The Speedrun Manual of Miss Witch-Chapter 211

“My lord… you are…”

After hearing about the Society of Merriment, Fred seemed to have completely given up resisting. His hands hung limp, his shoulders drooped, only a slight resentment lingered in his eyes.

Disobeying instructions from superiors could also be considered a tradition of the Society of Merriment.

“Oh?”

Ciel blinked her eyes.

Revealed it so quickly?

Ciel had thought she would need to apply some pressure to make him say what she wanted.

After confirming the identity of the mole, it could basically be concluded that the Society of Merriment in reality had already obtained Adele’s information…

This is a bit troublesome.

In reality, this mole had been let go due to Ashford’s mistake and trust. Later, Tara also failed to track their movements, so the information must have been transmitted to the Society of Merriment. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

But in the previous simulation… it’s been over a hundred days. Did the Society of Merriment, knowing Adele’s information, not take any action? Aren’t they and Forte in a secret cooperation?

There are two situations.

The first situation is that the Society of Merriment is preparing to hide this information, waiting until the most crucial point to expose it, disrupting Forte’s plan or achieving other goals.

The second situation is that someone within the Society of Merriment… intercepted this information and did not report it further.

Ciel is more inclined towards the second situation, and also hopes it is the second situation… If the Society of Merriment already knows the news, Ciel will be very passive.

If only someone intercepted the news, it would instead give Ciel more room to maneuver.

Now, she can only see if she can extract information about another person from Fred.

Ignoring the unlucky “Physician” who was still screaming beside her, Ciel walked step by step towards Fred. She slowly raised her muzzle, aimed it at Fred before her, and questioned coldly:

“You dare betray me?”

Ciel only did this to trick him a little. From the situation with the Chaos Squad, it seemed that subordinates of the Society of Merriment would not have two superiors simultaneously.

If the Keyman died and Fred still has someone he can transmit news to, there’s a small probability this is a betrayal.

“Betrayal…? Your Excellency Keyman…”

Fred took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down. “I don’t seem to have agreed to your conditions yet.”

“Tsk…”

Ciel slightly frowned.

So the Keyman was the one poaching subordinates.

Too troublesome…

Ciel instantly raised her gun, aimed it at the other party’s arm, and fired directly.

Bang—

Ciel’s blood was extracted again. A bullet spun out, embedding itself directly in Fred’s right hand.

The moment the bullet left the barrel, Ciel, holding her gun, charged directly forward. She supported herself with her left hand on the experimental table before her. Her body leaped into the air. After flipping over the table, she rolled once, then her right leg fiercely pushed off the ground. Her entire body leaped forward like a cannonball.

Fred looked at Ciel rushing over, his face horrified. He turned and was about to run.

Thud—

Ciel’s elbow precisely struck Fred’s back. Then she raised her right hand high and directly smashed the wooden grip of Deadly Blood Roland against the back of Fred’s head.

Fred only felt an intense pain in his back that felt as if it would suffocate him. Then he was smashed to the ground and fell unconscious.

Just then, a commotion came from the doorway. A white shadow flickered at the entrance, condensing into shape.

It is Kitty.

Kitty at this moment looked at the mess before her and the figure lying at Ciel’s feet. She only felt a tightness in her chest.

It’s over… there’s no longer a chance to capture someone to atone…

Ciel turned back, looking at Kitty, who finally arrived. She said, “Take him back. There are still things to interrogate.”

Then, Ciel lowered her head and looked at the unconscious Fred. Blood Roland was still continuously spreading along his right arm. She lowered her right hand, aimed the gunblade of Blood Roland at his arm joint, and forcefully flicked upward.

Fred’s right arm was directly chopped off. The severed arm was kicked aside by Ciel.

“Yes… yes.”

Kitty dared not show any slack. She was afraid of making another mistake now, thereby making things even worse.

“And Sherlon? Did you deal with him?”

Ciel at this moment still seemed to be in high spirits, looking as if she was about to directly challenge a Tier 2.

“No… Sherlon is not in the hospital. However, with this commotion, he will likely arrive soon…”

Kitty walked to Ciel’s side with her head lowered, directly took out a bottle of potion and poured it onto Fred’s severed arm, then lifted him by his collar and dragged him up.

“Sigh…”

Ciel shook her head slightly, feeling a little disappointed. Then she said, “Let’s go. Go back and interrogate him.”

“Yes.”

Kitty dragged Fred’s body and led the team, directly taking a carriage to quickly leave Clock Tower Alley.

From their sudden intrusion to their departure, only a few minutes had passed. Let alone patrolling detectives, even if Sherlon reacted, Ciel and her people would certainly have already returned to Deton Manor with the person.

…

Farm on the outskirts of Berren City, in the underground interrogation room.

Kitty’s face held nervousness. Her mouth was dry and her tongue parched. She didn’t know how many times she had swallowed her saliva in vain. The feeling of continuous swallowing even made Kitty feel a wave of dizziness.

Finally, she secretly glanced at Fred, who was still unconscious. She looked at Ciel, who was sitting to the side, again, lowered her head, and asked tremblingly, “Lord Bishop… this action will certainly provoke a counterattack from the Redemption Society. I’m worried…”

“No need to worry.”

Ciel’s expression, however, was one of indifference. She said casually, “You just need to handle what you are doing now. This is a big matter. If you handle it well, it will be counted as your merit, and you can also atone for your previous actions.”

“Phew…”

Kitty slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

What Kitty was worried about was that this action would ruin her long-standing plans at Deton Manor, and then she would be made a scapegoat for being used by the Society of Merriment.

With her guilt increasing, she even had to consider whether she should run away.

Now that she heard Ciel say that completing this matter could atone for her, Kitty’s nervous emotions relaxed considerably.

Ciel naturally didn’t think as much as Kitty did.

Anyway, she would definitely leave after 24 hours in the simulation. Why would she care about what happens after 24 hours?
