Miss Witch's Speed ​​Run Manual

A feminine voice sounded from the side.

Qiang Yin stretched out his bloody fingers and gently wiped away the blood on his face, but the blood left a large stain of bright red on his face.

Combined with his face now covered with strange symbols and his almost sick eyes, it gives people a chilling sense of horror.

"I told you... I don't know any key man..."

On the operating table, Lafayette's voice gradually became weaker. She looked at the madman with fear. The granulation tissue at the broken arm squirmed, helping her to close the wound.

"No~"

Qiang Yin smiled and shook his head. He lowered his eyebrows and looked down at Lafayette lying in a pool of blood. He said slowly, "I know everything... You can't hide it from me..."

"do you know her?"

Qiang Yin seemed to have thought of something. He slowly took out half of a bloody human face with hair from the cloth bag at his waist and held it in front of Lafayette.

Lafayette gasped for breath as she tried to identify the appearance of the human skin, but there was no clear comparison in her mind.

"I don't know her... Who is she?"

Lafayette's tone was already somewhat helpless, "I really don't know her..."

Qiang Yin's expression turned cold, and the smile on his face disappeared. He threw the bloody human skin in his hand onto the operating table and said in a cold voice: "Then think about it carefully."

After saying that, Qiang Yin turned and left the underground collection room, walking along the dark corridor towards the first floor.

Lafayette really seems to be clueless...

Could it be that she was later instigated by the "key man"?

Or... the person who borrowed the identity of "Key Man"?

The body of the key holder handed over by the Deton Group was highly corrupted by the potion and had been corroded to the point where its original appearance was completely unrecognizable. Even if someone from the Joy Club came over, it would be unlikely for them to recognize who it was.

Originally, he had no intention of starting his investigation from the fake corpse in the hands of the Deton Group, nor did he want to offend the Deton Group and challenge their damn luck.

But now the situation has reached an extremely critical point, and he must try his best to use all means... After three times of looking back, he doesn't even know who the other party is... This kind of frustration has never happened before.

As they entered the hall, a musician in formal attire approached Qiang Yin and reported, "Mr. Qiang Yin, I've learned from Lucy Silfa's men that she's been frequenting the Deton Member Hotel lately. This unusual behavior only started after she returned from Burren City."

"Ready your horse."

Qiang Yin had a cold face and walked quickly towards the door.

……

Deton Member Hotel, in the luxury suite.

Charles looked out the window at the cavalry troops gradually gathering on the street below and forming an array.

A faint buzzing sounded in his mind, like the thumping of piano keys. Charles turned around and looked at Avina. They were both familiar with this sound.

It is an accent detector, a level 4 "Phantom Sounder".

It is a strong tone.

It’s only the third time looking back, and Qiang Yin’s reaction is really too fast... It’s only the 17th now, and in every previous simulation, Qiang Yin did nothing in the first few days.

But this time, Qiang Yin found Charles almost within a few hours and blocked almost all of Charles's channels for seeking help.

At first, Charles only used the name of the Keyman to control the Chaos Squadron and confuse the top leaders of the Pleasure Club, making them think that the Keyman was not dead.

Using Lucy also brought a lot of convenience to Ciel, but Lucy's strong connection with the key man became a breakthrough as Ciel had expected.

Qiang Yin may not have any evidence at all, but he doesn't need any evidence. With the power of retrospection, he can kill everyone like Charles did in the simulation and force the evidence out through bloody means.

This time, Qiang Yin was really forced into a corner.

Ciel took a deep breath, closed the curtains, and wrote something on the notebook with a quill pen at the desk.

[Help me hold back Qiang Yin, don't let him find me]

【At least ten minutes】

Charles turned around and showed the letter to Avina and Tara.

Drag...a strong note?

Level 4 "Phantom Sounder"?

Although the strong tone has not appeared yet, and may not appear within ten minutes, this text alone is enough to make people feel suffocated.

But neither Avina nor Tara said anything, they just looked at Charles and nodded.

Avina is waiting too.

As long as Charles could arrive, she would be sure to let Charles hold Qiang Yin back for ten minutes... Although she didn't know what the ten minutes would be for, Avina still chose to believe Charles.

If there is really no other way, she will fulfill her promise.

Even if she turned into a pool of blood and mud, as long as she could help Charles stop the enemy a little bit, she would not be unworthy of the promise she made to Charles before that she would never retreat when faced with danger.

Ciel didn't waste any time. She simply raised her hand towards the table. With a flash of silver light, the [Endless Manual of Forgetting Everything After Seeing It] disappeared from the table.

In his heart, Charles quickly called out the system, opened the simulation interface, and selected the past simulation.

Ciel did not choose the "Subversive" save file.

She had to gain Charles' trust in the simulation. In front of a level 4, the probability of a "disruptor" being discovered was too high. Once Charles discovered that she was a level 3 "disruptor", everything Charles said would be questioned.

This is not conducive to gaining trust.

Similarly, the "Source of Cholera", which can only be advanced by those who have committed a lot of evil and is also likely to arouse Charles' suspicion, is not within Charles's range of choices.

This plan does not require the use of Charles's own combat power. She only needs to have a certain ability to protect herself and escape.

She only gets one chance.

This time, Ciel chose to follow his intuition and chose "Judge".

"In the past."

"No. 2."

The silver halo swallowed up everything in front of Charles' eyes. Her consciousness was quickly pulled away, and her body, which was originally standing, collapsed and fell on the carpet.

……

【Past】

【圣741年7月16日18:00】

[Countdown - 23:59:59]

Charles quickly opened his eyes and immediately opened the system warehouse. He looked at the real content of the endless manual in the thumbnail above and quickly memorized it in his mind.

In front of her, Avina, holding a soup spoon, looked at Charles with wide eyes, somewhat stunned. She didn't even notice that the thick soup on the spoon spilled onto the table.

Avina raised her hand to rub her eyes, put down the spoon, looked at Charles across from her, blinked, and said hesitantly: "... Charles?"

Ciel took a deep breath. The uneasiness in her chest made her even more irritable, but with the help of Lv.5 [Calm Thinking], she was still able to think rationally, and the anger in her heart did not affect her judgment.

"Ah."

Charles nodded slightly, quickly put down the knife and fork in her hand, stood up, walked to the window, directly opened the curtains, and looked at the surging crowd below.

Now is the time when the West End is at its busiest and everyone is enjoying the nightlife, especially on this clear and cool night.

The big news on the 15th is the return of "public sweetheart" Opold Ansu.

And the news on the 16th.

It would be the Royal Society of Medicine bombing.

Tonight, the explosion planned and directed by Qiang Yin will be launched at the Royal Society of Medicine. The purpose is to directly kill Professor Ashford to prevent him from really developing an antidote to the corruption disease and allowing Bei'an Su to recover.

This was the first time that Charles realized Qiang Yin's ruthlessness and ambition. For greater power, Qiang Yin would not care about the death of any life.

"What happened? Charles, your hair, your clothes, how did it just in the blink of an eye..."

Avina also stood up from the dining table. She walked behind Charles and reached out to touch his shoulder, but then pulled back.

It was so weird. I just blinked and Charles' hair changed completely. It seemed that his temperament also changed subtly. Although he seemed more charming, there was always a strange feeling of strangeness.

Also, although Ciel was clearly just an ordinary person, he just revealed a hint of the aura of a transcendent...

Avina's question made Charles turn around. She quickly walked in front of Avina, raised her arms and hugged her shoulders tightly.

"Um……"

Charles' strength made Avina, who was suddenly hugged tightly, feel slightly suffocated. After struggling a little, she heard Charles' voice coming from her ear.

"Write a letter for me, and deliver it to Duke Charles in person."

Charles slowly loosened his hand and looked at Avina in front of him.

"Charles..."

Avina was slightly stunned.

"Isn't Professor Ashford the one who has everyone's attention? No one in the pleasure club will know about Adele's situation..."

After Avina finished speaking, she looked at Charles in front of her without any movement, as if he was waiting for her explanation.

It can be seen that Avina doesn't seem to want to write a letter to her father, let alone go there in person.

She had accumulated a considerable amount of assets outside and was preparing to return to Ansu City to realize her grand plan of "hegemony". She wanted to rely on her own strength and management to prove to her father that she did not need to rely on other forces and could lead the family to stand firmly at the center of power and wealth.

Although the idea may be a bit naive, this is what Avina thinks.

Contacting his father shortly after returning made Avina feel like he had given in...which made her feel uncomfortable.

But this was Charles' request, and Avina didn't reject it outright. She just wanted to know the reason.

"There is one thing that requires the help of Duke Charles."

Charles looked at Avina in front of him without hiding anything.

"Without you, I would not have been able to gain the trust of Duke Charles."

"…Is it something important?"

Avina asked in a low voice.

Charles: "Yeah."

Avina: "Is it related to Adele's incident?"

Ciel: "It's about all of us."

Avina: "Life-threatening?"

Ciel: "It's imminent."

Avina was silent for a while. She was used to hearing things from Charles that were enough to scare people to death. Now, she probably thought that there was another difficulty in front of Charles.

"So...what happened to your hair just now?"

Avina asked the last question in her mind.

"If I said I was from the future... would you believe me?"

Charles looked at Avina in front of him and whispered:

"A Ciel who drank the 'Avenger' and 'Judge' potions in the future."

Avina looked into Charles' eyes and after a brief pause, she nodded - even though Charles' words seemed outrageous to anyone else.

"I trust you."

Avina walked to the desk, pulled out a drawer, took out letter paper, pen and ink, turned back to look at Charles and asked, "What do I need to write?"

Charles walked to Avina's side and told her word for word what she needed to write.

Avina listened to Charles' words and wrote quickly. Finally, she signed her name and stamped her seal on the wax.

"Do you need me to go with you?"

Avina held the envelope tightly and didn't hand it to Charles.

Avina was completely confused by what Charles had asked her to write just now.

The content of the letter did not mention any crisis or anything about Adele... Instead, it just asked Duke Charles to change the royal luncheon that was supposed to be held at Vitalis Palace tomorrow to Windsor Palace or Cecil House, and then allow Charles to take his men to Vitalis Palace.

No one could possibly know Charles's intention in doing this. These seemed to be ordinary things that were not worth mentioning. At least for Duke Charles, a 4th-level transcendent, they were not difficult problems, but only confusing.

Only Charles knew exactly why he needed to do this.
