I Have A Super USB Drive - Chapter 393

Chapter 393: Mistake

The arrogance in her eyes was not one of condescension nor tyranny but simply the gaze of someone looking down from above.

Yes, it was a kind of looking down, like a human being looking down on an ant. No matter what the ant did, even if it could lift things fifty times its own weight, it was nothing more than an ant in the eyes of humans.

At this moment, Annie could truly sense that this little girl was looking down at the two of them as if they were ants.

“Is there no one left in Blackwatch Corporation, so they sent a little girl to catch us?”

Danny said unhappily, “Or is your father some big shot in this company?”

“Fool.”

The little girl could not hide her smile. Even when she was denouncing someone, her appearance still gave off a sweet, gentle aura. “Always confused by appearances and never understanding the essence of things — is that how mortals look at the world? It’s hilarious.”

“Oh, how so?”

Danny slowly reached behind his back and asked as he walked forward, “Can you tell me more about this in detail?”

At this time, his heart was throbbing wildly. Now, there was only one chance at survival and that was to seize this daughter of some unknown big shot. Only in this way, could he and Annie have a chance to escape…

However, before he could act, Danny suddenly felt a sharp pain in his back. He turned his head in disbelief but saw that Annie was holding a dagger and the dagger had pierced his own back, fully submerged into the flesh.

“Annie, you…”

Danny suddenly coughed loudly. It seemed that his lung lobe had been pierced by the dagger. As he coughed, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

He only felt the cold and numbness swiftly overtaking his body and limbs. He only had time to take two stubborn steps forward and then his legs gave out. He sat down fully on the ground and no matter how he clambered, he could not get up.

“What, what’s going on?”

After Danny fell, Annie seemed to wake up from a dream. She stared blankly at the blood in her hands and then with a “clatter”, the dagger fell on the floor with a sharp clanging sound.

“Danny, Danny! I didn’t do it, it’s not me!”

Annie panicked. She hurriedly knelt on the ground to cover Danny’s wound, but all this was in vain. She could only watch the young man in front of her eyes bleed more and more as his face turned increasingly pale.

“It’s alright, Annie, I believe it wasn’t you…”

Danny gave a wry smile. He only had time to reassure Annie and then he closed his eyes completely.

“No!”

Annie broke out in a mournful howl. First her father, then Danny, who had quietly been in love with her. At this moment, she suddenly had a desire to burn everything down. If she had a nuclear bomb button in her hand now, she would press it without hesitation.

“Now do you know how it feels to lose everything?”

The little girl skipped forward, with an innocent smile on her face. “Annie, I’ve watched every step you’ve taken to this day. Actually, because of your father, you had many chances to turn back but you never learned to appreciate them.

“Not only that, but you also caused the death of your father who silently gave you everything, the reason being you want to save your Brother Fisher. Hehe, this is the funniest story I’ve heard in my life.”

“Who are you really?”

Annie lowered her head, her blond hair hiding her face. There was only her low, hoarse voice saying, “Who are you and why do you know all this?”

“Since you have asked so sincerely, then I’ll tell you out of mercy!”

The little girl was barefoot. Her slender feet stepped in the expanding puddle of blood under Danny, making a pattering sound. “Annie, surely you still remember what happened three years ago?”

“Three years ago?”

Annie raised her head abruptly.

“That’s right, you were injured in the nineteenth vertebra because of a car accident and then because of external pressure, it led to spinal nerve hemorrhagic necrosis in the spinal cord cavity. Such an injury was almost irreversible in terms of contemporary medical methods. But just three years ago, your father met a young man.”

The little girl said charmingly, “Because your father made a deal with the young man, as a reward, you went through an operation. Just after the operation, you miraculously stood up again. Do you know why that is?”

“My father said that he met a talented person with superb medical skills and he healed me…”

Annie replied in a soft voice.

“Yes, I believe you now know that person is the founder of our Blacklight Biotechnology, Sir Chen Chen.”

The little girl referred to Chen Chen using honorifics. “But surely you don’t know what you were healed by?”

Annie was stunned for a moment. She had never thought about this.

“It’s because of a chip called God.”

With these words, Annie suddenly felt her vision turning hazy and the little girl who was supposed to be standing in front of her suddenly turned into a blur, popping up behind her at a speed beyond her eyes could not follow!

In the next second, Annie only felt a sharp pain in her spine and she could not help but scream!

“Agh!”

After Annie’s scream, the little girl returned to face Annie, but now her right hand was drenched with blood. Not only that, but there was also a fingernail-sized item between her index finger and thumb.

“Agh, it hurts so bad!”

Annie fell to the ground in agony. She wanted to move her body, but she was shocked to find that she had lost all feelings in her lower limbs…

This kind of emptiness as if her lower body did not exist, was practically her personal nightmare. At this time, when this strange but familiar feeling hit her again, Annie finally could not hold back anymore and cried uncontrollably.

“Ta-da…”

The little girl walked directly in front of Annie and said condescendingly, “Do you see this? It’s this chip that allowed you to walk like an ordinary person for three years without any abnormalities, but it has another function. That is, it can monitor your every move and even your behavior can be manipulated!

“In other words, when you were pulled into the group White Embers, when you were seduced by that Fisher, and after you came to Eco Science City, everything you did, seemingly hidden, was under our watchful gaze!”

“No, no!”

Annie could not help crying loudly. Now she finally understood — the exposure of White Embers, Fisher’s capture by Blacklight Biotechnology, and the failure of this mission were all because of the chip in her back…

At this moment, her chest was bursting with incomparable regret, making her want to explode.

“Oh, by the way, that Fisher, why do you keep thinking about him?”

The little girl was puzzled. “Even if you look past how ugly that human creature is, he’s also incredibly stupid. He can’t compare to Sir Godfather at all. We just threw them onto a deserted island and let them slaughter each other until no one was left.”

Annie was shocked when she heard these words. She looked up suddenly and her voice deepened. “Brother Fisher is dead?”

“Of course, after all, we need data and materials for experiments. Although your Brother Fisher is useless, he still serves rather well as an experiment subject.”

The little girl clapped her hands and at once, someone from behind handed her a silver Rubik’s Cube. “Here, wanna see?”

With that, the little girl smiled and handed the Rubik’s Cube to Annie. “Do you want to see the holographic video of Fisher before he died?”

Annie braced her body with all her strength, stretched out her right hand, and tremblingly took the Rubik’s Cube, but with a slip of her hand, the Rubik’s Cube dropped directly into a pool of blood…

Then, a magical scene appeared —

The Rubik’s Cube that rolled into the pool of blood turned on automatically. Suddenly, a three-dimensional light beam was emitted, completely blanketing the surrounding corridor, presenting an island scene.

“This place is…”

Annie looked around in bewilderment but was suddenly surprised to see a group of people appearing on the island. Many of these people were familiar faces. Still, what excited her most were the three who were nearest — Fisher, Jennifer, and Jennifer’s younger sister.

“Brother Fisher!”

At this moment, Annie burst into tears. Finding a sudden burst of strength, she suddenly braced her arms and used them to keep crawling through the pool of blood, inch by inch, approaching the young man she had dreamed of.

Nevertheless, as soon as she had moved forward, she noticed that Fisher looked rather pathetic. Moreover, beside him, Jennifer was covered in wounds and there was even a missing chunk of flesh at the back of her head, exposing a part of her skull to the air.

Immediately afterward, she saw Fisher and Jennifer arguing out of nowhere, but the scene in front of her showed only the image without any sound. Annie only saw Jennifer bursting into silent laughter and then her whole body shuddered violently, eventually turning into a blanket of flesh and blood!

“Agh!”

Annie also unleashed a scream.

Soon enough, the screen changed as Fisher moved. Annie only saw Fisher running directly into the jungle beside him, but at this point, the figure of Jennifer’s sister suddenly appeared behind him, and she rushed over ferociously and plunged a blade into Fisher’s heart from the back!

“No!”

Seeing this scene, despite knowing that everything in front of her was a holographic projection, she still could not help shrieking again.

Then, the speed of the images began to accelerate and Annie could only watch Fisher’s body fall to the ground. Even so, before long, countless strands of Jennifer’s flesh and blood wriggled over and devoured Fisher’s body, using him as nourishment for the spreading carpet of flesh…

“No, it’s not true, it’s not true, sob sob sob!”

Annie cried so hard, she was almost unable to make a sound. She tried to crawl forward but she bumped into the Rubik’s Cube that was displaying the projection. The scene before her flickered and everything completely disappeared.

“How about it? I told you he’s dead.”

The little girl said matter-of-factly, “And he was killed by Jennifer’s sister because he caused Jennifer’s death. I have to say that this is indeed a kind of poetic justice.

“Oh, right…”

However, as she was talking, the little girl seemed to recall something. Her large delicate eyes curved into a pair of crescent moons. This smile looked innocent, but in Annie’s eyes, it was more terrifying than the devil’s grin. “By the way, did you know? When you were stealing your father’s pass just now, I was the one who made the call!”

Annie’s eyes widened when she heard this.

“Because I was very curious about what would happen if Samuel woke up suddenly, so I specifically gave Samuel a call, and it turned out…”

The little girl spread her hands, looking aggrieved. “I will be punished when Sir Godfather knows about this, but I was just a little curious at the time. Who would know that you guys would kill him…”

“You…”

Annie opened her mouth and finally closed her eyes in anguish.

At this instant, she was overcome by waves of remorse. If she had not gone against Blackwatch Corporation, all of this would not have happened, right?

Her father would not have died and she could live on in peace. As for things like being observed and monitored, what did those matter compare to the lives of her father and herself?

Nonetheless, there was no use crying over spilled milk…

“Sigh, I can’t be so playful next time, but after all, it’s the first time I have a body that belongs to me.”

The little girl muttered to herself and glanced at Annie who was in a daze. After that, she bent down and retrieved the quantum USB flash drive from Danny’s pocket, whose body was getting colder. She handed it to the Black Knight behind her before turning to leave.

Her bare feet left bloody footprints on the floor.

When the little girl had left, these Black Knights took action on their own. They promptly dragged Annie away, preparing to take her to the Spire Experimental Base and imprison her as a Delta-level experiment subject.

This was because Chen Chen had specifically instructed before that when Annie was no longer useful, she should be recycled, like trash…

…

“Knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock!”

A few minutes later, when Chen Chen was sitting in the office’s boss chair, leaning back and closing his eyes to rest, there were sudden knocks on the office door.

The knocks were a little harsh as if that person had not knocked on any doors in their life, causing a loud noise.

“Come in. What difference does it make whether you come in?”

Chen Chen frowned and said powerlessly.

“Sir Godfather…”

After Chen Chen’s words, the office door opened slowly with a creak and at the same time, half of a delicate face popped in, revealing a pair of shiny almond-shaped eyes. “Sir Godfather, I made a mistake…”

“Come in first.”

Chen Chen replied with a wooden expression. At this time, a photo of Samuel’s body had appeared on his computer screen, showing a bullet hole in his forehead. Although the wound was not large, Chen Chen knew by common sense that Samuel’s brain must have been fully scrambled.

Hearing Chen Chen’s order, Little X walked in cautiously, lowering her head like a kid who had done something wrong.

“You shouldn’t have made that call.”

Chen Chen rubbed the bridge of his nose, feeling a headache coming on. “I don’t wish for this to happen again, understand? Although Samuel’s existence wasn’t vital, he was the first person to follow me after all. Now he has died in the Eco Science City. If other people learn of this, what should they think? That I did it on purpose? That he was murdered to keep a secret?”

“Yes…”

Little X lowered her head and replied dejectedly, “I promise it won’t happen again!”

Seeing this, Chen Chen nodded and asked again, “Is that quantum virus controlled?”

“It has been controlled.”

Little X replied, “It was indeed a little difficult, but I disconnected the LAN when they inserted the USB drive into the computer, so the quantum virus didn’t get anything. After several rounds of probing, I believe that not only can I crack its code, it can also be used to counterattack the opponent, using quantum entanglement.”
