The Ultimate Evolution

Looking at the bead in his hand, Corina felt quite distressed .

"Is this really necessary, Hill? Why don"t we just barge in instead of wasting a crystal bead worth 10,000 utility points to obtain the memory of a mere security guard? The puppet is now useless too; we can only dispose it . "

"Do you see any signs of a fight here?" asked Hill coldly .

" . . . No," replied Corina in surprise .

Hill narrowed his eyes and said, "We must come to term with the fact that the woman who defeated Boji is much stronger than us . And yet, even she dared not barge into Cyberdyne head-on . And you want us to do it? You should use your brain a little, Corina . "

The "Filth-Devouring Puppet" had taken a taxi to the beach, and after he sat on a bench there, he trembled violently from top to bottom . When the trembling reached its climax, the blood-red tumour in his head started to beat faster, and then exploded . Blood spilled out of every orifice on his head as he slowly fell into the sea .

In Los Angeles, a metropolis with tens of millions of people, hundreds of people went missing every day and dozens of floating corpses popped up from the ocean daily . They would be searched for identification or valuables . If they could not be identified, they would be cremated and that would be the end of it .

Unless someone of great importance was missing at the time or something similar to that, the police would not bother with these people who jumped into the sea to end their lives, let alone dissect them . Therefore, the secret of the puppet was almost guaranteed to get buried in the depths of the ocean .

At this time, Sheyan and Zi had successfully reached the 7th floor . According to their intel, below the 9th floor, only the three offices on the 7th floor had computers that were connected to the company"s internal network . There was little doubt that their best move right now was to paralyse the network with Dolittle"s virus to prevent their every action from being monitored .

"Room 107 . This is it," Sheyan spoke to Zi in the party channel .

Zi replied faintly, "I see it . Do you want me to do it?"

"No, I want you to stay away from me because you"re too attractive . Maybe a security guard is admiring your a.s.s through the monitor as we speak . You"ll give me away," answered Sheyan with a shrug .

Zi had a high status both in the real world and in the nightmare realm . No one would talk to her like this . The teasing caused a blush to rise on her pretty face . She gave Sheyan a fierce stare and looked like she was about to teach Sheyan a painful lesson using her Force!

Sheyan hastily appeased her with a few apologetic words and fortunately, managed to calm her down . Her chilly but embarra.s.sed expression was truly captivating . He suppressed these evil thoughts and knocked on the door of room 107 .

Someone quickly came over to open the door . He was a man with a big nose . Seeing Sheyan, he frowned .

"Can I help you?"

From the gap of the door, Sheyan could see the glow of a computer screen . In this era, LCD monitors were not yet common . The computer monitor on the table was the old-school kind that was like a box . It was very conspicuous .

With the target within sight, Sheyan smiled and asked, "Excuse me, is this Mr . Farawin"s office?"

"There"s no one called Farawin here . You"ve come to the wrong place!" The man with the big nose seemed very annoyed . He slammed the door with force .

However, the expected loud bang did not appear because Sheyan had extended his hand into the door gap at lightning speed . The anti-theft door made of steel slammed into his hand hard . The big-nosed man was stunned and his face twitched . He could feel the pain just looking at what happened .

He snarled in a deep, gruff voice, "Do you understand where this is? Leave . "

Instead of replying, Sheyan smiled and moved close to the man . Before his startled eyes, Sheyan"s knee was firmly planted on his stomach . The man"s face turned blue immediately . Before he could spill his guts out, Sheyan grabbed his hair and rotated his head 180 degrees before hitting the back of the head with the side of his palm .

If Mr . Big Nose had shown a better att.i.tude, Sheyan would not have launched that knee . He would just knock the guy unconscious .

The attention of the guards in front of the security monitors may very well be on Zi"s a.s.s like Sheyan had said because Sheyan"s action did not make the alarm go off . He managed to stick the USB flash drive into the computer in the office without any problem .

The computer virus made by Dolittle instantly started spreading . The screen suddenly went black, and then a knife appeared . It pointed towards the center of the monitor screen and stabbed towards it . A crack appeared in the center of the screen, and a simulated brush emerged from the crack . The brush wiped the screen so that it turned white bit by bit .

In a short few dozen seconds, all the computers in the building that were connected to the network began to display a similar animation . More importantly, because the security system here was connected to the building elevators, and the security system must be connected to the network database, even the elevators had been paralysed!

Sheyan stuffed the man with the big nose into a chair, pulled out the USB flash drive and went back to look for Zi . They immediately climbed up the fire escape to the 17th floor . For ordinary people, climbing from the 7th floor to the 17th floor was an arduous task, but for those two, it was something that could be done in merely dozens of seconds . The blinding pace of their movement would catch their opponent off guard .

　　***********

By this time, the two contestants who had read the guard"s memory, Corina and Hill, were ready to blend into the first floor of Cyberdyne Systems . They had begun to search for their "prey" .

Corina also had the ability to enslave familiars, so it was easy for her to control an ordinary storyline character . With the help of someone on the inside, they could achieve twice the result with half the effort .

At that moment, Corina saw a man wearing a black employee tag walk into the cafe she was sitting in . He was having an angry conversation with the person beside him . Black employee tags were worn by the lower management personnel in the company . Corina"s eyes lit up . Her finger made a beckoning motion under the table while she smiled at the man .

Corina"s fas.h.i.+on style was completely different from Zi . Zi had a style that was elegant but cold, while Corina"s was devilish . She wore purple lipstick and blue nail polish . With her upturned eyes, she exuded a dangerous charm .

So when the man saw Corina smiling at him, he couldn"t help but pause for a moment, then smile in return .

If someone were to squat down at that moment, they would see Corina"s fingernail scratching the bottom of the table so hard that it created trails after trails of sparks! In the end, the rapid sketching produced the figure of a sinister-looking devil"s head!

With a flick of her nail, a drop of blood immediately appeared on Corina"s finger . When she wiped the blood on the devil"s head, it instantly turned vivid and life-like .

At that moment, the man who was wearing a black employee tag approached with a cup of coffee .

His previous anger seemed to have completely dissipated . He politely gestured to the seat opposite Corina and asked, "Is this seat taken?"

Corina raised her eyebrows but did not speak . Her purple lips curled coquettishly as she shook her head .

The black-employee-tag man naturally sat down in the empty seat . Corina raised her cup at him like she was making a toast, flirtatious intent evident in her eyes . The man instinctively raised his own coffee cup and took a sip in response . Because the man had his full attention on Corina, he did not notice the sinister-looking ripple on the surface of his coffee -- a ripple which looked eerily similar to the drawing of a devil"s head at the bottom of the table!

At that moment, the bottom of the table was smooth and clean . There was no trace of any drawing at all .

After taking a sip of coffee, the man smiled and tried to initiate conversation, but his face suddenly stiffened . His pupils actually shattered in an instant like gla.s.s being crushed, then slowly return to their original appearance .

After a while, he waved his hand towards the back as if nothing had happened, and told his companion, "You go first, Colt . "

The subordinate could obviously see that his superior was having a romantic encounter, so of course he knew what to do . He laughed and walked away . Right after he left, the voice of the black-employee-tag man became low and monotonous .

"Master, I do not have the permission to bring people to the 17th floor . "

Corina frowned .

"What"s the highest floor you can take us to?"

"The 11th floor . That"s where the designated reception room for the use of us management staff is located . "

"Then let"s go to the 11th floor first," instructed Hill .

The three of took the elevator reserved for management level personnel . It was at that moment that Sheyan happened to insert the USB flash drive containing the virus into the computer, so a few seconds later, when those three had just reached the 8th floor, the elevator suddenly stopped moving!

The two contestants in the elevator instantly thought that they had been discovered . However, they did not panic . Hill waved his hand and a yellow paper talisman that had strange symbols on it appeared in the air . The talisman attached itself to the doors of the elevator and then started to burn . What was even more amazing was that as the talisman burned, the steel doors of the elevator started to melt like a candle!

After that, the group of three quickly stepped out of the elevator . They found that the whole floor was in an uproar, but they did not see any guards or snipers like they had expected .

The employee being controlled by Corina suddenly said, "It seems like we"re not discovered, master . It"s just a problem with the company computer network . "

Looking at the scene in front of him, Hill instantly made the most accurate judgement .

"What a timely problem! Let"s take the stairs, Corina . We must act before these guys activate their emergency plan!"

(TL: In case you couldn"t tell, all three of Hill, Corina and their friend Boji use supernatural powers and rituals from the Far East . )
