Miss Witch's Forbidden Book Secret

[Points settlement: 3840]

【Promotion Status: Success】

Great Philosopher 8↑ (Extraordinary Ability 'Transcending Opposition': Things are stripped of their diversity before your gaze, and their true nature begins to be revealed)

[Ceremony Evaluation: The righteous are filled with the Holy Spirit and cannot be stopped by anyone]

In the hall of the promotion ceremony, Tia felt somewhat regretful.

The timing of this nightmare was just in time. If it was just pushed back an hour or half an hour, the palace would have been able to find a way out.

Then she will be able to visit the royal city from three thousand years ago.

So many ancient secret books, knowledge, and unknown information... I don’t know how much they can be sold for!

Tia whimpered in pain and looked at the holy candle in front of her.

On the three holy candles were three balls of light, which contained a sharp blade that pierced the puppet, a blooming thorn flower, and a little man flying upwards. As Tia looked at them, they all lit up with warm light.

[Path of Suffering: Pain, humiliation, and despair will be reversed, completely depriving you of these three emotions. Instead, you gain pleasure and increased Soul Strength when emotions arise. When any one emotion is triggered, it's a 25% increase; when two are triggered, it's a 75% increase; when all three are triggered, it's a 150% increase.]

[Thorn Blossom: At any time, you can use a portion of your own self as a sacrifice to instantly release a Sequence 5 Sleeping Curse on the target. Poisonous thorn vines will spread around the cursed target. If the target wakes up, the cost is returned to you, no further payment is required.]

[Holy Son Holy Spirit: Permanently lose most common sense and cognition, enhance the divine part of the spirituality, and gradually expand the soul strength to 150000 meters over time. When reaching the extreme depth, you can build a sanctuary in the deep sea nightmare.]

Sometimes Tia had to admit that the saints who designed the promotion ceremony were indeed very generous.

This kind of ritual is given as soon as it is said, and it is directly made into extraordinary characteristics, instead of just stuffing knowledge into people's heads and bursting them.

No wonder after the Year of the Saint, all the extraordinary people relied on the promotion ceremony to complete their promotion...

Rather than risking your life to search for a ritual in a nightmare to deepen your soul's strength, wouldn't it be easier and safer to just go through a promotion ceremony?

Of these three extraordinary characteristics, Tia first ruled out the Son of God and the Holy Spirit. She already theoretically had a "sanctuary," and she wasn't some middle school girl constantly complaining about being born a human. There was no need to abandon her attempts at cognition simply to expand her soul's strength.

As for the Thorn Blossom, it's quite impressive. The Sequence 5 Sleeping Curse is likely the same one the Purple Witch cast on Rosalinde. It also comes with built-in insurance, offering direct compensation if the curse fails. It's truly a conscientious tool in the ritual realm.

But the path of suffering appealed more to Tia—soul strength was secondary; the most important thing was the reversal of painful emotions! Her biggest problem with the Red Cup was the painful bleeding caused by the flower knife, which she basically relied on to forcibly increase her soul strength to withstand.

But when the soul strength was converted into physical strength, the body became weaker and could not withstand the change. She had to be very careful even when cutting an aorta.

The Way of the Cross fills this gap perfectly!

The old man downstairs was accusing me of making noise at 2:30 in the middle of the night. I work every day and lie in bed like a dead person. How could I make such a noise? Even Brother Jing couldn't hold it in when he called the police.

I'll post a chapter while Brother Jing is mediating. I have to go to the psychiatric department tomorrow. See you tomorrow.

Volume 1: A Day of Rest

I'm not in a good mood. Last night, Brother Jing came over to mediate a dispute until after 2:00 AM. I'm not in a good mental state and I can't sleep. I might as well take a day off and recuperate.

I took advantage of my lunch break at work this morning and slept for three hours. I was slacking off at work and used the Six Yao technique to tell myself a fortune.

By the way, those of you who have been following me since the last book probably know that I know a little bit about inner alchemy, because that's what I studied. I started out studying religious archaeology, and as I continued, I really got sucked into religion. Then I learned a bunch of random things from the Taoist masters at the temple, like mountain medicine, fortune-telling, and a little bit of everything, but I didn't master anything.

Because my advisor in my sophomore year, who was one of the few teachers in our school who taught religious archaeology and folklore, changed jobs, I was transferred to another teacher of animal archaeology. It happened that this teacher was working on a Heilongjiang animal archaeology project in his laboratory at the time, and he said he could give me a job there, and any results I got could be used to write a graduation thesis. So I shifted my focus from religious archaeology.

Plus, I'm an atheist to begin with, so I had to throw away all the knowledge I had learned about mountain medicine, fortune-telling, and divination. I only learned half of it, and I can only use it to fool around... well, I just wrote it into the novel to brag about it.

My original mentor was a very nice person, though. Even though he changed jobs, he paid my rent during my internship and even found connections for several of us to get internships. He was a good person.

anyway.

I cast a fortune for myself at work. The hexagram is Earth Wind Rising changing to Water Wind Well. I won't go into details about the six relatives. The general meaning is that I am anxious and sick.

I learned a lot back then, but fortune-telling was the worst thing I learned because I didn't believe in it and didn't need it. Of course, I don't really believe in it now either.

But after being exposed to it for so long, and with my recent poor health, I've become a bit lost. It feels similar to a good friend of mine who's been hanging out with lesbians for three years and has become a bit of a "Little Nan Liang." He used to say he was just curious, but now he's constantly cross-dressing.

It's really touching.

I hope I don't become a little man-girl...

But it's hard to say for sure. When I was studying Taoism, I read the Pure Tranquility Sutra and the Heart Sutra, and listened to the Xixinzhai Sutra. I felt that I could see through everything and find my true peace. While others were still haggling over a few ounces of silver, I happily took a job at a museum with a worrying monthly salary (really worrying, far from the local median, but it was really leisurely, 9 to 5, weekends off, and very little workload).

But now it seems that there are still many things that I cannot let go of and cannot see my true self.

Oh my god, I won’t say anymore, Lao Deng downstairs is here again.

Including this time, I have called the police three times this week.

End or not

No more writing

see you tomorrow

Volume 1: Chapter 111: Anne Wants to Live Together

After Tia chose the path of suffering, she gradually floated up and left the promotion ceremony.

When I woke up, it was half past eleven in the morning. Twelve hours had passed in the nightmare, but in reality, only half an hour had passed. Scarlett was still guarding outside. There was a row of iron benches outside the prison, and she was dozing off on them.

With a click, the iron gate opened. Seeing Scarlett so trapped, Tia took off her cloak and put it on her, shaking Scarlett's shoulders.

Scarlett suddenly woke up with a start. Seeing that Tia had finished the ceremony, she looked at her cloak and took a deep breath, her whole body tensing up.

The policewoman said in panic: "I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry! I just wanted to take a nap..."

"Okay, Scarlett, forget about apologizing and go back to rest. Look how tired you are."

Tia didn't care much.

Scarlett asked embarrassedly: "What about you? Do you need me to take you home?"

"Is there a carriage?"

"Uh... not prepared."

"Then take me to Notre Dame Cathedral."

The roads in Beigang District are difficult to walk on at night. Not only are there local gangs, but the streets are winding and sparsely lit. If Tia hadn't used the light dance technique, it would have been quite inconvenient to go back.

Scarlett felt even more embarrassed. She hadn't realized she had forgotten to arrange a carriage. She said guiltily, "If you're going to Notre Dame Cathedral, it's on the way home. You can stay at my place for the night. My house is actually quite big... You haven't eaten yet, have you?! There's a tavern on the way that's open until late at night. You can buy some food. Feel free to take it. I'll pay for it!"

Tia always felt that these words were familiar, and quickly rejected Scarlett's kindness.

She was afraid that drinking some horse urine would lead to some kind of underdog plot. That would be great, and she wouldn't have to go to work tomorrow...

After being rejected, Scarlett took Tia out of the police station, locked the door, and went to the Cathedral of Our Lady.

At first, Scarlett thought Tia was going to the church to pray, but Tia took her directly through the church to the parish residence. She stared at the name on the houseplate in front of the villa for a long time.

Sir! This is not your home!

Scarlett thought that Tia might spend the night in a hotel or inn, or go to the Earl's mansion to find Miss Anne, or even stay in the church all night.

But I didn’t expect her to come to Miss Vera’s house!

Is your relationship so complicated?!

　Miss Scarlett, a regular police officer who had been working at the police station for some time, smelled something about the case and her tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed.

Scarlett looked at her superior, hesitant to speak, then remembered the dangerous Ms. Vanessa in the Anti-Suppression Bureau. She clenched her fist and raised it, saying cautiously, "Superintendent, be careful!"

Tia: “???”

..........................

..........................

Tia won’t mention it.

Wait until the second half of the night, when dawn comes.

In Count Mercury's mansion, Evelyn heard several bangs in the bedroom. She pushed the door open and saw Anne lying on the ground unconscious.

Evelin's pupils suddenly shrank, and she immediately helped Annie up, "Miss! Is there something wrong with your ritual?"

"No, no..." Annie spoke unsteadily.

Damn it! I don't even have the energy to speak. Did the promotion ceremony fail? Impossible!

Was the first promotion ceremony completely safe, or did I encounter strange things in a nightmare?

Evelin panicked and wanted to call a doctor, but in the blink of an eye, she heard Annie leaning on her arm and said weakly: “My legs are numb, Sister Evelin, can you rub them for me…”

"Wait, you said your legs were numb?"

"Yeah, why else would you fall?"

"What about coma?"

"Hey, I didn't eat during the day..."

Evelin's expression instantly turned cold, and she said ruthlessly, "Miss, not only do you not know where you got the materials for the promotion ceremony, but you are also not even eating. I will report these matters truthfully to the Madam and the Earl."

"No, Evelin! You promised to keep it a secret! I wanted to give Tia a surprise. If mom knows, Tia will definitely know too!"

"What about eating? I remember Madam asked you to eat three meals on time."

Evelyn recalled some of the fashionable young ladies at Silver Castle University who would starve themselves until they were very thin, then wear corsets for months without removing them. This way, when they resumed their normal diet and gained weight again, their waists would be very thin. Then, wearing huge, puffy bell-shaped skirts and tight-fitting bras, they would look like giant butterflies with colorful wings at the ball.

This is really not a good thing! The danger level is even no less than Annie's ceremony tonight - at least the first 10) chess (four) (five) 98th promotion ceremony is absolutely harmless!

Anne wasn't one for having a thin waist. She blinked and told the truth, "Because Chef Uncle Hof has gone home, the new chef's cooking is terrible, not even as good as Tia's! Evelyn, do you think we can recruit Tia to our house?"

"I'm afraid that won't work, miss."

"What about living together?! If I go to school at Silver Castle, Dad said he would arrange for me to live with Her Highness Eleanor. But I can't cook, so Eleanor would have to starve like me. It's okay for me to starve, but Eleanor is a princess. She absolutely cannot go hungry, right?"

Evelin said, “You can hire a professional chef.”

"No! Evelyn. How can this be possible? I heard that even the Prime Minister wanted to hire a chef at public expense, but the citizens didn't allow it. The royal family should set an example and practice thriftiness! Besides, Tia's cooking is delicious, and Eleanor loves it too. She even wrote a letter to Tia!"

Evelin didn’t expect that Tia was really skilled.

It wasn't that Tia was particularly gifted, but after spending enough time in Anzu, any normal modern person would have developed some cooking skills. The food of this industrial age was truly indescribable!

When Tia was a child in an orphanage, her most common staple was a porridge made from black bread, scallions, and water, quite Indian-style. It was almost unseasoned. Locally, there was no concept of balanced nutrition, or perhaps no conditions, to teach her. So, without any instruction, Tia learned to climb trees to rob bird nests, dig for snails by the river, steal potatoes from the fields, and catch rabbits in the woods.

So much so that for a long time, her sister Avina had always believed that the two of them were most likely barbarians captured by a slave-catching team on the northern ice sheet of the continent and sold to Ansu...

Evelyn thought for a moment and said, "Miss Sulph's cohabitation with you and Her Highness Eleanor still requires the consent of Her Highness the Queen and the Earl."

Anne hugged Evelin and said happily, "I knew it! Evelin, you will definitely support me!"

Volume 1: Chapter 112 Tia: I think this is good

The next day, Tia woke up in Vera's bed. It was already noon when she woke up.

Seeing these two people sleeping so late, Isabella couldn't imagine what happened last night. Vera usually wakes up before nine o'clock! And now it's twelve o'clock!

Anxious Isabella once wanted to wake up the two men and drag Vera out to teach her a lesson, but old Bishop Marshall dissuaded her with a smile, and the matter was left unresolved.

But in the bedroom, Vera rubbed her sleepy eyes and looked at the girl who was still sleeping beside her with a resentful look on her face.

At around one o'clock last night, she came out of the ceremony and rested for a while.

Because she was tortured repeatedly by a little witch who was not a human in her nightmares, her mental state was almost on the verge of crawling into darkness. When she woke up, her mouth still tasted sweet and fishy with blood.

To be honest, the taste is pretty good. The bloody smell is not strong, and the sweet taste is very smooth when you first put it in your mouth. I don’t know why Tia’s blood tastes like this.

But I can’t stand the large quantity!

Vera was almost soaked in Tia's body fluids!

Just like that, she was finally about to go to sleep, but this damn Tia Sulph came knocking on the door again, saying that she was homeless and wanted to use a bed...

Isabella was there, and she couldn't refuse, so she had to let Tia sleep in the same bed with her in tears.

However, this wasn't the first time they slept in the same bed, so Vera didn't feel anything and fell into a deep sleep. In fact, nothing happened that night. Isabella's worries were completely in vain.

After Tia woke up, she had lunch at Vera's house.

Vera bit into the last sausage and said angrily, "Eat and sleep together, pay!"

Tia blinked and said, "You can come to my house and sleep if you want."
