Avina's eyes passed over the two pointed protrusions and looked at the face of the figure.

There is no doubt that even if the hair color has changed, this is the person I think about day and night.

Avina blinked, feeling her eyes burning. She carefully walked to the girl and sat next to her.

Her eyes were fixed on the white bone thorns wrapped around Charles's hands. The bloody flesh worms hanging from it like vines were wriggling slightly, as if an ugly monster had grown on an exquisite jade sculpture, which only gave people a strong visual impact.

This is the manifestation of the potion corroding the body... The two bottles of potion were drunk by Ciel...

Avina raised her hand and gently stroked the bone thorns in Charles's hand. The thorns seemed to feel Avina's touch and trembled slightly, as if in response.

The touch of someone else touching the thorns seemed a little sensitive to Charles.

Charles, who had just fallen asleep, raised his eyelids slightly and looked at Avina who was sitting next to him.

"Good evening……"

Ciel smiled and greeted weakly.

"Charles..."

Although it was still afternoon, Avina did not correct Charles's greeting. When she heard Charles' familiar voice, the burning sensation in her eyes could no longer be controlled.

She raised her right arm and put it in front of her face to stop the tears from flowing.

Although Ciel had asked Tara to give her a "vaccination" before, Ciel's previous performance was really no different from being dead. Moreover, she spent a lot of money to hire a "newcomer" from the Redemption Society to study the virus in Ciel's body. The "newcomer" also came to the conclusion that Ciel would definitely die.

You know, Adele, who was also infected with the same virus, actually died...

God knows how she managed to get through this period.

Charles, who was lying down, raised her hands, as if she wanted to hug Avina, but after she raised her hands, she realized that there were thorns wrapped around her arms.

So, Charles moved his body little by little, raised his head slightly, and rested it on Avina's thigh.

"Your hair got my clothes wet..."

Avina spoke with a trembling voice, wiping the tears welling up in her eyes with her sleeves, but a few drops still fell directly on Charles' face.

The emotions and grievances that Avina had suppressed over the past few days were finally released at this moment, and she just let Charles fall asleep on her lap.

The sunlight from outside the window shone through the glass onto Avina's back, giving her a warm feeling...but it was hard not to wonder if Charles moved to sleep on Avina's legs just to use Avina's body to block the sunlight.

One hour...two hours...three hours...

The sun outside the window has set, and the red glow outside the window indicates that night is coming.

It was at this time that the "nocturnal creature" Charles slowly opened his eyes.

"Well……"

She raised her hand and rubbed her forehead, then supported her completely limp body and sat up, drooping her shoulders as she looked at Avina beside her.

"Good morning……"

Charles showed a faint smile on his face and greeted Avina.

"It's evening already."

Avina looked at Charles beside her with no expression on her face.

After the ups and downs in her mood in the past few hours, Avina has gradually calmed down and her emotions have returned to calmness.

But when she was talking to Charles, she didn't know if it was Charles' illusion, but she always felt that Avina's voice was gentler.

Perhaps it was because she almost lost something that Avina learned to cherish it more.

"I feel dizzy... Maybe I didn't get enough sleep..."

Charles turned his head and glanced out the window.

"It's night time now... time to go to bed..."

As he said that, Charles slowly turned over and was about to crawl towards the pillow.

But the next moment, Charles' skirt was grabbed by Avina.

Avina's clothes were originally larger than Charles's, and the straps of her nightgown were only half hanging on Charles' shoulders. Now that Avina had pulled it like that, the whole nightgown almost slipped off Charles' body.

Feeling her nightgown being pulled, Charles crawled towards the pillow and looked back at Avina with a puzzled look on his face: "What's wrong?"

Avina: "..."

In the past, Charles almost wanted to stay awake at night and spend 24 hours a day working, but now he wants to sleep as soon as he gets the chance.

Avina didn't mind letting Charles rest for a while, but now, there seemed to be a very urgent matter that needed Charles to confirm.

"Eleanor from the Savior Cult has arrived... She seems to be here to visit you. She's been waiting downstairs for more than ten minutes."

Avina looked at Charles and asked, "Do you want to go down and see her first?"

Charles looked at Avina and tilted his head slightly. At this time, her somewhat drowsy brain finally started to work.

"Yes..."

The simulation will end in a few hours...

Then try to stay awake for a few more hours...

Charles nodded, crawled back a few steps, lifted her legs and stepped directly on the thick carpet. She raised her hands to pull the straps up slightly, then walked directly towards the door.

But the next moment, Charles' skirt was pulled by Avina again.

"Is this how you're going to meet her?"

Looking at Charles, whose half-sling was hanging down and whose hair was messed up from sleeping, Avina shook her head slightly.

"Sit down first, I'll help you find some clothes."

After Avina helped Charles sit down on the bed, she stood up and walked towards the door.

Charles naturally did not refuse the offer of not having to work himself. He just sat there and watched Avina leave.

When Avina came in with a new set of clothes, Charles, who was sitting on the bed, had already lowered his head and started "fishing" mode.

Avina brought Charles a sleeveless dress to prevent the thorns on his arms from scratching his clothes, and then paired it with a relatively large leather shawl. As long as he didn't make any big movements, it should be more durable than other soft shawls.

"Let's go."

Looking at Charles who had been dressed again with her help, Avina nodded with satisfaction - except that Charles' hair was still a little messy.

Avina was walking in front of Charles, and Charles, who was following behind Avina, leaned forward almost the entire time, resting his forehead on Avina's shoulder as he walked forward... This way of walking would save more effort for Charles.

It's a pity that there was a height difference when going down the stairs, so Charles had to temporarily give up the energy-saving walking method when going downstairs. After reaching the first floor, he put his forehead on Avina's shoulder again.

"Charles."

Avina suddenly stopped and turned her head slightly to look at Charles who was leaning on her right shoulder.

"Um……?"

Charles leaned on Avina's shoulder and turned his head slightly to look at her.

"I feel like your personality has changed a lot... Is this also the effect of the potion?"

Avina looked at Charles' dark purple pupils and asked with some concern.

If it was the old Charles, he would definitely not walk so intimately with his arm around her shoulder in front of so many people. Many maids along the way saw this scene and showed some surprise on their faces.

Even Avina, who had been trained in the world of fame and fortune for so long and felt that she didn't care about other people's eyes at all, blushed more and more as she walked.

"Yes."

Ciel replied with a single word and began to speak in a way that saved effort.

"It's okay... I'll find a way to help you recover..."

After Avina finished speaking, she hesitated for a moment, then took a step back and let Charles walk side by side with her.

This way, Ciel would be leaning on his shoulder.

Then, Avina slowly reached out and put her arms around Charles' slender waist.

Avina never thought that it would be so easy for Charles to lean on her in such a "little bird-like" posture.

This feeling gave Avina an unprecedented sense of confidence. She even felt that there was nothing wrong with continuing like this...

All I have to do is slowly help Ciel perfect the Resurrection Ritual, and find a powerful "newborn" to help Ciel slightly resolve the potion erosion on his hands...

I got a soft and sticky Charles.

Moreover, Avina had a vague feeling that in this state, no matter what she did, Charles would not resist... She was simply too lazy to resist.

But soon, Avina suppressed these selfish desires in her heart.

"How can you think that, Avina... You have to do your best to restore Ciel to its original state..."

"But there's nothing you can do about it, even if you try to keep Ciel in this state for a little longer... After all, your own spirit hasn't fully recovered yet."

In Avina's heart, it seemed as if a little angel and a little devil were arguing with each other.

Soon, Avina came to the living room with Charles in her arms.

Eleanor, who had heard footsteps early, looked up towards the door and saw Avina walking in with her arms around Charles.

Eleanor was stunned for a moment, as if she couldn't accept the change in Charles.

She had no way of connecting the soft and weak-looking girl in front of her with the terrifying girl who had broken through Qiang Yin's defense with just a few words and was a mastermind.

But Eleanor didn't seem too surprised. There were many extraordinary people whose personalities were even more distorted due to the influence of the potion. Charles was just a relatively normal case.

After Avina helped Charles sit opposite Eleanor, Charles leaned his back against the soft backrest of the sofa, almost instantly blending in with the sofa.

"Long time no see, Eleanor..."

Charles looked at Eleanor and smiled slightly, as a greeting.

Eleanor first nodded slightly to Avina beside her, as a greeting to her, then she looked at Charles and said, "I pried out some information..."

Eleanor said as she handed a set of organized notes to Charles.

Ciel reached out and took the notebook, flipping it open and quickly scanning it.

Charles turned the pages very quickly. In less than twenty seconds, he had memorized almost half a notebook's worth of interrogation notes.

After reading it, Ciel closed his notebook, closed his eyes, and began to digest the contents of the notebook.

What is recorded here is basically the correct memory of each time Qiang Yin "looks back". The memory includes every use and result of Qiang Yin after it gained "uniqueness" in the past one hundred years or nearly two hundred years.

Half of it is about the difficulties and life-and-death crises that Qiang Yin encountered himself, while the other half, which is the later part, is all about the memory of Qiang Yin using his "uniqueness" to start conquering and plundering resources.

But these contents are not new to Charles.

Because Qiang Yin's recollection and reincarnation will not retain the previous ones, that is to say, in Qiang Yin's memory, there are only puzzles and results, and no process at all.

Moreover, some events that were easy for Ciel to resolve were repeated several times by Qiangyin because he could not leave any more information.

But this is still very difficult for Charles...

Just from the perspective of "uniqueness", his ability poses no threat to Charles, but the most difficult thing is that Qiang Yin himself is a level 4 transcendent.

This is enough to offset his disadvantage of low usage of "uniqueness".

Unfortunately, there is no information about the next few dozen days in Qiang Yin's brain - this brain comes from Windsor on July 7, not Windsor 20 days later when the simulation was first started, so there is no information about Qiang Yin's future.

But there is one thing that Ciel can confirm.

That is, the remaining number of times a strong note can be traced back may be less than you think.

Even more, if you simulate the future several times, and if it is at the time point where Qiangyin needs to go back in the future, if you waste a few more times, Qiangyin may directly exhaust you to death or drive you crazy.

But that's unlikely.

The closer he gets to death, the crazier and more radical Qiangyin's behavior will become. Charles is not ready to face the 4th level of madness.

No one knows what a madman will do.

Fortunately, this simulation was not completely fruitless.

She found out Mond, the man behind the scenes who actually got the information about Adele's thesis. At least Adele could stay safe in reality.

Considering the indirect connection between Mond, Lafayette and Qiang Yin, it is very likely that Mond was the one who leaked the information about the antidote 100 days after his first simulation.

Why did Mond leak this information? Was it simply to sabotage the research and prevent the Bei'ansu's revival ritual from being disrupted?

If she wanted to protect the re-creation ritual, she could have reported this information anonymously to Qiang Yin or the Church of the God of Order long ago, and Charles and the others would have been dealt with quickly.

The only problem might arise with Mond's own reappearance ceremony.
