In front of the stone door of the Stone Tomb.

Corporal Mars and his group were leaning against the door, panting heavily. A fierce battle had just taken place here.

Over thirty frenzied Stone Tomb Bound Spirits surrounded Mars and his men.

Penetrating, biting, and icy cold touches that could steal one’s soul.

The forked lightning released by the Lightning Spore couldn’t stop these crazed spirits.

It was a suicidal attack.

The Bound Spirits that surrounded Corporal Mars and the others eventually vanished in the lightning, but the human side also paid a heavy price.

Three sergeants died in battle, and the survivors were left utterly exhausted.

“Hang in there, mates,”

Corporal Mars reached into his pocket and pulled out an all-metal injector.

Without hesitation, he stuck the needle into his neck, pushed the plunger forcefully, and injected the unknown colored fluid into his body.

His face twisted in pain, but the fatigue quickly faded away.

Meanwhile, a few wisps of gray appeared in his hair in a brief amount of time.

“Inject yourselves with the Cell Division Promoter, everyone. Otherwise, we won’t have a chance to stop the Death Notice Spy.”

Following Corporal Mars’ example, the surviving sergeants also injected themselves with the battle potions that exchanged their lives for increased physical strength, energy, and rapid injury recovery.

One sergeant, covering his chest while coughing, said:

“Captain, Sin Soldier No. 079 and Sin Soldier No. 888 didn’t follow us… their chances are slim… We must get the Rune Staff from the Death Notice Spy, it’s our only hope to destroy the Undead Runes… I am willing to be the first to try to destroy the Undead Runes!”

“No, soldier, if someone must pay the price to destroy the Undead Runes, it will be me first.”

Corporal Mars smiled bitterly and said:

“Sigh, who would have thought that Sin Soldier No. 039 was a Death Notice Spy? Damn it! He actually knew about the Undead Runes! Just what did he do to the Stone Tomb that drove these Bound Spirits mad?”

Recalling the actions of the Death Notice Spy, fury burned in the depths of Corporal Mars’ eyes:

“Those bastards from Division Intelligence Unit Two, how do they audit the identities of Sin Soldiers? They let a Death Notice Spy slip in…”

The sergeants heard this and started cursing.

“You’re right, Captain. The guys from Division Intelligence Unit Two almost got us killed. What have they been up to!”

“Division Intelligence Unit Two didn’t even properly investigate the real identity of Sin Soldier No. 039 before stuffing him into our team… A bunch of irresponsible bastards!”

“I just want to settle the score with them now…”

As the team’s condition rapidly improved and their speech grew stronger, Corporal Mars clenched his fist and said:

“Alright, mates, we’ve rested enough. Let’s move.”

“Wait a minute, wait for me-”

A voice came from the red fog of the Poisonous Fog.

The Sergeants raised their short-barreled rifles.

Some pointed their Lightning Spore at the direction of the voice.

“Don’t shoot, it sounds like Jarvis.”

Mars’ face trembled with excitement and a strong sense of happiness appeared on his tough face.

However, he remained vigilant and did not immediately lower his Firearms.

“It’s me, Captain, don’t shoot, it’s me!”

Noland Lee came panting, with bruises all over his body, a noticeable swelling on his elbow, looking miserable.

Noland Lee waved his Rune Staff and shouted joyfully at the sergeants:

“Thank goodness, I’ve finally found you all! This Poisonous Fog has me spinning, almost losing my direction.”

“Don’t come any closer! ”

Mars raised the muzzle of his gun, but the joy on his face disappeared, replaced by a hint of deliberation in his eyes.

Speaking frankly, the series of events that happened earlier were too urgent.

So much so that Mars and the sergeants’ attention was entirely focused on the Death Notice Spy and the Stone Tomb Bound Spirits, leaving them no time to pay attention to Noland Lee and Sin Soldier No. 079.

At this time, recalling these events, Corporal Mars realized that his last impression of Noland Lee was at the moment when he ordered the team to chase the spy.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

After that, what happened to Noland Lee, Corporal Mars had no recollection…

“Jarvis, how did you and Sin Soldier No. 079 fall behind while we were chasing the Death Notice Spy? Why did only you catch up? Where’s Sin Soldier No.

079?”

Noland Lee stopped three meters away from Corporal Mars, not feeling upset about the latter’s questioning.

Instead, Mars’ display of alertness raised Noland Lee’s evaluation of him.bender

Noland Lee bent over, clutching his chest and gasping for breath, shaking his hand at Corporal Mars with a tone full of fear:

“That was too close, Chief Officer, too close. As soon as you guys started chasing the spy, Sin Soldier No. 079 secretly intercepted me and hit me hard with a few punches.”

Noland Lee rolled up his sleeve and showed the bump on his elbow to the sergeants:

“This jerk held a grudge against me because I had an argument with him before we set off. He’s such an idiot to seek revenge on the undead’s territory…”

“What happened after?” Corporal Mars slowly lowered his gun, showing his trust in Noland Lee.

“Later, both he and I attracted three Stone Tomb Bound Spirits. Probably because he was bigger and had more flesh, the Stone Tomb Bound Spirits chased after him. I took the opportunity to rush over to you guys. He picked up your gun and shot at the Bound Spirits and me. Before the poisonous fog turned red, I had already run away. After the fog turned red, he seemed to have died, killed by the Bound Spirits. I didn’t dare stay and ran as fast as I could, finally arriving at the Stone Tomb.”

Noland Lee finished speaking, shaking his head with relief:

“Fortunately, those three Stone Tomb Bound Spirits didn’t chase after me, otherwise, I would have been a goner…”

Sergeant Mars waved at his teammates: “Put down your guns; what he said should be the truth..”

Sergeant Mars looked at Noland Lee:

..Honestly, you’re lucky. Those three Stone Tomb Bound Spirits should have gone to surround Sergeant Alvin Stafford and his team. After all, compared to you, his soldiers are a much greater threat to the Stone Tomb.”

Sergeant Mars waved his hand and led the team into the Stone Tomb: “Come on, Jarvis… keep up and don’t fall behind again.”

Noland Lee breathed a sigh of relief after dodging the interrogation, and followed the team into the Stone Tomb.

The size of this ghostly place was equivalent to two basketball courts.

From the exterior, it was about three stories high.

Behind the door were three narrow corridors leading to unknown destinations, with Undead Runes on the walls on both sides.

These Undead Runes emitted a dark red light, illuminating the corridors and making the atmosphere here extremely eerie.

Corporal Mars frowned as he glanced at the corridor, unable to find any traces left by the Death Notice spy.

He turned to look at Noland Lee:

“Jarvis, your task is to use the Rune Staff to modify the Undead Runes on the walls. Start now, and we’ll cover you. You don’t need to be too fast; safety first.”

“Alright, I’ll do it.”

Noland Lee nodded, his gaze quickly scanning over the Undead Runes.

He had completely deconstructed this Stone Tomb already.

As he looked at the Undead Runes on the wall now, he felt an understanding in his heart.

He could easily identify the places modified by the Death Herald spy.

Noland Lee frowned, pretending to think hard.

He raised the Rune Staff in his hand, deliberately hesitating before poking at the rune on the wall.

Seeing this, the sergeants immediately stood far away from him, not wanting to be affected by the possible “Death Storm.”.

As for Noland Lee himself, he was quite confident in his abilities.

He began working intently, changing back the Undead Runes with the Rune Staff that had been modified by the Death Herald spy.

‘”When hatred appears, we must repay it with passion and fervor.’

…No, no, that’s not how it’s written.

“The original text should be ‘we must accept it with silence and patience’.”

“And this line, ‘hatred is a seed that will bloom into furious blossoms’… this line was also modified by the spy. The original text is ‘it will bear melancholic fruits’.”

The touchpoint of the Rune Staff drew a few strokes on the wall, and Noland Lee modified the Undead Runes.

As Noland Lee operated, the light inside and outside the Stone Tomb changed

The red light indicating the frenzy state of the Bound Spirits disappeared.

The sharp wails of the Bound Spirits during their attack were also gone.

With the disappearance of the red light, visibility improved.

In the distance, Sergeant Alvin Stafford and the soldiers let out a cheer, filled with joy and excitement for having escaped calamity.

Those fierce Bound Spirits seemed to lose their energy and weakly swayed in the air, no longer displaying their ferocity and speed from before.

Imperial soldiers could easily shatter these slow-moving undead spirits with forked lightning.

The weakness of the Bound Spirits was likely due to the aftereffects of the “Fanatic Command.”

“Haha! It worked!”

Corporal Mars rejoiced, waving his fist.

The expressions of the sergeants around him were the same..
