The Speedrun Manual of Miss Witch-Chapter 151 - Overlimit Coin, Super Luck (1/2)
I am in the open, the enemy is in the dark.
Time remaining: 17 hours.
How can I find the people of the “Society of Merriment” in the shortest time?
Mass sacrifice?
I do have resources on hand. Over a dozen Tier 3 and Tier 2 Divine Advent Church members are enough to sacrifice a truly terrifying existence, something no transcendent in this city can resist.
Cross into the Other Side, directly peer into where Tier 3 brilliance exists?
This is also a very efficient method. I used this method before to directly find the sealed artifact hidden deep in the sewers, directly beneath the square.
But both these plans have a fatal flaw.
That is, they require utilizing the Other Side, requiring continued torment of Ciel’s spirit.
You know, her spirit hasn’t fully recovered yet. The reason she appears like a normal person is only because of Avena’s healing and burden-sharing.
Before her spirit fully recovers, Ciel will not consider using the power of the Other Side again.
After all, it hasn’t reached the point where extreme measures are necessary yet.
Society of Merriment...
Keeping the “Butcher” save file is not urgent.
Because she has already completed the “Butcher’s” Reconstitution Ritual. To get this save file, she only needs to enter the simulation and drink the potion again, not necessarily needing to keep the save file at this moment.
Now, the simplest and most extreme method is what Ciel just thought of.
Using the “Overlimit Gear” to overload “Shifting Remnant Coin” and “Eye of Peering Death Omen” also has a very high probability of achieving Ciel’s goal.
However, without the “Contaminated Fate Renegade’s Touch,” the quill pen, as a point to manipulate the threads of fate, Ciel may not be able to control whether what comes next is good luck or misfortune.
The overloaded quill pen can manipulate the threads of fate to summon meteors that don’t exist at this point in time, but without the quill pen’s influence, Ciel isn’t yet clear what course events will take.
Now Ciel somewhat regretted exiting the dream created by the “Dream Thief” so quickly after seeing through it.
If she had deliberately cooperated, allowed the “Dream Thief” to distort her thoughts, or even directly invade Ciel’s consciousness, letting the other party see the knowledge sealed in her mind and the “Uniqueness” gear, the other party would likely fall into madness directly.
She missed an opportunity.
Fortunately, this was just a simulation of the future. This gave her a lot of room for trial and error.
Summarize properly. Just don’t make the same mistake next time.
Knock knock knock—
A knock sounded. With Ciel’s response, the wooden door was opened. Tara walked into the conference room carrying the tray that held the potion earlier, placing the tray before Ciel.
On the tray was a rust-colored coin and a sky-blue eyeball, both familiar objects to Ciel.
Ciel’s gaze fell upon the rust-colored coin.
“Strong Luck Coin”, system name “Shifting Remnant Coin”. In reality, this coin was still in Lucy’s hand.
Now, rather than tossing for two sides of good luck, Ciel was more inclined to toss for two sides of misfortune.
Ciel had never experienced the effect of two sides of good luck, but she was very clear about what two sides of misfortune were like.
Before, she tossed for two sides of misfortune, doubling the misfortune of the overloaded quill pen imposed on herself, attracting a thunderous storm, fire tornado, and meteors.
Now, directly overloading the coin, if two sides of misfortune could be tossed, the effect should be roughly similar to meteors, just unknown how it would specifically manifest.
Ciel raised her hand. Silver-white light flashed. The “Echo of the Silver-White Timebinder” appeared in her hand.
She opened the watch face, directly turned the silver gear in the center. With a crisp “click,” the coin before Ciel changed.
Crack—
The coin’s originally rusty red surface abruptly cracked. Fine cracks almost covered the entire coin.
Pure silver brilliance bloomed within the tiny fissures, pulsing with a specific rhythm—like a bomb compressed to the extreme, about to explode.
As the coin shattered, an aura far exceeding the coin’s own emanated from it. Tara, who had been watching everything unfold, even stopped breathing slightly.
No matter how many times she saw it, she would feel shocked.
As a high-ranking member of the Divine Advent Church, she had seen quite a few sealed artifacts, but had never seen anyone capable of enhancing a sealed artifact and using it in this manner.
Truly worthy of being the Mother Goddess.
Thinking of this, Tara’s gaze slowly shifted from the sealed artifact coin, looking towards Ciel’s face.
At this moment, Ciel’s expression was calm. She reached out directly to touch the coin.
When she held the coin in her hand, the coin seemed to possess life, gently vibrating in Ciel’s hand, emitting a faint hum. She felt a sense of familiarity from the coin.
This familiarity didn’t come from the coin itself, but from the power that overloaded the coin.
Ding—
Ciel held the coin in her right fist, used her thumb to flick it lightly upwards.
The rust-colored coin spun and revolved in the air with a silver stream of light, finally landing steadily on the tabletop.
The eyeball angel looked up at the sky. Silver fissures seemed to form blood vessels and patterns on its eyeball and wings, giving a slightly sacred brilliance to this eerie figure.
Heads up...
Ciel’s heart didn’t fluctuate much, as there was still one more toss.
If the next toss was tails, the effects of both would cancel each other out, essentially meaning nothing happened, thus causing Ciel to lose her trump card of being able to find the other party within 17 hours.
Ding—
Ciel picked up the coin and flicked it into the air again.
This time, after hitting the tabletop, the coin bounced and rolled to the ground, emitting a few crisp tapping sounds before abruptly shattering. In the final moment before shattering, the eyeball angel, radiating silver light, gazed at Ciel above it.
Two heads...
This was already a top outcome. Ciel was very lucky.
But she had never experienced two consecutive heads. How good could this so-called good luck be?
Perhaps walk out and directly bump into someone from the Society of Merriment?
No matter what, since the outcome of the coin toss was decided, she had to act quickly. Couldn’t just wait here for them to come to her.
“Tara, gather everyone, tell them to disguise themselves well. We’re leaving.” Ciel reached out, directly grabbed the evil eye sealed artifact and put it in her pocket, then walked straight towards the door.
By the time Ciel walked out of this hidden farm warehouse, the sky was already completely bright. The morning sun shone on Ciel’s face, seemingly predicting that things would develop favorably.
