Miss Witch's Speed ​​Run Manual

In the office on the third floor with the best lighting, a woman wearing a white shirt and a black vest, but extremely thin, with deep dark circles under her eyes, was tossing a gold pound in her hand, constantly bouncing it with her thumb and then catching it with her palm.

Tuk-tuk-tuk——

There was a knock on the door from outside. The woman did not catch the gold pound after bouncing it for the last time, and let it fall on the desk in front of her.

After shaking several times, the portrait of the queen was firmly placed on the table, while the image of a knight slaying a dragon on the back was facing the ceiling.

The visitor is not good.

The woman did not show any disheartened expression. Instead, she grinned, looked towards the door, and said:

"come in……"

The office door was opened, and a man wearing a silver chip mask walked in slowly. After turning around and closing the wooden door, he stood in front of the woman and bent down slightly.

"Commissioner Lucy, the boss wants you to go to Burren City."

The man in the silver chip mask said respectfully.

"Why, has the city of Burren also started to lose money?"

Lucy looked up at the man and asked.

“And who took how much?”

The man with the silver chip mask slowly explained, "Commissioner Lucy, it's not a loss."

"The Savior Cult sent word that members of the Holy Advent Cult were performing a sacrificial ritual at Deton Manor in Burren City... It seems they summoned a divine servant, and the entire Deton Manor collapsed. We don't know the exact casualties and losses at this time. The manager asked you to handle this. It's best to investigate everything before the Savior Cult does, as this concerns the company's reputation."

"I see. You go out first and wait for my news."

Lucy waved her hand, watched the man go out and close the door, then looked at the gold coins in front of her.

Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

She opened the drawer, revealing a rustic wooden box. She opened the box, revealing a deck of exquisite black tarot cards.

The golden cracks on the back of the black card seem to shine brightly.

She took out the cards, lit the incense and candles beside her, and then began to cut and shuffle the cards skillfully.

"Will this field mission yield any results?"

Lucy said to herself calmly.

She placed the cards neatly on the table, and every time she placed a card, she would silently recite a question in her mind.

She laid out a Celtic cross card layout.

1. Wheel of Fortune.

2. Death.

3. Demon...

The current situation, obstacles and challenges, subconscious influences... As the cards were revealed one by one, her inner doubts were cleared up bit by bit.

This is... a turning point in my destiny, and it carries enormous risks...

But at the same time……

Card number 10 was revealed by Lucy.

A reversed Sun card lies quietly in the final result position of number 10.

But at the same time, there is a tiny possibility of a huge reward...

The tarot cards provide a clear warning: this investigation will be a life-or-death choice. Success may bring rich rewards, but failure may mean a huge price, including the end of life.

What kind of reward can make the "chosen one" feel fulfilled?

She wiggled her nimble fingers, and a gold pound flew across her fingertips.

Snapped--

She held the gold pound tightly in her hand. When she unfolded it again, the gold on the outside had completely faded, revealing the rusty brown inside. On the front was a faceless angel stained with rust, and on the back was a demon with an eyeball that seemed to be dripping with blood.

Is the generous reward to completely control or break free from this seal?

Or... go one step further?

Either way, it's very tempting to Lucy.

As a "destined one" who has gambled all the way to this position, she will not hesitate to give up everything and go all in as long as she can bet everything that people envy now and take a gamble with a huge risk of death but huge rewards.

Without this gambling nature, she wouldn't be in this position.

This is how she gambled her way up, and she was always sure that she would not lose.

Because she is the one favored by destiny.

Lucy stood up, picked up her silver cane and walked out the door.

Behind her, a black raven landed on the windowsill, flapping its wings and preening its feathers.

……

Click, click, click...

The iron hooves of the war horses galloped on the stone road, and the horseshoes made crisp sounds when hitting the stone slabs.

Only after entering the city did the sound of horse hooves gradually slow down.

At this time, Avina withdrew her gaze from the distant Creek Mountain. The three people in the car looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

After a moment of silence, Avina looked in the direction of Charles and asked, "What was that just now..."

"It has ended."

Charles shook his head and said, "There won't be any more people from the Holy Advent Sect there."

Adele: "Huh?"

Not only Avina, but even Adele couldn't help showing a puzzled expression.

What happened? What did Ciel do just now? Why did it end?

"Are they...all dead?"

Avina couldn't help but confirm.

Adele: “Huh??”

No, weren't we just playing cards? Why did all the people from the Holy Advent Sect die?

Adele looked confused and kept looking back and forth at the two girls in front of her who were telling riddles.

"Ah."

Ciel nodded.

After looking at each other for a while, they slowly lowered their shoulders and smiled at each other, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off their shoulders.

Only Adele was still confused.

"Hmm? Is it over? Hmm? Won't someone come to catch us later?"

Adele's question received no answer, but looking at their smiles, Adele seemed to understand something.

It was okay that Charles smiled, but even Avina, who usually had a stern face, smiled. That should prove that it was indeed safe, right?

After leaning back in her seat, Avina raised her hand and rubbed her temple.

No wonder Charles suddenly told him not to report to the Savior Goddess Church and the Deton Group.

The organization behind Charles actually has the ability to overturn the table behind his back without making any noise.

Once the table is turned over, there is no need to risk being exposed and report it.

The Deton Manor would be anxious because its site was destroyed, and the Church of the Savior Goddess would also be anxious when they discovered the appearance of the Holy Advent Sect.

The most anxious ones are the people of the Holy Advent Sect. One of their strongholds was destroyed for no reason, and a bishop may have died. If the identity is found out, the large stronghold behind the bishop may also be destroyed.

Now, it was a matter of which side could get to the scene the fastest to investigate or destroy evidence. Even the Redemption Society might get involved. If all four parties got involved, it would definitely be a mess and no one would have time to take care of Xie Lun, the pawn.

By the time someone realized what was happening, the clues had been interrupted and it was impossible to continue the investigation.

Now, Avina is ready to re-evaluate the organization behind Charles.

At first, she thought that the organization behind Charles was just a deeply hidden intelligence organization that made a living by secretly selling intelligence, but now it seems that this organization not only has the ability to obtain intelligence, but also has a certain ability to overturn the table.

Just like the terrifying earth-shaking noise just now, all the cultists were killed in an instant. Avina was very sure that even the "Crown Guard" could not produce this.

Moreover, in addition to the earthquake-like movement, Avina also felt a strong sense of crisis and a spiritual alarm from deep in her brain.

This seems to be something beyond earthquakes. Is this some kind of extraordinary ability?

Avina pondered in her mind, but couldn't come up with an answer for a long time.

The warhorse's speed was getting slower and slower, and even Adele noticed something was amiss. She looked at Avina and asked, "Is the carriage... moving too slowly?"

Avina leaned forward, pulled open the small curtain in front, and looked through the glass towards the car in front of the carriage.

Tuk Tuk——

Avina reached out and knocked on the glass window, but Nia in front of her did not respond.

They had just arrived at the Bell Tower Lane area and were entering the city along the North-South Stone Street. The carriage was now parked in the center of the street.

Fortunately, at this time, most workers are at work and there are not many pedestrians on the street, so no one noticed that something was wrong here.

"Nia?"

Avina jumped off the carriage and walked to the front. The armor on the seat was no longer moving, as if it was a real gorgeous armor for decoration.

Charles also noticed something was wrong. She and Adele jumped out of the carriage and helped Nia up.

Avina patted the horse's butt lightly, and the horse ran along the stone street towards home, while the remaining three people dragged Nia to No. 44, North-South Stone Street, the house that Charles's lease had not yet expired.

After a simple healing treatment, Avina breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay... It's just a problem with the spirit... This is Nia's old problem."

As she spoke, Avina looked in Charles' direction and said, "It's the same situation as before."

Same situation as before?

Charles thought about it and she probably figured out why Nia suddenly lost consciousness.

It's a spiritual creature...

"Charles, I want to ask you a question, and I hope you can answer it."

Avina took a deep breath, looked at Charles, and asked, "The people in your organization... were dealing with the Holy Advent Sect."

"Did you use some extraordinary item from the other world?"

The Other World...

This was the second time Charles heard this word from someone else. The first time was from the "Glory Bishop" Hugh.

In fact, until now, Charles only has a vague understanding of the so-called "other world". He only knows that he will go crazy after entering it, all extraordinary objects will be distorted, and some terrifying creatures can be summoned from it.

"What is 'the other world'?"

Charles did not directly answer Avina's question, but asked.

"You do not know?"

Avina was a little surprised by Charles's reaction.

After a brief moment of thought, she shook her head and said, "I'm not quite sure what the other world is. There's very little information about it... Apart from the church, few people delve into knowledge related to it."

"All I know is that the Otherworld is a world that overlaps with reality. Different churches have different names for it... things like 'the spirit world' and 'the soul world'."

"It's an extremely dangerous place, filled with all sorts of terrifying creatures... Some churches can communicate with the Otherworld through special methods, but once a transcendental being directly confronted with creatures or objects from that world, the higher their clairvoyance, the greater the mental pollution they'll suffer."

After hesitating for a moment, Avina thought that they were all trustworthy people, so she said, "Nia once entered the other world, and then the potion went out of control and turned her into what she is now."

"She...is already one hundred and twenty years old this year."

Charles understood why the spiritual creatures he sacrificed in the simulation failed to directly affect Prague and Avina in the simulation. Instead, Nia in the simulation completely lost any ability to resist after taking a look.

"Will this situation be serious now?"

Ciel asked.

"It's not serious. She didn't come into direct contact with anything from the other world, so she's fine..."

Avina shook her head and said, "I think I need to speed up the progress of the 'Psychologist's' reappearance ceremony."
