Chapter 213 Hands in the Dark
"Norma, I have inserted the USB drive into the other party's host."

Aki said to Norma through the headset, and the pleasant female voice in the headset replied coldly:

"Received, locating the system..."

The moment the USB flash drive was inserted into the host, Norma had already accurately located the position of the host through the crawler in the USB flash drive and locked all the hosts in the local area network.

"I have obtained the permissions for all surveillance cameras and am monitoring everyone's actions for you. Currently, no one is approaching your room, so you can rest assured for now. This computer has a deeply encrypted subsystem, and it will take some time to break through the encryption system firewall. Please be patient."

"it is good."

Hearing Norma say that she had taken control of the camera, Aki finally let go and breathed a sigh of relief. It was only then that she noticed that her face and body were already black. Fortunately, she crawled on her knees, and the soles of her shoes were not dirty, so she did not leave footprints on the floor.

At this point, the mission is already more than half completed. So far, Aki's entire mission process can be said to be quite smooth, and he has arrived at the target location smoothly without encountering any obstacles.

All she had to do next was wait for Norma to break through the computer's firewall and retrieve all the information from the computer, then she could leave with peace of mind.

But obviously things can't always go so smoothly. Just when Aki wanted to lean back somewhere to rest, Norma's reminder voice suddenly sounded in the earphone.

"Attention, Executive Specialist Shutoku Aki, someone is approaching your location."

Aki was stunned for a moment, then asked calmly, "Norma, I need the detailed number of people on the other side."

"Reporting to you now, the target number: 1."

Hearing that there was only one person on the other side, Aki immediately calmed down. She gathered her hair and whispered into the headset: "Norma, please remind me when the other party is about to arrive."

"Received the command. The other party is currently about 30 meters away from you and is expected to arrive in 40 seconds."

After receiving the reply, Aki first walked to the middle of the office and looked around the room carefully. Then a voice came from the headset: "The opponent is about 20 meters away from you. It is estimated that he will arrive in 25 seconds. Please take cover or evacuate."

"I understand." Aki said, closing her eyes and quickly recalling every frame she had just seen in her mind.

"The enemy is about 5 meters away from you. It is estimated that they will arrive in 5 seconds. Time is running out. Please hide immediately."

"Got it. Don't worry, Norma. I know what I am doing."

The moment the mechanical twisting sound was heard at the door, Aki's beautiful eyes opened immediately. The moment she opened her eyes, her brown-gray pupils suddenly turned golden, as if there was a golden flame burning in them. The man with glasses who pushed the door open also met Aki's eyes at this moment. The invisible field opened instantly.

At this moment, time seemed to be paused, because both of them stood there motionless, looking at each other.

But the next moment, the man with glasses turned around and locked the door of the room, as if he had seen nothing. In front of Aki's gaze, he walked to the boss chair behind the desk as if nothing had happened, whistling leisurely.

Aki secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that her words had taken effect. At this moment, in the eyes of the man with glasses, she was completely invisible, and he ignored the USB flash drive on the host and the screen of data transfer on the monitor.

This is her Word Spirit, Word Spirit Senra, a very rare Word Spirit. The effect of this Word Spirit is not a Word Spirit that can make you invisible or deceive your vision, but a purely spiritual Word Spirit. The effect is that you can control the opponent's mind with your eyes, write what you think in your mind into the opponent's mind, and even induce or force the opponent to see any scene.

At a glance, everything is covered.

The reason why she took the time to observe the entire structure of the room was to use her words to control the person who entered the room, deceive his mind, and make his brain mistakenly believe that he was seeing a clean and empty room.

Apparently she had done it. The other party had successfully entered the illusion she had created. Even when facing the screen of files being transferred on the monitor, it seemed as if he could not see it.

However, although she has successfully controlled the other party so far, Aki does not dare to slack off. She has not used the Word Spirit many times, and her control over the Word Spirit is not yet proficient.

The reason was that she couldn't practice her Word Spirit openly like Ye Sheng did. Not many people even knew that she had a Word Spirit.

So far, the only people in the entire Kassel Academy who know that she has the power of words are the principal Angers, the vice-principal Night Watchman, and her mentor Professor Mance, among others.

Among her classmates, she only told a few people, such as Ye Sheng and Selma, whom she had known for a long time, that she had awakened her spirit of words.

It was the principal Angers who suggested that she conceal her Word Spirit. Because Sen Luo was actually a Word Spirit of the White King, which meant that her Dragon bloodline might be mixed with the White King's bloodline. If the other school directors, especially Frost, the school representative of the Gattuso family, knew that she might be a mixed-blood of the White King's bloodline, she would probably no longer have a place in the academy.

Aki took a deep breath, her golden eyes still fixed on the man with glasses.

The man with glasses put his legs on the desk as if no one was around, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, and smoked one. Then a phone call came in, and he answered the phone casually with a cigarette in his mouth. Aki wanted to listen carefully to the content of the call, but the man with glasses seemed to be speaking some kind of Portuguese dialect. Aki tried to listen for a long time but couldn't understand what the man with glasses said, so he had to give up, walked to the desk, and took a look at the progress bar on the monitor.

The file copying progress has reached 80%. If she waits another minute or two, she will be able to unplug the USB drive and get out of here.

The man with glasses said a few words incoherently and then hung up the phone. He then opened a drawer and rummaged through something inside. He then took out a brown paper bag.

Aki didn't care about it at first, but the logo on the lacquer mouth that she accidentally caught a glimpse of made her suddenly stunned. She felt as if she had seen this logo somewhere before.

But before she could think about it, Norma's voice sounded again in the headset:

"Attention, Executive Specialist Shude Aki, several people are approaching your location. Target number: 5 people, about 30 meters away from you, estimated to arrive in 40 seconds."

When Aki heard Norma's sudden reminder in the earphone, he was immediately stunned.

Although her Word Spirit, Senluo, was almost a bug in one-on-one combat, it did not have the ability to control many enemies at once. Although with her physical fitness, it was not difficult to knock down a few people without bloodline, this was after all in the enemy's lair, and the sound of fighting would inevitably attract more people. And her only escape route was the ventilation duct above her head.

Aki glanced at the progress bar on the monitor. It was 96%, with about 20 seconds left.

The data copy is about to be completed...she has to...take a gamble!
"Attention, several people are approaching your location. Target number: 5 people, about 20 meters away from you, estimated to arrive in 25 seconds."

"Attention, several people are approaching your location. Target number: 5 people, about 10 meters away from you, estimated to arrive in 15 seconds."

"Attention, several people are approaching your location. Target number: 5 people, about 5 meters away from you, estimated to arrive in 5 seconds."

The reminders in the headset became more and more urgent. Aki watched the slowly advancing progress bar. Finally, when the distance was about 2 meters, the monitor showed that the transmission was completed.

Aki immediately bent down and pulled out the USB drive, then squatted down to gather strength, jumped up, and reached the entrance of the ventilation duct.

But before she could curl her legs into the pipe, the door was suddenly opened, and the guard who came in saw two slender thighs curled into the pipe.

"who?"

The guards pulled out their guns at the same time. Their guns were equipped with laser sights, and the red dots of light were all aimed at the entrance of the ventilation duct. But before they could shoot, one of the guards suddenly turned around and pointed the gun at his teammates.

The sound of gunfire was as rhythmic as the elegant sliding of piano keys, interspersed with the Portuguese words "Are you crazy?" This was of course Aki's masterpiece. In the instant just now, she immediately switched a control target, causing one of the guards to regard his teammates as enemies.

But apparently not everyone was distracted by this suddenly crazy guard, and several guards quickly reacted and fired intensive fire at the ventilation duct on the ceiling. But Aki had already taken a step ahead and fled out of the ventilation duct in this room.

It was not until this moment that the man with glasses who had been controlled by Aki came to his senses belatedly. He looked at the messy office filled with smoke and dust, not knowing what had happened.

"Warning, an intruder has broken in and is now hiding in the ventilation duct. I repeat, warning, an intruder has broken in and is now hiding in the ventilation duct." A guard picked up the walkie-talkie on his chest and reported.

Aki moved quickly in the pipe. She was like an agile snake, swimming forward continuously in the narrow pipe. Her joints seemed to have completely softened, and she did not hesitate at all when touching the extremely narrow welding points.

She unplugged the headset and put it in her bag. There was no time to follow Norma's instructions and move slowly. The other party was also looking for her position. They might even get angry and shoot at every ventilation duct with a gun. Maybe even the entrance she came from had been blocked.

She could only keep crawling, crawling forward, praying that she could leave this place safely.

In the darkness, something suddenly grabbed her ankle.

Aki was startled. The enemy had actually caught up with her? So fast? She quickly reached into her arms with her dirty hands, grasped the handle of the Beretta pistol, and put her index finger on the trigger.

The magazine was filled with Frigga bullets, which would not kill anyone. However, there was a risk of ricochets in the narrow ventilation duct. However, even if there was a ricochet, she would have to fight to the death.

But before she could draw her gun and shoot, a cold female voice that she had never heard before called out her name in Chinese.

Her real name.

"Don't shoot, Shude Aki," the voice said, "I'm here to help you."
