The Speedrun Manual of Miss Witch-Chapter 132 - Collapsing "Uniqueness" (1/2)

“Tranquilizer? Sleep?”

Avena also knew that before being contaminated by the Other Side, Ciel’s spirit already had some minor issues, mainly manifested in difficulty recovering mental energy.

But asking her to find a tranquilizer on the spot now was indeed putting her in a difficult position.

Previously, due to the Reconstitution Ritual, she did indeed stock up on quite a few potions.

But the effects of those potions were basically assisting her own brainwashing and mental guidance, not quite suitable for Ciel’s situation.

However, there was still a portion bought from Deton Manor before...

No no no, that material is used for making potions, cannot be used directly... otherwise...

“I’ll go take a look.”

Avena stood up with a “swish,” quickly walked to the study door, opened it, and left, leaving Ciel and Nia staring at each other in place.

After looking at each other for a while, Ciel looked at Nia and said, “Can you knock me out with one punch? Nia.”

“No.” Nia shook her head.

Nia might have some confidence in killing with one punch, but being precise enough to knock someone out was somewhat difficult for Nia.

Hearing this, Ciel didn’t continue dwelling on it with Nia, also stood up and walked towards the study, saying as she walked, “I’m going to the washroom.”

Didn’t you just go?

Although Nia felt slightly puzzled in her heart, she didn’t ask.

At this moment, Ciel walked down the second-floor corridor and entered the washroom.

Sleeping in the simulation couldn’t recover mental energy at all, and would continuously consume spirit.

Not only that, but for the entire 24 hours, Ciel had to suffer the torment of mental depletion—this was truly unbearable for ordinary people.

Her simulated self spent almost half a day recovering spirit before starting actions, while her current self had to endure this torment for 24 hours...

Honestly, suicide had a higher cost-performance ratio.

Anyway, all the information she wanted was obtained now, and she didn’t log in with No.0, couldn’t continue digesting potions.

Asking Ciel to endure such a headache to kill some transcendents for points?

Sorry, let others work hard.

“Coroner” Ciel was somewhat allergic to such positive words like “effort” and “desperation.”

Leaning against the washroom’s wooden door, a spider crawled out from Ciel’s long hair, perching on her neck.

A large amount of spider silk emerged from the spider’s back. The spider pulled the silk, continuously climbing along Ciel’s head. Soon, a large amount of spider silk covered Ciel’s mouth and nose.

Finally, the spider carried a small segment of silk and crawled back beside Ciel’s neck. Ciel, already holding her breath, took the silk and gently pulled.

Without any pain, Ciel, unable to breathe, only felt her throat tighten slightly, then quickly fainted within four seconds.

Unsure how long passed, a silver light shone before Ciel’s eyes.

...

【Reality】

【Holy Year 741, June 25th, 02:00】

【Evaluation: Preserving strength is indeed a good choice... but I have to say, “Coroner” is really too boring!】

【Can we BAN “Coroner” next time when there’s work to do? How can you rest?】

【Take it, this is deserved based on your performance.】

【Reward: Fate Points ×3】

【Fate Points: 180】

Ciel squinted slightly, looking at the system panel before her.

Her Fate Points before the simulation were 187. The simulation cost 10 points. Now adding 3 points, it’s exactly 180, considered a round number.

Ciel got up somewhat difficultly, walked to the desk. Silver light flashed in her hand, the “Endless Manual of Instant Forgetfulness” appeared in her hand.

She lifted the pen, spent some time recording all the information seen in the simulation in Chinese, then returned the manual to the inventory. Immediately after, Ciel focused her gaze on the tranquilizers placed on the desk.

There would be no misfortune intrusion for the next eight hours. If she wanted to rest, drinking the tranquilizer now was most appropriate.

She also had to recover her spirit quickly...

The matter of the “Uniqueness” gear needed a good discussion with the system after waking up.

Ciel took out a bottle of tranquilizer, endured the throbbing pain from her brain, raised the glass bottle, and drank it all in one go.

A faint minty coolness traveled down Ciel’s throat straight to her stomach, followed by a faint warmth.

The drug effect had begun.

Ciel stood up, swayed her body, about to walk towards the bed, but the potent drug and weakened spirit didn’t allow her to complete this short distance.

She fell headfirst onto the wooden floor and passed out.

...

A ray of sunlight shone onto Ciel’s face through the gap in the curtains.

Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, then her eyes opened.

Immediately, a system screen displaying the time appeared before Ciel’s eyes.

7:00.

Five consecutive hours without waking up... the effect is quite good.

Now Ciel’s brain still had some lingering grogginess, but it didn’t affect thinking, at most affecting some body coordination.

She didn’t need to rely on her own body for combat; this effect could be considered negligible.

Ciel climbed up from the floor, patted the dust off her dress, walked out of the room, went to the bathroom, wiped the dust off her face, and noticed the mark on her forehead.

The spot where she fell had swollen purple. It wouldn’t hurt unless touched.

After drying the water droplets on her hands, Ciel walked back to her room and checked the Endless Manual in her inventory.

With her current mental state... she could definitely complete everything her simulated self did.

Now the only thing still uncertain was.

Was the gear with the “Uniqueness” characteristic obtained or not?

After obtaining “Uniqueness” in the Other Side, was it detected by people or things in reality?

When obtaining “Uniqueness” in the Other Side, the system was clearly involved, because the drawing left by her simulated self showed layers upon layers of system screens.

“System, you know what I want to ask.” Ciel silently said in her heart.

“Where did the gear with ‘Uniqueness’ obtained in the simulation go? Does obtaining ‘Uniqueness’ in the simulation represent successfully obtaining it in reality too?”

Ciel’s thought was simple.

Since that thing had “Uniqueness” that couldn’t be exchanged, logically, after her simulated self collected it, the “Uniqueness” item in reality should also disappear.

Otherwise, her simulated self could absorb it once, and her real self could absorb it again, how could that be called “unique”?
