CHAPTER 16
“The mysterious earthquake occurred again in the Soreang region, West Java, after two hours of the Cimahi earthquake and West Bandung, respectively, then two hours later the earthquake occurred in the Majalaya area and two hours later it happened again in the Rancaekek area to Chileunyi, this mysterious earthquake or shock seems to appear every two hours in a different region, back to the studio.”, said the reporter who was on location.
After getting a call from Mr. Yono, Randi was surprised by the news “So during my leave, the earthquake still happened” he said while watching the news. Due to the appearance of this mysterious shock, the central government finally asked for help to bring in researchers and scientists from abroad to help in researching this very rare event.
As a result, many countries from around the world directly send their best people to help solve the mystery, this earthquake has become a hot talk of the world even defeating the fame of super masked humans aka Randi itself.
But not a few also associate the existence of this mysterious earthquake with the presence of Randi which also surprised many people as well.
Yeah, I understand if they hooked me up with this. It's natural.
After the news broadcast was completed, Randi then opened his laptop and opened an online map from one of the websites on the internet.
“The initial point is in Bandung precisely Gedung Sate right, then Cimahi, west Bandung...” at that time Randi was giving a point and a sign to areas that experienced a mysterious earthquake hoping to find a clue.
For two hours once well, lastly Chileunyi, after that it did not appear again until now.
From the observation of Randi and his movements, the earthquake seemed to try to circle the central city of Bandung starting from West Bandung Regency to Chileunyi through Soreang and surrounding areas.
“If my instincts are right, the next earthquake must have occurred above Chileunyi. Between Cijambe, Cimenyan, or, Lembang.” said Randi while thinking hard.
Hmm, if the mastermind of all this wants to destroy Bandung Raya through artificial disasters, then they must lead to dams, reservoirs, and highlands. Maybe Lembang becomes their next target, I better track it later.

November 30, 2020, BPP Lembang Office
“Siap sir, I finish today as soon as possible, see you”
Randi was in his office and was typing a report that he had to finish today, but the reports just kept coming to each other. Not infrequently Randi always receives a phone call every half hour once to twice.
“Hah..perhaps today will be a tiring day, so please not to overtime” said Randi while sighing.
“Yo, how are you?” not long after that Erik visited his office and greeted him while carrying two cans of cold drink. “Sehat” said Randi, after which Erik suggested to Randi to take a short break while giving one can of his drink to Randi.
“This, drink” said Erik.
“Ah, thanks a lot” reply Randi.
Yeah, get some rest.

Since visiting his office, Erik has talked more about the attack on Bandung square to super masked humans. It made Randi become a little tense for fear of being known and became excited.
Uh, but he didn't know I was going to Bandung, did he? So, it's still safe.
Because remember that Erik was not informed of his departure to Bandung made Randi feel quite relieved and his heart was calm again, “What happened to that mysterious earthquake?” erik asked in a curious tone. “Ya it confused researchers let alone me, from the report here also no one can find the cause” said Randi.
Then while Erik was talking about something else, at the same time Randi picked up and checked his phone to find the latest news about the mysterious earthquake.
No more earthquakes well, actually there is one suspicion anyway but if here no earthquake means that suspicion is wrong.
“Yes, I'm back first. Coincidentally today will be overtime, said Erik while out of the office.
“Oh, yes, thanks for the drink” reply Randi.
*
Erik's exit from his office, suddenly Randi's phone rang.
Oh, my God, report again.
In the end Randi can only go home at five in the afternoon because of the work that continues to arrive “Haahh...capek also, eh? Jeez cloudy!” just contact Randi directly move his motorbike to go home immediately before it rains.
Don't bring a raincoat, hopefully go home.

BREAKING NEWS!
After returning home, he immediately turned on his television to find news about the mysterious earthquake, apart from television he also looked for it in cyberspace. “Waduh, does not exist or the news has been diverted huh?” he said while searching every website and television channel.
At once Randi was surprised because most news on television and on the internet always aired the stories of artists or celebrities, there are also those who aired about the beauty of nature.
Strange too, the news of a mysterious earthquake of this magnitude seemed to just disappear, the news about me was no longer there.
Randi recalled that yesterday the hashtag about him had ranked second in the international social media world. But after he checked back it turned out that the hashtag had disappeared somewhere and was replaced by the hashtag of the celebrities.
Loh, what the fuck? How did it suddenly disappear?
It seems certain that Alex's plot has something to do with this.

In the middle of the night where everyone had slept asleep and rested, at that moment they all did not realize that the birds around them were flying at each other as if trying to escape from their place of residence. Not only birds, but also dogs and cats and other animals who feel the same instinct.
WOOOSHHH!!!
The silent night turned into a frightening night where the trees were loud because of the great wind but unfortunately these signs were not realized by humans.
Moments later, Randi, who was sleeping soundly wrapped in a thick and warm blanket, suddenly began to feel that his body had swayed to the right and to the left by itself. “Emm?” at first he still did not realize it and ignored it because the shake was said to be small, until one day the situation got worse.
DDDRRRRTT!!!!!!
The mattress, cupboard and even the glasses on the small table immediately shifted and vibrated to make the glasses fall off each other, as well as Randi who almost thrown from his mattress.
“EH WHAT IS THIS?!” randi shouted who immediately woke up from his deep sleep. At that moment he felt an extremely intense shock, his body as if it was being torn to and fro in a very rough manner.
Not long after Randi who was still in his bed just ran even though his body was swayed by a big shock, he tried to get out of the house as quickly as possible.
Shit, shit, shit.
Drap drap drap drap!
BRACKET!
Panicked, he finally broke down the door of his own house to get out of it as quickly as possible.
“GEMPAAA! EARTHQUAKEAAA!”
He also heard the cries of his neighbors who were trying to tell other neighbors that there was an earthquake.
BUCKLE!!!
At the same time some parts of the residents' house including Randi's own house immediately collapsed instantly. “Jeez, my estimate is correct!” said Randi, the originally peaceful night turned into a chaos that shocked many people there.
