===Aoe’s Continued Sight Mode: In DT Castle===

'''<Aoe’s Over Reload>

Aoe ran full speed through the castle.

He raced across the stone floor, jumped down the stairs, and grabbed the walls to swing himself around the corners.

He ran despite how loudly his feet were pounding on the stone.

The only light came from the torches in the hallways.

He rushed through the flickering crimson glow. He was reliant on the map Yuo had sent him on the see-through window he had left open and on Monkey who was leading the way.

Yuo had marked the location of her room on the map, so he ran toward the place indicated by a red arrow, leaving himself out of breath. He pumped his arms, tilted as far forward as he could without losing balance, and converted all his energy into speed.

'''“Yuo!”

He shouted and continued forward.

The window in front of him showed his current position as a blue dot. He was close to the red arrow. He only had to turn one more corner and descend one more flight of stairs.

He turned the corner. His sandals skidded across the stone and he ducked low while redirecting his momentum.

He pushed himself forward with a kick off the floor.

He sucked in a breath, released it, and took off running again. Monkey also slipped around the corner, but kept running.

He saw people in the hallways as he ran.

NPC Body maids, librarians, and civil officials. He also saw the occasional knight.

But none of them were moving.

<It wasn’t just the comm tower. Are all the NPC Bodies here frozen?>

He chose to focus on moving forward instead of on wondering why.

He ran.

He could see the stairs now. That meant he would arrive soon.

He descended the short, 6-step flight of stairs in only two steps.

At the bottom, he found a corridor stretching out ahead of him. A few knights and civil officials were frozen there.

He passed by their unmoving forms and found part of the southern wall sitting open. The arrow on the window said that was his destination.

<Yuo!>

After slipping between a final pair of frozen NPC Bodies, he rushed into the opening in the wall.
