Several tragically dead bodies began to appear vaguely in the living room. Tara was about to turn around to remind Charles, but she saw Charles's face covered in blood...

The monster opposite was not actively constructing a dream, but everything she created in the dream was like an illusion, affecting Tara's mind.

"Gu..."

The terrifying melting monster raised its head, and its fused single eye with double pupils looked in the direction of Tara.

Strange blue-purple flames burned in the connected pupils. Tara just stood there in a daze, her expression gradually becoming dull, as if she was dragged into some environment.

Fortunately, at this time, the white shadow sent to the door for help came into play.

A large number of black and white afterimages poured into the room from the gaps on all sides, and tied up the monster with sickle chains burning with black and white shadow flames in their hands.

Its shadow was quickly torn apart, and horrific wounds that were difficult to heal appeared on its body. A large amount of dark purple and sticky blood spurted out of its wounds like mud.

And Charles, who was sitting opposite, looked at the death of the monster in front of him thoughtfully.

She just wanted to peek into her own memories, but her spirit collapsed and was attacked by the potion?

I didn't even do anything... Should this be considered a passive defense?

What did she see?

In any case, I have some mental protection now, so I don't have to worry about the situation like before where the feather pen invaded my body in the simulation happening again.

But this is not a perfect defense.

Because the opponent is only level 2, even if it is attacked by the potion, it will only become a runaway level 2 monster.

What if the one who wants to invade your mind is a Level 3 or higher transcendent?

A level 4 being was swallowed by the potion in front of him... Not to mention himself, even if all the people in the entire city of Burren were tied together, they would not be able to withstand that crazy extraordinary person.

Under Charles's command, the cultists who came to help began to search the clothes and other relics left by the monster to see if there were any valuable clues.

And Charles' attention finally shifted from the monster to Tara.

From the beginning, Tara almost remained standing without moving at all, as if she was affected by the monster just now.

"Tara? Tara?"

It was not until Charles called out twice that Tara slowly came back to her senses. She seemed to realize that she had stopped breathing. She looked up at Charles and began to breathe slightly.

"Were you dragged into the dream? What did you see?"

Ciel inquired.

The monster's ability just now did not directly affect Charles, so she didn't know what Tara had encountered.

After Tara recovered a little, Charles gradually understood what she had seen through her description.

It was the scene in her dream just now, but it was very chaotic, and even contained some figures and objects that Tara had never seen before.

Those people and things that had never been seen before might be things that the "dream thief" had once created. Charles asked Tara to rest for a while, and then described everything she had just seen in the form of words.

At the same time, Charles himself took out a piece of white paper and drew a simple sketch of the "dream stealer" just now to strengthen the impression and ensure that he could recognize her at a glance when he saw her in real life.

After all, the appearance of the monster just now made Charles' impression of the "dream stealer" a little blurred. Whenever he thought about it, the figure in his mind would gradually distort into the appearance of a monster.

After about half an hour, Tara finally completely emerged from the illusion. Those non-existent things no longer appeared in her sight. Only then did she begin to paint what she saw in her dream.

Around the same time, another group of cultists arrived at Charles's house, carrying a familiar-looking sack—something Charles had dragged past before; it was a bag used to wrap corpses.

The news they brought surprised Charles a little.

At the address revealed by the driver, there was no one from the pleasure club, but an ordinary person.

When the ordinary man saw that the person knocking on the door was not someone he knew, he swallowed the poison and died in the room on the second floor.

This made Charles feel extremely puzzled.

Because, judging from the behavior of the girl named "Leticia" just now, there must be people from the Pleasure Society at the destination she was going to, but why did the bishops of the Holy Advent Sect go there and find nothing?

Moreover, he also has a lot of luck, so logically speaking...

wrong.

Did Qiangyun think that if he really got into the lair over there, he would be in danger, so with Qiangyun's intervention, he made the other party aware of it and ended up empty-handed?

To test this possibility, Charles and Tara played a few simple poker games together, and the results were three wins and two losses, which was mediocre.

There was one time when Tara was sure to win, but she deliberately called an extra card and lost. Only after Charles reminded her did she stop deliberately giving up.

The effect of strong luck has disappeared...

This shows that it has withstood at least one disaster as terrible as a meteorite fall.

This made Charles suspect a possibility.

A car accident and encounter with "Leticia" may be a certain event, but whether or not to find the joy behind her is an option that is interfered with by strong luck.

If you turn it over twice in a row, you might find it directly, and then cause a disaster.

But this was just Ciel's inference.

The clue of "Leticia" was interrupted, making it difficult to continue the investigation. It is foreseeable that the Joy Society will still be active in the city of Burren in the future, and will include the Holy Advent Sect in their plan to disrupt the situation.

Unfortunately, Charles didn't have more time to follow up.

But at least this simulation was not completely fruitless.

A chessboard with the Joy Club as the player, the city of Buren as the chessboard, the Grain Import and Export Association, the workers of Buren, the Orlando Republican Army, the Church of the Savior and the top leaders of Ansu as chess pieces appeared in front of Charles.

Moreover, in the joy of playing chess, there is no other chess player playing against them, and they are completely invincible.

Because they are not driven by any interests.

Everyone on the chessboard is a victim, and the one that suffered the most is the Savior Goddess Church. Their foundation in Ansu has begun to crumble. If there is no major reversal in the future, it is almost certain that the Savior Goddess Church will be kicked out by the Ansu top management.

What would the Church of the Goddess of Savior do then? Would they abandon this parish and its believers, who had cultivated it for centuries? Would they simply leave, or would they resort to genuine rebellion?

I'm afraid the latter is the subversive situation that the Joy Society really wants to see.

Charles was not idle for the remaining ten hours.

Since she had nothing to lose, she simply increased the intensity of the Holy Coming Sect's actions.

Even Julis of the Church of the Savior Goddess was helping Charles, instigating the believers, nuns, and priests still in the city of Burren to begin searching for members of the Orlando Republican Army and the Pleasure Society, even including any nobles who might be involved.

The entire city of Burren seemed to have turned into a large witch-hunting ground. Even the army temporarily fell into the control of the Holy Advent Sect. They were clearing out every corner of the city, compiling a list of Republican Army members, reporting it up the chain of command, and handing it over to Charles.

Such a horrific action directly alarmed the capital Ansu. The Sword of the Queen has begun to gather troops to prepare to sweep the cultists in Burren City. Even the Holy Advent Sect has begun to send people to prepare to liquidate Tara.

But at least today, Charles is the absolute and final ruler and leader of the city of Burren.

A large amount of information was compiled into paper books and was constantly handed to Charles. She spent the remaining ten hours reading various information.

This was a completely unreasonable way of gathering information, but even so, they were unable to identify the members of the Pleasure Club. Charles was not surprised by this result.

The permanent population of Burren City used to be over 23, but during this period, it has experienced a significant expansion, with many new immigrants and refugees.

Charles' cult force consists of only more than ten people, and each of them can only be responsible for searching an area. However, the brainwashed cultists who are deployed to search are basically not extraordinary people.

Even if these people found the people from the pleasure party, they would most likely only be able to search in their dreams and get a result of "no abnormalities".

On the contrary, a lot of people from the Orlando Republican Army were found.

This went on until the end of the simulation time. A silver light flashed before Charles' eyes, and she appeared in a pure silver space.

The shark-toothed self stood opposite him, looking at him with a smile. From this second-person perspective, Charles realized that his smile was a little creepy after drinking the "Butcher" potion.

In this space, the effect of the potion on Ciel also disappeared, and she also realized how her personality would change under the influence of the "Butcher" potion.

Among all the potions, the "Butcher" potion is the most emotionally stable one so far except for the "Killer". I wonder if it is because it is so easy to digest and integrate.

Apart from the strange habit of turning people into food for people to taste, there are almost no shortcomings... Although this is already anti-human enough, it is actually not so bad in the simulation.

After saving the "Butcher" archive to No. 6, Charles left this silver space.

The silver in front of her eyes gradually faded away.

【Reality】

【圣741年7月2日00:11】

【Evaluation: Why is it positive? Why is it positive? Why is it positive? Why is it positive?】

[My title is ready, have you rolled heads for me?]

[By the way… Think about it, the reason you didn't directly resolve the joy party is because your imagination is too lacking. Perhaps you should try a save file with a more unusual circuit. ^^]

【Take it, it's what you deserve based on your performance. 】

[Reward: Destiny Points x 46, [Nemesis Lv. 2], [Omniscient Lv. 1]]

【Destiny Points: 199】

The system's comments, which were somewhat unwilling and sarcastic, appeared in front of Charles, but she did not pay much attention to them. Instead, she turned off the screen directly.

Compared to the cold and depressing underground cell he was in when he first entered the simulation, Charles, whose consciousness had just returned to reality, felt the warmth of the bed and the soft body in his arms.

Charles exerted a little force and hugged the person in his arms a little tighter.

In addition to the dizziness caused by leaving the simulation, Charles also felt a slight numbness in his right arm, as if it had been pressed for too long.

Opening his eyes slightly, Charles saw Avina facing him with her head resting on his arm.

Charles remembered that before he entered the simulation, Avina had her back to him... She thought he was asleep, so she quietly changed to a more intimate position?

I don't know how this awkward personality was developed.

Charles looked at Avina's peaceful sleeping face, but what came to his mind was the tragic scene of her being burned by the explosion and even losing a lot of muscle and skin.

Charles lowered his head slightly, and the tips of their noses gently touched each other. Feeling Avina's breath, she turned her face slightly and kissed her.

In the darkness, the soft touch of lips gradually calmed Charles' heart.

Fortunately, nothing has happened yet.

Even in the next simulation, Charles, who knew everything beforehand, would not let this happen again.

Charles's action seemed to wake up Avina, who had just fallen asleep, but she didn't seem to be fully awake yet.

"Charles..."

Avina shouted something in a daze.

But Avina, who had been dealing with things all day and had drunk a lot of wine at social events, did not open her eyes. She just put her right leg on Charles' waist, leaned forward a little, and got a little closer before she continued to sleep peacefully.

Originally, Charles had planned to get up and carefully review what happened during the simulation and the information recorded in his mind with his "photographic memory", but now it seems that if he gets up again, he will definitely wake up Avina.

Under the moonlight, Charles saw that Avina's eyes were slightly red and swollen from crying, and Avina's brows were slightly wrinkled, as if she had dreamed of something bad.

She raised her left hand and gently rubbed Avina's hair. After Avina's brows slowly relaxed, Charles closed his eyes.

"system."

Charles muttered to himself.

In the system calculation just now, in addition to the upgrade of Ciel's existing skill [Nemesis] to Level 2, it seems that he has gained a new ability [Omniscient]

Ciel needs to see the detailed description of the upgraded [Nemesis] and the new skill [Omniscient].

Nemesis Lv. 2: Passive ability. Those who fear you or are killed by you in the simulation will become slightly afraid of you in real life. The more times you are killed, the deeper the fear they feel.

[Omniscient Lv. 1: Passive ability. If someone constructs a creature pointing at you, you will be aware of its existence, consuming mental energy to temporarily control the creature.]

After the Nemesis is upgraded, it can be triggered without killing anyone... Is this a small improvement?

As for the omniscient one behind, it gave Charles a sense of déjà vu.

After upgrading, will it evolve into a situation where as long as you call your name, your existence and location will be known to you?

Isn’t this just like the ancient god in the legend?

If this ability existed in the simulation just now, then the "dream stealer" could construct his own image in the dream, and as long as it was pointing at himself, he would be able to detect it?

Moreover, he could actually consume his mental energy and directly take over the creation remotely...

Charles realized that this was definitely an incredible skill, at least in terms of status, it far surpassed most of the skills he had acquired, and was comparable to a psychic - except that it had no combat power.

What did you do to acquire this skill?

Killed two level 3s?

No, I have killed before.
