Ciel slowly walked to the office desk and leaned against it. She thought back to her encounter with Avena just now.
If she could have called Avena for help, Nia would definitely have taken action. With Ciel assisting, arresting Fred would have been a sure thing with a complete preemptive strike. There would have been no accidents.
It was a pity that at this point in the Past Days, Avena didn’t know her at all. Ciel didn’t even know how to quickly convince Avena to help her… Avena was very cautious.
Also, with the possibility of Sherlon releasing poison, Avena or Nia might also be attacked by poison gas. This was a situation Ciel didn’t want to see.
After weighing the options, Ciel still didn’t choose to ask Avena for help.
For the matter of checking for poison, she would just find Kitty.
After about seven or eight minutes, a white shadow flickered at the office door. Kitty’s figure appeared at the door and knocked on the half-open door.
“Co in.” Ciel said.
Kitty, out of breath, pushed open the door and said to Ciel with her head lowered, “Lord Bishop, the transcendents still at Deton Manor have assembled.”
“Okay.”
Ciel slightly nodded. Then she thought for a mont and said, “Do you have a list of potions in the underground collection room? Let see it.”
“Yes, Lord Bishop.”
Although Kitty didn’t know what Ciel was going to do, she quickly walked to the office desk with her head lowered, bent down, and pulled out today’s material list and item details from a drawer.
“Please take a look, Lord Bishop.”
Kitty held the form in both hands and handed it to Ciel.
Ciel took the form and quickly scanned it.
“Adventurer”…
“Blood Painter”…
“Ascetic”…
“Listener”…
Besides the paths she already had save files for, naly “Butcher,” “Assassin,” “Detective,” and “Coroner,” these were the only paths left at Deton Manor that Ciel hadn’t saved yet.
Ciel needed to drink a potion to slightly increase her strength for the upcoming action and also make a save file.
“Listener” and “Ascetic” were not suitable for combat. Ciel wasn’t sure if she had completed the “Blood Painter” ritual…
From what she could see now, the most suitable path for her was “Adventurer.”
“Get a bottle of the best ‘Adventurer’ potion.” Ciel placed the form aside and said.
“Yes.”
Kitty didn’t hesitate. Her figure flickered slightly and then disappeared, leaving only a white shadow in place. But soon, the white shadow also dissipated.
Within 30 seconds, Kitty’s shadow appeared at the door again. She respectfully knocked on the door. After receiving Ciel’s permission, she ca in, holding a tray with both hands.
It was a bottle of red potion…
Scarlet thunderclouds rolled in the bottle. One could even see the incandescent electric light through the thunderclouds.
Ciel had already seen the “Adventurer” potion and the “Gambler” potion before and knew they behaved very similarly. However, compared to the calmly rolling black and blue thunderclouds of the “Gambler,” the “Adventurer” seed more volatile.
Ciel reached out and picked up the bottle of potion. She directly pulled out the stopper in front of Kitty and drank it in one gulp.
Scarlet thunderclouds rolled down Ciel’s throat. One could even feel the light and lightning inside through Ciel’s skin.
When this thundercloud reached Ciel’s chest, it directly broke open Ciel’s internal organs and surged towards her heart. Red lightning quickly spread to her limbs with the heart’s pumping and then disappeared—
All of this happened in an instant.
Kitty at this mont, her peripheral vision also noticed Ciel’s actions, and she was extrely astonished.
In her opinion, Lord Bishop was at least a Tier 3 transcendent of an unknown path. The fear that arose from looking directly into their eyes couldn’t be fake.
But such a Tier 3 transcendent had directly drunk another bottle of Tier 1 “Adventurer” potion…
Plop—
The glass bottle fell onto the thick carpet. Kitty, who had her head lowered, heard the calm voice from above.
“Let’s go.”
“Yes… Yes!”
Kitty didn’t dare to ask this mysterious bishop any more questions. She could only bury her doubts in her heart.
…
Night fell. The pulse of Berren City seed to gradually slow down in the silence.
Berren City Redemption Hospital. Several carriages were parked at the hospital entrance.
The door of one of the carriages opened. Ciel got off the carriage and looked at the hospital before her.
Dim lights shone from the hospital corridors. The weak flas of the kerosene lamps cast distorted shadows on the walls. Just by getting close to the hospital, one could sll a faint, unknown dicinal scent in the air.
The hospital at night was no less busy. In this era, the hospital was the other side of the factory. Workers who sweated beside machines during the day might get injured in so accidents and be sent to this place.
These injured workers ca either from coal mines or iron foundries, which was why this hospital was built on the edge of Clock Tower Alley, to conveniently receive patients.
However, the mind of the current administrator of this hospital, which originally conveyed the concept of “redemption,” had been corrupted by the desire for advancent. He had long lost his initial pure ideals.
Ciel gently waved her hand. Kitty led several transcendents and directly surged into the hospital. Ciel, anwhile, stood at the entrance, looking up at this hospital that appeared solemn and steady.
At the innermost part of the hospital, there was a heavily guarded laboratory—of course, the “heavily guarded” here was only for ordinary people. For transcendents, it was not an impregnable fortress.
Logic told Ciel that Kitty had made a deal with Sherlon. If they launched a surprise attack, Kitty’s chance of winning was very high.
She just needed to stand still and wait. She didn’t need to go and take risks herself…
But the “Adventurer” potion was flowing in her body. Not take risks?
That was impossible.
