Chapter 142,A Beauty with Multiple Masks
“And so it seems like we might actually die in this room.” Vinson smiled wryly. Yet, he had no fear of
death. The word ‘fear’ did not even exist in his vocabulary. Come to think of it, it’s not too bad to die here
with Arielle by my side. “No way!” Arielle was very firm in her belief. “I can’t die yet, I still have lots to do.”
His heart sank. I was just thinking it’s nice to stay together at the face of death. Lo and behold, she’s not
even thinking about this… at all. I want to curse so badly, but I can’t. He coughed lightly. “What shall we
do now? I’ve tried opening the door, but all efforts are in vain.

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.
