Li Nuo glanced at the wand in the box and frowned slightly.
Something is wrong with the bone-setting wand.
It's not that there's something wrong with the wand itself, but that there's something wrong with the magical protective shield outside it.
Li Nuo clearly remembered that he reduced the thickness of the magic protective shield in front of the lieutenants at the meeting venue.
But now, the magical protective shield surrounding the Bone Wand continues unabated, becoming thicker and stronger than last time.
Correspondingly, the undead runes on the magic protective cover are also much more complicated, and the number of runes has doubled.
Li Nuo felt that things were a bit tricky, but facing his immediate boss, he had no choice but to work hard.
While Li Nuo frowned and looked at the wand, Murphya took out a cloth bag from under the cloak and put it into Li Nuo's hand:
"You need the original text, the translation and the rune stick to modify the undead runes. I brought them all to you. They are all in the cloth pocket. You can lift the magic protective shield here. I will lure the people from MI2 away. . Act quickly, Jarvis. MI2 has sent many investigators, and they are all looking for this wand."
Li Nuo reached into his cloth pocket and took out the manuscript and rune stick.
Looking up again, Murphy Ya, who came and went like the wind, was nowhere to be seen. Only the swirling mist could prove that she had just been here.
Li Nuo looked at the translation in his left hand, then at the rune stick in his right hand, and finally looked down at the bone wand in the metal box. He suddenly felt that he had become a qualified tool man.
Let's just say.
Why did the dangerous task of removing the magic protective shield fall entirely on him?
And everyone thought that he, Li Nuo, could handle this job on his own without worrying about his personal safety at all. Even a few words of "pay attention to safety" would be good.
besides.
If someone from MI2 came to the scene smelling the magic protective shield.
All they would see was a private tinkering with a wand.
This private was definitely not going to end well. Instead, his superior just ran away and nothing happened.
By then, this private, that is, Li Nuo himself, will definitely be inseparable from the whole incident, and may even become the scapegoat.
At this moment, Li Nuo felt like he had turned back into a social animal.
Before anything happened, all the work was thrown at him.
As soon as the incident happened, everyone brushed aside the problem and put all the blame on those who worked hard.
Before time travel, Li Nuo was treated like this in the company.
Why can't he change this situation after traveling through time?
What was the reason that made him become a tool?
Li Nuo was full of slander and complained secretly.
When he thought that someone from MI2 might appear at any time, he had to calm down, put aside distracting thoughts, and focus on the work in front of him.
He circled around the metal box at his feet a few times, changing angles to observe the magic protective cover, and soon discovered a troublesome place.
Assume that the number of undead runes on the magic protective shield is one thousand.
Then the translations provided by Murphy's Ya only account for about 400 of them, which is 40%.
Modifying the undead runes according to her translation would reduce the strength of the magic shield by 40% at most.
If Li Nuo wants to completely remove the magic protective shield, he must use the teachings in the "Ten Commandments of Martyrdom: General Outline".
"Forget it, let's just say 40%. Once the magic protective shield is weakened and I close the metal box, it won't be so easy for the MI2 investigators to catch up."
Li Nuo thought silently, squatted down and began to modify the undead runes.
Before that, he had not forgotten the explosive amount of energy on his account.
Last time, he spent 500 energy points to deconstruct the "Ten Commandments of Martyrdom: General Outline" from the bone-setting wand.
If you invest another few hundred points this time, what will you gain?
Li Nuo thought for a while and decided to throw out 100 energy points to test the waters first.
"System, consume 100 energy points to deconstruct this bone wand."
After a daze, the system sent a message:
[Deconstruction successful! 】
[䱱obtained the following decomposition results:]
[1. "Instruction Manual of the Bone-Setting Wand", the completeness increased from 5% to 15%. 】
[2. "The Use, Production and Improvement of Death Wands", completeness 45%. 】
[3. "How to Water a Magic Wand with "Love"", completeness 35%. 】
[4. "A large sound of wailing and pain", completeness 100%. 】
What are these things... The corners of Li Nuo's mouth twitched.
"Why is it all about wand-related knowledge...Am I going to open a wand shop in the future?"
Li Nuo took a deep breath and decided to smoke again.
If you can't get what you want in this lottery, you have to stop your losses in time.
"System, consume another 100 energy points to deconstruct the bone-setting wand."
[Deconstruction successful! 】
[You have obtained the following decomposition results:]

“…”
Li Nuo scanned the deconstructed information in his mind, held his heart, and exhaled deeply.
"Now I really want to be a wand shop owner."
Li Nuo lightly beat his chest:
"Ahem, cough, cough...I actually got so much wand knowledge, from making wands, repairing wands to using wands, everything. Okay, okay. I'm not angry. After all, it's a magic craft. I'll rely on it in the future. Even if you have a magic wand, you won’t starve to death…”
Li Nuo shook his head, calmed his mind, and gave up the idea of continuing to deconstruct the bone-setting wand.
As a veteran player who has become a giant in mobile games, he knows one thing very well:
Xuan does not change wrong, krypton does not change destiny, liver can replenish clumsy.
Facing a new pool, if the first 20 consecutive draws cannot be shipped, then stop it. Saving money and buying some delicious food is better than spending money without thinking.
Li Nuo calmed down after taking a few deep breaths and entered the working state of modifying the undead runes.
Time passes in the process of breaking the magic protective shield.
Unknowingly, Li Nuo weakened the magic protective shield by nearly 40% and was almost done.
During this period, no MI2 investigators appeared. None of the Imperial soldiers who were collecting Death Stones on the river bank came to pry.
Li Nuo works in a quiet environment and is highly focused.
"Boom, boom"
Someone was stepping on the stones.
Li Nuo stopped the pen tip, took a breath, put the rune stick and the translation into his cloth pocket, lifted it with his toes, and closed the cover of the metal box.
He was certain that the person coming was definitely not Murphy Ya.
Because Murphya comes and goes like the wind, there will be no obvious movement.
The person walking over with footsteps like this is most likely an MI2 investigator who is tracking the "Bone Wand".
Li Nuo picked up the cloth bag, stepped lightly, and slowly retreated towards the river bank.
As for the metal box where the Bone Wand is placed, let it be. This thing is a hot potato. Whoever wants it wants it. He doesn't want to take the blame anyway.
Li Nuo stepped back step by step, and soon he would be out of the shadow.
A female voice sounded in his ear:
"Stand where you are, Criminal Soldier No. 888."
Li Nuo stiffened and felt a dazzling red light flash before his eyes.
Looking carefully, a slender red light beam passed through the poisonous mist, shot from a short distance, and landed on his heart.
It was as if someone was pointing a laser sight at him.
When the visitor walked out of the poisonous mist and stood in front of Li Nuo, he discovered that the red light beam came from the red biochemical spores on the opponent's arm.
Judging from the other party's clothing, she is a senior investigator of MI2 with the rank of sergeant.
She is older, about 30 years old.
Looking at her beautiful and well-maintained face, Li Nuo couldn't help but think about how to get out.
"Don't move, Criminal Soldier No. 888. It only takes a tenth of a second for my "blazing spores" to open a big hole in your chest. "
The female investigator stared at Li Nuo and stopped next to the metal box.
She used her booted right foot to pick at the edge of the box and opened the lid.
Looking at the magic protective shield full of death energy, the female investigator's eyes showed no emotion.
She raised her head, looked at Li Nuo calmly and asked:
"What were you doing just now, Criminal Soldier No. 888? Do you know what this is?"
Facing her question, Li Nuo pursed his lips and chose to remain silent, hoping that Murphy Ya would come back soon.
"I know what you are waiting for, Criminal Soldier No. 888. I have seen many people like you."
The female investigator raised her finger and pointed at the cloth bag in Li Nuo's hand:
"I can tell you for sure that your commander will not come back. She is entangled in trouble and can't get away. Don't expect her to show up here and block anything for you. Now, hand over what you have in your hands. You can also choose not to hand it over. But as long as I use the Blazing Spores, the bag of things will also be mine."
Li Nuo took a breath, waved his right arm, and threw the cloth bag out.
The female investigator caught the bag, briefly glanced at the contents, and then looked at Li Nuo again:
"I am satisfied with your cooperation. Now, as an investigator of MI2, I am informing you that you must be examined by MI2 because you are suspected of participating in the illegal activities of the death society. Hand over your gun and raise your hands. , Hold your head and squat down. I will take you back to the legion fortress immediately. If you dare to resist, you will be killed on the spot."
"Sir, I'm still performing legion missions." Li Nuo tried to argue.
"No, your legion mission has been terminated from the moment I appeared. Don't try to challenge my patience. Any resistance or excuse will confirm your identity as a spy of the Death Society. Now, hand over your partner Gun, raise your hands, squat with your head in your hands. Don't ask me to repeat it again."
The female investigator's attitude was very tough and her tone was cold. The red spores on her arms squirmed, revealing a faint glow of fire, full of threats.
"You mean, I'm guilty, right?"
The female investigator smiled contemptuously:
"Yes, Criminal Soldier No. 888. Recognize the facts. You will either be hanged or locked up in prison for the rest of your life. No one can save you, not even Mephia."
"Okay. I envisioned this day coming. Fortunately, I never like asking others for help."
Li Nuo's eyes narrowed slightly, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.
He scanned the other person's appearance and body up and down, and his eyes gradually became less restrained, as if some shackles in his heart had been opened by him.
He slowly moved his hands and removed the rifle from his back and the pistol from his waist.
"Why don't you just kill me, sir?"
Li Nuo threw the gun to the ground and asked casually.
After he finished speaking, he did not obey the other person's wishes and raised his hands. Instead, he naturally lowered his arms by his sides, straightened his body, looked at the other person's eyes, and looked at them levelly without fear.
Li Nuo became quiet and calm, no longer as nervous as before, and completely ignored the red spores on the opponent's arm.
"I am an investigator of MI2 and I have to act according to the rules. According to imperial law, only the Inquisition can punish you."
The female investigator frowned slightly.
Li Nuo's successive changes made her feel something was wrong, but she still couldn't figure out the reason.
"Raise your hands, hold your head and squat down, Criminal Soldier No. 888." The female investigator's tone became colder, and the flames on her arms became brighter.
Li Nuo was unmoved.
He raised his head slightly, looked at the ceiling, and exhaled:
"You won't kill me, sir. There's no need to say the same thing again. The only people who want to kill me are spies from the Death Council. It's so rare that I actually saw a real MI2 investigator."
"Don't delay, Criminal Soldier No. 888."
The female investigator pointed her arm at Li Nuo, and the red spores swelled and spit out a wisp of flames.
"Come on. Put your arms down. Aren't you tired of raising your arms?"
Li Nuo sneered, shook his hand, walked to the wall, hugged his arms and leaned on the wall.
"Don't challenge my patience!" The female investigator's face showed sullenness, no longer the cold look of a superior person before.
Li Nuo crossed his arms and looked at the female investigator playfully, unabashedly scanning the other person's body lines.
"Sir, what's your surname?"
The female investigator pursed her lips tightly, and there was sullenness in her eyes, but she never used the spores to emit blazing flames.
"Relax, sir. It's just the two of us here. Let's talk. Let's talk about the Empire, about the undead, about this damned place of misery."
Li Nuo looked at the angry female investigator who did not dare to take action, and raised a smile at the corner of his mouth:
"You know what? Sir. If it weren't for the fact that I don't have enough resources now, you wouldn't have the opportunity to scream in front of me. In my eyes, you and Murphyya are actually similar to fools."
"Crime Soldier No. 888! Watch your words and deeds! Don't force me to kill you." The female investigator took a step forward with a sharp voice.
The red spore spurted out a ball of flame, hitting Li Nuo's face, but disappeared without a trace when it was about to touch the tip of Li Nuo's nose.
"The roar of incompetence is as noisy as the bark of a dog."
Li Nuo remained calm, raised his right hand, stretched out his finger, and nodded his head:
"Your place is not very good. You are destined to be led by the enemy. Do you want me to prove it to you?"
"Crime Soldier No. 888! Raise your hands, hold your head and squat down!"
The female investigator retracted her arm, pulled out the gun from her waist, and put the cold muzzle of the gun against Li Nuo's chin.
Li Nuo used his index finger to push away the opponent's gun and walked towards the metal box on the ground:
"How much do you know about this wand? Do you know what the patterns on it represent? Do you know what status it has in death magic? Do you know what it will bring to the Colabo Legion?"
The female investigator rushed over, grabbed Li Nuo's arm, pushed him away from the box, then closed the lid of the box with her toes, and pointed the gun at Li Nuo with both hands:
Her eyes widened, she gritted her teeth and said word by word:
"Crime Soldier No. 888! Take one more step forward and kill him on the spot!"
Li Nuo completely ignored the other party and said to himself:
"Ah~ well, that's a shame, sir. It seems you don't know what this wand does. Considering your bad attitude, I'm not going to tell you."
Li Nuo turned around, pointed in the direction of the river bank, smiled playfully at the female investigator and said:
"Look there, there are many, many Death Stones with extremely high energy concentration on the banks of the underground river and in the water. The Vidas army has had a great harvest. They intercepted a large number of Death Stones and plan to send them back to Cora Bo Legion Fortress.”
"The legion's trophies have nothing to do with you, Criminal Soldier No. 888. You have been arrested now." The female investigator pulled the trigger and fired a bullet from a silenced pistol.
The warhead landed at Li Nuo's feet and splashed with stone chips.
"Stop provoking me, Criminal Soldier No. 888. You guessed it right, I won't kill you. But that doesn't mean you can leave here intact."
Facing the threat from the female investigator, Li Nuo shrugged slightly:
"Oh, really? Are you going to break my legs? Which one? I would say you should choose my left and right legs because they are the weakest."
"Piu~" Another silenced bullet was fired and flew past Li Nuo's cheek.
"It's just a joke, don't be nervous."
Li Nuo smiled and moved toward the female investigator very slowly:
"There is one thing that I have never been able to figure out. Where did the Necronomicon sect find so many spell-casting materials? Sorry, I forgot, you are stupid. You don't even know what I am talking about. But, it doesn't matter."
Li Nuo stopped in front of the female investigator and allowed the other party's gun to be pressed against his chest.
He stretched out his upper arm and put his wrist in front of the other person:
"Come on, arrest me. Take me back to the Legion's fortress. Then I will know the answer to your question."
Li Nuo's sudden compromise made the female investigator look stunned in her angry expression.
A full two seconds passed before she realized that it was time to take out the shackles.
Being led by Li Nuo unknowingly, a sense of humiliation arose in her heart.
The female investigator waved her right hand, smashed the pistol grip on Li Nuo's temple, and roared with spittle flying:
"Crime Soldier No. 888! Hold your head and squat down!"
Li Nuo pressed his painful temples and shook his body a few times, but did not squat down:
"Only prisoners can squat! Damn you. You are a bunch of pigs with low IQs. I have made it so clear, don't you understand? Damn, I have seen through it. Working for people like you is a real special code. Die in vain.”
The female investigator hooked her foot and tripped Li Nuo to the ground. Then she bent her knees and pressed on the other person's back. She forcefully broke off Li Nuo's arms and cuffed his hands.
The female investigator was scolded by Li Nuo, which aroused anger in her heart.
She hammered Li Nuo hard on the lower back and pulled him up from the ground.
Her voice became extremely sharp because she was too angry, like a shrew scolding:
"Crime Soldier No. 888, you are finished! I will add three more charges to your case! Insulting MI2 investigators! Refusing to cooperate with the investigation and interrogation! Violently resisting arrest! Just wait until you are hanged!"
Li Nuo suddenly calmed down.
He turned his head and looked at the other party with full compassion in his eyes:
"Fools don't deserve to be saved. This is a country destined to be miserable. Your performance made me let go of a lot of burdens in my heart, thank you."
After speaking, Li Nuo remained silent.
He called up the system messages in his mind and took a look.
[You received slight damage x4! 】
[Passive deconstruction activates! 】
[Your deconstruction completion degree of "Ka'Sa" has increased from 0% to 0.6%. 】
[You have obtained the following deconstruction results:]
[1. The deconstruction target’s name is Kasha, a senior investigator of MI2, with the rank of sergeant. She is 35 years old. 】
[2. An important recent memory fragment:]
[A gloomy-looking Second Division officer stood in front of Kasha and said:]
["I have received reliable information that a group of spies are wandering around the border of suffering with dangerous magic items. That magic item may be a powerful wand. I order you and Cavado Ensign, go search for the whereabouts of the wand, and be sure to bring this dangerous thing back to the Colabo Legion Castle for destruction.
["In addition, I also got news. Among the spies was an imperial captain named Martha Morphia. Yes, it was the Morphia who was rumored to have died in Tomb No. 669. Obviously, she defected to the informant. The Death Society has become our enemy. Bring more people with you and be sure to bring the wand back."]
Sure enough, I came here for the Bone Wand...
Li Nuo looked at the man speaking in the memory fragment.
The other party's appearance is not very clear, but the badge on his chest is relatively clear.
It says "Leader of the Wand Destruction Team".
It seems that the investigators from the second division who came to track the wand this time should be members of the wand destruction team.
