Hehehe…

Noland Lee watched Sergeant Pim, who was grinding his teeth at him, and quietly laughed.

This whatchamacallit investigator from Division Intelligence Unit Two is an arrogant, fallacious, and smooth talker, with inexplicable hostility towards him, Noland Lee.

Accusing him of being contaminated by the doctrines of the Undead Cult, labeling him as an accomplice of the Death Notice assassin, and warning him of betraying the Imperial Army at crucial moments…

It was unclear what was going on between Intelligence Department 4 and Division Intelligence Unit Two which caused an investigator from Intelligence Unit Two to harbor resentment towards a Sin Soldier.

This really made Noland feel perplexed, and for the time being, he had a hard time making sense of it.

But there were two things Noland could confirm.

The first:

The investigator before him, named Pim, had a serious obsessive-compulsive disorder.

He combed his parting meticulously so that it was perfectly symmetrical on both sides. He also neatly folded his documents and glasses cloth into perfect squares and arranged them in different pockets on his left and right side, respectively.

All symptoms of OCD.

Noland might not rank as high as Pim, nor did he hold a higher status, but he could still use some tricks to make this guy burn with anger.

Don’t underestimate the power of making someone tick.

Some people could rage for an entire day in the heat of anger.

Others would lose their composure when they couldn’t vent their anger, inadvertently exposing their weaknesses.

If they could make this Pim lose his temper to the point of irrationality, it wouldn’t be a bad way to probe his inner thoughts.

The second thing Noland could confirm was related to himself.

As expected, he had probably become the centerpiece of something passively.
