Miss Witch's Speed ​​Run Manual

The middle-aged doctor swallowed.

If she remembered correctly... that was a very powerful poison, right? She had been in the Redemption Society before, and she knew very well that anything wrapped in this crystal must be a very potent poison.

And Adele had told me before that I shouldn't damage it at all when setting it...

This girl, is she taking poison as a candy pill?

Knowing that the girl in front of him might also be a superhuman, the doctor did not dare to delay. He immediately stood up, closed the door, suspended his business, and took Charles into the operating room.

It takes great care to handle these things. The entire operation of hollowing out the back molars and inserting poison took almost two hours to complete.

After finishing all this, the doctor wiped the sweat off his face as if exhausted, and said, "Ms. Charles, it's done... Please be careful and try to eat food that doesn't require biting."

"Well, thank you."

Ciel asked, "Is the surgery fee the same this time?"

"Yes, it's free too. I owe it to Miss Adele."

The doctor nodded.

"it is good."

After knowing that he didn't have to pay for the surgery, Charles didn't act pretentiously and walked out of the hospital and returned to the carriage.

At this moment, Charles felt something strange.

There are two strange protrusions in the back alveolar area of ​​the mouth, which feel like a foreign body, just like accidentally getting a bone stuck in it while eating.

It seems that you don't need to use any special force. Just a slight bump will cause the poison and the awakening potion to shatter together.

Charles could only bite the tip of his tongue gently the whole time to keep his upper and lower jaws from closing together to avoid accidentally biting the poison.

If you accidentally bite it, you will have to be more careful in your next life.

It was already half past six in the evening, and by the time the carriage brought Charles home, it was almost seven o'clock.

As soon as he opened the door, Charles smelled the aroma of meat wafting from the room. He looked towards the dining table, where there was a bowl of steaming broth and a portion of chopped vegetables mixed together, which looked like a salad.

"you are back?"

There was a sound of footsteps coming from the direction of the stairs. Charles looked up and saw his sister Lizzie, wearing an apron, walking down from upstairs.

"Since you haven't been home for a long time, I tried to cook a meal myself... Do you think it suits your taste?"

Lizzie asked with a smile.

This familiar and heartwarming scene startled Charles slightly. But thinking of what she had said in the simulation in the notebook, she took a deep breath and said stiffly, "I..."

Charles was about to say that he wasn't very hungry, but seeing Lizzie's smile, he chose to walk to the dining table, scooped a spoonful of broth into his bowl, and drank it.

It goes without saying that during these days, it must be the self in the simulation who cooks every day, and Lizzie washes the dishes and cleans the house.

"Delicious."

The taste was a bit bland and there wasn't enough salt, which is a common problem for novice cooks, but Charles still gave it a positive review with a smile.

"I still have some work to take care of, I'll go back to my room first."

After saying that, Charles slowly put down his bowl and chopsticks, and walked upstairs with steps that suddenly became heavy.

What the simulated self said was right; this was exactly the life she had longed for from the beginning.

Find a better job, move to a better place with my sister, go shopping with friends after get off work, don't struggle for survival, and enjoy life every day...

"You've been sick a lot lately, you need to eat well..."

Lizzie walked to the dining table and asked doubtfully, "Is my cooking too bad?"

Lizzie took a sip from Charles's bowl and then looked a little embarrassed. She smiled and said, "I'll add some salt, heat it up, and send it to your room... By the way, your friend sent some things, and I put them in your room for you."

"Um……"

Charles went upstairs carrying his canvas bag. After returning to his room, he closed and locked the door, leaned against the door and let out a long sigh.

She suddenly thought of a very old meme picture from her previous life.

It was a middle school student leaning against the car window with a toy gun, and he wrote, "If you pick up the gun, I can't hug you. If you put down the gun, I can't protect you."

Charles only thought that this kind of thing would appear in meme pictures or non-mainstream depression spaces, but he didn't expect to encounter such a thing himself.

From the moment he activated the system and entered the simulation for the first time, to the moment he killed someone for the first time, there was no way for Ciel to turn back on this path.

Charles saw the exquisite handbag that his sister had placed on his desk. He went forward and opened it, revealing a bottle of potion, a jewelry box and a letter.

This was sent to me by Avina.

After opening the letter, Charles saw what was inside.

Dear Charles:

[The money you sent already exceeds the amount for buying potions. There are too many things to put in. I will send you the extra money tomorrow.]

Although I didn't choose the path of a "detective," I still don't want you to embark on the path of a "killer"... I don't mean to deny your intentions, but I have seen too many "killers" and "butchers" in my family before.

[Before, you asked me if I could get the "Butcher". Actually, I know where to get a more perfect potion. I'm sorry I lied to you. It might be because of my selfishness. I don't want my friend to become like that...]

[Although the "Detective" path is difficult to follow, I can teach you how to switch to the "Killer" path in the subsequent "Judge"... provided that you are willing.]

[I don’t know what happened to you, and you don’t want to tell me. This feeling makes me feel very uncomfortable.]

Sorry, I seem to have said too much nonsense this time.

[Maybe I missed you, Ciel]

[——Your friend]

【Avina】

Charles put the letter down.

In fact, she didn't feel much in her heart. For Avina in the simulation, she hadn't seen herself for almost a month, but for Charles, they had just met yesterday, so it was difficult to empathize.

But Charles did feel Avina's kindness.

Ciel took out the bottle of potion and decided to go find Tara after digesting the potion.

From the moment he drank the potion, misfortune should have begun to brew. It seemed that what Charles was holding in his hand was not a crystal bottle, but Pandora's box that released the devil.

Holding the crystal bottle in front of his eyes, he saw countless unknown particles floating in the lavender liquid inside. Looking closely, it looked like thin fish scales, but judging by its softness, it was obviously not.

Instead, it looked like the skin of some creature cut by a knife.

Ciel opened the bottle of potion, and a fragrant smell rushed into his nose, like a high-end perfume, exuding a soft and refreshing fragrance.

The scales that were originally soaked in it began to swirl restlessly at this moment, as if they could not wait any longer.

Ciel raised his hand and drank the potion in one gulp.

A faint fruity aroma filled Charles' mouth, and the slightly cool potion went down his esophagus little by little and was completely absorbed before entering his stomach.

Charles closed his eyes, quietly waiting for the side effects and mumbling to come.

Having drunk so many bottles of potions, Charles had already gained experience and was now fully focused and prepared for the fight.

One second, two seconds...

One minute, two minutes...

Time passed by minute by minute.

The expected cool or burning feeling did not appear in his internal organs. Charles drank the potion as if he had drunk a bottle of water directly.

She even suspected that Avina had secretly replaced the potion with fruit tea?

The transparent scales inside are actually just thinly sliced ​​flesh?

With his eyes closed, Charles slowly raised his head, feeling the vague, as if instinctive ability and usage suddenly emerging in his mind, and then he opened his eyes in surprise.

Ok?

ended?

that's it?

Ciel raised her hands, and translucent scales covered her hands, protecting her fingerprints and every inch of her skin. Only then was she sure that she had really drunk the potion.

Where did Avina buy the potion? Why is it so effective? Not to mention the side effects, I can't even hear a whisper. It must be expensive, right?

Ciel took a deep breath, walked straight to the window and crawled under the quilt, holding his breath and covering his ears tightly.

In this situation where the surrounding sounds were blocked, Charles could hear the whispers in his mind that were so faint that they were almost drowned out by the sound of the wind and breathing.

Compared to the crazy mumbling from the potion he drank before, this mumbling could even be described as "well-behaved".

It seems like he doesn't dare to speak loudly.

Tuk-tuk-tuk——

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

Charles crawled out from under the covers, her hair a little messy, but she didn't tidy it up. She just put away her ability and opened the door directly.

When I opened the door, Li Qi was standing at the door with a bowl of steaming hot soup. She smiled and said, "I tried it in advance this time, and the taste is definitely fine... Although it's still quite a bit different from what you made, would you like to try it?"

After hesitating for a moment, Charles reached out and took the broth, drank it in one gulp, and said, "It tastes good."

"Be careful, it's hot...are you okay?"

Before Lizzie could remind him, Charles had already drunk the entire bowl of broth.

"Thank you."

Ciel handed the empty bowl to Lizzie and said, "I'm going to sleep for a while."

Then, with Lizzie's somewhat puzzled look in his eyes, Charles closed the door.

what happened……

Ciel raised his hands and looked at them.

Just now, when she saw Lizzie, and even when she drank the broth, the initial emotion she had felt had disappeared without a trace.

Feelings like being touched and being happy seemed to have drifted away from Ciel. Even when she looked at Lizzie, she felt like she was looking at an unrelated stranger.

This situation made Ciel feel uncomfortable—but it was just discomfort.

Did the "Killer" potion make him lose his emotions?

Can't stay long.

Charles put away the "Deathly Hallows" on the table, opened the window directly, climbed onto the roof, and jumped directly down from the other side of the street.

The scales have wrapped the poison in her mouth, and the crystal will no longer be broken at will. Moreover, as long as she wants, just a thought will make the scales instantly crush the crystal containing the poison and awakening potion.

She hung the "Deathly Hallows" around her neck and ran quickly towards Tara's residence. The "Killer" potion seemed to have greatly improved her [Dexterity], allowing her to run faster than a human could.

She and Tara lived not far from each other, both in the Gem District, and soon, Charles arrived at Tara's door.

The moment he stood in front of Tara's door, Charles's skin keenly sensed that more than ten gazes were fixed on him.

This is the super perception ability brought by the "killer".

Tuk-tuk-tuk——

Charles knocked on the door, and soon, Tara's door was opened. Tara, who was wearing a black dress, also saw Charles and her eyes lit up instantly.

"Master Ciel, please come in."

Tara made room for Charles to enter the house. Before Tara could speak, Charles asked directly, "Have all your confidants arrived?"

As expected of the Mother Goddess...nothing can be hidden from Her.

"Yes, Lord Ciel, I have brought quite a few of my trusted followers with me."

Tara nodded.

"Have them kill Opold and Lucy and take back their Sealed Objects, the 'Evil Eye' and the 'Lucky Coin', now."

Charles opened his mouth and gave the order directly, and at this time Tara also noticed something wrong with Charles.

The human form of the Mother Goddess...drank the potion?

And it’s not “Avenger” or “Ascetic”???

Tara took a deep breath, suppressed her inner joy, and said, "Congratulations, Lord Charles, on regaining some of your power... Tara will go and arrange the task you have assigned."

Tara lowered her head, slowly walked around Charles's position, then rushed directly out the door and began to explain the mission objectives to her confidants and arrange the team.
