"I do feel a little uncomfortable... cough cough..."

With her back to Charles, Avina coughed twice in a pretentious manner and walked quickly towards the locker room.

A full ten minutes passed before Avina came out of the locker room.

At this time, her face had returned to its expressionless look, and she had changed back into a simple dress.

If it weren't for the slight redness on his eyelids, Charles would have thought nothing had happened.

They tacitly agreed not to mention what had just happened. After each of them took turns washing up, Avina, whose emotions had been fluctuating greatly, lay down on the bed sleepily.

Charles held Avina in his arms. At this moment, Avina, who had been tense for almost the whole day, finally relaxed completely. She hugged Charles tightly as if in revenge, buried her head in his arms, and slowly fell asleep.

I was wondering why Avina in the simulation slept for so long... Turns out she was running around all day and made herself cry again...

Moreover, the simulated self asked Avina to organize the banquet for the next day, and Avina did it without complaint, even though she was obviously exhausted.

Charles gently rubbed Avina's hair, thinking helplessly, and slowly, Charles closed his eyes.

At this moment, she also really needs rest.

……

The next day, at six in the morning, Charles woke up from his sleep.

This sleep was enough for her and she felt much more refreshed.

In the simulation, he got up with a loud movement and woke up Avina. At this time, Charles gently untied Avina's hands that were holding him, but still accidentally woke her up.

"Ciel...?"

Avina narrowed her eyes slightly, her dark purple pupils were sleepy, and she murmured Charles' name.

"It's not even dawn yet... go back to sleep."

Charles reached out and gently rubbed Avina's head until she closed her eyes and fell asleep again. Then Charles got up and went to the locker room to change into a new set of clothes.

After Charles ordered breakfast, he went to the study to continue reading. It was not until half past eight that Avina woke up. After breakfast, she came to the study to find Charles.

Today, Avina still has to try to negotiate the demolition of the gem mine. At the same time, she has also arranged to help Charles get the list. It is estimated that it will not be long before the list is handed to Charles.

But this time, before Avina went to negotiate, Charles asked her the name of the head of the Great Western Railway Company and the names of the nobles who were negotiating with her.

Charles really had no grudge against them, but they had wronged Avina.

She just remembered their names, that's all.

After all, Charles is not someone who holds grudges.

Almost nothing happened on the 3rd, except that Adele sent someone to deliver some information, and Avina's negotiations failed again.

This time, Avina no longer planned to return to the mining area. Instead, she turned her goal to make them pay the compensation as soon as possible, but this road was still full of difficulties.

The railway construction has not yet started, so it is not easy to snatch a piece of meat from the mouths of those parliamentarians and ministers.

As for the information about the list, there is no progress yet. I heard from Avina that the earliest it will be available is the 4th, and Charles can wait.

Another morning, on July 7th, when the Shire simulation was about to refresh, Shire finally got the list.

On the list, she saw the Keyman's real-life identity and name, as well as the disguised identities of several other Chaos Squadron members.

In addition to these people, Charles also saw an old acquaintance who was somewhat unexpected.

"Lucy Silfa..."

Ciel looked at the name on the list and nodded slightly.

Why is she here too?

Such a coincidence?

At this time, Charles was not in a hurry to simulate, but was thinking again about how to kill the key man.

Gradually, a plan came into Charles' mind.

To kill the key man, Lucy can be used - after so many contacts, Charles understands that Lucy is a very "independent" and "gambling" person. As long as she sees the benefits, she will never report it to the company, but try to take it for herself.

And Chaos Squadron's approach...

These people are all members of the Joy Society, and they have no problem digesting the potions. If they were wiped out today, it would definitely arouse the suspicion of the Joy Society.

To deal with them, perhaps we can use the power of "Subverter"...

Without prior preparation, using "disruptors" to let those people feel the power of the unknown may not be effective.

But if you can disguise chaos as normality... no one will notice.

Charles wanted to make the Key Man go crazy right under their noses without them noticing.

Then, you can be the key person and make them believe that everything is going in an orderly manner.

This way, Charles wouldn't have to rush to kill them all in one day.

Although he didn't want to, Charles knew that he had to use the power of "Subverter".

Now, everything is ready.

Just waiting to see if the next refreshed simulation can be locked after July 7, or even on July 7 itself.

So that Ciel can know in advance whether his plan will succeed...

Charles opened the simulation interface, watching the time on it decrease little by little, waiting for the final result.

PS1:

I ordered a set of Charles' Q-version emoticons, a total of 40. Although I really want to customize one that says "Stab you to death", it seems that they don't accept customization. I can only think about it next time.

170

Chapter 170: The Key Man’s Absolute Concealment.

The countdown ends and the new [Today] simulation time is refreshed.

Luck seemed to be on Charles' side this time.

【来日:3Day (圣741年7月7日12:07)(消耗10命定点)】

When this interface appeared in front of Charles, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Today is July 7th... arguably the most unlucky day that the Shire has ever had.

Just sixteen days ago, Ciel conducted a simulation of the future sixteen days from now—that is, today.

At that time, Ciel experienced an unprecedented sense of oppression in the simulation, and it was also the first time that she felt a sense of despair and confusion - a severe outbreak of dehydration.

At that time, Charles did not have many trump cards, and he almost tried his best to find out the final truth. For this purpose, he detonated a siege powder barrel in the square in front of the Savior Goddess Church, killing the dense crowd.

But after so many days, the future has been completely changed by Charles, and the problem of "uniqueness" has once again disturbed the future world line, causing a crisis that has never occurred before.

That is the joyful party that is brought alive by "uniqueness".

Charles felt that it was a miracle that he could hold on until now.

However, the current Ciel is very different from the Ciel sixteen days ago. The most obvious difference is that she really has the ability to fight against crises, and she has become more and more proficient in the use of future simulations.

It was just that Charles was a little distressed because his mind had been in a state of overwork and tension for too long, and there was also the issue of spiritual pollution.

Ciel did not take out the "Endless Manual of Forgetting Everything You See" from the warehouse, but simply placed a blank notebook in front of him.

She wrote the word "Hello" in Ansu and then stood the pen up.

Charles already knew all the future plans and things to do by heart, and the deliberate slowing down of her pace to rest helped her regain a lot of her spirits.

At this moment, she just needs to act.

The more times the Keyman dies in the simulation, the higher the success rate of Ciel's plan.

Before the dip pen in front of him fell, Charles spoke slowly in his heart.

"Today."

"No.1"

Silver light burst out in Charles' eyes, obscuring her entire vision.

……

【Coming to Japan】

【圣741年7月7日12:07】

[Countdown - 23:59:59]

"Charles, are you okay?"

"Ciel?"

"Hurry up, you'll be late..."

The silver light gradually faded from Charles's sight, and she quickly regained her awareness of her surroundings. The colors in front of her were telling her where she was at the moment.

This is... the dressing room in Avina's room.

At this moment, Charles looked at himself in the mirror. There seemed to be tentacles wriggling in the depths of his pink pupils in the mirror, and there seemed to be a few stars flowing in the depths of his pupils.

Did the simulated self use an excuse to get rid of Avina? Was he stuck when he was about to arrive?

Looking at the notebook not far away, Charles understood the situation almost instantly.

"Right away~"

Ciel said with a smile.

The "instigator" approach is still more convenient.

flutter--

Charles shook the maid outfit in front of him, took off his own clothes and put on the maid outfit, then raised his hand to pick up the notebook and quickly flipped through it.

Oh?

When he turned to the record of No. 5, Ciel's eyes showed some interest.

Did the simulated self actually contact Lucy directly without relying on any extraordinary save files?

He even got Lucy's help?

Ciel quickly reviewed what happened that day and understood how his simulated self had accomplished this.

She engages Lucy in a debate about gambling and gives her some fantastic ideas for improving the Deton Manor Casino.

One of them made Charles smile and shake his head.

Let people who owe huge amounts of usury go to the casino to play the death game so that the nobles and extraordinary people can gamble off the sidelines?

What Gambling Apocalypse, Squid Game.

People are gambling their lives inside the venue and money outside the venue...you can even throw some "gamblers" in to complete the reappearance ritual.

Lucy was astonished when she heard it. This was simply a gambling model tailor-made for the Deton Group, which was enough to increase the Deton Group's gradually slowing growth rate several times.

Lucy didn't think this would cause the Deton Group to lose money, even if someone really survived and won money.

She firmly believed in one thing - gambling is for winning. If one gambles just to repay high-interest loans with a fluke mentality, it means that the "gambler" has fallen into a bottomless abyss from which he cannot climb out.

This "law" applies to both extraordinary people and ordinary people.

Ciel closed the notebook and slightly restrained the smile on his face.

To be honest, if it really happened, she really wanted to disguise herself and go in to play - it would definitely be fun!

But now, there are important things to do.

The simulated self has paved the way for Ciel. Lucy agreed to help kill the Key Man, but the condition was that she wanted all the items on the Key Man, whether it was flesh and blood, extraordinary things, or extracted potions.

The news Lucy received was that there would be a "subversive" to assist her in completing the killing, and this news made Lucy very excited.

The "accident" she had been waiting for these days finally arrived.

Now, Lucy was even considering whether the gain she got from the "Key Man" would be the gain predicted by the Tarot cards.

As expected, Lucy was very cooperative and willing to eliminate the members of the Pleasure Club if there was a benefit. Moreover, Ciel had his [Nemesis] in hand, so Lucy maintained respect for her simulated self almost the entire time.

This is the second organized superhuman besides Tara that Charles has directly come into contact with in reality and exposed his abilities.

Although not as easy to control as Tara, it is not harder to kill than the Keyman, which is within the acceptable range for Charles.
