Miss Witch's Speed ​​Run Manual

Charles would not completely believe the one-sided words of someone he had never met. At least now there was one person whose words were more credible in Charles' mind, and that was Julis.

"Archpriest Julis? I know her." The silver-haired girl was stunned for a moment, then said, "Uh...she's currently temporarily managing the Bell Tower Church."

"Do you know where she is?"

"Yes, she is not far from the Clocktower Alley area."

"Take me to her."

"no problem."

Seeing that Charles had finally given up his murderous intent, the silver-haired girl breathed a sigh of relief.

She had no idea how this 'Avenger' had suddenly appeared in the tightly sealed Clock Tower Alley area, but the fact that this 'Avenger' wanted to meet Julis was a good thing for her.

The Inquisition of the Savior Goddess Church is notoriously rebellious, and she doesn't want to get involved in its affairs. She just wants to trace the source of the infectious disease here.

Charles loosened the blockade of the black shadow a little, letting the silver-haired girl lead the way, while Charles followed from a distance behind, very cautiously.

After all, a simulation also requires 10 fate points, and she doesn't want to die inexplicably without obtaining any information.

There was one thing she couldn't figure out. Why did such a big thing happen in Bell Tower Alley, but Julis, the temporary manager of the Bell Tower Church, was not in Bell Tower Alley? What was the reason?

The silver-haired girl didn't seem to put up much resistance. Perhaps the "Art of Conversation" had some effect, but she was simply leading the way.

Charles knew every street in the Clocktower Alley area by heart, and he wasn't worried that the other party would lead him the wrong way.

Soon, they arrived at a checkpoint away from the Clock Tower Alley area. She walked up and talked to the soldiers for a few words, showing the emblem on her chest. Then, she turned around and waved to Charles.

In this way, under her leadership, Charles successfully passed through the Clock Tower Alley area. No one in the army was surprised because they could not see the dark shadow lying behind the silver-haired girl.

The outskirts of the Clock Tower Alley area seemed to have been cleared for a distance, with military tents all along the way. It was not until they were about to reach the next intersection that some people gradually began to appear.

Charles discovered that the further she moved away from Clocktower Alley, the weaker the humming in her ears became, until only a faint whisper remained.

Charles also saw a reporter wearing a gauze mask and holding a copybook approach the silver-haired girl, seemingly asking something, but the silver-haired girl said something unknown, and the reporter was so scared that he jumped back and ran away quickly.

Soon, the silver-haired girl stopped in front of a hotel. There was no owner at the front desk of the hotel. There was only a sign saying "No Rooms Today" hanging at the door. She turned around and looked at Charles who was not far away.

"Right here, 202." The silver-haired girl shouted in Ciel's direction, "The Savior Cult has booked this hotel."

"Go up and ask her to come down," Charles replied, "and tell her that Du Wen is here."

"Du Wen is here... How can he be so handsome but have such an ugly name..." The silver-haired girl muttered as she walked into the hotel.

Charles slowly retreated to the alley behind him, staring at the entrance and upstairs of the hotel. As long as the silver-haired girl was in the hotel, she would basically not be able to walk out of the extended range of the shadow.

After about a minute, Charles suddenly felt a sharp pain all over her body. The black shadow was retracted to her side at an extremely fast speed, bringing with it a white light.

A tall white shadow was grabbing the collar of Charles's black shadow and silently staring in Charles' direction.

There was a faint stream of light emanating from its body, floating on its back, like a pair of drooping wings of light.

Then, the white shadow waved in the direction of Charles and loosened the collar of the black shadow Charles.

The moment he loosened the shadow's collar, the tingling all over Charles' body disappeared, and the shadow, as if frightened, dived directly into the shadow behind Charles.

Is this Julis's shadow...?

Ciel knew that Julis's ability to make objects float was probably similar to her own black shadow, but this was the first time she had actually seen Julis's white shadow. At this point, Ciel was half sure that the silver-haired girl was not lying and that it was indeed Julis.

When Charles was brought to Room 202 by Baiying, Baiying pushed open the door and Charles saw the scene inside.

Julis, dressed in luxurious robes, was sitting on the sofa in the center of the room, with a mask hanging above her forehead, revealing her tightly closed eyes and long silver-white hair.

The silver-haired girl from before was now sitting on the ground, hugging Julis's thigh.

"Sister! It's her!" Seeing Charles standing at the door, the silver-haired girl stretched out her hand and pointed in Charles' direction, then quickly stood up and hid behind Julis.

So they're sisters? No wonder they both have long silver hair.

But why are sisters not in the same organization?

Charles noticed a hint of doubt on Julis's face, and he knew that she had to prove her identity.

Ciel politely closed the door and walked straight towards Julis. He took out two notebooks from his bag with his left hand and handed them to the silver-haired girl behind Julis. At the same time, he took Julis's hand with his right hand and put it against his face.

"Read it out." Ciel said to the silver-haired girl behind Julis in an almost commanding tone.

Hiding behind Julis, the silver-haired girl seemed to have grown bolder, no longer as timid as she had been before. She suddenly reached out to take the notebook, then shrank back, saying viciously, "Read it if you want!"

Julis looked a little confused at first, but as the silver-haired girl read out the notes bit by bit, her expression began to become serious.

After the silver-haired girl finished reading the notes, Ciel spoke first: "I killed Thomas. I found this on him. Thomas is my enemy. I drank the 'Avenger' potion."

Ciel's rapid-fire speech caused Julis, who was about to ask a question, to pause, and it took a long time for her to close her mouth.

Ciel was like a player who kept skipping the plot in the second round, explaining everything in just a few words.

"Is there anything else you want to ask?" Charles asked Julis.

"Yes." Julis nodded. "Why did you grab my hand and put it on your face?"

Charles: “?”

"Don't you have to touch others to sense their emotions and the truthfulness of their words?" asked Charles.

“No need?” Julis shook her head in confusion. “Just get closer.”

Then why did you pinch my face for so long before! ?

Realizing he was being tricked, Ciel released Julis's hand.

"Thank you, sir. You've solved an embarrassing problem for the Savior Cult, and I've also completed the mission I was supposed to complete." Julis stood up, her expression becoming serious. "Excuse me, what do you need? I'll give you a reasonable reward."

"I want to know," Ciel said, "what exactly happened in Clocktower Alley? Is the dehydration caused by some supernatural power?"

"Also, what's going on with the collaboration between the Goddess Cult and the Redemption Society?"

Chapter 39: The Messenger of Plague and the Source of Cholera (Part 3)

"Have you told her about the cooperation?" A white shadow spread out from behind Julis and stood beside the silver-haired woman.

"She was choking me...Ah! I was wrong, sister!"

Bai Ying's fist hit the silver-haired girl's head and spun violently a few times, causing the silver-haired girl to scream in pain.

After a while, Bai Ying finally put away his fist. Julis sat back on the sofa and said to Charles, "Sit down and talk."

She could feel that the girl in front of her had no ill intentions, and what she wanted to know was all related to this unknown epidemic.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Julis, the high priestess of the Savior Goddess Church. May I know your name, please?" Julis asked in the direction of Charles.

"My name is Charles, an assistant in the Investigation Department of the Burren City Police Department. But I am not here on behalf of the Investigation Department this time. I am here just for myself." Charles also introduced himself again.

"Ciel... nice name." Julis said, while recalling in her mind whether she had heard this name before, but no matter how hard she thought, she had no impression of this name.

But this girl named Ciel knows herself a little too well.

She had only recently become a transcendent, and her ability to use her abilities was a complete mess, but she knew her name, and even some of her habits and little mischiefs...

It was as if I had met him before.

"Have we met before?" Julis couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Yes, in my dream," Charles replied directly. "You even said in my dream that I was some saint from another path, and you dragged me to the Vatican."

"Miss Charles, you're joking." Julis smiled and shook her head, but she was secretly frightened in her heart.

She...didn't lie?

Did she really have such a dream?

"Now, could High Priest Julis please answer my question?" Charles asked. She didn't have much time to waste in the simulation.

"Okay." Julis nodded.

The "Avenger" in front of her was so concerned about this large-scale dehydration disease of unknown cause. Julis guessed that she probably had friends or family members who died from the disease, and she was ready to seek revenge.

It fits in with the Avengers' code of conduct.

Julis pondered her words for a moment before speaking:

"At first... no one was aware of this. Twenty days ago, the mission hospital admitted a dehydrated patient, but they couldn't save him. The cause of death was acute renal failure."

"By the time I arrived at the Bell Tower Church, five people had died in the church hospital. Most of them died from complications caused by dehydration...such as epilepsy, kidney failure, and shock. The hospital still didn't realize there was anything unusual."

"When four people in the church died of dehydration at once fifteen days ago, they reported the incident to me, and I contacted the church to send someone to investigate."

"But soon, investigating this matter was like opening the devil's sack. Dehydration began to spread rapidly. The high priest sent to investigate was forced to terminate the investigation, report to the Vatican, and request external assistance..."

Hearing this, Ciel interrupted and asked the question that had been on his mind for a while: "Why was the investigation terminated? Aren't you the temporary administrator of the Clocktower Church? You are not in the Clocktower Alley area?"

Hearing this, Julis shook her head, with a hint of helplessness between her brows.

"Ms. Charles, are you from the Clocktower Alley area? Do you have any special feelings about the Clocktower Alley area?" Julis asked Charles.

A special feeling?

Charles thought about it and realized that there was indeed such a point.

When she was at home, she felt a strong tinnitus in her ears, and her spirit became even more excited.

This feeling gradually subsided only after we left the Clock Tower Lane area.

"Yes, I have tinnitus and inexplicable excitement." Charles answered truthfully.

"This is a side effect of the potion." Julis sighed and continued, "First-level Ascetics and Avengers are fine; they're not very sensitive to pain."

"But the further we go up the path, the stronger our perception of pain becomes. The current Clock Tower Alley area is a place where all the pain converges. As long as I'm there, I can feel the pain of almost everyone. If I don't leave soon, I'll be tormented by this pain and lose my mind."

"On the contrary, when encountering pain, the Avengers will enjoy it more and are more likely to lose their minds. As long as they can't resist the whispers in their ears, the Avengers will become butchers under the catalyst of endless pain."

Is this the reason for my tinnitus?

"This disease... was caused by a supernatural being?" Charles asked.

"It's very likely." Julis nodded. "We suspect this is a carefully planned re-enactment ritual, specifically chosen to take place in the Savior Goddess Church's parish, preventing us from intervening... We can only ask the Redemption Society to investigate."

The silver-haired girl behind Julis poked her head out and interrupted, "This is most likely a ritual for the 'Epidemic Bringer' to ascend to the 'Source of Cholera'! Many people are going to die!"

Plague bringer? Promoted to the source of cholera?

What level is this? Then again, how many levels are there for transcendents?

These completely touched upon Charles's blind spots in knowledge. She hadn't had time to ask Avina about this aspect, as the questions she had asked before were all closely related to her own life safety.

Perhaps sensing Ciel's doubts, Julis asked directly, "Miss Ciel, you drank the potion and performed the ritual yourself, right? Your understanding of the transcendental comes only from these two notebooks?"

"Almost." Charles nodded.

"There are five levels below the Transcendent. The ceremony Adele mentioned is the ceremony for the second level to be promoted to the third level." Julis explained.

"Level 2... How powerful is it?" Charles had no idea about the hierarchy of supernatural powers. She only knew that after her promotion, no matter how powerful an ordinary person was, they would not be her opponent in hand-to-hand combat, but she could still die at the gunpoint.

Adele didn't miss any opportunity to taunt Charles: "That's enough to beat ten of you!"

"When both sides are fully prepared, there is really no chance of victory for a Level 1 versus a Level 2." Julis admitted what Adele said, but she used a more euphemistic way of saying it.

"I've told you everything you want to know, Miss Ciel... By the way, are you interested in the Savior Cult? I can baptize you." Julis looked in Ciel's direction, her expression softening.

"No, I'm not interested for now." Charles shook his head.

She was now filled with worry.

The other party is a second-level extraordinary person who is about to advance to the third level... He is just a newbie who has just reached the first level. Charles did not expect the gap to be so big.

Not to mention if the opponent succeeds in the promotion, even if he fails, there is no way Charles can defeat him.

"Have you found the person who held the resurrection ceremony?" Charles asked.

"No, he hid it very well." Julis shook his head.

"Thank you." Charles stood up and thanked him, then put on his canvas bag and prepared to leave.

"Where are you going?" Julis asked curiously.

Ciel didn't turn around, just waved. "Clock Tower Alley."

"Hey! You're going to die!" Adele couldn't help but remind her.

But Charles didn't look back, and it seemed as if he had already put life and death aside.

When Charles' figure disappeared at the door and the door was closed, Adele reached out and shook Julis's shoulder: "Sister, why don't you persuade her?"

"That's how the Avengers are," Julis shook her head. "They can't be persuaded."
