【Reality】
【Saint Year 741, June 20, 16:22】
【Evaluation: Woo~ Perfect coordination!】
【Sacrificing all Divine Advent Church mbers in Berren City in one go, then torturing and killing a third-tier “Radiance Bishop”—the timing of everything was perfectly coordinated, as if practiced nurous tis... Oh, right, it was practiced nurous tis】
【Honestly, just do it like that on the 23rd! Go tell all the organizations you did it! You’ll instantly beco a superstar, a great hero! Even the wheelchair-bound Bishop of the Church of the Savior Goddess would have to stand up and toast you!】
【Take it, you deserve this based on your performance.】
【Reward: Fate Points × 50, 【Mage Hunter Lv.1】, 【Nesis Lv.1】】
【Fate Points: 193】
【Mage Hunter: Passive Ability. All your body’s stats have received a very small boost, giving you the possibility of hunting those who consu potions bare-handed.】
【Nesis: Passive Ability. People you killed in the simulation will feel slight fear towards you in reality. The more tis they were killed, the deeper the level of fear felt.】
“Hahh—” Leaning back on the sofa, Ciel opened her eyes and took a deep breath.
She raised her hand towards the right side of her head, feeling only dry, soft hair, no wounds or bloodstains.
Even after dying so many tis, Ciel still couldn’t get used to the pain of death.
Although, “getting used to death” was already an abstract concept in itself.
Ciel slowly closed her eyes, reviewing all the details from the simulation just now.
The Bishop arrived slightly late at the underground sanctuary, around 13:02. This was normal, as Ciel had encountered him at 13:01 in the stone spiral corridor.
Perhaps due to the sacrifice, he hesitated at the door for a mont but still chose to enter.
This was the key to the successful implentation of Ciel’s plan.
Ciel ignored the system panel before her and sat quietly on the sofa for three minutes, confirming she hadn’t inherited the “Temporal Disorder” negative effect after returning to reality, before opening her eyes again.
The system panel appeared before Ciel. She re-examined the abilities she had obtained.
Ciel had already trained herself to basically skip the system’s comnts after a quick glance; they were mostly aningless drivel, not worth paying attention to.
Killing a third-tier “Radiance Bishop” for the first ti yielded very generous rewards, bringing her Fate Point balance directly to 193.
The richest she’d ever been.
However, possibly because so individuals were killed repeatedly, the reward points weren’t even as high as those from advancing to “Judicator.”
Although the points were fewer, she at least got two new abilities.
Besides that, she obtained two new passive abilities.
One was 【Mage Hunter】, which enhanced all her physical stats, and the other was 【Nesis】, whose effects were still unknown.
She had killed quite a number of people in the simulations, so many that Ciel herself couldn’t quite rember who she had killed how many tis.
So people might have died directly or indirectly at Ciel’s hands several tis, yet Ciel didn’t even know their nas.
Like the church square explosion in a previous simulation, she wondered if those deaths counted towards her tally.
This troubled Ciel slightly...
It was a passive ability Ciel couldn’t actively turn off. If this continued, would it reach a point where people would just glance at her on the street and be scared witless?
Apart from not injecting knowledge into them, how different was this from the evil gods imagined by those cultists?
However, Ciel wasn’t overly worried about this.
The people she repeatedly killed were those who deserved to die. Even in reality, they would be dealt with by her sooner or later. The 【Nesis】 skill probably wouldn’t significantly impact Ciel’s life.
Ciel closed the reward interface and opened the system shop.
There was one particularly important item she had to redeem.
Rows of redeemable items appeared before Ciel. Compared to the previously empty shop, it was now filled with a pile of useful and useless things. The previously non-functional category list finally ca in handy.
Ciel clicked sort by ti, selected the most recent simulation, and a filtered list appeared before her.
Ignoring irrelevant options like clothes, skirts, and underwear, Ciel’s gaze focused on three items, her expression gradually becoming puzzled.
【【’Letter to Myself’ (Ciel)】】
【Fate Points: 1】
【【943ml Blood (Ciel)】】
【Fate Points: 10】
【【Sadhana Emblem】】
【Fate Points: 20】
To avoid being influenced by the “Instigator” potion into causing trouble everywhere and wasting her already depleted ntal energy, Ciel had chosen suicide after obtaining all the necessary information.
Compared to earning more Fate Points, Ciel was more worried about pulling so outrageous stunt under the potion’s influence.
However, her simulated self seed to have left her a letter and blood. She wasn’t sure what the purpose was.
Moreover, Ciel had no idea where the blood and letter were kept on her person. Surely not sewn into her body... right?
Or perhaps ingested?
Thinking about it, that indeed sounded like sothing the “Instigator” might do.
Her simulated self probably knew she wouldn’t have much ti to check ssages, so she hid them in an envelope inside her body.
After hesitating for a mont, Ciel decided to redeem the envelope anyway.
1 Fate Point wasn’t a huge amount for her now. Even converted to su pounds, it was only 125, which Ciel could easily afford.
Plus, there was nearly two units of her own blood. This made Ciel think her simulated self had left so important information.
With a thought, Ciel’s Fate Point balance dropped from 193 to 192.
A silver light flashed, and a clean, beautiful pale blue envelope appeared in her hand.
Ciel broke the seal and unfolded the letter paper, seeing the content written in Chinese.
【Saint Year 741, too lazy to write the rest】
【After instigating those cultists, there was nothing else to do】
【Since I was idle anyway, I started experinting with so interesting things】
【I always felt spiritual summoning was too troubleso. Not only chanting to guide the blood array, but also waiting for the Other Side gate to open. If you were really in combat, there’s no way you’d have ti to summon any spiritual being】
【Plus, powerful spiritual beings might drain your own blood dry... which is fatal during combat】
【Anyway, the exchange area had plenty of materials, so I just started ssing around】
【I actually discovered so interesting things】
【A key step in spiritual summoning is my own blood. But this blood, even blood drawn earlier, can be used for sacrifice. As long as it’s mine, it works】
【I used “Echo” to draw several buckets of my blood then rewinded. Even after the blood coagulated into clots, it could still be used for sacrifice】
【I left so blood clots in the waist pouch, about 1000g, one standard unit. You can see how many points it costs to redeem】
【Later, I experinted with those buckets of blood. Sacrificing the sa item, the first ti I normally summoned a small monster. The second ti, I used my heated fresh blood to draw the recorded blood array myself】
【Guess what?】
【A pre-drawn blood array can also be used—it’s just that each summonable creature corresponds to different offerings and blood arrays. Recording all of them would be a massive undertaking】
【I tried scaling down the blood array proportionally, fitting it onto a piece of parchnt. Unfortunately, the small blood array drawn on parchnt had no effect】
【The rest of the letter is a list of all cultists in Berren City】
【If you’re seeing this in a simulation, you don’t need to read the last page】
【—Love,】
【Ciel (^_^)】
