Ch. 981..985: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 981-985

Chapter 981

“Maybe there will be a reminder at a certain point in time. There might be an answer on these stars,” Nicole said.

Ike and Harvey looked upward to study it carefully. “Look, there‘s the Big Dipper in the Milky Way.”

Ike pointed with his finger.

“The answer should be in the Big Dipper,” Nicole said with confidence.

“As far as I know, ancient people determine the seasons according to the position of the seven stars of the Big Dipper with the bucket handle east pointing, indicating the arrival of spring, the bucket handle south pointing, the arrival of summer, the bucket handle west pointing, fall harvest, the bucket handle north pointing, all things hide in the winter. It is likely that this level was made using this theory because few people abroad know about it, and it is evident that the owner of this experience center is a local.”

“Makes sense. Let‘s study it.” Harvey looked up with a serious face.

The Milky Way disappeared all of a sudden, and the time compass reappeared. Ten minutes had passed, and they would fail if they had not completed the level in another twenty minutes.

“Let‘s all take a closer look,” Nicole said.

The Milky Way reappeared, and the three of them concentrated on studying the mysteries of the Big Dipper. After a long while of examination, Nicole found that there was a bucket handle in the south, east, north, and west, and it seemed to be necessary to choose one of these four bucket handles.

“Do you see anything, Mr. Ellison?” Ike did not understand the theory of the ancients, so he could not read it.

Harvey took a deep breath, then spoke with a thoughtful look.

“According to my analysis , the seven stars of the Big Dipper are brighter in the south, and the passage should be the mirror door that the south finger of the bucket handle points to.”

He did not forget to look to Nicole for confirmation.

” What do you think, Nicole?”

“I also think it‘s the mirror door pointed to by the southern finger of the bucket handle.”

Harvey instantly looked up at Ike cockily.

“Am I right?”

“But I see it differently than you do. I didn‘t think that when I saw that bright south finger of the bucket handle; I think this level is designed according to the actual season outside. Now it is summer outside, so the mirror door pointed by the south finger of the bucket handle should be the passage through the level,” Nicole said.

“Nicole has a point, too.” Harvey knew for sure that Nicole‘s analysis was more accurate. “Then let‘s go into that mirrored door, shall we?” Ike looked at the two of them.

“Okay.” Nicole led the way in.

As they came in front of the mirror door, Nicole looked back at them.

“Are you guys sure you want to come in with me?”

The two of them nodded and looked at Nicole with serious faces.

“Good.” Nicole pushed open the door and stepped inside. Inside was dark, and there was a glimmer of light gradually becoming visible as they went further. Nicole felt relieved at the sight of the light; she knew the next level must be ahead. Sure enough, as they walked out, they came to the second level.

“Yes! We‘re through.” Harvey and Ike happily raised their thumbs at Nicole.

“Don‘t get too happy too soon. There is a second level waiting for us.” Nicole looked at the level in front of her and had no joy to speak of. She really could not understand why she agreed to Ike earlier.

“Let‘s go and see what‘s on the second level.” Nicole remained at the front.

The second level was brightly lit, so it did not feel so scary. The three of them stood in an empty space where there was no equipment, no hints, not even a door. “Where‘s the door? How come there‘s nothing there?” Harvey looked around and saw nothing.

“This level is kind of fun.” Nicole looked around with interest. It would be a waste of time for her if there was no difficulty in the game.

“What do you mean? How do you get through with nothing?” Harvey looked at Nicole.

“Maybe there‘s everything here. We just can‘t see it,” Nicole said.

Chapter 982

“Miss Riddle has a point. Some things just can‘t be seen, but that doesn‘t mean they don‘t exist.” Ike agreed with what Nicole said.

“Feel the surrounding walls,” Nicole said. The three split up and felt the walls. As the wall was also white, it was impossible to tell what was in the walls by just looking with the naked eye. So they could find clues by touching them.

Nicole gently pressed the wall, and a layer of stairs appeared out of thin air in front of her. She stepped on it and pressed again at the top. Then there was another layer of stairs. She had found the pattern and continued doing it. Before long, she had reached a height of about one and a half floors.

Meanwhile, Ike also found on his side the same stairs that Nicole had found.

“You‘re all up there. What can I do?” Harvey looked up at the two of them above.

“You keep looking for clues down there,” Nicole said.

Nicole reached up and came into contact with a square brick that sank in. She looked inside and saw a glowing object. She pressed it, and a beam of light shot out at the brick in front of Ike.

“Put your hand on the brick with the light spot,” Nicole shouted to Ike.

Ike put his hand on the brick, as Nicole said, and inside was a prism mirror. He adjusted the angle of the prism and the beam was refracted to the wall in the middle.

“See there? We need to get there,” Ike said to Nicole.

Nicole could not take her hand off now, or the beam would disappear. So she looked down at Harvey.

“See if there are any clues on the ground, Harvey.” Harvey looked carefully at the ground. “There‘s nothing.”

“There‘s nothing?” Nicole fell into thought.

“There‘s a square tile with a pattern here!” Harvey shouted.

“Step on it,” Nicole instructed.

Harvey stepped on it, and the bricks fell off. He lost his balance and fell to the ground, one foot stuck into the hole left by the brick. Nicole and Ike were shocked, and both thought Harvey had injured his foot.

“Are you alright , Harvey ?” Nicole asked nervously and was about to get down from above to check on him.

“I‘m fine. No need to come down.” He calmed himself down, slowly pulled his right foot out, and stood back up.

A small trap scared the daylights out of Harvey and Ike. Nicole was surprised but not frightened.

“Stop stepping on the patterned square tiles. Check if there are other styles of square tiles?” Nicole said.

Harvey looked ahead. “There , in front of the patterned brick, is a round brick.”

“Don‘t you step on it this time? Try pressing it with your hand.”

Harvey went over and squatted down, pressed hard with his hand, and the square tile rose from the floor to a height.

“Find the same pattern and put your hand on it, then walk over to the square tile the beam is shining on and press it,” Nicole said.

Harvey followed Nicole‘s instruction and pressed on the tile that formed an S–shaped passage below. He came under the square tile that the beam was shining on, and with a gentle press, a door appeared out of thin air on the white, gapless wall.

Harvey was going to open the door, and surprisingly, saw a four–digit combination on it.

“There‘s a four–digit combination lock.”

Ike observed for a while and shouted to Harvey, “How much time did it take us to get from the first level to here?

Harvey glanced at his watch. “Twenty minutes and thirty four seconds.”

“Try entering that number!” Ike shouted.

Harvey entered the numbers and pressed, but the combination lock did not open. “The code isn‘t right.”

 

Chapter 983

"Ike, how many floors do you have over there?" Nicole asked.

"My side has eight floors."

"Harvey, how many stone pillars do you have over there in total?"

"Fifteen."

"Try 6815," Nicole said, looking at Harvey.

Harvey keyed the numbers in and pressed, then the door lock opened with a click.

"The door is open.Come on down."

Harvey pushed open the door and walked out first while Nicole and Ike followed in tandem.

"This experience center is really kind of fun.I'm liking it here."

Harvey suddenly got excited and walked in front eagerly.

They had arrived at the third level, with paintball guns placed on both sides and a voice announcement ringing out all of a sudden."Welcome to the third level, 'Shoot or Die" Players need to wear protective equipment and carry weapons before entering."

Nicole looked at the equipment and weaponry, skillfully put them on, and took up the weapon.She then looked at the two of them, who were struggling to put on the protective gear.

"You guys take your time.I'm going in to check it out."

With that, Nicole headed inside.

"Nicole, aren't you going to wait for us?" Harvey asked, worried that she could not handle the situation on her own.

"You guys are too slow." Nicole continued moving in.иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σм

There were many covers inside.

Nicole came behind one to observe the situation on the other side.

After a long while, she still did not hear or see any movement, so she moved forward quietly.Then she heard a rustle of footsteps behind her.She drew her weapon and aimed it back behind her.

"Don't shoot.It's me," Harvey said in a whisper.

"What's up ahead?" Harvey asked Nicole.

"It's not clear.It's all quiet.I suggest you two move back to back in one place in case the enemy sneaks up on you." Nicole helped them out with their moves.

Harvey and Ike looked at each other.

"No problem."

"What do we do now?" Ike asked.

"See that cover-up ahead? You two quietly feel your way over," Nicole said.

"Okay."

Making a gesture, the two men felt their way to the cover diagonally opposite Nicole.

After watching them both arrive safely, Nicole made a forward gesture, and the three of them advanced in two directions.

Suddenly there were paintballs shot at them, and Nicole quickly ducked.She then gestured to Harvey to hold his hat up with his gun, which Harvey did.

Nicole saw the timing and found the exact spot where the shot was fired and got rid of the shooter.

With one obstacle out of the way, they could now move forward.

Nicole looked at the cover slightly up ahead and slid up behind it with a lie slide, and the paintballs missed her.

Harvey and Ike were stunned as they watched Nicole perform the action so skillfully.They did not expect Nicole to be that good.

"I will cover.You guys run forward fast," Nicole said to them.She took out a smoke grenade and threw it while telling them to run and open fire at the enemy.

The scene was filled with the sound of gunfire from both sides in a fierce battle.

After Harvey and Ike came behind the cover, they also fired at the opposite side, taking out two people in the chaos.

If counting the ones Nicole had taken out, their team had taken out six people.

"How much farther is the base camp up ahead, Nicole?" Harvey asked.

Chapter 984

"We've gone about ten meters.This is an indoor game; this place shouldn't be very large.I reckon the other side's base camp is another twenty meters or so up ahead." Nicole said as she looked back.

Thanks to Nicole, Harvey and Ike could make it this far, which was something they definitely could not achieve by themselves.

"You guys continue to fire down there while I'm going to find a high ground." Nicole left at once.

"Hey, where are you going?" Harvey called out as Nicole went, but it was to no avail.

Nicole came to slightly higher ground with a good view of the entire area under the opponent's fire.To her surprise, there was a large area up ahead.

Because there was a fog made of dry ice, it was not possible to see the exact situation.Her paintball gun could not snipe, so she could only shoot at the nearby enemies, then return to the ground.

Just as she was about to push forward again, Nicole heard the sound of footsteps.

"Why did they come up so fast?"

As the footsteps got closer, Nicole put her gun behind her back.The next second, a person wearing enemy gear came into view.

With no hesitation, she slammed the enemy to the ground, taking the enemy out by pulling off the blood bar on his body.

Nicole released him and was ready to move forward when the man attacked Nicole from behind again.She sensed it and subdued him again with a reverse takedown.

"You're dead.No more attacks." Nicole kindly reminded him.

"Who said I was dead?"

The man sounded icy and did not look like he was the staff of the experience center.Just as Nicole was distracted, the man broke free of Nicole's grip and took out his dagger to thrust at Nicole again.She could see that he was holding an actual knife, and after meeting his eyes, she realized that this man was an assassin.

Nicole quickly dodged and was not hurt.She then kicked away the attacker's dagger, grabbed his wrist, and threw him to the ground.

The man resisted, so Nicole broke his wrist.

The scream of the man attracted fire from the other side.

Nicole hurriedly hid under the cover, stepped on the assassin's wrist, and asked, "Who sent you? How many of you have come?"

The assassin did not answer, and Nicole stepped harder on his wrist.He grimaced in pain.

"All I know is to get rid of you, nothing else." The man did not look like he was lying, so she lifted her foot.

"Get out of here, or I will make sure you die here."иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σм

The assassin scrambled to his feet and ran outside.

Nicole watched on and found that he did not look at all like a real assassin.She looked back, trying to locate Harvey and Ike, but they were nowhere to be seen.

Nicole knew that there might be other dangerous people in the venue and decisively moved back to find Harvey and Ike.

There were still paintballs coming from the front, so Nicole had to deal with them first before going to Harvey and Ike.She got serious by grabbing her paintball gun and sprinting forward with a burst of energy, perfectly dodging all the paintballs shot at her and clearing the obstacles in front of her with a few shots.

Harvey and Ike, still unaware of what was going on, remained prostrate as they moved forward.

Suddenly, a figure came from a distance toward Ike.

The two of them picked up their guns and shot at the incoming man.But when the man did not fall, Harvey wondered.

"He has been shot multiple times. Why is he still coming forward?"

"I don't know.What should we do?" Ike asked.

"Run, or when he comes over, we both die."

 

Chapter 985

Another figure blocked their way, reaching for Harvey.Having learned some self-defense techniques, Harvey swiftly dodged the opponent's grabbing hand.But the opponent did not stop his attack.

After missing his target, the opponent continued to charge at him.

Harvey quickly raised his paintball gun and shot at the man.

As the assassin was hit and screamed in pain, Ike dragged Harvey back and ran.

Nicole came from behind just in time to meet them.

"Are you guys okay?"

"We're fine.Just that one opponent was hit but didn't die.Instead, he continued to attack us."

Nicole immediately knew what had happened and pointed to the way they came.

"You guys go back to the second level and call the staff to take you out."

The two men looked at Nicole in puzzlement, wondering why they needed to call the staff while they were still in the game.Nicole saw the bewilderment on Harvey's face, but there was no time to explain, as the assassin was catching up.

"Don't ask.Just do as I say."

She pushed them away and then hid.

One assassin saw that there was no one there and thought they were hiding, so he slowed down his steps to search carefully.

Nicole saw the right moment to strike and lock the throat of the assassin, thinking of taking him out at once.But since this was an entertainment outlet, she did not kill him but just kicked him in the knee.

The assassin's moan of pain was drawing the other assassins’ attention.

Not long after, several people gathered around, but they did not find Nicole anywhere but their mate on the ground.

The assassins started looking around for Nicole, unaware that she was right overhead and had a full view of their actions.She used her paintball gun and aimed a shot at an assassin's temple, knocking him out to the ground.

Hearing gunfire, the other assassins looked up and then quickly went after Nicole, who leaped from one platform to the next, and the assassins fell short of capturing her.

Nicole raised her paintball gun and continued to fire at the assassin.

Since it was not a real gun and not hitting the vital parts, the regularly trained assassins were unharmed.

Nicole aimed at the two assassins and hit them in the vital parts, and they fell to their knees and cried out in pain.She took this opportunity to leap and came in front of them.

"Who sent you?"

She had to find out the mastermind, or the risk would always follow her and affect everything.

The assassins were tight-lipped, refusing to divulge any information, thinking Nicole could do nothing with them.

Nicole picked up a dagger on the ground and stabbed it into an assassin's leg.

"Speak!" The assassin gritted his teeth and held on.

"You have guts.I will see how long you can hold out."

Nicole twisted the dagger in his leg slightly, and the assassin screamed in pain.

"I will tell you.It's Franco."

"Where is he?"иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σм

Before Nicole could finish her question, another assassin slashed at her from behind.She dodged out of the way and disappeared again in a flash.

The assassin kept looking around for her.

Nicole already knew who had sent them, so there was no need to hold back anymore.

She picked up a steel rod on the ground and came out.

When the assassins saw her, they clutched their daggers and charged at her.

She calmly held the steel rod and waited for them to come.

The next second, her steel rod and the daggers collided with sparks flying all over the place as Nicole and the assassins fought ina melee.
