I was transported from Lobotomy Corporation to another world.

Leng Shuang took out a magic stone from her skirt and gathered magic within it.

The magic stone then disappeared, and when it reappeared, several words were engraved on it.

"Lure the two to the [Gravekeeper]'s location. If possible, kill Redner along the way and capture Noelle."

Leng Shuang paused for a few seconds, then hid the magic stone back inside her skirt.

Then, Leng Shuang turned around and said to the man in the trench coat behind her, "SA? 4011, chase! Lure the target to its location. Map."

Cold Frost tossed out a roll of map, which one of the men in the trench coat caught and unfolded.

The other trench coat-wearing men, including 068, all gathered together to look at the map.

"This seems to be that... oh, what's its name again?"

"Why are you looking at me? I don't know either."

"Fine, whatever, as long as we get those two here, that's enough."

068 "We can catch up with them right now and kill Redner! It's not too late to catch up now!"

【SA?401■: An Unknown Organization】

[They were numerous, and their uniform attire consisted of gray or black trench coats, glasses, masks, and restrained necklaces.]

[The standard weapons consist of three types: muskets, longswords, and staves. None of these weapons are particularly special...]

[They are called SA?4011, where SA stands for unit, and the 1 in 4011 represents level.]

[It seems they had original names, but they were all replaced with numbers.]

Cold Frost seemed prepared to continue the pursuit; in fact, she was reluctant to lead the two to the location of the [Gravekeeper].

Cold Frost preferred to keep the mission rewards to herself, so she was in a bad mood.

Cold Frost slashed a 4011 who was blocking her way with a scythe, then kicked the corpse aside.

This silenced the crowd behind them, and the previously noisy group instantly quieted down.

After wiping the blood splattered on her face, Leng Shuang said expressionlessly, "From now on, if the mission fails, you die."

After finishing speaking, Leng Shuang gripped her scythe with one hand and chased after the two who had run away, leaving a purple afterimage in her wake.

The remaining one, 4011, grabbed his weapon and ran out as well. Passersby kept their distance when they saw him.

After all, the uniformed individuals were carrying weapons, which looked suspicious.

[Perspective: Reed and Noelle]

Reed put his arm around Noelle and tried to walk in places with fewer people.

Noelle, who was being held, slowly opened her eyes and noticed that Reed's speed had slowed down considerably.

Noelle initially thought Reed was deliberately slowing down, but gradually she sensed something was wrong.

Noelle said, "Reed, your speed... has slowed down a lot."

Reed's eyes were fixed on the road ahead when Noelle's sudden voice startled him, and he turned to look at his speed.

Reed frowned instantly. "Why has the speed slowed down?"

Reed thought he hadn't used enough force, so he increased his speed.

However, it was found that the speed was still not astonishing as before; this speed was only slightly faster than that of an average person.

Reed quickly walked around a corner and put Noelle down on the ground.

Red then tried running two laps in place, but he found that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't run as fast as before.

Noelle looked at the somewhat annoyed Reid and said, "Can't you change your speed back?"

Reed "didn't know".

Noelle was also at a loss, since Reed was fine, he was just suddenly running slower and slower.

Noelle told Reed to run two more laps to see if he showed any signs of slowing down.

Fortunately, Reed's speed didn't decrease this time, but it also didn't return to its original speed.

Noelle was even more confused; what could have slowed Reed down?

Originally, Red would create a strong gust of wind when he ran; now, Red runs only a little faster than a normal person.

Noelle carefully recalled the previous events, wondering if there was any reason why Reed's speed was abnormal.

Noelle, as if remembering something, called out to Reid, who seemed bewildered, "Reid, do you remember! The red smoke that came out of the headmaster's body after you killed him!"

After hearing this, Red began to recall carefully. He remembered seeing the red smoke suddenly drift towards him and then enter his body.

Seeing that there were no side effects, Reed gradually forgot about it.

Ah, the speed has slowed down now; it really might be caused by that red smoke!

Reed nodded and said, "Very likely. Do you have any ideas?"

Noelle: "Hmm... I think this must be a curse... My mother told me a story, and she said a curse is like this..."

"To be honest, I don't know what the solution is... but I think killing the god that the principal mentioned... might restore it."

"I'm sorry, although this..." Noel's voice trailed off, after all, her hands could only be restored by killing a god.

Noelle felt she had wronged Reed; if she hadn't hired Reed, Reed wouldn't have ended up like this.

Reed is probably really angry right now...

But before Noel could finish speaking...

Reed scratched his head, then said in a flat tone, "Okay, so how do we find that god?"

Noelle was taken aback by Reed's calm tone. "Reed! I was talking about God!"

(?˙ー˙?) "I know, it seems a bit troublesome."

(?Д?) "It's...it's a god! Gods are all very powerful and terrifying! Their strength is..."

(?˙ー˙?) "Then do you have any other ideas?"

Noelle pursed her lips and thought for a moment, "Ah...ah, this...no, it seems there's no way..."

Noelle suddenly remembered something important: "My parents! They're still in jail! We..."

"We have to get my parents out of here first!"

Noelle was getting impatient; after all, who wouldn't be impatient in her own shoes?

Reed noticed a piece of paper next to him, glanced at it, and then showed it to Noelle.

The paper was shoved onto Noelle's face, and Noelle angrily stepped back, staring at the words on the paper...

(?Д?) "Did Mom and Dad run away?"

The words on the paper concerned Noel's parents' escape; almost all the prison guards were knocked unconscious, and none of them died.

Someone rescued Noelle's parents, but no one knows who that person is, or where Noelle's parents are now.

After seeing her parents escape safely, Noelle's tense expression relaxed, and a smile appeared on her lips.

But Red felt something was strange; Red felt that it all seemed too coincidental...

Red didn't know why, but he always felt like he was being constantly guided.

But the thought only flashed through Reed's mind for a moment before he shook his head and put it out of his mind.

Reed wasn't good at thinking, so he'd better not think about such brain-teasing things.

Afterwards, Reid and Noelle rested for a while and discussed their plans for the future.

Although the goal is somewhat wishful thinking, even a bit magical and fantastical.

But Noelle gritted her teeth and made the decision, even though this goal seemed like suicide, and even made Noelle lack confidence.

Objective: To kill the unknown god.

Reed never expected that simply taking on a random job for some money would lead him into such a huge mess.

Red didn't actually want to kill any god, or even care about anything else.

Initially, Red only heard that Noelle had killed the headmaster and rescued his parents.

Now that both tasks are complete, my speed has slowed down. The only way to revert to my original speed is to kill that god.

Reid covered his head and muttered, "Why do I always have to go against these damn gods..."
