The antidote he made has already been widely distributed by the Cult of the Goddess of Savior. It's time to try to digest the "Plague Doctor" potion...

At this time, Charles was observing Adele by the window. She didn't look away until Adele's figure disappeared at the end of the street. Then she looked at the potion bag in front of her.

You definitely can't drink this sedative directly now. You have to wait until the crisis is over.

This was the early stage of the "Touch of Treasonous Fate" seal locking down the three of them. The other two would definitely continue to make mistakes and bring themselves to suffer the same fate.

She had to be prepared to deal with it and couldn't just fall asleep, otherwise she would die in her sleep.

Moreover, the next simulation will be held in seven days, which is a really good timing.

If everything goes well, Charles will be able to work out a plan to resolve everything within 7 days, keeping all variables to a minimum.

Ciel didn't want to enter the simulation without being fully prepared.

Chapter 128: Ciel in the simulation.

Charles was half wrapped in his windbreaker, lying on the desk with his eyes closed.

Suddenly, Charles, who was in a light sleep, felt a sensation as if he was falling from a high altitude. His body trembled violently and he woke up with a start.

Her knee accidentally hit the bottom of the desk, and the whole table shook. The small candlestick on the table lost its balance and fell to the side, about to spill the wax onto the table.

But Charles fell faster than it did, and as if by instinct, he reached out to hold on to the candlestick.

The candle on the candlestick, which was only a short piece left, did not fall over, but some of the wax inside that had been melted by the flame and had not yet solidified poured directly onto the back of Charles' hand.

The stinging and burning sensations woke Charles, who was not asleep to begin with, completely. After straightening the candlestick, she calmly stood up and walked to the bathroom, washing the solidified wax on the back of her hands with tap water.

A minute later, Charles returned to his room with the back of his hand red. He took out his pocket watch out of habit and looked at the time.

Two o'clock in the morning...

From the time Adele left until now, Charles's intermittent sleep lasted for almost seven hours.

In another sense, sleep is very regular. I will be awakened by various strange dreams every 20-30 minutes, but I can't remember the content of the dream every time. I just feel my brain is in a daze.

However, this feeling was slightly relieved during the next few sleeps.

Combined with the extra mental recovery that [Calm Thinking] brought to Ciel, she now felt that her spirit had almost recovered.

Charles looked at the "Endless Manual of Forgetting Everything After Reading" in the system warehouse, confirmed the contents once again, and took it out directly.

She modified some of the content.

The body still needs to be found, and the woman in Quill's memory still needs to be stitched together.

However, the difference this time is that drawing out the quill and dragging it into the other world to retrieve the uniqueness will no longer be done by Ciel himself.

Instead, it is the Charles in the simulation who will directly complete all the target plans.

Now, Charles values ​​his mental health more than his practical experience.

If the simulated self completely collapses because of this plan and doesn't survive until 7 p.m. on July 1st, it means that Charles must optimize his ideas.

Now that her destiny points were 187, there was no need for her to do anything particularly dangerous just to save 10 destiny points.

You just have to work hard on your simulated self.

After completely revising the plan, Charles placed the "Endless Manual of Forgetting Everything After Viewing" in the system warehouse, and then confirmed the contents again through the warehouse icon.

The first goal is to find a safe time period to allow yourself to recover with tranquilizers.

The second goal is to find a way to help Avina get promoted.

The third goal is to elicit the quill without killing Lucy and Opold.

The fourth goal is to extract the uniqueness from the quill without exposing any information.

"Um……"

Ciel nodded.

Finding a safe time period and helping Avina get promoted have both been elevated to top priorities.

Because if these two goals can be achieved, it will greatly relieve Charles' current mental stress.

Come on, I in the simulation...

"Today."

"No. 4."

The system screen flashed white light and disappeared from Charles' sight.

Charles was still sitting there. There was no change in the candles or the placement of objects around her, and she did not feel any power or muttering related to the "coroner".

After a moment of silence, Charles opened the system's simulation interface.

The familiar system screen appeared in front of Ciel. Her destiny points were still 187, but the text on the simulation interface had been completely distorted, emitting a strange aura.

Just click and you will enter the deep simulation.

She opened the system warehouse, and the endless manuals in the warehouse showed the goals she had to accomplish.

So, is this what it feels like to be “your simulated self”?

This is all for what or the whole family.

Damn it, my real self.

Ciel uttered the same sigh that his "simulated self" had probably uttered countless times before.

……

Ciel took out his notebook and began writing on it.

[Year 741, June 6, 25: AM]

[From now on, I will record the time period when I did not encounter any bad luck. You can adjust it to a longer time to use tranquilizers and recover your spirit.]

Charles closed the notebook and put it, a dip pen and a bottle of ink into the potion bag Adele gave him, then buckled the potion bag on his belt.

Since the real self has already wasted a lot of time and slept for seven hours, there are less than seven days left for the simulated self.

A total of 162 hours, which is a little more than six and a half days.

It is best not to have any contact with the supernatural in the first two days to avoid affecting the "finding of a safe time period". This is the most important thing.

Now, Charles actually hoped that the "safe period" would arrive later, so that he wouldn't have to carry out those last two dangerous actions...

Of course, this is just a thought.

The success or failure of a matter is directly related to one's own survival in reality, and one cannot afford to be careless.

The only thing we can do now, without involving any supernatural investigation, is probably to search for the body.

This can be done by writing a letter to Avina directly. Even if Avina in the simulation has noticed something, as long as the method of obtaining the corpse is known, the real self can directly bypass Avina and obtain the corpse directly.

If you really can't find a suitable corpse, you can only try to contact Tara. There are many ordinary people among the cultists, so there should be no shortage of suitable corpses.

After determining his target, Charles started writing the letter directly. However, if he wanted to wait for a reply, he would probably have to wait until tomorrow morning.

It's a good opportunity to record the time from now until morning to see if I can get 8 hours of safe time. According to Adele's description, the effect of the sedative she left behind can last for 6 hours, plus a 2-hour margin, which should be enough to meet the needs of recovering spirits.

After waking up the maid across the street and asking her to pass on the message, Ciel returned to his room and began to try to sleep.

There may be a lot of things she needs to do later, and the more her spirit recovers, the better.

Her real self would definitely be able to get enough rest during the "safe time" she found. If she could recover more mentally, the simulation results would be closer to her real-life state of full mental strength.

After recording everything he had done in his notebook, Charles blew out the candle and continued to sleep at his desk.

After almost five hours of intermittent listening, I finally felt that I had returned to the hospital.

Charles, who hadn't fallen asleep completely, got up and walked downstairs.

After opening the door, she saw two maids standing at the door, holding Avina's reply letter in their hands.

"Thanks……"

After Charles thanked him, he reached out to close the door.

But at this moment, one of the maids couldn't help but ask, "Ms. Charles, are you okay? You look a little pale..."

"I?"

Ciel felt that he had recovered about 70% to 80% of his mental strength and said, "Not bad. Thank you for your concern."

After politely thanking the maid for her concern, Charles closed the wooden door and walked into the room with the envelope.

After opening the envelope, Charles took out the letter written to him by Avina.

As expected, in the letter, Avina mentioned that Adele came to her house last night with medical equipment and asked about her physical condition.

Apparently, out of concern that Charles might have some unspeakable secrets, Avina did not suggest that she would come over as well. Instead, she only said in the letter that she would go to Adele to find out the situation.

Although she sometimes behaves a little childishly, Avina is still mature and sensible beyond her age. At least as long as she is sure that Charles is safe, she will not cause trouble for him.

At the end of the letter, after introducing Charles to a tailor who made clothes, Avina also began to tell Charles how to obtain the corpse.

Avina was not unfamiliar with the "Coroner's" re-enactment ritual process.

After learning that it was not Charles himself who had to digest the "Coroner" potion, Avina told her in the letter how to obtain the corpse.

In fact, Avina's family has cooperated with many "coroners" because they have the ability to "pry open the mouths of corpses", which is very helpful for the "detective" to digest.

Moreover, in order to prevent some people from creating corpses and causing more deaths in order to digest the "Coroner" potion, the Russell family actually condoned the trade of corpses of death row prisoners in some prisons.

Since it is impossible to cut off the circulation of the "Coroner" potion and the reproduction ritual from the source, this method can only be used to reduce the possible murders.

In addition to this information, Avina also gave Charles a letter of recommendation, but the letter was not signed by Avina herself, but by an official from the Burren City Police Department.

It seems that Avina herself doesn't want to be involved in the corpse trade.

However, this made things convenient for Charles. At least when she took out the letter of recommendation in reality, she didn't have to explain how she got it from Avina, and Avina probably wouldn't even notice the existence of the letter.

Ciel glanced at the time.

It was seven in the morning, only five hours after two in the morning.

She decided to wait another three hours, until ten o'clock, before going out. In this way, she would have found eight hours of "safe time".

This is both a good thing and a bad thing.

The good thing is that the real me can drink the potion and go to sleep peacefully, but the bad thing is that the simulated me has to do something more dangerous.

After using this time to try to sleep for a while, Charles opened his eyes around ten o'clock.

She glanced at the time, then took out a notepad and wrote down the eight hours of safe time she had explored.

Then, she put the notebook and pen into the mixture bag, took the letter of recommendation from Avina, called a carriage, and rushed to the Burren City Prison.

Because she had a letter of recommendation, she easily entered the prison and was received by the warden. After learning about Charles' purpose, he took Charles to an interrogation room.

Charles did not enter the interrogation room, but was in a small compartment next door.

There are two peepholes in the compartment, which allow people inside the compartment to see what is happening in the interrogation room, while it is difficult for people in the interrogation room to notice the eyes observing here.

In this era without one-way glass, this is also a good way to protect privacy. After all, some people may not want their appearance to be remembered by death row inmates due to religious beliefs or personal reasons.

At Charles' request, many female death row prisoners were brought in one by one.

There were about twenty of them, but most of them were skinny and severely malnourished.

Most of these women were convicted of murder, while a few were convicted of infanticide, treason and illegal abortion.

None of them were executed immediately, but their bodies were sold by the prison.

After looking around, Charles didn't see any particularly good options. He just barely wrote down a few numbers and left the prison.

In fact, the female thief who wanted to rob a house before met Charles' needs. If he couldn't find a suitable corpse, Charles would have to try to give her plastic surgery himself.

Anyway, the skin and other things can be taken from other tender parts of her body and sewn on her. All that is needed is to polish the bone shape.

In the following time, Charles found the address of the tailor that Avina left for her, and she brought her own abstract design drawings.

Avina recommended an old tailor who used to specialize in making dresses for nobles and once had a nice shop and family in Ansu.

However, when she was old, she still had not saved enough money to buy a house in a good location in Ansu, so she took her husband and son back to her hometown, Bolun City, and bought a few houses. She occasionally took some tailoring orders to satisfy her itch.

The old lady lives near the gem processing factory in the Gem District. The security there is better than in the Bell Tower Lane area, and the housing prices are not as expensive as those near Gem Avenue.

The most important thing is that you can buy some scraps from the gem processing factory at a low price from the small vendors over there. Collecting gems is one of the old lady’s few hobbies now.
