Chapter 199: Suspicious (3rd Watch)
Jessica didn't have time to think about how she was exposed, and the two teams of security guards had already rushed up violently. She picked on a group of security guards in front of her and rushed out diagonally. The first security guard who came up waved down with a stick, and the static electricity stirred up on the electric baton pierced the air, with the sound of whirring wind, and the arm strength seemed to be not small.
Jessica has also undergone a series of combat training after entering the Heavenly Sword, and she no longer only uses brute force to fight hard. She dodged a stick from the security guard, slammed her shoulder, and slammed the security guard down the hallway like a forty-yard truck, knocking down two of his companions behind him. She paused for a moment, then kicked her foot on the wall on the right, jumped up, and struck another security guard in the neck with a knife.
She was trained in power control at Celestial Sword, where she learned to control her strange powers with the utmost precision. Although she can't fully say that she has achieved "free retraction" for the time being, at least what joints she has to aim at and how much force she has to exert to accurately bring down an adult male is no longer a problem.
But unexpectedly, her palm sliced down, and when she hit the other person's neck, she responded with a metal-like solid touch, as if the spine under the security guard's skin was actually made of steel. Her slash was enough to make 80% of normal people faint instantly, but not only did this person not react, but even quickly turned around and took out the stick, dragging the electric current towards her lower abdomen.
Jessica shrank away, but two security guards behind her struck at the same time. She faced a trio of people at the same time, and although she was far more physical, she didn't want to risk the sourness of three times the shock at the same time. She pressed her hand and pressed it on the chest of the security guard in front of her, and as soon as she vomited the strength of her hand, the security guard suddenly flew out in parallel like a roller slide mounted on a slide.
Jessica leaned forward to avoid a stick and followed her right foot back, and another security guard was hooked to the ground.
Although she hadn't learned martial arts before, she had fought a lot, and she barely had accumulated a lot of street experience. After joining Heavenly Sword, she unexpectedly found that she seemed to be quite talented in this area, and her progress in combat was extremely fast, barely reaching the average level of field agents in just one month, and now she could be regarded as a mid-to-upper level master among Heavenly Sword agents.
Three people fell one after another, but these security guards did not back down at all, or even did not seem to show the slightest emotional fluctuation. Their expressions are as rigid as machines, and they attack with electric batons one by one, like puppets remotely controlled by computers, and the only program they have written is to intercept the enemy with all their might.
And their bodily functions are a little bit abnormal. In addition to the steel-like feel of hitting their bodies, the strength and reflexes of these people were also very unusual.
But even if it's real steel, Jessica can still punch it through.
The security teams in front and behind had already finished wrapping up, and they swung their stun batons, and the static electricity crossed her back and forth. There are no dead spots in the encirclement. But Jessica doesn't need any dead spots either, and the sheer power of the crushing level is enough to help her make a gap. She kicked a person in front of her with a single kick, forcibly held two downed electric batons with her arms (still making her teeth snap for a while), and swept the two security guards with a sweep of her arms.
More security guards are pouring in from all directions, quickly joining the fray. Jessica knocked down a dozen people in quick succession while continuing to move down the hallway into the depths.
A security guard in a different uniform joined in, and the stun baton struck her faster and more violently than anyone else. Jessica was caught in the middle of everyone, and she couldn't completely avoid it for a while, and she was hit hard on the shoulder, and she couldn't help but snort, and the tingling sensation of the electric shock spread all over her body along the nerves.
She turned her head alarmingly. It was a tall and thin man, with a face carved out of the same mold as others, and his facial features were featureless, belonging to the type that could not be found again if he was thrown into the sea of people.
But this person's security uniform is different, and the oppressive force brought by it has obviously risen to a level, maybe he is a security supervisor or something.
Jessica elbowed a security guard next to her in the face, causing the guy to hit half of his body against the wall. She carefully jumped back to dodge the tall and thin man, then reached out and grabbed his wrist, which threatened to break his wrist with a single spit out.
This guy's wrist bone is unexpectedly strong, but it can't resist Jessica's strange force after all. When the crunch of splintering came out of the other person's wrist, Jessica felt as if she had crushed a bunch of circuit boards.
She punched the tall, lanky man in the face, knocking him to the ground and not moving.
This is the last one. She rubbed her aching shoulders and squatted down to examine them. The tall, thin man's forehead had been shattered by her strange force, and the skin seemed to have been burned through, and the crack was charred black. It appeared to be some kind of metal structure, but it was also destroyed, and electric sparks were pulsing.
It's a robot.
Jessica frowned. Although she didn't know what kind of "suspicious place" her boss wanted her to come to, she was sure that a robot in human skin was definitely suspicious enough to act as a security guard.
The sirens were still echoing in the hallway, and the infiltration plan had obviously fallen through, but since they had already reached this point, it was clear that they couldn't just go back. She turned two corners to the office belonging to Mr. Wallis himself, pulled the lock and walked in.
Desks, office chairs, filing cabinets, all but that was a huge office was empty. On the table was an ordinary-looking computer, and next to it was a stack of documents that seemed to have never been looked through. Jessica scrutinized it with her excellent detective skills, and she could hardly believe that she hadn't found the slightest bit of information about the room's owner.
Generally speaking, when entering a common place such as a person's home or office, Jessica can always see the person's personality habits or some other characteristics through various clues. But here she could see nothing, and there was not the slightest indication of what kind of man this Mr. Wallis was...... No, there wasn't even any sign of anyone using it in this office before.
Jessica looked through the documents, they were all routine company matters, and there was nothing noteworthy about the content, but it seemed that no one had read them before. Then she turned on her computer and connected directly to the console with the multi-function watch that Skysword had issued to her—this would allow her to bypass the password. When she accessed the computer, she was disappointed to find that it didn't seem to have anything interesting to look at, just documents related to routine business.
But there was a strange thing that caught her attention, and perhaps it should be called suspicious.
She checked all the documents, both electronic and paper, even the transactions in Mr. Wallis's private life and the registration information for some websites. She found that she could not find a second photo of Harry Wallis, let alone any of his family or relatives, other than the one that had been entered into her profile.
Jessica Jones suddenly understood something.
Employees in the office react aggressively to strange visitors, machine security guards in human skins, and then there's the company CEO with a mysterious identity and vague information......
She seemed to know what the company was all about.
