In this situation, I can't just rush to help, but I have to think of a way, I can't just do nothing...

Avina quickly picked up the lighting she had just thrown away and began to quickly observe Charles's surroundings.

Soon, she saw a corpse lying on the ground, dressed in luxurious clothes. The corpse was broken at the waist, with blood scattered all over the ground. The corpse itself was extremely dry, with muscles showing a purple color, and it was obvious that it had been dead for some time.

Wasn't this dress made by the tailor she recommended? She remembered that a few days ago, Charles had indeed used her family crest to pick up a female thief...

However, there was no longer any supernatural aura on the corpse.

Avina continued to search, not missing any details.

Soon, her eyes stopped on a notebook.

That's Ciel's notepad and pen.

She walked quickly over, bent down to pick up the notepad and pen, walked in front of Ciel, and quickly opened it.

There should be some useful things recorded in the notepad...

But when Avina fully unfolded the notebook, she was stunned.

Written on it were some Chinese characters that she couldn't understand at all. It was different from any foreign language she had ever learned... It was a language that looked quite ancient.

But from the beautiful handwriting, Avina could accurately identify that this was Charles's note - after all, she had been communicating with Charles in the past few days.

Avina put the notebook and pen aside, ignored the dust on the ground, knelt down in front of Charles, and reached out to hold her hands.

Wait... Ciel...

A glimmer of light flickered in Avina's dark purple pupils. Avina held her breath and focused all her attention on Charles' lifeless eyes.

……

What's this?

Charles looked at the silver-white light in front of him and fell into deep thought.

Have I come out from that world?

But where is this?

System space?

Silver-white frames continued to pop up in front of Charles' eyes.

These frames should have contained text displayed by the system for communicating with her, but now the silver frames were filled with characters that Charles was unfamiliar with.

She tried to turn her head, but found that these boxes were piled up everywhere. No matter where she looked, there were piles of system frameworks.

"Is it really a bug?"

Charles tried to speak, but heard no response - at this moment, she couldn't even open the system interface. This was the first time Charles encountered such a situation.

I don’t know how long this situation lasted, but the frames finally stopped increasing.

Slowly, the system interfaces stacked in front of Charles' eyes disappeared piece by piece. After a long time, Charles saw something other than the system interface.

In front of me is a field of tiny gears.

It floated in the entire silver-white space, swirling quietly.

Only then did Charles realize that those system frames did not disappear out of thin air, but were absorbed into the gear.

Only after all the frames were sucked in did the gear gradually stop rotating.

A new system interface appeared in front of Charles.

【Does it look good? 】

For some reason, Charles seemed to be able to sense the system's resentment from these words.

"You're malfunctioning?"

Ciel asked curiously.

【…】

【well……】

For some reason, the system sent a series of ellipsis marks and finally sent a sighing interjection.

"Why sigh?"

Just the thought of having to do these things again makes me feel sick.

"What did you do?"

[Help you seal up all the knowledge and will within "uniqueness"]

"If it's sealed... it's useless, right?"

[So do you want me to block them or just go crazy yourself? ]

[Haha, this can also give me a pun, pinned to the top^^]

After seeing the familiar system's annoying expression, Charles felt relieved.

It seems that there is no bug in the system and it is working fine.

[Next time you don’t have to swallow it, just put it in your pocket watch]

[Oh no! I can't hold on any longer! I can't help you block out the pollution anymore. ^^_]

As the last call interface of the system disappeared, the silver light in front of Charles' eyes quickly dissipated.

This is definitely intentional by the system——

This thought only flashed through Charles' mind before he quickly tensed up, preparing to deal with possible "pollution" or "murmurs".

But what Charles didn't expect was that the mental shock she imagined did not come.

After feeling the control of his body restored, Ciel slowly opened his eyes.

When she opened her eyes, she saw her right hand covered in flesh.

All the skin on the right hand from the palm to the arm had been torn apart. In some places, only the skin was connected to a little flesh and blood, and even the muscles themselves had begun to turn purple.

In the cracks between the skin and muscles, there were some tentacles wriggling, as if they were things that existed in his hands and had become one with his flesh and blood.

Looking forward along the direction of her palm, she saw another pair of white and tender hands, which were now tightly holding her own hands.

Continuing to look up, Avina, who was wearing glasses and kneeling in front of him, appeared in Charles's sight.

At this time, Avina was holding Charles' hands with her eyes closed. There was a hint of pain on her face, and her forehead was covered with fine sweat.

Is this Avina helping me take the responsibility?

This has a great impact on Avina's spirit... and Charles must know the extent of his own mental pollution without Avina's help.

"Avina..."

Charles spoke and called out to Avina.

At this moment, after hearing Charles' words, Avina suddenly opened her eyes. Her dark purple pupils were trembling slightly, as if she was still frightened by what she saw.

Charles slowly pulled his hands out of Avina's hands, but Avina seemed to exert some force, not wanting Charles' hands to leave.

However, Avina's strength is still too weak compared to Charles. Now that Charles' physical strength is enhanced by [Agility], it is not something that Avina, who is not in a combat mode, can contend with.

"It's okay now, Avina."

After Charles pulled his hands out, he looked at Avina, who was still a little frightened, and stretched out his left hand to slowly put his arm around her shoulders, hugging her together, and said, "It's over."

After leaving the influence of Avina's ability, Charles began to see some double images and hallucinations. The originally dark factory seemed to be shrouded in fog again.

The warm yellow light emitted by the liquid in the lamp tube dispelled some of the darkness, but in the darkness shrouded in a faint mist and beyond the reach of the light, something seemed to be whispering, tempting Charles to come closer.

"Xia...Xiaer...I...I saw it..."

Avina rested her chin on Charles' shoulder and spoke haltingly, "Why are you also..."

Avina's somewhat confused mind was obviously not yet completely settled. Charles did not say anything, but just gently stroked Avina's back with his left hand.

Under Charles' gentle touch, Avina's violently beating heart finally slowed down and her body stopped shaking.

At this time, Avina seemed to have realized that their current posture was a little ambiguous, but after hesitating for a moment, Avina slowly stretched out her hands and hugged Charles' back.

The liquid in the lamp tube gradually cooled down, and the light gradually dissipated. The two hugged each other in the dim factory, quietly feeling each other's body temperature.

Neither of them seemed to want to break the peace at the moment.

But after a while, when the darkness completely took over, the whispers in the darkness made Charles's brain begin to throb. She slowly said: "Avina...can you turn on the light?"

At this time, Avina slowly pushed Charles away in the darkness, walked to the light tube that had almost no light, picked up the finger-long glass rod, and placed it on Charles' forehead.

Soon, the liquid inside melted again, and as Avina shook it gently, the light dispelled the darkness again.

"finished?"

Avina opened her mouth and asked in a low voice.

"Yes, I have destroyed the cursed seal and it will remain in the 'other world' forever."

Ciel nodded and spoke.

Charles seemed to recall something and asked, "You said 'you too?'..."

Ciel said as he changed his position and sat against the wall while shaking the light stick.

Avina didn't care about the dirt on the ground and the dust on the wall, and sat next to Charles, their shoulders pressed tightly together.

"Nia's situation is very similar to yours."

Avina hugged her knees, with half of her face almost buried in them.

"The other world is polluted."

Is that world polluted?

Expected.

However, at this level, it basically won't have much impact on Ciel - but in the short term, she will definitely not be able to use [Spiritual Summoning] or enter the other world.

I must write this down in my notebook later.

She picked up the notebook and pen beside her with her left hand. When Charles raised her right hand, she saw her weird and terrifying right hand again, which looked like a deformed one.

Ciel wanted to ignore the existence of this right hand, but when she held the pen, the trembling of her right hand almost made it impossible for her to write.

After Charles put pen to paper, she found that she couldn't even recognize the words she wrote, as if all the fonts in her mind were mixed together.

Finally, she gave up writing. She took the notebook and pen in her left hand, handed them to Avina who was sitting on her left, and said, "Can you do me a favor?"

"Ok?"

Avina took the notebook with some doubts and asked, "These... I don't know how to write."

"It's okay, just write in Ansu language."

Charles said, "I say one sentence, and you write one sentence."

Just like that, Charles spoke and Avina wrote, recording everything that had just happened in the notebook - except for "uniqueness" and the system.

"Who is this for?"

Avina noticed that these strokes seemed to be written for other people, not for deepening memory.

"People from the organization."

Ciel answered.

That organization again...

Avina's grip on the pen tightened slightly.

Letting Charles destroy his spirit like this, no matter how secretive this organization is, it successfully aroused Avina's desire to investigate.

Avina will catch the person who issued the task to Charles and teach her a lesson.

"congratulations,"

Charles looked at Avina who was in a trance and asked, "Second level?"

"Ah."

Avina nodded.

"Is there any danger for you just now?"
