protected for a while from media and investors. I suspected that there is somebody behind this and that is why I asked Cherry to find out who it is. I just heard from Cherry that we have found out that it's China. With respect to other cases, we need to spend some more time. For this, Cherry and I will be travelling to Sydney shortly and make progress from there. Smith took permission and approvals from the messenger company for investigation. I think we will find some clue there. But at same time, let us go to the NCHDM and find out if the doctors had anything to do with the tampering of the health records of Bobby and other kids.".

We went to the NCHDM and interrogated the staff and doctors, but none of them appeared to have links with the tampering of the data.

I called up the headquarters to find out what was happening with respect to the China attack on Indian and Japanese borders. The Indian ministry of external affairs had sent a message

to China asking for an explanation for the attacks and the artificial financial crisis.

There was a fresh round of attacks across the Indo-China borders and at the Japan border. India had asked China to reply soon, or they stood the threat of an impending war. China got a similar response from Japan.

Meanwhile, Cherry and I had started for Sydney.
