“Chief Officer, who is Canary?” asked Noland Lee when the people outside had left.

“It should be the codename for the Death Notice Spy.” Corporal Mars thought for a moment and said:

“Hiss… Could Pim’s codename be ‘Canary’? It seems quite possible…”

Noland Lee pretended to be shocked, “Sergeant Pim is ‘Canary’ ? What do you mean, Chief Officer? Is he a spy for Death Herald Guild?”

“Yes, Jarvis. I won’t hide it from you anymore, Pim is the Death Notice Spy.” Corporal Mars said through gritted teeth:

“He’s not a hero at all. This bastard is the Death Notice Spy. He wanted to use the opportunity of the Undead’s premature awakening to go to the Third Underground Level to retrieve Sin Soldier 039’s lost Death Herald Guild amulet, just happened to stumble upon Captain Murphy rescuing Lieutenant Grett. He was exposed by Captain Murphy and killed on the spot.”

Noland Lee’s face was full of surprise:

“So it was Captain Murphy who saved Lieutenant Grett… Pim is not the Hero of the Empire… this is unbelievable.”

Corporal Mars suddenly furrowed his brow and asked:

“Jarvis, do you know why the undead on the First and Second Underground Levels awoke early?”

“I don’t know…” Noland Lee shook his head in confusion.

“That’s strange. The undead would only awaken ahead of schedule if an external force intervened. At the time of the undead’s premature awakening, there were no abnormalities on the Third Underground Level with Captain

Murphy guarding it.”

Corporal Mars clapped his hands:

“It must have been Pim who did something on the First Underground Level that caused the undead to awaken early. Wait, could it be that the

Bone-mending Wand caused the early awakening of the undead? Could it be in Pim’s tent? Didn’t the people from Division Intelligence Unit Two leave?” Corporal Mars had finally come close to the answer.

As a military officer who excels in battle, it is not easy for him to think of so much.

He walked lightly to the side of the tent curtain and motioned for Noland Lee to follow him.

He led Noland Lee out of the tent and headed for the campsite of Division Intelligence Unit Two.

Contrary to Corporal Mars’s previous speculation, the soldiers of Division Intelligence Unit Two hadn’t retreated at all.

All their tents remained, and Pim’s tent hadn’t been moved.

Just as Corporal Mars led Noland Lee to approach Pim’s tent, a clattering sound of searching came from Pim’s tent.

Someone was rummaging through boxes and cabinets in the tent, mixed with the crisp sound of glass bottles colliding.

The person cursed while searching:

“Damn it! So Pim is Canary! Where did all these elixirs in his drawer come from? These are all treasures of our Death Herald Guild! … Last time this bastard interrogated me, he didn’t show any signs of being one of us! He beat me so hard I couldn’t get out of bed for two days! How could he do this?”

There was more than one person in the tent.

Another person responded:

“Forget it, we didn’t know each other’s identities either. Just like you and me. If we hadn’t killed the guards in front of us at the same time after receiving the signal, we wouldn’t have been able to confirm each other’s identities.”

“That’s true. But seriously, ‘Lumberjack’, your short knife skills are impressive, you chopped off the guard’s head in one swift movement.”

“Your dagger skill isn’t bad either? You’re a great hand at stabbing hearts, ‘Heart Driller’.”

One codename was “Lumberjack,” the other was “Heart Driller”.

The two Death Notice assassins complimented each other for a moment.

One of them dragged out a heavy metal box from under the bed, tapping the box lid, making muffled thumps.

Other than the elixirs in the drawer, this metal box is the most special thing in this tent.”

“It’s possible…” The assassin codenamed “Heart Driller” squatted down:

“What a pain, this box has a 16 -digit mechanical lock. Why did that bastard

Pim have to die before our assassination of Sterling Parker? I heard from Alvin’s people that Pim died trying to rescue Grett. Paugh! Is he really that kind of person? In my opinion, he must have faked his death! He put on a show, creating the illusion that he was killed by the undead. Then, when Sterling lets down his guard, he’ll suddenly reappear, and give Sterling a vicious stab in the back.”

“It’s possible. I also think Pim faked his death.”

“Lumberjack” pondered for a moment:

“Let’s just take the box with us directly. Maybe, we’ll run into Pim halfway.”

“Lumberjack” heaved the box up with heavy breaths, “Give me a hand, mate. This box is too heavy.”

“Right away, right away. Hehe. The elixirs in this drawer are all good stuff. I heard the bigwigs in the Death Herald Guild rely on these elixirs for meditation. Glug glug glug- Ah- Refreshing! ‘Lumberjack’, want a bottle?”

“Heart Piercer” had a wicked idea. He grabbed an elixir from the drawer, poured it into his mouth, and didn’t forget to share it with his partner.o

“Lumberjack” hesitated for a moment but couldn’t resist the temptation of the elixir.

He put down the metal box and “glug glug” drank several bottles of elixirs.

“What the bigwigs drink is indeed different, sour and sweet.”

“I think it’s much better than the dark wheat beer in the tavern.”

The two of them sighed briefly and carried the metal box out of the tent.

They each picked up a few coal lamps and threw them toward the tents around them. They continued to carry the box only when the flames broke out.

There was a raging fire in the campsite.

The fire quickly spread from Pim’s tent to every corner of the campsite, igniting all the fabrics and supplies in its path.

“Bang bang bang!”

The tents storing explosives and ammunition weren’t spared, as waves of air burst out, fueling the flames.

Two Death Herald Guild assassins entered the stairway to the next level before the first underground level was engulfed in the sea of fire.

In another stairway, Noland Lee and Mars wore breathing masks and stared at the sea of fire in a daze.

Although their vision was limited and they couldn’t see the entire sea of fire, the feeling of the rolling heat waves couldn’t be restricted by “Perception Obstruction”.

“Chief Officer, will Captain Murphy rescue Lieutenant Sterling Parker? What’s the Bone-mending Wand? And where have the bones of the skeleton warriors from the first underground level gone?”

Noland transformed into a question-asking machine, firing off one question after another.

Mars shook his head:

“All I know is that Captain Murphy will save Lieutenant Sterling. As for the other questions, I don’t know the answers.”

“So what do we do now? Put out the fire or stop the Death Herald Guild assassins who are moving the metal box?”

“Uh, we… we do nothing…”

“Are you sure, Chief Officer?”

“I’m sure, Jarvis, we don’t need to do anything…”

Mars had a strange expression:

“Look at this fire, we can’t put it out by ourselves. As for Lieutenant Sterling, Captain Murphy will save him. As for the two assassins and the metal box…

Pim is dead, and no one can open the password lock on the metal box. Even if that Bone-mending Wand is really inside the metal box, what would it matter? The two assassins can’t open the box because Pim is truly dead.”

“When you think about it… we really don’t need to do anything…”

Noland suddenly realized that the plan he borrowed from the Sword Shark People might have caused quite a chain reaction…

He lured Pim to the third underground level and disrupted Murphy’s plan, causing Lieutenant Grett to survive and deprive Murphy of a candidate for the New Military Intelligence Division 2.

Now, with Pim dead, the metal box containing the Bone-mending Wand could not be opened, leaving the Death Herald Guild’s plan to assassinate Lieutenant Sterling Parker missing a crucial link.

As a result, Lieutenant Sterling couldn’t be killed either… Wouldn’t Murphy be short of another candidate for the New Military Intelligence Division 2?

Ah, this.

Is it good to foil Murphy’s plan twice in a row?

Mars also realized this problem.

After Pim’s death, the Bone-mending Wand could not be activated. Didn’t that mean that the assassination mission on the third underground level had failed before it even started?

For those two Death Herald Guild assassins, dragging a metal box they could not open to the third underground level was tantamount to committing suicide.

“Jarvis, come with me. Let’s go to the third underground level and see the situation.”

Mars gestured for Noland to follow him.

He had a strong feeling in his heart:

Captain Murphy’s mood should be quite complicated right now..
