Witch Special

"Travel the World"—these four ordinary Chinese characters, when strung together, seem to possess boundless charm. Countless journeys, endless fantasies, and an endless future unfold on this foundation.

However, no matter how ornate the words, the writer's words ultimately pale and superficial, hollow and powerless in the face of true "time travel." For it is a magnificence that defies words, or even thought. As one crosses the barrier between worlds, countless images of past, present, and future events between the two worlds superimpose themselves, flashing before the traveler's eyes like a slideshow. Unprepared to absorb this overwhelming amount of information, one's brain might instantly become overwhelmed. While staring directly at such images is undoubtedly dangerous, the allure of embracing both worlds in a single instant is irresistible. Even a single glance at the magnificent scenery is enough to leave one without regrets.

Every special envoy undergoes this test when traveling through time. Experienced ones, like Lin Zhenxi, close their eyes in advance, reducing their attention to the outside world and focusing on the "truth" they bring out from the gaps between worlds when traveling through time.

This is a benefit that only comes when you come into contact with a new and different world. At the moment of crossing, you can get a limited glimpse of the light of "truth".

Or perhaps it's the "root," or not. It's knowledge that truly comes from the very foundations of the world, potentially pertaining to its birth and destruction, or even the origin and end of life. Each world's origins are unique, and the size and content of the knowledge fragments obtained vary. But regardless of the outcome, for a special agent at Lin Zhenxi's level, it's a massive experience package, enough to boost her several levels. By thoroughly understanding the truths of those worlds, she'll unlock even greater possibilities.

In the previous times of traveling through time, Lin Zhenxi gained considerable benefits from the process of traveling through the world, so she hoped to do the same this time.

As expected, a flood of chaotic information flooded into Lin Zhenxi's mind. It was so chaotic that it was almost impossible to discern any logic. However, this information was indeed a small part of the truth that constituted this world.

Such a chaotic and unorganized collection of thoughts was certainly impossible to memorize. Perhaps a glimpse of a small piece of knowledge from it could be of great benefit, but Lin Zhenxi was clearly not satisfied with this. Now that he had come, there was no reason to let it go. Rather than taking a chance and memorizing a small part of it, Lin Zhenxi chose to package it up and store it, to slowly analyze it later when he had time.

This is the advantage of magic over technology. Magic's highly idealistic nature allows it to possess precise and reliable methods for dealing with intangible things like memory and the soul. Lin Zhenxi can transform memories into silver threads and store them in small bottles for long-term storage, while those on the technological side are still figuring out how to retrieve memories from the brain's grooves.

It took a lot of effort to pack up this piece of "world truth" fragments that contained a lot of information and was a bit exaggerated. Lin Zhenxi rubbed his swollen temples and prepared to receive new information.

This time, she didn't need to close her eyes - because the journey was already complete.

Lin Zhenxi was standing in a translucent bubble that was constantly rippling. Outside the bubble lay a dark, narrow alley. Two tall buildings, their mirror-smooth curtain walls, formed the left and right sides of the alley.

Lin Zhenxi saw an overturned trash can, sewage flowing freely on the ground, and a broken bicycle with rusty and deformed wheels leaning against a small step. The entire alley looked dirty and messy.

Although the initial landing environment wasn't particularly favorable, Lin Zhenxi breathed a sigh of relief at the sight before him. Being grounded meant he wasn't in outer space, avoiding the worst-case scenario of being killed by a door. The presence of buildings suggested civilization, avoiding the next worst-case scenario of a barren wasteland. And the tattered-looking bicycle confirmed to Lin Zhenxi that the natives of this world were likely human, and had developed a civilization similar to that of humans. For an unknown world, there could hardly be a more dreamlike and perfect start than this.

This almost meant that as long as she found a point of entry, she could blend into this world beautifully without any abrupt traces. Lin Zhenxi pursued a strategy of integration, and this world with a similar worldview was quite suitable for her to carry out her operations.

Then, it's time to understand what the content of your commission is...

It's quite tricky to say. If it was a normal commission, Lin Zhenxi should first meet with the client in the office to understand the client's demands, and in the process, have a rough personality portrait of the person to be executed by the commission.

There are many different ways that time travelers travel through time. Some travel directly through time, some have their souls travel to another world and take over the bodies of natives. Still others simply reincarnate into another world by mistake. Even in the first case, the difference in living environment often leads to drastic changes in a person's appearance. The latter two cases are even more so. They have no connection to the time traveler's previous incarnation, so naturally, their appearance will not be similar at all.

At this time, the only thing left to refer to is the personality portrait. Even if the appearance has changed completely, at least the soul is still the same, and some small habits in life can always be traced.

While this clue could hardly be called a clue, it was the only reference in a situation where he was completely in the dark. Furthermore, it was precisely by virtue of the personality portrait he had created that Lin Zhenxi had successfully completed the previous commissions.

However, this time, she hadn't even met the client, so naturally, she couldn't construct a personality profile. In fact, up to this point, she had no idea who she was looking for. She still needed to wait for feedback from the company.

The translucent "membrane" currently protecting Hayashi Maki and separating her from this other world is the company's final act of assistance in this world. After each teleportation, the company's protection of the special envoy does not disappear immediately, but persists for a period of time. Of course, the true purpose of this "membrane" is to facilitate information exchange with the other world and facilitate the transfer of the special envoy's authority. As long as this membrane remains, the special envoy remains under the company's jurisdiction. It will only disappear when the other world is ready to accept the special envoy.

It feels like two companies are seconding employees to each other. The special envoy was originally an employee of Company A, and now he is going on a business trip to Company B. Company A needs to send a special car and a special person to be responsible for delivering the employee, and have Company B sign to confirm that the employee has been delivered safely.

When the membrane disappears, the company will simultaneously share the information exchanged from the otherworld's world will with the special envoy. This is the company's final gift to the special envoy from this world. After conveying basic information about the otherworld to the special envoy and helping them understand what this world is like, the company will completely withdraw from this world. Only after the special envoy completes the task and communicates with the otherworld's world will, the world will come forward to notify the company to come and pick them up. The company's forces will then re-enter the otherworld. During this period, the special envoy will not be able to contact the company.

Many of the special agents who journeyed to another world and never returned weren't actually dead, but simply couldn't find their assigned targets, causing their missions to stall completely. Unable to complete their missions, the world's will naturally despised them, and naturally, no one would summon them to the company on their behalf. Consequently, they were trapped and perished in the other world. As for what would happen next, that was a standard feature of every other world.

It's always some very unfriendly things.

But that was all normal. From what Princess White had said, the world's will in this other world had crashed and was no longer functioning properly. Lin Zhenxi had no idea how much information the company could exchange with this world. If she couldn't get anything, she would be completely unfamiliar with this world. Then, she would have to start gathering intelligence from the most basic texts, and her stay in this world would likely be significantly extended, potentially costing her years.

It’s a good start. I hope there won’t be any big mistakes in the information exchange process... Lin Zhenxi has no ability to interfere with this process and can only pray silently in his heart.

Not long after, the thin film wrapped around Lin Zhenxi began to fade. Lin Zhenxi tensed his nerves, swung his hand, and held the elderberry wand in his hand, ready to truly step into this strange world.

After a few seconds, the membrane finally broke, and a large amount of information suddenly flooded into her mind like a compressed file being decompressed.

Fortunately, this information has been sorted out by the company, unlike the fragments of knowledge about the world's truth that need to be sorted out by oneself. Almost the next second after the information enters the brain, Lin Zhenxi's brain completes receiving this information.

Fortunately, it contains some basic background information about this world. Unfortunately, this world is quite dangerous, even for Lin Zhenxi.

The unique rules of this different world are not friendly to Lin Zhenxi.
