A joint execution was indeed the method that left Sherren with the least ability to resist—one person pinning him down, and another instantly shooting and executing him—and Charles's actions were as smooth as if they had been rehearsed.

Therefore, when Charles suggested that the Holy Order might be the mastermind behind Sherren's promotion, Avina would first consult Charles for his opinion.

"What about you? What are you going to do?"

Charles asked Avina in return.

Charles also wanted to know what actions Avina, or the Russell family behind Avina, would take after knowing these things.

After a brief thought, Avina said, "I will first send a secret letter to the church to remind them to investigate. If the church does not take any action within two days, I will choose to temporarily leave Buren City and go to Ansu."

At this point, Avina shook her head helplessly and said, "Things have developed to this point, and it's no longer something I can interfere with."

Report it first, and if it doesn't work, leave this dangerous place...

If it were Charles, he would probably make a similar choice.

But Charles will not wait. After submitting the letter of complaint, she will take Lizzie and flee from Burren City directly without waiting for two days to see the result.

After learning from Charles the breaking news that there were cultists hiding in Deton Manor, Avina said goodbye to Charles and left his guest room, leaving behind the "Sacrificial Relics" before leaving.

Avina doesn't seem to be too worried about being brainwashed by the cultists because she has the "Crown Guard" Nia protecting her 24 hours a day. If anything unexpected happens, Nia can just take Avina away.

Although it is not very powerful in combat, the "Crown Guard" is the best among all methods when it comes to protection. At least it is much more useful than the "Substitute Sacred Relics" which needs to be used actively.

After Avina left the room, Ciel opened the handbag containing five bottles of potions and looked through the recurrence ritual he had purchased.

Each organization has a different understanding of the reproduction ritual of each path of potion. They all compile it based on the experience of those who have successfully promoted. Although everyone's reproduction ritual has slight differences, the one that can be sold is definitely not the best solution with the highest success rate.

The truly best, or near-best solution, must be in the hands of large organizations with a large number of extraordinary people with the same path.

For example, most of the Russell family members follow the "Detective" path, so their "Detective" path promotion plan is definitely the result of optimization and summary after countless people's trial and error.

For example, the Savior Goddess Cult, their understanding of the "Acetic" path is definitely far superior to others, and their "Acetic" reproduction ritual is definitely the most formulaic plan with the highest success rate.

However, although both are on the "ascetic" path, the number of "missionaries" of the Holy Advent Church is far greater than that of the Savior Goddess Church. This shows that in the reappearance ceremony of the second-level "missionaries", the Savior Goddess Church did not discover, or did not use the optimal solution.

This is most likely because the Holy Advent Church has no taboos about missionary work. The "missionaries" of the Holy Advent Church can brainwash ordinary people or first-level extraordinary people unscrupulously without considering their feelings and the reputation of the church. They just need to make more people become fanatics.

After watching the five extraordinary paths' reappearance rituals, Charles frowned slightly.

Most of the recurrence rituals of these paths are not suitable for combination with Charles' plan.

Except for "Adventurer" and "Detective", the other three paths require drinking the potion in advance before starting to complete the reappearance ceremony.

For example, the "Blood Painter" must first drink the potion while being an ordinary person, and then create paintings and hold exhibitions while his mind is already polluted.

If more than three people become mentally ill or crazy after viewing the exhibition, the ritual is completed and the digestion is complete.

However, Charles guessed that this was not the optimal solution.

Ordinary people need to drink the potion and gain some abilities to create paintings that drive people insane.

But Ciel didn't need it. She could first use the [Pages of the Other World] to hide in the painting to make people mentally ill, and then find an opportunity to drink the potion.

However, there is a way that Charles may have already completed, or may be able to complete at any time.

The "Butcher" potion, after drinking it, dismember a first-level extraordinary person, or dismember ten ordinary people and hide the bodies for more than five years, the potion will be fully digested.

This potion was also one that Ciel thought he could drink after finishing it first.

Ordinary people are basically unable to defeat a first-level extraordinary person, let alone dismember him, so they must drink the potion first, but Charles has no such concerns.

Charles memorized all these rituals in his mind, and when he had the chance in the simulation, he would complete them. It would definitely be a good idea to practice rituals more often.

The most urgent task now is to complete the "Avenger" ritual so that when Charles faces the second-level extraordinary, he will not be completely powerless to resist.

Ciel took out his notebook and pencil from his old canvas bag, sat down at the table, and looked at the potion in front of him in deep thought.

The second-level reappearance ritual was not easy for Ciel.

A second-level heretic drank a potion during the trial, and then made a verdict...

Regardless of how to judge this heretic - after all, Charles does not believe in any religion - just catching a second-level one is not something Charles can do.

You have to find help in simulation.

At present, Charles has a relatively complete plan, and this plan only requires two simulations.

She first entered the archive of "Gambler", joined forces with Kitty as a cultist, captured Julis for trial, and helped Kitty clean up the Savior Goddess Cult and complete their original plan.

As long as there is no problem in the Holy Advent Church's identification of friend and foe, Charles can gain Kitty's trust by relying on the intelligence of the Savior Goddess Church.

After helping Kitty clean up the Church of the Savior, Charles directly entered the "Avengers" archive, used the information obtained from Kitty, told Julis everything, and took Julis to clean up the Holy Advent Society's lair, capture Kitty alive, and put her on trial.

Also, in the Avengers save file, Ciel can drink the potion directly after the verdict is pronounced.

If everything goes well, this method is the fastest way to complete the "Judge" reappearance ceremony and successfully advance.

The key to successfully executing the plan is to gain Kitty's trust by using the "Gambler" archive that has obtained the "Mark of Sardana".

This is not an easy task. Ciel is ready to waste a save file to figure out the contact method. Three simulations will result in 30 destiny points.

Ciel felt it was worthwhile to exchange 30 points for a successful promotion to a second-level "Judge", not to mention that he could continue to earn destiny points with each simulation.

Charles opened the simulation interface and checked the number of days for the simulation. The previous simulation had been done for more than a hundred days, which was passed by Charles. The number of days for the next simulation was a bit tricky, which was two days later.

【来日:2Day (圣741年6月22日15:05)(消耗10命定点)】

If possible, Charles still hoped that after an hour of simulation, there would not be so many variables, just like before.

But now, it is not impossible to simulate two days later, at least we can record more of what happened in these two days.

However, since you have decided to use the "Gambler" save file to enter the simulation, there is one more thing that is very important.

That is to solve the problem of "brainwashing".

That brainwashing was when the other party used a white shadow to control Charles to drink the potion, and when his mind was relatively weak against the potion, some kind of subconscious mark was implanted in Charles.

Ciel closed his eyes and briefly recalled how he felt at that time.

She did not feel that she was brainwashed, but she felt from the bottom of her heart that Kitty was very kind and her words were as warm as a mother's.

When the other person chanted "Mother Goddess Sardana" with herself, she felt a sense of joy throughout her body and soul, and felt that believing in the "Mother Goddess" was really great - even though she had no idea what the "Mother Goddess" was.

If nothing unexpected happens, once you enter that save file, you will simultaneously enter this brainwashed state.

By then, I might not be able to control myself. Let alone look at my notes, my mind might be full of thoughts about how to contact the organization and how to help it. I would not know what happened until I woke up 24 hours later.

This requires perfect coordination between the self in the middle stage of the simulation and the current self...

Charles picked up his pen and wrote in Chinese on his notebook.

[I believe you are already familiar with the information collection process, so I don’t need to elaborate on it.]

[I need you to keep "Gambler" Charles awake after we get there. I can't think about this myself.]

If it were my idea, "Gambler" Charles would also have memories, but with your idea, she wouldn't have any memories.

[I need you to help me control the "Gambler" Ciel, use the "Substitute Hallows" to pierce her body in a way she can't refuse, collect her blood, and wake her up.]

[Gambler Charles will arrive at 22: on the nd]

[Hurry up and don't let her resist]

Best wishes

Charles put down his pencil, carefully read what he had written, confirmed that it was correct, and directly opened the simulation interface.

Now she could no longer think about how to wake up the "gambler" Charles. If she thought of a method, the method that Charles in the simulation would think of would be similar. After all, they were the same person.

"Today, No. 3."

A blinding silver light flashed before Ciel's eyes. As her destiny points dropped from 64 to 54, her consciousness gradually faded away...

【Coming to Japan】

【圣741年6月22日15:05】

[Countdown - 23:59:59]

As soon as he opened his eyes, Charles heard buzzing and whispering in his head, but he could not see anything in front of him.

Ciel could feel her sitting on the chair, but she couldn't move her legs.

Her hands and feet seemed to be tied behind her back, but the binding was very loose and could be freed with just a little effort.

"Mother Goddess..."

Ciel sighed subconsciously, as if just this light exclamation could bring her strength.

whoosh-

There was a sound of breaking wind, and Charles quickly wanted to put his hands in front of his eyes, but he was blocked by the binding and couldn't reach out directly.

laugh--

As a sharp pain came from his lower abdomen, Charles' body arched like a shrimp and fell to the ground with the stool.

She exerted force suddenly, ripped the ropes that bound her back, and then reached out to pull off the blindfold tied in front of her eyes.

But at this moment, she felt her spirit and consciousness being pulled away, and she entered into endless darkness.

The severe pain disappeared in an instant, and there was no sound in my ears, and the mumbling in my mind also disappeared without a trace.

what happened?

Mother God bless...

Before Charles' consciousness could stay in this space for long, she felt a sense of being pulled away again.

Her consciousness returned to her body, along with severe pain and mumbling in her head.

Ok?

Charles raised his hand and pulled off the blindfold, seeing everything in his eyes.

She was not in the room in Avina's house, but in an unfamiliar room.

Looking at the size and layout, it feels like a hotel room.

She looked down towards the source of the pain, and only then did Ciel realize that she was now topless.

She saw an arrow stuck in her lower abdomen, with the tip of the arrow tied to the "Salvator's Relic" in the shape of an exquisite cage. At this time, half of the Salvator's Relic was sunk into her lower abdomen, and the blood flowing out could not extinguish the purple flame on it.

Charles' legs were tied to the chair with ropes, which were wrapped very tightly, but the knot was at the top, and the rope could be easily untied with a slight pull.

You can tell at first glance that it was wrapped by yourself.

She stood up shakily, holding the arrow in her abdomen, and saw several bottles of medicine and bandages placed in the direction she was lying. There were slogans like "Pain Relief", "Disinfection", "External Application" and "Oral Administration" written on white paper in front of the medicine.

Looking further ahead, there is a short cabinet. On the cabinet is a simple launching device modified from a crossbow. The short arrow that pierced his lower abdomen was shot from there. There are also a few candles behind the modified crossbow that just burn on the crossbow bow.

No... Can't you let Avina stab me with the "Death Substitute" when the time is almost up?

Why is it so cruel? I am also yourself!

Charles pulled out the short arrow from his abdomen, held the blood-soaked and burning Hallows in his hand, and treated his wound according to the order of the previous slogans.

After applying the medicated bandage and binding the wound, the pain in Charles' lower abdomen was almost gone.

I still have a conscience and kept all the medicine.

After Charles put on the clothes prepared on the bed, he walked to the crossbow and saw the notebook under the crossbow.

She was full of doubts.

These potions were obviously made by Adele, but why didn't she let Adele help directly? And where was Avina? Shouldn't he be staying at her house?

Could it be that he felt that both Adele and Avina were being watched, and so he chose not to spend too much time in the simulation?

Probably.

Ciel opened the notebook and looked at the contents inside.

Chapter 68: The cult leader Charles.

June 741, 6 AD, 20:5 PM

Avina took the intelligence I gave her very seriously. She realized that both she and Adele had been exposed to the Holy Advent Church. She decided to contact Adele secretly and ask her to come over to discuss a solution together.

[I saw the subsystem and knew it was a simulation, so I didn't interfere with Avina's actions and just waited to see how things would develop.]

To avoid involving ordinary people, Avina still didn't recall the other servants. I could only make her another meal. Although it was just a simple stew, she still ate it with great satisfaction.
