14. THE OVERLAPPING MIND
“So that's what it's been doing all this time?” asked Alma as soon as she heard my story.
I'm nodding. Saturday, 14 April 2046 at four in the afternoon. I gathered Brother Alma, Bang Auron, and Arfi in my house, even by forcing them. Even my mother stopped selling today. Anyway, for this reason, I just want to tell the people closest to me as fellow caldier users.
“It turns out, the caldier can also be used that way huh? Genius once,” comments Arfi while flicking his finger.
“Arfi!” bang Auron snapped at Arfi who was standing behind him.
“Sorry, just kidding,” reply Arfi.
“That means this calendar system is not perfect. The principle is the same as the equipment we often use. Like a knife used to cut vegetables and fruit. When used incorrectly, it can be a tool to do evil deeds,” said Bang Auron gave a logical explanation.
“So the point, this calendar system is not wrong. What is wrong is the way it is used?” kak Alma asked affirming Bang Auron's argument. Bang Auron nodded.
“This is a really bad thing. I can't imagine this until it's known to other caldier users who have the same fate as Yuva and Viola. With the potential to get a greater Life Point, many will be tempted,” comments my mother.
While standing leaning against one of the walls in this room, Alma exhaled cigarette smoke from her mouth. His gusts sounded, as if he was trying to attract attention. “Basically they did that due to urgent circumstances. I personally can't completely blame them either. But also do not agree with the actions they do,” he said.
“But the so-called act of helping a criminal act cannot be allowed. If normal people know that there are caldier users who help in crime, then they will consider all of us as criminals. It's a very bad impact,” explained Bang Auron.
“You mean, we can all be thrown in jail, Bang?” arfi asked with a tense face.
“I think it's too light impact, Arfi,” interrupted Bang Auron fast. “The worst impact is, those who have full control over this system will disable this system. In other words,” takes a little pause before continuing. “We'll all die.”
Arfi's face looked paled. Mother and Bang Auron bowed lethargicly with blank gazes. Alma's sister is still smoking her cigarette as if it's going to be okay. We are all silent. Maybe each of us is trying to calm down and get out of this complicated situation. Like programmed automatically by itself so as not to panic too much and stress think about this.
“Actually my goal of gathering all of you here is not just to tell you about this situation. I'd like to ask you guys for help to stop Yuva. Because I'm too weak. I couldn't stop him myself. Please, if you have a proposal, tell me and help me,” my door while throwing away half my pride.
“We understand,” said Kak Alma quickly. He moved to the table in the middle\-center of the sofa and chair we were sitting on to turn off his cigarette on the ashtray. “We will think about it together\-together. If anyone has an idea, you should contact each other immediately. And it looks like we have to gather like this often to find a way out,” he added.
“Then, we should ask for help from other caldier users to think about it together,” suggested Arfi.
“Do not!” prevent Bang Auron fast. “We better keep this a secret from anyone. Because maybe someone did not care and instead turned to support Yuva with a more crazy idea. For now, we can't trust anyone.”

Monday, April 23, 2046 morning. I focused my hearing and vision on the morning newscast. A bank robbery by an unknown offender occurs again. The bank security system was hacked to perfection. The security system is really tight right now. If your movements are scanned by the system, you may lose your arms or legs. Worst of all, loss of life. Many businesses now use laser cutters as a security tool.
A few days ago also broadcast the disappearance of rare gemstones in the gem museum. Just like always, the security system was hacked perfectly. And some things elsewhere happen the same thing.
My mind was never taken off by Yuva. The reliable female hacker whom I had acknowledged her prowess with my own eyes since this High School made me even more riled up. In the past, several times he often hacked the documents of lessons at school to see the answers to the exams to be held.
“To do remote hacking, usually have to connect with internet. Not all computers use the Internet. Magnetic Scanners. By attaching these magnetic scanners to electronic devices or computer-system places, I was able to hack them from a distance of one kilometer. Awesome, right? The risk is, I have to lose this tool if not quickly I take again.” This was his speech at that time when his spirit was hacking anything that could challenge him.
Magnetic scanner is a small flat object that can be attached anywhere. There are circular, square, and other unique shapes. Its function is a scanner and a control signaler. A hacker would program and scan electronic equipment remotely through a magnetic scanner and hijack the system.
It's been a week. I don't say hello to him. When I saw him, he deliberately did not want to see me. When I met him in his class, he passed by saying a few hurtful words. My phone never picked up. Messages via cell phone were never answered. Yuva really avoided me.
Instantly I got up from my seat as I saw a very familiar figure appear on local television Range. “Yuva,” gumamku.
Yuva appeared live as a speaker at a local news event this morning. The news carrier threw some questions at him around the hacking world. Yuva very well explained about the security system hack that occurred. He reveals the ways of hacking he knows. In detail, I do not understand the explanation because I myself do not really understand about it. But the problem is, why would Yuva want to divulge her own secret?
If I sort the work of my simple brain, perhaps with reason as the source, he can use it as an alibi to avoid the accusation of the perpetrator. This is a very risky act actually. I shouldn't be surprised to remember Yuva who I knew was smart from High School. It's just that the change in nature that is getting more and more makes me creepy this at all I don't want to accept. What demon has possessed him?
“You see the news?” I read a message on my phone.
