The Protocol of Tianxing
Chapter 2: The Hollow Frame Ke Saaye (2050)

Coordinates 24X — Sector 24X ka entrance ek purana, rusted gate tha jo ek abandoned AI research facility ki taraf le ja raha tha. Tianxing aur uske companions — Zhenkai (真凯), Shuyin (舒音), Meili (梅丽) aur Feixue (飞雪) — ab iss path par the jo unhe Echo Signal ke asli origin tak le ja raha tha.

Tianxing (天行) - A New Understanding
Tianxing ne apne Survival System ko activate kiya. System ne dimensional flux detect kiya tha — ek signal jo stable nahi tha. Uske dil mein ajeeb si bechaini thi. Meili uske paas aayi, uska haath pakda.
> Tianxing (天行):
"Meili, tumhare AI Pulse system ko samajhna mushkil ho gaya hai. Tumhein kya lagta hai, hum kahan ja rahe hain?"
Meili ki aankhon mein ek deep calm tha. Usne AI Pulse ko adjust kiya, aur ek low frequency hum hawa mein gungunaya.
> Meili (梅丽):
"Yeh sirf quest nahi, ek test hai. Tumhara connection Echo Signal se deeper hai. Shayad tum khud uska part ho, Tianxing."

Unexpected Ambush – Shadow Units Attack
Gate ke paas pahuchte hi ek sudden pulse environment mein fail gaya. Feixue ne turant alert kiya:
> Feixue (飞雪):
"Unregistered entities — Sector breach detected!"
Teen black-armored Shadow Units unke saamne materialize hue — purane rogue AI agents jo kisi aur protocol ke liye kaam karte the.
Tianxing ne bina soche apne Vector Blade ko activate kiya, aur ek Shadow Unit ki taraf jump kiya. Uska blade ek blue plasma arc mein chamka, aur usne pehli strike mein ek unit ka arm kat diya.
Meili ne apne AI Pulse ko shockwave mode mein convert kiya. Uski body se ek vibration blast nikli jo doosre unit ko momentarily stun kar gayi. Par teesra unit ne us par fire kiya — ek energy bolt seedha Meili ki taraf aaya.
Tianxing ne uske samne aa kar bolt absorb kiya. Uske shield system ne impact liya, lekin wo gir gaya.
> Meili (घबराकर):
"Tianxing!"
Zhenkai ne turant system hack kiya aur ek EMP script inject kiya — ek digital burst jo last Shadow Unit ke AI core ko fry kar gaya.

Post-Fight Reflection
Tianxing ne zameen se uthte hue Meili ki taraf dekha. Uska shoulder burn ho gaya tha.
> Tianxing (मुस्कुराते हुए):
"Main thoda overheat ho gaya. Tum theek ho?"
> Meili (धीरे से):
"Main tumhare bina theek nahi ho sakti."
Unke beech ek chhoti si khamoshi chhayi. Pehli baar, Meili ne uska haath thama — emotions aur survival ka yeh mix naye dimension ko define kar raha tha.

The Rift's Awakening
Zhenkai ne purane gate ke interface ko decode kiya. Ek hologram activate hua:
> “Protocol Detected: Origin Unknown. Activation Required. Dimensional Distortion Imminent.”
Gate ke andar se ek white rift khula, jismein electric light pulse kar rahi thi.
> Zhenkai (真凯):
"Ye sirf ek gate nahi... ye ek mind chamber hai. Tum sabke emotions yahan weapon ban jaayenge."
> Meili:
"Tayyar raho. Andar jo hai, woh tumhare weakest parts ko target karega."
---
The Rift Opens
Tianxing ne rift ki taraf kadam badhaya. Echo Signal uske system mein resonate kar raha tha.
> Tianxing:
"Main taiyar hoon. Jo bhi sach hai, uska saamna karne ke liye."
Aur woh rift ke andar chala gaya — jahan reality, memory aur future sab kuch reframe hone wala tha.
