Miss Witch's Speed ​​Run Manual

After saying that, Ashford nodded to Lucy and walked towards the door, looking like he was ready to leave.

This Ashford... doesn't seem to have any problems.

Unfortunately, Tara was not there to find out whether he was lying.

dong dong dong-

Just as Ashford reached the door, there was a violent knock on the door, causing everyone present to look towards the door.

"come in."

Charles spoke.

The knock on the door sounded urgent, not like that of a butler or a maid.

Soon, the door opened and Tara's petite figure appeared at the door. Ashford moved sideways a little to make room and felt the scent of the potion in the flesh and blood of this little maid.

A superhuman? A maid?

The Russell family or the Deton Group? Are they so arrogant? Are there even extraordinary people willing to do this?

Tara walked quickly to Charles' side, leaned over and whispered in her ear:

"Master Ciel, one is missing, the other two are fine..."

One is missing, the other two are normal...what does this mean?

Ashford, who had just stepped out of the living room, stopped and looked back curiously, only to meet the cold gaze of the red-haired girl.

"Professor Ashford, please stay."

Ciel spoke slowly, addressing Ashford who was about to leave.

In an instant, Ashford understood what the maid meant by "one person is missing, the other two are normal."

That was the "doctor" who had reviewed the paper with him and a member of the Redemption Society.

They are actually secretly investigating members of the Redemption Society?

And... someone's missing? I just confirmed today that everyone is there and no one has leaked the information, but just when I came out to look for Adele, someone disappeared?

Ashford took a deep breath, stopped, closed the door, and walked back to where he had been sitting. He looked at Ciel and said, "Are you investigating the people of the Redemption Society?"

Ashford is a professor at the Redemption Society, and there is no way he will leave without resolving this matter.

"Please be patient, Professor Ashford. Before that, I need you to answer a few questions for me."

Charles hooked his finger at Tara, then looked at Professor Ashford and said, "Are you going to protect Adele?"

Are you doubting me?

Is that extraordinary maid a "Listener" or an "Ascetic"?

Ashford took a deep breath after glancing at Lucy, whose hands were already in the outer pockets of her uniform.

It seems that if I don't answer the question, it will be difficult for me to walk out safely...

Fortunately, the other party is from the Deton Group, and they are only interested in money and not life.

He looked at Charles again and said, "Yes."

Ciel: "Those three 'doctors', did you impose any restrictions or warnings on them?"

Professor Ashford was aware of the danger of the plant and wanted to take Adele to Anzu City to hide, so he must have known that he had to keep the three "doctors" calm.

"Two of them are my students, and one is a 'doctor' from the Burren City branch. I have asked them to keep quiet about this matter."

Ashford replied.

Ciel looked in Tara's direction, and Tara looked at Ciel and just shook her head to make sure that he was not lying.

"Who is missing?"

Charles spoke up, asking Tara.

"Fred Hopkins... others are still searching. If he's still in Burren City, we can find him today, Lord Charles."

Tara bowed slightly and replied respectfully.

“Is it him…?”

Ashford's expression changed slightly.

This expression was caught by Ciel. She looked at Ashford and asked, "Professor, can you explain? Who is this person called Fred?"

"He... is considered a student of my student, graduate student Fred. After I came to Burren City, I promoted him to an assistant professor."

Ashford spoke up.

Are you an Ashford student?

Ashford’s student... is Sheron, the Level 2 “Plague Doctor” who almost triggered the “Dehydration Syndrome”, and Sheron’s student is a “Physician” in the same batch as Adele, and can be considered Adele’s classmate.

And now, Xie Lun's student has disappeared at this critical moment...

Ciel's mind raced.

Xie Lun contacted Kitty, who secretly asked him to use the seal to detonate "dehydration" in front of the Clock Tower Church, attempting to kill most of the believers of the Savior Goddess in the city of Burren and destroy the authority of the Savior Goddess here.

This was also clearly recorded in Kitty's spiritual notes. Charles followed the clues and found the Durton Manor, which triggered a series of subsequent events.

But there is indeed such a doubt in the middle.

How did Kitty get in touch with Xie Lun, and how did she know so clearly that he was stagnant in his studies and was so eager for quick success that he even went so far as to change his path in potions...

Kitty didn't even brainwash Xie Lun into becoming a believer. Is she really so confident that Xie Lun will help her? What is her basis for this?

But if we assume that one of Xie Lun's students is a member of the Pleasure Club...

There are people who follow the path of "poison makers". If there are people who follow the path of "poison makers", there must be people who follow the path of "doctors". They will choose the path that is easy to complete for conversion.

Even the creator of the Bei'ansu famine could be a level 4 "poison maker" from the Joy Society.

According to this hypothesis, all previous doubts are solved...

"last question,"

Ciel looked at Ashford and said slowly, "Are you from the Pleasure Club?"

The moment Lucy heard this, she tightened her grip on the revolver hidden in her pocket, and Tara took half a step forward, vaguely blocking Charles in front of her.

"I'm not a member of the pleasure club..."

Ashford's brows twitched, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.

"It's not a lie, Master Ciel."

Tara confirmed.

"You're not. That's the Hopkins assistant coach."

Ciel looked at Ashford and said slowly:

"He's a member of the Society of Joy. He instigated your student, Sheron, to help the Adventists kill the followers of the Savior Goddess Cult, spreading the plague and turning it into the 'Source of Cholera.'"

"This indirectly led to the sacrifice case at Deton Manor... Professor Ashford, the source of all this chaos stems from the Redemption Society's inadequate internal review."

"Commissioner Lucy, I think you can begin writing your closing statement for this investigation."

Lucy glanced at Ciel in surprise, secretly admiring him in her heart.

As expected of a mysterious organization...

They actually knew more information than I had found out in all this time. I had only just traced back to Xie Lun, but this matter involved a secret transaction between the eldest daughter of the Russell family and the Clock Tower Church, which made it difficult to continue the investigation.

This time, with Charles' words, the blame for this matter was completely shifted to the Redemption Society and the Pleasure Society... If the matter was investigated further, they could even extort a large sum of compensation from the Redemption Society.

Lucy once again confirmed that she had definitely not joined the wrong organization.

As long as she works hard, there will definitely be plenty of opportunities and wealth waiting for her in the future!

At this moment, Ashford was pinching the brim of his hat with his hand, his thoughts in a mess.

Ashford felt remorse and guilt for having his own students spread the plague, and the source of all this was actually from a pleasure party, from a small graduate student...

And I, without knowing it, promoted him to teaching assistant, just to fill the vacancy left by the lecturer Xie Lun after his death...

"The person hasn't been found. All of this is just your imagination and speculation, Miss Charles."

Ashford lowered his hand from the brim of his hat and spoke slowly, his voice a little hoarse, "But I am willing to cooperate with the Deton Group's investigation, to capture Fred... Hopkins, and to interrogate him thoroughly."

"I'll take my leave now."

The three of them watched Professor Ashford walk away.

Chapter 183: Arriving at the highest city in the world - Ansu.

【来日:107Day （圣741年10月25日12:00）（消耗200命定点）】

Seven days left?

Charles looked at the silver-white panel in front of him, and the uneasiness in his heart dissipated a little.

At least, the system's simulation time has not changed, and I can still simulate until October 10th. This at least proves that I can live well before October 25th.

But this only proves that I can live to that time, and I cannot infer other things based on this.

After Ashford left, Lucy looked in the direction of Ciel and said, "Ms. Ciel, I heard that you are going to Anzu City?"

This was the purpose of Lucy's trip, but she was slightly disturbed by Ashford's visit.

"Yes."

Charles nodded slightly.

Ashford just met Ciel by coincidence, but Lucy must have investigated his itinerary, but no one knew how she did it.

It's likely that Avina's move to charter a train was a bit too conspicuous.

However, he had promised Lucy that he would take her with him when he went to Anzu City, so Charles didn't pay too much attention to her investigation behavior.

"It just so happens that I'm also planning to go to Ansu City tomorrow. Could you please tell Miss Avina that I can get a ride as well?"

Lucy was very shameless and insisted on getting in the car. "I'll pay for the fare."

"Come here early tomorrow."

Ciel nodded.

"Thank you for your generosity, Miss Ciel."

Lucy smiled and stood up. Suddenly, she thought of something and looked in Ciel's direction and said, "By the way, Miss Ciel, would you like to come to the unveiling ceremony for the new 'Death Game' project?"

Lucy knew that Charles would most likely not go. If Charles didn't go, Lucy could take most of the credit and rewards, but she still had to pretend to ask.

Miss Charles may not go, but she cannot fail to invite him; it is a matter of etiquette.

"I'll forget it."

Charles shook his head, not interested in these things.

"Okay, if there's a reward, I'll send it to you."

Lucy bowed slightly to Ciel, then walked out of the living room with a smile on her face.

Promotion and salary increase! Secure!

As for the bonus, even if it was all given to Ciel, Lucy still cared most about her position and authority.

If the results are really good, she might be promoted several levels in succession, directly from senior specialist to executive director...which would mean she would truly step into the senior management of the Deton Group.

The reason she turned down the regional manager position and stayed at headquarters as an executive specialist was precisely for this direct promotion opportunity...

If you are sent out to be a regional manager, you can indeed make a lot of money, but it will be difficult to return to the center.

This was also a gamble, and it all depended on one's luck. Now it seems that Lucy made the right bet.

As expected, I am the girl of destiny. I have never lost a bet since I entered the extraordinary world.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with being a senior commissioner on overseas missions, but being on the board of directors would give her a wider range of opportunities.

Lucy thought as she got into the carriage with a smile on her face. It was not until the door was closed that she could no longer suppress her smile. She leaned back and laughed heartily.
