Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 647: Chapter 627: Gravity Sensing on the Stairs? Are You Filming a Movie?

”Senior Brother... Just like this, we go in?” Luo Qianqian was wearing a mask at this moment, and her large glasses that teased the cat’s eyes covered her eyes. She looked at the entrance where basically no one was coming and going, only two young ruffians who seemed to be smoking.

Jimo Cheng didn’t know where he pulled out a black box from, but after he put the necklace, bracelet, and ring inside the box on Luo Qianqian, he patted her head.

”Don’t talk, just follow me,” Jimo Cheng instructed in the end, and then began to walk towards the entrance of the internet cafe. His steps gradually became casual and sluggish. When he reached the entrance, the smoking ruffian said, ”Hey, bro, got a light?”

”I have an aspiration that can start a prairie fire,” Jimo Cheng said in a very low voice. Luo Qianqian almost laughed out loud in an instant. What kind of odd conversation was this?

But she controlled herself, knowing this could be the password for entry.

”What the hell is that? I’m talking about fire, lighter fire. Lend me a lighter, dude,” the man said again.

Jimo Cheng paused, his voice stilted: ”No, I don’t drink.” He inhaled again, ”Been feeling a bit of heartburn lately.” His face was full of innocence.

”Don’t bully the kid, let me lend it to you,” a man next to him handed a lighter to the man talking to Jimo Cheng, and passed something to Jimo Cheng’s hand.

He gave a slight nod, directly grabbed Luo Qianqian’s wrist, and pulled her into the internet cafe.

Luo Qianqian’s face showed realization, it was indeed a password.

No wonder the floor was so clean, not a single cigarette butt in sight.

The interior of the internet cafe was not like a typical internet cafe at all.

This was Luo Qianqian’s first reaction after entering the internet cafe. Who would make their internet cafe look like a movie theater? Only seats, no computers? And in front of them, a huge screen displayed scenes of Tom and Jerry.

Jimo Cheng pulled Luo Qianqian to sit casually in a spot, calmly watching the screen.

Luo Qianqian also stayed quiet, sitting next to Jimo Cheng and watching the cartoon, but her hands tightly clutched the sleeve of Jimo Cheng, who wore a hoodie just like hers.

Jimo Cheng’s long fingers rhythmically tapped on the chair armrest, his eyes fixed forward, ignoring the glances thrown at them from those around.

However, Luo Qianqian couldn’t settle down. Although the people around her did not fill every seat, there were still twenty or thirty people, and at least ten were staring at her. How could she not be nervous?

Yet, the hall remained very quiet, no voices could be heard.

Luo Qianqian pretended to be calm watching Tom and Jerry, while sweat slowly beaded in her palms.

She always felt this place was not as she had imagined.

After a while, a few more people entered, one of them sat in the front row, and Luo Qianqian’s eyes lit up. Although he wore a hat and glasses, she had been with Hei Yu for half a year, how could she not recognize him?

Following that, her eyebrows immediately furrowed. But there was a familiar feeling, did she have acquaintances here too?

The lights inside the room suddenly dimmed, leaving only a beam casting onto the screen, which no longer showed the previous cartoon. In the blink of an eye, it switched to two lines of text, changing languages from time to time, but Luo Qianqian discerned them carefully, and it seemed that all the changes were this same sentence:

The real gathering place prohibits any electronic devices. Please store your items in the lockers by the stairs, then go upstairs and do as you are instructed.

Luo Qianqian was startled. She couldn’t bring her phone?

Jimo Cheng reached out, took her phone, shook his head gently at her, then put on his black-framed glasses perched on his nose, and placed both mobile phones into the storage box before giving the key to Luo Qianqian.

Luo Qianqian quickly secured the key and followed Jimo Cheng’s steps upstairs.

The internet cafe had three floors in total, but normally, only the first floor and basement were open to customers. The second and third floors were said to be accessible only to members.

Of course, there were many who acted quicker than them, and naturally, there were also some behind them.

And Hei Yu, whether by intention or coincidence, was right in front of the two.

Luo Qianqian felt her heart might leap out of her chest. However, since Jimo Cheng had brought her here, she wouldn’t do anything to expose his identity. Looking around, she saw that everyone was wearing masks, obviously concealing their identities.

After reaching the second floor, they saw a rather large room with a computer inside. The wall directly opposite the computer was filled with strings of English letters, numbers, and various symbols.

Jimo Cheng’s eyes narrowed, his fingers swiftly scribbling something on his hand. Luo Qianqian looked at the people around and found that they all had the same reaction.

Luo Qianqian looked towards the stairs to the third floor, only to see a very heavy-looking iron door.

But next to it was something that seemed like a keypad lock. She mimicked the random gestures of the people around her, yet her eyes were fixed on the computer—which looked ordinary enough—except for a fingerprint scanner on the desk.

One of the individuals, brimming with excitement, stepped forward to inspect the keypad lock, then returned to the computer and entered his answer. After typing something else, he paused for a moment, pressed the fingerprint scanner, and then excitedly stared at the screen. He closed the page, cleared the history, and walked towards the door. After pressing a few keys on the lock, the door opened, and he went upstairs, enthralled. Others tried to follow, but the door immediately closed behind him.

”The floor has a gravity sensor,” Jimo Cheng nodded, realizing.

Luo Qianqian was perplexed. This was just an ascent to another level, yet there was a gravity sensor in place. Did they think this was a movie?

Previously hesitant individuals who now had their answers did not hesitate to enter their passwords. Everyone was orderly, definitely not peeking at others’ solutions. They would keep their distance when it was someone’s turn to enter theirs.

Jimo Cheng stepped forward only when no one else was approaching, entered his answer, and understood everything upon seeing the subsequent screen.

He randomly typed, pressed with his pinky, then closed the window. Turning around, he crouched in front of Luo Qianqian, ”Come on.”

Luo Qianqian was taken aback, then laid on Jimo Cheng’s back. It wasn’t her fault; she couldn’t understand anything on that wall, so how could she know the answer?

Carrying her, Jimo Cheng entered the password and ascended the staircase, while the people in the second-floor hall looked as though they had opened the gate to a new world. However, after exchanging glances, their faces fell.

The third floor wasn’t as mysterious as Luo Qianqian had anticipated, but rather resembled a typical cafe.

Jimo Cheng casually touched his fingers, placed Luo Qianqian back on the ground, and furrowed his brows. This wasn’t what he expected. This was a message to all the hackers on the net; surely it wasn’t just about having a cup of tea?

Moreover, the signature on the message was ”7”, which was the reason so many had come.

Number 7 was a legendary figure who appeared ten years ago and always veiled in mystery within the hacker world. Yet, his achievements remained irreplaceable.

But the nationality, age, and identity of 7, whether male or female, were all mysteries.
