Theft of the Future

Theft of the Future
Chapter 5



Back at school, Laju sat quietly in his favorite barrel with his friend.


Lucky, for this case they still haven't left Laju a


selves. They are still willing to play, spend time together, even if only


to watch vehicles passing by, or even pensively waiting


twilight.


But, the condition of the pace does not necessarily improve just like that. At least, uh,


there are a few things that are of concern to him now. What dreams appear


overnight? Does it have anything to do with white-haired women in the park? And


the most important thing was what he had to do to finish


the academy's problem?


He believes he's been cheated. He did nothing wrong


can make his name smudged.


Or has he ever done it? He doesn't remember.


To be sure, rather than bothering about this alone at school,


better he just stop by his favorite tongkrongan – even though it's actually a place


this does not guarantee that you will get a solution quickly. Both


not a suitable location for pensive, finger-biting, and thinking about time


fore.


But what else can you choose?


“What's with Rate? Tumben him like a confused person,” call his friend


who wears a black shirt who is choosing fried foods.


“Hah? Tumben you care. What was? Less money?” students in the


beside him. “As usual, mom. In the name of the speed, yes. I ordered jumbo noodles


specials and iced oranges.”


“Well that's the problem. If his mood is bad, it could be that he is not


you can have lunch here, right? That's hazardous. I don't want this day to end


so fast just because of his unstable mood.”


His glasses friend looked at him slowly. “He was just notified


that his invitation letter to the academy has been lifted. I don't know if he failed or


he made a mistake, but now he is frustrated. Or that's what I


listen to the kids gossip. I don't really understand either.”


The student in black clothes frowned. He's trying to listen


and process the information that just came. Is that good news?


Is that bad news? He didn't know, but he stopped caring. New


after that, he reacted. But his reaction was really annoying.


“Hahahaha!” He laughed contentedly. “Ha-hahaha!”  Until it's almost out of breath.


The entire stall distracted her attention to the laughter, except for Laju


which is still confused. Some were curious, also disturbed. But, on


finally no one cared so much and resumed his activities


respectively.


“What are you laughing at?”


“No,” he rubbed his chest, trying to breathe normally back. “I


just.., think that's funny. Don't know why. Just funny. So


funny for a very perfect person like Laju,”. “News it


like..., people's dreams come true, right?” He patted his friend's shoulder.


“Be careful when talking. I don't really want to serve Raju if


his true nature is beginning to come out. My pocket money this week is very sad. I


do not want to eat grass,” he replied while lowering his friend's hand


leaned.


“What? I can't see the nature of Laju so dangerous.


Obstinate? Selfish? Swaggering? Or is his anger uncontrollable? Just chill.


Left for a few days he will return. He needs us.”


“You need him. I need him. We need the pace.


People need money and their reputation. I don't want to castrate


this relationship is too fast. I still love my own life,” he said


take the tray given by the shopkeeper's mother.


“Please, son. The order is ready!” from behind the counter table.


They also went to the front where Laju was still pensive. Start sitting neatly, then,


bribing, sipping, enjoying his free meal.


“You didn't eat, Ju?” Ask the glasses, open the conversation.


But Laju did not respond other than turning his head with his cynical eyes. She still is


very confused thinking of solutions and ways to solve the problem.


She's frustrated. Very frustrating. Who wouldn't? When the future is stolen


just like that.


A new conversation is heard again when the food is half over. “I heard


you're having a bad day, Ju. I don't really understand how


his condition and how you feel now. But what if we play


at Boss Alex's? Maybe you can at least refresh yourself there,” said


the glasses with sympathy, with a coughing response and a burst of water from the


another friend.


He still thinks this is all henya a joke apparently.


“I heard Adrian just got home from work, right? She must have


I have a lot of weird stories again. You have always admired and been curious


with his life on the black market, right?” Continue while bribing the last bribe


his food. The glasses know how to persuade Laju.


“Oh he's home? I miss him too! How-how long? Three


months since last met?”


At first, they thought Laju still could not be persuaded. Her mood


still bad. But after that, slowly Laju's head tilted and looked at the


the skies. “Bby also,” he said. “Come pick up Fadli first!”


“Betul also. Those glasses have been acting lately, yes!”


***


Heck!


The worn-out iron door was opened by Laju. After that, they were already in


a very dark, seedy, smelly little alley, and anything you don't want


think of.


This place is filled by community groups who were dumped by their families


alone, homelessness, loss of morals and common sense, trying


survive in their own way.


Although the atmosphere offered by this place is very gripping,


dangerous, and suspicious. The pace and his two friends were not at all daunted


passing through this area except Fadli who is being embraced by Laju. I don't know what


which he fears. Are these people, or is it precisely the pace that is in the


beside him.


These people were filled with those who had not bathed for months, full of


dust and mud, also from vehicle fumes or cigarettes, with a fragrant scent


the rotten ones, either those sitting leaning against the wall, or those blocking the way


sleeping recklessly.


At the beginning of Laju here is a little scared and alert. It's just natural, all


people who pass through this place first will definitely run away in droves


because it does not want to start or approach a problem that will be troublesome


her life.


The conditions this time are different. The people who live here are


instead ran away when Laju and his friends came. Lucky, lucky,


today they get a little forgiveness seeing a pace that is just a path


calm down, not interested in doing anything to them, except for his friend


this black-shirt.


The old food cans lying on the street just kicked him


a middle-aged man who was warming himself in front of the fireplace


artificial on top of cylinder garbage can. Not to apologize, this kid


laughing as if he had just scored a brilliant score. This man can't


anything, except a thin smile to Laju and his friend with a falling out tooth.


“A-aw-ahaha. Ha-Hello. Have a nice day,” exclaim beak man


the victim who remained focused warmed up, forgetting about the new can


towards the building which is at the end of the alley, after the turn, behind the door


second iron


From the outside appearance, this building both has the same condition


alarmingly. However, do not judge it only from the outside. Condition


the furniture and furnishings are like a five star hotel. With


marble floor, shiny beautiful furniture, large aquarium in one of


side, super large television, soft sofa lined up, to expensive objects


othersmore.


This is the place that Boss Alex calls home, where Laju used to be


spent time other than the food stall. Of course the people outside


no one knows. Because there is only fear if they approach the territory


these.


Besides, this door is not open to just anyone.


“Oh, Rate! Welcome!” Excite someone with a high posture,


burly, with his shiny bald head that was opening the door.


The pace of stepping into the room deeper, sitting on the sofa comfortably in the


in front of the un-lit television. The pace just fell silent, sat back, and


staring ceiling. He still could not solve the invitation issue


that academy.


“Please, tea and snacks,” exclaimed the man who opened the door earlier.


“If there is anything just call again, as usual.”


“Tumben base deserted. Where are the people?” The boy in black


initiating the conversation while glancing left-right.


“Some are still busy working. Some are training in the yard


back.”


“Oh? Wow come ah! Ju, I borrowed Fadli, yes!! I want to play throw


knife again. Dli, beware if you move again like yesterday!”


“EEhh? Ah, Ng!” Fadli could only nod in fear.


An unconcerned pace only looked at him blankly.


Next, remember that he was given a snack, immediately he ate with the tea


and snack.


For a moment he remembered something. He came here hoping to forget


so there is no need to be frustrated throughout the day. But, he's conscious


just tea and snacks is not enough. But he also refused


watching television that the show could not have expected. Without a second thought, he


he went to the second floor and knocked on the room at the end of the hallway


golden door.


But after a long time he waited, no answer came from


inward. The pace was quite disappointed and clicked his tongue. His bad mood became.


But he tried to entertain himself. His fake thin smile was taken out with


coercively. Maybe Alex's boss is gone. Well, time to ask the guys


officer what's going on. The speed went back down to the ground floor.


“This is very confidential news. The public is not yet widely


got it. The government is still confused as to how to respond. But new


there was a strange incident at the border. Boss Alex got it from


trusted connection and is picking up Adrian for his certainty,” replied the man


baldy earlier, explained to Laju.


Tuk tuk!


Incidentally, there was a knock on the front door with a bald man


it's open which turned out to have been present Boss Alex and Adrian. The mood slowly


improve. Although both of them were looking hurried, panicked, shocked, and confused.


They still appreciate the arrival of Laju. “Wah, Speed! Welcome then.


I will discuss a lot with Adrian. Want to come?” Ask one


with a tall stature, in his 30s, narrow eyes, wide forehead, and


blonde hair. He's Alex's boss.


Of course


Follow pace. This is why he came here.


Strange events discussed will actually be reported by


medes. This news is not a super secret. But, with that connection


owned by Boss Alex, they have more accurate information.


This phenomenon occurs at the border. That's what the boss said


Alex, Adrian, and his sources. The pace is not so knowing and understanding where


the border is being discussed. He was curious, not wanted


investigate the incident. He was more curious about the strange events.


What is weird?


There has been a dome-shaped impact on someone's house


very unnatural one. One reason is because there is no such thing


this can cause this event to happen. If there is, the cause is stone


big ball shaped. But where? People cannot find it in


crime scene. A ball with a diameter of approximately 10 meters is impossible


move easily just overnight, without any contractor machines


helping him.


The next problem is, no society hears about it


the voice of the contractor who works at night. The only sound they


hear only the sound of a blow, like an explosion, like the sound of a fall. Nonexistent


the other.


The government and the media would call it an accident


development. Because, in the complex there is construction of buildings and


all sorts. But, of course it doesn't make sense. The distance is too far. Sure


there's another reason it's causing a hit that big and fast. Connections that


alex's boss also explains that there are purple crystal particles in the


the scene of the incident hidden by the government, suspected of being an object


who came from the forbidden city.


And this is where Adrian's role to answer all these mystical things.


Wh why? Because Adrian is a person who works to investigate mystical and supernatural things


those. Adrian works under a black market that he always interacts with


forbidden city. And the new answer he can give so far is,


conspiracy theories are true.


The initially dubious pace of those theories of conspiracy is now perceiving


his eyes are wide open. Adrian's job thinking is just about dealing with stuff


illegal on the black market alone for Alex's boss, not about conspiracies or


that monster. But hearing his explanation of everything made sense.


The pace is becoming more interested.


Next, Adrian explains further while opening the video


very Recognized pace. This is a video that's been playing at the gym for a couple of weeks


then. Adrian could believe. Half of the content holds the truth, though,


even though he had actually not been able to provide any real evidence to the others. But, uh,


he said this is his job now. Seeking that evidence


directly to the field.


The speed immediately remembered the events of the night before. When he met one


women with white hair, who have diamond eyes. That woman


it means not a human and Laju has just made contact with a strange monster


it!


One more reason that makes Laju interested in this conspiracy theory.


But of course the pace will remain silent. He doesn't need to tell


the whole story goes to Adrian, even Boss Alex though. He doesn't want to


trouble's complicated. But of course he was curious about things


this supernatural. I hope Adrian doesn't suspect it.


“Please tell us more about the diamond-eyed creature, dong!”


Exclaims.


“Oh, about those in disguise, huh? That's a unique case, youh!” Adrian exclaims


while fixing the position of the round glasses.


The pace and others hearken to Adrian's explanation.
