Chapter 61 61.The hero returns

In front of the tent where the fallen soldiers were laid.

Li Nuo opened the door curtain, twitched his chin and lowered his head in thought.

The fallen imperial soldiers were actually protected by the spiritual shu.

No.

That's not accurate.

The correct statement should be:

The fallen imperial soldiers will have their soul fragments sucked away by the spiritual hub at the moment of death.

In the past half hour, Li Nuo has carried three "fresh" corpses one after another, confirming this point repeatedly.

Furthermore, any living person who dies within the scope of the Lingshu, regardless of whether he died at the hands of the undead, will have the soul fragments from the corpse taken away by the Lingshu.

If Li Nuo wants to increase the strength of his soul, he must avoid the influence of the spiritual hub.

Looking at the front line where the fighting was in full swing, something strange appeared in Li Nuo's mind.

How does he feel that the Necromancer Sect is making a sure profit without losing money?

Use the eternal essence in the spiritual hub as bait, and use the threat of land fall to force the imperial army to come to the tomb to clean up the filth.

In this process, the imperial army invested a lot of materials and consumed a lot of troops.

What did the Imperial Army get?

The essence of immortality that replenishes vitality, and the tombs that may be occupied by the undead again at any time.

The Necromancer Cult spent the essence of immortality, the magic materials to create the spiritual hub, and the spell-casting materials to summon the undead army.

Other than that, there should be no additional expenses.

Are these expenses high for the Necromancer Cult?

Li Nuo is not an insider of the Necromantic Religion, so he doesn't know much about the situation.

But he felt that if the cost of the war was a huge burden to the Necromantic Cult, then these groups of dead would choose to sleep underground to accumulate strength.

Instead of stirring up trouble in various tombs from time to time like now, forcing the imperial army to clean up.

No matter what, the Necromancer Sect paid for the material and gained the soul.

For the undead who live on their souls, this is definitely a sure profit.

…

"Sir, I moved the bodies of the fallen soldiers to the tent."

Li Nuo wiped the sweat from his forehead, came to the bottom of the high platform, and looked up at the guards above.

The guard lowered his head and was about to say something, but inadvertently glanced at the stairwell with his peripheral vision, and his face suddenly burst with joy:

"Oh my God! Look, everyone! Second Lieutenant Gretel is back! Second Lieutenant Gretel is back!"

His cry was not obvious among the roar of guns, but the name "Gretel" really attracted too much attention.

Several soldiers poked their heads out of the barrier, looked in the direction pointed by the guards, and then turned and shouted at their companions.

"It's really Lieutenant Gretel! Look, guys! Lieutenant Gretel did not die!!"

"Let me see!...His! Unbelievable, he actually escaped from the evil cave spider!"

"Who is the person next to Second Lieutenant Gretel? Is it Pim?...Eh? No, no, it's not Pim, it's Sergeant Mars! Could it be Sergeant Mars and Sergeant Pym who rescued Second Lieutenant Gretel together?

What about Sergeant Pym?"

"Don't worry about that guy from MI2, I feel sick when I think about his face. For a grown man, he spends all day either combing his hair or manicuring his nails. It's really disgusting."

The gunfire on the front line weakened briefly, and the soldiers poked their heads out of the barrier, talking and looking in the direction of the two Gretels.

If it weren't for the guards on the high platform, shouting and screaming to maintain order in the battle, the front line would probably be in a "misfiring" state.

I don’t blame the soldiers for not observing discipline, but the scene of Lieutenant Gretel returning to the camp was really shocking.

The suspense of a mortal man appearing in front of him alive is enough to make everyone curious.

Li Nuo faced the direction of Grete and the two, and opened his mouth slightly, with a look of surprise written all over his face.

He knew that Lieutenant Gretel was not dead.

He also guessed that Sergeant Mars would return with Lieutenant Gretel.

However, the time traveler who has mastered the death spell is the best criminal soldier No. 888.

Li Nuo ran towards Sergeant Mars with an expression of just the right amount of surprise, just like a team member who saw his commander surviving.

"Chief Mars, you are so amazing, you actually rescued Second Lieutenant Gretel." Li Nuo ran to Mars with admiration and said.

At this time, Mars was holding Gretel's right arm on his body, supporting him towards the camp.

Looking at Lieutenant Gretel again, this burly man had his eyes closed tightly and his teeth clenched. His face was covered with veins and bruises. There was not a single part of his body that was healthy. He looked like he was in pain.

But actually... Li Nuo knew very well that Second Lieutenant Grete was in very good condition.

When he first met Lieutenant Gretel, Li Nuo needed 1,000 energy points to completely deconstruct him.

Now, that number has doubled, reaching as many as 2,000 points.

This shows that Lieutenant Gretel has been promoted from the first level of "Imperial Fist" to the second level.

The pained look on his face and the injuries on his body were deliberately disguised.

Li Nuo shook his head secretly, wondering what kind of army he had joined, why everyone was an actor...

Sergeant Mars' acting is not bad either.

He deliberately tightened the lines on his face and said in a solemn tone:

"Jarvis, now is not a good time to chat. Go and ask the medics to come over and help. Lieutenant Gretel seriously overtaxed his body in order to fight against the Crypt Spider. He also suffered serious injuries and needs immediate treatment.

."

"Yes, sir, I'll go right away."

Li Nuo glanced at the stairwell behind the two of them, pretending to be looking for traces of Pim.

His face showed just the right amount of embarrassment and frustration, and finally he turned and left with a long sigh:

"Sir, there's something I want to tell you. Sergeant Pym... Well, forget it, let's talk about it later. I'll call the medic first."

As soon as Li Nuo left, the onlookers surrounded the two Gretels.

They surrounded the two heroes and walked to the medical tent.

Some soldiers were more impatient and upright, and couldn't bear the bad breath in their chests, so they sprayed directly.

"Sir Grete, Sergeant Pym is so abominable!"

"Yes! We wanted to save you, but he wouldn't let us go!"

"He suspected that Criminal Soldier No. 888 was a spy from the Death Society. He didn't even ask Sergeant Alvin, so he arrested Criminal Soldier No. 888 and interrogated him! Do you think this is too much? This is not a fight against our gang.

The face of the sergeant? Criminal Soldier No. 888 is the one who saved our sergeants after all!"

"What?! Jarvis was interrogated by Pym? When did this happen?" Sergeant Mars was dumbfounded.

Although Lieutenant Gretel closed his eyes tightly, he shook his body, obviously paying great attention to this issue.

Sergeant Hans had worked with Li Nuo before and had a high opinion of Li Nuo.

He took over the conversation and said:

"It happened just after we retreated from the third underground level. As soon as we returned to the camp, Pim arrested Criminal Soldier No. 888 without any explanation. It turns out that Criminal Soldier No. 888 had no problem at all! Pim didn't even give a damn.

There was no interrogation! We can only release Criminal Soldier No. 888... By the way, Mars, where is the Pym? Didn't he and his four guards go to rescue Second Lieutenant Gretel?"

Right, where is Pim?

Everyone looked at the dark stairwell, looking at each other, and had no choice but to focus on Mars.

Sergeant Mars took a deep breath, a trace of sadness flashed across his face, and his voice became hoarse:

"Sergeant Pym... he died, and four of his guards also died. After I took Lieutenant Gretel and fled to the second underground floor, I was surrounded by the stone cairns. If it weren't for Pym and his

Guards, risk your lives to rescue us. The two of us are the ones who died on the second floor underground."

"Dead...Pim is actually dead"

"He has today too!...Ah, I'm sorry, I mean, Pim is so brave..."

"I didn't expect Pim to sacrifice himself. I thought he was a complete bastard."

Sergeant Mars looked at the soldiers in front of him, feeling a little helpless.

He and Lieutenant Gretel both knew that Pym was a spy in the Death Society.

But this information cannot be made public at this time.

At least not now.

Because, among the spies of the Death Society, there are two ways of communication: double-line communication and single-line communication.

Single-line contact means that the upline knows the identity of the downline, but the downline does not know the identity of the upline.

Two-line communication means that both the upper and lower lines know the identity of the other party.

Pim's true identity must be known to another group of spies from the Death Society.

After the news about his identity being revealed spreads, it will soon arouse the vigilance of other spies from the Death Society, which will then affect Captain Murphy's follow-up plans.

In order to take the overall situation into consideration, I can only endure it for a while and wait until the mission here is completed before revealing Pim's true identity.

Just when the soldiers were feeling emotional, Li Nuo came back with the medical soldiers.

He just heard the news of Pim's death, and his expression became extremely complicated.

After being bullied, I finally vented my anger.

There is also joy after the sudden death of someone you hate.

There was still a slight shock, as if he didn't expect that Pim would sacrifice himself for others.

This series of micro-expressions took him a long time to show.

His purpose is clear.

That is to create himself as an ordinary criminal who has no knowledge of Pim's true identity.

"The sacrifice of Sergeant Pym is really regrettable. I originally thought he was a guy who only made things difficult for others, but I didn't expect that he had a fearless side."

With a sigh and emotion, Li Nuo dispersed the complex expression on his face and turned sideways to make way:

"Sir, the medics are here."

Lieutenant Gretel was gently placed on the stretcher.

The medical soldier lifted the heavy stretcher, waved the crowd away, and ran to the medical tent.

After Lieutenant Gretel left, the atmosphere at the scene was no longer so intense.

All the soldiers were doing whatever they were supposed to do and walked towards their own ramparts.

Sergeant Mars grabbed Li Nuo and walked to his team's tent.

"Jarvis, tell me what happened. How did Pim interrogate you? What did he ask you, and how did you answer?"

After entering the tent, Sergeant Mars lowered his voice and his tone was extremely solemn:

"You didn't reveal our plan, did you?"

"No, sir. In the name of an MI2 investigator, he forced me to reveal the person who taught me the necromancy runes. He also used a shock collar to greet me. I didn't say anything."

Li Nuo was honest when he spoke.

He made up his mind to get himself out of this troublesome situation without making any mistakes.

But Sergeant Mars glanced at Li Nuo up and down, obviously not believing it.

He knows the methods of MI2 very well.

If Pim really wanted to kill him, how many people would be able to withstand it?

But looking at Li Nuo's appearance, it seems that he was not tortured and interrogated, and there were no injuries on his body...

No, no, did Pim use veritaserum?

Sergeant Mars' eyes narrowed slightly, staring closely at Li Nuo's face. He flapped his nose slightly and took a few breaths.

The smell of truth serum is rather pungent.

Anyone who drinks it will leave a distinct smell in their mouth.

In addition, people who drink Veritaserum will experience side effects such as pupil trembling and mental confusion. Only people with excellent physical fitness can be immune to the side effects, such as "Imperial Fist".

Li Nuo does not have these phenomena, and he is not an "Imperial Fist".

Then there is only one answer.

Li Nuo was not given Veritaserum. Pim did interrogate him with an electric shock collar. Li Nuo also did not shake Captain Murphy out.

Sergeant Mars suddenly slapped his forehead and laughed at himself in a low voice:

"Hey, I almost didn't come around... If Pim knew that Captain Murphy's was hiding in the army, he would definitely leave the tomb as soon as possible instead of going to the third underground floor to find death. So you definitely didn't confess to Murphy's death.

Captain’s presence.”

"What? Sir? What are you talking about?" Li Nuo looked confused on the surface, but secretly sighed in his heart - Sir Mars, you finally came to your senses.

"No, no, no, it's nothing. You're good, Jarvis. I believe you. You definitely didn't leak the plan."

Sergeant Mars reached out and patted his shoulder.

Just as he was about to say a few words of comfort, a whistle came from outside the tent.
