Miss Witch's Speed ​​Run Manual

Adele supported Yulis's shoulders and stood up. She pursed her lips, not knowing what she was thinking. She loosened her grip on Yulis's shoulders and chased after her: "This idiot, how did she get in without a pass?"

It wasn't until Adele closed the door and the footsteps disappeared into the corridor that Julis shook her head helplessly again.

"Alas... 'Doctor' is like this."

Chapter 40: The Safest Place (Part 4)

"Why are you following me?"

"What do you mean I should follow you? I don't have to go back to Clock Tower Lane? It's not like you bought this road, lelelele..."

Ciel ignored the girl making faces beside her and walked straight towards the Clock Tower Alley area, thinking of a countermeasure in her mind.

In terms of strength, she really can't beat more powerful extraordinary people.

But that doesn't mean she has to pick a fight with the other person.

After finding out the other party's hiding place, she can return to reality and report it to the church. Even if she only finds a solution to dehydration, she can return to reality and take her sister away from this dangerous city of Burren.

Charles felt that he was at odds with the city of Burren, and nothing good would happen as long as he stayed here.

The two walked for a while, and when they were about to reach the Clocktower Lane checkpoint, Adele suddenly asked, "Did your family die from dehydration?"

"No."

"friend?"

"No."

"'Friends of Life'?"

"No."

"Then why did you risk investigating?"

Adele's face was full of questions. She was not like Avina, who was very interested in other people's experiences. She just couldn't figure it out.

Seeing that Charles did not answer, Adele was not discouraged. After showing the emblem on her chest, she took Charles back into the Clock Tower Alley area. She seemed to have thought of something and changed the subject again.

"By the way, Charles, you have just become a transcendent. Can you write spiritual notes?" Adele asked curiously.

"Spiritual Notes?" This topic finally aroused Charles' interest.

She knew that Durr's research notes were spiritual notes, and the points required to exchange them were more expensive, and the system needed to remove the spiritual imprint on them.

But Charles really didn't understand why he had to write spiritual notes, or how to write spiritual notes.

"You don't have one? What about other spiritual anchors?" Adele seemed a little surprised.

"What anchor point?" Charles looked in the direction of Adele.

This was the first time she heard such words, and Avina had never told her about it. This was also the first time she heard someone talk about these things.

"Well... you can imagine that there is something that can remind you when you see it that you are you... I don't know if you can understand this?" Adele gestured exaggeratedly, "If not, you might start to doubt yourself under the influence of the potion's mumbling, and in serious cases, you might even be assimilated by the potion!"

Self-doubt...

Yes, Charles had indeed had this thought.

Whether in reality or in my simulation notes, I have experienced similar self-doubts, unable to distinguish between reality and simulation.

However, simulation is not a magic potion, so does it also require a spiritual anchor?

"Generally speaking, various churches and organizations are good at using spiritual notes. You should record something every day. This way, higher-level extraordinary people can occasionally check the notes to confirm the mental state of the note holder and intervene."

Adele thought for a moment and continued, "If no one helps you check your spiritual notes, those extraordinary people who haven't joined the organization will choose to create a unique object, feel the weight and touch the texture, and continuously form a kind of muscle memory, strengthen self-awareness, and stabilize their spirit."

"Of course, this must be something only you know, but it must also be replicable. If the spiritual anchor you hold onto for a long time is replaced by someone else and disappears, the risk of collapse will increase."

"If you have the time, I suggest you make one yourself."

Ciel nodded, she understood what Adele was describing, as she had indeed experienced this unstable situation herself.

The spiritual anchor point is equivalent to the spinning top in Inception, a means of strengthening self-awareness.

It seems that I really need to find a way to create my own spiritual anchor.

"Thank you, Adele." Charles thanked her sincerely, and his impression of Adele improved a little.

Although her personality is a little eccentric, her nature is good.

"You're welcome." Hearing Charles' praise, Adele reached into the black robe, pulled out a gauze mask, and said generously, "Here! You're welcome!"

Charles took the mask and put it on. After all, she still had to stay in Clocktower Alley for a while, so she had to be careful to prevent infection.

"Oh, I have a question." Charles looked at the Silver Crow mask hanging around Adele's neck and asked curiously, "This mask doesn't provide any protection. Why are you still wearing it? It's a hundred years old, right?"

Upon hearing this, Adele's originally cheerful face immediately fell. "Because the next path to advancement is called 'Plague Doctor'. Not only me, but everyone in the entire 'Physician' path has to wear it."

Wearing a mask under her face shield, it seemed that Adele was bored and started to complain to Charles.

The two of them quickly reached the North-South Stone Street. One street further ahead was where they had just met. A little further ahead from there was the Bell Tower Church.

"Wait for me here. I'll go to the church and get a badge for you, so that you won't be mistaken for an unknown supernatural being by other 'doctors'. I tried to test you before because you didn't have a badge." Adele gestured for Charles to wait there while she continued to move forward.

"Can't I go?" asked Charles.

"The church area is the safest. It's the resettlement area. All the patients are there. The other 'doctors' are also starting their investigation from the periphery..."

Adele's explanation made Charles understand. Seeing Charles stop there, Adele waved her hand and ran directly towards the Clock Tower Church.

Indeed, there were so many patients over there. As Julis had said, if the suffering of those around her affected her, Charles would probably have his head exploded by the buzzing noise if he went there.

but......

Thinking of this, a hint of doubt appeared on Charles' face. After watching Adele disappear, she took a step and followed her little by little.

From the moment she entered the Clock Tower Alley area until she walked here, the buzzing in her head had never sounded once.

There is no longer the feeling of getting more uncomfortable the closer I get.

She walked forward tentatively step by step, but did not find anything unusual. The street was still empty.

The more pain those around her suffer, the more intensely she feels it...

Charles frowned, as if he had thought of something, and suddenly quickened his pace, running towards the Clock Tower Church.

The clock tower continued to grow larger in Charles's field of vision. The rain had stopped at some point, but the fog around it was getting thicker and thicker.

Soon, she saw the large square in front of the bell tower church and the densely packed tents on the square...

And on the waterlogged black stone road, countless bodies lay scattered and scattered, clearly having experienced intense struggles before death...

"Adele!" Charles' heart tightened as he looked at the silver-haired figure standing in front of the pile of corpses.

Adele slowly turned her head, her body a little stiff, her fingers tightly pinched her throat, as if she was shouting something.

But she could no longer make any sound.

"Run!" Adele took off her mask and shouted in the direction of Charles. After coughing violently, Adele fell to the ground, and mouthfuls of blood spurted out of her mouth.

Charles quickly passed Adele and ran towards the dense pile of corpses, searching left and right quickly.

She can't run away.

An intense thirst had already swept through her mind. She resisted the urge to tear off her mask and sip the dirty water on the ground, wanting to find the living extraordinary person who was enjoying the fruits of the ritual victory among the corpses and tents.

But the suffocating feeling of dizziness still came as expected, and her life was rapidly evaporating.

......

Chapter 41: Real Contact with Avina (Part 1)

"Reality"

「圣741年6月18日17:10」

"Evaluation: Congratulations to the host, you have unlocked another niche way to die."

"I've been able to gather some information through the art of conversation, but...is that enough? Believe in yourself. You can do better."

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

"Reward: Destiny Points*3"

"Destiny Points: 31"

Charles woke up from the bed. The first thing she did after opening her eyes was to get out of bed, pick up her handbag, and rush out of the room.

When I opened the door and walked out onto the street, the sun was about to set, but the street was still bustling with activity.

After running out of the Clocktower Lane area, Charles boarded a public carriage and got a ticket after paying a 4 pence fare.

This was the fastest way she could find to get to the police station in the city center. Now she just hoped that Avina was still there.

Two horses pulled the bumpy carriage, which had two rows of wooden benches that could accommodate nearly twenty passengers. There were even seats on the top of the rectangular carriage.

After finding a random seat and sitting down, Ciel began to sort out in his mind what he had experienced in the simulation.

She now knew a few pieces of information.

First, tomorrow, June 6th, when four patients die of dehydration in the church within one day, the church will report the matter, and the spread of dehydration will begin to accelerate.

Second, this is most likely a recurring ritual of rank promotion, with speculation that the "Messenger of Plague" is being promoted to the "Source of Cholera."

Third, the Church of the Savior Goddess was unable to handle this large-scale infection, so it approached the Redemption Society and reached a cooperation. After the area was blocked, the Redemption Society began to investigate the cause of dehydration from the periphery to the center.

Fourth, sixteen days from now, at noon on July 7th, a more severe outbreak of infection will occur in the resettlement area centered around the Bell Tower Church. Those infected will be drained of all moisture in less than half a minute...

Charles understood what the system meant when it said that he could do better. At least now Charles had begun to regret why he had not gotten Adele's contact information earlier.

If he could contact Adele earlier, he could find the elusive High Priestess Julis through Adele and tell them the information directly. Perhaps he could salvage some things or develop an antidote sooner.

Now, she had to find Avina and try to pass the news through Avina. Fortunately, there was the Eye of Order Contract. Telling Avina was safer than reporting it herself. After all, Avina would not betray her.

The purpose of Charles's direct choice of real action at this time was not only to let Avina report as soon as possible, but also to let Avina arrange for her sister to leave the Clock Tower Alley area as soon as possible.

The sooner Lizzie leaves the Clock Tower Alley area, the less danger there will be. Before ensuring Lizzie's safety, it will be difficult for Charles to concentrate on conducting the next simulation.

The public carriage stopped at a platform not far from the police station. Charles got off and headed straight for the police station.

The police officer in the reception area seemed to recognize Charles as well - after all, anyone who had seen her would find it hard to forget her red hair - and did not stop Charles from going upstairs.

She stood at the entrance of the investigation department at the end of the corridor on the third floor and knocked on the door.

After a long while, just when Charles thought there was no one inside, Avina's voice came from inside.

"Who?"

"Ms. Avina, it's me, Charles." Charles replied at the door.

After more than ten seconds, Avina's voice came again: "Come in."

Charles opened the door, and the moment he opened the door, his brows frowned slightly.

There was no one else in police uniform in the office at this time, but next to Avina's desk stood two people wearing black robes with silver crow masks hanging in front of their necks.

One of the girls with silver hair was Adele.

Charles acted calmly and nodded slightly to the two men in black robes. Adele and the tall, thin, brown-haired man in black robe wearing glasses also responded to Charles with a smile.

"What's going on, Miss Charles?" Avina looked into Charles' eyes and asked calmly. "There's no work today."

Why did the people from the Redemption Society meet Avina at the police station?

Could it be that the Church of the Savior Goddess has already started cooperating with the Redemption Society?

No, that's not right. According to High Priest Julis, four people will die in the church hospital tomorrow, and that's when the church will start reporting and investigating. At this time, the Redemption Society should not have started cooperating with the Church of the Savior Goddess.

It should be the Redemption Society that Avina personally approached...

Since Avina found the Redemption Society before the church, why didn't she show up during the simulation for more than ten days, and didn't even come to ask for the results of the investigation? She doesn't seem like someone who would be so untrustworthy.

"Ms. Avina, I have something urgent to discuss with you. Can I talk to you alone?" Charles asked.

"It's okay, you guys can chat, we're just about to leave." Adele put on her mask and said to the people around her, "Let's go, Teacher Sher."

After hearing Adele's words, the man called Sher turned to look at Avina and said with a smile, "Thank you for your information, Miss Russell. The rest of the work will be handed over to my students. I'll take my leave now."

After saying that, the man also put on his mask. When passing by Charles, he nodded politely to her and then left with Adele.

Charles did not choose to contact Adele directly because there was another person who was suspected to be a supernatural being around her.

The fewer people who know about Charles's identity, the better.
