Finally, at 8 AM on July 1st, just as Ciel was about to launch her plan, news finally ca from Avena’s side.
She had successfully advanced to “Psychologist.” But the price was that among the cultists sent over, only Gemma remained sane, successfully deprogramd.
Thus, she used a letter to set a ti with Avena, asking Avena to et her at five in the evening.
Eight in the evening was the arrival ti of her real self, but she had to execute the plan in advance.
This was to let her real self judge if the ti had advanced, if Avena was affected.
If the simulation ti advanced, it ant she died prematurely during the plan execution, indicating the plan failed.
After writing down her thoughts in the notebook, Ciel took the notebook, corpse, and clothes, and went all the way to the edge of Berren City.
Berren City was still constantly expanding at this ti. There were many half-built factories on the outskirts. The place Ciel was going was a factory under construction near Clock Tower Alley—it had been abandoned for quite so ti due to funding issues, sparsely populated, very suitable for so experints.
The previous “Coroner” advancent also took place here.
Ciel didn’t let Tara follow. In fact, if not for Avena’s advancent, Ciel wouldn’t want any connection with Tara at all.
But now it seed, under the circumstance of needing to help Avena obtain the “material” for the Reconstitution Ritual, contacting Tara was unavoidable.
It wasn’t raining today, just sowhat gloomy weather.
After bringing the items into the factory, Ciel directly used save file transformation, summoning the “Coroner” save file to descend.
As “Coroner” Ciel peeled off the spider silk that had turned into a hard shell, the corpse preserved inside was finally exposed, still fresh as if just deceased.
After Ciel released a spider that drilled into the corpse’s mouth, this modified and stitched corpse stood up again, changing clothes sowhat stiffly.
And Ciel shrank into a corner of the factory, took out her notebook and pen, and began carefully recording everything that happened next.
【Holy Year 741, July 1st, 13:00】
【I have restored activity to the corpse. Its throat seems problematic now, I’m adjusting... Hope nothing unexpected happens】
【I specifically asked Avena to arrive later, avoiding her directly seeing Spiritual Summoning or the Other Side—but I’m unsure if she will arrive early. After all, she doesn’t seem like soone who would be late; the possibility of arriving early is high. I will give you the exact ti then】
【Holy Year 741, July 1st, 14:11】
【Corpse finally adjusted, took quite so ti... This is the third ti transforming into “Coroner.” Honestly, this feeling of being able to use it freely without worrying about point deduction is quite nice】
【Corpse has changed clothes】
【Next, I will try making the corpse speak, luring out the quill pen】
【Each line, I will pause slightly. Later I will only write ti and line reaction. You can choose useful lines then, reducing ti】
【14:15】
【”Fate Renegade’s Touch,” “Contaminated Fate Renegade’s Touch” in Ansu and Old Ansu script.】
【No reaction】
【14:30】
【I controlled the corpse to recite a short essay in Old Ansu script, still no reaction... I even suspect the raven shadow isn’t even looking this way】
【15:20】
【The quill pen really appeared】
【Just use the language heard in the dream directly. Phonetically transliterated, it’s “Slade.” You should know which word I an】
【The quill pen kept stopping before the corpse... Next I will directly have the corpse say the words spoken during the final escape in the dream, then I will press the stopwatch, directly sacrifice my own fingers for capture... I might not be able to leave information next】
Click—
Ciel threw down the notebook in her hand, abruptly pressed the stopwatch, activating “Echo of the Silver-White Tibinder.”
She directly drew the carving knife from her bosom, instantly severing the four fingers of her left hand. Blood spurted from Ciel’s hand, turning into blood threads swirling on the ground.
After her fingers fell to the ground, they began burning rapidly. Simultaneously, a blood-red vortex appeared before Ciel.
Ciel looked up, focusing her gaze ahead.
Before her, the “woman” wearing luxurious red and gold clothes ran towards Ciel with a terrified expression, as if sothing was chasing her from behind.
And the quill pen circled around the “woman,” appearing very anxious.
Suddenly, the “woman” reached out towards the quill pen. Almost instinctively, the quill pen sealed artifact floated directly into the “woman’s” hand.
“**!” The “woman’s” body abruptly stopped. She forcefully threw the quill pen towards the blood-red vortex. Simultaneously, the “woman’s” waist seed to collapse, clothes tearing, flesh splattering. Her entire person, as if drained dry, rapidly beca thin and gaunt.
This was the scene Ciel designed, encountered previously in the dream.
Clearly, there were no ruins and flas around. Clearly, the “woman’s” face had obvious suture marks. But such a simple trick successfully deceived the ntally deranged raven shadow.
The quill pen, thrown towards the blood-red vortex, stopped abruptly in mid-air. Its body rapidly expanded, transforming into an illusory raven figure with a half-ter wingspan.
Its eyes were frantic. Spreading its wings, it emitted a tragic shriek, about to pounce towards the “woman.”
But just then, from the blood-red vortex, a terrifying large hand stretched out directly. With lightning speed, it directly grasped the quill pen, violently dragging it towards the blood-red vortex.
As the “woman” fell to the ground, the raven’s figure had also been completely pulled into the Other Side.
And Ciel, behind the blood-red vortex, reached out and directly picked up the notebook.
10 seconds had passed. Her hand had completely recovered.
【Plan very successful, it’s dragged into the Other Side】
【I’m going in too】
【Good luck to us】
Ciel placed the notebook and pen on the ground.
With a thought, a terrifying giant hand stretched out from the blood-red vortex, as if inviting. Ciel reached out, directly grasping one of its fingers.
Imdiately after, her entire person was dragged into the blood-red vortex.
