27. YUVA ANALYSIS

 

Monday, 14 May 2046 at 01.18 WIB. I was taken by Yuva and her members escaped from prison in an mpv car. My prisoner's t-shirt and Arfi, which had a screen print on the back of it, we threw it away according to Yuva's orders. Next he scanned the caldiers of the two of us to hack the tracking device implanted there.

“Special users of caldier, it is certain they embed the automatic tracker on the caldier. Because there's no way you're gonna want to give up your life support,” he said.

Just deserve. As I recall, the other prisoners also had necklaces on their necks. Maybe it's a tracking necklace. Tracker so that at any time blurred, can be tracked easily. However, non-users will be much easier to remove the tracker without having to worry about the safety of his life. There are various ways if you already know the trick in particular.

We passed through small streets in residential areas to avoid security checks carried out by the police. Given the number of inmates who tried to escape, it is certain that the security forces were moved to all corners of the place. In addition, Yuva also messes with the traffic system on the highway by hacking it directly through the internet connection. The traffic system is designed with an internet connection by the government to be easier to handle. It's just that that's the weakness, so Yuva can block the access of the police who pursue escaped prisoners by busying them with traffic jams.

In here, in the car. The situation between me and Yuva seemed awkward. None of us started the conversation first. All that was heard was Arfi's chatter with two unfamiliar men sitting on the front bench. Sometimes Yuva also responds to Arfi babbling when deemed necessary. Yuva didn't relax her facial muscles at all.

Instantly he glanced at me. Directly to my necklace. Then his eyeballs widened. “Why can your life point be reduced by half? It hasn't been a month since I last saw you,” he asked in surprise.

“Ah this,” gumamku slowly. The question just dragged me to a moment that made me in a dilemma. Between telling her the truth or having to lie to her. I'm afraid he'll do something else if I tell him the truth. “This is because I shared it with a poor little boy. He wasn't lucky enough to earn a life point,” my excuse.

“What my face looks stupid enough to cover me with a silly answer, Eldan. No document in the caldier can transfer a life point on a person.”

I froze. Trying to think of another way to hide it. But none of my billion brains think hard. Inevitably, my lips and tongue compromise to speak. I revealed what happened to me that the virus I had had had a mutation and triggered another disease because my immune system was gnawed away. In order to get a new caldier wave and install an additional caldier wave, I had to either buy it for a high price or exchange it for a certain amount of my life point.

Yuva's eyeballs bulged while nibbling on her right thumb nail as soon as she finished hearing my explanation. The annoyed face just popped out. Then his eyes moved like he was thinking about something.

“Job!” yuva sighed instantly. I swallowed spit. While Arfi and the other two people were also suddenly silent. “So all this time they've been hiding important things like that? Goddamnit! Damnit!” added again.

“A-what's up? Why do you look upset?” ask me with my chest pounding. Afraid that Yuva turned to yell at me.

Suddenly he glanced at me again. With eyes that almost crept out.

Then he threw his eyes out of the car. Next to his hand adjacent to the glass of the car he smashed many times into the glass quickly. Then he bit his thumb nail back. Still with a look that makes shudder.

 

“What do you mean, Yuva? Did you find any irregularities?” I air the question after slowly gathering the courage to ask.

 

“Of course!” snapped it. The courage I had so hard to muster just now instantly evaporated. The hardening was enough to make me jerk until the back of my head hit the window of the car. “Installing an additional caldier wave for a fee or exchanging it for an existing life point, doesn't that mean life points can be bought for money? All this time we know money is only used to buy and install this caldier to the neck. While the life point itself will appear with the calculation of predictions for the rest of our lives. Not to buy a life point. And they keep this from us? It was revealed in an unexpected way. For what all this time we have struggled if life points can be purchased with money?”

I tried to digest Yuva's words and relate them to the events I experienced. I slowly digested it, and, it makes sense. What Yuva said was right. This principle is almost the same as buying medicine or treatment in a hospital. Before the discovery of caldier, people with dangerous diseases had to sacrifice some money to buy drugs or treatments to prolong their life. Not to cure. The difference is that they have to continue lying in the hospital or being guarded tightly while now we can be free anywhere while carrying our illness painlessly. Because it is no longer possible to see the condition of the disease.

“So they deliberately hide this to the users of the caldier. That we are obliged to serve those who do not have the disease for free. Under the pretext of helping them to prolong our life. They treat us like trash. It's slavery. Goddamnit!” yuva again.

“Ah, just maybe, I think they purposely hid this for some reason. Maybe there is something they must take care of to support this caldier system,” said I who still try to be prejudiced about this caldier system.

“How can you still be that naive, Eldan?” Yuva looks at me cynically. “Letting stupidity take too long to dwell in your mind will only make you unable to do anything. Are you really looking for a way to solve this sister problem? Or are you actually afraid and don't want to bother doing something so you just stand by and accept anything?”

“No! I try as hard as I can. I always think of a proper and peaceful way without having to trigger a feud.”

“What peace? We are not living in utopia. And what have you produced?” yuva fast snapped. I was stuck unable to answer. “In the end you can't do anything. Nothing can be produced in this world if you just think naively like that. You're not gonna get anything. It never will. Never expect anything when you can't sacrifice anything. Stop being kids, Eldan. You are no longer in such an environment.”

I was taken down by Yuva in a place that was no stranger to me. On a small, dimly lit street near my house. On that occasion, I again raised a question to Yuva before she left. I asked him to get out of the car so we could talk alone.
