A Beauty With Multiple Masks Chapter 801
The staff nodded in acknowledgment. They also knew that it would be rude to go against the deputy captain. Hence, they stopped what they were doing and waited to see what Arielle was capable of.
In other words, they were just waiting for her to fail.
One of them, who was more forthright, walked up to Arielle and remarked, “Miss, please have a go at it. But don‘t worry if you fail. After all, this isn‘t some silly game, so we won‘t laugh at you.”
Just as he spoke, the other members of the technical staff couldn‘t hold back their laughter.
“Silence!” the deputy captain snapped. “What‘s wrong with you lot?”
Despite falling silent, the staff maintained their gaze on Arielle.
All they saw was Arielle staring at the string of code for two long minutes. Just when everyone thought she was stumped, Arielle pulled the keyboard tray out and got to work.
The staff that had just spoken to her murmured, “She really is giving it a go.”
No one else dared to comment as they were worried the deputy captain would hear them. Nevertheless, they looked on in a condescending manner.
The next moment, all they heard was the loud tapping
sounds of the keyboard.
Raising their gaze in surprise, they saw Arielle‘s fingers dancing on the keyboard at breakneck speed. It was so fast that they could barely see what she was pressing. The only thing they caught was the shadow of her finger movements.
This speed…
Before everyone recovered from their surprise, Arielle smashed the “Enter” key, causing a progress bar to appear on the screen.
It started from zero percent and began to fill rapidly.
Widening his eyes in shock, the technical team captain exclaimed, “She… she has managed to crack it!”
The rest of the technical were equally astounded.
In fact, they look as if they had seen a ghost.
Fill with delight, the deputy captain asked, “Ms. Moore, did you really crack the code?”
“Mmm–hmm.” Arielle nodded. “Once the progress bar reaches a hundred percent, the virus will be cleared.”
Meanwhile, the progress bar hit a hundred percent with a beep.
As the blue screens across the computers began to flicker, they quickly rebooted and recovered their
function.
The virus had finally been removed.
The man who mocked Arielle earlier remarked in disbelief, “She has successfully cracked it.”
At the moment, the entire room fell silent.
Even if the members of the technical team refused to believe that a young lady could have IT skills that far surpassed them, they couldn’t deny the truth.
Are our skills really that lousy? Or is she some expert hacker who is unknown? If she really is a hacker, why hasn‘t her name appeared in the top fifty of the international dark web hacker chart? After all, our captain is ranked forty–second on it. Even if she is hiding behind a pseudonym, she can‘t have changed her gender too, can she?
After recovering from his shock, the man remembered how rude he was earlier. He walked up to Arielle and apologized, “I‘m sorry, Ms. Moore. I have been blind for not recognizing how amazing your skills are. Please accept my apology. I‘m sorry!”
Although the rest of the staff remain silent, all of them hung their heads in shame.
Much to their surprise, Arielle didn’t accept the apology nor mock them in return. Instead, she looked at them with a puzzled expression.
Blinking her eyes, she asked, “Why are you apologizing to me?”
She was so engrossed in decrypting the code that she didn‘t hear anything that was said.
