A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1327

Sheldon seemed to anticipate his next move, torn between giving his consent and harboring apprehensions. Eventually, after a few seconds of hesitation, he decisively nodded in agreement, "Follow me."

Bernard, ignoring his blood-soaked wounds, rose to his feet and followed Sheldon into the control room.

Once seated at the operator's desk, he began swiftly altering the program based on the coding on the controller.

His long, well-proportioned fingers, stained with blood, danced across the keyboard, hammering out the code.

Sheldon alternated between glancing at the screen and checking the time.

"We've got 10 minutes before 1-2 return to the control room in District A." During this timeframe, the duo was typically in the control room in District B.

His time management was extremely strict. Where he spent each interval and what task he undertook had been meticulously planned.

Unless there were exceptional circumstances, he would not deviate from his schedule, nor would he waste even a second of their time.

"Once he return to the control room and discover you've altered the program, then..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Bernard had rewritten the chip controlling his mind.

First, he deactivated the tracking system, then the eavesdropping feature, and with lightning speed, reprogrammed the self-destruction function.

Mr. Quartus, who had been staring at the screen, blinked in disbelief, sizing Bernard up and down. No wonder both 1-1 and 1-2 were reluctant to kill him... Turned out this man was quite capable.

Even though he couldn't completely deactivate the self-destruction program, limiting it to half an hour was a remarkable feat.

After completing all this, he began to write another set of codes that Mr. Quartus couldn't make sense of.

"What are you up to?"

Bernard didn't respond to Mr. Quartus. Once he finished his operation, he hid the controller on himself.

Seeing him remain silent, Mr. Quartus didn't press him further, merely looking at his wristwatch.
