The door was opened and Avina walked in from outside.

She glanced at the uneaten lunch on the table, then looked in Charles' direction and asked, "Are you not used to the food here, Charles?"

"Ciel?"

Avina looked at Charles' eyes and the bloodshot on his eyeballs, her expression a little nervous.

"Didn't you sleep well last night? You look very weak..."

Avina walked towards Charles.

This sentence was different from what I remembered, but it also showed concern for my mental health... After a while, Lucy would come over and ask about lunch as well...

Ciel raised her hand and rubbed her temple. This time of recalling, she actually felt as if she couldn't distinguish between simulation and reality... She could probably understand the feeling of recalling some strong sounds.

No wonder he went to such great lengths to create an absolutely accurate memory and store it away, acting as a living notebook...

At this time, Charles also realized the importance of the spiritual notes to himself.

This is a memory anchor that can help you quickly locate the correct memory - especially when your mind is in a state where memories of different times are intertwined.

"I am fine."

Charles shook his head and lowered his head in thought.

Avina looked at Charles, who lowered his head and fell silent again, feeling a little confused.

This is the first time that Charles has "ignored" me like this... What happened?

……

And at the same time.

At the royal luncheon in Vitalis Palace, several famous figures were sitting at the dining table, listening to the Queen speaking from the seat of honor.

Dang clang——

The sound of the teacup falling on the plate attracted everyone's attention.

A white-haired man who was sitting upright suddenly stood up, raised his right hand and pressed it on the left side of his cheek.

The index finger of his left hand began to weather and wither slowly, and large patches of flesh on his face also began to weather and fall off bit by bit. His originally handsome face began to become distorted and terrifying.

"Cough cough..."

Qiang Yin was panting and coughing violently, with a trace of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.

He took his right hand away with some trembling and saw the bloodstains on it.

I felt the familiar dull pain and dizziness in my head, as well as the unfamiliar roars of countless monsters and the humming of metal...

three times……

A third time backtracking?

The third time he looked back, he sacrificed some of his internal organs as a warning?

It's the most critical moment...

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I'm feeling a little unwell today..."

Qiang Yin's voice was a little hoarse, and he left the table quickly without waiting for the Queen's reply. Charles, who was standing beside him, looked at the wound on Qiang Yin's face and narrowed his eyes slightly.

thump—

Qiang Yin, who was still coughing violently after getting into the carriage, knocked hard on the wooden board in front of the carriage and said, "To Windsor Palace!"

"Cough cough..."

This was an absolute crisis. To deal with it, he had to activate more unconventional plans...

Dig three feet deep into the ground and eliminate the source of danger even if it means killing a thousand people by mistake!

Chapter 255: Assistance from “Father-in-law”?

"Inside information from Vitalis Palace?"

Avina sat on the sofa, took off her glasses and put them aside, and gently pinched and rubbed the bridge of her nose with the index finger and thumb of her right hand.

After a long while, Avina shook her head helplessly and said, "I have been away from Ansu City for several years, and my connections have basically been cut off..."

Suddenly, Avina paused and looked up at Charles who was standing beside her.

"Have you got any ideas?"

Charles asked, looking at Avina's expression.

Now, Charles urgently needs to find out what Qiang Yin was doing in Vitalis Palace at that time and who was around him... This will be very helpful for subsequent plans and actions.

The time for this past simulation is 7:16 on July 18, and it can cover until 00:17 on the 12th. If well prepared, Charles can get rid of Qiang Yin in one go in this past simulation.

If he failed, Charles would have to spend an unknown number of destiny points and make countless attempts before he could reset the past simulation to 17:12 on the th.

If multiple simulations fail and the destiny points continue to decrease, Charles will even have to consider using the dumbest method...kill Qiang Yin multiple times in reality until he can no longer use "uniqueness".

But this stupid method has great uncertainty... Every time Qiang Yin dies, a small amount of information will be left behind. The accumulation of that information will only make each new backtracking more dangerous and make Qiang Yin more difficult to kill.

In the end, it's possible that Ciel's identity might be directly locked by the powerful voice...

Qiangyin just had much less information than himself, and there was a huge information gap between him and himself. Qiangyin was just an arrogant person, and he must not be treated as a fool - a fool would never have reached this point.

It’s a pity that Charles really doesn’t have any connections in the royal family. If Avina can’t provide any information, Charles can only consider investigating it on his own and get the results before the next future simulation comes and refreshes the previous simulation.

"Char, remember when you were learning the ancient Ansu language, I sent the translation you wanted to a professor in Ansu who was studying the ancient Ansu language?"

Avina asked, looking at Ciel.

professor?

Charles only thought about it for a moment and soon remembered.

That was something Avina had mentioned to him in a letter. In the letter, Avina expressed that she was not very skilled and could not fully translate the words, so she wanted to send the information to a professor who studied the ancient Ansu language...

Later, Charles learned the ancient Ansu language based on the books recommended and sent by the professor. There was also a message from the professor to Avina on the books. The professor thought that Avina wanted to continue studying the ancient Ansu language and seemed very happy.

"Helen Stone?"

Ciel inquired.

This name was from the middle-aged woman who came to Ansu City as a lobbyist shortly after arriving there. She was Avina's teacher and seemed to have a close relationship with Avina.

"No...she's just my teacher."

Avina shook her head and explained, "The professor who studies the ancient Ansu language is named Ravenwood."

"Raven?"

Ciel nodded, "It's a rare name."

Raven means "raven" in Ansu language. Few people would use this as their name. The word "raven" does not have a good symbolic meaning in Ansu. It generally symbolizes plague, victory and mourning culture. It also has the metaphor of the "living totem" of the Ansu bell tower.

When a person learning the ancient Ansu language uses Raven as his name, it is hard not to associate it with the concepts of "forbidden knowledge" and "curse".

"That's definitely not her real name,"

Avina nodded. "This is the name she gave herself after she became obsessed with studying the ancient Ansu language...but I don't know what her original name was."

"She knows something about the royal family?"

Ciel demanded.

“She was originally a non-academic fellow of the University of Augsburg and also served as my private tutor… Shortly after I left Ansu, she resigned from the university and was hired by the royal family to serve as the Queen’s personal special advisor on archaeology.”

Avina paused for a moment before continuing, "If you want to ask about the royal family, she should be able to tell you something."

"Not a member of the academy? Isn't she a professor at Augsburg University?"

Ciel asked with some confusion.

"Um……"

After hearing Charles' question, Avina pondered for a moment before explaining:

"August University has only been admitting female students for the past two years... At least before she left, the university still didn't accept female students or lecturers. She couldn't obtain a formal degree or teaching position, and could only participate in research as a 'non-academician' or provide private teaching for aristocratic families."

After hearing Avina's answer, Charles was a little dazed.

After struggling in the extraordinary world for too long, she almost forgot some other secular and backward rules here.

The title of professor should be considered as Avina's personal name for Professor Raven.

"Can you still contact her?"

Charles looked at Avina and asked.

"Yes, I know her address."

Avina nodded. "We occasionally contact each other through letters. At least the last time we communicated, she hadn't changed her address... Should we visit her now?"

Seeing Avina mention it on her own initiative, Charles nodded without hesitation.

Knowing that Charles was in a hurry, Avina didn't waste any time and took Charles out directly. However, before leaving, Charles changed into a uniform of the Deton Group - because wearing a mask with this uniform would not look strange.

However, when they were leaving, they ran into Lucy who was looking for Ciel.

In the original timeline, the time they were chatting just now was when Charles and Avina went to find Adele and handed over the research notes in the simulation to Adele. Calculating the time, Lucy would be coming over now.

But now, Charles has more important things to do and doesn't have much time to chat with Lucy. Moreover, Lucy came to him just to tell him the good news that she would be elected as executive director at the board meeting on the 25th.

"Eh? Good afternoon, Miss Charles, Miss Avina."

Lucy was about to knock on the door when she saw Avina and Charles coming out. She quickly took a step back, took off her golden mask, and greeted them.

"Congratulations. I might have to call you Director Lucy next time we meet."

Ciel nodded at her through the silver mask and said, "Sorry, Miss Lucy, we are going to visit an old friend now. Let's discuss your celebration party later."

Lucy: "?"

Lucy: "Uh? Huh? Okay, okay. Take care."

It was not until Tara and Nia followed the two beautiful girls away from the door that Lucy gradually came to her senses and began to have some doubts.

As soon as I got the news, I rushed over to report the good news, without even telling anyone else... How did Miss Charles know?

Lucy shuddered at the thought.

Is this the organization I want to join?

What a terrifying intelligence network...

But soon, Lucy calmed down and even felt a little excited.

The more powerful the organization is, the more it proves the correctness of her choice, and she also got a promotion and a raise...Lucy feels better than ever today.

There is a feeling that even if two lucky coins are thrown with tails, it cannot stop the booming luck today!

At this time, Charles, Tara and Avina had already boarded a prepared carriage, with Nia driving directly in the front, heading away from the Mafer area and towards Belgravia.

The professor did not live in an expensive core area. Belgravia, as a newly developed community, attracted many upstarts, and many senior executives of the Deton Manor group also lived here.

Compared with luxury villas in other places, there are more white stucco townhouses here, most of which are built around garden squares. They are considered the first choice for the new elite class and real estate investment.

Belgrave Square is a garden square newly built in 740. The center is a private garden that only residents can enter. Surrounding it are four-story townhouses. The floor height and building materials of these townhouses are very uniform, and they look very classical and majestic.

At 36 East Belgrave Square, Avina's carriage stopped at the door of the townhouse.

Charles and Avina got out of the car together. Avina walked to the door and reached out to ring the bell.

It is lunch time now, and most people will eat at home. If you go directly to their home to look for them, you will most likely not be disappointed.

After waiting for about three or four seconds, the door slowly opened. A chestnut-haired maid looked at Avina and Charles at the door and was slightly stunned.

Just by looking at their clothes and temperament, the maids could tell that the visitors were either rich or noble, not to mention the luxurious carriage parked behind them.

"Hello, this is Ms. Ravenwood's residence. May I ask who you are..."

The maid bowed slightly and asked politely.

"My name is Avina, a former student of Professor Raven."

Avina nodded slightly and said to the maid, "Excuse me, is Professor Raven home?"

"Avina?"
