Chapter 80: 63. Chain reaction

“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.

“Bang bang bang.”

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:
