The Speedrun Manual of Miss Witch -
Chapter 195 - Looking Forward to the Grim Worm’s Splendid Performance (3/4)
His aged face still showed a hint of fear. He didn’t know what terrifying thing he had seen.
Any slight fear, anger, would be constantly amplified.
Has the Grim Worm’s influence spread here already...? It’s a little fast.
She didn’t know how long she could stay here. Perhaps soon, even this place would become dangerous.
If possible, Ciel still wanted to try her best to survive this 24-hour simulation.
The rewards for this time would definitely be generous—Ciel had this premonition.
At least the quality of the transcendents who died this time was definitely high. Although only half of the Grim Worm’s heart was summoned, it should be able to take down at least one or two Tier 4s, right?
Tara dealt with the body. The two of them just waited quietly in the shack.
Through the subtle connection with the Grim Worm, Ciel could know what it was doing.
At least if the Grim Worm died, Ciel would know what killed it, and she could be prepared for Ansu City’s trump cards.
Ciel decided to wait for another five minutes. If Lucy still hadn’t appeared within five minutes, Ciel would have to consider leaving Ansu City to lay low for a while, and also observe what kind of destruction the Grim Worm could cause.
Fortunately, Ciel didn’t have to wait too long.
Two sets of hoofbeats stopped at the alley entrance. After a while, the dilapidated wooden door of the shack was pushed open. Then, Ciel saw Lucy standing outside the door, and the young girl behind Lucy.
For a moment, Ciel almost stood up directly.
Because the young girl before her was so similar to Windsor. Their hair color and eye color were identical, like twins. Ciel almost thought the Windsor she had stabbed to death had come back to life.
Now it seemed, the young girl before her was Princess Vitalis.
“Ciel, I’ve brought her...”
Lucy said, panting.
Lucy’s emotions were still quite high at the moment. Along the way, she had witnessed many hellish scenes... This was definitely a terrifying incident that would be recorded in history, and she was one of the witnesses.
At this moment, Ciel looked at Princess Vitalis before her, thinking inwardly.
Judging by the Grand Princess’s appearance... she seemed to have come willingly...
Why?
But it was definitely not safe to stay in the West District right now.
Judging by their speed in getting here, they were likely synchronized with her, having gotten out before the black curtain spread.
“Vitalis Cecile Augusta.”
Vita seemed not to mind the dilapidated surroundings and calmly introduced herself, “I have arrived. May I ask if Your Excellency can remove the danger over there?”
So that’s it.
Vita thought I created all that commotion just to kidnap her?
“You’ve misunderstood, Princess Vitalis.”
Ciel showed a faint smile and said, “This ritual was not designed for you.”
The target is not me?
Hearing Ciel’s words, Vita’s expression slightly changed. She questioned, “What is your purpose? Do you not know how big the impact will be? How many people will die?”
“I am merely helping the royal family conduct a census of the population data in the West District,”
Ciel shook her head and smiled, “You should be thankful.”
Ciel didn’t care how many people died in the simulation. All she cared about was intelligence.
She looked at Vitalis before her and continued, “But if you can cooperate next, perhaps all of this won’t happen... It won’t happen from the root cause.”
At this moment, Vita, looking at the young girl with pink pupils before her, felt her hair stand on end. Just looking at her smile made her scalp tingle.
This is a lunatic...
Tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of lives, seemed insignificant in her eyes. And the words the red-haired young girl spoke were also completely incomprehensible.
What does “won’t happen” mean...? Isn’t this something that has already happened? The people who died in this incident won’t come back to life.
When a lunatic is ready to reason with you, you’d best try to comply and not provoke her.
“...What do you need me to cooperate with?” Vita slowly said.
“July 7th, were you in Berren City? Manor No. 5.” Ciel asked directly.
“Yes.”
Vita slowly nodded. “I saw you... You came for this matter, didn’t you?”
“Smart.”
Ciel slightly nodded and said, “Next, you will truthfully tell me why you were in Berren City, and all your whereabouts from July 17th until now.”
“I can guarantee you that if I find out you lied, what happened today will happen again, and we... won’t be able to stand here and talk properly like this.”
My past whereabouts... and verification?
As if you can go back in time and check...
However, Vita saw the green-haired girl beside her wearing a goddess sculpture and knew she was likely an “Ascetic” who could detect lies. She quickly said:
“On July 7th, I was in Berren City to meet someone. She said she could help me accomplish certain things, but she didn’t show up when I got there. I was tricked, so I left Berren City that same night...”
Ciel interrupted: “Something? What? Be specific.”
Vita took a deep breath and slowly said, “She said it was something that could stop the royal family from continuing to ban aid to North Ansu... The condition I offered was to help contact the grain import-export association and the Orlando Republican Army. But the other party broke their promise.”
Huh?
Hearing this, Ciel was startled for a moment.
Earlier, when investigating the bombing that attempted to assassinate Avena, Ciel had tortured a group of people.
Balfour, the grain merchant who funded it but was almost liquidated, John from the city committee, and Goodwin from the Orlando Republican Army.
Connecting these seemingly unrelated people, Ciel had always thought it was the Society of Merriment’s infiltration... It turns out this Princess was the intermediary?
Isn’t she from the royal family?
What she did clearly harmed the royal family’s interests.
