Chapter 64: 55. Fake Potion Vomiting (2 in 1)_2
Translator: 549690339
Pim’s breathing became rapid, as if Noland’s words had struck his soul directly.
“You better explain clearly, Sin Soldier No. 888. What mysterious figure? What does he look like, what clothes was he wearing, and what tone and habits did he have when speaking. Tell me quickly.”
Noland pondered in his heart…
The so-called mysterious figure was someone he had imagined.
If he had to describe the mysterious figure, wouldn’t that person be wearing a set of unmarked black clothes?
Only such clothes could prevent others from discerning the person’s background and make it less likely for them to be detected in an environment like the third underground level.
Noland said:
“That mysterious person wore a set of black clothes, and I couldn’t see his appearance or figure.
“He snatched the amulet from Sergeant Piggs’ hand, gestured me a ‘silence’ sign, and kicked Sergeant Piggs under the big skeleton. Then, Sergeant Piggs was killed by the big skeleton’s hammer.”
For some reason, Pim shuddered as if he had heard something horrifying.
His hands trembled slightly as he picked up the tray from the table. Amid the clattering of glass bottles, he put the tray into a drawer.
He sat down, leaning back against the chair, supporting his forehead with one hand, and muttered to himself, his head bowed. His previous calm and composed demeanor was nowhere to be seen.
“It’s a mess…lt’s really a mess now…So the information was true…The Emperor is indeed secretly forming a new Military Intelligence Division 2. Their primary mission is to secretly investigate the extent of the Death Herald Guild’s infiltration into the existing Military Intelligence Division 2…” Noland’s face still looked half-asleep, but his heart was clearly stunned.
Forming a new Military Intelligence Division 2?
What does that mean?
To what extent has Military Intelligence Division 2 been infiltrated by the Death Herald Guild?
Upon careful consideration, a bright bolt of lightning flashed across Noland’s mind!
He suddenly connected all the events together and instantly understood the huge plan he had become involved in!
It was well-known that the targets of the Death Herald Guild’s assassinations and murders were all important figures who were utterly loyal to the Empire.
On the other hand:
Only those who truly remained loyal to the Empire without bending to the Death Herald Guild would become targets of their assassinations and murders.
The Death Herald Guild was like a giant sieve.
Whoever they targeted was branded with the label of absolute loyalty to the Empire.
This was equivalent to a very cruel personnel selection process.
Those who were truly loyal to the Empire were destined to die under the onslaught of the Death Herald Guild. For example, Lieutenant Grett, who was currently fighting on the third underground level.
However, if an external force intervened and secretly rescued Lieutenant Grett while creating the illusion that he had perished together with his enemies…
Then, wouldn’t this absolutely loyal soldier naturally become the Empire’s shadow agent?
Such people would be more trustworthy to the Emperor than the existing Military Intelligence Division 2.
Noland understood.
Marsha Murphy, the powerful yet always hidden captain, must have been unable to appear before the Imperial soldiers to personally command the battle because she had already been officially declared dead by the Death Herald Guild’s assassination.
In addition, Noland’s previous question also had a clear answer at this moment.
After being rescued by Captain Murphy, would Lieutenant Grett return to the first underground level to take charge of the overall situation?
The answer was clear.
He would not appear on the first underground level, nor would he replace Pim as the Acting Commander of Alvin’s Army.
Most likely, Captain Murphy was currently on the third underground level, informing Lieutenant Grett about the plan to create a new Military Intelligence Division 2 and converting him into a shadow agent.
From now on, Lieutenant Grett, like Captain Murphy, would become a member of the new Military Intelligence Division 2, skulking in the shadows, assuming the identity of an invisible man, secretly investigating how infiltrated Military Intelligence Division 2 was by the Death Herald Guild.
This was the reason why Lieutenant Grett would not return to the first underground level even if he survived the Cavern Evil Spiders.
If Pim went there now, he would definitely uncover the secret, and then Murphy would silence him.
This suited Noland’s needs perfectly and created the opportunity for him to manipulate the Sword Shark People.
“Sin Soldier No. 888, tell me, how powerful is that mysterious person?” Pim took several deep breaths, trying to maintain his composure.
He approached Noland Lee, staring at his face with eyes filled with fear and cruelty.
Though Noland’s mind was hazy, his reactions were not slow.
He had already sensed the murderous intent in Pim’s heart.
Pim undoubtedly had plans to go to the Third Underground Level to kill the mysterious person and forcibly retrieve the amulet.
This could be a fatal weakness that could put him in immediate danger. Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org
Thinking of this, Noland was fully prepared.
“I don’t know how powerful the mysterious person is, but he seems ordinary, just like an Imperial Soldier. I saw him push the Skeleton Warrior away and run when Pig Cook was killed by Bone Hammer. I have no idea where he went.” Pim stared at Noland’s face for a few seconds.
His mouth twisted, pupils dilated, eyes lifeless, speech slurred, drool dripping from the corner of his mouth, these were indeed the symptoms when the potion took effect.
So, everything Sin Soldier No. 888 said was true.
Pim firmly believed this.
Death Herald Guild’s specialty ‘Soul Interrogation Potion’ has never failed before!
Pim paced slowly around Noland with his hands behind his back, his eyebrows furrowed, and began to mutter to himself:
“The Emperor actually assigned an ordinary person as an investigator for the New Military Intelligence Division 2…
“No wonder we have never been able to investigate which warrant officers and military officers were involved in the plan to establish the New Military
Intelligence Division 2. It turns out that our investigation target was wrong. The active members of the New Military Intelligence Division 2 are not warrant officers and military officers as we imagined, but ordinary soldiers.
“…No, no, no, they might not even be soldiers. They could be just ordinary people who have received professional training. Only in this way can they completely escape the sight of the current Military Intelligence Division 2.
“The mysterious person’s power is indeed not that impressive. He is probably not even extraordinary, but only able to move unhindered among the undead due to some means. Since he is so weak, don’t blame me for silencing him then…”
Pim stopped in front of Noland with a cold smile on his lips:
“Very well, Sin Soldier No. 888, I am satisfied with the information you provided. The next time you have such important news, I hope you will tell me honestly. Oh, sorry, I forgot that the potion’s effect hasn’t worn off, you won’t remember what I said. Never mind. I’ll help you remember with torture when I interrogate you next time.”
Pim took out his pocket watch, counted a few seconds according to the second hand, then picked up a glass jar from the table and forced the clear water from the jar into Noland’s mouth.
When Noland’s gaze became clear and his expression changed from confusion to contemplation, and then from contemplation to panic and fear, Pim laughed satisfied.
“What did I say, what did I say…”
Noland’s eyes were blank, his anxiety and fear were palpable:
“What did I say… Why can’t I remember anything…”
“Sin Soldier No. 888, I already know everything I want to know. Just wait to see the outcome. Before long, you’ll succumb to me. I hope that by then, you’ll still be able to talk to me openly.”
After saying that, Pim didn’t give Noland a chance to ask, and shouted directly to the outside:
“Guards, come in!”
The guards lifted the tent curtain, stepped in, saluted: “Reporting to you, Chief Officer.”
Pim patted Noland’s shoulder, speaking in a gentle tone:
“I’ve already interrogated him. Sin Soldier No. 888 may have a loose attitude and carries sins, but his nature is not bad and he maintains absolute loyalty to the Empire and the Emperor. Now, take him to Mars Squad’s tent.”
“Yes, Chief Officer.” The guards removed Noland’s leg shackles, handcuffs, and
the magnetic device around his neck, helped him up from his chair, and escorted him out.
Noland hung his head, covering his face with his hair, appearing to be utterly dejected and desolate.
But in fact, he could hardly contain his laughter.
Hee hee hee!
Pim!
Rest in peace!
