Zero Two นิยาย & เรื่องราว

Two figures stood at the observation glass. Ahead: a frozen expanse older than recorded history. Below: a sealed experimental depth zone. At its center— A structure marked extinct. Activated. A low-frequency pulse emerged. Perfect alignment. With Alexander’s heartbeat. Vivienne’s retinal interface triggered without input. No command issued. No permission granted. Red text formed directly in her vision. WELCOME HOME, SUBJECT ZERO.

UNKNOWN USER: ZERO Vanessa’s eyes widened. “The ghost.” Inside the garage Wolfe looked at his phone. The detonator signal had failed. For the first time— He frowned. Leo whispered quietly, “Zero just saved us.” Then another message appeared on the screen. Three words. NOT FOR YOU.

ISLA'S POV The ticking of the office clock had become the metronome of my despair. Six years. For two thousand, one hundred and ninety days, I had survived in the sleek, glass-and-steel corridors of the Blackthorne Group, fueled entirely by a promise that was slowly turning to ash.

Just one. A single line of green text appeared on the main screen. REBOOT COMPLETE. Then, a second line. HELLO, MOTHER. I stared at the screen. Who are you? I typed. The cursor blinked. I AM ZERO, came the reply. AND I AM EVERYONE. I looked at Zero's body. Her eyes snapped open. They weren't white. And they weren't gold. They were black. Absorbing all light. She sat up. The leather restraints snapped like twine.

The system had requested for clearance, a d that was the easiest thing to do, because the information I needed were surprisingly on the file. I typed as quickly as possible, and the files opened. There were geographical surveys, and a blacked out floor plan, stamped with a logo I found difficult to recognize. Then, I saw a circle enclosing a single dot, just a single word. Zero. For no reason, my fingers hovered over the screen. That word alone..Zero...stared back at me. Just a glance at it, I could tell something about it didn't feel like data anymore. It was more like the system recognized me, like it knew I was right there.

I felt like I was in heaven when I saw him solving the equation. "As a result, a is now 1, b is 2, and c is 3. Hence, 2 multiplied by 1+2-3 equals n. First, I distributed two terms to each of the three groups. As a result, 1(2) + 2(2) - 3(2) = n is obtained. It's a zero if you solve it." While explaining my solution to Lee, I focused solely on him. "Just like the answer that I have on the board..." I told myself internally, "Because you're a boy, my feelings for you should be zero." I sighed in sadness.

Many kids scrambled to pick numbers between one to ten, because - who didn't like to come in the first ten, right? When it got to my turn, I scrunched up my face and picked zero. Master Haruki scoffed and said I needed to pick another number. He said Zero meant I was nothing, but as young as I was, I reasoned in my head that zero came before one and I told him as such. I knew he considered it when he put his hand against his chin in meditative thought.

I asked, furrowing my brow. “It doesn’t!” Zara said, her eyes wide as she opened a keypad typing the number. My heartbeat increased a little when I saw that she had memorised it despite her thinking it was a number of male escort agency. “That’s a zero.” She gaped at me. “It’s not.” “It is. That’s a zero.” I said, pointing to the closed loop on the picture she had taken. “That’s a six, Hayden,” she said. Her black coloured nail pointed at the line. That must have been my mistake. “See? That’s a six.”

Noah made a show of trying to divide 130 by 0 on his fingers, “…infinitely more people than you, yet are not considered dangerous, then why should you be considered dangerous?” Astar Levi couldn’t understand just when, how, and where the suffocating gloom within his chest had disappeared to, but right now, the only thing he felt was a ticklish warmth. So cozy, so gentle, like a butterfly kiss. Unbeknownst to him, the corners of his mouth twitched upwards, “There is just one of me, but who knows how many deer.” “That’s true,” Noah nodded, “But 0 multiplied by the number of deer is still 0, ah!”
