Chapter 129 The End of the Exploration of the Dangerous Cave

Dai Shiya crawled along the ventilation duct. The metal duct was cold and hard, which hurt her elbow.

The air in the duct was filthy, and the strange smell of mold and dust irritated her nasal cavity, making her feel sick.

But she dared not relax at all, because she knew that she was getting closer and closer to the heart of the enemy - the core confidential area.

The heartbeat was particularly clear in the narrow duct, hitting her eardrums like a drum.

Dai Shiya held her breath and tried to control her emotions, not letting tension and fear swallow her.

She could feel that the dangerous atmosphere around her was getting stronger and stronger, like an invisible net, tightly surrounding her.

Ahead, there was a fork in the duct.

Dai Shiya stopped and took out a simple map from her backpack, carefully identifying it with the weak light.

On the map, the path leading to the core confidential area was intricate, like a maze.

Dai Shiya took a deep breath and chose one of the paths marked with a red mark.

This path was narrower and could only allow one person to pass through.

Dai Shiya crawled forward carefully, taking every step with extreme caution.

She knew that if she was not careful, she might trigger the mechanism and die here. From time

to time, there were some tiny holes on the metal walls on both sides of the pipe.

Dai Shiya knew that these holes might be connected to deadly traps.

She didn't dare to touch them, so she could only try to avoid them.

The air around her became more and more solemn and suffocating.

Dai Shiya felt her nerves were stretched tight, like a string that could break at any time.

Suddenly, she felt a slight vibration under her feet.

Dai Shiya stopped immediately, her muscles tensed, ready to deal with danger at any time.

"Tick, tick..."

A regular ticking sound came from the front, which was particularly clear in the silent pipe.

Dai Shiya's heart sank suddenly, and she realized that she might have triggered some kind of mechanism.

She slowly raised her head and looked forward.

In the faint light, she saw a timer flashing red light, beating one by one.

"30...29...28..."

Time passed by minute by minute, and Dai Shiya's brain was working rapidly, trying to find a way to crack the mechanism.

"Wait..." Wei Qing's voice suddenly came from the headset, "Shiya, have you noticed that the numbers on the timers..."

Dai Shiya was stunned and looked at the timers again.

"15...14...13..."

"These numbers..." Dai Shiya muttered to herself, "The order in which they are arranged..."

"No!" Dai Shiya suddenly exclaimed, "These are not timers at all!"

Dai Shiya's eyes were fixed on the "timers". The numbers were jumping, but in her eyes, they were no longer countdown death warrants, but a string of encrypted information.

She remembered a broken document that she had intercepted before, which recorded a special encryption method within the mysterious force, which used the order of numbers as the key.

"These numbers are the Fibonacci sequence!" Dai Shiya whispered excitedly, and her heartbeat gradually calmed down.

1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13...

She quickly recited in her mind, matching the numbers displayed on the "timer" with the number series, "21... The next one should be 34!"

Almost at the same time she said "34", the number on the "timer" jumped to "34", and then the ticking stopped and the red light went out.

A slight "click" sound came, and Dai Shiya felt the metal plate under her body tremble slightly.

The member of the mysterious force hidden in the monitoring room, who had originally been confident of victory, froze in an instant.

He widened his eyes in disbelief and stared at the ventilation duct image displayed on the screen.

"Impossible! How could she know..." He muttered to himself, his tone full of shock and confusion.

At the same time, the metal plate in front of Dai Shiya slowly rose up, revealing an entrance that could only accommodate one person.

A gust of cold air hit her face, mixed with the unique smell of electronic components in the machine room.

Dai Shiya took a deep breath, took out a flashlight from her backpack, and got in without hesitation.

The beam of the flashlight cut through the darkness, illuminating the scene in front of her.

This was a spacious underground space, filled with various precision instruments and flashing indicator lights of various colors.

A low humming sound filled the air, as if some huge machine was running.

Dai Shiya looked around, and an indescribable sense of accomplishment surged in her heart.

She succeeded!

She broke through the many traps and entered the heart of the enemy!

Just then, she heard a slight sound of footsteps behind her.

Dai Shiya turned around abruptly, and the beam of the flashlight shone in the direction of the sound.

"You are really not simple." A low voice sounded in the darkness.

Under the beam of the flashlight, a tall man with a cold face slowly walked out of the shadows.

He was wearing a black suit, his eyes were as sharp as a falcon, and he exuded a dangerous aura from head to toe.

Dai Shiya's heart trembled, and she clenched the flashlight in her hand.

The man did not act immediately, but looked at Dai Shiya with interest.

"You are very smart. You can find this place." His voice is low and magnetic. "Unfortunately, you are still too naive."

Dai Shiya ignored the man's ridicule. She quickly scanned the surrounding environment, looking for an escape route.

However, she soon found that she was surrounded.

At some point, men in black appeared in every corner of the room. They held weapons in their hands and stared at her coldly.

Dai Shiya took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.

She knew that this was not the time to panic.

She had to find a way to escape and bring back the information.

"Who are you?" Dai Shiya asked calmly.

The man sneered, "You don't need to know."

"What do you want to do?"

"Of course, to stop you." The man approached Dai Shiya step by step, "You know too many things you shouldn't know."

Just as the man was about to get close to Dai Shiya, she suddenly moved.

She threw the flashlight in her hand at the man with lightning speed, and then turned and ran to the other side of the room.

"Catch her!" The man roared.

The men in black immediately surrounded her, and Dai Shiya dodged left and right, flexibly avoiding their attacks.

However, two fists could not beat four hands, and she was eventually forced into a corner.

Just as Dai Shiya fell into despair, her eyes suddenly fell on an inconspicuous metal cabinet in the corner.

Her heart moved, and a bold plan formed in her mind.

Dai Shiya pretended to give up resistance and let the men in black catch her.

At the moment when the men in black relaxed their vigilance, she suddenly broke free from her restraints and rushed towards the metal cabinet.

"Stop her!" The man roared again.

However, it was too late.

Dai Shiya opened the metal cabinet at an astonishing speed and took out a document from it.

"Is this what you want?" Dai Shiya held the document high with a triumphant smile on her face.

The contents of the document came into view, and Dai Shiya's breathing became rapid. This was the core secret she had been pursuing!

A huge sense of excitement surged in her heart, and the pressure and danger around her seemed to disappear, leaving only pure joy.

The world in her eyes was a little brighter, as if bathed in golden sunlight.

However, this joy did not last long.

The expression on the man's face became more gloomy, and he slowly raised the gun in his hand, "It seems that you will not cry until you see the coffin."

"Do you think you can threaten me like this?" Dai Shiya tried to be calm, but her slightly trembling voice exposed her fear.

Dai Shiya was pointed at by the black muzzle of the gun, and her heart was beating violently, as if it was about to burst through her chest.

She felt the cold sweat on her back soaking her clothes, and her palms were sticky.

The cold eyes of the black-clothed people around her were like poisonous snakes, making her almost breathless.

The edges of the metal cabinet hurt her hands, but she held the documents tightly, and her knuckles turned white.

The humming sound of the computer room became harsh in her ears, like a sonata of death.

"Wei Qing, do you hear it?" Dai Shiya whispered in an almost inaudible voice, and a rustling sound of electricity came from the headset, just like her disordered heartbeat at the moment.

"Shiya! Are you okay? I've located your position, and support will be here soon!" Wei Qing's anxious voice came from the headset, like a beam of warm light, illuminating Dai Shiya's desperate heart.

"It's too late..." Dai Shiya smiled bitterly, she could feel the man's cold murderous intent, "But, I got something."

"Something? What?" Wei Qing's voice was full of doubt.

Dai Shiya took a deep breath and briefly told Wei Qing the contents of the document.

Wei Qing's breathing became rapid on the other end of the headset.

"Oh my God! Shiya, you're so great! You must hold on, I'll be there soon!"

The man frowned impatiently, "Do you still have time to chat?" He pushed Dai Shiya's forehead hard with the muzzle of the gun, "Hand over the documents!"

Dai Shiya suppressed her fear and tried to keep herself calm.

"Do you think I will hand it over so easily?" She raised the documents in her hand, with a gleam of resistance in her eyes.

"The content of this document is enough to completely destroy your organization!"

The man's face turned livid in an instant. He didn't expect Dai Shiya to be so bold.

The black-clad men around him looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a moment.

"I know what you are worried about." Dai Shiya keenly caught the hesitation in the man's eyes, and she continued, "Once this document is exposed, your actions will be exposed to the world. At that time, none of you can escape!"

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense, and the air was filled with gunpowder.

Dai Shiya could feel the man's tense body and rapid breathing.

She knew that she had made the right bet.

"What do you want?" The man asked with gritted teeth, his voice was low and hoarse, as if it came from hell.

Dai Shiya smiled slightly, revealing a confident smile. "It's very simple, let me go."

The man was silent for a moment, and then slowly put down the gun in his hand. "Okay, I promise you."

Dai Shiya was happy in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face.

"But I have another condition."

"What condition?" The man asked vigilantly.

"I want to make sure my friend is safe." Dai Shiya's eyes were firm and persistent. "If she loses a hair, I promise that this document will be made public immediately!"

The man looked at Dai Shiya deeply and nodded. "I promise you."

Dai Shiya was relieved. She held the document tightly in her arms and slowly walked to the door.

Just as she was about to leave the room, the man suddenly said, "You are very smart, Dai Shiya."

Dai Shiya stopped and turned to look at the man.

"You are too, but you chose the wrong way."

The man did not speak, but just watched Dai Shiya leave quietly.

After Dai Shiya left, the man turned around and said to the black-clad man behind him, "Prepare for action."

The black-clad men looked at each other, and one of them asked cautiously, "Boss, are we really going to let her go?"

The man sneered, "Let her go? I just gave her a false illusion of escape."

The black-clad man suddenly realized and showed a sinister smile on his face. "Boss, you are wise!"

Dai Shiya walked out of the computer room and returned along the way she came.

She knew that she was safe for the time being, but she also knew that greater challenges were waiting for her.

"Shiya, where are you?" Wei Qing's anxious voice came from the headset.

"I'm out." Dai Shiya replied, "but..."

"But what?"

"They may not let me go..." Dai Shiya's voice was full of worry.

At this moment, she heard a burst of hurried footsteps behind her.

"It seems that they are catching up..."
