Comprehension Ability: Creating the Five Thunders Technique in Reality-Chapter 997 - 502: Controlling... William’s Living Soul?

Suddenly, he thought of something, reached out to take the necklace, and carefully rubbed the oval pendant.

Soon after, his eyes flickered, and he discovered something. He slightly exerted force to open both sides of the pendant.

Everyone was surprised to find that the necklace actually concealed a secret mechanism.

"But inside, it's just a black gemstone, nothing special," the elder said, looking at the black gemstone inside the necklace, puzzled.

Lin Beichen frowned slightly at the black gemstone in the pendant. He always felt that the necklace wasn't that simple.

He lowered his gaze and tentatively rotated the black gemstone, only to discover that this gemstone could indeed be turned, and there was a rotating compartment at the back.

Even more coincidentally, the shape of this rotating compartment perfectly matched the miniature USB drive they had just acquired.

"Truly unexpected!"

Xia Luyao's exclamation echoed in the air.

No wonder William always wore that necklace. It turns out, he cleverly concealed the secret USB drive within it!

This discovery also reasonably explained why the necklace appeared before them at this moment.

"That William is really cunning!" Wild Ox couldn't help but exclaim.

Lin Beichen nodded slightly, then took the USB drive from Xia Luyao's hand and carefully placed it back into the secret compartment of the necklace.

"Now, all these crucial pieces of evidence are in our hands." The elder's eyes flashed with a sly light as he said with delight, "When we negotiate with the Zaka Organization next, we'll have more confidence."

Lin Beichen expressed his agreement and solemnly announced, "Everyone, get ready. We are about to commence the official action."

After a brief rest, the members of the Venomous Snake Special Team quickly launched into action the following dawn.

Lin Beichen picked up William's satellite phone and made contact with the Zaka Organization, arranging to meet in an abandoned building in the western part of Ivya, Kana City.

In the morning, Lin Beichen donned a suit completely different from his usual style, despite feeling a bit helpless with this attire in Ivya's hot weather.

He consoled himself inwardly: Just endure for one day, and everything will get better.

...

"Wow, Lin Beichen, you look really sharp in that outfit!" The elder approached with non-stop praise.

Lin Beichen tugged at the collar of his shirt and responded with a bitter smile, "How does anyone look good wearing such an outfit in this heat?"

In his view, for William to wear a suit all day in a sweltering place like Ivya was simply unreasonable.

"Hey, you can't say that." The elder turned to Xia Luyao, seeking support, "Captain, what do you think of Lin Beichen's outfit?"

Hearing the call, Xia Luyao arrived, her gaze wandering over Lin Beichen, with a hint of amazement in her eyes. She cleared her throat, commenting in a deliberately calm manner, "Not bad."

The elder seized the opportunity to tease, "Look, even our captain says you look sharp!"

Xia Luyao gave him a glare, explaining, "I only said he looks okay, it's nothing more."

"Isn't that the same thing!" The elder replied with a cheeky smile.

At this point, the elder noticed Xia Luyao had chosen a light beige coat and subtle makeup for the action today, appearing both professional and graceful.

"Captain, today's look is truly refreshing!" The elder sincerely complimented.

Xia Luyao cast a cold glance at him, warning, "What, want to increase your training quota? I can give you some extra sessions just for you."

The elder's face underwent a drastic change at this, pleading ruefully, "No, Captain, I was just kidding."

Seeing the elder's awkward state, the surrounding teammates couldn't hold back their laughter.

"Alright, everyone, settle down." Xia Luyao interrupted them sternly, "Let's get ready for action."

She turned to Lin Beichen and suddenly noticed something, "Why aren't you wearing your necklace?"

Everyone then realized that Lin Beichen's neck was bare.

Lin Beichen shook the necklace in his hand, explaining, "The clasp on this thing is too complicated, I can't manage it."

Wild Ox stepped forward self-voluntarily, "Let me help you put it on!"

However, before he even took a step, Flame pulled him back.

"Letting one man put a necklace on another? What kind of scene is that!" Flame retorted and subtly directed the rest of the team for support.

The elder immediately caught on, adding, "Exactly, it's too awkward. Captain, you help Lin Beichen with it?"

Everyone else nodded in agreement.

Xia Luyao understood their intention but didn't refuse.

She walked up to Lin Beichen, took the necklace, and deftly opened the clasp, "Lower your head slightly."

Lin Beichen complied, and Xia Luyao gently put the necklace around his neck and tidied it up carefully.

"There, all done." Xia Luyao stepped back, scrutinizing Lin Beichen, nodding in satisfaction.

Lin Beichen flashed a slight smile, "Thank you!"

That smile stirred a strange ripple in Xia Luyao's heart, but she quickly calmed her emotions, "No need to thank me. It's about time, let's head out."

Everyone made the final preparations and set off for the rendezvous point with the Zaka Organization.

"Let's split up and act individually from here." Lin Beichen assigned tasks to Flying Eagle and others, handing out communication talismans, "Stand by here and act as the situation dictates."

Flying Eagle and the others nodded in agreement, after which Lin Beichen and Xia Luyao continued towards the meeting spot.

The two slowly entered the dilapidated building, surveying the unfamiliar surroundings.

Lin Beichen instinctively touched his nose, cautiously observing the movements around him.

"Stop! What are you doing here?" Two men wearing skull masks suddenly appeared before them, blocking their path.
