With Avina's introduction, Charles met the old lady who looked a bit mean very smoothly.

However, after seeing Charles' design drawings and some of his ideas for the clothes, the originally indifferent old lady became interested. She discussed various details of the clothes with Charles and began to draw the design drawings by hand.

Since Charles had seen the original version of the clothes, he could give a general idea of ​​the details. Coupled with the old lady's strong professional ability, a rough outline appeared after about an hour and a half.

The old lady seemed to have never seen such a design before. According to her, the design aesthetic was very retro, but the use of accessories was very bold, especially the red and gold color scheme, which gave people a luxurious feeling.

The old lady was very happy to help Charles make the dress, but after hearing the production cycle, Charles frowned slightly.

This dress is very complicated, and all the accessories on it have to be customized. The corresponding craftsmen have to be contacted. It may take several months at the latest, and at the fastest three weeks, for the dress to be completely completed.

Three weeks is... too long.

Unless you spend destiny points to conduct a simulation lasting more than a month, and then exchange it for destiny points from reality.

100 destiny points just to buy a piece of clothing... Even Ciel felt that it was a bit too much to bear.

Thinking that he probably wouldn't have any use for the money later, Charles took out the Soviet pounds he got from Avina and placed the six hundred Soviet pounds note directly in front of the old lady.

"Can it be done in 5 days?"

Charles looked at the old lady in front of him and said, "It doesn't need to be particularly detailed, as long as it's similar overall. If you need any help from any craftsmen, I can contact Miss Avina to help you find one."

It turns out that the power of money is very strong.

After Charles took out 600 Soviet pounds, the old lady's eyes widened. She nodded in agreement without even having time to think about it.

I guess what she saw was no longer a pile of cash, but a middle-class townhouse in Ansu.

Charles left 200 Soviet pounds as a deposit, left his address, and left the tailor's house.

Charles didn't think it was a waste of money. After all, she could exchange the clothes directly in real life - in real life, she definitely couldn't wait five days for the old tailor to make the clothes.

"Safe time" has been found, and the clothes and the body that can be sewn are in place. Now all Charles has to do is help Avina digest the "Psychologist" potion while waiting for the clothes to be made.

I glanced at the time and it was already twelve o'clock noon, which was exactly lunch time.

Charles stopped a carriage and directly reported the address of Avina's house. Then he began to write down everything that happened today in Chinese in the car so that he could check it when he arrived in real life.

After she wrote down everything, the carriage stopped at the gate of Avina's manor.

Charles paid the fare and got off the car. When the guard saw Charles, he opened the door of the manor without even notifying anyone. A maid came forward and led Charles inside.

Most of the servants in the manor had met Charles, and the butler had also told them that there was no need to inform Miss Charles when she came, and they could just take her directly to see the eldest lady.

At this time, Avina was eating lunch. She didn't seem to expect that Charles would come to her at this time. She was a little surprised when she saw Charles.

Adele, who was sitting on the other side of Avina, was still showing off her steak with her head down, and didn't seem to notice Charles standing at the door.

"Would you like to have some?"

Avina pointed to the chair next to her and said, "It just so happens that I'm not very hungry. I wanted to ask Adele to come over at noon today to discuss something about you."

Avina did not ask the maids to bring an extra set of tableware, but instead pushed her unused tableware to Charles because she knew that Charles would not mind such little things.

"Where's Nia?"

Charles sat down next to Avina and asked casually.

At this time, Adele noticed that Charles was sitting across from her. Her face flushed red as she swallowed everything in her mouth. Then she wiped her mouth with a napkin and said, "Charles? Why are you here? Are you feeling better?"

Charles, who had not eaten breakfast or lunch, picked up Avina's fork and started eating the food on Avina's plate without any hesitation.

"She's gone to check the security of the venue where the dinner will be held today. She'll be back later."

Avina adjusted her glasses and asked curiously, "Do you need her help?"

"No, tell her not to meet me directly when she comes back."

Ciel said bluntly, "I'm cursed. Whenever I encounter a transcendent, I'll encounter bad luck. The higher the level of the transcendent I encounter, the greater the intensity of the bad luck."

Avina looked a little confused when she heard this.

Curse...curse?

I don't think there's any extraordinary way to have such ability...

"It's not a transcendent, it's a sealed object."

As if he saw the confusion in Avina's eyes, Charles began to explain.

"Oh……"

Avina nodded. If it was a sealed object, it would be understandable.

Is this the reason why Charles left the manor before?

"Isn't the matter resolved yet?"

Avina asked.

At the same time, Adele, who was concerned about Charles' physical condition but ignored him, silently observed that Charles's complexion seemed to have improved a little, then continued to lower her head and began to gnaw on the steak, as if she didn't care at all that she was being ignored.

"Not yet, just a little bit."

Charles put down his knife and fork and wiped his mouth with his napkin.

At this moment, Charles, who was preoccupied with completing the task, remembered that she seemed to have forgotten to reply to Adele. She looked in Adele's direction and said, "Adele, thank you for your concern. I feel much better."

"what?"

Adele looked up in Charles' direction with a confused look on her face, as if she had suddenly forgotten what she had just asked.

After confirming that Charles' condition did not deteriorate further, Adele turned around and forgot about what had just happened, continuing to indulge in the food.

"It's okay, keep eating."

Charles looked at Adele silently, then turned his head and looked in the direction of Avina, only to find that Avina was wiping her mouth with a napkin.

I don’t know if she was trying to hide her smirk.

"Is there anything I can help you with?"

Avina put down her napkin and asked.

She knew that Charles would not come to her for no reason, and judging from his expression, he did not seem to be here to play with her.

"I do have something to trouble you with."

Charles did not hide anything. There was no need for so many twists and turns in the simulation. He just needed to say everything out loud. Efficiency was paramount.

"I can help you find the second-level transcendent who has been brainwashed by the cultists and help you complete the 'Psychologist's' reappearance ritual."

Charles looked into Avina's eyes and said, "If one is not enough, two or three will do."

Brainwashed cultists?

In the current city of Burren, all the members of the Holy Advent sect have died. Where can we find brainwashed cultists? Or even second-level ones?

The cultists were hiding very deeply, but what Charles said was as if the cultists were weeds that could be seen everywhere on the roadside and a few could be pulled out at will.

"Do you need a 'psychiatrist' you can trust?"

Avina asked.

She certainly didn't need anyone else's help in performing the re-creation ritual. Even if she couldn't find the out-of-control cultists or extraordinary people for the time being, Avina had enough time to wait.

After all, she wasn't currently at any risk of being swallowed by the potion.

If Charles was eager for her promotion, the only explanation was that Charles needed a trustworthy "psychologist", and that person was herself.

Ciel needs me.

"Yes."

Ciel didn't beat around the bush and nodded directly, "I need a trustworthy 'psychiatrist' to treat me."

"Treat you?"

Avina thought of what the maid had said before, that Adele had gone to Charles's house overnight with a medicine box, and asked curiously, "Are you facing the problem of mental pollution now?"

"Yes."

Ciel nodded.

"It might be too dangerous for the Listener to heal me."

"Would 'The Listener' be too dangerous?"

Avina nodded.

That at least proves that the mental pollution that Charles needs treatment for may not be that serious.

It's at least level two, no, it's level two or above potion contamination.

"can."

Avina nodded and said, "I'll try."

Avina herself wants to perform the "psychologist" reappearance ceremony, but she can't find the subject of the ceremony. If the organization behind Charles can provide it, Avina will be happy to accept it.

And Avina also benefited greatly from Charles' trust.

After agreeing with Avina to bring the person over before June 6, Charles left Avina's manor before Nia returned, saying that the curse was still in effect.

After Charles left, Avina kept Adele, who had eaten a meal for free, and asked her to work with her to research a new potion that would be more gentle on the mind, hoping to relieve some of Charles' mental stress.

After all, tranquilizers are addictive, so it is better not to use them if you can avoid it.

Before leaving, Avina handed Charles a Russell family crest, which was an emblem that all direct family members had. In addition to being able to withdraw a certain amount of Soviet pounds from the bank, this emblem could also be used to mobilize the police force.

It is not known whether this is Avina's own emblem. It may be because she trusts Charles, or it may be because she does not take the family seriously at all.

After Charles left the manor, he stopped a carriage and used a notebook to write down all the conversations that took place today, so that he could refer to them when he returned in reality.

All the preliminary preparations have been made... Now it's up to you.

Tara is expected to find Amy on the 26th. For this reason, Charles went to Amy's house in advance and gave her a heads-up, telling her not to panic about Tara's arrival. He also left his address and asked Amy to come find him according to the address after seeing Tara.

When Charles finished all this, it was already half past one in the afternoon.

After she simply recorded the matter in her notebook, she took the badge handed to her by Avina and rushed towards the police station.

Because the corpse needed to be "reshaped", she had to get the corpse in advance to give herself enough time to modify it.

There were some minor incidents along the way - the horse in the carriage she was riding in was suddenly frightened and ran away, overturning on the road, and the entire wooden carriage was shattered into pieces.

Charles used his "prophetic vision" to jump out of the window in advance to avoid the risk, with only some scratches on his palm.

She knew that this was probably related to her bad luck, so she handed the coachman 20 pounds and no longer paid attention to these trivial matters. She got on a new carriage and used Avina's family emblem to take the female thief who broke into the house and robbed her out of the police station's detention room.

She asked two detectives to take the female thief back to her home, tied her up in the living room, and then gave each of the two detectives 5 pounds to send them away.

Charles had no intention of hiding anything. Instead, she wanted to know if there would be any unexpected consequences if others saw these things.

Only by discovering accidents in advance can they be better investigated. After all, she can't guarantee that no one will see it all, so she can only try to avoid it.

"What is Miss Ciel doing?"

"I don't know... that... isn't that the robber from that night?"

"How did she get into the house?"

"Do you want to go check it out? It seems dangerous..."

The two maids who lived across from Charles naturally saw this and began to discuss whether or not to intervene.

Finally, for the eldest lady's mission and Miss Charles' safety, the maid who subdued the female thief last night decided to go to Charles's house, while the other maid prepared to return to Avina's manor to report.

The maid walked to Charles's door and knocked on it.

After a while, the door was slowly opened.

A girl with dark purple pupils and long black hair that gradually turned into a bright blue from the middle, with a pale face and decadent dark circles under her eyes, leaned against the door frame, looked at the maid at the door, and said weakly:

"What's wrong with you?"

The maid looked at the dark red blood still dripping from the girl's gloves, and her legs couldn't help but tremble.

"Miss...Xiaer?"

The maid spoke tentatively. She felt her teeth chattering, and the smell of blood wafting from the living room made her scalp tingle.

"Um……"

Ciel placed his hand on the door and spoke slowly, "Send the meal to my door later... I'm too lazy to make it myself."
