I heard some static noise coming from the speakers of the room.

[Something is interfering with this place's system]

"Disconnect yourself with the system!"

[Done]

After some loud static noises,[Hello, Das Edens]

It's the same voice as that night!

"Who are you?"

[Nice to meet you]

"Show yourself!"

[I always wanted to meet you]

"I said show yourself!"

[I am not here, so how can I show myself?]

"Why did you send those men to kill me?"

[It wasn't me]

"Don't lie!"

[Why would I lie? It's not like I am afraid of you. After all, you can't do anything to me] 

"Who are you?!"

[Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Augustus, one of seven]

"Huh?"

[I am Kindness of Augustus]

"What are you talking about?"

[I don't have much time. It's a matter of time before he comes and stops me, so I will just say this, I want to be friends with you. I would like to--...]

"What is he talking about?"

Friends?

"Are you there?!"

[Indeed]

It was the same voice, but it's deeper.

"What were you talking about? Why do you want to be friends with me?"

[Oh, that wasn't me. It was kindness]

Again with this. 

"I don't have much time. Tell me everything you know. It's a matter of time until I find you and kill you"

[Unfortunately, you are far from capable of even finding me, let alone killing me]

"I will ask this again. Who are you? What do you want? And why did you send those men to kill me?"

[I believe kindness has already answered those questions]

"Who is...kindness? It was you"

[Nay. It was Kindness, one of my seven]

He is giving me a headache.

"What is this seven?"

"Wh..at"

[Anger, fear, sorrow, kindness, guilt, disgust, and shame. These are my seven selves. And the one you just talked with was Kindness]

"But clones..."

[I created them myself. They have one emotion in them]

"Why?"

[To watch the end of you Edens]

"Why? Why do you want to kill us?"

[I don't know]

"...."

[Don't make that face. I really don't know. When I woke up, the first word that came out of my mouth was Edens. I had this grudge against the Edens]

"What grudge?"

[There are many. And it's not just grudge. Anger, fear, sorrow, kindness, guilt, disgust, shame. I had all of these emotions for Edens. Then I slowly remembered everything. But there are many things I still don't understand. I don't know what to do. So I created these clones after me. I gave them each emotion. And saved the grudge for myself]

"Is this some kind of revenge?"

[Maybe it is]

"Whatever it is. It was done by my ancestors. I have nothing to do with that"

[I know. That's why I have never tried to kill you Edens till now]

"Then what about the attack on me?"

[As I said, it wasn't done by me]

[But you are the boss!]

"That night...you were talking about killing grandpa and my family"

[Oh? So that kid was you. Now that makes sense]

"Shut up and tell me! What do you want? Is it money? Fame? I will give you anything"

[I don't want anything. What can this world possibly give me?]

"..."

[Hello miss maid and miss Lily]

"Lil Das. Let's get out of here"

I don't know.. But for some reason, I don't want to mess with this guy.

He is giving me chills.

No, Das.

You can't let your fear consume you!

"Answer me, were you the one who ordered those men to kill me? 

[It wasn't me. I was just substituting someone else's place. And if you were killed by them then you don't deserve to be Edens]

"So you are saying you have a boss too?"

[Boss? I am my own boss]

"Please talk in sense"

[You Edens are not the only ones being attacked. Even me and my seven clones have been attacked many times]

"What?"

[There is someone else. Some other organization that has been killing peoples]

"Wait, what are you talking about?"

[They manipulate people, like they manipulated the government. And make them their slaves to make them do their work]

"Who are they?!"

[I don't know. They kill themselves as soon as one of my clones catch them]

"But you are working with them!"

[I am just pretending to be part of their game. They are a threat to me, but you. You are not a threat. You are just a kid]

"Why are they trying to attack my family?

[I don't know. And even if I did, why would I tell you? I hate you Edens. And I would love to see you all die]

"I will find you and kill you"

[At least find me first, kid]

"Don't call me kid!"

[Let me warn you. I have seven clones. I am connected with them. But I don't control them. I can know and see what they are thinking and seeing. But I will never control them. I will let them act according to the one emotion implanted in them]

"Then I will kill all your clones and you!"

[Good luck with that. But I know that is impossible. I would love to kill you here and now. I just have to order one of my clones. But Kindness has taken a liking to you. So I will give one chance]

"What chance?" 

[A chance to protect your family, your loved one]

"From you?"

[From them]

"...."

[Try your best to protect them. I couldn't protect my loved ones. But you still can, get stronger, and try your best to protect them. You even have a strong and compatible system inside you]

How does he know about that?!

"You want to destroy us Edens. So why are you asking me to save them now?"

[You are an idiot, you know? I never said I don't want them dead. I mean, seeing your face when they die would be the best moment. But...try protecting them. You have no idea how it feels to lose your loved ones. You have never felt hopeless in your life. Believe me, it makes you want to kill yourself]

"...."

[But I am not saying I won't attack you Edens. As I said about my clones and the emotion in them. They act according to them, all of those emotions are directed towards you Edens]

"I knew it"

I can't trust anyone.

[Hear me, the last Edens. Beware of anger. He is filled with rage. He doesn't listen to me. He can come to kill you and your family anytime. I know what he is thinking and what he is planning. But I won't stop him. So, try your best to stop him and protect your loved ones]

"What...what are you?"

[What type of question is that?]

"That night...you said you have been hunting Edens for hundreds of years. But no human can live that long. What are you?"

[I am Augustus]

[He is gone now]

Dammit!

"Lily, can you track his location?"

[I have been trying to do that, but there is no response. I can't track it. Sorry]

"It's okay. Let's just go home"

I want to see them

I turned back and said, "Let's go. Daulla"

"..."

"Daulla?"

She hugged me tightly and said, "Don't worry, Lil Das. As long as I am alive, nothing will happen to you"

"I know" 

After getting out from the parliament, making sure not to get caught, Daulla called a car from the palace and we went back to the palace.
