Miss Witch's Speed ​​Run Manual

Arms...Blackwater Gang?

If it's the Blackwater Gang, the arms they're talking about are those...

Siege Powder Barrel!

The next moment, a black shadow emerged from Charles' feet and suddenly rushed away. Charles' figure gradually distorted.

At the moment when Charles's vision was about to disappear, she saw a flash of illusory fire.

Boom——!

Just as Charles' figure was replaced by a black shadow, the house in front of the black shadow exploded.

The violent explosion directly blew off the roof of the house. In an instant, the house and several surrounding houses turned into ruins filled with fire and smoke. Even the ground shook a few times.

The originally quiet streets gradually became boiling with cries and screams coming one after another. Charles, who was not too far away, only felt a wave of heat on his face, followed by waves of wailing and muttering.

That was the dying cry of someone who hadn't been killed yet, and it was now amplified a hundred times and exploded in Charles' mind.

"Ah……"

Ciel grabbed her hair in pain, as if she wanted to use the pain of pulling out her hair to cover up the desperate cries in her mind. She quickened her pace and ran quickly in the direction away from the explosion.

No...how could this happen to coincide with the internal strife within the Blackwater Gang?

After he killed the semi-superhuman Thomas and the Blackwater leader Solari, Charles simply asked Avina to help him get rid of Solari's nephew Eian. After that, her attention was attracted by dehydration and she ignored the Blackwater Party at all.

In her opinion, the Blackwater Gang issue has been perfectly resolved. If nothing unexpected happens, this gang will never have any connection with her in this life.

But what Charles didn't expect was that after being extremely unlucky, this originally insignificant foreshadowing almost cost him his life more than a month after it was buried.

After gradually escaping from the influence of despair, Charles' mood gradually became depressed.

Misfortune... did not stop after I intervened in the simulation, even though I came here as a new save file with no causal relationship at all.

This means that I have been under surveillance by someone or something.

This misfortune, if it corresponds to what is written in Charles' notes, should be a Level 2 misfortune, which is the level where even if I use [Prophet's Vision] to avoid it without any supernatural powers, I will still suffer minor injuries.

If you exclude Nia, with whom I didn't have direct contact, I have already come into contact with three third-level transcendents today, which is completely inconsistent with the intensity of Doom.

The real misfortune...is still waiting for me.

Charles gradually stopped running, calmed his slightly rapid breathing, and looked around vigilantly.

Where.

How and in what way will the next misfortune befall me?!

A misfortune in the slums that even a second-level "Judge" could not resist...

Charles suddenly raised his head and looked towards the Clock Tower Alley area not far away. The top of the tall tower was glowing with a faint light, as dazzling as a lighthouse searchlight in the dark night.

In order to avoid the howling in his head, he ran back to the area closest to the Savior Goddess Cult!

I can't be so unlucky...

Charles immediately changed direction and went into the alley, intending to go around a long distance and leave the Clock Tower Alley area directly, but at this moment, a white light suddenly flashed before her eyes.

Dry!

Four black shadows instantly emerged from under Charles and surrounded him from all sides in the narrow alley. The next moment, a white light slashed towards Charles' back.

Charles only felt a huge force behind him pushing him forward. After rolling several times on the ground, he managed to stabilize his body with the help of [Agility] and looked behind him.

Behind her, the black shadow holding the Black Flame Tower Shield had been cut in half and was gradually dissipating. Not far from the black shadow, a familiar white shadow was turning its wrist, clenching its fists, and looking in the direction of Charles.

It was as if a light was turned on in the alley. The entire dark alley was flickering, and countless white shadows twisted and appeared in all directions, staring at Charles at the windowsills, on the roofs, and at the end of the road.

It's Hugh!

But why would she attack herself directly?

Anyway, keep her steady first!

"Hugh! Is that you?"

Ciel shouted. At this moment, she only hoped that Xio could hear her voice, and didn't care whether other ordinary people could hear it.

This shout had an effect. At least the white shadows no longer made any follow-up moves, as if the previous attack was just a test.

Ta, tap, tap...

A sound of footsteps came from the end of the alley. Xio, dressed in a gorgeous white robe and with a faceless mask on his face, walked slowly towards Charles.

"The Inquisition, huh?"

Quinn just looked in Ciel's direction and spoke, his tone without any fluctuation.

"Did you hear that?"

Charles didn't rush to answer, but just delayed time, using this time to quickly think of a way to escape.

"You mean starting with Opold? If so, yes. I heard it."

Quinn spoke calmly, answering Ciel's question.

"Opold Thaddeus is the one to focus on."

"I answered your question. Please answer mine."

Xio looked in Ciel's direction and continued, "Are you from the Inquisition?"

This is a lie detector question.

As long as Ciel answered this question, she would be immediately judged as lying.

There was no way Charles could answer this question.

Previously, in order to free up space in the warehouse, Charles took out the [Echo of the Silver Timebinder], but the [Relic of the Glowing Bishop] had been left inside and finally came in handy at this time.

"Xiu, have you forgotten who I am? Do you still remember this?"

A silver-white light flashed, and a letter and an emblem appeared in Charles's hand. "You handed this to me personally."

A white shadow jumped down from the roof and landed in front of Charles. He reached out to take the letter and emblem and stuffed them directly into his mouth.

The next moment, the white shadow beside Xio reached into his belly, took out the envelope and badge, and handed them to Xio.

Quinn unfolded the envelope and glanced at it, then stared at the emblem in his hand, examining it carefully.

It was his own handwriting, the ink was specially made by the church, and even the emblem...

Shiro reached into his stomach again and pulled out an emblem, holding it up next to the emblem in Quinn's hand.

Exactly the same...even the aura above is exactly the same.

"……Um?"

Uncontrollable doubts rose in Xio's heart, and even made it impossible for her to remain calm.

Dehydration... This was clearly an incident for which I was fully responsible, and it had been resolved before it happened. I didn't even have time to leave for Buren City... Where did this letter come from?

Even the spiritual imprints inside the badges were exactly the same. If the two badges were completely mixed together and Xio were asked to distinguish them, she herself wouldn't be able to tell which one was real and which one was fake.

The most important thing is that the "judge" on the opposite side did not lie.

Is she really from the Inquisition?

No, it was true that he had never met all the members of the Inquisition, but Xio had a list and information of the "Judges" above the second level, and no one on the list had such body shape and hair color characteristics.

Moreover... there was a disgusting aura about the girl in front of him. He could not sense any respect for the goddess of savior from her - logically speaking, the people in the Inquisition would only be more fanatical in their faith.

These alone are not enough to convince Xio, and the evidence the girl produced cannot clear the suspicion against her.

She looked up in Ciel's direction and continued, "Please show me your emblem, Your Excellency the Inquisitor."

Ciel's heart sank when he heard Quinn's question.

If she hadn't pretended to be the Inquisition for convenience, she might have been able to scare Hugh with her identity as the "Saint", but now it seemed that she had walked right into trouble.

Perhaps because it involved the "Tribunal", Xio showed an attitude that he must prove Ciel's identity.

Really unlucky...

But Ciel really didn't have time to deal with Xio right now. She still had a lot of things to investigate, and she wanted to wait until noon to read Tara's investigation report. She didn't want to end the simulation so hastily...

Moreover, Charles was indeed unable to continue to produce evidence that he was the Inquisition.

"I did refuse to join the Inquisition, and I also rejected the invitation of the Savior Goddess Church. I pretended to be the Inquisition just to investigate the abnormality of Opold."

Ciel took a deep breath and decided to call for help.

"I am from the Russell family and work for Avina Russell. I will come to your house another day with gifts to apologize for any offense I have done to your church."

Xio in front of him pondered.

"Avina Russell..."

Avina's name seemed to really work.

"There was indeed a heretical spy from the Holy Advent sect among Miss Avina Russell's servants."

Xio took a few steps forward and said, "Miss, please cooperate with the investigation. It will be over soon."

Holy Advent Sect?

In an instant, Ciel understood what Quinn was doubting.

She suspected that she was a member of the Holy Advent sect.

Bringing up Avina's name not only failed to dispel Xio's suspicion, but deepened it.

Is it the [Sardana Badge] in my warehouse?

[Sardana Badge] was previously placed in the warehouse, and it was able to take effect, allowing cultists with the "Sardana Mark" to worship Charles.

But what was unexpected was that the people of the Savior Goddess Church seemed to be able to sense the aura of the [Sardana Badge].

Now, Charles wanted to destroy the [Sardana Badge] in the warehouse directly, but the system warehouse did not have this destruction function.

Cooperate with the investigation, but what investigation exactly are we cooperating with?

Charles' hand slowly dropped and touched the "good luck coin" in his pocket.

This is the seal that Lucy lent him. Ciel plans to wait until he can no longer resist the bad luck, then use the coin directly to see if he can reverse the bad luck.

Now, it was obvious that it was time to fight to the death. In front of Xio, Charles had no chance of winning.

Even if I were to activate [Spiritual Summoning] right now, Xu, who was on high alert against me, would be able to kill me before the blood formation was formed.

Without prior preparation and under the premise that the other party has warning and resistance, Charles will not be able to kill the third level through sacrifice, but will instead confirm his identity as a cultist.

"arrive."

Xio spoke abruptly, then she moved slightly to the side to make room.

A woman, trembling all over and covered with scars, holding a dagger in her hand, walked stiffly towards Charles.

There was no shadow under the woman, and instead there was a white shadow replicating her movements on the ground. The woman, who was a little confused, had eyes that obviously turned cold when she saw Charles.

"Don't worry, it's just a test, ma'am."

Quinn turned sideways to look in Ciel's direction and said, "If you get wounded, I will bear the pain for you."

this is……

A member of the Holy Advent sect?!

Previously, when they were at Deton Manor, Charles used the identity of the Inquisition to obtain internal information about the Savior Goddess Church. When they were investigating there, they caught some cultists who wanted to infiltrate the investigation team.

It was through the torture of the cultists that we learned from them that the Holy Advent Sect was also unaware of the sacrifice.

Ciel instantly understood what test Quinn was talking about.

The test that Xio mentioned... is it to use the [Sardana Badge] to control and eliminate the murderous intent of the person holding the "Sardana Mark"?

In Charles' sight, the woman's stiff steps began to accelerate. She held the dagger in reverse and rushed directly towards Charles.

The expression on the woman's face was full of resistance, but she quickly rushed in front of Charles, raised the dagger in her right hand high, and was about to stab towards Charles.

At this moment, the woman's raised right hand began to tremble, as if it was fighting against something. Even Charles in front of him could hear the "cracking" sound caused by the twisting and breaking of the woman's hand bones.

The woman was using her strong will to forcibly resist the control that Xio had deliberately weakened.

In front of Charles, the woman had a painful expression on her face, but her eyes gradually became fanatical. She looked at Charles and spoke tremblingly, as if she wanted to defend him:

"You...are not the Bishop..."
