The hands of the clock ticked into the early hours of the sixth day, and shortly after that mutual explosion, Kathleen left the room as usual.

Now on duty outside the door are the rest of the mages in the Phantom Forest, and under normal circumstances, they will not come in and disturb Charlotte's sleep without the request of Charlotte or the upper echelons of the Phantom Forest.

But in fact, Charlotte had no intention of sleeping.

The death reset point is approaching, but there has been no message from Aven's side. This may be due to the delay in Vivien Leigh's death, or perhaps Aven, who has successfully solved the problem, is watching out of caution, but it is more likely that Ewen has failed.

The likelihood of failure increased over time, and by this time, Charlotte was no longer nervous.

"Heh, after all, from past experience, there is no such thing as a good thing that can succeed at one time. Charlotte put down her pocket watch and closed her eyes quietly.

In the darkness, El's little hand fumbled and held his, and El's hand was like her white jade carved cover, with a hint of coolness.

"El, do you know, Catherine's words today really touched me, no one has ever said such merciless words to me. Maybe she understands my sister, but she never lashes out at me. Charlotte stated in a calm tone, he leaned back in his chair, as if in reverie, "I am wrong, I once wanted to rely on the three major systems of the imagination to exalt the roots and rebel against Lu Sien's consciousness, but such thoughts inevitably fell on the lower levels. You think so, right?"

"......" Elle hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.

Charlotte seemed to sense her movements, and continued, "Sure enough, I think that none of the kings who have been able to achieve the root since ancient times must have raised the throne because they wanted to get rid of or defeat someone's shadow, even if it was Gerald, a battle maniac, he didn't achieve the throne because of Iger, right? ”

Elle didn't answer, she just listened quietly.

She didn't understand the mood and intentions of the Root King, and even if she was the proof of the Root created by Lu Sien, it had only been twelve years since she had awakened. She only vaguely felt that Charlotte's desire to get rid of Lu Sien's shadow was not enough to support him to hold him high on the throne of the roots.

So I asked myself, what was my heart longing for, to put aside the shadow of Rusen, to leave behind the identity of the Claydermans, to put aside family, to leave behind friendship, to put aside love, to put aside all the disturbances of the world...... What is that nameless soul faintly longing for?"

Charlotte opened her eyes, and those obsidian eyes seemed to have been wiped by someone, revealing a clear light that had never been seen before.

"I'm curious!" he suddenly said in a powerful tone, "I'm curious about what spacetime is all about, it stands to reason that it's just an artificially shaped relative coordinate system, it's just a definition, so how did Lu Sien distort this definition?"

"I'm curious! I'm curious about the concept of the multiverse! Planets make up galaxies, countless galaxies make up the universe, there are universes beyond the universe, and countless universes make up this boundless and vast system of the multiverse. Even if they are as strong as kings and gods, they can't figure out how many universes there are. So is there an aqua blue planet in this multiverse? If not, is there another multiverse besides the multiverse?"

This would have confused Elle, but Charlotte didn't need anyone's answer at this time, he just put everything aside and tortured his mind before death was near.

And the answer is......

"I'm curious! I'm curious about everything that is unknown, what kind of existence is the root? conscious or unconscious? Where is the sea of roots? Is it really as vast and infinite as the ocean? What is truth? If everyone believes in a fallacy, can it be distorted into truth?"

He squeezed Ai'er's hand and gradually pushed harder, to the point where the green tendons were exposed. Elle could not be hurt or die, but she could feel pain like a real human, but she held back because she saw that the hands on her pocket watch were coming to an end.

"Starry Sky Meditation, Memory Processing, and Analysis, these three systems shouldn't be used against Lu Sien!" Charlotte's lips trembled, and her speech was staccato.

Blood oozed from the corners of his eyes, lips, nose, and ears, and he squeezed El's little hand in pain, but coughed up blood, and cried out in a voice so weak that he couldn't even be heard, "They are not the fountains of power that exalt the Throne of the Roots! They are the treasures I use to analyze all things, and one day, one day I will use them to decipher all the unknown mysteries of the world! This is me, not Charlotte, not Rusen, not anyone! It is the wish of my heart—"

The knuckles turn whitish and then slack violently.

Charlotte slumped in her chair, and at the end of her life, she coughed up blood and muttered, "...... I will still be uneasy, I will still hesitate, I will still be afraid, but in my heart, I still want to exhaust the essence of all things......"

The forces of time and space are corroding the organs, invisible and invisible, like a shockwave that grinds into powder in its path. Charlotte's organs turned into trivial pieces of flesh, blood oozed from her seven orifices, and her ribcage no longer rose and fell.

It was undoubtedly an extremely painful process, and Elle lowered her head and clenched Charlotte's hand, but she couldn't feel the pain in his body.

“…… But no matter what, you'll always take the baton from me...... I trust you as much as I trust myself......"

Lu Sien's face resurfaced in the deep darkness, and even if Charlotte tortured his heart, he still lingered like a ghost.

Only this time Charlotte was not shocked, but looked at him indifferently and muttered to herself.

“…… Maybe, then let's wait and see. Soon, soon I will cut out your soul with my sister's help and banish you to the abyss of eternal darkness......" he said coldly.

The trance returned, and in a whirlwind, Charlotte fell from her chair to the ground!

The Death Reset is in effect, which means that Evan did not succeed in saving Vivien Leigh, and the strategy of the Seven Weeks has completely failed!

"Ahem, ahem!" Charlotte clutched her chest and fell to her knees and coughed loudly, even though she knew that her body was unharmed, but the pain of tearing her internal organs at the end of the seven weeks still made her throat bitter.

Memories bring false information to the body, making every nerve painful as tearing. A pair of small hands wrapped around his arm, and it was Elle who was comforting herself.

Charlotte breathed for a while, then raised her head and said, "Don't worry, Elle, I ......"

He slammed his mouth shut as El's face was filled with panic like never before.

"What's wrong? Al. Charlotte asked worriedly, "Don't worry, I'm fine, I'm still Charlotte Clayderman." ”

Elle shook her head in panic and pointed to the pocket watch on the small round table, "Hour, time, ......"

Time!?

Charlotte immediately realized something, he grabbed the pocket watch on the table in a panic, looked at it fixedly, and suddenly his heart fell to the freezing point!

The time on the pocket watch is 2 a.m.

But Elle's spell cast time was 3 o'clock in the morning, and the spell hit time was a full 72 hours!

In other words, if the death reset is in effect, the time should be reset to 3 a.m. on the third day, not 2 a.m.!

Then here's the problem!

How many days is it since Charlotte wakes up from the Witch's Castle?!
