The Speedrun Manual of Miss Witch-Chapter 91 - Entering Deton Manor Again and the Frustrated Kitty (1/3)

Ciel nodded gently. She felt like she was in a strange state now... like temporal disorder.

Not only the pain from cuts and gunshot punctures, but she could also occasionally feel a burning sensation on her body.

After listening to Ciel describe her pain, Adele slowly turned her head to look at Avena.

Avena was also looking at Ciel, lost in thought. She seemed to understand something as well.

Adele moved aside for Avena, recognizing this was beyond her ability to handle.

It was highly probable that this was mental confusion caused by spiritual pollution or stress. Such situations often occurred after severe psychological trauma, a common ailment among many transcendents.

Avena, a “Listener” currently researching the “Psychiatrist” Reconstitution Ritual, followed a path specifically designed to handle such situations.

But why would Ciel, an ordinary person, exhibit such severe symptoms?

Adele made way for Avena. Avena stood before Ciel and said softly, “Ciel, relax, close your eyes.”

Ciel slowly closed her eyes, trying her best not to think about the physical pain.

She smelled a familiar girlish fragrance. The next second, she was gently embraced by a warm hug.

From above, Avena’s soft singing voice drifted down.

It seemed to be a well-known lullaby in Ansu.

“Rock-a-bye, baby, on the treetop.

When the wind blows, the cradle will rock; When the bough breaks, the cradle will fall.

Down will come baby, cradle and all...”

The gentle melody repeated endlessly. Ciel felt herself falling endlessly in the darkness before her, yet her heart grew calmer, as if entering a space of consciousness devoid of sensation.

Compared to Ciel’s relaxation, Avena, holding Ciel, felt her singing begin to tremble slightly.

She tentatively reached out to touch and heal Ciel’s spirit. But the instant she contacted Ciel’s spiritual body, overwhelming pain and despair flooded her mind, causing her voice to quiver slightly.

Avena couldn’t see any images in the darkness, but she could empathize deeply with the feeling, as if Ciel were weeping and recounting these pains to her.

What exactly had she experienced to accumulate such immense negative emotions and energy?

Just as Avena felt she could barely hold on, she felt a slight prickling sensation on her arm. It seemed some kind of medicine had been pushed into her bloodstream.

Seconds later, Avena’s initially wavering spirit gradually stabilized and became energized, her voice regaining its balance.

Avena continued humming the short lullaby repeatedly. After three minutes, she slowly released her embrace.

As soon as she opened her eyes, Avena saw Adele beside her, pressing a cotton swab against the injection site on her left arm. It seemed Adele had administered a dose of medicine just now.

Ciel also slowly opened her eyes. Now, she only felt the world before her was incredibly vibrant and bright, as if her spirit had been cleansed. Those brief three minutes felt more effective than sleeping for an entire day.

Ciel looked at Avena with some surprise. This was the second time she had seen Avena use her own abilities. She hadn’t expected that besides hypnotizing others, “Listener” also possessed an indescribable healing power, at least for Ciel, the effect was excellent.

“Ciel...” Avena took a shallow breath, stabilizing her emotions before speaking, “I made your spirit temporarily forget those pains and fears... but right now, I can’t heal the spirit itself.”

“This kind of spiritual injury usually appears only after years of accumulation in transcendents. This is the first time I’ve encountered such a situation...”

Avena herself had felt somewhat apprehensive. Apart from helping Nia stabilize her spirit, she had never used this ability on anyone else.

But seeing Ciel’s face gradually regain color now, the effect seemed quite good, which put Avena’s mind slightly at ease.

“Don’t worry too much. As long as I frequently help heal your spirit, the situation won’t worsen.” Avena said, perhaps to reassure Ciel as well.

Since Avena had said this much, Adele also raised her hand slightly to indicate, “I... can help treat you too.”

From Avena’s reaction, Adele somewhat understood that the reason she hadn’t been captured by cultists yet was entirely due to Ciel’s protection.

Looking at the two girls before her, Ciel also smiled and nodded, saying sincerely, “Thank you both.”

Avena could heal the spirit, Adele could treat the body...

Did this count as carrying two super “healers” with her?
