Originally, he thought he would find the mantis today and avenge the bloody deep feud, but he didn't expect the opponent to be so cunning.
The captain and his team decided to watch and not act for the time being, which made Flying Eagle anxious and restless. He couldn't sit idly by knowing that his father's killer was not far ahead.
So, Flying Eagle made a bold decision—he would act alone, infiltrate Shang Dong's lair, and avenge his father!
To avoid being discovered by those in the base, Flying Eagle chose not to drive but decided to walk there. He remembered that not far from the base was a parking point of the police station.
He decided to go there first and then drive straight to Shang Dong's lair. However, when he arrived at the parking point and opened the warehouse door to find the car keys, he felt something was wrong. He turned his head to see a figure hiding in the darkness inside the warehouse not far away.
"Flying Eagle, your insight is quite good."
This familiar voice made Flying Eagle widen his eyes in shock. "It's you!"
Although Flying Eagle wasn't entirely convinced that Lin Beichen could solve the problem, after experiencing today's series of events, he had to admit that Lin Beichen indeed possessed extraordinary abilities.
The two then unfolded the talisman paper tied with a red thread and recited the spell according to the method Lin Beichen instructed. Following this, they witnessed a red dim light tracing along the talisman on the paper, revealing a faint layer of dark red glow. After a while, the light gradually dimmed, and then a lazy voice slowly echoed.
"Hello."
Flying Eagle and Flame heard this voice, their faces revealing surprise followed by a hint of joy. It seems that the communication talisman indeed worked!
"Hello, is Lin Beichen here?" Flying Eagle whispered to the communication talisman.
A yawn could be heard from the other side, followed by a lazy tone: "Who else could it be?"
Lin Beichen rolled his eyes helplessly in his heart, clearly, he had written it in plain terms on the paper that if they encountered a problem, they could use the communication talisman to contact him. Now that they had used the communication talisman, they still asked if it was him, wasn't that redundant?
Flying Eagle let out an embarrassed chuckle, cleared his throat, and said, "Lin Beichen, here's the situation. We're now outside the walls of Shang Dong's lair and don't know what to do next." Then, Flying Eagle and Flame briefly explained their current predicament to Lin Beichen. They wanted to infiltrate the walls, but to do so without making a sound was extremely difficult. For the time being, the two were in a state of dilemma.
On the other side, after hearing this, Lin Beichen sighed lightly, but his expression was not surprised, as if he had anticipated all of this. He said somewhat helplessly, "You guys are looking for me in the middle of the night just for this?" He thought it was a big deal, but it turned out to wake him up.
Flying Eagle paused for a moment upon hearing this, then suddenly realized that Lin Beichen's voice seemed to carry a hint of drowsiness. Could it be that he had woken him up? He looked up at the night sky, indeed it was already the lights-out time for the Yanjing Military Region.
"Well, Lin Beichen, the situation is urgent now, please help us out this time." Flying Eagle pleaded.
"That's right, a good deed should be done thoroughly, right?" Flame also spoke up. Earlier he always thought that Lin Beichen just liked to play tricks, but after today's series of events, he gradually felt that Lin Beichen must have some true skills. Therefore, his attitude towards Lin Beichen was no longer as firm as before.
Listening to their change in tone, Lin Beichen was not surprised. Their experiences in Yun Province must have corresponded precisely to the divination he calculated for them, and they began to gradually trust him. After all, otherwise, they wouldn't have used the communication talisman to seek his help. Although being woken up was somewhat annoying, for the sake of faith value, Lin Beichen decided to help them once more.
"Alright then, I'll calculate a divination for you." After saying that, Lin Beichen sat up from the bed, crossed his legs, picked up the compass bought from the System Mall with his right hand, pinched his fingers with his left hand, closed his eyes slightly, and began to recite: "Jia, Yi to raise Cyan Dragon, Bing, Ding to raise Vermillion Bird..."
As Lin Beichen recited the formula, the inner disk of the compass in his right hand, and the celestial pool began to slowly rotate. After a while, Lin Beichen opened his eyes, looked at the divination in front of him, and sighed lightly.
On the other side, hearing Lin Beichen's sigh, Flying Eagle couldn't help but ask, "How does the divination say?"
Looking at the divination, Lin Beichen slowly explained, "This is the 'Distress' divination saying: Lake without water is distressing. A gentleman accomplishes his mission to fulfill his will."
"What does that mean?" Flying Eagle and Flame were completely at a loss.
Lin Beichen explained to them: "It means that there are obstacles ahead; if you go now, you'll face death with no survival."
"Death with no survival? So, you're saying we'll just be rushing to death, we should retreat now?" Flying Eagle clenched his fists and said angrily. The enemy was at arm's length, how could he bear to give up just like that!
Lin Beichen discreetly smiled and said, "Not exactly, great changes still have variables."
"Variables? What variables?" Flying Eagle asked eagerly.
Lin Beichen sighed lightly and said with a deep tone, "The secrets of the heavens cannot be revealed, but I can tell you one thing."
"What?" Flying Eagle and Flame, hearing that there was still a chance, quickly asked.
"Tonight, at eleven o'clock, there will be a heavy rain where you are."
Flying Eagle and Flame instinctively raised their heads to look at the sky filled with stars, the twinkling night sky. With such a clear sky and no clouds visible, there would be rain tonight? What kind of joke is this?
"Lin Beichen, this is a serious matter, don't joke around!" Flame asked with a slightly astonished expression.
"Do you think I'm so idle to joke with you in the middle of the night?" Lin Beichen said somewhat speechlessly.
"But the sky here is so clear, it's impossible for rain." Flame directly said.
It's already ten thirty, there's only half an hour left until eleven. But looking at the sky, it doesn't seem like it's about to rain any time soon. Could Lin Beichen have calculated it wrong?
Lin Beichen sighed lightly and then slowly said, "Anyway, the divination I deduced is like this, whether you believe it or not is up to you. In any case, I've said all I can!" After saying this, Lin Beichen directly cut the communication.
"Hey, Lin Beichen, Lin Beichen..." Flying Eagle and Flame wanted to call Lin Beichen to ask him more.
Soon, the communication talisman in their hands instantly turned to ashes. Flying Eagle involuntarily released his grip, and those ashes scattered with the wind, gradually disappearing in the night. The two of them looked at each other, their eyes full of astonishment, looking at the communication talisman that had already vanished.
"Ever since getting to know Lin Beichen, the strange things I've encountered have been increasing." Flame said blankly, staring ahead.
Flying Eagle nodded slightly, fully understanding. Lin Beichen's mysterious aspects were indeed numerous, divination, talisman papers, these things they always found enigmatic and unfathomable, now witnessing them firsthand, they had to admit their authenticity.
"But, do you think this weather will really rain? It doesn't seem like it." Flame looked up at the sky with a hint of hesitation in his voice, "Moreover, if it goes from a clear sky to heavy rain, what difference does it make? How does that help us get inside?"
Flying Eagle frowned, staring at the starry night sky, deep in thought. After these few days, he felt Lin Beichen wouldn't make baseless statements. Since he said so, there must be some profound meaning behind it. But what is this profound meaning exactly?
"Heavy rain, heavy rain!" Suddenly, Flying Eagle thought of something, and his face showed a realization.
"What did you understand?" Flame asked curiously, turning his head to look at him.
Flying Eagle's eyes flashed, his tone carrying excitement: "If it really rains heavily later, we can use the sound of rain as cover to rush in."
