Miss Witch's Speed ​​Run Manual

"Roar--!"

On a rainy night, countless terrifying monsters with blood-colored mycelium wrapped around their bodies and four legs on the ground were chasing after a young girl.

Terrifying howls erupted from their mouths. It was hard to imagine that just a few minutes ago, these were "people" who could still think and move around normally.

At this time, the monsters in the narrow alley were rushing towards the girl like a tide. The exhausted girl tripped on a protruding stone brick and fell to the ground. She no longer had the strength to get up.

She turned her head in despair and looked at those horrible bloody figures, an expression of despair on her face.

Who is that red-haired girl...?

She must have caused all this...

Why did she seem to know me? Why... did she do such a horrible thing...

What kind of power did she have that she could bypass the supervision of so many major organizations and spread such pathogens in Ansu City... and even got the endorsement of several of the largest organizations.

The girl who fell on the wet stone floor was Princess Vitalis.

At this time, she was completely desperate, closed her eyes, and waited for death to come.

thump—

Suddenly, a loud noise sounded in front of her, and a tall figure landed directly in front of her, drew his sword, and slashed at the terrifying monster in front of him.

laugh--

sizzle-

The several strange shadows running in the front were cut in half by a single sword, but the horrific humanoid monsters behind them were still rushing towards the two of them.

The black giant sword emitted a blazing red light. The figure slowly put the giant sword back to his waist. The hot sword edge emitted a faint orange glow, as if molten iron was dripping down the sword edge.

The black-armored figure was emitting white steam all over his body. The rain was completely evaporated before it fell on his armor, and even the stagnant water on the ground seemed to be boiling.

hum-

The man in black armor quickly drew his sword and made a powerful upward thrust. The huge sword in his hand was poured out like molten iron, turning into countless sharp red-hot iron spikes, flying forward and almost covering the entire alley.

puff-

The sharp spikes like pear blossoms in the rain tore through the stone bricks on the ground at a terrifying speed. A large number of spikes easily penetrated the terrifying monsters. The high temperature melted the mycelium and bones on their bodies, and the powerful kinetic energy swept almost all of them out of the alley.

For such a brief moment, the only thing left in the alley was steaming mist and blood mist, as well as a few broken limbs and corpses. Not even a drop of rain could fall there.

"Princess, are you okay?"

Opold put away his sword, turned around, looked at the princess lying on the ground behind him, half-knelt down, and stretched out his right hand.

"Please follow me, it's dangerous here."

Vita looked at the black-armored knight in front of him, his pupils shrank slightly, and he subconsciously supported his body with his hands and moved back a few steps, completely ignoring the dirt on the ground.

"Princess, what's wrong with you?"

Opold was out of breath and his voice was a little hoarse, as if he had fought several rounds of battle before meeting the princess.

"Please leave, Mr. Opold..."

Vita's tone was almost pleading, and she used all her strength just to get one step further away from the knight in front of her.

This was not the scene of a knight saving the princess that Princess Vitalis had expected - at the very least, scarlet, dancing mycelium should not be emerging from the cracks in the armor on the knight's face.

"It's me, Princess... cough cough cough... Opold... don't you recognize me?"

Opold's voice was hoarse, and he raised his hand and took off his armored helmet.

The blood-colored mycelium had almost completely adhered the armor and his face together. When he took off the iron helmet, the connecting mycelium and flesh were torn apart, pulling out long scarlet threads.

A large amount of blood and skin tissue dripped from his horrific, unrecognizable face to the ground, staining the puddles on the ground red.

"Cough cough..."

Opold's cough became more and more violent. He knelt on the ground, reached into his armor and fumbled out a red cigarette, then tremblingly brought it to his mouth. The armor on his left fingertips turned into molten iron and lit the tip of the cigarette.

"Hiss...ha..."

After taking a greedy breath, he seemed to have stopped coughing. When he looked up again, Vitalis was already holding on to the wall, walking away from him step by step.

Opold raised his hand and was about to say something, but at this moment, the dry mycelium in the cigarette in his mouth began to wriggle when it was soaked in the contaminated blood.

Those blood-colored hyphae continued to drill into his oral cavity along his mouth, eroding his flesh and blood along the way, breaking through the gaps in his skull, and piercing into his brain.

Opold stood there in a daze, blood streaming from the cracks in his armor as he waved his sword in the dark alleyway...

Finally, his reason was finally overcome, and the blood-colored hyphae attached to his armor like exogenous muscles, completely connecting the armor to his flesh and blood - a hunger for flesh and blood occupied his mind.

Parasitism and devouring became the only two things on his mind.

Princess Vita staggered forward and turned to look towards the alley entrance.

Following the light coming in from the alley, she saw Opold slowly stand up. The terrifying humanoid monsters that surged in from behind him seemed to have found a perfect parasite. They all clung to the armor and continued to pile up.

The blood and flesh continued to blend together, making Opold look like he was carrying a huge tumor...

What exactly is this!

The fear that penetrated deep into her bones almost made Vita faint, but at this moment, a voice that usually disgusted her but now seemed like a savior sounded in her ears.

"A novel infection..."

Qiang Yin, holding a black umbrella, jumped down from the roof and landed lightly next to Vitalis.

He looked at Opold in front of him, his face showing a solemn expression that he had never had before.

The red cigarettes were spreading and the strong sound was clear... He was still investigating the source of this strange thing.

But since this thing has little to do with the church fusion and the key man, Qiang Yin did not spend much thought on it. He was more concerned about who was putting pressure on the Church of the Goddess of Savior, the Church of the God of Order and the Faros Medical Association.

Even if Qiang Yin wanted these three organizations to help him do something, he would have to pay a high price.

But that mysterious person or organization, right under Qiang Yin's nose, had established connections with these organizations, and this connection seemed even stronger than what he had been managing for so many years...

Both Lafayette and the Pope of the Church of the God of Order refused to reveal the other party's identity to Qiang Yin.

thump—

A level 3 "Crown Guard" jumped down from the rooftop and chopped down "Opold" on the ground with the giant hammer in his hand, smashing the mycelial tumor on his back into a huge ball of blood.

Afterwards, the "Crown Guard" quickly retreated, as if consciously avoiding the contaminated blood from splashing on himself.

More people from the Queen's Sword and Royal Melody rushed in from outside and began to kill the monsters outside the alley.

Qiang Yin's troops, the troops that have not yet been infected by the red cigarettes, are gathering rapidly.

Looking at the bloody and terrifying battle in front of him, Qiang Yin narrowed his eyes slightly. He looked at Vitalis at his feet and slowly said, "What did you see after you walked out of the Royal Theater?"

"When the vision occurred, I used echo to investigate... But the thing you saw before your eyes, the Level 4, was caused by interference from the Goddess Cult... When I recalled it for the second time, the person had already disappeared."

"You were there at that time...what did you see?"

Vitalis was almost exhausted at this time. Facing Qiang Yin's questioning, she couldn't say a word for a long time.

But Qiang Yin's words did remind Princess Vitalis of the previous scene.

That mysterious red-haired girl... and her frightening eyes...

She seemed to know him... but Vitalis had no impression of her at all.

She seemed to have power and connections that were no less than Qiang Yin's, and she had no intention of killing him... She was Qiang Yin's enemy.

The enemy of my enemy may not necessarily be a friend, but he will definitely cause great trouble to Qiang Yin.

But the girl caused such a terrible impact and destruction to Anzu City, which was obviously not what Vita wanted.

Princess Vitalis was in confusion. She didn't know which side to choose between the girl and Qiang Yin... She knew too little information.

But Vita's choice no longer mattered. Qiangyin saw that Vita seemed to know something about the inside story. He just waved his hand and asked the people from the Royal Music to take Vitalis away, then turned his attention to the direction of the Church of the God of Order.

No matter who the other party is, they actually dared to spread such a terrible germ in Ansu. This is a slap in the face of Qiangyin... No matter who the other party is, Qiangyin will find out who he is.

A warhorse clad in iron armor stopped at the entrance of the alley and neighed. Qiang Yin stepped directly over the bloodstains, mounted the horse, and rushed towards the Church of the God of Order in the midst of chaos.

A few minutes later, at the highest level of the Church of the God of Order.

Qiang Yin looked at the armored Pope of the Cult of Order before him and spoke slowly, "Erigma Osira...something has happened outside. Why are your troops hiding in the Vatican?...Defending Anzu City is also your duty."

The Pope seemed to have realized that Qiang Yin would come to find her, and her voice came from within the armor.

"Your Excellency Qiangyin... I am currently defending Anzu City and retaining sufficient strength."

Pope Erigma nodded slightly.

Keep enough strength...

"Red Cigarettes, who instructed you to carry out this propaganda?"

Qiang Yin's voice grew colder. He stared at the Pope with sharp eyes and spoke slowly, "Don't tell me this was just a sudden idea of ​​yours."

"A new partner, Lord Qiangyin."

The Pope didn't seem to care about the oppression from Qiang Yin, as if she knew very well that Qiang Yin didn't dare to do anything to her - or whatever he did would be useless.

"Are you the one who instigated you and the Savior Goddess to promote red cigarettes?"

Qiang Yin asked coldly.

"Instigation?"

The Pope shook his head slightly. "This is part of the cooperation, Your Excellency. Please do not stigmatize this sacred cooperation."

"Ah……"

Looking at the performance of the Pope in front of him, Qiang Yin had a vague idea of ​​a candidate in his mind.

There aren't so many coincidences in the world...

If this incident is not dealt with quickly, it will definitely have a devastating impact on Ansu City, which will greatly damage his own prestige and power.

Although he was reluctant to believe it, it was very likely that the culprit was the "Key Man" engraved on his wound.

"Is it 'Keyman'?"

Qiang Yin directly brought up the topic and asked, "Did he instruct you to do this?"

"'Keyman'?"

Hearing the name, the Pope's voice sounded a little puzzled.

"Stop pretending... Pleasure Club, 'Keyman', do you need me to explain things more clearly?"

Qiang Yin's voice was already filled with a hint of anger. "Do you think I don't know anything?"

Even Lafayette didn't know that he could look back and leave clues for himself... This was a top-level secret that belonged only to Qiang Yin.

The other party certainly didn't know that he had gone back twice and confirmed that a person code-named "Key Man" would cause serious harm and impact to Ansu and his own future.

"A pleasure party?"

The Pope's cold metallic humming sound came from within the armor. After a few seconds of silence, a sinister laugh came from within the armor.

The Pope slowly stood up from his bench, looked down at Qiang Yin in front of him, and said with a sneer:

"Your information level seems a bit too low... You should optimize your intelligence system..."

"Please do not associate that distinguished lord and our great research with these lowly and despicable organizations."

"Please go back, Master Qiangyin..."

This is an attitude the Pope has never shown towards the strong voice.

Sarcasm, ridicule, contempt... Qiang Yin could feel the Pope's attitude from her words and voice.

This was completely different from the Pope's previous respectful attitude towards him, which made Qiang Yin a little confused.

"Don't forget who helped you contact the Pharos Medical Society, who gave you authority along the way to help you continue your research, and who helped you erode the position of the Savior Goddess Church..."

Qiang Yin could no longer suppress his inner anger. Although he was always calm, he was also provoked by the other party's nonchalant attitude.

No, not provoked by this attitude.

But it was Qiang Yin's inner panic.

Without him noticing, his standing in front of these large organizations seemed to have plummeted, and all of this was due to that "honorable sir."

The connections he had cultivated over the years seemed no match for the other party's lobbying over a dozen or twenty days... What kind of terrifying power was behind this? How did the other party do it?

All this made Qiang Yin panic.
