After Being In Prison For Five Years, I Mastered Every Nefarious Ability - Chapter 13
In the recreation room.
Alsop, Carl, Alan, and Henry were gathered around a table, staring intently at the table.
“6! 6! 6! 6! 6!” Carl clenched his right hand tightly, muttering to himself.
The other three people at the table were looking at Carl nervously as if they did not dare to relax even a little.
The next moment, Carl suddenly let go of his right hand. A cube fell from Carl’s right hand, fell on the table, and then rolled around again.
At this moment, the eyes of the four people around the table were all attracted by the cube, staring at it closely.
After rolling on the table for a few weeks, the cube finally stopped moving and lay quietly on the table. At the top of the square, there were six blue dots.
At this moment, a cheer and three sighs rose at the same time.
“Yeah, it’s 6!!”
Carl excitedly picked up the chess piece on the table and moved six squares forward.
Finally, he placed the chess piece steadily on the other two chess pieces of the same color in the center of the table.
“This way, I’ll have three planes arriving at the finish line.”
Alsop looked at Carl, who was rubbing his hands excitedly. “Kid, don’t be a hacker. Just go and buy lottery tickets. With your luck, do you still need to work?” she asked helplessly.
“What do you know? Hacking is my hobby. It’s your turn to throw the dice.” The four people around the table laughed and laughed.
In the corner, Putnam did not seem to pay attention to what the others were doing. He was just playing with the phone in front of him.
“Hey, hey, hey, is it really okay to play with your phone in prison?”
In another corner that was completely opposite to Putnam, Li Zhuo and Armstrong were holding two magazines to cover their faces to prevent Putnam from finding out that they were spying on him.
“I told you, you can do anything in Section S. Of course, you can play with your phone.” Armstrong showed a hint of pride again.
“What are you so proud of?” Li Zhuo’s eyes twitched twice.
If all of Putnam’s actions were done on the phone, it would be difficult for them to investigate anything. At this time, they still had to rely on the help of the genius hacker Carl.
Thinking of this, Li Zhuo put down the magazine in his hand and stood up, walking towards Carl.
This action was too sudden. Armstrong was so scared that he shrank his neck, hiding his entire face behind the magazine in his hand.
Li Zhuo came to Carl’s side, patted his shoulder. “Come out and talk?”
Carl raised his head and looked at Li Zhuo with a smile. He knew very well why Li Zhuo came to find him. Therefore, he did not say anything. He just extended a finger.
Li Zhuo raised his eyebrows and leaned over to Carl’s ear, “why do you need so much money as a child?”
“It’s none of your business. I also have something I like to buy.”
That’s right. Carl was a child. He was ten years old.
Li Zhuo glanced at Armstrong without changing his expression. That guy was still hiding behind the magazine.
Although the magazine that was held upside down had already exposed where Armstrong’s attention was, the magazine still gave Armstrong a sense of security.
Li Zhuo sighed and looked at Carl. “You have to talk to Armstrong about the price.”
“OK.” Carl threw down the chess piece in his hand and followed Li Zhuo to Armstrong’s side. He also picked up a magazine and covered his own face.
This scene looked a little comical. Even the other three people who were playing board games could not help but look over.
Only Putnam seemed to be unconcerned about the situation around him. He was still looking at the phone in his hand.
In the corner, Li Zhuo nudged Armstrong with his elbow. “I think we need to rely on Carl’s help now. His hacking skills can help us find out what Putnam has been looking at on the phone recently.”
Armstrong was delighted. He extended his arm over Li Zhuo’s chest and touched Carl’s head. “Kid, it’s great that you’re willing to help.”
Carl did not dodge. He allowed Armstrong to tousle his melon-skin hairstyle and revealed an innocent smile. “I didn’t say I wanted to help for free.”
After saying that, he extended a finger. “Ten million.”
Li Zhuo was slightly surprised when he heard that. He had thought that Carl’s offer was one million, but he had not expected it to be ten times higher.
At this moment, Armstrong’s hand immediately froze. “Ten million? Why don’t you rob me instead?” he stiffly withdrew his hand and said with some dissatisfaction.
“Then you think of a way yourself.” As Carl said this, he was about to put down the magazine and leave.
Seeing that Carl was so straightforward, Armstrong became anxious.
“Fine, fine, fine. Ten million it is. Quickly find out what Putnam is looking at on his phone.”
Li Zhuo could not believe it and thought, ‘so I’m asking for too little, huh?’
…
He pushed open the door and saw a small, dark room.
Li Zhuo looked curiously at the situation in the room. Beside him, Armstrong whistled. “This is your workplace? This is my first time here.”
“I didn’t say I would invite you in.” Carl, who was standing between the two of them, took a step forward and slammed the door shut, leaving Li Zhuo and Armstrong outside.
“Hey, hey, hey, is this how you treat your customers?” Armstrong said.
Carl, who was inside the door, ignored him. Obviously, everyone treated Armstrong as an idiot.
Li Zhuo smiled. “Armstrong, I think it’s okay for him to do this. After all, Carl may have his own secrets.”
“As a hacker, equipment is life. It’s understandable that I don’t want you to see it.”
Armstrong turned to look at Li Zhuo when he heard this. “Equipment? That room is dark. I don’t see any light. How did you see the equipment?” he said with a puzzled face.
Li Zhuo smiled slightly. He closed his eyes and sat on the bench in the corridor outside the door. He did not give an answer.
In fact, just because others could not see it did not mean that Li Zhuo could not see it.
The three seconds when Carl pushed the door open just now were as long as three years to the memory world in Li Zhuo’s mind.
During these three years, Li Zhuo had seen these three seconds countless times.
He saw it so many times that his eyes could adapt to the darkness in the room. Then, it was absolutely no problem for him to see the outline of the things in the room.
He saw very clearly that there were at least twenty computers in the room. Some of them were very small, and some of them were very large.
As for the difference between these computers, Li Zhuo did not understand. This was not Li Zhuo’s specialty.
After about five minutes, the door to the room was opened again. Carl walked out of the dark room and smiled at Armstrong.
“It’s done..”
