63. Chain reaction
"Sir, who is the canary?" Waiting for the people outside to walk away, Li Nuo asked knowingly.
"I guess it's the code name of the spy of the Death Society." Sergeant Mars thought for a moment and said:
"Shhhh Could it be that Pym's code name is 'The Canary'? It seems that this is really possible..."
Li Nuo pretended to be stunned, "Sergeant Pym is a 'canary'? What do you mean, sir? Is he a spy for the Death Society? ”
"Yes, Jarvis. I'm not going to hide it from you, Pym is a spy for the Death Society. Mars gritted his teeth and said:
"He's not a hero at all. This bastard is a spy for the Death Society. He wanted to take advantage of the early revival of the undead to go to the third basement floor to retrieve the lost death amulet of Sinner 039, and happened to bump into the scene where Captain Murphy rescued Second Lieutenant Gretel. He was identified by Captain Murphy and killed instantly. ”
Li Nuo's face was full of surprise:
"It turns out that Second Lieutenant Gretel was saved by Captain Murphy... Pym is also not an Imperial Hero either... This, this, this.. It's incredible. ”
Sergeant Mars suddenly frowned and asked:
"Jarvis, do you know why the undead on the first and second floors of the basement are revived early?"
"I don't know," Li Nuo shook his head blankly.
"That's weird. Only in the case of external forces will the undead be revived in advance. When the undead were revived in advance, the third basement floor was guarded by Captain Murphy, and nothing unusual happened. ”
Sergeant Mars clapped his hands:
"That must have been something Pym did in the basement to revive the undead. Wait, could it be that some kind of bone wand caused the undead to respawn early? Could this thing be in Pym's tent? The people from MI2 must not have left, right? ”
Sergeant Mars is finally close to answering.
As a sergeant who was more adept at fighting, it was not easy for him to think of so much.
He walked lightly to the curtain and motioned for Li Nuo to follow him.
He left the tent with Leno and walked towards the MI2 camp.
Contrary to Mars's previous speculation, MI2 soldiers did not retreat at all.
All of their tents were left here, and Pym's tent was not moved.
Just as Mars led Leno to the vicinity of Pym's tent, the sound of rummaging came from Pym's tent.
Someone rummaged through the tent looking for something, mixed with the crunch of glass bottles colliding.
The man scolded:
"! It turns out that Pym's hanging feathers are canaries! Otherwise, where did all these potions come from in his drawer? This is all the treasure of our death party! ... The last time this bastard interrogated me, he didn't look like his own at all! I couldn't get out of bed for two days! How did he manage it?! ”
There was more than one person in the tent.
Another responded:
"Forget it, who told us not to know each other's identities. Just like you and me. If the two of us hadn't killed the guards in front of each other at the same time after receiving the signal, you and I would have confirmed each other's identities. ”
"Yes. But then again, 'Lumberjack', you've used your short knife so well that you cut off the guard's head in one fell swoop. ”
"Aren't you good at daggers? It's really a good hand at digging out the heart, 'the heart driller'. ”
One is codenamed "Lumberjack" and the other is "Driller".
The two Death Society Assassins complimented each other.
One of them dragged the heavy metal box from under the bed and slammed the lid with a muffled sound.
"Bang Bang."
"'Driller', you said the bone-catching wand we were looking for, could it be in this box? Except for the potions in the drawer, this metal box is the most special thing in this tent. ”
"It's possible...", the Assassin, codenamed "Driller", crouched down:
"It's a real hassle, the mechanical lock of this box has a 16-digit code. Pym's bastard didn't die sooner or later, before we assassinated Thray. I've heard from Alvin's people that Pym died trying to rescue Gretel. Phew! Is he that kind of person? If you want me to say, he must be faking his death! He staged a play to create the illusion that he had been killed by the undead. After Seret let his guard down, he appeared unexpectedly and stabbed Seret in the back. ”
"It's possible. I also think Pym is faking his death. ”
"Lumberjack" muttered:
"Let's just take the box down. Maybe you'll meet Pym halfway through. ”
"Lumberjack" gasped and lifted the box up, "Come and get a hand, man." The box is too heavy. ”
"Right now, right away. Hey. The potions in this drawer are all good things, and I've heard that the big names in the Death Club rely on these potions for meditation. Grunt grunt ~ ah ~ cool! 'Lumberjack', do you want a bottle? ”
The "driller" moved his mind. He picked up the potion from the drawer and poured it into his mouth, not forgetting to share it with his accomplices.
The "lumberjack" hesitated, unable to resist the temptation of the potion.
He put down the metal box and "gurgling" and drank a few bottles of potion.
"The things that the big guys drink are just different, sweet and sour."
"I think it's much better than rye in the tavern."
The two sighed for a moment and moved the metal box outside the tent.
They each picked up a few coal lamps and threw them at the tents around them, waiting until the flames were burning before continuing to carry the boxes.
The camp was blazing.
The fire soon spread from Pym's tent to all corners of the camp, setting fire to all the cloth and supplies in its path.
"Bang bang bang!"
Tents stockpiling explosives and ammunition were not spared, and bursts of air erupted to fuel the fire.
The two Death Society Assassins stepped into the stairwell to the next level before the basement level was caught in flames.
In another stairwell, Leno and Mars wore breathing masks and stared at the sea of fire.
Although the field of vision is limited and the sea of fire cannot be seen in its entirety, the feeling of the heat wave rolling in is not limited by the "perceptual obstruction".
"Sir, will Captain Murfia rescue Lieutenant Thray? And what is a bone-wand? Where did the skeleton bones in the basement go? ”
Li Nuo turned into a problem baby and asked questions one after another.
Mars shook his head:
"All I know is that Captain Murphy will go to the rescue of Lieutenant Thray. As for the other questions, I don't know the answers. ”
"So what do we do now? Is it to put out the fire? Or to stop the Death Assassin from carrying the metal crate? ”
"Well, we... We don't do anything..."
"Are you sure, sir?"
"I'm sure, Jarvis, we don't have to do anything..."
Mars's expression was very strange:
"Look at this fire, it's not something the two of us can extinguish. Speaking of Lieutenant Serre, Captain Murphy will rescue him. As for those two assassins and the metal box... Pym is dead, and no one can open the combination lock of the metal box. Even if that bone-glinting wand was really in a metal box, so what? The two Assassins couldn't open the box at all, because Pym was indeed dead. ”
"Come to think of it this way... We really don't have to do anything..."
Li Nuo suddenly realized that his plan to borrow the sword shark man seemed to have caused a lot of chain reaction...
After luring Pym to the third basement level, he smashed Murphy's plan, leaving Second Lieutenant Gretel from dead, and Murphy was thus deprived of a new MI2 candidate.
Now, with Pym dead, the metal box containing the bone-gling wand cannot be opened, and the plan to assassinate Lieutenant Thray is missing an important link.
In this way, Lieutenant Seret will not die... Isn't Murfia one less candidate for a new MI2?
Ahh
Is it really good to frustrate Murphy's plan twice in a row?
Mars is aware of the problem.
After Pym's death, the Bone Wand cannot be activated. Doesn't that mean that the assassination operation that took place on the third basement floor has already been declared a failure before it has even begun?
The two Death Society Assassins dragged a metal box that could not be opened to the third basement floor, which was tantamount to sending them to death
"Jarvis, follow me. Let's go to the third basement level to see how it goes. ”
Mars beckoned, motioning for Lino to follow.
He had a strong premonition in his heart:
Captain Murphy should have had mixed feelings at this time.
