Entangled: Crisscross Chapter 15

"What is happening?" Xu Je'er couldn't help but asked the person sitting next to her. "What is going on?"
"This miss… I also don't know. I think they will only show us the screen once they started attacking." The man sitting next to her answered. "But that Sear Zhang is really brave to challenge a professional team like that. I heard that Double Dragon is the city champion last year. They are very ruthless when it comes to attacking their opponents too!"
"Ah? But — But didn't they lose terribly during the regionals? They don't sound too scary at all!"
"Of course they would lose! They are against prominent universities from the capital! You really are ignorant. The top three universities in the region were too scary back then! However, this doesn't mean that they aren't good. It's just that the top universities are better than them and they have the money to hire experts too!"
Je'er snorted in response. Good? Then if they are good, Sera was better! No… Sera should be the best! A smug smile appeared on her face as she watched her mortal enemy. From where she was, she could actually see what Sera was doing however, she doesn't understand anything about it. All she saw was her fast fingers flying to the keyboard.
After a few minutes, the announcer finally informed them that they can now start attacking their enemy. Then the huge screen showed everything that Sera and her opponent were doing.
"Huh? What is she doing?"
"Why isn't she attacking?"
Xu Je'er frowned when she heard the surrounding people started whispering.
"Hey, what is going on?" she asked. Aside from social media, Xu Je'er was not really good when it comes to computers. In fact, even all of her college projects before were made by Sera.

"I don't know! The other person… the woman from the Double Dragon is not attacking her opponent."
"Huh?"
"Oh, I know look! She is defending! She isn't attacking simply because she can't!"
Xu Je'er immediately nodded in approval. Ah, it seems that she actually hugged the right thigh! Sera Zhang would never disappoint as long as money is involved! She immediately turned excited. While she couldn't understand what was happening on the screen, she could see both Sera and her opponent from the stage. While Sera still had that bland face, the opponent actually looked pale!
"It's done! Miss Zhang broke through the defense!"
"That was fast. I guess two minutes?"
"One and thirty seconds," Xu Je'er said. She had been eying the huge timer on top of the screen, so she clearly knew the time. "She beat the woman in one minute and thirty seconds!"
A few gasps echoed around her. It made Xu Je'er smile. She lifted her chin and looked in her enemy's direction. Heh, Double Dragon? Can you really beat the top university's top computer science student?
After it was announced that Sera already won, the people watching started getting noisy again, some were obviously surprised and amazed that she was able to beat the top team in this City. Moreover, she did it in about two minutes!
"I heard this woman is a trainee. So it's reasonable that her skills were not as good as the professional players."
"In fact, aside from young master Feng, the rest of the members today are trainees. All of them are inexperienced!"
"Ah? Is that so? Then that Miss Zhang just got lucky! Let's wait for her to lose against Master Feng."
The people talking just now were staff, and they are talking just a few feet next to Sera. Naturally, she heard their words too. Sera shrugged inwardly. Trainees or not, she was only here for the money.

"Alright, next?" Sera looked at the people opposite her. "Six more people to go. Please hurry up, I am a bit hungry."
"You — " A man with thick eyeglasses spoke. "That was only lucky! Little Sister Guan had an upset stomach just now so she wasn't able to concentrate!"
"Oh. What does it have to do with me?" Sera asked. "Are you going to talk all day? Or fight?"
"You— "
"Alright, enough." Feng Xiaotan uttered grimly. "Let's not stoop down to her level. This should serve as a lesson to everyone. Be careful when you are about to go to a competition. Don't eat any greasy food. Be careful. Alright, Xiao Er, you go. This time, I want you to focus on your defense." Even if Feng Xiaotan is a very prideful person, he knows how to accept that some people are actually better than him. However, he refused to believe that this little girl is one of them. In his mind, Sera must have planned everything carefully earlier. She was a university graduate, so it's not surprising that she knew a little bit.
However, these kids that he accompanied now were all trained and even went to university specifically for cybersecurity. How could a mere nobody beat them?
"Yes, boss!"
However, Feng Xiaotan's previous assumption was shattered once again when Sera defeated the second person. Just like earlier, she only used more than a minute to hack into Xiao Er's firewall. This Sera even went as much as hacking into the computer and sending a message to Xiao Er. The message only contained some numbers.
2-0
Xiao Er almost burst into tears. Despite being a man, he was still seventeen! He looked at Feng Xiaotan's dark expression. "Boss…"
"I know… it's not your fault. This is— "
"Next!" Sera's voice echoed towards them. "Hurry up! I am hungry!"
"…"
"…"
"So overbearing! Now that I think about it, this woman is actually very pretty!"
"How come I haven't heard of her before?"
Sera just stared at Feng Xiaotan as she ignored all the words buzzing in her head. She really wanted some hotpot right now. Seeing that Feng Xiaotan ignored her and actually started lecturing the person she defeated just now, Sera sighed. They are actually given a five-minute break after every game.
With this in mind, she opened her phone and sent a text.
"Hey, I am about to win some money. Do you want to have dinner with me?" She pressed send and didn't wait for Cross to reply. He probably won't reply, after all, he was a very busy person.
The vibration on her phone made her smile. Did that man reply? She immediately opened her WeChat app and frowned when she saw it was just a message from one of her weather update subscriptions.

Terminal
My heart was shattered that day. It was on that day that I realized that life had an end, and that mine was coming. It was on that day that I realized that I was going to die. Leukemia, they told me. It's almost over. I didn't know what to do after that. I thought that maybe it would be best to die right then, get it over with. I thought that I could push myself away from all my friends, all my family, stop them from missing me after I was gone. I thought that I could handle it on my own, that perhaps the world was better off without me. I was wrong. So please help me, I'm dying. Save me, I'm falling. They tell me I won't survive. Please catch me, because if you don't, I'll shatter. I can't grab on anymore, I can't keep fighting. It's going to swallow me up. My name is Alyssa Gray, and by the time you finish reading this, I'll be dead. ________________________________ A few warnings and things to note: -I've put up the tramatising content tag due to a lot of mentions on death, dying, illness, and a mother who tends to be rather cruel. I know that I take a perspective that many will strongly disagree with, and I'm okay with that. Just be warned that this isn't lighthearted stuff. This is real, and death is real, and this part streaches beyond the fiction into reality. -I'm going to say a minor spoiler, but I don't want it to take you unaware because it is something to be aware of. At one point, my MC attempts suicide and fails. It's a very violent scene and I will put up the gore tag after writing this, and it's also just really depressing. If this will be triggering, you need to be aware of this before you read it. -This is a christian book. It may go against some of your beliefs. I hope that you can read and comment anyway even if some of it does not sit well with you. Credits for the cover go to the user 'Media in Sanity'. Your help and assitance has meant so much to me, God bless you in your writing and your endevours. A proud member of WriTE. I've promised to finish this fiction and update it at least once a month. My schedule is very irregular, and I'm working on that, but I'm going to do everything I can to make sure that this book stays out there. I'm not ending it until it's done.
