Miss Witch's Speed ​​Run Manual

As the leading black man pulled the reins suddenly, the strong brown horse was stopped by the black man. He jumped off the horse and walked quickly to the escort carriage in the middle of the convoy.

"High Priest, we're here."

The neighing of horses came one after another. Even after the riders pulled the reins to stop them, some horses continued to raise their front legs and screamed in resistance to the control of the riders behind them.

Soon, several strong horses threw the people behind them off and turned around to gallop down the mountain.

It was as if the manor under the rain in front of them was hiding something, making them feel the instinctive fear of living things.

squeak-

The door of the carriage was opened, but the first person to get out was not the high priest mentioned by the black people, but a figure with long black hair.

"Here?"

Avina jumped off the carriage, not caring that the mud and water on the ground splashed her expensive boots. She took two steps forward, and all the information within her sight came into her eyes.

There were a lot of messy footsteps... all heading out of the manor. Perhaps not long ago, many people discovered something unusual and escaped from inside.

The two corpses in front caught Avina's attention. She walked between the two corpses, half-knelt down, and turned over the corpse that fell face down.

She took a few steps forward, and Nia, wearing silver armor, followed behind Avina, her right hand already on the shield and sword on her back, ready to draw her sword at any time.

"Did you...find anything, Miss Avina?"

A somewhat breathless voice came from behind Avina. Avina turned around and saw the high priestess Julis who had walked behind her, and a head with long silver hair sticking out from beside her shoulder.

"They were all killed with a single blow of a dagger or a short knife. There was no sign of any resistance."

Avina glanced at Adele, who was hiding behind Yulis, and asked helplessly, "Didn't I just ask you to give me some medicine? Why are you following me?"

Adele and Charles didn't have a close relationship. They had only met once and Adele had only acted as a guarantor for Charles. Adele had every reason not to participate in this operation. Avina couldn't understand why she followed her.

She was obviously scared to death.

Avina said these words expressionlessly, which seemed to hurt Adele's self-esteem. She glared at Avina cautiously.

"You think I'm stupid!"

Perhaps hiding behind Julis gave Adele some courage. She no longer spoke in short, weak voices. Instead, she retorted with full confidence, "There aren't many extraordinary people in the city anymore. Wouldn't it be safer for me to follow?"

Avina took a deep breath after being confronted like this, but she couldn't think of how to refute it.

Adele was right. Here were the third-level "Crown Guardian" Nia, the second-level "Missionary" Yulis, and seven or eight first-level transcendents.

If the people here can't deal with Charles, and let the out-of-control Charles wander into the city of Burren, the situation will only get worse.

"We only have one day."

Julis spoke, interrupting the two who were about to bicker, and said, "I have already sent an urgent request for help to the church through a ritual. I have shared the message from Ciel and the Advent Society."

"If we can't control Ciel today, and wait for the church's rescue, I can't guarantee that the bishop or archbishop who comes will be able to spare her life."

Hearing this, Avina's heart tightened slightly.

Just one day...

It had been over two hours since Julis said Ciel drank the potion, so it was very likely that Ciel was no longer in the manor.

There was no trace of her in the city. If she had run somewhere else, finding her would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

If we don't find her, we might only be able to learn about her after the Ciel potion gets out of control and creates some kind of sensation that is resolved by other churches or organizations.

"I'll split up with you guys and quickly search the Durton Manor."

Avina said to Julis and the others.

She has Nia's protection, so even if they act separately, nothing will happen to her.

"Don't!"

Adele quickly spoke up, stopping Avina's anxious plan, "Don't split up! In knight novels, those who split up usually die in the end!"

"Adele's concerns are not unfounded."

Julis nodded and said in Avina's direction, "You... haven't seen what she looked like at that time. For your own safety and the safety of others, it's better not to act separately."

"……I see."

Avina took a deep breath and calmed herself down a little.

She didn't know why she was so anxious, she just hoped to find Charles as soon as possible.

Now, Avina could only pray that Charles was not completely assimilated by the potion.

Tap tap tap——

A flurry of footsteps came from the manor, attracting everyone's attention.

Nia suddenly drew out the sword and shield from behind her, holding the sword in her left hand and the shield in her right hand, took a step forward, and quickly stood in front of Avina.

It was a woman wearing a red chip mask, and she was only wearing an ill-fitting shirt and nothing on her lower body.

She saw Nia in knight's attire outside the door, and quickened her pace as if she had seen a savior. However, she tripped over a stone and fell forward, rolling twice. Her body was covered in mud and she looked in a mess.

“Help! Help!!!”

The woman screamed and crawled towards Nia.

"It's an ordinary person."

Yulis spoke slowly. After carefully feeling it, she said, "They are not from the Holy Advent Sect."

Julis walked forward, and four white shadows emerged from her shadow, surrounding Julis from all sides.

She walked over to the crying woman, squatted down, and said softly, "It's okay...Excuse me, what happened in there?"

Julis was wearing a white mask at this time, and her ethereal voice seemed to have a mysterious power that gradually calmed the originally panicked woman.

"Death...many people died in there..."

The woman looked up at Julis and choked out a sob, "I was getting ready for the night shift and had just entered the locker room. When I came out, I realized my new uniform was gone."

"At first I thought it was a prank and I was waiting for someone to come into the dressing room and get me another set of clothes... but I waited for a long time and no one came."

"Later, I heard a lot of screams coming from outside, so I hid in the locker room. When the noise stopped, I came out... and saw a lot of dead bodies!"

"Then...then I kept running outside, and I felt something chasing me from behind, but when I turned around, I couldn't see anything...Then, I saw you..."

She felt like something invisible was chasing her...

Avina and Adele in the back looked at each other and saw the answer in each other's eyes.

It is very likely the shadow of the "Judge". Ordinary people with higher sensitivity can indeed vaguely feel such a feeling or see a hint of an apparition when they are extremely frightened.

However, if an ordinary person saw this, they would probably go crazy... Maybe the woman in front of him was too panicked and didn't really see the existence of the black shadow.

This actually saved her life.

After comforting the woman and having the "ascetic monk" behind her hand her a long robe, Julis walked directly into the manor.

Avina and Nia followed closely behind. Adele originally wanted to continue to shrink behind her sister, but her sister stood too far in front, so she had to follow behind Avina, but kept a subtle distance from her.

It's normal for the "doctor" to stand behind... No, the "doctor" should stand behind! Adele thought so, overcame her inner fear, and shrank behind Avina openly.

"This way, we went up from here."

Julis recalled the route she and Charles had taken before, counting her steps silently in her mind, and walked directly to the reception room on the right side of Deton Manor.

Another corpse...same way of death, killed with one blow, without any delay.

Is this really something Charles can do?

Avina found it difficult to connect the corpse in front of her with the image of Charles, the calm, intelligent, good girl who could cook and cared about her sister.

This is no longer a contrast, it's like he's a completely different person.

As we walked down the unclosed secret passage, the smell of blood became stronger.

They saw several different corpses in the church below. Their heads or hearts were smashed by some blunt objects. The ways of death were very different and they did not suffer much pain.

"These are the cultists I took out."

Julis was silent for a moment, then pointed to another secret passage. "Going up that way is where Charles was before."

"vomit--"

Behind him, a first-level transcendent who probably had never seen dead people vomited after seeing the corpses on the ground.

The constant sight of blood and corpses along the way cast a shadow on everyone's hearts, and tension spread among the crowd.

There are many "ascetic monks" who may not even have fought with an ordinary person since they completed the reappearance ritual, let alone facing such a terrifying second-level.

Following the secret passage that Julis had mentioned, everyone walked upward cautiously. Soon, a row of broken bookshelves appeared before their eyes.

Looking forward through the crack in the bookshelf, there was a luxurious office. At this moment, there was a pool of deep red blood on the red carpet of the office, which was very conspicuous, and there was also some brain matter on it.

"This is……"

Avina frowned slightly as she looked at the bloodstain that was dragged to the door.

"It's the body of that cult 'missionary',"

Julis asked, "I don't sense Ciel's presence."

"Sister...the body has been dragged away."

Adele stuck half of her head out and whispered a reminder.

"Dragged away?"

Julis' heart sank slightly.

The extraordinary people who have been assimilated by the potion have an extraordinary enthusiasm for spiritual materials and other extraordinary people.

They will continue to devour spiritual materials or extraordinary corpses, especially corpses of similar origins, to speed up the assimilation of their own potions until their sanity is completely annihilated.

"Nia."

"Yes, Miss."

At this point, there was no need for Julis to lead the way anymore.

Nia ran outside along the blood trail, followed closely by Avina and Yulis.

Adele hesitated for a second, closed her eyes, and ran over.

"I can't be left alone... I can't be left alone..."

Adele kept reminding herself in her heart.

The more the situation is like this, the more you cannot be alone. In knight novels, those who are smart enough to run away alone will be described by the author in several pages to describe how miserable their death is.

As soon as they ran out of the office converted from a small study, they saw that there was another bloodstain.

Following the bloodstains, two, four... the bloodstains formed a blood carpet, and it was no longer possible to tell how many traces there were.

"It's all the blood of extraordinary people..."

Adele spoke up.

As someone who deals with blood all day, she was not surprised by this material.

How many people were killed?

Following the blood trail downstairs, everyone stopped outside the steel gate of the underground exchange area.

The gate that was originally open has been closed, and the bodies are piled up outside the gate like cargo.

The stench of blood rushed into their nostrils. Avina pursed her lips tightly. After a while, she said, "Nia, open the door."

Regardless of whether or not Ciel was assimilated, she had killed so many people, so she would definitely be taken in by the Savior Cult for investigation...

"Ciel... is inside..."

Julis seemed to sense something and spoke, but her tone seemed to tremble.

Nia slowly took a step forward, raised the silver-white shield in her right hand, and slammed it hard at the steel gate in front of her.

Boom——!

A huge dent was directly smashed into the thick gate, and the gate mechanism embedded in the wall was completely deformed by this blow, causing exaggerated cracks to appear in the calcined concrete and bricks around and on the top. The chandelier above the head shook, bringing down some rubble, like an earthquake.

Nia retracted her shield, gathered her strength, raised the silver shield and swung a punch forward.

boom--!

The gate was knocked down in an instant, stirring up a cloud of dust.
