My Wife is a Hacker

Nicole's curiosity piqued. 'If it's not an exit, then what are they doing?' The more she thought about it, the stranger it seemed. In a moment of decision right before the two men were about to close the door, she suddenly appeared and knocked them unconscious.

She had a hunch that even if this wasn't the secret passage, it must be hiding some secret, so she had to find out.

Glancing at the two men lying on the ground, Nicole quickly entered through the stone wall door.

What's all this?" Nicole asked, amazed at what she saw.

Before her, about a dozen round, heavy objects had been carried out by two men. These objects were made of steel, with no fancy details, leaving Nicole puzzled about what they could be for.

She went up to one, touching it, hoping to find a switch or button that might show what it did.

But after trying everything she could think of and nothing happening, Nicole looked puzzled and said, "What are these? They can't just be big chunks of metal."

As she looked more closely, Nicole noticed a small symbol. This symbol was hard to see unless you were looking right at it.

The design of the symbol caught her eye because it looked both new and familiar.

"This symbol looks like it's from the 'Brave' robots, but not quite the same," Nicole observed, running her fingers over the symbol.

Suddenly, the object beeped and turned on.

A screen popped up where the symbol was, showing different commands.

Nicole was shocked.

These were combat robots. The symbol, similar to that of the Brave robots, suggested they were newer versions based on the Brave design, which was why the symbol was changed.

Nicole had no idea Lawrence could have something like this.

She wondered, 'How did Lawrence get these robots? And how could he make them?' "You shouldn't be here," Lawrence suddenly said, startling Nicole.

As Nicole turned to face him, she looked calm but her mind was full of thoughts.

She hadn't found the secret passage and knew Lawrence wouldn't let her look for it now. She also realized she needed to tell Jared and the others about these robots right away.

"I know you've been secretly talking to Doretta. Give it to me," Lawrence's voice got colder.

He had thought about ignoring Nicole's secret messages to catch her friends off guard. But after she found this place, he wasn't going to let her send any more messages.

As he finished speaking, someone came over to take her way to communicate.

Nicole quickly made a plan.

She hit the emergency button on her device and then tossed it to Lawrence.

She knew fighting back was useless but she had to do something quick.

Even though Jared and the team didn't know about the robots yet, if she could distract Lawrence for a bit, there might still be a chance to tell them. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

After giving up her device, Nicole faced Lawrence and said, "I was just exploring. Didn't expect to find anything this interesting." "For your own good, don't go wandering around," Lawrence warned her.

Even though Nicole didn't say it, he knew she recognized the robots. Nicole was smart, especially with weapons, and since she had designed the original Brave robots, she would easily notice these were a new version.
