Translator: 549690339
Noland Lee became quiet and calm, no longer as tense as before, completely ignoring the red spores on the other’s arm.
“I am an investigator of Military Intelligence Section Two, and I must abide by the rules. According to Empire Law, only the Tribunal can punish you.” The female investigator slightly furrowed her brows.
The changes in Noland Lee made her feel uneasy, but she couldn’t figure out the reason behind them.
“Raise your hands, hold your head and squat down, Sin Soldier No. 888.” The female investigator’s tone grew colder, and the flame light on her arm became even brighter.
Noland Lee remained unmoved.
He tilted his head slightly upward, looking at the ceiling, and exhaled:
“You won’t kill me, Chief Officer. There’s no need to repeat the same words. The only people who want to kill me are the spies of the Death Herald Guild. It’s rare for me to see a real Military Intelligence Section Two investigator.”
“Don’t stall for time, Sin Soldier No. 888.”
The female investigator aimed her arm at Noland Lee, and the red spores swelled, spraying a stream of flames.
“Enough already. Put down your arm. Aren’t you tired of holding it up?
Noland Lee sneered, shook his hand, and walked to the wall, crossing his arms and leaning against it.
“Don’t test my patience!” The female investigator’s face was filled with anger, not looking like the cold superior from before.
Noland Lee crossed his arms, looking teasingly at the female investigator, not hiding his admiration for her figure.
“Chief Officer, may I know your name?”
The female investigator pursed her lips, a hint of anger in her eyes, but she didn’t use the spores to shoot the blazing flames in the end.
“Relax a bit, Chief Officer. There are only the two of us here. Let’s talk. Let’s talk about the Empire, the Undead, and this damn Suffering Borderland.”
Noland Lee looked at the angry but hesitant female investigator and smiled:
“Did you know, Chief Officer? If it weren’t for my lack of resources at the moment, you would never have the chance to act so arrogantly in front of me. In my eyes, both you and Marsha Murphy seem as stupid.”
“Sin Soldier No. 888! Watch your words! Don’t force me to kill you.” The female investigator’s voice was sharp, and she took a step forward.
A flame erupted from the red spores and rushed toward Noland Lee’s face, but disappeared before touching the tip of his nose. “Powerless roars. just as annoving as a dog barking.
Noland Lee remained calm, raising his right hand, stretching out his fingers, and pointing to his own head:
“Your way of thinking is not quite good, which results in you always being led by the enemy. Want me to prove it to you?”
“Sin Soldier No. 888! Raise your hands, hold your head, and squat down!”
The female investigator withdrew her arm, took out her issued gun from her waist, and held the freezing cold muzzle to Noland Lee’s chin.
Noland Lee moved her gun away with his index finger, and walked towards the metal box on the ground:
“How much do you know about this magic wand? Do you know what the patterns on it represent? Do you know its status in Death Magic? Do you know what it will bring to the Korabo Legion?”
The female investigator rushed over, grabbed Noland Lee’s arm, pushed him away from the box, then used her toes to cover the box, aiming her gun at Noland Lee with both hands:
Her eyes widened, grinding her teeth, and said word by word:
“Sin Soldier No. 888! One more step, and we’ll shoot on the spot!”
Noland Lee completely ignored her, mumbling:
“Ah- well, it’s a pity, Chief Officer. It seems you don’t know what this wand does. Considering your terrible attitude, I won’t tell you either.”
Noland Lee turned around, pointing to the direction of the riverbank, and said to the female investigator with a playful smile:
“Look over there, along that underground riverbank and in its water, there are many, many high-density Death Element Stones. The Vidas Army has earned a big harvest. They’ve intercepted a large number of Death Element Stones, planning to send them back to the Korabo Corps Fortress.”
“The spoils of the Legion have nothing to do with you, Sin Soldier No. 888. You are under arrest now.” The female investigator pulled the trigger and fired a silenced bullet from her gun.
The bullet head fell beside Noland Lee’s foot, splashing a shower of stone fragments.
“Don’t provoke me anymore, Sin Soldier No. 888. You guessed right, I really won’t kill you. But that doesn’t mean you can leave here unscathed.”
Faced with the female investigator’s threat, Noland Lee just shrugged his shoulders:
“Oh, really? Are you planning to break my leg? Which one? If you ask me, you should choose my left or right leg because they’re the weakest.” “piu-” Another silenced bullet shot out, brushing past Noland Lee’s cheek.
“Just kidding, don’t be so tense.”
Noland Lee chuckled, slowly moving towards the female investigator:
“I’ve always been puzzled by one thing; where on earth did the Undead Cult get so many casting materials? …Oh, sorry, I forgot, you lot are more dim-witted. You don’t even know what I’m talking about. But, never mind…”
Noland Lee stopped in front of the female investigator, allowing the muzzle of her gun to press against his chest.
He outstretched his arm, placing his wrist in front of her:
“Go on, arrest me. Take me back to the Legion Fortress. Then I’ll know the answer to my question.”
Noland Lee’s sudden capitulation confused the angry female investigator.
It took her a full two seconds to react and realize she should take out the handcuffs.
Noland Lee had been leading her by the nose all this time, and a feeling of humiliation welled up in her heart.
The female investigator swung her right hand, striking Noland Lee’s temple with the butt of the gun, and yelled angrily, her saliva splattering: “Sin Soldier No. 888! Put your hands on your head and squat down!” Noland Lee held his throbbing temple, his body swaying but not squatting
uovvn:
“Only criminals squat down! Dammit, you bunch of pigs with low IQ. I’ve made myself so clear, and you still don’t get it? Shit, I’ve had enough! Serving people like you is like throwing your lives away for nothing.”
The female investigator tripped Noland Lee, causing him to fall to the ground. Then she bent her knee, pressed it onto his back, forcefully twisted his arm, and handcuffed his hands together.
The female investigator’s anger flared even more after Noland Lee’s insults.
She angrily hammered on his lower back, pulling him up from the ground.
Her voice grew shrill due to the overwhelming anger, just like a street scolding shrew:
“Sin Soldier No. 888, you’re finished! I’m going to add three charges to your record! Insulting an investigator from Military Intelligence Section Two! Refusing to cooperate during interrogation! Resisting arrest with violence! You just wait to face the gallows!”
Noland Lee suddenly calmed down.
He turned his head and looked at her with a sorrowful expression on his face:
“Fools aren’t worth saving. This is a tragically doomed nation. Your actions have actually lifted a great burden from my heart. Thank you.” After saying that, Noland Lee fell silent.
He checked the system messages that appeared in his mind.
[You have received minor damage x4!]
[Passive Deconstruction Activated!]
[Your “Kasha” Deconstruction Completion Rate has increased from 0% to
0.6%.]
[You have obtained the following deconstruction results:]
[1. Deconstruction target is named Kasha, Senior investigator of Military
Intelligence Section Two, Sergeant Major Rank, 35 years old this year.] [2. One relatively important recent memory fragment:]
[A shady-looking Military Intelligence Section Two personnel, standing in front of Kasha, said:]
[“I have received reliable intelligence that a group of Death Notice Spies is wandering around Suffering Borderland with a dangerous magical item. That item may be a powerful magic wand. I order you and Lieutenant Cavado to search for the magical item and bring it back to the Korabo Corps Castle for destruction.
[“Also, I have received information that among these spies is an Imperial Captain named Marsha Murphy. Yes, the same Marsha Murphy rumored to have perished in Grave 669. Obviously, she has joined the enemy. Bring more men with you and be sure to bring the wand back.”]
No wonder they’re after the Bone-mending Wand…
Noland Lee looked at the man speaking in the memory fragment.
His appearance isn’t clear, but the badge on his chest is quite distinct.
It reads “Magic Wand Destruction Team Leader.”
It seems that the investigators from Military Intelligence Section Two who came to track down the wand are all members of the Wand Destruction Team..
