God Apps

Chapter 11 : Romi the Hacker

 Romi has been successfully rescued from AionTex's grasp, initially he was locked up in a basement inside AionTex's factory, where he was forced to complete the God Apps project, which would later be misused for the benefit of AionTex. There Romi does not work alone, he is accompanied by Jiro (A Hacker from the AionTex), who always treats Romi badly. Romi has to work under pressure, while continuing to hope that Kriss will read the secret message he gave, then save him immediately.

 And finally it happened, Kriss came with his two colleagues and managed to save Romi from there, they managed to escape from the factory where Romi was held. But unfortunately, Romi's God Apps project is still in AionTex's hands, and the project will be continued and then perfected by Jiro, so that AionTex is still one step ahead of Kriss and his friends. However, of course Kriss and friends will not let AionTex succeed in carrying out their evil plans, they will try to make plans again, and keep trying to thwart AionTex's evil plans.

 Long story short, Romi is now at Lisa's residence, or we shall call it the secret headquarters of the Kriss group, which now consists of Lisa, Beni, Kriss, and Romi. Romi is still not fully recovered, his body is still trembling and looks thin, besides that he also always feels dazzled when he sees a bright light. That's because for several days Romi has always been in a completely dark basement, and doesn't get any sunlight.

 While sitting on the sofa, using a blanket, Romi drinks a glass of hot chocolate given to him by Lisa. Romi seemed to really enjoy the drink, because all this time he was always fed plain rice and only drank plain water. Actually, from the AionTex company, he and Jiro were always given rations of delicious and nutritious food, but Jiro always grabbed Romi's food rations, and Jiro was always rude to him while they were both in the basement.

 Then Beni, who was furious, asked Romi. "Why don't you fight him ?! Don't just stay still. "

 "I- I'm afraid, if I fight him, I'll be treated even worse." Said Romi.

 "Never mind, the important thing is now that you are safe ... Are you now ready to tell us about everything?" Asked Kriss.

 "Y-yes, I'm ready."

 Then, Lisa immediately sat down, lined to Kriss and Beni in front of Romi. They are ready to listen the explanation given by Romi, about this important project he is currently working on, which can provoke evil intentions from a large company. Romi started his story about a year and a half ago, when he was still a free hacker.

 "As you know, I have expertise in computer programming. And from the past, I've always used my skills to do fun or make money illegally, so several times I had to deal with the police, especially with Inspector Kriss. About a year and a half ago, I was arrested again for making trouble online again, and that was the last time I messed up. Because a policeman advised me and said that I should be able to think mature and start using my skills to help people. "

 "Who are the police who have advised you that? Who knows I know the person? " Asked Beni.

 "He is Inspector Kriss." Romi answered.

 "Wow." Beni was flabbergasted.

 "I knew it." Lisa said with a smile, while Kriss just looked down and smiled.

 Then Romi continued his story, "Therefore, when I was free again, I immediately changed my bad habits." I started to stay away from everything that was illegal, and make money in a better way. "

 "In what way?" Asked Beni.

 "Youtube."

 "Oh, you became a YouTuber?"

 "You could say that, my YouTube channel only contains information about technology, and share tips."

 "Yes, that is good enough.” Said Kriss.

 "We haven't reached the AionTex section yet?" Asked Beni.

 "Be patient first." Said Lisa to Beni.

 Then with a smile, Romi continued the conversation, “I'm starting to enjoy my new way of life. Until one day, I began to realize the potential I had was greater than that, my expertise could be even more useful for others. So I started to get the idea of creating a site that could help other people find whatever they needed, more specifically. So that then I can help other people to find missing items, or maybe people who are missing. "

 "Wow, that's a great idea."

 “Yes, then I started building the site from scratch and until it was completely finished. By creating a program that is combined with complex algorithms, with a very high level of difficulty, it also takes a long time to process. For several months, I kept trying to perfect the site, until finally I succeeded. "

 "Then, how?"

."I select people who really need help, by scanning each social media."

 "Scanning each social media is not easy, because the number of social media users is certainly not small." Said Lisa.

 "Yes, but with the help of algorithm that I created, my site can do it easily and quickly."

 "Hmm." Kriss and friends continue to listen, and have not come to a conclusion.

 "Finally, I found a number of people who were really in a difficult situation, and by using the search site that I gave them, they were finally able to find everything they needed. Some were able to find their lost pets, some were able to find their missing children, their lost jewelry, their lost vehicles, and so on. "

 "How does your site find things?"

 "I told you, with the algorithm I created, the site can track everything from various equipment, for example cctv cameras that are scattered all over the place, or even track things with the help of satellites from outer space. Combined with some information from various social media and other sources, then ... BOOM !!! Everything can be found. "

.Kriss, Beni, and Lisa, were immediately shocked when they heard Romi's words. Complex programs and algorithms, they cannot digest easily in their brains, but one thing they can definitely absorb from Romi's story, is that the site created by Romi is very powerful and can search for everything people want, as long as that person is true, really in need.

 Then Kriss said, "Romi, don't you realize what you created is something amazing?"

 "Yes, and if it falls into the wrong hands, then disaster will inevitably occur." Lisa said.

 “Eumm, what's the name of your site by the way? I want to try it. " Beni even asked like that. Then Kriss and Lisa looked at him sarcastically. Because Beni still has time to joke around at times like this.

 Then Romi replied, "The name of my website is ... 'Finding'."

 "I'll look for it right now." Beni said while taking out his cellphone.

 "Beni." Kriss said warning.

 But Romi said immediately. "It's useless, you won't be able to find it. Because, that site has now disappeared. "

 “Disappeared? Why?"

 “As the popularity of my site increased, the bad guys started sniffing it out. Then Jiro comes as my match Hacker, and with the help of all the resources from AionTex, he finally managed to find my residence. "

 "Hmm, I think I can guess what happened next." Kriss said.

 “That's right, I found out that someone was trying to track my whereabouts, so I immediately put the tracking device in the socks I was wearing, then I made an email and inserted a secret message about the coordinates of this tracking device into the email. Then a few days later, the thing that I was afraid of began to happen. People from AionTex suddenly came to my house to steal my creations. They managed to break in and arrest me, but before they came to my room, I immediately deleted my creation site and also took some important files with me. Then, even though I had put up a fight against them, they still managed to take me. "

 "After that what happened?" Asked Beni.

 “I was taken to the AionTex company building at night, and was met by a person named Leonard… He offered me a job, that is, I had to create the search site again, and give AionTex complete control. But I refused. "

 "Hmm, Leonard." Murmured Kriss.

 "Then what did they do to you?" Lisa asked Romi.

 "They tortured me and kept forcing me to work on the project again. Although I still insisted I did not want to, knowing that my creation would definitely be misused by them. But over time, because I could not stand being tortured, I was forced to obey their wishes. "

 "They are arrant." Lisa said.

 “I was given orders to work on the project in a basement, along with Jiro who was in charge of watching over me there. AionTex also added some adjustments to the project, they wanted me to change the platform from being a website to an application, which can be carried anywhere by one smartphone ... Besides, they also want to change the name, from 'Finding' to "God Apps', what kind of name is that?"

"Um, it seems like the name 'God Apps' is cooler." Said Beni.

 "Hah?" Romi said with his eyes wide open.

 Then Kriss began to conclude, “Let me sum it all up. Long story short, since then, you started working on the project together with Jiro, in the basement of the AionTex factory ... And you said that now the project is almost complete, but Jiro managed to secure it into the database of the central AionTex company, right? "

 "Yes, that is true."

 "Then, our job is still not finished. We must be able to reclaim the project, from the central AionTex company. " Kriss said.

 "Is that our next mission?" Lisa asked.

 "Yes ... Romi, I won't force you, but do you want to join our team?" Kriss asked Romi with a firm tone.

Then without the slightest hesitation, Romi replied, "Yes, of course I will participate in this mission, however, that project is my responsibility, and I am the one who has to stop bad people who want to misused it ... I will use my skills to the fullest, to help you. " Romi answered with determination.

 "Okay, then we have agreed. Now you better get a rest. " Tell Kriss to Romi, while leaving.

Then Beni immediately approached Romi, saying. "Psst, after we succeed in reclaiming the project, let me try using it just once."

 "Beni." Lisa said.

 The application, which was originally a website, has now been successfully developed and renamed to 'God Apps', which is now being worked on and refined by Jiro (Hacker from AionTex), the application will soon be completed, and if that happens, then no one will be able to fight AionTex anymore.

 From the explanation that Romi has given, now Kriss can conclude that the root of this problem is an application created by Romi, an application made with the intention of helping the multitude people, but can be very dangerous if it falls into the wrong hands. Kriss imagines, if AionTex can take over the application, then they will use it to eliminate business rivals, dominate the stock market, or maybe overthrow the government. What is certain is they will not possibly use it to just look for a lost cat, or a lost wallet.

 Therefore, Kriss and friends must rack their brains to make plans, and try to be able to reclaim the 'God Apps' project stored in the central AionTex corporate database. That means, they have to infiltrate the company, and steal all the contents of the file along with all the information in the database, so that, they will eventually be able to unmask AionTex, and expose all the crimes related or masterminded by AionTex.

 Meanwhile, AionTex also did not remain idle about the actions of Kriss and friends. The search for Kriss and his friends is increasingly being carried out by AionTex, using the services of hit men, professional hackers, as well as dirty police officers who have been bribed by them, thus making the room of movement for Kriss and friends will be narrower, and cause them to be unable to move freely.

 During the day, In the AionTex corporate building, which is tall and majestic. Adnan and Jiro were standing facing the table where Leonard was at. With an awkward feeling, Adnan and Jiro waited for the words that would come out of Leonard's mouth, who was both annoyed and confused thinking about the loss that was obtained from the actions of Kriss and his friends.

 When Leonard started to get up from his chair, immediately Adnan and Jiro were shocked. Then Leonard spoke to the two of them. “Even though the task I gave you both was very easy. You keep an eye on Romi, and you get Kriss. But now, not only is Kriss still on the loose, he's also got Romi. We should not underestimate this problem. They are a big threat! "

 "I've been relying on various ways to be able to catch Kriss, but he ..."

 Before Adnan finished his sentence, Leonard immediately said. "Shut up. I don't want to accept any excuses! ” And when they heard this, Jiro was also just silent, he did not dare to give an excuse.

 Then Leonard continued his words, “The enemy is always one step ahead of us. Even though we've played both attack and defense! They can still beat us, that's because they have an advantage, which is an existence that is difficult to track down, like a ghost. Now, give me the best advice or ideas so we can catch them all, right away? Without having to wait for God Apps to complete. Because Kriss and his friends will definitely not give us time until it can be achieved. ” Leonard asked.

 "I- i have an idea." Jiro said.

 "Spill it."

 "We have to be able to guess their next destination. Previously, Inspector Kriss was eager to save Romi, and he finally managed to find a way to do it ... Now, what else could he possibly want? " Jiro asked Leonard and Adnan, who were in the room.

 "Hmm."

 Adnan said, "They've got Romi, so next Step, they will definitely try to get God Apps."

 “That's right, we should use that to lure them out. We're setting up a trap here, while the God Apps project we're working on, will be moved to working on somewhere else far from here. So that the project will be safe from them. " Jiro said.

 Then Leonard said, "So you mean, we should turn this place into a battle arena?"

 "Yes, but of course it all must be with your permission, sir." Jiro said.

 "Wait a minute, I don't have the skills to catch people." Leonard said.

 "Don't worry, I can manage all of that. I can prepare a few people to ambush them here, and all you have to do is sit quietly and leave all this business to me. ” Adnan said convincing Leonard.

 So Leonard paused and thought for a moment, then he said. "Hmm, okay then, I allow it ... Adnan, I'll leave the ambush problem to you. As for Jiro, I gave you permission to take and work on the God Apps project to a safer place. "

 Then, Jiro and Adnan nodded, indicating that they would carry out Leonard's order. Now they have got the task, therefore, Adnan and Jiro immediately prepare everything related to their respective duties, and they will definitely do their best so that Kriss and his friends can be caught, then God Apps can be successfully perfected and be used.
