Witch Special

The intelligence the company collected for Lin Zhenxi showed that this was an outrageous world of "heroes fighting monsters".

If you look at this information on its own, it's not a big deal. It's just a battle between good and evil, a common occurrence in other worlds. The Great Demon King versus the Messenger of Justice, the Magical Girl versus the Fallen Witch, the Demon Hunter versus the Vampire—these kinds of battles are common in the worlds Hayashi Maki has traveled through, with two or even multiple factions often facing off. There are only a handful of completely peaceful worlds where everyone just eats and waits for death, and acts cute and lesbian.

What really gives Lin Zhenxi a headache is the strength of the monsters in this world.

A crisis capable of paralyzing or even destroying a city is considered a Demon-level crisis. Above the Demon-level is the Dragon-level, capable of wiping out several towns, and the God-level, capable of annihilating all of humanity. Is this classification truly flawless? It's terrifying just to look at it.

And this classification is not a joke or symbolic. Aside from the top-level God-level monsters that have never appeared, it seems that Demon-level and Dragon-level monsters are not uncommon.

Lin Zhenxi felt a pang of fear at the thought of encountering a mobile nuclear bomb capable of easily obliterating a city at any moment in this unfamiliar world. According to the monster classifications given in the intelligence, her current state seemed to be limited to dealing with Tiger-level monsters, which wasn't considered high at all. If she encountered a Ghost-level monster, she would likely have to use all her best abilities to escape. If she encountered a Dragon-level monster, she would likely be completely wiped out.

Complete a commission in such a dangerous world? This level of difficulty... As expected, it's an emergency commission for four people. It's really a bit out of the ordinary.

Moreover, although the main danger in this world comes from monsters, if we reverse our thinking, aren’t the heroes who can protect the world order from those terrible monsters equally terrible, or even more terrible?

The more worlds Lin Zhenxi experiences, the deeper her understanding of the saying, "Humans are incapable of understanding one another," deepens. Often, the world's deepest contradictions don't originate from without, but rather arise from within the very fabric of humanity itself. A stab in the back is always the most deadly.

However, even with such a terrible world background, it was still not the most troublesome thing for Lin Zhenxi. Compared with the outrageousness of the content of this commission, the weirdos seemed to be nothing more than a small matter.

No wonder Princess Bai refused to tell Lin Zhenxi the true nature of her commission before arriving, keeping it so secretive. It turns out even the company didn't know the details. Due to the chaotic nature of the world's will, the company couldn't obtain any valid information from it. The only thing the company could confirm was that a time traveler existed in this world, and that this time traveler had already caused profound harm. It was precisely because of this time traveler's prolonged stay in this world, constantly resisting assimilation, that this world suffered immense damage, even losing its ability to communicate with the outside world.

Lin Zhenxi's mission is to find the time traveler among all the intelligent creatures in this world, and then eliminate or take him or her away to help the world eliminate this disease and restore its health.

Normal commissions only require the special envoy to send thoughts and convey emotions. However, this time, the commission requires Lin Zhenxi to help the world "eliminate abnormalities."

But the company didn't give any clues, and the world's will couldn't be relied upon. How could Lin Zhenxi find it?

After much deliberation, Lin Zhenxi felt a sense of collapse. She had no idea what to do. She couldn't possibly take over a TV station and broadcast a worldwide search for a time traveler from Earth, could she? Putting aside the possibility that the time traveler might intentionally hide, wouldn't that be tantamount to announcing to the world that she, too, was a time traveler? Openly revealing her origins would only invite retaliation from the indigenous people of that other world. If any of the indigenous leaders took an interest in the anatomy of someone from another world, Lin Zhenxi would likely be strapped to an operating table and dissected.

In short, it's better to take it one step at a time. As a newcomer, she has absolutely zero foundation in this world. Without anything, naturally, she can accomplish nothing.

But this world, after all, is primarily populated by ordinary people, yet also possesses special abilities. The people of this world are highly receptive to various superpowers. Given this, with the versatility of Lin Zhenxi's wand magic, he should be able to thrive in this world. If he could establish a certain social standing first, then achieving anything else would be much easier.

After all, because they need to fight monsters, the heroes of this world are more known for their destructive power. Talents like Lin Zhenxi, who are good at all kinds of things, are still quite rare.

After formulating the main theme of her next action, Lin Zhenxi officially began her journey to this other world. The first thing she had to do was to master the language and writing of this world.

These items were supposed to be complimentary gifts upon crossing over. To facilitate the mission's operations in the other world, the other world's will would provide a wealth of general knowledge when exchanging information with the company. This included language, writing, the historical development of the current world, and a wealth of contemporary common sense. However, this time the world's will was down, unable to provide Lin Zhenxi with this convenient assistance. Without the other world's active cooperation, the little intelligence the company had gathered was only enough to provide Lin Zhenxi with the general background of this world. Everything else had to be learned on her own.

Lin Zhenxi understood why Princess White had chosen her for this commission. Perhaps the AI ​​had anticipated this happening from the outset. If someone else hadn't mastered the local language and writing quickly, they'd have easily run into misunderstandings and conflicts with the indigenous people, putting them at odds from the outset and greatly increasing the likelihood of failure.

Lin Zhenxi's magic allows her to easily understand unfamiliar languages ​​and texts.

Before leaving the alley, Lin Zhenxi first waved her wand and cast a "Muggle Retreat" spell on herself. This spell can reduce Lin Zhenxi's presence in the eyes of Muggles... that is, people without magical talent, making others ignore her existence but automatically keep their distance from her. It is a very useful permanent spell.

However, this magic has a big problem: it only works on nearby Muggles and cannot penetrate the camera to affect the person behind the screen. So it's OK to use it in places with relatively sparse crowds. However, if it's used in a crowded place, where there's a circle of empty space in the middle of a crowd, the surveillance camera will immediately notice the problem.

The casual use of abilities in a downtown area should not be allowed no matter where you are.

Just now, when Lin Zhenxi was observing the outside from the alley, he saw that although there were many cars on the street outside, there were not many pedestrians on the sidewalk next to it, which was a perfect occasion for "Muggle Retreat".

Walking on the uneven tiles, I walked out of the quiet but strangely smelly alley and came to the place outside where the sunlight could shine.

This should be a planet very similar to the Earth, or even a projection of a parallel world to the Earth. In any case, the glowing and hot star above is exactly the same as the midday sun on Earth, radiating its heat unscrupulously, making the steel jungle filled with reflective glass look like an oven. As long as you stand under the sun, you will feel extremely hot.

Lin Zhenxi raised her hand to cover her forehead, blocking the direct sunlight on her, squinting her eyes slightly, looking at the bright and beautiful city around her.

The bustling traffic before her and the filthy, sewage-filled alleys behind her formed a stark contrast. A city that appeared so beautiful on the surface, but if you peeled back the surface, you could see a rotten and moldy interior. This stark contrast made Lin Zhenxi question the city's governance.

It seems that the government of this world is not doing well.
