## The Underground Conspiracy

Vikram ek *sophisticated* (bhadra aur samajhdaar / worldly-wise and cultured) investigator tha, jise aam tareeqon se dushman ko harana pasand nahi tha. Woh aksar kisi *sophist* (jhooti arguments se behas karne wala / a person who uses clever but fallacious arguments) ki tarah baatein karta, aur is *sophistry* (jhooti daleeley / the use of clever but false arguments) ka use karke bade से bade criminals ko fasa deta tha. Ek din, use ek highly confidential file mili, jismein ek underground group ke baare mein likha tha. Yeh group shehar ke neeche bane ek *subterranean* (bhoomigat / underground) secret lab mein kaam kar raha tha. Unka maksad ek *thermonuclear* (parmanu-mutabik / relating to nuclear reactions) weapon banana tha, jo poore desh ko tabaah kar sakta tha.

Vikram ne socha ki is case ko solve karne ke liye use physically wahan jaane ki zaroorat nahi hai. Woh apne ghar se hi *telecommute* (ghar se kaam karna / work from home using electronic links) kar sakta tha aur apni high-tech lab se sab kuch monitor kar sakta tha. Par is operation ka kamyab hona is baat par *contingent* (nirbhar / dependent on or conditional) tha ki kya uski team sahi waqt par wahan pahunchegi. Vikram ki memory bohot *retentive* (yaaddasht tez hona / having the ability to remember facts easily) thi, use har ek detail zubaani yaad thi. Usne bina kisi saboot ke, sirf apne dimaag ki shakti aur *telepathy* (bina bole dimaag se baat karna / communication of thoughts by means outside the known senses) ke zariye apne saathi Rohan se contact kiya.

Rohan ek *feisty* (joshila aur ladaku / lively, determined, and courageous) officer tha. Jab use Vikram ka signal mila, toh woh turant action mein aa gaya. Usne sabse pehle apne dushman ke khilaf ek *aspersion* (badnaami ya jhoota aarop / an attack on the reputation or integrity of someone) failaya taaki unka dhyaan bhatak jaye. Lekin dushman ka leader bohot chalak tha. Woh ek *senescent* (boodha hota hua / growing old or elderly) scientist tha jo dikhne mein zif tha par dimaag se shaitaan tha. Usne lab mein aisi gas chodi jisse sabhi ko *somnolent* (neend aana / sleepy or drowsy) mehsoos hone laga. Kuch hi der mein, Rohan ke saathi thand ki wajah se *hypothermia* (shareer ka taapmaan bohot kam hona / the condition of having an abnormally low body temperature) ka shikaar hone lage aur behosh hokar gir gaye.

Dushman ke leader ne socha ki woh jeet chuka hai. Woh bohot *swaggering* (akar kar chalna / walking or behaving in a very confident and arrogant way) andaz mein ghoom raha tha, jabki uske baaki bache dushman dar ke maare *cringing* (dar se sikudna ya kaampna / cowering or bending in fear) position mein khade the. Usne apni screen par ek *simulacrum* (nakli roop ya chhavi / an image or representation of someone) dikhaya aur ek virtual hologram ke zariye yeh *simulate* (nakal karna / imitate the appearance or character of) kiya jaise shehar par hamla ho chuka ho. Par yeh sab sirf ek *phantasmal* (bharmak ya bhoot jaisa / ghostly or illusory) illusion tha, ek jhoota darr.

Vikram ne apne dimaag ka istemaal kiya. Usne dushman ke computer system mein ek *subliminal* (dimaag ke andar asar karne wala par dikhne mein na aane wala / affecting someone's mind without their being aware of it) message bheja jisne dushman ke computers ko crash kar diya. Yeh dekhte hi, dushman ki poori army ke beech darr fail gaya aur unhe apni poori force ko *disband* (bhang karna / break up an organized group) karna pada. Rohan jo abhi tak behosh tha, usne khud ko *rouse* (jagaana ya hosh mein lana / awaken or cause to become active) kiya aur dushman ke upar *plunge* (tezi se kood padna / push or plunge quickly into something) kar diya.

Jab yeh sab *transpire* (ghatit hona / occur or happen) ho raha tha, tab wahan khada ek aam *bystander* (darshak / a person who is present at an event but does not take part) yeh sab herani se dekh raha tha. Scientist ne aakhiri koshish mein ek *melodramatic* (bhadkeela ya zyada natkiya / overly emotional or exaggerated) tareeqe se rona shuru kiya, jaise use bohot pachtawa ho. Woh apni *carnal* (shareerik ya vaasna-mutabik / relating to physical, especially sexual, needs) azaadi ki bheekh maang raha tha. Par Rohan ko uspar koi *solicitude* (chinta ya parwah / care or concern for someone) nahi thi. Scientist ko giraftaar kar liya gaya, aur uske un saare khwabon ka ant ho gaya jise woh apni zindagi ka *apotheosis* (sabase ooncha darja ya bhagwan banna / the highest point in the development of something; culmination).

Agli subah, shehar bilkul shaant tha. Log dhoop mein *parasol* (ek chhoti chhatri / a light umbrella used to give shade from the sun) lekar ghoom rahe the, is baat se anjaan ki raat ko kitni badi tabaahee tali thi. Aur un criminals ke liye, yeh unke bure kaamon ki aakhiri *obsequies* (antyeshti ya aakhiri rasm / funeral rit

es) thi.
