Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 2033

"No!" Estelle approached Bernard with a hushed tone, "We discovered something abnormal implanted in Bernard's body. At first, we thought it was an internal bomb, but it wasn't. Now I finally know what it is!"

"What is it?" Amiee asked.

Several guards charged at Estelle, only to be mowed down by a burst of machine gun fire from Josiah's hovering helicopter. Dust and debris flew as half a dozen men were flung aside.

Estelle had reached Bernard by now, snatching the laptop from his arms and locating the mouse. She spoke to Bernard with an icy voice, "The data is on your left hand, isn't it?"

The data chip had been embedded in Bernard's left index finger, and the mouse was more than a mere alert device; it also had a chip sensor. The laptop would only boot up and display the data when Bernard's chipped index finger touched the mouse's sensor.

Bernard stared at Estelle, his eyes wide with shock.

Estelle grabbed his left hand and pressed it against the mouse. The laptop booted up swiftly.

Soon, Amiee's voice rang out with exhilaration, "Estelle, you were right, we've got the data!"

Bernard looked at Estelle in despair, no longer resisting.

Amiee quickly started copying the data.

At that moment, another helicopter approached the rooftop, looking for a spot to land, while attacking Josiah's helicopter.

Josiah dodged and weaved in mid-air, providing Amiee with a stable environment.

Seconds later, Amiee exhaled deeply, "Estelle, it's done!"

Estelle acted swiftly, chopping down Bernard's finger to destroy the chip, then casually tossed his laptop off the rooftop.

Bernard rolled on the ground, his face ashen, attempting to kneel and beg for mercy, hoping Estelle would spare his life.

"Your mission is over!"

Estelle's voice was detached as she raised her gun and aimed at Bernard, pulling the trigger—a clean shot to the head.

Estelle's gaze was distant, and she nodded with a choke in her voice, "Yes!"

"Then go to them!" Raiden's gaze never wavered, "Join them, and finish what you all started!"

Estelle shook her head and said, "I can't find them!"

"They're not in this world; this world is an illusion. You've entered a dream, clinging to its pleasures, unwilling to awaken. Your team is getting anxious!"

Raiden spoke softly, "Only by leaving here can you return!"

"How do I leave?" Estelle's voice was hoarse.

"Kill yourself!" Raiden's voice carried a seductive power, "End your life here, and you'll escape this world. You'll find your team!"

Estelle, with tear-filled eyes, stared blankly at Raiden.
