A Beauty with Multiple Masks novel Chapter 142

If we keep waiting for people to come and rescue us, we would’ve turned into ashes then.” Staring at the programming code which got hacked, Arielle fell silent for a moment. “Move aside, let me try.” “You?” Vinson remembered that Arielle knew some programming. However, he was doubtful of her skills. With only limited skills, can she do what I couldn’t achieve? While he was still contemplating, his body had subconsciously shifted to give space for Arielle to take her seat in front of the computer. Calmly, she assumed her role and started searching for files on the computer without first addressing the programming issue.

Vinson saw how she worked on the keyboard. She did not use the mouse, but merely carried out all operations on the keyboard swiftly. Her speed was even faster than his typing. It suddenly dawned on him that they might have a chance to escape death. Gradually, his trust for Arielle increased multiple folds. Seeing how she operates on the computer, I’m afraid she’s just being modest with her earlier statement. When she said she knows a little bit about acupuncture, she ended up demonstrating exceptional skills and healed the guy we caught. A few minutes later, Arielle stopped.

“What did you find?” Vinson asked. She pointed at the D drive on the screen. Narrowing her eyes, she explained, “The problem doesn’t lie in the program which can’t be removed, but here. This section has been tampered with. Originally, this computer controls the program. Now that it’s been modified, the control system automatically relocates to a different place.” “Where’s that?” he pressed on in curiosity. She shook her head. “I don’t know.

I need to break the firewall in order to hack into their ultimate terminal and locate the place. Also, when I get there, I need to delete the control system.” Vinson turned solemn. “Entering their terminal… This requires an expert level hacker. Can… can you do it?” Arielle took a deep breath. “I can’t promise you anything, but this is the only way. We’ve got to try it. Otherwise, everyone will die. Considering the material of the glass door, I’m not too hopeful that it could be broken from the outside either.”

A rare and frightful uncertainty settled upon Arielle’s face. Gazing at her deeply, Vinson was about to say something when another deafening explosion came from upstairs. Bomb! That was the second explosion and it occurred right above their heads! A humungous hole cracked open from the ceiling, accompanied by raging flames.
