The Speedrun Manual of Miss Witch-Chapter 207

“Would you like to join us?”

Looking at Lafayette reaching out to her, Ciel’s brows slightly furrowed.

The Church of the God of Order desperately needs “talents”… Is this why they took Nia?

Originally, Ciel thought Nia’s disappearance had nothing to do with Windsor. Now it seems, the two matters are not unrelated.

At least Lafayette, who is behind Windsor, has sufficient reason to abduct Nia.

This matter not only involves the Church of the God of Order, but also the Pharos Medical Association, and even Forte might be an informed party.

In this way, the level of this intelligence is higher than Ciel had imagined, no wonder she hadn’t been able to find it out before…

“If I join… can you help me oppose Forte?”

Ciel slowly spoke, asking.

From their conversation underground earlier, Ciel had always behaved like a newcomer who had just entered the transcendent realm. But after she killed Windsor, as long as Lafayette had normal intelligence, she couldn’t possibly still consider Ciel a “newcomer.”

“Oppose? Heh heh heh… Of course not.”

Lafayette smiled and shook her head, saying, “If you join, we will be allies.”

“But I killed his daughter…”

A hint of hesitation appeared on Ciel’s face.

She wanted to see if she could extract information about Forte’s strange relationship with Windsor from Lafayette.

There was still plenty of time. She could continue chatting like this… The other party definitely wouldn’t notice she was stalling for time.

“That’s not important.”

Lafayette gently shook her head and walked towards Ciel, saying, “Just don’t break this thing…”

Lafayette’s action made Ciel cautious. She directly grabbed the edge of Windsor’s skull, wanting to drag both the person and the brain away.

Seeing Ciel’s action, Lafayette immediately stopped. She shrugged her shoulders helplessly and said, “Heh heh heh… Be careful… Don’t break it…”

Lafayette also seemed worried that Ciel would break that thing and dared not make any rash moves.

Ciel also noticed Lafayette’s reaction. She directly extended her left hand and grabbed the dark green frontal lobe.

A soft, warm sensation came from Ciel’s palm. Perhaps because the blood on her hand hadn’t completely coagulated, she felt this thing was unusually slippery. However, she didn’t dare to increase the grip strength. She could only maintain a relative balance.

Fortunately, Ciel’s fingers were nimble, so the frontal lobe in her hand didn’t slip away.

Seeing Ciel’s action of directly grabbing with her hand, Lafayette took a deep breath. She subconsciously took half a step back, avoiding further provoking Ciel.

“Child… don’t be nervous…”

Lafayette felt cold sweat dripping down her back. She took another step back and swallowed. “If that thing breaks, Forte will go berserk.”

If this thing breaks, Forte will go berserk?

It’s alright if his daughter dies?

It seems… the mark Forte left to protect Windsor wasn’t really to prevent Windsor from dying—but to protect this thing in Windsor’s brain.

What is this thing that Forte values so much?

Suddenly, Ciel thought of the codebook and Forte’s Spiritual Notes, which she hadn’t found even after searching Forte’s mansion and Windsor Palace…

No way?

Not necessarily…

Spiritual Notes were something that needed to be checked frequently, and also required confirmation from trusted individuals. If it was stored in the brain in this form, how would it be confirmed?

Even now, the possibility that Forte might be carrying his Spiritual Notes with him hasn’t been ruled out.

“Why would Forte want this thing?”

Ciel raised her gunblade and placed it less than 1cm away from the frontal lobe. As long as Ciel’s arm trembled slightly, this frontal lobe would be directly sliced by Ciel.

“(Pharos language) Calm down, Ciel, if you want to stay alive.”

In her panic, Lafayette directly abandoned her clumsy Ansu language and switched to fluent Pharos language. “(Pharos language) If you break this, none of us will survive.”

“(Pharos language) Answer my question.” Ciel had no emotional fluctuations and continued to ask expressionlessly.

She seemed to have inadvertently caught Lafayette’s weak spot.

“Windsor is a very important experimental subject, a rather important part of the plan.”

Lafayette at this point couldn’t care about much else and quickly answered Ciel’s question.

At the same time, she was also planning to physically take the frontal lobe away.

In Lafayette’s opinion, Ciel was just a “Detective” and definitely couldn’t escape her grasp. It didn’t matter what she said or what Ciel remembered. After she dealt with the current situation and captured Ciel, she would naturally be able to prevent her from transmitting any information.

“What experiment?” Ciel continued to press, and while pressing, she also kept an eye on the countdown of the remaining time.

Ciel had never wished for time to pass faster than now. But there was still nearly half an hour left. She had to stall for this time.

If Ciel wanted to escape, she could do so very easily.

But after hearing about the importance of the frontal lobe in her hand, Ciel still wanted to do her best to take this item out.

Hearing Ciel’s words, Lafayette was silent for a while.

The two of them looked at each other for about a minute before Lafayette slowly spoke.

“You have some understanding of the Church of the God of Order. You should know what the doctrines of the Church of the God of Order are.”

Lafayette didn’t give Ciel a chance to reply. She continued to speak:

“They worship the power of order, pursuing absolute order and stability, rejecting chaos and liberalism. Internally, they demand inner order and spiritual sublimation…”

“There is no deity named God of Order in their scriptures. What they use most often is a symbolic Eye of Order, like a symbol—their deity is abstract, without physical form, a symbol that carries their spiritual aspirations…”

Ciel knew all these things, but she didn’t interrupt Lafayette’s speech.

She wished Lafayette would talk about the history of the Church of the God of Order for twenty minutes, finally reveal the truth, and then time would run out, and she could leave the simulation.
