Miss Witch's Speed Run Manual
Page 29
Xio was silent for a long time before he couldn't help but say, "It has already happened."
"No, it hasn't happened yet." Ciel said firmly, "The Goddess won't let this happen. This is Her will for me."
"I just need to hold this letter for ten minutes, along with your crest. I'll return it to you in ten minutes."
After staring at Ciel for nearly twenty seconds, doubts gradually emerged in Quinn's mind.
She...is not crazy, and she is very sure that what she said is true, without any lies in it.
This made Xio himself doubt whether there was something wrong with his emotional perception ability.
But in the end, Xio gave in and said, "Ten minutes."
A shadowy figure brought paper, pen and envelope for Xio from the silent church. She placed the paper on the shadowy figure's back and wrote a letter that was more formal than what Charles had described. She then placed the church emblem in the envelope and handed it to Charles.
It was only ten minutes. If nothing happened, she could just take the envelope back and destroy it. There was no way Charles would disappear under her nose.
After reaching out to take the envelope, Charles looked at the pile of corpses not far away and said, "Bishop Xiu, can I ask you one last question?"
"Go ahead."
"Where exactly is the seal?"
"over there."
A shadow walked to one of the open spaces in the square and stood still. Xio pointed at the shadow.
"Not far..." Ciel nodded slightly, then looked at Xiou in front of him again and said, "Thank you."
Then, Charles took a step forward and walked towards the sewer inspection hatch that had just opened.
"What do you want to do?" Xio asked, but his body did not move at all. He just made two shadows and followed behind Charles.
"Let's take a look at the seal." Charles took the envelope, jumped directly into the inspection port, and ran directly in the direction of the seal.
The shadow following Charles gradually solidified, and Xio's mechanical voice sounded in her mind again.
"You want to end your life, why?"
The ring in the distance had turned, and the terrifying pupil that was hanging looked in the direction of Charles and began to shrink violently.
She could feel her life evaporating rapidly, and her throat felt like it was burning.
A black shadow appeared behind Charles, suddenly raised his hand, and punched Charles in the back of the head.
The black shadow had opened a hole in the back of Charles's head, but her body was recovering rapidly and her ability to move was back to normal.
Charles jumped high with the letter in his left hand, and grabbed the strange eye that fell into the sewer with his right hand.
"I don't want to end my life, I just want to end the pain."
Charles closed his eyes and ended his life this time.

Chapter 48: The First Past Simulation with an "Old Friend" (5th Update)
"Reality"
「圣741年6月18日18:28」
"Comment: The host has unlocked more and more ways to die."
"Is it beautiful, the other world? If you use it wisely, it can bring you unexpected rewards. You're lucky to have survived."
"Obviously, you could have unlocked a chance to survive to the end—following the bishop back to the Vatican, but you chose a more dramatic death. It's a shame you couldn't see the final splash. I can only give it a 0."
"Take it. You deserve it based on your performance."
"Reward: Destiny Points*8"
"Destiny Points: 29"
Charles gradually woke up from the unbearable tinnitus and returned to reality. After losing the protection of the Glowing Bishop, his spirit had not yet recovered from the afterimage of the other world.
But now she has no more time to worry about it. She has already told Avina about her reporting plan. She doesn't know when Avina will die. By then, she will have no contact person and her sister's survival will be in danger.
She quickly opened the system and opened the point store, and soon she saw what she wanted.
"[Page of the Other World (bloodstained, torn, no information)]"
"Destiny Points: 3"
"[A letter from the Radiant Bishop (with the emblem of the church attached)]"
"Destiny Points: 5"
"[Death Omen Gaze (Awakened)]"
"Destiny Points: 128"
"..."
The emblem of the Glowing Bishop might be an extraordinary item, so it is understandable that it takes 5 points to remove the mark on it.
But why does the page of the Other World have 3 points? Isn't this something I wrote myself?
That last look back of death...is even more expensive than the potion.
Ciel tentatively pointed at the Death Omen's gaze, and a string of more detailed information appeared before her eyes.
"[Death's Gaze (Awakened)]: A special sealed item. Upon awakening, if anyone comes within 7 meters of it, or 21 days after awakening, it will explosively strengthen all diseases, parasites, and viruses within a 700-meter radius, with the effect gradually decreasing from the center outward. If no one touches or approaches it within 7 days of the outbreak, it will automatically deactivate."
"Side effect: The holder's metabolism will be accelerated, gradually increasing to 14 times the original metabolic rate."
The triggering conditions were placed before Charles.
The first simulation, which was the first outbreak of infection 16 days later, was most likely the second activation condition. On June 6, someone placed the sealed object [Retrospect of Death] in the sewer and awakened it.
The second simulated outbreak of infection should be the first trigger condition, when someone approached within 7 meters. The person who approached was Adele, and her body was still in the sewer.
If the murderer hung the thing in the sewer on June 6th and woke it up, and waited for a complete outbreak on July 13th, then the time when the person who planned the ritual drank the potion was most likely June 7th, because he could not be 4% sure that no one would enter the sewer, especially in a place like Clock Tower Alley where all kinds of people mixed together.
As long as she could return to the past before June 6th, she would have a chance to trick the ritual planner who drank the potion...
If the ritual is destroyed after drinking the potion, if he witnesses everything and has not been backfired by the potion, he will definitely come to find Charles.
The prerequisite is that Charles must destroy the ceremony thoroughly enough.
What Xio mentioned, the morbid narcissism of the "poison maker" towards the poisons he developed, may become Charles's breakthrough point.
Charles had no time to waste.
She opened the simulation interface and looked at the past simulations.
「往日:6Day(圣741年6月12日11:30)(消耗10命定点)」
Ciel frowned slightly.
Although we are lucky not to go back dozens or hundreds of days, this time point is still a bit ambiguous.
Six days ago, the planner of the ceremony might not have drunk the potion yet. If he had alerted the enemy, the planner would most likely have abandoned all previous plans and chosen not to drink the potion to avoid being exposed.
At this noon time, we can only wait until the next morning, that is, the morning of the 13th, to launch the sabotage operation.
One can only pray that by that time, the mastermind has already drunk the potion.
Ciel exited the simulation interface.
She directly exchanged the [Pages from the Other World] and the [Personal Letter from the Glorious Bishop] and placed them in the "Warehouse", leaving only 21 destiny points.
If she really alerted the enemy, she would look at the [Pages of the Other World] again to see where the brilliance like the double pupils was.
If the mastermind hadn't started drinking the potion, the brilliant light would definitely be in his hiding place, the place he thought was safest.
If you can locate the hiding place, you can basically locate the other party's identity.
Ciel took a deep breath.
"Past, No. 2."
Charles didn't know when in the future the traitor would get the news, nor did she know when Avina would be liquidated and murdered. All she could do was hurry up, faster.
...
"Past"
「圣741年6月12日11:30」
"Countdown - 23:59:59"
There was a flash of white light in front of Charles' eyes. When she opened her eyes again, the night outside the window had turned into day, and she was no longer at home.
At this moment, Charles was sitting behind a long table in the last row. Below him was a large podium and desk. He could only hear the teacher's lecture and some students' whispers.
She quickly opened the system and confirmed that the items exchanged in the warehouse were still lying there in good condition. She stood up from her seat and only had time to pick up her shoulder bag. She walked around the seat behind her and went up the stairs to the door below.
"Student Charles? What's wrong with you?" The male teacher on the stage looked at Charles with a puzzled expression, and a hint of doubt flashed through his mind.
When did Ciel get his hair cut?
Are you dazzled?
The girl who usually studies the most seriously in class now just walks away with her schoolbag on her back. Even the children of the nobles would not dare to be so arrogant.
"Sorry, I'm not feeling well and I'm taking a leave today." Charles didn't even turn his head, leaving only these words and the stunned teacher.
"That's... Ciel, right?"
"Did I see it wrong? When did she become so...arrogant?"
“She’s so handsome…”
There was a chatter of discussion in the classroom, but soon it became quiet again after the teacher knocked on the podium.
At this time, Charles walked out of the campus quickly and took a public carriage heading to the outskirts of Clocktower Lane. He soon arrived at Clocktower Lane.
Since she wanted to cause damage, she now had two plans, but for each plan, she had to actually check it out and ask her "old friends" for help.
ten minutes later...
Charles walked to the Clocktower Alley area and stopped after turning a corner. About ten seconds later, a tall and thin man wearing a newsboy cap turned into the alley.
He didn't seem to notice Charles leaning against the wall of the alley. He walked around her and wanted to continue forward, but the short knife hidden at his waist fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
He quickly bent down to pick it up, but the next moment, he found that the dagger slowly floated in front of him.
"Pol, where is Solari?" Charles' calm voice sounded behind Pol, making him break out in a cold sweat.
What...situation?
thump—
The blade slammed into the wall beside it and penetrated halfway into the red brick house. The loud noise frightened Boll so much that he trembled all over.
"I'll only give you three seconds, lead the way."
"3......"
"I'll take... I'll take..." Bol nodded repeatedly. He could feel that there was an invisible thing strangling his throat.
The devil...it's the devil...
Chapter 49: I'll Help You Complete the "Instigator" Ritual (Sixth Update)
After witnessing the supernatural power, Paul had no intention of playing tricks at all and took Charles directly to the Blackwater Bar.
Even at noon, the Blackwater Bar was still bustling, but when the man in the newsboy cap and Charles behind him appeared in the bar, the whole bar fell silent and looked at them.
At this time, Solari, who was surrounded by everyone, had a calm expression, but the muscles at the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
"Pol, come here." Solari slowly raised his head and spoke to Pol.
Boll's legs were shaking and he dared not move. Even when Solari spoke, he did not move at all.
"Paul, what the hell are you doing? The boss called you over here!" A younger brother picked up the bottle and stepped forward, but the next moment, Paul raised his hand to stop the other party from moving forward.
"Boss..." Boll's expression was more painful than crying. He said tremblingly, "Something is strangling my neck..."
"Let the others leave and call Thomas over." Ciel looked at the two of them calmly and said, "Your rituals are all wrong."
When Solari heard the word "ritual", his pupils shrank slightly. Soon, he waved his hand and asked others to leave the tavern.
In less than half a minute, the entire tavern was emptied, leaving only Solari, Charles and the trembling man in the newsboy cap.
