She focused her consciousness directly on the point store, and a silver-white illusory list unfolded in front of her, and several new items appeared in front of Charles.
Her eyes swept across the clothes in front of her and were instantly attracted by an item inside.
Success...
"[.450 Revolver (Battle-Tested)]"
"Destiny Points: 1"
Take less?
Ciel blinked, a little bit unable to believe what he saw.
Previously, school uniforms and graduation certificates all required 1 life point. Ciel felt that this was a rip-off, as they were just ordinary items.
But when she saw that the price of the revolver was only 1 life point, she found it hard to believe.
If using 1 life point to buy a piece of clothing is a bit of a rip-off, then using 1 point to buy a gun is much more valuable than clothing.
However, given the system's previous attitude, she felt there was definitely a trap.
"How many bullets are left in the gun?" Charles asked with some vigilance.
"There are three bullets left in the five-barrel magazine."
"If you want to buy bullets, they're 1 Fate Point each. Thank you for your patronage."
I'd be crazy to buy from you.
It seems that the system's values are very different from those of ordinary people. Whether it is clothes, a gun or a bullet, they are all the same to the system.
Only after you come into contact with more items can you better judge the system's pricing rules for different items.
Although there were only three bullets left in the gun, Charles still chose to buy the revolver.
So far, only this gun can bring Ciel more sense of security. Even if the destiny points have other uses, she has to buy this gun first.
"Buy."
Ciel's Fate Point balance jumped from 14 to 13. After she exited Fate Points, she saw a golden highlight in the upper right corner of the "Warehouse" column.
When I opened the warehouse, the four grids were finally no longer empty, and a revolver icon appeared in the first grid.
Charles's mind moved, and the moment she opened her hand, a white light condensed, and an old-fashioned black revolver was held in her hand.
It is not light, the grip is extremely un-ergonomic, there are several scratches on the gun body, and even the trigger is a bit loose, but it has been well maintained and the gun body is slightly shiny.
It looks like a firearm from the 1800s in his previous life, which is consistent with Charles's understanding of the current era.
She had always thought that she lived in a parallel world, London, but now it seems that this is no longer the ordinary world she is familiar with.
There was actually a gang leader who planned to kill himself under the pretext of a bizarre "ritual".
Coupled with what she learned from Mira's letter, that the gang had colluded with the believers of a certain church, and the existence of the system, she couldn't help but doubt whether extraordinary abilities really existed in this world.
No matter what unknown dangers exist in this world, you must first try your best to overcome the difficulties in front of you.
Ciel put the pistol back into the warehouse, opened the "Skills" column, and looked at the new skills she had just acquired.
In addition to the original "Dexterity Lv.1", there is an additional "Death Resistance Lv.1".
Death Reversal Lv. 1: When you are about to die, all negative states are cleared and a large amount of mental energy is consumed to force you to survive in a near-death state for a short period of time. If you fail to escape the near-death state after your mental energy is exhausted, you will die.
Forced to stay alive for a few seconds...
Charles looked at this skill with a strange expression.
If it is in the game, then this skill is a magical skill and can serve as a big move.
But for her now, this skill is completely useless.
If you die in the simulation, a few seconds won't change anything, at most it will allow you to gain more information.
If you are fatally injured in real life, these few extra seconds will be of no use, as it is almost impossible to provide first aid within a few seconds.
But on the bright side, this skill can at least be used in the simulation to forcibly lock the enemy's health and steal equipment or items, or to exchange one's life for important information.
If the previous agility could only be regarded as an enhancement of some physical fitness, then the reversal of death now is like an extraordinary ability.
And Charles noticed that there was a small golden "+" sign on the right side of these skills.
As soon as her consciousness touched the "+" sign, the system prompt appeared in front of her.
"Do you want to spend 10 Fate Points to upgrade [Death Reversal]?"
No.
Charles refused decisively.
Now he only had 13 destiny points left, which was only enough for one simulation. If he didn't make significant progress in the next simulation, it would almost be equivalent to losing the opportunity to simulate again.
At present, apart from simulation, she has not mastered any other methods to obtain destiny points, and the current tight time does not allow her to leisurely look for ways to obtain destiny points.
The ruffian Aian had been targeting Charles half a year ago, and he tried to provoke her and her sister in almost every way, with an air of shamelessness that looked like he was looking for death. Now it seems that this was not a coincidence.
The Blackwater Gang found him in the second simulation and did not go to the downtown area to kill his sister, which was different from the first simulation.
The only difference between the two times was that it was himself who killed Aion.
Could it be that this so-called "ritual" required either he or his sister to kill Aion before it could begin? Was that why Aion was going to such great lengths to provoke them?
What if he and his sister were to appear simultaneously in a busy city? At the police station? Or even at the home of a noble friend? Would the ceremony still be able to continue?
If possible, Charles would definitely try them one by one.
But the few remaining destiny points told Charles that if he didn't make any major changes in the next simulation to obtain enough points, he would not have enough points to continue the simulation.
Rather than choosing to escape, to gamble on those possibilities, to use his luck to gamble on the loophole that the other party may have planned for half a year - to let himself die to the minute - but did not expect, Charles preferred another option.
An option that the opponent could never plan for.
That means fighting back.
Ciel took a deep breath, summoned the system interface in his mind, and opened the "Simulation".
The time of each daily simulation is different. She needs to know whether the next simulation will be tomorrow, the day after tomorrow or today, and then make plans.
「来日:10h(圣741年6月18日4:45)(消耗10命定点)」
「往日:30Day(圣741年5月16日7:30)(消耗100命定点)」
"Old Days: ***, ***Day (???) (Consumes 10000 Fate Points)"
Chapter 6: Take the initiative!
10h? Ten hours later?
Charles opened the system time function and saw that the current time was 18:45, close to seven o'clock.
She activated the system around 6:30, and only fifteen minutes had passed since then. Excluding the time she wasted in reality, the time she spent in the simulation was almost negligible.
"There's a huge time difference between simulation and reality, so the host doesn't have to worry about the simulation being too long and affecting reality. ^^"
The system interface flashed before his eyes, giving an explanation.
Ten hours later...that would be almost five in the morning?
She has 24 hours of activity time in the simulation, which is enough time for her to do many things.
"System, if I'm mentally exhausted in reality, what will happen after entering the simulation?"
"If the host forces themselves not to sleep, then the host who enters the simulation will also enter a state of mental exhaustion."
Is the state inherited?
"What if I exceed this time without running the simulation?"
「超过来日模拟时间【圣741年6月18日4:45】仍未进行模拟,来日模拟将会被重置为新的时间」
Charles nodded and decided on the plan immediately.
I need to spend some time in a relatively safe room to determine the plan, then get enough sleep, and finally conduct the simulation before the deadline for the next day's simulation.
This simulation is very important. It will be the longest simulation in which she has survived so far. She must change the outcome of death in the simulated world. Even if she cannot change the outcome, she must make a big enough change to gain more destiny points.
Charles wrote and drew in his notebook, constantly guessing and refuting the ideas based on the information he had obtained so far, hoping to obtain the most appropriate solution.
Unfortunately, the current intelligence was very limited, and she knew nothing about combat, so she could only put the plan aside for the time being, and instead took the change and went out to buy a dagger from a vendor.
On the way back, she consciously observed and found the tall and thin figure in the baseball cap again. This was the stalker mentioned in the notebook, who was following her even at night.
After returning home and sharpening the dagger, she tried to put the dagger into the system warehouse, but was prompted that it had failed.
Later she tried to put other things into the warehouse, but all failed.
It seems that the warehouse can only store and access items purchased from the point store, which makes Charles feel regretful.
After completing all the preparations he could make so far, Ciel went straight back to his room and lay down. After closing his eyes, he started the system simulation in his mind.
"Today."
After silently reciting the future simulation in her heart, a hazy silver-white light bloomed in her eyes, and her consciousness was dragged into the silver-white space.
The second hand, emitting a brilliant light, spun rapidly until it stopped at a fixed position. The light in Charles' eyes dissipated, and he gradually began to feel the objects and temperature around him.
"Today"
「圣741年6月18日4:45」
"Countdown - 23:59:59"
The silver-white space dissipated before his eyes, leaving only a faint light screen in front of him, showing the time where Charles was at the moment.
She had arrived at 18: in the morning of the th, full of energy.
She did not light the kerosene lamp, but got out of bed quietly in the dark, took out the dagger that had been sharpened under her pillow, held it in her backhand, and slowly opened the door.
Charles gently opened his sister Lizzie's door, and after making sure she was still sleeping inside, he closed the door and went downstairs.
She was wearing a gray linen dress prepared in advance, a tattered gray-black cloak, and a hood. She slightly opened the curtains and began to observe outside the door through the gap in the curtains.
There were no pedestrians on the streets in the early morning. Even the most unscrupulous factories had stopped their machines at this time, and the entire street was filled with silence.
There were no street lights in the Bell Tower Alley area that were on late at night. After her eyes gradually adjusted to the darkness under the moonlight, she saw a dark figure sitting against the wall in the alley opposite.
There were so many homeless people and orphans in Clock Tower Alley that it was not uncommon for people to see such a figure lying at the entrance of the alley. However, the gray newsboy cap he used to cover his face revealed his identity.
The person sleeping opposite is the one who has been following me.
If you want to get information, he is the best target. The ruffian Aion may not know where Brad Solari is, but the person who is following him must know.
It was late at night. Xiaer opened the door with a knife, walked down the stairs slowly, and headed towards the alley.
With the help of [Dexterity Lv.1], she didn't make any loud noise whether she was opening or closing the door or walking.
He walked up to the man with the baseball cap covering his face, until he was within the distance where he could hear his soft snoring, but he didn't notice anything at all.
An illusory silver-white light flashed, and a revolver appeared in Charles' left hand, while her right hand quickly thrust forward and stabbed directly into the opponent's lower abdomen.
"Pfft-"
Warm blood splattered on Charles's hands.
"Well--!"
The intense pain made the man sitting on the ground curl up into a ball, and the newsboy cap covering his face slipped to the ground.
He covered his chest and looked suddenly in the direction of Charles, and saw the red-haired girl in the moonlight, calmly pointing a gun at him.
"Keep your voice down." Charles spoke calmly, keeping a certain distance from the man in front of him.
She didn't know where to stab the person without being fatal but still paralyzing them, so she could only choose the softest part of the abdomen. At least there were no organs there that could kill someone instantly.
"Where is Brad Solari?"
The steady voice of the girl in front of him made the man's face twitch slightly, especially when he heard the name, panic and surprise clearly flashed in his eyes.
"That cultist deceived Brad, and the ritual was fake. Tell me his location and I'll spare your life." Charles stated without any change in his tone.
She made up these words based on the known information. She was also gambling that the other party did not know more than she did, and that the other party would cherish his life.
Looking at the bloody dagger in the red-haired girl's hand and the revolver in her left hand, the man hesitated for a while with his teeth bared, and finally gave up resistance.
"He... he's at the Blackwater Bar, the one on East Street... He'll be at... ahem, there these next two days..." The man's voice gradually grew weaker, and he spoke incoherently.
The moment he finished speaking, he heard a crisp "click" sound, which was the sound of the revolver hammer being pulled up.
