Chapter 2 - First Connection with Living World

After suddenly disappearing from there, sometime later the boy suddenly appears in the middle of a highway.

As soon as he appears on the highway, a car is speeding toward him. The moment he sees the car coming straight at him, he gets terrified and, screaming, grabs his head and sits down on the road.

Boy (Spirit):

(Screaming)

"Aaa… aa… aaa… mamma!"

But the car passes straight through him. He remains sitting there, holding his head. Cars and trucks keep passing through him one after another. After some time, he stands up and thinks—

Boy (Spirit):

(Thinking)

"Looks like I really am dead."

Thinking this, he looks at his hands. He cannot believe that he is truly dead.

After a while, he walks across the highway. As soon as he crosses it, he reaches a deserted road where there are no lights. From a distance, a car can be seen approaching on that road. Seeing the car, he thinks—

Boy (Spirit):

(Thinking)

"Hm… let's confirm once again whether I'm really dead."

The car speeds toward him and starts honking from a distance. Suddenly, it stops right in front of him.

The car window rolls down, and a 28–29-year-old man leans out angrily and says—

Boy in the Car:

(Angrily)

"Hey, midnight ghost! Did you find only my car to die in front of?"

But the boy (spirit) keeps standing there with his head lowered, hands covering his ears.

Just then, three boys step out of the car, including the driver — their names are Ayaan, Rishabh, and Pankaj. The three have been friends since school. Recently, they started a business together. All three are around 28–30 years old.

Pankaj speaks angrily—

Pankaj:

(Angrily)

"If you're so eager to die, go hang yourself somewhere or jump in front of a train! Why do you want to ruin our lives?"

Rishabh:

(Angrily)

"Can't you hear us?"

Suddenly, the boy looks up in shock and says—

Boy (Spirit):

(Excited)

"You… you can see me?"

Ayaan:

"No, we're crazy. We're not talking to you, we're talking to the air. You're invisible, right? How could we see you?"

Boy:

"No… I'm a ghost."

Pankaj:

"Bro, what did you smoke? Ganja or charas? Tell us."

Hearing this, the boy gives a faint smile and starts walking toward the car. All three shout together—

All Three :

(together, angrily)

"Where are you going?!"

Ignoring them, with a slight smile on his face, he continues walking toward the car. Suddenly, a cold breeze begins to blow softly, and dogs start howling.

The three notice that the car's headlights are passing straight through him. Fear begins to grow inside them. And before they realize it, he walks right through the car.

Then he turns back toward them… and lets out a terrifying laugh.
