Analyzing the current situation...
A plan gradually formed in his mind.
At the same time.
Looking at the deathly silence outside the cave, with no movement at all, Hu Nodun had a moment of doubt in himself.
Could it be...
His guess was wrong?
However, it was only for a moment.
The next instant.
He blocked out this thought, telling himself: Regardless of whether the guess is correct or not, finish the countdown first.
"One!!!"
"Stop!"
Before Hu Nodun’s words fell, Lin Beichen’s voice burst out from the darkness.
In an instant, Hu Nodun and Yahan looked towards the sound.
Under their gaze.
From the darkness of the distant mountain forest, a figure slowly walked step by step.
"Crack—"
"Crack—"
"..."
The sound of branches and dried grass breaking underfoot was clear and unmistakable.
Lin Beichen walked out from the darkness holding the Thunder Tribulation Sword, his eyes fixed on Hu Nodun and Yahan, his gaze icy, devoid of any emotion, as if looking at two dead men.
"It’s really you?!"
Seeing Lin Beichen, Yahan immediately reacted.
Thinking of his own embarrassment just now...
He felt both ashamed and hatred toward Lin Beichen. If it weren’t for this kid’s trickery, he wouldn’t have made such a fool of himself!
For a moment, he looked at Lin Beichen with eyes that seemed to shoot flames.
Beside him, Hu Nodun said nothing, but inwardly, he breathed a huge sigh of relief.
When he shouted the last count.
He also didn’t know what he would do next if no one came out.
"However..."
"Luckily, the guess was correct."
"This person was indeed forced to come out!"
Hu Nodun aimed his gun at Lin Beichen, eyes narrowing, gaze filled with killing intent, and shouted, "Alright, stand there obediently with your hands on your head, don’t come any closer!"
"..."
Seeing the gun aimed at him, Lin Beichen showed no sign of tension, knowing that the other party wanted to capture him alive, not kill him.
On the contrary, he felt relieved, as long as his mother was not targeted, he would act accordingly. He would make sure the captors would regret trying this!
Everything was still within his expectations and control.
Lin Beichen obediently stopped, stuck the Thunder Tribulation Sword into the ground, put his hands on his head, looking helpless and ready to be manipulated.
Seeing this.
Hu Nodun thought that he had realized the situation and knew that resistance was futile.
A proud expression appeared on his face, and he coldly laughed, "Kid, you finally showed yourself. I thought you didn’t care about your parents’ lives anymore."
As he spoke, he pushed Lin Xiangdong, who he had been holding, to the ground, feeling tired from holding him for so long!
The gun was already aimed at this kid...
How could he possibly cause trouble?
He patted the shoulder of the shaking and cold Yahan next to him and said, "Go bind him, be careful, don’t fall for his tricks."
"Alright, I got it."
The thinking Yahan, despite his hatred for Lin Beichen, was also wary of him, realizing that something was off about him.
Gentlemen take revenge...
Waiting to have him completely controlled was not too late!
Of course, the boss had ordered alive capture.
He wouldn’t kill him, but torturing a bit wouldn’t be fatal!
He walked slowly towards Lin Beichen, already imagining the scene of venting his anger once he had him under control.
Comfortable!
Satisfying!
And as Yahan walked towards Lin Beichen.
Hu Nodun did not stay idle, continuing to ask, "So, you followed Alek to find this place?"
"Yes."
Lin Beichen cooperated with the questioning as much as possible, trying to mislead the opponent into believing he had resigned to his fate.
And his goal was basically achieved.
At least for now...
Both Hu Nodun and Yahan believed so.
With his parents held hostage in their hands, a gun aimed at his head, and he was about to be tied up.
What reason did he have not to give up?
What could he possibly do?
They couldn’t think of any.
Hu Nodun continued to ask, "So, did you kill Alek?"
"Yes."
"Did Alek die the same way as him?"
Hu Nodun pointed to Hadir’s corpse on the ground.
Lin Beichen didn’t hide it, he nodded, admitting, "Same."
Before his words ended.
Yahan had already moved around to his back.
Yahan grabbed Lin Beichen’s wrists, which were on the back of his head, with extreme roughness, without any concealment, intending to break his arms at once.
Lin Beichen felt the pain, but not a word escaped his lips, his gaze grew colder, simultaneously he subtly twisted his wrists, adjusting the direction of his palms.
Yahan mocked, "Oh, a tough guy, huh."
As he spoke, he took out rough nylon rope from his pocket, ready to tie up Lin Beichen.
Hu Nodun knew Yahan was fuming inside and allowed his actions. The order was to capture him alive, not unharmed; as long as he wasn’t dead, it was fine.
At this point, he squinted, confused, and voiced the question that had been on his mind since he saw Lin Beichen: "How did you kill them, what did you use?"
Hu Nodun hadn’t stopped thinking about it.
He had pondered all the devices that could emit electricity...
But couldn’t think of anything that could discharge remotely and with such power to instantly kill!
"I killed them by using..."
Lin Beichen had already adjusted the direction of his palm, which was now facing Yahan’s arm.
Seeing Hu Nodun clearly distracted by his words, his focus wavering, he didn’t hesitate for a moment, immediately channeling Electric Element from his liver to his palm.
