Chapter 98 97. Hitting the right spot

Four days have passed since the fall of Corabo's army.

This morning.

Somewhere in the borderland of misery, inside the secret outpost of MI2.

Moster wore a silver mask and a black hood, covering himself tightly without exposing any skin, and not even a strand of hair appeared on the brim of his hat.

He sat upright behind the desk, with his arms bent and his elbows resting on the armrests of the chair.

His ten fingers were crossed in front of him, forming a triangular mountain peak.

"Cavado, three days ago, you submitted an investigation report to me. You said in the report that the murderer of Kaisha was most likely an imperial traitor named Yog. He controlled the undead to assassinate

It’s Kasha…”

Most paused for two seconds:

"The Emperor laid off the person who originally sat in my position and asked me to command you. This is a move to hope that MI2 will make changes, Cavado. So the way you used to work has to be changed.

Adjustments have been made. What I want is the truth of the matter that you investigated, not a false lie that you compiled and thought you could use to communicate...

"Now, Cavado, tell me. After I denied your first investigation results, what kind of investigation report did you bring."

Lieutenant Cavado stood by the desk, took off his hat, held it in his hand, put it in front of his abdomen, and spoke with a heavy tone.

"I'm sorry, sir. I was negligent last time. This time I brought a new investigation report.

"According to my investigation, Kaisha's death was very strange. I originally thought the murderer was the undead from the Necronomicon sect or the traitor named Yog, but as the investigation deepened, I found that something was wrong."

"Well, that's right. You have to believe in evidence rather than conjectures that are divorced from reality. Continue." Moster nodded his chin invisibly.

"I found the vehicle driven by Kaisha in the underground secret passage. All the supplies in the vehicle were there, including extremely effective combat potions and the favorite tobacco of imperial soldiers. I walked through the door of the underground secret passage and came to

Next to the underground river, I saw a battle scene. I thought at the time that the traces of the battle at the scene were left when the undead attacked Kai'Sa. At that time, I initially determined that the murderer of Kai'Sa was a self-destructing skeleton soldier. But the military intelligence

The laboratory reports from the three offices refute this speculation."

Captain Cavado took out a stack of paper documents and placed them in front of his commander:

"After inspection, there are obvious abnormalities in the bone fragments and flesh foam stuck in the cracks of the stone. The bone fragments are indeed left by the undead structure, but there are bullet marks left by machine gun bullets on them. Kaisha's team did not carry any light

Machine gun. In addition, the minced meat is not fragments of human limbs, but pork, to be precise, pork in canned pork."

"So someone deliberately faked the crime scene, right?"

"Yes, sir."

"Look, Cavado, aren't we one step closer to the truth? So, who is this person who faked the scene?" Most asked.

"Sir, I found some important clues, but to be honest, I am getting more and more confused."

Captain Cavado opened his briefcase, took out documents one after another, and placed them on his desk:

"After I entered the fortress of the Colabo Legion, I used secret orders to communicate with the spies in the legion and obtained important information from them. First of all, Yug, who guards the underground morgue and incinerator, was contaminated by the Necromantic Cult.

A taboo was violated.

"In his dormitory, he set up a ritual circle for summoning zombies and desecrated nearly seventy corpses. I have already learned about the origin of the lines of the circle, the origin of the death stone that supplies energy to the circle, etc.

We have preliminary investigation results and they are all in the documents.”

Moster's hands did not move, keeping his fingers crossed.

He looked at the desk. The documents on the desk floated in front of him without any wind, and the pages slowly turned.

Facing this scene, Cavado's eyes showed a trace of tremor and envy.

Moster's reading speed is very fast. In half a minute, he read dozens of pages of reports.

Captain Cavado said:

"The people who provided Yug with the knowledge of the magic circle pattern and the stone of death are spies of the Death Society. Their disguised identity is the guards of the steam train. Now they have been deprived of their status as guards and sent to the army at the mountain pass as criminal soldiers.

went.

"These spies transport criminal soldiers for the legion all year round. They hid the death stones, books recording death magic, potions, props, etc. needed to learn death magic in the bodies of a pair of criminal soldier brothers.

"After the two corpses were sent to the underground morgue, Yug obtained the forbidden knowledge in the corpses. He used the corpses in the morgue to practice the art of sewing corpses. He also prayed to important figures in the death-complaining society.

, and under the other party's temptation, he set out to set up a ritual circle to summon the walking corpse.

"We should have discovered Yug's abnormality earlier. But Yug's skin disease is really confusing. His white skin just covers up the external manifestations of being eroded by death energy. I guess this is a sign of death.

The main reason why he was selected as a spy within the legion."

After reading the document, Moster raised his finger slightly to signal Cavado to continue.

"Sir, we simulated the range of influence of Yug's summoning circle.

"After calculation, the castle's three underground floors to the three floors above ground are all within the influence of the magic circle.

"We repeatedly confirmed and came to a conclusion. That is, although the summoning circle deployed by Yug can affect the three underground floors of the castle, it is still some distance away from the scene of Kaisha's murder.

"If Yug wanted to send his dead men to fake the scene or launch an attack on Kaisha, he would have to lead the team around half of the fortress and enter the underground from the steam boiler room. This is impossible.

Because many people saw him near the castle that night. Our informants placed in the fortress can also prove that Yug always stayed on the ground and never went underground.

"After I realized that my investigation was going in the wrong direction, I immediately started looking for new clues. I soon received new information from the army that was clearing the ruins of the fortress."

Cavado placed another document on the table and continued:

"On the night of the fall of the Colabo Legion fortress, about 20 erring soldiers were detained in the solitary room on the third floor underground. All of these soldiers died tragically in the fire in the guard duty room, but one person escaped, and that was Sin Soldier 888

No., Lenore Jarvis.

"The troops cleaning up the ruins of the castle confirmed that they did not see the body of Lenore Jarvis. The person who confirmed this was Sergeant Mars, Lenore Jarvis's immediate superior.

"It is worth noting that the door connecting the guard duty room and the stairwell was locked from the inside. The fire that burned the soldiers was limited to the inside of the guard room. These signs all indicate that someone helped Lenno Jarvis

Escaped from the solitary room and faked the tragic death of Lenno Jarvis.

"Only then did I remember that the area affected by Yug's summoning circle includes the confinement room on the third underground floor..."

Most raised his hand and interrupted Cavado's speech:

"You mean, after the soldiers in the solitary room were killed, Yog turned them into walking zombies and helped Leno Jarvis escape from the third underground floor. Then, Yog controlled the walking zombies to lock the guard duty room from the inside.

door, and created a fire to make it look like Leno Jarvis also died tragically, right? So you think Leno Jarvis is Yug's accomplice. The two of them jointly murdered Kaisha? "

"No, sir. I think the murderer is Lenno Jarvis. Because Yug has only shown the extraordinary ability to command the walking zombies from beginning to end, and our informant did not see him commanding the skeleton soldiers. And in the case of Kaisha's murder

At the discovery site, I only saw the remains of skeleton soldiers, and the only undead that attacked the steam boiler room were skeleton soldiers."

Captain Cavado took a deep breath:

"So, I finally concluded that Lenno Jarvis was the murderer. But...but, I couldn't figure out how he commanded the skeleton soldiers. I asked everyone who had come into contact with Lenno Jarvis,

Everyone reported that there were no traces of erosion by death energy on his body. His skin color was normal, his speech was full of energy, and there was no sign of physical weakness or shortness of breath."

Meister thought for a moment and asked:

"Cavado, let's assume that the murderer is Li Nuo Jarvis. The feud between him and Kaisha is his motive. But is the gap in strength between the two too big? I once observed Li Nuo Jarvis

Si, he is just an ordinary person who has just been injected with a strengthening potion, without any energy fluctuations at all. Have you ever thought about how he can kill Kai'Sa before he can react? Also, have you?

Do you think the person who forged the underground river crime scene was also Lenno Jarvis?"

"Yes, sir. I even suspect that the team of skeleton soldiers who attacked the underground boiler room was the work of Lenno Jarvis, but" Captain Cavado opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

Moster finished the sentence for the other party:

"However, the fact that there is no pollution from death in Lenno Jarvis makes you confused and has difficulty believing your own conjecture, right?"

"Yes, sir. Anyone who is exposed to the forbidden power will show very obvious external characteristics. Yug also has it, but it has been covered up by his own physical defects for a long time.

"Leno Jarvis has no physical defects, and we can't see any abnormal phenomena on his body. But one thing is very clear, that is, Leno Jarvis is very familiar with death magic. Kaisha arrests him

At that time, he said a lot of things like crazy and accurately predicted the fall of the fortress of the Colabo Legion. This part of the content is also included in my report."

Captain Cavado opened the document and showed it to his superior.

While reading, Moster muttered something:

"'Talk about the empire, talk about the undead, talk about the damn borderland of suffering', 'You are all just like fools', 'You will only be led by the enemy'. Well, interesting, this is what Lenno Jarvis said

He had already noticed that we were impatient, and he knew very well the crux of this life-and-death war. I originally arranged for a nurse to be his love partner, just to weaken his IQ with love, but I didn't expect it.

He was not fooled at all, but became more and more sober. This kind of guy with superior intelligence is the most difficult to deal with."

Meister's ten fingers shook regularly, making arcs like waves.

"Cavado, I have some guesses."

"All ears, sir."

"It was not Jarvis who killed Kaisha, but the wizard who told the Death Society. On the night when the fortress fell, Yug received action instructions from the person he prayed to during his prayers. He helped Jarvis escape from the confinement room.

After escaping from the trap, guide the other party to meet up with the wizard from the Death Council. After the two parties meet, they leave the legion fortress through the underground river together.

"Jarvis was resentful of the Imperial Army, so he accepted the invitation from the Death Society. He and the wizards from the Death Society met Ka'Sa on the way. Jarvis asked the Death Society's people to kill Ka'Sa.

To relieve his hatred, the people who sued the death society killed Kasha and arranged a false crime scene.

"In this way, it completely explains the cause of Kasha's death, who arranged the false crime scene, and why there were no signs of contamination on Jarvis. Because the person who did it that night was not an ordinary person at all.

But it was the wizard who came to attend his death ceremony."

After hearing this, Captain Cavado's eyes trembled, he thought for a few seconds, and nodded heavily:

"Yes, sir. Your speculation is more convincing than mine and more in line with the actual investigation situation. But why did the people who sued the death society want to deal with Jarvis?"

"Why do you know it in your heart, Cavado, use your brain carefully. You have caught so many apprentices of wizards from the Death Society, how many of them can write necromancy runes with a 100% success rate? Li

Nuo's talent as a wizard is far higher than that of a wizard apprentice."

Cavado showed a look of realization:

"Yes, sir, yes. After you reminded me, I realized how capable this guy Jarvis is. If he joins the death society, he will definitely become a headache for us.

"What are we going to do next, sir? Go to the eastern border defense line and search carefully for traces of Jarvis and the Death Society wizards?"

"No." Moster shook his hand:

"It is impossible for the people who sued the Death Council to take Jarvis east. From the moment the Colabo Army fell, the entire border defense line entered the highest level of alert. Even I may not be able to cross the border defense line and return

The heart of the empire."

Moster raised a finger:

"If Jarvis wants to follow the people from the Death Council back to the hinterland of the Empire, there is only one way to go. That is to cross the Blade Mountains, reach the "Fission Wilderness" of the Golden Federation, and then return to the Empire from the illegal crossing in the wilderness.

.We cannot control the illegal crossings of the Golden Federation, but we can still block the passes of the Blade's Edge Mountains."

"Seal the pass. But sir, if Jarvis and the people from the Death Society don't cross the mountain through the pass controlled by our empire, but take the pass of the Necromancer Cult, wouldn't we be unable to catch them?" Kawa

Ask more.

"No. I know very well the moral character of those people in the Death Society." Moster waved his hand confidently:

"The people of the Death Society are eager to master the power of death as a living person, and they look down on the undead of the Necromancer Cult from the bottom of their hearts. The Death Society has finally managed to get a talented apprentice candidate from the empire, and of course it must be cultivated well.

, turning him into a serious death wizard. There is no way he could be sent to the territory of the undead and transformed into an undead. Therefore, nine times out of ten, the people who sue the death society will take Jarvis from the empire's

Pass through the pass, climb over the Blade's Edge Mountains, and arrive at the Golden Commonwealth.

"As for who the Death Society sorcerer who helped Jarvis escape from the fortress is, I have some speculations. That person is most likely the leader of the wand destruction team who betrayed the empire by carrying the bone wand. It was this traitor who cooperated with the Necronomicon sect.

A ritual to summon the undead army began within the legion."

Cavado was convinced, convinced, and said from the bottom of his heart:

"Sir, your reasoning is much more reliable than mine. Then I will personally take people to guard the pass and never let Jarvis and the people who sued the death society cross the mountains."

"Okay, Cavado, I officially authorize you to go to the pass to carry out this task. In addition, there is one more thing."

Mostert continued:

"Whether the members of the Death Guild around Jarvis are traitors of the Wand Destruction Team or not, he has considerable strength. Well, in order to ensure the success of the operation, I allow you to mobilize a group of biochemical soldiers with proliferative armor."

"!!" Captain Cavado's eyes widened suddenly, and his tone suddenly became excited:

"Proliferating armor, biochemical soldiers. Sir, our research plan is successful?! Has the Emperor approved our investment in proliferating armor and biochemical soldiers? That's great! We must prove to the Imperial Army that the Imperial people do not need to know about the Necromancer.

We can defeat the Necromancer Sect with just a few words! The power of biochemical mutation is enough to defeat everything!"

Moster raised his hand and gently pressed it to calm his excited subordinates:

"Cavado, calm down. The research plan has not yet been completely successful, and there are still many research parameters that need to be adjusted. This time you go to hunt for Jarvis, and you can use people from the Death Council to test the combat effects of proliferating armor and biochemical soldiers.

.After you come back, remember to prepare a detailed report and submit it to MI3.

"If during the search for Jarvis, you find traces of the traitor, I allow you to use all means to keep him. This order has a higher priority than the search for Jarvis, because the traitor has bones in his hands.

Magic wand.”

"Yes, sir!"

Cavado responded loudly, straightening his back and feeling excited in his heart.

He took the order from Most, raised his hand in salute, and turned to leave.

Meister was the only one left in the office.

"Eh…"

A soft sigh floated in the office.

"It's very difficult to deal with a bunch of people who have no idea what a wizard is.

"In a country where magic cannot be mentioned, it is even more difficult to command a bunch of idiots who are attracted to wizards when they hear about them.

"Father, Father. Since you hate wizards and magic, and don't accept alchemy, why did you call me back to take over this mess? You just want to use the extraordinary knowledge in my mind to help you manage MI2.

?

"The power of magic is great, and so are wizards, father. I helped you destroy the Death Council, and new magic institutions will appear in the empire. One is more powerful than the other, and each is more extreme than the other...

"Do you want me to fight against those behemoths..."

Moster lit up a cigarette in distress.

He held the cigarette between his fingers.

The cigarette butt did not come into contact with the mask or lips.

He took a slow breath.

The sparks in the cigarette butt become brighter and the tobacco burns quickly.

"Huh~"

The sound of exhalation came out, but there was no white smoke visible in the office.

"Let's maintain the status quo for now. The death party is relatively easy to deal with... I'm afraid the new magical organization is something I can't mess with."

Chapter 2 is at 12 noon!

Starting from tomorrow, the update time will be adjusted to noon to prevent everyone from staying up late to read books and hurt their health.
