Chapter 178: I want to report!
Translator: 549690339
Noland Lee’s idea was quickly confirmed!
After being forcibly taken into the underground prison cell where Sin Soldiers were kept, he saw the metal box containing the Bone-mending Wand, as well as eight other Death Notice spies.
“I brought you four Imperial Soldiers.”
Greenshaw pushed open the prison cell’s heavy iron door, waved his hands, and guided the Sin Soldiers and soldiers to stand in the corner.
Eight Death Notice spies gathered around, reaching out to strip off the clothing of the Imperial Soldiers.
“Wait, don’t be hasty.”
Greenshaw conjured a gust of wind, pushing his spies away from the soldiers.
He went to Noland Lee’s side, pointed at him, and told the spies:
“Which of you recognize him? Is this Noland Lee Jarvis?”
A spy with a mouthful of yellow teeth bent down and respectfully said:
“Sir, we all recognize him. We were in charge of guarding him when he arrived at the Suffering Borderland on the steam train.”
“Oh, really? That’s great. I just happen to need a genuine bait to attract the attention of Division Intelligence Unit Two. I’ll use him then.” Greenshaw waved his hand:
“Strip off the clothes of the soldiers, except for Jarvis’s.”
“Yes, Sir.”
The eight spies continued to strip off the clothes.
Noland Lee’s eyes slightly shifted, looking at the spy with yellow teeth.
“I thought there was something wrong with you when we got off the train! I didn’t expect you to be a Death Notice spy!”
No matter how Noland Lee inwardly criticized, he couldn’t express it.
Being bound by magic, he had difficulty talking, let alone cursing at the yellow-toothed spy…
The three soldiers’ clothes were stripped off and worn by three spies.
Greenshaw reached into the pocket of their clothes and took out a sharp folding knife.
With the knife, he dug out a part of the soldier’s heart, chewed it into a paste in his mouth, and smeared it on the spies’ faces.
The appearance of the three spies changed to resemble those soldiers who had their clothes removed.
Their height, temperament, eyes, voice, etc., were all identical to those three soldiers.
Most importantly, this disguise technique only revealed a trace of energy fluctuation when the spies’ appearances changed. Once the technique was complete, there would be no energy fluctuation.
Seeing this, Noland Lee could only secretly think that the Empire lost for a reason.
This enough-to-fake disguise technique was probably the primary means for the Death Herald Guild to infiltrate the Imperial Army.
It was at this moment that Noland Lee realized for the first time what Harmless Deconstruction had spared him.
Undoubtedly, only by killing a living human like Greenshaw, extracting their heart, and chewing it in his mouth could a corresponding disguise be achieved.
Harmless Deconstruction spared Noland Lee from this sinful and bloody process.
After confirming that his subordinates were fully disguised, Greenshaw waved his hand and motioned for the spies disguised as soldiers to follow him to receive the next group of Sin Soldiers and, while at it, to abduct a few more soldiers inside.
In the large underground prison cell, Noland Lee and several Sin Soldiers stood against the wall, facing five ill-intentioned spies and a dark metal box.
Noland’s gaze subtly moved, scanning the dimly lit prison cell.
After confirming that no other Extraordinaries were present, he secretly smirked and brought up the Magic Panel, selecting “Magic Shield”.
“System, let’s upgrade ‘Magic Shield’.”
[System Message: “Magic Shield” is currently Level 5.] [Consume 50 Energy Points to increase the level by 1.]
[Confirm upgrade?]
“Confirm the upgrade.”
Noland Lee whispered, then immediately pictured the Spell blueprints in his mind, recasting the “Magic Shield”.
“Hiss, it’s not enough. The shield’s intensity is still insufficient.”
Noland Lee’s brows silently furrowed and he whispered again, “Upgrade Skill.”
60 Energy Points were poured into the skill, raising “Magic Shield” to Level 7.
This time, the pressure on him eased considerably.
“Crack crack crack…”
A series of shattering sounds emanated from his body, attracting the attention of the five Death Notice spies.
Noland Lee shook his body a few times and finally broke free from the restraints.
“Not good! He’s escaped Lord Greenshaw’s magic!”
“Don’t let him get away!”
“Shoot! Shoot quickly! Kill him!”
The Death Notice spies drew their pistols from their waists and aimed at Noland Lee.
Noland Lee did not dodge, casting “Magic Shield” to protect himself while his right hand drew the revolver from his belt.
“Bang Bang!”
“Bang Bang Bang Bang..”
Intense and thunderous gunfire bloomed in the prison cell.
The five Death Notice spies covered their necks and heads, falling to the ground, and breathed their last amidst the gushing blood.
Noland Lee stood still, calmly reloading ammunition.
He walked to the side of the metal box, glanced at the mechanical lock on it, and immediately shook his head helplessly.
The box was used to carry the Bone-mending Wand.
When Murphy got this box, she destroyed the password lock and forcibly opened it.
Now, a new password lock appeared on the box, with 20 numbers on the password disc.
The 16-digit password Noland Lee found in Pim’s memory could not be used to unlock the mechanical lock on the metal box.
He squatted down while searching the Death Notice spies’ Spoils of War and checking their memories.
Many of his doubts were cleared up..
