Chapter 31 - Chapter 31: Great Misfortune

"We have not seen any that matches your description."

Hearing that Fedyenka began to lose hope.

"Please don't lose heart. We will announce a missing notice. Come with us until your friend finds you." said the officers.

"Okay..." said Fedyenka and started walking with them. They reached the police station after a while. She sat there on a chair. The police officers began to talk with each other. A notification popped up on Fedyenka's phone. It said,

"NEWS! A ROBOT HAS BEEN LOST. HER DESCRIPTION IS RIGHT BELOW."

Fedyenka browsed on it for a while. There were many replies. Most of them said that they have not seen anything like that. A police kept his eyes peeled on the phone. The officer assured her that her friend will be found. After a long time of browsing, Fedyenka saw someone's reply that said,

"I have seen something like that in the right alley of the Alyashm bazar."

Fedyenka got up from the chair immediately. The police officer noticed that as well.

"The Alyashm bazar is the one with the Alyashm mall. Maybe your friend got lost because of the crowd the bazar has." said the officer.

"Yeah. I do remember passing a crowd. Shall we go now?" said Fedyenka.

"Yes."

They both headed to the bazar. The bazar was still filled with crowd. When the people saw a cop, they backed away. The cop yelled out with a mic that a robot was seen here. Something floating with cat ears came towards them. Fedyenka looked at it and shouted,

"Bea!"

"Bee! (>.<) (^o^)"

"Hey wait, isn't that Fedyenka? The gift of the god?!" said one of the people in the crowd.

In a short time, more people gathered. Fedyenka started to feel uncomfortable. The cops moved the people away from Fedyenka and escorted her to their car. One of the cops drove the car and left the place in a short time.

"I believe you are from OUTE then. What rank are you?" said the cop driving the car.

"Toru." said Fedyenka.

"We will escort you to the hotel then."

"Damn literally everyone knows about OUTE. It almost feels like the whole world is a whole damn OUTE." said Fedyenka mumbling.

"Did you say anything Miss?"

"No. Nothing much."

In a short time, they reached the hotel Fedyenka was staying at. The cops left after escorting her.

"You know what Bea. Maybe you should tie me up with you. This country is crowdy as hell." said Fedyenka.

"Bee...(-^-)...I...AM...SORRY..."

"It's okay. It was not even your fault in the first place. It's just our fate I guess. Now we gotta hurry and find it."

"Bee? (0-0)?"

"Hawayashumu."

"Bee...(-o-)"

"Let's go back to our room now."

They went to the elevator to go back to their room. Fedyenka started feeling sort of nauseous. The weather there was extremely hot which caused her to have nausea. She went to the bed and laid down immediately. Bea was still charged up. She gave Fedyenka a glass of water and sat beside her.

"Things have been a bit too friendly around me I guess. Happiness never stays in my life. Thanks Bea. Aight then, let's give Grandpa Abdul a visit." said Fedyenka and drank the water from the glass.

They went to the same floor Fedyenka visited last time. The place seemed quiet that time. She saw one of the dancers from yesterday and asked her about Abdul Sheikh. She replied that he is not always available since he is the sixth sage. Fedyenka stroked her chin and said,

"Where can I find him?"

"In the Golden Palace. He visited this place yesterday because he came here to monitor the Torus. Oh who is this little friend of yours? Is she the one who you were looking for today?" said the woman.

"I see...Thank you. And yes, she is that friend of mine. Wa-Wa...daean."

"He he. Wadaean Fedyenka. Please be safe out there. Many people are willing to be hostile towards you."

"I will remember that."

Fedyenka left in a hurry. She met some Toru like her on the way. But they seemed to be talking with someone, wearing the same headsets she saw when she first came. She went to her room and checked her bag if she has brought anything that will help her hide from the crowds. She checked, and checked but she could not find anything that would help her with it. She gave up and searched in her mobile what time the people in the country works. She knew from it that, the day was a national holiday.

"So this is why it was so crowdy over there..." said Fedyenka.

Then she searched more on the internet. She also found that the people in 'Ard Aldhahab usually starts their works from 7:00AM to 4:00PM.

"The people here seems to be so into their work that they don't even look here and there. Maybe it's all that headset's fault." said Fedyenka to Bea.

"Bee (^-^)"

Bea seemed to agree with her.

"Alright then. We will head off at 7:00AM tomorrow. Let's just explore around here."

"Bee!!! (0-0)...NO...CROWD...SCARY!"

Bea seemed to be scared of the crowd. Fedyenka replied that she feels her.

"I chose that time so that there won't be no crowd follow us. By the way, my bag is pretty big and you are pretty small. Perhaps you can get in my bag so that we won't make people come over to us!" said Fedyenka opening her bag a little.

"Bee...(^o^) (;-;)...NOT...NOW..."

"Okay."

Fedyenka searched about herself after that. The only app she could use to search in that country was Murshid. She found out that the people worldwide knows that a specialized being has been created who's body was compatible to adapt the genes of many beings. But she still could not find how the body was created or found. Some say that the body has been found while others say it was created in the lab. Even though OUTE claims that they created Fedyenka, Fedyenka herself finds it distrusting.

Fedyenka wore a mask and told Bea to stay in the room. She searched her bag again and found a black hoodie. After she wore her black mask and black hoodie, she looked pretty much like her brother. He went outside wearing it.

She bought some chocolate milk from the vending machine outside and started walking with it while taking sips. Some people grabbed her from behind and removed her mask. They laughed at her saying, "Mind accompanying us. Miss?"

"I do mind. Who the hell are you guys?" said Fedyenka with a stern face.

"We are some people from the same hotel you were staying at. We have some business with you."

"Why are most trainees of OUTE so dumb."

"What."

"You want to have this card from me right? You guys have been staring at it the whole time."

"Well since you already know, then mind co-operating with us a bit? If you fight with us, there are CCTV cameras here. We will hand the footage to the superiors saying that you were being hostile towards us."

"Bro...look. If you help me with something, this card is yours."

"Until I hand you to the cops of course." said Fedyenka in her own mind.

"Oh? An equivalent exchange. Alright, tell us."

"You guys are weird...Anyway, what I need you guys to do is, to take me to the Golden Palace. I can assure you that-"

"So that you can hand us over to that old man playing tricks? You think we are dumbasses?"

"Um yes you guys are dumbasses. Let me finish my words. You can fix some bombs or whatever on me and have the switch in your hands. I am assured about this much that you guys won't hurt me for nothing."

"Why so?"

"Well, hurting me for nothing will put you to a loss. I am a modified being after all."

"We can just frame you can't we?"

"How so?"

"Ughh this is getting us nowhere man. Let's just listen to her." said another one among the three men. Their whole body was covered in clothes. Not even their eyes were visible.

They injected something in Fedyenka. They told her that they injected a poison in her and that they will release the poison from the capsule if she does anything that opposes them. Fedyenka instantly realized that they were ordered by OUTE to do this to Fedyenka. It is because, removing such dangerous capsule is the work of one's flow of energy which Fedyenka has adapted very quickly. Perhaps, OUTE's superiors wanted to see how much she can use of her power.

"Now listen, the whole place is busy whilst they are once busy with their work. But when the humans are busy in their own work, warbots are busy as well. I hope you know what warbots are." said the one amongst the men who has been talking all along.

"Yeah. They are robots who can fight in short."

"Yes. So, we have to hack the system. We will get in and you will hand us the card. Once you hand us the card, we will still be observing you. After you are done with your work- wait a minute. What job you have in that palace?"

"I have some business with Abdul Sheikh."

"What business?"

"I have something to ask him."

"About what?"

"Bro..."

"Alright I won't ask you too many things. We don't have that much time in our hands anyway. Quick boys, let's move."

They left the place in the blink of an eye. She did not go back to the hotel. Instead she started going to the cops. They appeared again out of nowhere.

"You fucking little piece of dirt. You were going to the cops to report us." said one of them. It was hard to say who since all of their voices and dresses seemed the same.

"You guys are robots right?" said Fedyenka staring at them with a stern face. It was as if she was not even a little bit surprised.

"Say another word and we will make your flesh melt."

"Another word."
