“Right!”
I focused all my attention on the figure, worried it might slip into the darkness and disappear like it had previously.
But I had underestimated how quick the figure was.
It saw meing and took off towards the back.
It moved like a gust of wind-so fast!
“Damn it!”
As Ivy and I dashed after the figure, weaving through the forest path and panting heavily, Ivy blurted out, “It’s fast!”
I was tired but kept my focus, advising, “Stay calm; even if we can’t keep pace right now, we need to keep our eyes peeled.
It’ll make a mistake eventually.
We can’t let it get away.
”
Ivy reminded me, “But dear, it’s already gone.
”
I stopped running.
The forest ahead of me suddenly felt deserted; the noise-making figure had vanished into the darkness.
“No! I refuse to believe it!”

I scowled, looking around in frustration.
I used my witch power and ran until my Legs nearly gave out.
How could the figure slip away so easily?
No matter how hard I looked, I couldn’t find any sign of the figure.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.
It hit me then that this ce was near a za in a forest people hardly ever went to, close to where they found Ollie’s body earlier today.
But this realization waspletely pointless.
The main suspect in the murder case had once again slipped through my fingers.
I was overconfident, and it worked against me.
“Dear, don’t me yourself.
This creature isn’t ordinary!” Ivy saw how downcast I was and quickly tried to lift my spirits.
“Think about it; even a werewolf doesn’t move as fast as this one.
It’s not our fault.
Even the swiftest man might not have caught him.
”
I just let out a deep sigh.
“Let’s head back.
”
After the chase, I noticed that the figure wasn’t just swift, but it was also really good at disappearing, blending into the darkness like a cat catching mice in the night.
When the clouds had covered the moon earlier, it had navigated the pitch-dark forest effortlessly.
I was no match for it.
Just as I was about to give up and turn back, a rustling noise came nearby.
