Chapter 710: Chapter 709: The Three Great Hackers Met the Two, Culminating Perfectly Chapter 710: Chapter 709: The Three Great Hackers Met the Two, Culminating Perfectly Perhaps uncomfortable under Lu Mian’s scrutiny, Lucy slightly lowered her head and used her fringe to cover her eyes.
She nodded slightly, in a tacit agreement.
The pebble in Lu Mian’s hand paused for a moment; she no longer continued to squat and lazily stood up, casually tossing the pebble into the distance.
Sun Hui muttered as if he had a sudden revelation, “I am luckier than my brother.
In my lifetime, I have actually met two of the top three hackers.”
One was Number Thirteen and the other was H.
He felt his life was complete.
It didn’t seem so important anymore whether he met Seven or not.
The others also nodded in agreement.
“Who would have thought that a top hacker would be a girl, and such a young and cute one at that?
“I always thought that hackers were dead fat otakus confined to their homes.
This completely overturns my imagination of hackers!” They all thought Xiao Qimo was Number Thirteen.
“To reach the top tier, she must be very rich, right?
With her own capability and funds, she could do anything goodaEUR”why on earth choose to do such antisocial activities!”
While they discussed, they sighed in awe.
Lu Mian glanced at these people without saying a word.
After she stood up, her eyes and brows carried a bit more mischief and rebelliousness, and her voice was lazily casual.
“When did you come to the office?”
The office’s defenses were almost impregnable, hardly a fly could get in.
If Lucy had broken in, the office would not have failed to detect it.
“Me?” Lucy was quite honest at this point.
Whatever Lu Mian asked, she answered, seemingly earnestly helping Lu Mian to untangle her questions and answers.
“Lu Mian, if you want to infiltrate a place, the best time is not when the defenses are down, but…
when there are no defenses.”
Lucy blinked, “I knew in advance that the office would be set up in this manor.
At that time, I had already infiltrated here without you all noticing.
It was all to use the special small team to find Number Thirteen.”
As she said the last sentence, she clenched her teeth and shot Xiao Qimo a look.
Xiao Qimo accepted this emotionlessly, the blame, he was more than willing to shoulder.
Lu Mian smiled faintly.
Lucy had nearly answered all her questions, and everything seemed reasonable, with no holes to poke.
Wa Zhiqi, looking at her almost-smiling expression, curiously asked, “Miss Lu, what’s the matter?
“No.” Lu Mian tilted her head with an air of nonchalance, her posture careless, “I’m just feeling quite sentimental.”
In fact, her interest had waned greatly.
Daine waved his hand, “Take her away and guard her strictly.
Remember, we need her alive.”
Daine’s subordinates were about to take Lucy away.
The words “we need her alive” implied that Lucy’s fate would be far from over.
The discovery of hacker H, who was on the same side as those people, was like seeing the color of the opponent’s underwear; it was a bottom-line issue.
How could they not interrogate her thoroughly?
Perhaps they would soon find the hideout of the mastermind behind the scenes.
Lucy was roughly lifted by two guards, touching her wounds, and her young, loli-like face contorted for a moment.
The downfall of a hacker of such standing was quite lamentable.
Suddenly, Lucy shouted, “Wait, I would like to speak with Lu Mian alone for a moment, may I?”
Xiao Qimo protectively moved Lu Mian behind him.
After a moment’s thought, Lu Mian pressed down his arm, “It’s fine, she can’t hurt me.”
She gave the man a reassuring look, and Xiao Qimo checked several times before he left with a group of people, leaving only two guards not far away.
Now, only Lucy and Lu Mian were left.
“Lu Mian, I really envy you,” Lucy said, her voice sweet and calm.
Lu Mian hung her head, her toes absently poking at the ground, “Really?”
“You’ve made so many mistakes, done so many things to hurt the New World Laboratory, and countless times touched the boss’s bottom line, but he…
still forgives you, still wants to take you back.”
Lu Mian roughly understood, the boss Lucy was referring to must be the mastermind behind the laboratory.
During her days kidnapped in the laboratory, she had never seen the boss, only aware of his existence.
This illegal laboratory was named “New World”; did it mean a new world?
“The villain who ruined my life, what right does he have to ‘forgive’ me?” Lu Mian laughed coldly.
Lucy suddenly became agitated, though her hands were tied and she was in a dilemma, she spoke fervently on this matter.
“You don’t understand!
The boss is undertaking a great cause for the benefit of all humanity, the pursuit of his life!
Great causes always come with sacrifices, minor sacrifices for great achievements, isn’t that how it should be?”
“Lu Mian, you’re the beneficiary, you have no right to oppose the boss!”
Lu Mian found this absurd, and rolled her eyes.
“If you just want to say that, I don’t want to listen.”
Lu Mian, you are the perfect work created by the boss, the only one who can successfully travel through the dimensional tunnel without wearing protective armor.
Look at you now, you can do everything, you’re so powerful, enjoying envy and admiration from countless people, shining in the spotlight.
If you want, you can learn more, become more perfect!
All of this, the boss has given to you, why do you still have to oppose him?”
“…” Lu Mian tucked a stray hair behind her ear.
So, was my brain grown for nothing?
So, surviving in the magnetic tunnel without protective armor was the credit of that crappy boss?
The life she wanted was never about being perfect.
If possible, she would rather be an ordinary person.
Loved by parents, surrounded by a handful of good friends, getting neither high nor low grades, attending an average university, living a neither great nor terrible life.
Lu Mian took a deep breath, “Do you believe that if I go back to the laboratory, I’ll immediately become a specimen under his control, becoming the foundation stone for his research journey?”
Lucy laughed, “If you have such awareness, that’s even better.
It’s your honor, all of humanity will remember you.”
“…” Lu Mian gave a rare thumbs-up, “Your boss is really something.”
World-class brainwashing sales skills.
What kind of person must they be, for their values to be shattered ?
She felt a chill in her heart.
This dangerous person must not be kept!
“Are you done talking?” Lu Mian didn’t want to hear anymore, and turned to leave.
The guards waiting nearby were ready to suppress Lucy.
As Lucy passed by Lu Mian, she revealed a very strange smile, “Lu Mian, you’ll change your mind.
If even parents can abandon you, who else will really care about you?
Only the laboratory will take you in, only there, that’s your real home…”
Lucy passed by Lu Mian, and as she left, Lu Mian suddenly spoke out.
