Chapter 6
Who Are You
Siddharth watched in horror…
His own body was moving toward Kriti.
"No… no…"
He tried to stop it.
With everything he had.
Because if he failed—
His love would die.
"STOP…!"
He screamed from within.
"System! Show yourself!"
A screen appeared.
[So… you finally understand.]
[Among all the hosts… you are the most intelligent.]
[No wonder… you were chosen.]
Siddharth's heart skipped a beat.
"What do you mean—chosen?!"
But he didn't wait.
"Give me my body back!" he shouted.
"And if anything happens to her… I will destroy you!"
[I'm afraid… that won't be possible.]
A pause.
[Tonight… she might die.]
For the first time—
Siddharth felt true fear.
"Please… stop this… PLEASE!"
He begged.
But the system ignored him.
---
His body kept moving.
It reached Kriti's house.
The door opened.
Kriti was already standing there.
Waiting.
Prepared.
Her eyes were calm… but focused.
As if she knew this moment would come.
---
The system displayed a message in front of her—
[You know what's about to happen, don't you?]
Kriti didn't move.
[Are you not afraid?]
Silence.
Then Kriti spoke—
"I trust him."
Her voice was steady.
"He will find a way to save me."
---
At that exact moment—
Siddharth's body lunged forward.
But—
THUD!
Kriti swung a bat.
She stepped forward, putting all her weight into the strike—
And hit his leg.
A cracking sound echoed.
His bone nearly broke.
But not completely.
[What are you doing?] the system asked.
"I'm protecting myself," she replied.
The system instantly healed the damage.
Kriti attacked again.
Same spot.
Again.
And again.
The system grew irritated.
---
Inside—
Siddharth was fighting.
Struggling.
Screaming.
For her.
And slowly—
He started regaining control.
The system noticed.
[This is… unexpected.]
Its control weakened.
Suddenly—
Siddharth felt himself being pulled away.
Pushed back.
Falling—
Into a deep, endless void.
---
Darkness.
Silence.
Nothing.
Siddharth kept falling…
Until—
He hit the ground.
He looked around.
This place… wasn't normal.
It felt like another dimension.
Empty.
Distorted.
Unreal.
---
Meanwhile—
The system left Kriti.
And rushed out of the house.
Something felt wrong.
Kriti, confused, followed it.
---
It reached the teacher's house.
Entered.
Walked toward the body.
Then—
It grabbed her neck.
And with brutal force—
Tore her head off.
Kriti froze.
Horror filled her eyes.
Then—
He moved towards Raghav home
In silence
Without expression
In the cold night
And did the same
With Raghav
By using his brutal force
Tore off his head
Blood splashed in whole room
Now—
It stood there…
Holding two heads.
One in each hand.
---
Night.
Silence.
It walked toward the side of hindon river...
A figure in darkness.
Carrying death.
Kriti followed from a distance.
Terrified.
---
Suddenly—
The system stopped.
Turned around.
A screen appeared.
[Kriti… come forward. I know you're there.]
Kriti stepped out slowly.
"What are you going to do?"
The screen changed.
[I am following orders.]
"Orders…? From who?"
Before she could react—
Siddharth's body threw a pill toward her.
It hit her mouth.
She accidentally swallowed it.
"What—"
Her vision blurred.
Dizziness took over.
---
Meanwhile—
In that void—
Siddharth stood up.
He wasn't alone.
Someone was there.
A figure.
Watching him.
Siddharth narrowed his eyes.
"Who are you?"
The figure smiled.
"Oh… so this time…"
"You will be the culprit."
Siddharth froze.
"What are you talking about?"
A screen appeared in front of him.
[Look at your lover.]
The figure stepped closer.
"I've been waiting for you."
Siddharth's voice shook—
"…What?"
