Comprehension Ability: Creating the Five Thunders Technique in Reality-Chapter 1074 - 540: Mysterious Identity (Part 2)

"I'm afraid I'll end up like that too."

He recalled his childhood, the times when Joseph tried everything to bring him food, and the times when Li Congjing and Joseph quietly discussed wanting a child like him.

Of course, later on, they gave up on the idea because they found babies too troublesome.

"You reached out your hand to Auntie Li's subordinate... who else would die if not you?" Black Robe turned and left, leaving those cold words behind.

He was Joseph's ultimate weapon!

At this moment, Rick's wife and daughter had already been rescued by him and his subordinates and were escaping this place.

Black Robe did not plan to chase after them, nor did he intend to look for Li Congjing. He planned to visit the place where Joseph died and to bury Rick's body in the place where he had lurked for many years.

He crushed his cellphone, not caring how many people tonight's events would affect, after all, the two people he regarded as parents were madmen...

He began to laugh, his laughter filled with complex and indescribable emotions.

Meanwhile, Lin Beichen and Xia Luyao were hiding in a bush, controlling the paperman to have a conversation, unaware that this mysterious mastermind had quietly taken his final bow.

At the entrance of the base, Joe's body was nailed to the wall. Lin Beichen didn't know Joe, but he felt the scene was bloody and inhumane. If Flying Eagle and the others were to see Joe, who used to guide them, dead, they would probably feel even more emotional.

"Is there anything special about the person nailed to the wall?"

Lin Beichen looked at Joe's body and asked those who were still alive.

Now, only one of the three command leaders is still alive, so Five naturally took over to answer, "He betrayed us and also betrayed Lord Joseph."

Then Five detailed how Joe infiltrated the area where Flying Eagle and the others were being held, trying to release them.

Lin Beichen felt somewhat puzzled upon hearing this—he hadn't expected the mysterious person's plan to be thwarted so easily, nor had he expected the mysterious person to die so silently...

"Only Lord Joseph, Miss Li Congjing, and Joe knew the place where your friends were held." Five continued, "When we discovered his actions had become mysterious, we sent two veterans to follow him."

Lin Beichen was surprised by the mystery of Kaisen's place, and at the same time, he was wary of it.

"Can you bring my friends out now?" Lin Beichen asked, ready for the worst outcome—that Five might also be one of the mysterious person's men.

However, to his surprise, Five was not one of the mysterious person's people but a subordinate of Joseph and Li Congjing.

Back then, Joseph and Li Congjing, after visiting the deceased man, had imitated the way his twelve bodyguards were named to create their own team of subordinates, which included Five here.

Of course, of those initial twelve, few remain...

"We discovered him before he could take action and killed him." Five replied.

"That's why we couldn't find where your friends were held and naturally couldn't bring them out."

Upon hearing this, Lin Beichen actually breathed a sigh of relief and said, "No problem, I know where Kaisen is, you just need to let me in now."

"Kaisen?" Five was momentarily puzzled and then realized that this name was probably the place where Flying Eagle and others were imprisoned.

The hostility in his heart surged like a tide after hearing this: "What have you done to Miss Li Congjing?"

Lin Beichen noticed that Five seemed unaware of his relationship with Li Congjing and was about to explain.

However, a sudden loud noise shook everyone present.

In the glow of the firelight, Lin Beichen watched Five's face closely, seeing a mix of surprise and a trace of fear.

Clearly, this explosion was beyond Five's expectations.

Hiding in the woods, Xia Luyao saw Lin Beichen's face change suddenly and connected it to the deafening noise, instantly understanding.

"Did those people attack you?" Xia Luyao asked worriedly.

"No." Lin Beichen shook his head, "At least not the one leading them."

The unknown enemy is the most terrifying.

Xia Luyao did not witness what happened inside the cave, she knew any speculation on her part would be futile.

So, she asked a different question: "What should we do next?"

Lin Beichen rubbed his tense brow, feeling an indescribable annoyance in his heart. He lowered his body as if trying to merge with the woods.

"Since the enemy has not yet appeared, we should not be in a hurry to reveal ourselves." Lin Beichen's eyes narrowed into a line as if deep in thought.

Xia Luyao silently nodded, not saying another word to disturb him.

As the distant flames gradually dimmed, Lin Beichen lightly tossed out two talismans.

One made the other invisible, and the other could transmit the nearby scene to them both.

Xia Luyao naturally understood the importance of maintaining silence at this time.

A moment later, a light screen appeared before them, visible only to the two of them.

The light screen displayed the horrifying scene in front of the base gates.

A pit of corpses, most of which were dismembered limbs.

This sight slightly reassured Lin Beichen; even if someone came to investigate, recognizing their bodies would be difficult.

About ten minutes passed, and Lin Beichen and Xia Luyao, being professionally trained, naturally knew to remain calm at this critical moment.

However, those who thought they had the upper hand couldn't hold back.

A few people came out, with relaxed expressions on their faces.

"Honestly, our boss is just too cautious," a young-looking man said with a smile.

"Indeed overly cautious," another person agreed, "but there's always a reason to be cautious, isn't there?" 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

An aquiline-nosed man crouched down, stroking the blown-off limbs.

The others saw this and involuntarily closed their mouths. Although they were nominally of the same rank, if they were to really compete with the aquiline-nosed man...

They secretly considered backing down.

The aquiline-nosed man stood up, a persistent gloom in his brows: "They're all truly dead."

Then, he fell into silence. Only then did the others dare to slightly relax.

"Honestly, I can't think of any way those two could escape," the young man broke the silence once more.

The others nodded in agreement.

"By the way, weren't there supposed to be a lot of people coming this time?" The young man seemed like a chatterbox, bringing up a new topic.

The aquiline-nosed man coldly interjected: "Indeed, there were people before, but they all became cannon fodder later."

The group fell silent again, clearly having a sense of fear for the aquiline-nosed man.

The aquiline-nosed man, however, didn't care about their thoughts, just muttering to himself, "But those are just cannon fodder."

His words made the others more wary of him. Yet he merely turned his head, calmly saying, "You all just stay here."

Upon hearing this, a soldier hesitated for a long time before finally mustering the courage to retort: "We're of the same rank, why should we listen to you?" The aquiline-nosed man was silent for a moment before he laughed.

"Listen to you?" he repeated, with a hint of amusement in his tone, "The same rank?" he repeated again, then fell silent.

After a while, he turned away, no longer looking at them, and walked straight towards the depths of the base.

Lin Beichen lost track of the aquiline-nosed man, but he judged from the few words he had heard that the man's identity was anything but simple.

He reassured Xia Luyao beside him, signaling her to stay calm and watch a bit longer for any remaining enemies.

The remaining junior officers looked at each other, none daring to chase after the aquiline-nosed man.

The aquiline-nosed man's gloomy image had left a deep impression on them,
