"W-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w that…"

"Just tell me the truth, who knows if you have a problem, we can help you, right?" Nero said again which was then taken as a sign of agreement by Vincenzo and Taz.

"That-that's…"

"Friends!" The voice interrupted their eardrums, making the four of them sitting on the table look up to the direction of the sound. There, only a few meters away from where they were sitting; marko walked up to them with his hand holding a tray of his food.

Walk up to their table, then sit right next to Taz there.

"I brought news! Do you want to hear?" He said with a fiery voice, he looked very excited because he brought the news he wanted to convey to his friends.

"News? What news?" Dean asked snatched quickly, he should not waste this opportunity. In this way their focus shifts and their previous topic of conversation will not be continued again.

"You don't know the news yet?" Marko looked at those who now looked curious.

"Yet. What news do you have?" Ask Nero there.

"In a moment" Marko pulled out his phone, twitched for a while and then showed the phone to his friends.

"It!" He said while thrusting it towards them.

"Can't you zoom in so we can all see it?" Taz looked annoyed, he could not see what was written there.

"Oh, right too. For a moment," Marko pulled back his phone, setting it in hologram mode. He placed the phone in the middle of the table as a transparent hologram appeared in front of them.

An article shows a strange phenomenon, where some evolvers are said to disappear mysteriously without knowing where they disappear, they disappear suddenly just like they vanished without anyone knowing.

"What'sthis? Several hundred students and high school students disappeared?" Dean looked at Marko asking for an explanation. The man was busy struggling with his food, so getting a question from Dean he turned his attention to Dean.

"Yes. They all disappeared suddenly" Marko said enthusiastically.

"missing? Mean missing? Lost how?" Nero appears to be not connected to what is meant by missing in the article.

"Yes missing. Missing without a trace and no one knows where they went, it's even been days since their disappearance, no word yet if they're back."

"really?" Vincenzo.

"Yes. And you know what? Not only high school kids like us are disappearing, but some students and office workers are too."

"uh? So you're saying it's not just a small part of it that's missing?" Taz was still trying to digest his words.

"Yes. Not just a small part but most of the people are missing."

"But why can?"

"What's this?"

"I've done an internet search, and you know what I got?" Dean and the other three friends shook their heads in unison.

"This phenomenon does not occur only in Indonesia, but in various parts of the world as well" he explained.

"W-what?" Taz surprised.

"Is this true?" Dean still didn't expect.

"Yes. Oh and again, this!" Marko re-shifted his hologram screen, displaying an article on the same topic but in a different case.

"I heard that one of the eyewitnesses saw how they disappeared, but the eyewitness's words were not believed by people including the police because they thought that the eyewitness's words could not be believed, especially because there was no concrete evidence to prove it."

"uh? What did the eyewitness say?"

"One of the witnesses said that if he saw the incident when one of the victims was missing, the victim was approached by several men in neat clothes. All in black complete with glasses, and they suddenly attacked the victim. Until then one of them shot the victim with a bullet that made the victim unconscious."

"But isn't what's missing are evolvers? Doesn't every evolver have the defensive power to protect themselves? But how can they lose?" Nero asked there.

"Well, this is also what makes the eyewitness distrustful. Because as we know the evolvers in general have a different body resistance to ordinary humans and even if the person shoots him, he said, it will not be possible to be unconscious just like that because basically evolvers have the resilience to recover. Therefore, the eyewitness who claimed to see the incident was then stamped as the person who spread false news."

"But wouldn't it be if the men shot him with bullets and special sleeping pills that could make the evolver weak?" Vicenzo gave me the possibility.

"It could be," Taz agreed.

"No. I don't think there can be such a drug, after all you know yourself, right, if we evolvers don't really need such a drug, anyway, and after all we've never had any disease and doctors have never dealt with evolvers, most of them just dealing with ordinary humans who basically have different immune systems to us," Marko disagrees. The man then ate his food back.

"Hm... I think there's something strange about this, right?" Nero.

"Yes, I agree. Something seems wrong with this case. Moreover, you're saying that this is happening all over the world and that no one can find the whereabouts of those missing people, right?" Taz glanced at Marko.

"Yes, right. No one can find the whereabouts of those missing people, this is what makes me feel the feeling of why they can be lost and where they are lost? It's impossible right if they suddenly just disappear without a trace?" Marko Sahut. The five of them are there in a very curious feeling.

"I agree. There is something odd about this case, especially this news is not too much discussed as if no one is trying to explore what is really happening" Dean said.

"Is there something behind all this?" Marko.

"What do you mean by that?" Nero frowned not understanding what Marko meant.

"I mean something is…"
