Miss Witch's Speed ​​Run Manual

Avina stretched out her hands, and pinched both cheeks of Charles with her slightly cold hands. She seemed to be ready to pinch Charles hard, but in the end she withdrew her strength and just stopped Charles from speaking.

"Just woke up... What are you thinking about now? Why are you concerned about my mental state again..."

Avina tried hard to suppress her emotions and said, "Have you really thought about yourself? Do you really not care about your mental state?"

"Do you know what state I saw you in when I first arrived?"

Avina kept talking, and by the end, her voice was shaking uncontrollably.

"If it were anyone else, I would have immediately judged this situation as death...you know?"

"What on earth is pressuring you to do this?"

"If Adele is in danger, we can send her to a safe place. If Nia is targeted, we can keep her company. Even if Bei'anzu or the royal family are targeting us, we can flee far away, to Pharos, to Devo, even across the ocean, we can run..."

"But why do you..."

Avina's shoulders trembled, and when she spoke of the latter part, her tears could no longer stop flowing.

The unconscious Charles just now really gave her the feeling that he might leave her at any time... She couldn't imagine what would happen to her if Charles really left.

"Avina..."

Charles raised his hand, wanting to comfort Avina, but when the words came to her lips, she couldn't say them.

Ciel can't make any promises...

"Uniqueness" has locked onto me. According to what the system said, there may be theorem of mutual aggregation of "uniqueness". Even if I go to the ends of the earth, I may meet Qiang Yin.

Avina, who doesn't understand all this, thinks that running away can solve the problem, but Charles knows that this is something that cannot be solved by escaping.

Looking at Avina who was a little emotionally broken in front of him, Charles felt a sharp pain in his chest.

She did owe Avina a lot recently...but she had no way to make up for it in such a short time.

And Avina, who had not received a response from Charles, gradually stopped sobbing - she already knew the answer from Charles' silence.

——There is indeed one thing that cannot be avoided even if you run away, and that is Charles' answer that cannot be told.

Avina turned around, no longer letting Charles see her weak side. She said in a hoarse voice: "I understand... I only have one request."

"If there's anything I can help with, you have to call me along. We can face it together... Okay?"

Avina is not the kind of unreasonable and weak person, she can understand Charles' difficulties.

Being unreasonable will not solve any problem... Only by assisting and helping Charles as much as possible can we better solve the problem.

"I promise you."

Ciel nodded.

After hearing Charles' response, Avina slowly raised her head and looked at the ceiling. She sniffed, then walked directly to the door. Her voice also recovered: "If you have anything, just come to me directly."

"Avina."

Charles spoke and called out to Avina who was standing at the door.

Avina paused but didn't look back, waiting for what Charles had to say.

"I love you."

Charles spoke softly.

Avina's hand on the door handle trembled slightly.

This was the first time she heard these words from Charles' mouth.

She sniffed again and said in a cold voice, "I will forget this sentence, and then you can tell me again when this is over."

Click——

After saying that, Avina opened the door and walked out.

"Let's go, Nia."

Listening to Avina's footsteps gradually fading away, Charles supported himself and sat up, leaning his back against the bed, his mind in a mess.

It was not until Tara slowly walked in, closed the door, and stood beside Charles with her head down that Charles shook his head slightly.

She raised her head, took a deep breath, and sorted out her thoughts.

"I'm sorry, Master Ciel, I made this decision without your consent..."

Tara lowered her head, her small hands clenching her white apron on both sides, as if waiting for Charles' punishment.

"fine."

Ciel shook his head and spoke softly.

Charles really couldn't find any words to blame someone who was devoted to him.

Currently, Charles is recalling his previous dream.

That space that was so real...even after escaping from the dream, it was still engraved in Ciel's mind.

She can still recall everything that happened in that space, which is something she cannot do after waking up from other "nightmares".

Most likely, it wasn't a dream.

What happened inside should have some meaning.

White armor...is it that creature from another world?

It seemed to inject something into my eyes, and then it picked up the "Silver Timebinder's Echo" and smashed it into its own eyeballs...

Charles reviewed the details of his dream and subconsciously reached out to take out his pocket watch.

But this time, the pocket watch with a bound seal that he had always carried with him, which would not be lost in the simulation, was empty.

Charles subconsciously opened the system warehouse, but still found no trace of the pocket watch inside... He did not put the pocket watch in there.

Just as Charles was panicking and wanted to lift the quilt to check, she saw her right eye in the panoramic image in her mind.

Her pupils had completely changed at some point.

The originally dark red right pupil was now covered by a silver-white dial, with the second and minute hands constantly jumping on it, accurately and steadily.

Her left pupil was filled with interlocking golden gears, slowly rotating... just like the internal structure of a pocket watch.

From a distance, it looks like two different-colored pupils, one gold and one silver.

But with just a slight blink, these strange visions disappeared and her pupils returned to their normal deep red color.

what happened?

This is……

Sealed pocket watch?

It...was directly imprinted in my eyeballs.

Charles raised her hand tentatively, a silver light flashed, and the exquisite silver pocket watch appeared in the palm of her right hand again. This was not something that came out of the warehouse... She could feel that it was separated from her body.

The silver light flashed again, and the pocket watch in Charles's hand disappeared. As long as she wanted, the pocket watch would appear again.

Charles looked at Tara beside him. Tara, who had been secretly looking at him, immediately lowered her head after looking into his eyes.

"Look at me, Tara."

Charles spoke.

"Okay...Okay, Master Ciel..."

Tara looked up and met Ciel's gaze.

In Charles's panoramic view, her pupils changed again, but Tara in front of her didn't seem to notice anything.

Can't others see it... just like the system panel?

What's going on? System upgrade?

Tara, who had been looking at Charles, pursed her lips and her face turned slightly red, but at this moment, Tara felt more pressure.

At this time, Charles was already distracted.

"System, what's going on?"

Ciel asked in his mind.

What's going on? We've reached the required level, but you're not happy about the free upgrade? ^^]

Compatibility...free...upgrade?

Compatibility with what?

Pocket watch?

Or...Time Binder?

Was this the system's doing? And the pure white gilded patterned armor in my dream...

Suddenly, Ciel remembered the system's comments from last time.

[I saw a new creature from another world, but... it seems to be talking too much.]

The system... went to find the other party...

"System, have you gone to look for that creature from another world?"

This time, the system did not give Charles any response.

This made Charles think of what the creature from the other world said in his dream.

Please forgive me...

[Time Binder-sama…]

Charles was almost certain that it was definitely the system that had caused trouble for the creature from the other world, but he didn't know what method the system had used.

The system has never left Charles to do anything on its own... The most likely scenario is that the other party came to find it.

She had never seen a creature from another world that could directly cross the gate to the other world and appear without being summoned. Could that pure white armor do that? Then it could have drilled out of the node of the other world long ago and killed all the "garbage" it mentioned that disturbed its peace.

There is another possibility - no, it should be the only possibility.

That armored creature from the other world had deliberately contaminated itself, or had left some backdoor in its spirit... It had obtained its own blood and could do this.

If it really attacked Ciel's mind, it would be countered by the "uniqueness" gear. This gear was basically controlled by the system, and the knowledge within it was also sealed by the system...

The system gave certain warnings to the creature from the other world through the "uniqueness" gear.

And is the change in his eyes the "compensation" from that creature from another world?

Ciel shook his head.

These are all just Charles's own subjective guesses based on the existing possibilities. If he really wants to know what happened, he can only wait until he sees that creature from the other world again.

Now, Charles is more inclined to believe that the other party has left him a backdoor similar to a "curse" to invade his mind, otherwise his mind would not be polluted so seriously.

Fortunately, no matter whether it is a "curse" or an attack, it will no longer have any effect on Charles.

During the time she was awake just now, the metallic buzzing in her head slowed down a lot. She estimated that after some time, the remaining pollution would completely disappear.

"last question."

Ciel asked in his mind.

"Will there be any side effects if I enter the simulation again in such a short time?"

[As long as you don't touch the other world, there won't be any problems^_^]

The system smiled seriously for once, which made Charles a little uncomfortable.

Is it okay to just not touch the other world... Ciel hadn't originally planned to use the other world in the next simulation.

She had to use the time to rest and quickly make plans for the next simulation.

Lying here wouldn't help at all, so Charles decided to do something to change his mindset.

She took a shower, changed into the uniform of the Deton Group, asked Tara to prepare the carriage, and took Tara to the Deton Group.

At the group, she met Lucy.

Lucy was also surprised by Ciel's arrival. She met Ciel in the private office, thinking that Ciel had some instructions, but Ciel just came to ask her some questions about weapons of mass destruction - it was more like a casual chat.

Even so, Lucy didn't neglect him at all. Instead, she answered every one of Ciel's questions and tried her best to give her own solution...

But she didn't know if it was just Lucy's illusion, but she always felt that this "weapon of mass destruction" was going to be used in Anzu City...
