Just like Aya who sold dumplings mentioned.

Maybe it's happening right in front of your eyes. 、

After all, whether it is a witch or not depends on internal detection. They said yes, that is.

In addition, there are some things that are really suspicious.

For example, the witches and the girls who were framed as witches never had their bodies left. Although it is said that it needs to be disposed of internally to prevent the blood of the witch from being used for evil, it is really strange where the corpse has gone. No one ever saw them bury a witch.

Thinking of this, April stopped, vaguely sensing that something was wrong.

She remembered the rumor.

It is rumored that many of the girls who were not witches were not killed, but were subjected to horrific experiments or traded as slaves in private. I don't know where I live now. Of course, the number of these girls is certainly not too large to be too remarkable, but I did hear that the number of witches in the past two years has been a bit too much.

I'll have to go to jail and investigate...... But what to do?

At the moment, April is in a hurry, but she really doesn't have any good ideas.

So, she changed her thinking: on the basis of the idea just now, why did the prison not want to let the demon hunters enter the investigation, but allowed the prisoners to issue demon hunting commissions?

...... Aprile thought about it, and she couldn't help but stop. Because she suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Speaking of which, when I came here at noon, the guard was puzzled and surprised when he heard that I was a witcher: I wondered how this guy was acting as if he had never heard of a prisoner's commission.

Although it can be explained that I have never heard of it...... But shouldn't it be assumed that it is strange nowadays that the prisoner has issued a demon hunting commission when it is clearly stipulated that the witcher should not be allowed to enter?

Was that really a simple demon hunting commission, and who gave me this letter?

While Aprili was puzzled, she also felt a hint of conspiracy.

Is that uncle from the prison? But it seems that he doesn't know the content of the letter, and he is really just an errand runner. I really don't know why he would want to send this letter.

Perhaps, the prison rules really allow for demon hunting commissions? But the logic doesn't make sense: why should you allow the commission, which will surely attract the demon hunters who want to talk to each other in person?

In any case, the point is the attitude of the prison to the content of this commission.

Think about it...... April urged herself: Witch Inquisition, why do you want to do this?

Here's what to say: The prison allows Lena to make a commission. And demon hunters are not allowed to enter and question. In addition, the letter must not be forged, otherwise the idea will reach a dead end and will not be considered at all.

The employer, apparently, sensed something, and in order not to be too easily seen through, wrote the commission in a way that made it more difficult to discern the true meaning.

April didn't believe the Inquisition didn't see a problem. And even so, what's the problem with still issuing orders as usual?

......

Sure enough, they want to use me.

The cold thought in April's heart jumped so clearly.

Once I've done something to the delegated target, the spy-watching people may be disrupted.

What were they trying to do with that red ball of light, as was the case with today's house searches and the torture of girls.

It seems that the torture didn't ask anything useful...... Lena is still pinning her hopes on me, hoping that I can "solve" the monster.

I am afraid that the Inquisition did this kind of thing because of the desire to obtain the monster. So, I wonder if they know about the room I went to today?

If you know, it will reveal the specific existence of the monster. But April felt that there was no time to care about that now: after all, they should have checked the letters, and obviously knew that there were monsters here, but they didn't know where they were.

Taking a step back, they wouldn't be able to materialize even if they knew the orb of light was there.

...... I guess that's how it should be.

What should I do now? I can't understand what the ball of light is saying without seeing Lena......

I had to go to someone like an orc with a keen hearing to help...... I always feel like I can't count on the dean.

However, I am afraid that I can hear high-frequency sound waves clearly, but I don't understand the meaning.

For a moment, the form seemed to become very stiff.

So April, who was sleepy, felt that she had sorted out her thoughts again.

This time, she pondered why the girl, who was the employer, Lena, had been arrested.

I want to be asked about the monster and then die...... In short, from the moment he was caught in the witch's court, he could be said to be dead. There is simply no possibility of leaving alive.

Lena herself must have known that she would not end well if she was locked up here. Even if she is lucky enough not to die, it will only end worse: in the underground transaction, I don't know what will be done with her.

Even if it is sold, it will die sooner or later, and the way of dying is different and the degree of pain is different.

Therefore, it can be said that it is impossible to get out of prison alive. Since ancient times, the word has meant two things: real death and even more so the pain from which it cannot be relieved. Because the other fate is either delayed death, or it is no different from death. After all, even her identity has been declared dead in the world, and no one cares where she will die next.

Because the details of the witch's inquisition must not be exposed, even if she is sold and becomes a so-called slave, she will definitely be dealt with: such as cutting off her limbs and turning her into a human stick and not being able to escape. It's not like April hasn't seen this kind of thing before—it's better to see too much.

Behind some homicides, the parents who were killed, their daughters were usually taken away. Some of them are made according to the preferences of customers, and they have lost the ability to take care of themselves.

April is also a well-known demon hunter, and she has seen a lot of things. The Demon Hunter profession, like the Assassin, requires exposure to the darkest sides of society. The adventurous nature and moral ambiguity of the demon hunter profession allow them to see too many secrets that are usually unspeakable and cannot be surfaced on the surface of society.

And demon hunters are just a cog in this world. There are many things that they can't change. So a lot of times, you can only turn a blind eye – or rather not be able to interfere with anything. Moreover, there are many things that should not be interfered by outsiders who do not know the details.

When Aprili was a demon hunter, she was hell-bent on justice.

Later, it turned out that the enthusiasm was just in vain.

She only hopes that Canette will be more mature when she becomes a young and vigorous teacher in the future.
