The warden who guards the witches.

It's Haunted

　"Haunted?" Aiden took the corridor in stride and couldn't help but widen his eyes at Flanda's report.

　　"Yes, you'll know it when you see it."

　　Aiden was stunned on the spot as he followed Flanda around the corner and into the corridor near the confinement room.

　　Smokey spirits drifted throughout the corridor, with faint wailing sounds coming from it, and the air through the corridor was cold and biting, as if it were winter.

　　The air through the corridor was cold and harsh, as if it was winter. The light from the windows seemed to have been drained away by some invisible existence, and the entire corridor was unnaturally dark, so gloomy that it made people feel terrified.

　　"It's really haunted." Aiden immediately agreed with Flanda.

　　The entire corridor of the confinement area had been turned into an eerie and terrifying haunted house, and it had even been possible to set up a table at this end of the corridor to sell tickets.

　　It was fine to look at it now, but at night it was expected that not many prison guards would dare to remain on duty here.

　　In the memories Aiden had inherited as an investigator of the Heresy Judgement Bureau, it was probably only haunted houses or mausoleums that had been used as strongholds by necromancers and haunted by spirits that would appear like this.

　　He recognised that these invisible spirits floating around in the corridors were in fact grievances emanating from the Grievous Spirits, and that these Grievous Spirits creatures would be slowly drained of their life-force if they came into contact with them, gradually becoming weaker and weaker, and that there was a certain amount of danger to the living, so Flanders and the others didn't dare to approach them rashly.

　　"These are floating out from confinement chamber number one."

　　Flanda pointed to a room closest to them, and Aiden remembered that the necromancer Silk Rhine was imprisoned there.

　　Silk Rhine was a reanimated corpse that had been voluntarily transformed by necromancy for revenge, and she carried an extremely strong resentful spirit constitution in herself.

　　If there was no boundary sealing her magic, she would be emitting a strong aura of grievance like she is now.

　　But even with her magic sealed, she would still carry some weird characteristics, one of which was that those who shared a room with her would have nightmares over and over again as soon as they slept, so almost no one in the core area would be willing to be her roommate.

　　"Is the sealing knot working properly?" Aiden asked in passing.

　　"I checked, everything is fine." Flanda nodded, "Should we increase the intensity?"

　　"Not yet, go to the library and get Arsenal over here to deal with it, I'll go over and check the situation first." Aiden waved his hand.

　　With the boundary sealing the magic power still functioning normally, the only explanation for Silk Rein's spiteful physique suddenly presenting itself was the sudden surge in her magic power.

　　But Silk Rein had been locked up in the confinement room since yesterday, so as a matter of fact there shouldn't be any chance to move anything.

　　"Warden, that's a bit dangerous, isn't it." Flanda warned from the side.

　　"It's fine, I can still handle this level."

　　Aiden finished l*****g the index finger of his right hand, and then drew a rune on his left hand, a simple exorcism enchantment with magical knowledge inherited from his predecessor Aiden.

　　He then walked over to Confinement Room One and peered in through the barred barred window in the iron door.

　　At first glance, he didn't see Silhouette.

　　Was it sitting down against the door?

　　Thinking so, he cautiously approached the barred window.

　　It was here that Silk Rhine's ghastly white zombie face suddenly lifted up from underneath the barred window, frightening Aiden so much that he almost died on the spot.

　　He violently tensed his whole body, and managed to control himself not to scream.

　　This haunted house ...... is really exciting.

　　"Prisoner 3271, can you explain what's going on with you?" Aiden tried to slow himself down and forced himself to ask questions towards Silhouette.

　　"Warden ......" Silk Rhine stared at Aiden with those eyes that flashed with ghostly fire and answered back, "Please let me out!"

　　"What are you going out for?"

　　"I'm going to kill Carmilla! She killed my son!!!" Silhouette gripped the railing, "I can feel it ...... I don't have much time left! I have to kill her while I can!!!"

　　Aiden could only let out a long sigh as he listened, "Don't talk rubbish, how could I allow a prisoner to kill someone in my prison?"

　　"Let me kill her! Looking at my enemy right in front of me but not being able to kill her, can you imagine how I feel!?" Silk Rhine banged hard on the barred window, her accusing voice taking on a sobbing tone.

　　Aiden fell silent, he clearly realised that he couldn't communicate with Silk Rein in this situation, and he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to ask anything from her.

　　Silk Rein, a felon in the core area, was a ghastly ghoul, but if you put aside the fear of her, this woman's nature was just an ordinary woman who had lost her son.

　　Aiden had once read in the information that Silk Rhine's son, who had joined the gangs in order to raise money for his mother's treatment, was only fifteen years old when he was killed.

　　"Dead old woman are you annoyed! You're making this place haunted! I can't even sleep anymore!"

　　There was a sudden roar from Carmilla at the end of the corridor and the loud thud of her foot kicking in the door.

　　Aiden turned his head to see Carmilla's gritted face appear in the room at the end of the corridor, where they had purposely imprisoned the pair of enemies in the two furthest apart rooms.

　　Silk Rhine's original spiteful physique couldn't affect that far away, but now that her spiteful aura had suddenly spread out like this, Carmilla was still affected.

　　Although with the Dragonborn's strong physique, it wasn't so much that she would become weakened by this bit of grievance. Still, the mental effects could not be defended against, and this resentment could cause creatures to fall into a state of irritability and tension, and once they closed their eyes to sleep, they would have nightmares.

　　"Murderer! You give back my son's life!!!"

　　Silk Rhine screamed at Carmilla, the shrill whine of the grudge provoking a headache in Aiden, who could only frown and cover his ears.

　　"Pay back your head ah pay back, my mother is not already in jail now? Your son himself is just a gangster, it's not normal for him to be beaten to death! You don't give me too much!" Carmela also kicked up the door grumpily.

　　At that moment, Arsenal came over with her long staff, and Aiden didn't say anything when he saw her, but just pointed towards the confinement room where Silk Rein was staying.

　　Nodding knowingly, Arsenal lifted her staff and swung it, instantly dispersing the resentful aura that had coiled in the corridor, before pointing it at Silk Rhine, who was still shouting in agitation.

　　In an instant, the ghostly fire in Silk Rhine's eyes went out, and then she collapsed as if she had passed out.

　　Arsenal used Necromancy to forcefully suppress the reanimation spell on her, temporarily interrupting her consciousness as if shutting down a machine.

　　"Hey, jailbird! I can't take it anymore. Why don't you just open the door! Let me beat this old woman to death and get it over with!!!" Carmilla screamed at Aiden as she banged on the cell door.

　　"I'm already taking care of it, are you blind? Stay in your room honestly." Aiden glared that way.

　　Carmilla glared back at Aiden, kicked the cell door harder again, and backed away.
