Professor Qin immediately said to the programmer sitting there, “Little Zhang. Get up from your seat, let me take a look.”

The programmer immediately stood up from his seat and took a step aside.

Professor Qin sat down and his fingers quickly tapped on the keyboard.

The people around him saw his expression going from bad to worse.

The students standing near the door anxiously looked at them.

Just then, another voice sounded from the door. “Professor Qin, the scene is too terrifying. The audience’s emotions are getting affected and we are about to lose control of the situation. Please find a way to change the scene as soon as possible!”

Professor Qin’s expression darkened with every passing second. In the end, he said in a solemn voice, “Our main program has been attacked by the hackers. Moreover, there’s not only one of them. They should be part of a group that had planned this in advance.”

He then motioned for the other programmers. “Everyone, let’s try to fight back against them together. Quickly, otherwise, the hackers will infiltrate our school’s main system.”

The programmers felt anxious as they hastily sat before the several monitors and started to tap on the keyboard.

All of their expressions were very serious.

The two people standing by the door both had a cold sweat running down their backs.

Zi Yi stood up at that moment and took a laptop from the side. She walked to the two students standing by the door and asked, “Can the curtain at the front block the projection?”

“No, the curtain is unable to block it. When the terrifying scene appeared, it was displayed all over the auditorium.”

“Moreover, the terrifying atmosphere was also accompanied by extremely realistic sound effects.”

Zi Yi planned to head out to take a look. She turned around and said to Mrs. Lu, “Auntie, I’ll head outside for a look first. Stay here for the time being and don’t go out.”

Mrs. Lu was worried about her. “Little Zi, don’t go.”

“It’s fine.” Zi Yi opened the laptop and quickly entered strings of code. The next second, the monitor that displayed a black screen returned to normal.

Professor Qin who was doing his best to block off the hackers along with several other programmers looked at the monitor with a shocked gaze at the same time.

The monitor was displaying the scene in the auditorium.

Terrifying sound effects along with a 4D projection of a bloody scene were displayed.

“Sii-”

Several Ph.D. students gasped.

“This scene is so realistic.”

“Isn’t this too terrifying?”

Mrs. Lu held her heart as she also got a fright.

Zi Yi headed towards the front desk immediately.

Those standing by the door were still hesitating whether they should follow her or not and the Ph.D. students had hastily chased up to Zi Yi.

Mrs. Lu was worried about her and had also followed out.

Zi Yi stepped onto the stage directly from behind the big curtain that blocked the stage.

At that moment, there was no one on the stage, but there were purgatory-like horror scenes displayed all around.

With every step she took, it was as if she had stepped on a corpse. There was a mountain and sea of blood, and there was even an effect where blood splattered everywhere.

The Ph.D. Students were all frightened and their feet seemed to have taken root to the ground. They dared not take another step further.

Mrs. Lu felt her heart palpitating, but she was worried about Zi Yi and simply continued walking forward.

Zi Yi heard the footsteps sounds behind her and turned to see Mrs. Lu whose complexion had turned pale. She then heard screams and cries outside the curtain. Her expression was calm without the slightest change. She had one hand holding onto the laptop as another hand of hers was quickly running across the keyboard.

“Little Zi, I’ll help you support the laptop.”

Zi Yi looked at Mrs. Lu who came over to her and the corner of her lips curled up.

Mrs. Lu saw that smile on her lips and somehow she felt more at ease.

She took the laptop from Zi Yi and made sure the screen was directed at Zi Yi.

Zi Yi said nothing and her slender fingers were placed on the keyboard as it tapped the keys in rapid succession.

Strings of codes had swiftly scrolled up on the screen and disappeared. Soon after, it was connected to the control system of the auditorium.

Just as everyone was feeling extreme fear, the scene suddenly changed.

A piece of gentle and soothing music sounded in their ears along with flower petals floating around. There were even faint religious chanting voices and all these sounds had dispersed the fear in everyone’s heart.

Mrs. Lu took a glance at the beautiful scenery around them and her gaze landed on Zi Yi in the end. A sense of pride inexplicable welled up from deep down.

Zi Yi was doing the cruelest thing with the calmest expression on her face. She had pursued the base of the hackers and revealed their information over the internet. Moreover, it was those types that they could not remove no matter what.

For a moment, the entire world of the net exploded.

Zi Yi stopped what she was doing and looked at Mrs. Lu standing in front of her. “Auntie, we can head down now.”

As soon as she said that, she took the laptop from her hands and held her arm as they got ready to go down.

With a turn, they were met with dozens of sparkling eyes.

Among them were school leaders, people from the Education Bureau, along with Nangong Yu and a few Department Heads of the Student Union.

Tang Zhiyuan stared into her eyes and asked, “Zi Yi, were you the one who dealt with the hackers?”

Zi Yi pressed her lips together and had no intentions to answer. Just then, Professor Qin along with a few programmers walked out with an excited expression.

Professor Qin looked at Zi Yi with a pair of shining eyes. “Student Zi, to think you’re able to chase a group of hackers alone!”

Zi Yi calmly nodded her head. “I’ve said before that the hackers would definitely attack tonight’s event. I’ve made preparations in advance.”

Everyone thought of how she kept playing with her phone ever since she entered the control room and they suddenly came to a realization.

In particular, those few people who thought that she was spouting nonsense earlier instantly felt their ears flushing red.

If they had listened to Zi Yi from the start and got prepared, they would not have easily allowed the hackers to hack inside their system.

Zi Yi and Mrs. Lu walked down the stage together.

One of the higher-ups from the Education Bureau could not help but praise. “As expected of an M.Uni student. You were capable enough to get rid of a group of hackers on your own. Student Zi, you’ve done well.”

When the higher-ups from M.Uni heard their praise for Zi Yi, they felt even happier than when they were praised themselves.

Zi Yi did not reveal the excited expression after getting praised. Instead, she said, “The performance can continue.”

Everyone thought of how this event was broadcasted live and all the cameras could not be turned off back then. Thus, the real situation could only be broadcasted. All of their expressions turned serious.

The school’s leader said to Nangong Yu, “Student Nangong, continue with the performances.”

They and a few other higher-ups from the Education Bureau headed to one side. They had to discuss how they were to explain the situation that had happened earlier.

Everyone did not know that the hacker’s nest had been flipped over by Zi Yi. What they knew was that M.Uni’s event had been attacked by hackers and the M.Uni students had resolved the situation. All of them were waiting for the continuation.

Nangong Yu looked at Zi Yi with a surprised gaze. “Junior Zi, you’re really amazing.”

Zi Yi responded with an ‘mmh’ and headed towards the control room together with Mrs. Lu.

Nangong Yu looked at her departing back view and headed backstage soon after. He then said to the host and the performer for the next performance, “Prepare to get on stage to continue to perform at once.”

The next program was the campus belle, Murong You’s performance. She was going to perform an ancient-themed solo dance.

Murong You walked to Nangong Yu and asked, while feeling slight palpitations, “President Nangong, has the problem with the stage effects been resolved?”

Nangong Yu nodded. “Yes, it has been resolved.”

Murong You released a sigh of relief and said, “Then I’ll make my way over.”

“Go ahead and perform well. Your dancing is great.”

Murong You smiled like a flower and walked towards the stage.
