After finishing, Helena bit into the hidden poison in her tooth.
Lin Beichen seemed to sense something, and immediately pulled her from behind, trying to stop her, but he was too late.
The poison had already been swallowed by Helena!
"Why did you have to do this?"
"You’re no threat to me, I didn’t want to kill you!"
Lin Beichen held Helena’s forehead with his right hand, feeling regretful. He had hoped to get some information about the origin of the assassins from her. However, as she said, there might be something held against them by the organization that made them afraid to speak.
And this handle is likely the matter or person she cares about most, making her prefer death rather than revealing any useful information.
It is clear that this organization is very strict, even more so than Lin Beichen imagined!
"Damn, why didn’t you say so earlier!"
Helena looked at Lin Beichen in shock, desperately wanting to strangle him. If she had known earlier, she wouldn’t have swallowed the poison!
However, the severe pain from her abdomen made it impossible for her to act. Her mind was filled only with regret, and then blood started to flow from her throat. Her perception of the surroundings became increasingly blurry, as if she was about to fall asleep.
Suddenly, Lin Beichen sensed someone approaching!
Although their actions were very secretive, Lin Beichen still perceived them. But strangely, his body’s instinctive reaction did not trigger a danger warning!
This made him slowly place Helena on the ground and choose to squat in a nearby bush to observe.
Sure enough, a group of 16 people dressed in snow-white combat uniforms approached, more than a dozen infrared beams shot from their hands, indicating they were aiming devices on their guns, and they wore infrared night vision devices. Their equipment was very advanced!
As they got closer, Lin Beichen originally wanted to judge their identity from their clothing or some iconic items but failed!
These people had no military insignia on their arms, nor any nation’s emblem attached!
Moreover, they were armed to the teeth, even their skin color couldn’t be discerned!
"So concealed!? Could it be another team of assassins?"
"Is the target still me!?!?"
Lin Beichen was shocked, suspecting whether he had stumbled into the assassins’ lair, with wave after wave coming to him!
He had just dealt with Helena’s team, and now another team comes!
"They don’t look like the Divine Light Country’s armed forces! On their home soil, there’s no need to omit insignia on their arms!"
That is the most direct way to identify a military unit, like a unit number, representing a kind of honor. After all, people have some vanity and a longing for honor.
"What kind of organization are they???"
"If they are not the local military force of the Divine Light Country, to be armed to such an extent in another country, such power is extraordinary!"
Lin Beichen murmured to himself, estimating that his cultivation on Jingli Mountain likely caught the attention of some countries!
As the group cautiously approached the location of the Kendia assassins’ bodies.
"Captain, captain, I have a discovery here!"
"I have a discovery here too!"
"Me too!"
"What did you find? Is it a body?"
Team members reported consecutively, and Xin Yu also made a discovery in front of him.
Several bodies lay on the ground, their death scenes looking very horrific!
Seasoned warriors, licking blood from the knife’s edge, have seen all kinds of scenes, but today’s sight was unprecedented!
Their heads looked like they had been roasted by something, the flesh turned to ashes, leaving only eerie skulls!
Even stranger, the bodies did not burn together, only the heads!
And it’s not just one body!
A total of more than ten corpses, all the same death method!
"Time is tight, quickly confirm whether the target’s identity is present!"
Xin Yu pressed the communicator to give instructions to the team, then looked at the corpses, a cold sweat forming on his forehead.
"Report, unable to confirm!"
"Report, all bodies have head bones only, unable to identify!"
"Report, here is a female corpse! Her head is intact! Still has weak breathing!"
Following the messages from the communicator, Xin Yu came to the female corpse, lowered himself to check her pulse and then her breath.
"She took poison!"
Finally, Xin Yu concluded.
The signs before him made him think deeply.
The gunshots indeed came from this direction, but judging by the clothes and body composition other than the heads, all were over thirty years old.
Not matching the target’s age!
Strangely, despite the intense gunfire, no one on site seemed to have died from gunshot wounds!
The only exception was the female corpse, but she took poison!
This puzzled Xin Yu, unable to make an accurate judgment momentarily.
So he issued a request through the communicator to Zou Ming.
"Commander Zou, encountered a special situation!"
"What situation?" Zou Ming immediately became serious.
Xin Yu explained the situation encountered at Jingli Mountain’s peak to Zou Ming.
After listening, Zou Ming entered a brief contemplation, combining the previous content communicated by Song Xiangdong, knowing Lin Beichen had some extraordinary skills, and made a judgment.
"It’s likely this kid’s doing. Try to reveal your identity, he might be nearby!"
"Yes!"
Xin Yu responded, then looked around. Aside from the tall grass, it was indeed suitable for hiding!
Plus, not having any identifying marks because they were performing undercover tasks in another country, purposely removed all identification traits.
Thinking, Xin Yu decided on a few phrases that could indicate their identity, and immediately shouted:
"Heaven King covers the earth tiger! Pagoda suppresses river demon!"
"Emperor guards the kingdom’s gate, Kings die at the nation’s altar!"
"Moonlight before the bed, Lower head wiping the pants!"
....
"Alright, stop shouting! You’re looking for me, right?"
Lin Beichen couldn’t stand the noise anymore, ruining the Poetry Immortal’s verses at night! He then emerged from the grass.
In fact, through previous observation, he saw this group was searching for someone, and their conversation indicated the target was him.
What is meant to come will come, hiding is useless!
Thankfully, he hadn’t extracted much information from Helena, if they were here to assassinate him, keeping a few alive for interrogation might be useful!
"Are you Lin Beichen?"
Xin Yu asked while looking at the small screen on his wristband, showing the target’s photo, comparing it with Lin Beichen.
Simultaneously, as Lin Beichen emerged from the grass, the group instantly surrounded him, not aiming guns at him, but tightly guarding him in the center, with guns pointing outward!
After confirmation, Xin Yu first identified himself.
"We are ordered to escort you back to the country, here’s the phone!"
Then Xin Yu handed the communicator to Lin Beichen.
"Kid, you’re really something, causing havoc in the Divine Light Country! You know, the whole world wants to catch you now!"
"They are here to escort you, let’s head back to the country first!"
A very familiar voice sounded from the other end of the call, unmistakably the Security Bureau Chief, Song Xiangdong!
"It’s quite a scene, mobilizing armed forces in another country!" Lin Beichen exchanged a few polite remarks, still shocked inside!
He had considered the Security Bureau’s power, perhaps very great in Great Xia, but didn’t expect such methods abroad!
"We’ll talk more when you’re back, it’s dangerous abroad, bigger scenes await you!"
Song Xiangdong finally advised before ending the communication.
Xin Yu took back the communicator and curiously asked Lin Beichen: "Who’s that? Able to mobilize our commander?"
Xin Yu was indeed curious, as their organization was extremely secretive, few knew about it in Great Xia, rarely mobilized, suggesting that person was of high authority!
Moreover, the conversation showed deep concern for Lin Beichen’s safety.
