“There’s a path over there,’ Romeo pointed to a door on the right.
Mirabella scanned the area with her detector. Finding no cameras or bugs, she followed Romeo into the room.
Ordinarily, such a room would be a lounge or an office.
But here, it was a laboratory.
The faint smell of blood lingered in the air. Mirabella sprayed a luminous substance, revealing glowing spots on the floor.
This indicated that a lot of blood had been spilled here.
The glow seemed to protest past atrocities silently.
Could the master have been conducting human experiments here?
Impossible…
At this level, what tasks would still require the master’s personal attention?
What kind of experiments had been conducted in this place by its owner? Why were there so many bloodstains on the floor? Wasn’t this supposed to be a private residence? If one wanted to conduct gruesome experiments, wouldn’t there be other places more suitable?
“These two computers are used the most frequently, Romeo said as he pulled out his smartphone to scan the seven or eight computers around them. “Shall we each take one and see who cracks it first?”
Mirabella was surprised by the scanning software on his phone, but she chuckled upon hearing his challenge.
“Sure”
The two of them sat shoulder to shoulder once more, their fingers flying over the keyboards.
The initial task was to hack into the system, which was a piece of cake for them.
They had expected to effortlessly break through the system like before, but the firewalls on these two computers were more formidable than anticipated.
“If the owner of this place is really Carol, I think she’s quite clever. At least she knows how to set up her own firewall” Mirabella said as she continued to type.
Unfortunately, even the most robust firewall would eventually crumble before her.It took Mirabella less than ten seconds to bypass the firewall and gain access to the system. However, the computer screen was blank, most likely due to manual deletion.
She then began to recover the data, and after a while, she found a hidden file that took up a whopping 6GB of memory.
She connected her phone to the computer, intending to take the file back for further analysis. However, a red warning popped up on the screen.
“Please answer three questions.”
“Friendly reminder, If one question is answered incorrectly, the file will be automatically deleted within three seconds, and an alarm will sound.”
“What is his full name?”
Mirabella was speechless.
What kind of question was this?
She only had ten seconds to answer, and in the countdown, she could only type: Clark.
Surprisingly, it was the correct answer…
Could the question have been set by Carol?
Wasn’t she afraid that the person who came would be someone else? What if they couldn’t answer the question? Would the alarm attract everyone in the area, leading to their capture?
“When was we getting together?”
Seeing this question, Mirabella rolled her eyes.The screen displayed a countdown, “Ten, nine, eight, seven…”
Mirabella quickly thought back to what Clark had told her. He said that Carol had disappeared for a year.
Before that, they had dated for a year. Clark had once mentioned that the day they started dating was a holiday, and the place was crowded. He had plucked up the courage to ask her out to the most beautiful amusement park in Summerfield. That day, even the grand fireworks couldn’t compare to her radiant smile.
Mirabella turned to Romeo, “When does the amusement park have fireworks?”
“On the first day of every month.”
“So, it’s October 1st?”
It was indeed…
If it weren’t for Clark’s previous conversation with her, they would have been trapped there today.
“When is his birthday?”
Mirabella was speechless again.
During the countdown, she swiftly dialed David on her smartphone.
Hans’ stern schedule was nerve-wracking. Chasel often had special assignments that made phone calls inconvenient, and her parents were already fast asleep at this hour. The only one she could rely on now… was the night owl, David.
“Huh?” David was flabbergasted, thinking he had misheard.
“Speak up.”
Only four seconds she was left.
“It’s Singles Day, November 11th, but Bella, why are you suddenly asking about this…”
Mirabella promptly hung up, typed in 1111, and got the correct answer.
The data package began to download automatically. Mirabella breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Romeo next to her.
His side profile was flawless, his slender fingers tapped on the keyboard, and his bright eyes were beautiful.
Soon, the defensive program on the computer was rewritten, and the data package was downloading smoothly.
Mirabella noticed the name of his downloaded package: Experiment Data.
So, what was she downloading?It didnt even have a name, just an C to represent.
Cc?
Could it be a memory of Clark and Carol’s past?
Or does it imply anything else?
Soon, the data package was downloaded, and a line of text popped up on the screen, All data will be destroyed in 10 seconds, countdown 10, 9, 8, 7…
Mirabella watched it count down second by second until the screen displayed, Destruction complete.
She then stood up and said, “Let’s go.”
The two had just stepped out of the icy private residence. The stone door behind them hadn’t closed yet when countless hidden weapons came flying over.
“Watch out.” Romeo was agile, blocking many of the hidden weapons for the girl in an instant.
In the narrow stone path, they were in a stark contrast to the dark crowd opposite them.
Standing at the forefront of the crowd was an awe-inspiring old man, his aura filled with a sharp chill.
He had at least thirty subordinates behind him, clearly targeting Mirabella and Romeo.
The commanding old man spoke with a powerful and domineering tone, “Who sent you? And how did you get in?”
The rain of hidden weapons continued, and Mirabella kicked one after another, which were easily blocked by the old man at the forefront.The old quy was quite agile.
She suddenly thought of that old man in Florida, who probably belonged to the same group.
When the rain of hidden weapons stopped, the old man signaled his men. The thirty or so people rushed towards Romeo and Mirabella, and some even barged into the master’s private quarters.
Within a minute, someone ran up to the old man and reported, “Mathew, there’s a lab inside. All the computers in the lab are displaying four words: Destruction complete.”
Mathew revealed a terrifying look, coldly staring at the fighting man and woman, his tone as if he wanted to tear them apart, “What did you destroy?”
Who sent them to do that?
Was that… Carol?
In this place, apart from Carol, not even the highest-ranking elders were allowed in.
In the midst of the fight, Mirabella’s silver key fell to the ground. Everyone who saw the key on the ground was shocked, their faces changing.
This was Carol’s “key card”, a symbol of her identity! How on earth did it end up in this girl’s hand?
Mirabella effortlessly flicked the key into the air, catching it with a swift movement before continuing to deal with the dangers surrounding her.
Could she be Carol? She had an agile form and skillful moves. Despite the girl’s clear eyes that didn’t resemble Carol’s, Mathew took a cautious step forward.
