Comprehension Ability: Creating the Five Thunders Technique in Reality-Chapter 1073 - 540: The Mysterious Identity

"What are you thinking about?" Xia Luyao glanced at Lin Beichen beside her, asking curiously.

Lin Beichen pondered for a moment and replied, "I'm wondering what purpose this person has, and why they want us to come to this place."

Xia Luyao turned her head, scrutinized Lin Beichen, and said, "They just want us to hand over those badges. The purpose should be the badges, right? Are you suspecting they have ulterior motives?"

The two walked at a leisurely pace, as if taking a stroll, so they didn't feel out of breath while speaking.

Lin Beichen didn't directly answer Xia Luyao's question but gradually sorted out a line of thought in his mind.

At the same time, Xia Luyao also began to re-evaluate the target of this mission because of Lin Beichen's words.

She shook her head, trying to dispel the confusion in her heart, then openly said, "If badges aren't their real target, then what they want is probably something on us."

Lin Beichen suddenly spoke, assertively saying, "I can now confirm that badges are definitely not what they want."

Xia Luyao gave Lin Beichen a puzzled look but ultimately chose to trust his judgment.

She thought for a moment, then laughed and said, "Since they're not after the badges, then what they want must be something on us. I think you must have already guessed what it is, right?"

Lin Beichen nodded and said in a deep voice, "That's right, it can only be our lives."

These words plunged both of them into silence.

They involuntarily stopped walking and looked at each other.

Xia Luyao couldn't contain her curiosity anymore and asked, "Lin Beichen, how did you figure out that person wasn't after the badges?"

Lin Beichen stared into Xia Luyao's eyes and slowly uttered a few words, "There's a logical contradiction."

As he spoke, he produced some paper.

While fiddling with the paper, Lin Beichen explained, "If he truly needed those badges, then those who infiltrated the base to kidnap Flying Eagle and the others could have easily taken them. But they didn't do that, indicating that badges aren't their real target."

Xia Luyao suddenly understood, grasping Lin Beichen's meaning.

However, upon seeing Lin Beichen produce paper, an inexplicable sense of familiarity surged in her heart.

This reminded her of the moment when Joseph manipulated a driverless vehicle to crash into her previously.

Before Xia Luyao could finish her sentence, Lin Beichen interrupted her, "I think that person wouldn't assume their subordinates have the power to stop both of us. So, they should be reluctant to let us take action easily."

Although these papermen don't possess the combat strength of the main body, if an emergency arises, they're enough to cover things up.

In another scene, a man looked coldly at the fallen Rick in a pool of blood, tossing the cigarette butt onto his corpse. He sneered and said, "Rick, Rick, how could you truly think my senior brother's arrangement was foolproof?"

In this cruel vortex, Rick was long destined for death.

And the bodyguard who just killed Rick stood respectfully by the man's side. Though he looked respectful, his eyes behind the sunglasses were empty and soulless.

He was one of the many bodyguards the man had brainwashed and cultivated since childhood, but by no means the most outstanding one.

The man repeated, "Rick, Rick, the senior brother is indeed quite capable..." His eyes occasionally glanced at the encrypted phone screen, conveying the latest news.

He looked at the phone's content, his face gradually darkening, and then said to the bodyguard behind him, "Three, go assist those people over there."

The bodyguard bowed respectfully and then turned away.

But just as he turned to leave, a figure descended from the sky.

This was a mysterious person dressed in a black robe, with a hat and a pure black mask.

Let's call them Black Robe for now.

Black Robe looked coldly at the man and said, "Lord Joseph initially wanted you to live."

The man's expression changed dramatically upon hearing this—the pressure this mysterious figure brought him far surpassed Rick!

Previously, to capture Rick, he even mobilized nine Deadpools and lost two, and now only one hidden close Deadpool remained beside him, far incapable of contending with the person before him!

Black Robe looked at the already dead Rick, his voice carrying a trace of anger and questioning, "What did Uncle Rick do wrong? Why did you kill him?"

The man could no longer hide his angry emotions, almost roaring, "So what if I killed him? Hasn't Joseph killed anyone? Does he only kill those who deserve it?"

However, Black Robe merely looked at him coldly and laughed, "It seems this is the legendary double standard."

He paused for a moment before adding, "I'm talking about myself."

This sent a chill down the man's spine.

These words were so similar to what Rick had said before!

This person was surely not here earlier, but why could they utter the same words as Rick? Is it coincidence? Is it similar values? Ultimately, why?

At this moment, the man suddenly felt his delay tactics were utterly futile.

And it indeed was futile.

With a "bang," the man fell before Black Robe's gun.

Black Robe stood silently in front of the man's corpse for a while, then said, "Do you know why I hate you?"

Naturally, he received no response, but he didn't need one.

He continued, "You turned each of us into something neither human nor ghost, if not for Lord Joseph..." His words revealed a trace of sadness and anger.
