Miss Witch's Speed Run Manual

It seems that seeing the servant of God and seeing the dark insects have different meanings in the eyes of this "Dark Insect Preacher".
Charles in the simulation did not make any more attempts. If it was tried in this simulation and Amy alone could not make Eleanor completely loyal, then Charles would have to take action himself next time.
After temporarily taking care of Eleanor's affairs, Charles in the simulation began to concentrate on preparing for the dinner on the 21st.
After the news of Avina's relationship with Ansu spread through the tabloids, Windsor did not visit Avina again. She just sent someone to deliver a letter to reminisce about the past and invited Avina to visit her at Windsor Palace when she was free.
Lucy was responsible for the banquet arrangements and the printing of the invitations, which ensured maximum efficiency and no mistakes.
On the 18th, everyone including Charles moved out of the Deton Member Hotel, leaving Avina alone there, waiting for the banquet to begin.
While waiting for the banquet to begin, the simulated Charles was also looking for potions that his real body could use. He collected quite a few by piecing together some, most of which were obtained from Lucy.
Before the banquet began, the simulated Charles had already collected four or five bottles of potions and made many plans for promotion.
According to what Charles had read, the banquet seemed to have gone more smoothly than expected.
With Tara and Lucy's connections, there were quite a few nobles present, and most of them were extraordinary people.
Windsor also brought many nobles and officials from the Church of the God of Order to attend the banquet, but did not cause any trouble - there were simply too many extraordinary people present, and no matter what they did, it was impossible to completely avoid everyone's attention.
At the banquet, Eleanor helped Charles see through Edward's disguise, but found that he was indeed just an ordinary person. The "subversive" was not him, but someone else, and Edward was just a puppet.
In the simulation, Charles did not capture Edward to avoid alerting the enemy.
The banquet achieved better results than Avina had imagined. Even the police carriage that had been blatantly following her disappeared. The "connections" that Avina demonstrated made those who wanted to attack Nia restrain their thoughts a little.
Nothing went wrong at the banquet, so the only thing that could have gone wrong was the brain.
Charles continued to look down.
After Adele finished tidying up her laboratory, Charles went straight to Adele, took out the brain and asked Adele to study what it was.
But Adele didn't figure out what the brain was used for, or even how to use it - this was something the transformation school would tinker with, and Ashford might be able to figure it out.
In order to get the information as quickly as possible, Charles asked Adele to go directly to the Redemption Society headquarters to "visit" Professor Ashford.
Originally, Charles just wanted to give it a try. After all, Ashford's condition had always been announced to the outside world as being seriously injured and in a coma.
But after Adele went to visit, she was unexpectedly allowed to meet Ashford at the headquarters of the Redemption Society.
He was indeed seriously injured and dying, but the "newborn" was still very strong. Ashford survived even though half of his body was almost blown off. He was now being closely protected by the Redemption Society.
The reason why Ciel hadn't heard any news about Ashford in the simulation before was because Ashford was being protected.
At Charles's instruction, Adele took the research manuscripts that Charles had copied, along with a part of the cut wild violet and the brain, to Ashford.
Charles wanted to use the mutant violet and the research manuscript in exchange for Ashford's help in studying the brain.
Professor Ashford agreed to the deal. His life was about to end, and his only chance was to find a way to break the rot disease, complete the ritual, and try to be promoted to the 4th level "Resuscitator".
The manuscripts and mutant violet samples sent by Ciel that could speed up the research gave Ashford no reason to refuse the deal.
But the problem arises here.
Just one day after Ashford accepted the deal and began studying the brain, he returned the brain to Ciel, along with the manuscript and all the violet samples.
Ashford must have researched something, something that frightened him, so much so that he, who was not afraid of death, gave up the possibility of promotion.
There was no news from Ashford at all, and Adele couldn't contact him either, so Charles had no choice but to start investigating the Farrows Medical Society.
Soon, Charles learned some information about the Faros Medical Association from Avina and Lucy.
The Pharos Medical Association is not an organization of the Pharos royal family, but a subordinate organization of the Pharos. Its full name is the Natula Medical Association, or the Natula Medical Group.
As the name suggests, this is a medical consortium similar to the Deton Group, led by extraordinary people, mainly engaged in insurance and medical care.
Their deeper and real business is to provide medical insurance services for extraordinary people.
The most famous thing they did was to rescue a half-crazy Faros royal supernatural being directly. The method they used was simply horrifying.
They directly cultivated the noble's child—a baby—and raised him from level 1 to level 3. Then, they transplanted almost all of the organs of the level 3 child into the royal family member, completing his "rebirth"...
And the whole process took only 9 years.
This is a medical group that can pull people back from the brink of death and has no bottom line. It is almost contrary to the philosophy of the Redemption Society.
Of course, getting this kind of medical service from them doesn't just require money, there are other costs, but this cost is nothing for some desperate extraordinary people.
That is, the body after death will be fully handled by Natura Medical Group.
They are a literal "flesh factory" composed of the largest number of extraordinary people from the "Doctor", "Poison Maker", "Coroner", "Gardener" and "Butcher" paths.
The nature of the Natula Group made Charles in the simulation start to think about its connection with this matter.
It can be seen that what the Natula Group needs is the corpses of extraordinary people, which will facilitate them to conduct more experiments and help members within the group to be promoted.
The Church of the God of Order wanted to become the sole state religion in Anzu, and they were in desperate need of a Saint. Logically, there wouldn't be any conflict of interest between them...
In between, there is a strong voice whose role in both organizations is unknown...
War... Corpses... Saint...
It can be seen that in the simulation, Charles really wanted to figure out the connection between these things, but misfortune came faster than expected.
Ashford died at the Redemption Society headquarters due to an unknown virus.
The evil fire soon spread to Adele. She was poisoned in her home laboratory and rushed to Charles' home to seek help with half her life - and then transmitted the virus to the simulated Charles.
The other party deliberately let Adele escape, taking advantage of Adele's fear when she was on the verge of death, making Adele subconsciously look for Charles, thus locking on Charles's location.
Adele cannot be blamed for this, because it was she who asked Adele to deliver the brain to Ashford... Adele was the one who was implicated.
Realizing that she was poisoned, Ciel in the simulation directly chose to drink the "Coroner" potion - this was the way to allow her to survive the longest when seriously injured or infected.
The servants in Charles's house, not even Tara, were not infected at all... This is a controllable virus, and the person who controls the virus is even observing Charles' every move.
Charles asked Tara, who was not infected, to tell Avina that he was infected with the fatal virus. He only told Avina not to come and to arrange for someone to bury him as soon as possible.
On the 25th, Adele, infected with an unknown virus, died in Charles' home and no antidote was found.
On the 26th, in the dying simulation, Charles hid the notebook that recorded all the information, including some necessary items, in the coffin, and used the ability of "coroner" and the system skill "hide" to fake his death.
On the 27th, Charles' "death" was discovered by his servants.
On the 28th, the virus was completely detonated, and the "coroner" Charles who was lying pretending to be dead actually died in the coffin.
Someone, carrying a supernatural item similar to [Dead Gaze], directly "detonated" the virus in Charles' body in the cemetery - this is not only something that can be done by sealed objects, but also high-level "poison makers" have such ability.
who is it?
Did he/she leave?
Charles was almost certain that this was definitely someone from Natula Medical Group.
Charles wasn't sure whether the other party had continued to leave, or even whether there was any virus left in the coffin. She gently extinguished the kerosene lamp, letting everything around her return to darkness.
In front of her were two bottles of potion.
This is what Ciel prepared for himself in the simulation.
Tier 1 "Coroner" and Tier 2 "Queen Bee".
These two bottles were potions that Ciel in the simulation had confirmed he should be able to digest.
The second-level "Queen Bee" is the successor to the first-level "Gardener". The "Gardener" reappearance ceremony is a bit too cumbersome and time-consuming for Charles, so he plans to jump directly from the first-level "Coroner" to the adjacent second-level "Queen Bee".
The most likely reason is that Charles failed to complete the path to becoming a Level 2 "Bone Sculptor" and could only avoid the difficult-to-reproduce ritual through this jump.
Even after the jump, Charles can still choose to jump back to the 3rd level "Weaver", directly return to the "Coroner" path, or continue to be promoted from the 2nd level "Queen Bee" to the next level "Red Dragon".
Ciel fumbled and picked up the bottle of "Coroner" potion.
At this point, I can only drink the potion to protect myself...
The "coroner's" ability to disguise corpses is still trustworthy.
Ciel drank the "Coroner" potion directly.
Perhaps because she had digested it perfectly before and had even drunk the "Coroner" potion, she did not have any adverse reactions after drinking the Coroner potion this time, and the potion quickly merged with her flesh and blood.
However, even without the influence of the "Touch of Treason" this time, Ciel's hair and eye color still changed, moving towards a color similar to that of the raven, as if this had become an unchangeable destiny.
In other ways, Charles had never felt this feeling. The influence of "Touch of Destiny's Treason" on Charles had not disappeared, even though the damaged one had been left in the other world by Charles.
Even though Charles had greatly slowed down his breathing, the air in the coffin was still being consumed.
Ciel hesitated, then reached out to touch the bottle of "Queen Bee" potion.
……
Russell Family Cemetery.
Pat pat pat——
The sky in Ansu City is always gloomy, and it seems that this kind of light rain is falling all year round.
A figure in a pitch-black dress, holding a black umbrella, stood blankly in front of a brand new tombstone that had no words engraved on it, staring at the grave in front of it with lifeless eyes.
"Ms. Avina, please accept my condolences..."
Nia looked down at the black umbrella beside her. Although she couldn't see the expression on Avina's face, the sound of every raindrop hitting the black umbrella sounded like the sound of a broken heart.
“I have tried my best to get this position. You know, Miss Avina, outsiders cannot be buried here.”
Behind Nia, a figure wearing a black armor mask with only his chin exposed slowly spoke.
"You could actually shut up first, Seraphim."
Lucy on the side pressed the hat on her head and spoke expressionlessly.
"Hehe...you're being a bit aggressive, Director Lucy."
Seraphim smiled awkwardly. She really didn't dare to offend the new executive director of the Deton Group.
Among all these people, the one who looked the calmest was a little girl with green hair wearing a maid outfit.
The Mother Goddess is an omniscient and omnipotent being that permeates the universe and all time and space and is invincible. How could she possibly die?
It must all be the Mother Goddess's plan or just a little bit of mischief.
Almost everyone who came to mourn Charles was present, except Amy, who didn't even know the news. Even Isabella, who had only met him once, was standing behind everyone, bowing her head in silence.
A gust of wind blew, and the black umbrella in Avina's hand was blown down. The rain hit her face and flowed down her cheeks.
Avina turned her head and looked in Tara's direction. Only after she confirmed Tara's indifferent expression again did the sadness in her heart ease a little.
Charles... said he believed her...
But Adele is really dead...
Avina took a deep breath, and without picking up the black umbrella, she turned around and said, "Let's go."
"Ms. Avina, what do you think about going back?"
Seraphim didn't seem to care about the atmosphere at all and asked directly behind Avina.
"I'll give you the answer within three days."
Avina didn't look back.
If Charles doesn't show up in three days, she will return to the Russell family. Even if it means burning herself to death, she will use the fire to expose the scum who poisoned her.
After everyone turned around and followed Avina away, Isabella mourned in her heart, sighed softly, threw the white rose in her hand next to the tombstone, and lowered her head slightly.
The mysterious and powerful person that she originally wanted to have more contact with died inexplicably... This made Isabella feel very depressed. She felt that as long as she came into contact with the extraordinary people, she would not have any good luck.
When will I be able to embark on the path of transcendence...

Chapter 215 Do you want to play hide and seek?
Russell family cemetery in Ansu City.
The cemetery was exceptionally quiet at night. Apart from the footsteps of the gravekeeper patrolling in the darkness with a dim oil lamp, the only sounds could be heard were the faint sounds of mice and insects running.
"cough……"
"Cough cough..."
Under an unknown grave in the corner, a figure curled up in a coffin, coughing uncontrollably.
There were two empty potion bottles scattered beside her. The pain brought by the potion seemed to corrode her flesh and blood, making her face pale, and the dizziness caused by lack of oxygen made it difficult for her to even struggle.
Even at level 2, her hands had already begun to mutate. Thorns made of white bones penetrated her skin and wrapped around her arms in circles.
