The four of them continued exploring until they had covered everything except the last building at the top of the map. While walking, they saw a zipline ahead that connected to the upper floors of the building. Just as they were about to use it, they suddenly heard strange noises, like a computer working and people talking. Ares suggested that Semi go up first and scout the area, as she had been the quietest.
As Semi ascended, she tried to crouch as low as possible, and when nothing seemed to be there, she signaled for the others to follow. They then slowly ascended one by one using zip lines. As they approached the source of the sound, they found a group of about 10 people using strange high-tech devices. These included cubes that, when thrown, would cause objects and people to levitate, and two small rods that, when thrown to one point and then another in a different direction, would act like teleportation. Another device, when the user raised a tablet and stood on a block, would cause the block to disappear instantly, and the user would fall down.
Semi: What the heck is this?!!!
Big G: I'm not sure, but look at their shirts. It says "CNS." Who are they?
Semi: So it's them! I never thought I'd meet them in person.
Moon: Who are they, Ares? What do you know?
Then Ares began to explain all the information she had gathered to everyone. Although it was little, she tried her best to make sure everyone understood.
Moon: So, these are hackers, huh? What do they want?
Ares: That's what I still don't know, because the person who wrote that post has been blocked, and I haven't asked them yet.
Semi: What are we going to do now? Even if the two of us get out, you two are still stuck here! By the time help arrives, you two will be caught!
While the four of them were lying down, trying to figure out what to do next, a person in a hoodie suddenly announced something, but they couldn't hear it. So they had to get closer, until finally they were close enough to understand what was being said.
???: Alright, listen up!!! You're all prepared for anything, right? All the gadgets, our assault units, the virus to hack into the game's firewall, and our trump card—the people who will use it—are you all ready?
???: Yes, sir, Adrian. I've trained to be ready for that.
Adrian: Very good. In a few minutes, we'll barge into that annoying presenters' live broadcast and deliver the message to our boss for his statement. But first…we need to get rid of those eavesdropping rats!!!!!!
Then, Adrian looked at us and pointed his finger to indicate a location. All ten of them turned and started running almost immediately.
Ares: Damn it! How did they know we were here!!!
Moon:Anyway, we need to escape quickly!!!
Then, the four of them started running back the way they came, about to use their zip lines to get to the gallery. But as they were about to enter another building, they suddenly heard a strange sound, like something being thrown to block their path. Then it shattered, and those creatures emerged from the portal. The four of them couldn't react and jumped off their zip lines. They were about to run in another direction when something was thrown at the area where they were standing. Suddenly, the gravitational pull stopped, causing them to float upwards, and of course, the CNS successfully caught it.
