The Prohibited Power Syndicate

The Mysterious Randlof

Leo woke up somewhere very dark. After that, he felt the circumstances around him and felt something he had felt before. Some time later, there was the sound of a leg. The voice was getting away from Leo. Soon, a sound sounded like a button being pressed and after that, the lighting in the place started to light up. Leo was surprised. Leo saw someone he knew very well.

“Pak Leon?” said Leo.

“Leo... After a long time, you finally woke up also” said Leon.

“After such a long time? What happened to it?” ask Leo.

“You don't remember what happened? You've been asleep long enough. We found you at the bottom of this robot and took you to this hideout” Leon said.

“I remember that I was at the bottom of this robot because I fell. However, I do not remember the events before and after that” said Leo.

“Didn't you fall asleep because you were exhausted after walking?” ask Leon.

“Maybe that's what happened, I do feel my legs are quite tired” said Leo.

“Luckily we found you. However, why are you able to fall asleep in such a harsh place, Leo? Didn't you ever say that you can only fall asleep with something soft? Or maybe it happened because of the effects of fatigue that you feel?” said Leon.

“Wait... What do you mean by Us, Mr Leon? You're not alone here?” ask Leo.

“We? Yes, I call it us. Because I'm looking for you both with other people who are also in this place” said Leon.

“Who do you mean that?” ask Leo.

Shortly after, someone appears behind Leo and closes his eyes from behind. Leo then unintentionally shouted.

“Huaaa” shouted Leo.

“Randlof, I told you not to be like that to him. Leo is easily surprised and yell” Leo said.

“Maaf” says someone who closed Leo's eyes.

“Randlof, quickly release your hands that cover Leo's eyes so Leo can see you” Leon said.

“Alright” Randlof said as he released the hand that covered Leo's eyes.

“Include Leo, this guy's name is Randlof” Leon said as he pointed at Randolf.

“Include Randolf, this little boy's name is Leo” Leon said as he stroked Leo's head.

“I told you, I'm not a kid!” leo said angrily.

“Hahaha, sorry. I too often think of you like a little boy” said Leon.

“Leon is like that, hahaha. Introduce my name Randlof. I've known Leon long enough” said Randlof.

“No, we just got to know!” said Leon.

“Oh like that you want, Leon? Can I tell that shameful past of yours to this kid?” randlof said mocking Leon.

“Do not!” speaking Leon loudly.

“What happened to Mr Leon's past? Oh yeah, let's introduce my name is Leo Aphros. You can call me Leo, uncle Randlof”.

“Hahaha, uncle. Uncle, uncle, yuk fishing, hahaha” said Leon who mocked Randlof.

“Awas you yes, little wolf” said Randlof.

“Hey, don't bring the past” said Leon.

“Yang started mocking me was you first” said Randlof.

“Did I mispronounce you, Mr Randlof? Is this like better? Besides, what's the connection between uncle and fishing? Then, why do you call Mr Leon a little wolf?” ask Leo.

“Child you raised a lot of questions yes, Leo, Hahaha” said Randlof with a laugh.

“Indeed like that by its very nature. In addition, Leo is not the child I foster, he still has parents who educate him” said Leon.

“What do you mean, Leon sir?” said Leo.

“It's okay. We better think of a way to get out of this robot” said Leon.

“If the way out is definitely there. Want me to deliver?” Randlof.

“No. Don't go through that exit. Just thinking about it has made me feel bad” said Leon.

“Why don't we go that way out, Leon sir? Wouldn't it be better to go down that path compared to having to think of finding another way out? Just take advantage of the existing exit” said Leo.

“That bet, hahaha” said Randlof who mocked Leon.

“Leo, don't you know where we are at this time? We are inside the body of a robot” Leon said.

“Then? What's the problem?” ask Leo.

“Try to imagine if this robot is a human and we are the food eaten by it. What happens to food when eaten by humans?” said Leon.

“It has certainly gone into his stomach!” said Leo.

“Then, are we just sitting in his stomach?” said Leon.

“Of course not, food that enters the human body will be digested” said Leo.

“What happens when food is digested by humans? The parts that are beneficial to the body will be stored and the parts that are toxic or useless will be discarded right? Where do you think the exit is?” said Leon.

“Oh yes, I didn't think about it! Hahaha” says Leo.

“Surely Leo does not think clearly because of fatigue huh, Leo?” Randlof.

“Maybe, hahaha. Oh yes, Mr. Randlof” said Leo.

“Why, Leo? Is there something strange or bothering you?” Randlof.

“How can Randlof sir be in this place?” ask Leo.

“Randlof is working in this place” said Leon who answered him directly.

“I'm looking for a very dangerous object” said Randlof.

“Randlof! Why did you tell Leo about your assignment?! Didn't I tell you not to tell him?!” leon said angrily.

“Isn't it okay if he finds out? And it's possible that Leo could help find him” asked Randlof.

“Whatever why I can't find out, Mr Leon?” ask Leo.

“Alright.. If you really want to know.. Just ask more details to Randlof” said Leon.

“What is really going on, Mr Randlof?” ask Leo.

“I'm looking for a very dangerous thing. It was shaped almost like a circle, but it felt so soft” Randlof said.

“That thing is so soft? It seems I've seen it, but I don't remember where I saw it. Why is it so dangerous?” ask Leo.

“That thing is harmless, Leo. It's just that it should be inside the central government's security. However, one of the many types of objects has not been found” said Leon.

“What if there really is no such thing? What if it was just a central government book?” ask Leo.

“The central government will not make such an essay and assign the eradication group to find that object”.

“Pak Randlof has superpowers too? What kind of power do you have, Mr Randlof?” ask Leo.

“Leo, haven't I told you not to mention everything about superpowers to others?” said Leon.

“It's okay, Leon. I feel like if you've been scolding a child for quite some time, hahaha. I do have strength, my strength is yai-”, Randlof said.

When Randlof wants to tell his power to Leo, suddenly an explosion is heard and destroys the part of the wall near Leo. In an instant, Leon immediately told Leo to jump out through the hole in the wall.

“Leo, quickly jump” Leon said while encouraging Leo to jump.

“I'm not a kid anymore!” leo said with annoyance.

Leo and Leon jump off the robot and Randlof stays inside to complete the task. After jumping, they see the situation around them. The scene seen today is very different from the circumstances before they were swallowed into the body of a robot.
