Miss Witch's Speed ​​Run Manual

It is said that criminals like to return to the crime scene. Charles didn't believe it at first, but now she does.

Up to this point, everything recorded in the notebook was normal.

Ciel flipped through the pages one by one until she came to one of the events. She stopped reading, turned back to the previous few pages, and frowned slightly.

Chapter 6000: No Escape from Doom (-word chapter)

Words like "bad luck" and "bad luck" appear too frequently in the notes.

Ciel wasn't one to complain about "luck" often.

If something goes wrong unexpectedly, Charles will only think that he did not think it through carefully, and will think about where he can improve and do better to reduce the probability of the same situation happening next time.

But when she looks at her own experience in the simulation, even now she can still see through the text how unfortunate she was at that time.

On the evening of June 6, on the way to the banquet hall, Nia's horse lost control and crashed into Charles along with the carriage. Although she dodged in time, her shin bone was still broken. She had to rest at Adele's place for several days and was unable to attend the banquet.

Avina told her everything about the banquet.

Not only that, every few days, unexpected misfortunes would happen to the simulated self.

These included, but were not limited to, the aging and falling apart of the antique crystal chandelier in Avina's home, the near-stabbing of a knife thrown from an upstairs quarrel, and stray bullets from gang street brawls...

These were all low-probability, trivial events, but they almost caused fatal harm to Charles.

Fortunately, with [Prophet's Vision], Charles can dodge most of the disasters. However, if he dodges too many of them, it seems that some guaranteed catastrophe will be triggered, forcing himself in the simulation to use the save transformation to avoid it.

Not only Charles, but even Avina and the others noticed this abnormality.

But no matter how they checked, they couldn't find out what was wrong with Charles.

There was no curse, no trace of supernatural powers, and even Charles himself had never come into contact with other supernatural beings.

It's as if these disasters were just pure bad luck.

Avina did propose an idea.

The next level of "Gambler", the second-level "Doomsday Messenger", will experience this situation when digesting the potion.

However, the "Messenger of Doom" has to resist "doom" by himself, or use his own "doom" to trap the enemy when the distance is very close. He cannot inflict additional doom on others from a long distance.

But when Charles encountered misfortune those days, there were no extraordinary people around him.

At first, Charles's target of suspicion was the third-level "Destiny" sent by the Deton Group, but the most crucial thing was that the "Destiny" did not know Charles at all, and Charles did not attend the dinner that day.

According to the information Adele obtained from her sister Julis, the "Scheduled One" has been busy investigating clues about Deton Manor and has even hired several "detectives" to help.

Avina also got the same answer by asking the "detectives" who were connected with the Russell family - the "destined one" Commissioner Lucy was busy in the manor and had never left the manor except on the day of the dinner.

In the simulation, Charles guessed that this "misfortune" must be related to his "destined death" and that he was the murderer who pushed the future simulation closer step by step.

But what is the source of this "bad luck"?

Ciel continued to turn the pages, feeling somewhat down.

Just looking at the words made her feel a little depressed.

Every day is like being on the set of Final Destination. Even drinking water is accompanied by the worry of choking to death. In this situation, she still has to investigate the source of her bad luck.

Just like that, after experiencing several terrible misfortunes, Avina couldn't stand it anymore, so she advised Charles to try leaving Burren City.

Knowing that there would not be much progress if he continued to stay in Buren City, Charles in the simulation decided to follow the original plan and take his sister away from Buren City to Ansu to see if leaving Buren City could eliminate the impact of this bad luck.

After seeing the last page of notes she had read before, Ciel was still confused, which forced her to turn back to the first page and start studying again.

This time, Ciel did not bring himself into the simulation, but instead watched from the perspective of an observer.

She tore off a piece of paper and made a fishbone-shaped mind map with time as the main line. All the things that happened in the notes were sorted by date, and key points were marked on the days when she encountered "bad luck".

Just like that, a clear thread of time and events appeared before Charles' eyes.

The timeline was straightened out, but Charles was still confused about the triggering conditions of "doom".

The arrival of "doom" came without any warning.

Whether lying at home or going out to investigate, bad luck follows him like a shadow, and the more time passes, the more terrifying the disaster will be.

Moreover, this is a misfortune that cannot be solved even if you leave the city of Burren.

Just like just now, Charles boarded the train leaving the city of Burren. There was no other extraordinary person on the train, including her.

However, even in this situation, a huge disaster still occurred, causing Charles to exhaust all his destiny points in the simulation and fall into a state of imminent death.

If I hadn't come, this death would have been inevitable.

Ciel tapped the table with the pencil in her hand. After a while, she changed her mind and marked the disasters that forced her to use her destiny points and the days without disasters, and compared them.

Great disaster...

brush brush --

Charles wrote on the paper with a pencil in his hand, grading his own disasters.

Levels 1-3 correspond to [Avoid Disaster], [Minor Injury], and [Destiny Points] respectively.

The number of times disasters have been avoided is relatively large, sometimes several disasters can be avoided in a day, and the number of level 1 disasters in the entire timeline is also the most.

Starting from the Level 2 [Minor Injury] disaster, there is a certain pattern.

The first minor injury occurred when he was preparing to go to a dinner party on the evening of June 6. He was completely unprepared and his shin bone was broken while he was trying to avoid a warhorse.

The second time was when the royal family member came to have dinner with Avina. The antique crystal chandelier fell off, and when Charles rushed to the side, his fingers and arms hit the ground in the wrong direction, dislocating his fingers and breaking his forearm.

The following times basically correspond to when Charles is about to meet some extraordinary people.

At level 3, the pattern is even more obvious for serious injuries that can only be avoided by using destiny points.

These events all happened when Charles was about to investigate the "Destined One", when he encountered the most loyal cultist of the Holy Advent Sect, and when he was about to drink the potion. A total of 11 times.

These are all related to the third level, or moments that are likely to change one's destiny.

On the other hand, look back at those moments that you marked yourself and did not encounter misfortune.

Charles gradually figured out a general pattern.

Although this rule is not very accurate and there are several misfortunes and disasters that cannot be matched, it can roughly correspond to some of the disasters.

That is extraordinary.

All the misfortunes happened when he came into contact with the supernatural - but it could not explain why Charles also encountered misfortune when he left the city of Burren and other supernatural forces.

And this time, at least four or five hundred people died on that steam train.

"Ugh……"

Ciel sighed.

The sample size was too small, and there was only one experiment, which did not take into account the existence of other variables. This gave Charles a headache.

She raised her hand to rub her temple, then picked up her pen and wrote down a few names.

Deton Group: Lucy Hirufa.

Redemption Society: Professor Ashford.

Cult of the Savior Goddess: Hugh.

Royal Family: Opold Thaddeus.

Adventist sect: Archbishop Tara.

These names are all people who actively contacted Charles in the simulation during the investigation, and their contact caused huge disasters.

Now, since leaving Burren City would also bring disaster, Charles must go back and investigate thoroughly.

In this simulation, Charles must focus on investigating these people, perhaps he can find some clues from them.

I have to get back to Buren City as soon as possible... I don't have much time left to investigate...

In the previous simulation, I also had the task of "survival".

But now that I don't have the "survival" mission, I can conduct the investigation more freely without worrying about being exposed.

Charles picked up a few rolls of money, and after taking one, she prepared to go out directly to see if there were any townspeople awake. She needed to buy a carriage and return to the city of Burren as quickly as possible.

Just as Charles reached the door and was about to raise her hand, the wooden door opened in her sight and a bullet hovered in front of her eyes.

Charles: "..."

Ciel's hand on the door handle paused.

The bad luck...is not over yet.

This was the vision brought to her by [Prophet's Vision]. Just now, Charles did not hide the sound of his footsteps, and was heard by someone outside the door.

A black shadow emerged from under Charles' feet and slipped through the crack in the door to get out.

"Ugh..."

"Well--!"

"cough……"

A few painful noises were heard outside the door. Charles slowly turned the doorknob and looked outside.

Outside the door were three men and women in dirty clothes. One of them was holding a badly worn black small revolver, and the other two were holding daggers.

They had been lying in ambush in front of the hotel for some time.

Although their faces were covered with cloth, Charles still recognized that one of the women holding a dagger was a waitress in this small hotel.

Their bodies were completely frozen in place, and the kerosene lamps on the wall illuminated their terrified expressions in front of Charles' eyes.

Behind the kerosene lamp, three burning black shadows were crawling beside their shadows, and the burning chains in their hands had completely bound their shadows' limbs.

"Can I have a word with you?"

A faint smile appeared on Charles' face, and the smile on her beautiful face, these two seemingly beautiful things mixed together, brought them a fear that was like driving them crazy.

The three of them walked forward stiffly. Charles looked back and confirmed that Lizzie was still sleeping soundly. Then he gently closed the door and followed the three of them.

When they went down to the first floor of the hotel, the owner was no longer at the front desk. Charles followed them to the deserted lot behind the hotel.

Charles looked at the three people kneeling before him, then at the one holding the gun, and asked, "Who sent you here?"

“Ah!! Ugh…”

As soon as his throat was slightly loosened, the man let out a terrible scream, but the next second, his throat was instantly tightened, and his eyeballs almost popped out of his wide-open eyes.

The rattling sound of his bones made the two people beside him even more frightened. Charles looked at the woman holding the knife and asked, "Who sent you here? Just answer my questions."

"Don't make any other noise."

The fear of the three people made the mumbling in Charles' mind louder, and a restless emotion surged in Charles' chest, causing the flames burning on the three black shadows to become even stronger.

"Cough cough..."

The woman's throat relaxed a little. After coughing for a while, she spoke tremblingly, "Sir, sir... It wasn't my idea. It was all his. He said he saw the money in your bag. I just brought them to your room. I was threatened!!!"

Can you still hold a dagger in your hand when you are threatened?

"Uh-huh!!!!"

After hearing what the woman said, the other two men struggled more obviously. It was obvious that the facts were not as she said.

A spur of the moment idea...

Ciel sighed softly...another unexpected disaster.

According to my own classification, it should be considered a predictable level 1 disaster without any damage.

"Is there any place around here that sells horse carriages, or rents them?"

Ciel slowed his tone slightly and said, "I need to rent a carriage."

Hearing Charles' tone slow down, the woman was on the verge of tears. She tried her best to lower her voice and said, "The stable... There's a carriage and a horse in the stable. I'll give them to you, right away! They stole them and haven't sold them yet, so no one will know!"

"Ah."

Ciel nodded and turned to leave.

Behind her, there was a dull sound of a knife stabbing into the body.

Three, two... zero...
