Comprehension against the sky, creating the Five Thunders in the real world

"It has been such a long, long time since we last saw each other."

At this point, he suddenly became somewhat excited.

"You know what? I've been really worried about you lately, afraid that something might go wrong."

Lin Beichen frowned silently.

"Actually, I'm fine. Although I was sent to deal with that young master's problem, look at me now, I'm back unharmed, aren't I?"

"You're right."

Upon hearing Lin Beichen's words, he burst into a cheerful smile.

"In that case, let's relax this time."

At this point, his gaze became serious.

"I've already arranged a private room at the hotel. We'll go there and enjoy ourselves. What do you think?"

"Okay."

Lin Beichen nodded decisively, picked up his bag, and walked inside.

Not long after, Randy, Li Xiao, and Lin Beichen arrived at the door of the hotel room they had booked.

"You've chosen a pretty good hotel."

Lin Beichen smiled slightly.

"This place looks just like a bed and breakfast."

"To be precise, it seems to be a guesthouse-themed hotel. But to be fair, the items they provide are very everyday and relaxing."

At this point, Randy leaned back on the sofa and picked up a book to slowly read through it.

"These kinds of hotels are rare, so if you come across one, you should cherish it."

"Yes."

Lin Beichen nodded in agreement.

"These kinds of things really should be cherished."

Are you two thirsty? If so, I'll go and get you some water.

"sorry to bother you."

At this point, Randy smiled gently at Li Xiao, who then opened the door and walked out.

"He seems quite sensible."

Lin Beichen spoke to Randy, who was standing next to him.

"However, I don't know how your cooperation is going, or whether you are still satisfied with him."

"Oh, if I had to say I'm satisfied, I am quite satisfied with him."

Randy nodded decisively at this point.

"After all, he is a very capable subordinate. He can basically handle the tasks I assign properly, so I have always had a good opinion of him. But to be honest, Li Xiao is still too reckless. Sometimes when I send him to do something, if he is too anxious, he is prone to messing up some ordinary tasks."

"But to be honest, I can understand him. After all, I went through the same process, I was a new recruit just like him."

At this point, he smiled gently.

"Since you're a newcomer, you'll always encounter these kinds of problems."

"You're right."

Lin Beichen was immediately filled with emotion.

"Back then, we were all individuals striving to survive as new recruits."

"To be honest, I really miss our time, but some people might not miss it as much."

At this point, Lin Beichen burst into laughter.

"After all, you have to understand that some things that are easy for us may not be so wonderful for others."

"Yes."

Lin Beichen nodded silently.

"But there's nothing we can do about it, since everyone is different. What happens to you isn't always up to one person. But to be honest, I really admire Li Xiao. He's achieved so many good results when his teammates weren't performing well. Honestly, he's done a great job."

"Yes."

Upon hearing Lin Beichen's assessment, Randy immediately nodded in understanding.

"And he's much stronger than Zhang Xiao."

Randy got a little angry when he heard that.

"Honestly, the Zhang Xiao incident is a stain on my career, and I'll never forget it for the rest of my life."...

"You still remember him?"

At this point, Lin Beichen casually shrugged, his expression carrying a hint of emotion.

"There's no way I could forget him; he was such a convincing undercover agent.

At this point, Randy pursed his lips somewhat unhappily.

"I think you understand the specifics."

"Of course I understand, but ultimately my understanding is limited."

"So, Zhang Xiao should still be with them right now, right?"

"No, he's dead."

At this point, Lin Beichen casually waved to the man beside him.

"What? He's dead? You're kidding me."

Randy looked at Lin Beichen with disbelief.

"How could he just suddenly be gone?"

"Yeah, he brought it on himself and got himself killed."

At this point, Lin Beichen pondered seriously for a moment.

For a moment, I couldn't find any suitable words to describe Zhang Xiao.

"To put it simply, he initially wanted to report me, but unexpectedly, the report failed, and Li Xiao dealt with him directly, so that was the end of it."

"So that's what happened."

After listening to Lin Beichen's brief explanation.

Randy was completely speechless.

"However, I think this is also his own fault. After all, he has done something wrong and he cannot escape his fate today because of his long-term nonsense."

"Yes."

Lin Beichen nodded casually.

"But to be honest, I don't think he was too bad. After all, as a mercenary, he did a pretty good job. It's a pity we didn't have the chance to recruit him. Otherwise, he might still be serving us now."

"Oh, sir, please don't say that. Taking this kind of person under your command would be like asking for trouble. I'm not going to do something so stupid."

Seeing his words, Lin Beichen almost subconsciously gave him a look, letting him understand on his own.

As soon as Lin Beichen cast that look at him, Randy immediately realized his slip of the tongue and quickly apologized to Lin Beichen.

"I meant no offense by saying this."

At this point, he immediately lowered his head and respectfully admitted his mistake to Lin Beichen.

"I think he does have some use, but not much."

"I think so."

Lin Beichen nodded casually.

"In any case, let's try not to mention him in the base. I wonder if others are aware of Zhang Xiao's espionage this time."

"They don't know yet."

Randy shook his head at this point.

“I didn’t tell them the truth. I only said that Zhang Xiao had an accident, and I didn’t mention anything else.”

"It's better not to tell them."

Lin Beichen nodded casually.

"If they knew Zhang Xiao was a spy, the trouble they would cause would be unimaginable. I would rather they never know, so that I might be able to live a slightly easier life."

"Yes."

Upon hearing Lin Beichen's words, Randy immediately nodded in agreement.

"Gentlemen, the drinks have been brought."

Just as Randy and Lin Beichen were talking.

Li Xiao strolled in slowly from the side.

He looked at Lin Beichen and the other person gently, his eyes as friendly as a lamb's.

"Li Xiao!"

When he saw Li Xiao coming over, Randy quickly greeted him.

"what's wrong?"

Seeing Randy's reaction, Li Xiao frowned and turned around, puzzled. "Is there something important you need from me?"

"This matter is neither a big deal nor a small one."

Randy immediately started keeping Li Xiao in suspense.

"But this matter may overlap with certain situations in the future, so I really need your opinion."

"Please just say it."

Seeing Randy's expression, Li Xiao immediately became anxious.

"If you have anything to say, just tell me directly. I've never liked guessing other people's riddles, nor do I have the brains to do it."

"Oh, since you put it that way, that makes things much easier."

At this point, Randy slapped his thigh and said to Li Xiao very decisively.

"Tell us how you dealt with Zhang Xiao."

"That day I was confronting Zhang Xiao."

After a moment of contemplation, Li Xiao began to recall Zhang Xiao's various actions.

"Actually, I knew that someone's identity had been exposed over there, so I wanted to go back as soon as possible. But I didn't expect Zhang Xiao to get there before me. I definitely couldn't stand that."

"So all I wanted to do was escape as quickly as possible."

"But what I didn't expect was that Zhang Xiao anticipated my actions long before I did, so he specially sent people to lie in wait for me there. Fortunately, I reacted quickly enough in the end."

"Luckily, he didn't kill me, otherwise the situation would have been incredibly troublesome."...

Seeing that he had said that, the two people present both cast sympathetic glances at Li Xiao.

"No wonder, no wonder you were in such a hurry to tell me you were leaving."

"There's nothing I can do, sir."

At this point, Li Xiao scratched his head regretfully.

"Actually, I didn't intend to fall out with Zhang Xiao, but things have developed to that point, and if we don't break up now, I feel it would be inexcusable."

"That's what you said."

He nodded decisively, and his expression immediately became extremely calm.

"In short, I will remember this matter. You can rest assured from now on. If any emergency occurs, I will try to help you solve it, and I will naturally cover up this matter for you."

At this point, he gently patted the shoulder of the person next to him.

"Don't worry, he's just a traitor. He's dead, so be it. Nobody cares about him."

Upon hearing his words, the man almost instantly calmed down.

"I was worried about this just now, but after hearing that he is a dead man, I am no longer worried."

At this point, he smiled gently.

"Then I think I don't need to worry about some things anymore."

"Ah."

At this point, the man next to him immediately nodded in agreement.

"You just need to focus on your own work. As for his affairs, I really think you don't need to worry about them anymore. Just leave them to us."

"By the way, since that's the case, will there be similar dispatch missions in the future?"

At this point, he looked curiously at the two people in front of him and asked.

"I remember you guys used to have dispatch missions, but I'm not so sure about now."

"Uh, this..."

Lin Beichen looked to Randy for help.

"No, no, the dispatch missions have basically all been handled by the superiors."

At this point, he briefly recalled the events.

"In a couple of days, there might be a new assignment, but by then it will probably be someone else working with your superior, not you and your superior."

"I understand."

Upon hearing this, the man nodded in understanding.

"Then I will enjoy this moment to the fullest."

At this point, he immediately smiled and looked at Lin Beichen with a serious expression.

"I believe Lin Beichen must have enjoyed this moment quite a bit."

"That's natural."

Lin Beichen nodded affirmatively from the side.

"To be honest, I quite enjoy being with you guys."

"Then you should get some rest."

That night, Randy, Lin Beichen, and the others stayed at the small hotel to rest.

As for other matters, Lin Beichen and Randy temporarily set them aside and ignored them.

However, just as the group was taking a break,

Suddenly, a strange noise came from the entrance of the inn.

"strangeness."

Lin Beichen frowned silently and asked Randy and Li Xiao beside him.

"Did you two hear any strange rustling sounds just now?"

At this point, Lin Beichen focused his attention once again and listened intently outside.

Besides these sounds that kept lingering in my ears, there seemed to be a woman screaming.

But there don't seem to be any women here.

Thinking of this, Lin Beichen frowned silently.

Has something else gone wrong?

"If there's any noise outside, sir, how about I go out with you to take a look?"

At this point, the person next to Lin Beichen immediately spoke to him without hesitation.

“It just so happens that I’m a bit bored here. Why don’t we go together and take a look? Maybe we can get more relevant clues.”

"You're right. In that case, let's set off."

Lin Beichen nodded decisively and quickly led Li Xiao to the side.

The two had barely walked to the side when they heard the rustling sound again.

“There is definitely a sound here.”

Lin Beichen decisively spoke to Li Xiao in front of him.

"But to be honest, something about this noise doesn't seem quite right."

At this point, Lin Beichen silently frowned.

"Yes, I think so too. And the strangest thing is that there are clearly no people around, but the noise just keeps going on and on."

"Sir, what are your thoughts on this matter?"

"I don't have many specific ideas at the moment."

At this point, Lin Beichen shook his head.

"I just hope we don't run into anything particularly troublesome. As for the rest, I can't be bothered with it."

"Yes."

Seeing that Lin Beichen didn't want to cause any more trouble, Li Xiao, who was standing next to him, immediately nodded in understanding.

Outside the hotel corridor, a torrential downpour was underway.

The rain pattered against the glass, the noise causing Lin Beichen to unconsciously furrow his brow.

"This sound is really noisy."

Li Xiao, standing to the side, looked around with slight dissatisfaction.

"To be honest, the noise in this environment is making my ears uncomfortable."

At this point, he plugged his ears with his fingers and said to Lin Beichen.

"And for some reason, I feel like the atmosphere here has become a bit off. Have you had a similar feeling?"

At this point, he silently frowned.

"A little, but not too strong."

Lin Beichen nodded casually to the side.

"After all, the atmosphere here is indeed strange. Not only can't we see a single living person, but everything around us is also unusually quiet. This does make me a little suspicious."

"But in any case, I don't think anything serious will happen."

At this point, he pointed to the front desk, which was still lit up.

"Look, sir, the lights at the front desk over there seem to be still on." (End of Chapter)
