Volume 6 Chapter 2 Part2 (1/2)
She pushed her way through the nored the guards standing at the main entrance and ran inside She didn’t have the leisure to do anything like ask if the medical team was there
As she entered thesound round Jackhammers and pulleys were operated in order to excavate the Books lying deep underground Above were the power reactors needed tofor a second, Noloty ran upwards
She conjectured that theGod Cult
Giving the townspeopleAnd they will act after finishi+ng their preparations The most suitable place for them to spread Deep Blue Curse from would be the mines
A chih theout froh it and covered the entire town
By using this sens, it would probably take less than 30 minutes to cover the town
Her guess had been right Noloty found a collapsed person halfway through the path to the power reactors Froineer He was breathing; he was merely asleep
“Sorry, I’ll take care of you later”
Saying so, she ran ahead She then shouted while running
“Wait!”
Her angry shouting drowned out the drilling sounds and probably echoed through the entire mines
Perhaps surprised by Noloty’s voice, the white-clothedin front of the power reactors opened their eyes wide
She shuddered for a second She truly just made it in the last second One of the ens inside there would cover up the town in no time
“An Armed Librarian!”
The white-wearing uns at the same time With that Noloty was able to assess their capabilities
She had three eneic He was a giant holding a conspicuously long gun Without paying any attention to the other two, she charged straight at the giant
They shot their guns all at once However, Noloty evaded only the giant man’s shot Ordinary people couldn’t follow her speed
The fight was settled in an instant That instant showcased the difference in fighting capabilities between Noloty and the three men
She threay the gianther palm Then she used her elbow to strike his solar plexus She could feel the ih his arans Noloty had spent her youth hitting people There was no mistake she would be able to finish him like that
The giant collapsed facing forward His re coently as one handled raw eggs
“Alright”
Noloty weakly clenched her fist She hated killing people, but didn’t hesitate on hitting them
And at that e presence She took her eyes off the three men and looked around
“…!”
She found the figure of a person from behind the power reactor It was small - a child She didn’t have the tiirl
That was because the giant un and headed for them
Just before the shot she kicked the barrel up At the sarabbed the child
“shi+t!”
She either went too easy on hiiant un at Noloty and the child
The second bullet was shot Noloty ht ahead without evading A sharp ih her fist Noloty’s fist, protected by the hard straw rope, reflected the bullet It grazed the giant man’s foot
Perhaps realizing the different in strength between theiant started his escape He held his two collapsed co both arms and ran to the exit
“…”
She needed to chase after them and finish them off However, Noloty didn’t It would risk the child she was holding She also couldn’t just leave the child there The enemies weren’t limited to only those three people
Noloty concentrated all of her senses to search around her She gazed around, listened to any sounds, and concentrated on her sixth sense She was looking for the small discomfort known as murderous intent that would be felt just before an attack
At this tiht have died Even Luimon was killed by a bomb, for example Even normal people could kill Armed Librarians in cases where they were completely defenseless
“…!”
She reflexively threay the child she was holding The child rolled on the ground and hit the wall A knife fell from their hands
Noloty’s stoht dizziness It was a poisoned knife
“…Right, there’s no way an ordinary child would be here”
She looked at the child again She couldn’t tell clearly because of the hat he wore low on his head, but it was probably a boy
The dirty overall he as cute in a child-like way
“Hey, what’s your name?”
Noloty asked The boy tried to escape without answering She caught him immediately She collapsed him face down and pinned him down from his neck
“…Gi-Gian!”
The boy called somebody’s name At that time, anothertill then He held a grenade in his hand
“…Coether!”
The boy told thehands
“Kill! Kill her!”
“I…”
The renade’s pin He then threw it towards Noloty
“I, I can’t do it!”
“You idiot!”
The grenade rolled besides Noloty She let go of the boy and took it She grasped it with all of her strength, destroying the detonator and the gunpowder The man who threw it ran off at full speed
She ended letting go of the boy Now released, he stood far from Noloty He held a bottle in his hand
The boy grinned He threw the bottle at Noloty’s feet Without any tirabbed it with her hand There was a black liquid inside of it
“I did it!”
The boy raised a cry of joy This bottle probably contained the pathogens they had tried to spread The lid was open Thin smoke rose from inside of it
“I did it, I did it, ahahahahahaha, ahahahahahahaha!”
If this bottle contained the pathogens for the Deep Blue Curse, Noloty had already been infected There was no remedy for that disease She then muttered at him
“…You got me It’s my loss”
The boy’s face distorted It was too broken of an expression to call it a s
Noloty looked at the bottle’s label Sure enough, the words “Deep Blue Curse” ritten on it
When she saw the boy stopped laughing she asked him a question
“Say, can you tell me before I die? Why did you attack this place?”
“Hahahahahaha, it didn’t matter where It could be anyone, I just had to kill you! Serves you right, serves you right Armed Librarian!”
The boy kept laughing
“What’s your name?”
“This is your punishment, Armed Librarian Punishment for your crimes!”
“I asked your name, boy”
The boy said his na her with it
“I’m Arkit Remember, the one to punish you was Arkit Chroma!”
“I see So you were the mastermind”
Saying so, Noloty took the bottle to her ulp
“Ugh, tastes horrible”
While saying this, Noloty picked up the lid and closed the bottle Arkit opened his eyes in blank amazement
“There’s no cure for the Deep Blue Curse… but have you not known that a preventive medicine has been completed?”
She put the bottle in her pocket
“Biological attacks are scary, you see We have at least soainst Armed Librarians”
The befuddled Arkit’s face was contorted in sorrow In the nextapart
“Waaaaah!”
Screa He raised both of his fists and tried swinging them at Noloty’s stomach As not to kill him, she struck his face with her open palm
The collapsed boy grabbed his poisoned knife He swung it clued at Noloty
She knocked off the knife and hit his face His hat fell off at that moment Beloas the boy’s unhealthy, pale face
“…You!”
Shouting, Arkit charged at Noloty He didn’t even know if he was trying to hit her or grab her She seized his ar his other arm to hit her stomach and chest
While being beaten, Noloty picked up Arkit’s hat and then set it gently atop his head
Until now Noloty had beeneneainst weak enemies
Noloty kept receiving his frail fists until he grew tired and could not move
Mining engineers and the security guards started gathering froo back She wanted to speak with hi God Cult was a secret for the general public after all
“So you planned this?”
Noloty asked She did feel soive him
“Die”
Arkit answered
“I hate that kind of selfishness You were going to kill a lot of the townspeople Don’t just go and die by yourself I’ry”
Arkit snorted
“Don’t screith me I didn’t involve any of the townspeople!”
“Even though you were going to spread the Deep Blue Curse?”
