That night, a curfew was imposed on the staff dormitories. Brenda also requested that the professors remain in their rooms and not go out after 8 pm.
The professors had a lot to gripe about it.
They all looked at Brenda.
“Are you treating us as prisoners? This is too much!”
“We are your targets of protection, not your targets of surveillance! The police are too
much!”
“What makes you think you can stop us from going out after eight o’clock? Never mind that you’re stopping us from carrying out our experiments at night, but you’re even starting to dictate what we can and cannot do tonight? This is too much!”
The professors protested but the iron-fisted Brenda still forced them to stay in their rooms. When the professors were asked to return to their rooms, they dished out tough talk. “Just you wait! I’m definitely going to report you tomorrow! You people shouldn’t be here at all!”
Brenda had already become immune to such words by now. She replied, “Okay, if nothing goes wrong tonight as well, I’ll get out of here by myself tomorrow.”
Her reply shut up all the professors.
Seeing that they weren’t talking anymore, Brenda left.
More than a dozen SWAT officers were protecting the staff dormitories.
Aaron said, “With this, even a housefly can forget about getting in there, right?”
Brenda stroked her chin. “Yeah, under such circumstances, it is impossible for Barbarian to head there again! Aaron, get our men to follow me to the laboratory building!”
Aaron followed behind her. He looked at Nora curiously and asked, “Captain Brenda, are that student’s skills good enough? Barbarian has a hacker with him, so surely we can’t rely on a student here, right…?”
Brenda: “…”
She said to Aaron, “Don’t worry.”
Aaron then asked, “By the way, Captain Brenda, didn’t you work with Anti when you went to the US? I remember Anti once revealed that she’s Q, and Marcus also used to admire the hackers Q and Y the most. Is Q really that amazing?”

Nora listened to their conversation and followed behind the two with a smile as they walked to the laboratory building together.
She had already encrypted the surveillance camera system at the staff dormitories. No hacker-including even Y-would be able to breach it.
Thus, Nora wanted to go with Brenda to arrest Barbarian.
Brenda was worried about her, though. “Are you really going to the lab?”
Nora nodded. “Yeah.”
Brenda was still very worried. “You’re weak and powerless, so you have to keep yourself well-hidden, okay? Don’t let Barbarian catch
you!”
