Chapter 1542 - 775: Is Our Identity About to Be Exposed?

Quickly, under the system scan, Lin Beichen discovered a place with many parked cars.

Without saying a word, Lin Beichen drove directly to that place.

As for Li Kui, he still sat quietly beside him, not daring to make a sound.

He was afraid that if he spoke, others would notice he was not part of the Beishi Mercenary Corps.

In reality, their ability to infiltrate was largely due to the large number of Beishi Mercenary Corps members.

Especially with the recruitment of many newcomers, most people in the base only recognized those who did the same work, having only met others once or not at all.

At this time, although Li Kui didn't speak, his mind was in turmoil.

Was it really this easy to infiltrate?

It seems the Beishi Mercenary Corps isn't as formidable as the legends say.

All for nothing, I broke into a cold sweat.

Actually, it wasn't that the Beishi Mercenary Corps was incompetent; rather, they never imagined that two people would dare to infiltrate their base.

Such a thing had never happened before, so they neglected their vigilance.

Although Li Kui thought this, within the enemy's base, he was still extremely tense.

Lin Beichen looked at his appearance and knew that as long as they were in the Beishi Mercenary Corps base, he would be on edge.

Lin Beichen parked the car where the others were parked, then got out of the car.

Seeing Li Kui still inside, he asked, "Why are you not getting out?"

"Can I just stay in the car? If you're discovered later, I can drive to get you."

Li Kui voiced his thoughts.

Lin Beichen shook his head with a smile and said, "No, I'm afraid if you stay, you'll sneak away.

Now that we're in the base, I can be honest with you."

Hearing Lin Beichen's words, Li Kui's face turned pale, "You... you know I want to run?"

"Then you..." Li Kui hesitated.

"Why bring me here?" Lin Beichen's lips curled into an amused smile, "Because of boredom."

After hearing this, Li Kui fell into a brief silence, his brow furrowed.

So it turns out, I'm not really here to help; I'm just a tool.

This is so pointless.

Li Kui was frustrated, never imagining he'd become so "cheap" one day.

"Get out of the car quickly, or if someone sees you staying, they'll definitely suspect us." Lin Beichen urged.

Hearing this, Li Kui dared not delay and hurriedly got out of the car.

He didn't want to expose his identity; if exposed in the Beishi Mercenary Corps, he'd be dead meat, unless he grew wings and flew out—wait, even with wings, he'd be shot down.

Anyway, in any case, it would definitely be death.

But to his shock, it wasn't long before their identities were exposed. Yet, they weren't the ones to die.

Of course, that's another story.

Soon, Lin Beichen led Li Kui wandering around the vast base of the Beishi Mercenary Corps.

They had no clue where they were, only feeling the place was huge.

"This should be a designated parking area." Li Kui speculated in his mind.

But Lin Beichen used the system to scan the surroundings, opting to walk in less populated areas to lower the risk of identity exposure.

Although Lin Beichen didn't fear the danger of being exposed,

if exposed now, they'd have to engage immediately, which might result in missing valuable information.

That would make things complicated.

After all, his intention was to silently assassinate the high-ranking members of the Beishi Mercenary Corps, not to annihilate everyone.

With his skills, he might actually manage that, but it was unnecessary and a hassle.

Lin Beichen naturally preferred a simpler method.

But if there was no other way, he'd resort to the most cumbersome method.

As Lin Beichen wandered aimlessly around the Beishi Mercenary Base,

suddenly he had a flash of inspiration, hitting upon a good idea.

High-ranking officials usually reside alone, in better surroundings.

And there wouldn't be too many people around, maybe just more patrols outside.

Thus, if the system detected a place with many patrols or luxurious buildings, it was likely where the leaders of the Beishi Mercenary Corps were.

Upon realizing this, Lin Beichen immediately acted on his idea.

After making several rounds in the Beishi Mercenary Base, Lin Beichen showed no signs of worry or fear.

But Li Kui beside him was entirely different, overwhelmed with tension.

As if he'd taken a walk several times through the Ghost Gate.

Just strolling around, Li Kui ended up sweating profusely.

Lin Beichen found it both exasperating and amusing.

"Is it really that scary in this base?"

Lin Beichen wanted to chat with Li Kui, urging him to relax a bit.

Otherwise, before others noticed their anomaly, Li Kui might make some odd moves.

"In the Beishi Mercenary Base, how can I not be nervous?"

Li Kui responded irritably, grumbling inwardly: Why drag me into such a dangerous thing?

Of course, this last part, he didn't dare voice aloud.
