[76] THAT OLD GRANNY BETTER BE READY FOR THESE HANDS

"If you activate this magic, you will be able to endlessly create miasma with a density never seen before. Any person that comes into contact would probably die instantly. The miasma you saw in the forest is just the dress of the ancient formula." Sullivan explained as you three sent looks to each other. "I see. So that's the history you were taught." Sebastian said as he set down Sullivan onto her feet "What do you mean?" She asked as she held onto your to help her stand upright as Sebastian went to the center of the circle and began to push aside the stand. "Stop! If anyone besides the green witch touches that altar-" she stopped herself as below the altar was a lever.

"What happens?" You asked "It brings misfortune." She finished as Sebastian grabbed the lever and pulled it up. The sudden sound of a wall shifting caught everyone's attention as the elevator changed to a more modern one with a latch. "What is this?!" She exclaimed as door just sat there, taunting her. "So, lady Sullivan. This is the entrance to the real 'outside world'. You can still go back if you wish." Sebastian told her as she seemed deep in thought and clenched her fists. "I'm going ahead!" She decided as Sebastian picked her up again and opened the door latch and you four entered the elevator as it made a small ding for every floor it past.

You four were walking down a hallway as a door to a room was barely open. It caught your eye as you pulled Ciel with you to look. "Hey, come here." Ciel ordered Sebastian as he came over with Sullivan and the two saw the room that was filled with monitors and made noise. You made the move to go in first and signaled it was alright for the others to enter "So many flashing pictures... Is this a new kind of magic circle?" Sullivan asked in awe as you looked at a monitor with multiple dots scattered around. "Those dots are moving quite slow, wait. Is this a map of Wolfsschlucht?!" You exclaimed as you got closer to get a better look.

"I see. Humans have really interesting ideas!" Sebastian gasped as he looked at the screen in awe. "Wait, if I'm thinking correctly, those dots are supposed to be the villagers?" You asked in a shakey tone as Sebastian confirmed it. "No way! How could you do such a thing?!" Ciel shouted at Sullivan who was just as surprised. "Could it be... That amulet?!" He asked as there were three dots in a room that didn't move an inch. "Yes. Those amulets are probably transmitters sending some kind of signal which they can pick up from this room. It was right to leave them behind." Sebastian revealed as you looked at every dot moved along with the villagers in their everyday lives.

"'If you keep the amulet with you, you'll be able to avoid werewolves and miasma.' I never thought there was such an advanced trick behind that." Your brother breathed out "T-that can't be! Those amulets were prepared by the elders after offering a special prayer on a night the full moon-!" Sullivan protested as Sebastian suddenly placed a hand over her mouth and you all ducked. "Someone is coming." He informed her as voices were heard. "Hey! Be fast!" "Is it finished already?!" Two voices shouted "Let's go."

-

"What is this?" Sullivan asked as she looked upon the tanks filled with who knows what. "It must be a factory to make 'something'." Sebastian assumed as he walked ahead with Sullivan. "There an elevator here, too." You pointed out as you and your brother walked past the door. A sudden noise caught everyone's attention as you four peeked around a corner to see the ugly lady from when you first arrived! "Look!! Your green witch has finally accomplished her job!" She declared as she held up a vile of a substance. The beings she was walking to were werewolves as they hollered below her. "Old grandma...?" Sullivan muttered as she looked on in confusion. "A miasma denser than ever is condensed inside this little bottle. This is going to change history!" The grandma declared as Sullivan pushed herself out of Sebastian's arms and even knocked over some tanks in the process as she shouted. "You!! What does this mean?!" She shouted as the werewolves looked back at her.

"The green witch."
"It's the green witch!"
"Get her!"

Just as that was ordered rhey got close to Sullivan but didn't have any ill intentions.

"Are you ok?!"
"Give her a suit!"
"What are the bosses doing?!"

They shouted as they swarmed her and made sure she was unharmed, she held a surprised and scared face as the werewolves didn't seem to pay any mind.

"What about her values?"
"It's green, no issues!"
"Thank God!"

"What are... You..." She shakily said as a werewolf faced her. "Lady Sullivan. Ah?" The werewolf made a confused sound as the mask of the costume was sliced in half to show a man. "What do you think, lady Sullivan? The 'outside world' is full of surprises, isn't it?" Sebastian asked as she looked up at the man with wide eyes. "A normal... Man." She breathed out "He was hiding a mask in the wolfs nose. This is quite an elaborate farce. The werewolves were actually just men wearing costumes." You revealed as you held up the destroyed mask.

"And the miasma is a chemical weapon created in this factory. It's poisonous gas!" Ciel announced as she looked up at you three with wide eyes. "The werewolves and the curse are all lies. They just told you that to deceive you!" He shouted as she didn't want to believe it. "...no...way... Then what about the magic I created?" She asked the grandma who was willing to reveal everything. "Indeed. What you do is not magic. But it's much more amazing than magic! When this liquid vaporizes, all living things that come into contact with it will die. You should be proud! You created the most powerful poisonous gas in history!" She declared as she held up the vile for Sullivan to see.

"Oh, right. We should give a name to this historical chemical weapon." She remembered as she began making out words. "Sullivan. Letzt Waffe, Ideal, Nebel. 'SLeINe', no. 'SuLIN' let's call this sulin!" The grandma announced as she held up the vile as if it were a a grand prize.

-

"What... I've been creating so far... Wasn't magic... But poisonous gas...? I didn't... Create something to protect villagers... But a weapon that will be used to kill people..?!" Sullivan and shrieked as she began to cry. "Does it mean... That everyone was just delivering me? Please tell me it's a lie... Old grandma!" She cried out as the old grandma held a serious face. "Why are you crying? Sieglinde." She called the girl who looked at her in horror. "It's because of your wonderful intellect... And the perfect environment that allowed you to concentrate on your research... That would were able to create the ultimate chemical weapon!" She declared as she held the vile with a cruel and wide smile.

"Why would you be sad about it? You changed history! You're my loved one, the person I lost that day." She exclaimed before calming down and looking down at Sullivan. "Huh?" Sullivan made a sound of confusion as the old woman revealed something you thought you might've never known. "You should stop crying. My dear daughter." She said quietly with a calmer smile "Dau...ghter?" Sullivan spaced out as the woman pulled out a photo. "13 years ago I took part in a certain military project." She revealed before explaining what led up to Sullivan being isolated.

-

"It's because you were here that you could concentrate on your research and were able to develop the new weapon in less than 10 years! Our project was successful Sieglinde!" The girls mother exclaimed happily as she in return clutched her head and screamed out in horror. "Lady?!" Wolfram called out as he came out from the crowd of men in wolf suits but paused at the sight of Sebastian "You bastard!!" He cursed at the butler as Sullivan seethed. "You... Deceived me too... LIAR!!" She shouted at Wolf who seemed to be affected by her words.

"You ruined a child's feet and threatened her to develop a weapon, is that what a mother would do?" Ciel asked as he placed Sullivan's arm over his shoulder as he got ready to run with her. "Children are no their parents tools!!" You exclaimed as you pulled out your gun and shot at the light above to distract them before dashing off with Ciel and Sullivan barely behind you.

"Sieglinde!!" The woman called out to her daughter as Wolfram pulled out his own gun. "Stop!" He shouted as the other men in disguise argued amongst themselves while you opened the door to the elevator and urged the other two inside before making the elevator door close. "Sebastian! Take care of them!" You ordered as he stood in front of the elevator door and faced the men now holding guns as he adjusted his gloves. "Yes. My lady."

-

You pulled out a flare gun and shot it up into the air to send the servants a signal as Ciel set down Sullivan onto the ground who was still in shock and disbelief. "If you leave this place, countless people will try to use you. And you'll probably experience worse things than what you saw today. Trust me." You started as you lowered your arm holding the flare gun and looked down on the ground. "I believe it's time to choose whether you still want to go to the outside world..." You dropped the flare gun and pulled out your gun again "Or you'd rather..." You turned around and pointed the gun right at her head as she looked up at you in fear as you looked down at her with an unreadable face. "Get it over with now."
