In conference round table all the brothers were gathered around with grave faces, the information Sushani gathered were just too unimaginable.
"Hey replay the videos, let's see if we could make something of it."
Anil suggested, in fact he the only person with clear brains among this group. The rest of the group including Hari were thunder-struck.
Sushani looked around before playing the video once again, as others inched to edge of their seats.
Few seconds later the video played. In front of the camera, a mutilated b.l.o.o.d.y human figure was tied to the wooden chair.
He kept on mumbling… "Kill me, kill me, ….. please kill me"
One could only fathom the torture he has been through from his terrifying fresh wounds and burn marks. He certainly in a state 'Life worse than Death', unsurprisingly this is the teen Hari bought.
"Who are you?"
An emotionless cold eerie voice resounded, the guy was actually waiting for this question.
"Thank you, thank you….." the mutilated human opened his vacant eyes before starting.
"I'm Yash Hydre. Young Master of Hydre clan, Gyru city; during an expedition I offended 'Tyrant King'. Though I was a promising talent in the city it's nothing before the magnificence of 'Tyrant King's stardom.
That ruthless fellow wiped out my clan and crippled my brain, making it not so easy to use. But he even went a step further to banish me to the World of Mortals."
Though it was a short, everyone present could feel the overwhelming sadness and bitterness bottled. Still none of them sympathized with him, rather everyone watching the video were utterly confused and clueless.
"Where is your city exactly located?"
Once again the same eerie voice resounded but this time it had a hint of perplexity.
"My city is in… is in… Ori Realm… Ahhhh"
All of a sudden all his orifices bleed and his eye opened wide while pupil shrunk; a figure rushed to him, and tried emergency treatment only in vain.
"He's dead."
A short declaration in the same indifferent eerie voice and the figure turned around. It was Sushani, she was the one who tortured Yash to pull out some answers.
And the video ended with a black screen, an irritable silence prevailed.
"Maybe that guy was lying?"
Anil could only give a stupid suggestion to break the suffocating silence.
"It's impossible, Sushani is Expert Interrogator; she's the best or one of best in this line of field. So no one can deceive her, certainly not this dumb brute."
Hari answered without turning his head and Anil had a sudden flash of inspiration.
"That's it, he wasn't deceiving anyone, he was just telling the truth; his truth. The one he believes to be true, I'm certain that he's delusional or has some sort of mental ailment."
Anil raise his voice in excitement but was shot down once again.
"He was neither delusional nor mentally ill; his pupil movements were steady, his pulse was normal and I couldn't discern any other symptoms of mental instability. The most baffling thing is his mysterious death, it's totally unreasonable."
Riya shot down Anil's a.s.sumption with facts and all the others nodded; while Anil was totally speechless.
'how could you guys be so shameless; it's already a miracle that he didn't die of that inhumane torture and you have the gals label it as unreasonable death.'
Anil mentally criticized his brothers for being so thick-skinned. Actually Anil threw up when he first saw this video, he just couldn't stomach the violence.
"There's undoubtedly some issue with this guy; he moment he uttered the word 'Ori Realm' he mysteriously died.
The only logical conclusion this clue leads us is that, the fella named Yash had some sort of mechanism which will be triggered if he utters these characters; which is totally illogical.
Furthermore, he didn't hesitate before uttering 'Ori Realm' which means he didn't know about the mechanism.
Rather he would have committed suicide long ago by uttering these words instead of going through the painful torture for more than an hour.
Moreover, his death itself is a mystery; even Riya couldn't identify the cause for heart rupture or brain failure. More intriguing point is even post-mortem did yield any clue about the mysterious mechanism."
Priya substantiated the point of focus to give everyone a clear picture.
*sigh*
"I think contacting the teacher is the only way, he'll certainly know something about this guy and Ori realm."
Then he placed a triangle pod on the table, it was a state-of-art holographic projector; a digital flower girl popped from the pod, literally a loli with lily head.
[Welcome, Ex-Soldier Hariharasudan.]
It was cold yet cute voice, no emotion could be traced rather a strange flavour of charm was just bizarre to hear.

"Lily connect to Jagor Lion."
Hari ordered, Lily's Indian Military Artificial Intelligence.
[Request processing….. Authentication….Authorization...Connecting to Marshal Jagor Lion.]
Soon Lily vanished, an old man in Dark Blue robe appeared, his face was full of wrinkles and his hair was completely white. Only one word could describe him 'Old', he was so old that he's almost ancient.
"Hari it's been a while. How have you been? What are kids up to now"
Like a caring father the old man enquired Hari's well-being; he's Hari's mentor Jagor Lion, the head of Indian Army. Hari's face blossomed with smile br.i.m.m.i.n.g, he nodded his head quickly while everyone followed his lead.
Just when Old Marshal noticed a new face among them Hari drew his attention.
"Teacher please look see this video." Hari solemnly stated before switching on the laptop.
The old Marshal was totally unfazed by the b.l.o.o.d.y scenes, once the videos ended he tied his hands back and vacantly looked into the screen.
*sign*
"Why are they so irresponsible, treating earth like some wasteland; idiots."
Though the Old Marshal mumbled Hari and others could easily hear it; then he turned around and wrinkled his brows looking at Hari.
The Old Marshal made some strange hand signs. Then he moved towards them and literally walked out of the hologram.
Hari eyes nearly fell off; he has never seen such a magic trick. Though the old Marshal was still illusory he suddenly seemed to have a life; it was like talking to the person in person.
"How did you.. break out.." Hari tongues were tied in shock.
"Why should I break out, it's not a prison. Lad are you sick?"
The old Marshal answered with a puzzled face, intentional teasing his student a bit out of habit.
*SIGH*
"Brat you're still the same dumbo, didn't 2 years of idling enlighten you even a bit. Huh…. Seems you had a fortuitous encounter; what really happened?"
The old Marshal criticized while carefully scanning Hari though he was in some sort of astral form. He intentionally avoided anything about the Yash and the mystery swirling him.
"Sir...er…What are you talking about"
Hari asked as he looked at his teacher full of confusion.
"You're rapidly recovering haven't you realised it yet, there's some strange energy in your system mending all your inner injuries.
Look at your shoulder, don't you feel it's a tremendous recovery given that it's only been couple hours.
By next month all the injuries and internal damages would be mended; you would make complete recovery."
Marshal Jagor spoke as he scanned as though he was seeing through Hari's body.
