Witch Special

"Who are you?"

"We are you." x5

The meaningless conversation that Lin Zhenxi had when she first discovered parallel consciousness was played out again, but this time, Lin Zhenxi's true self was pulled into the conference room in her brain by the parallel consciousnesses. Seeing the parallel consciousnesses in the conference room, who were dressed differently and had different images but all had faces like her own, Lin Zhenxi's true self was completely messed up.

This was clearly a responsibility that Lin Zhenxi had assigned, but now the parallel consciousnesses had to introduce themselves, which made the parallel consciousnesses feel very interesting.

The gentle figure wearing glasses, a plaid shirt, and short hair is Parallel Consciousness No. 1, who is in charge of intelligence analysis and data sharing and calls herself the big sister and leader of Parallel Consciousness.

The one with colorful elemental balls floating around him, wearing a wide-brimmed witch's pointed hat that covers the upper half of his face, and the crisp sound of elemental annihilation emanating from him from time to time is Parallel Consciousness No. 2, who is responsible for the research of the First Law: Elemental Resonance.

Dressed fashionably and revealingly, even with her belly button exposed, she has pierced ears and wears earrings shaped like a shrunken space cube, and a golden hourglass bracelet on her wrist. She unscrupulously shows off her figure in front of her ego. This is Parallel Consciousness No. 3, who is responsible for the research of the second law: equivalent exchange.

With her long hair loose, wearing a white dress, and even a white tulle on her head, she has a holy temperament. She sits quietly and peacefully like a white peony. Parallel Consciousness No. 4 is responsible for the third law: the research on the materialization of the soul.

He was dressed like a complete eccentric, with countless pockets on his robe covered in colorful stains, his glasses were as thick as the bottom of a beer bottle, his hair was messy and unkempt as if it had never been properly taken care of, and he would occasionally let out uncontrollable neurotic laughter. This was Parallel Consciousness No. 5, who was responsible for the research of the three major magical disciplines: alchemy, potions, and inscriptions.

And the last one, Parallel Consciousness No. 6, who has two buns on his head, wears training clothes, sits cross-legged on the seat, closes his eyes and says nothing, is responsible for 24-hour uninterrupted meditation.

Wow, it's so versatile and powerful, it just offloads most of the things I'd normally think about to myself. What on earth did I go through in my previous life to come up with something so outrageous... I guess the word "thing" can't describe this; calling it a professional team would be more appropriate.

After getting to know everyone in the conference room in his mind, Lin Zhenxi immediately got into the role and began to assign tasks to the parallel consciousnesses.

Lin Zhenxi actually has quite a few pressing priorities right now. Even though she completed the great magic she'd pursued for years in her previous life, the pursuit of truth is a process where the more you explore unknown territory, the more you discover. The higher you stand, the further you see, and the more you don't understand, the more your thirst for knowledge continues to grow. This can be called a thirst for knowledge, or a curse of knowledge, depending on the severity.

Parallel Consciousness No. 1's mission was to gather more intelligence, but this required a major prerequisite: it couldn't delay Lin Zhenxi's original actions. Parallel consciousnesses were purely conscious entities, lacking their own bodies and the ability to act independently. Therefore, simply gathering new intelligence that Lin Zhenxi didn't currently know about became a rather difficult task.

In fact, the first problem that Parallel Consciousness No. 1 needs to solve is how to extend its perception beyond Lin Zhenxi's body. Only in this way can it independently access a lot of information without delaying Lin Zhenxi's normal activities.

In other words, what she needed was actually a sharper mental perception over a wider range, which overlapped somewhat with the task assigned to Parallel Consciousness No. 4.

Parallel Consciousness No. 2 is responsible for the research of elemental magic, which is Lin Zhenxi's main means of attack. But now, rather than mastering new magic, Lin Zhenxi wants to know how to further improve his magic power.

Her magic power had now been transformed from liquid to gaseous. However, as far as she knew, the ultimate destination of magic was the all-encompassing Philosopher's Stone, which was undoubtedly a solid crystal of magic. From the diffuse gaseous state to the condensed solid state, there were still many steps to take. However, as with all things difficult at the beginning, as long as one took steady steps, the journey, no matter how long, would eventually be completed. Lin Zhenxi decided to begin by transforming her gaseous magic power into liquid magic that could exist stably outside the body.

Changing from liquid to gas and back to liquid again felt like a complete cycle, but the effectiveness of the magic power had undergone a qualitative leap.

Number Three is responsible for the second law: equivalent exchange. This is the most idealistic of the three golden laws of magic. It claims that as long as the mind is pure enough and the magic power is abundant enough, it is not impossible to become a god in one thought.

Lin Zhenxi didn't need to become a god, at least not at this stage. "Equivalent Exchange" wasn't a school of thought that required much research, best suited for achieving miracles through sheer force. However, since time magic and space magic were both categorized as such, this meant this school of magic offered far more than just attributeless spells.

Lin Zhenxi's mission for Number Three was to study that independent dimension and quickly uncover its functions, already integrated with Lin Zhenxi's mind-field. A separate dimension entirely belonging to Lin Zhenxi meant she could exercise her world-creator authority within it, achieving things she couldn't do in the main material world. Therefore, it needed to be utilized as quickly as possible.

After the Space Cube absorbed the magical essence from the energy pool of the Suspended Tower, Lin Zhenxi's spatial perception ability was enhanced. Similarly, if Lin Zhenxi obtained a time-related weapon or a mysterious item of similar level and used the same method, her time perception ability would also be enhanced.

Well, this is the area where Lin Zhenxi's ego needs to work on. Once she acquires the required props, Number Three can continue working overtime. For now, Number Three's task is to study the Space Cube and the independent dimension attached to it. Because the Space Cube is constantly within Lin Zhenxi's body, Number Three has direct access to it, so the theory won't be divorced from reality.

Number 4's mission is the most practical, because of the third law: the materialization of the soul is directly linked to mental power. Lin Zhenxi's mental power is very strong now. If she does not develop new application methods as soon as possible, this advantage will soon become a burden to her.

The Third Law's fundamental characteristic is the use of pure mental force to interfere with reality, requiring no elemental particles or even magical energy. A vast array of mental magic falls into this category, and soul magic, as a superior form of mental magic, is no exception. Lin Zhenxi's magical reserves limit themselves to this, but since soul materialization can function as a distinct element of the Golden Three Laws, rather than a subsidiary element of the Second Law, it naturally possesses its own unique characteristics.

Beyond the scope of Lin Zhenxi's involvement, the Third Law also covers a large amount of magic related to sacrifice, prayer, faith, and worship. It can be said to be the most mysterious of the three golden laws. The more you pray, the stronger you become.

However, Lin Zhenxi had no faith. Perhaps, as a witch, she believed solely in the knowledge and power she possessed. The "gods" who accepted prayers and sacrifices were generally of high status. Excessive contact with such highly mystical beings, especially when establishing a connection, inevitably led to their mysterious contamination, and both body and soul would no longer be pure. For Lin Zhenxi, this situation was terrifying and unacceptable.

What Lin Zhenxi needed most right now was a broader range of perception. Whether it was elemental perception, material perception, soul perception, spatial perception, or temporal perception, they were all refined branches of perception. Furthermore, perception was also something Parallel Consciousness One needed. They could be a perfect partner to complete this research together.

Parallel Consciousness Number Five's work was much more complex, involving so much that Lin Zhenxi simply didn't set any targets for her, letting her research whatever she pleased. However, the most pressing task was to quickly develop a summoning spell for a mass-produced Asura Rhinoceros Beetle. This would save Lin Zhenxi from having to pull out a jar and cast a copy spell on it every time she wanted to summon some cannon fodder, which sounded quite troublesome.

Number six...ah, little mute, rub your bun.

Of course, meditation is best practiced continuously. While slow, it's also the most direct way to increase strength. If someone could meditate continuously from the Big Bang to the present, then the moment they open their eyes, perhaps all beings in the universe will chant their name and worship them as their Lord. Even though she used to be so busy, Lin Zhenxi always found time for meditation every day. Now she has a parallel consciousness dedicated to this task, which is great. There's no need to modify it at all. It would be even better if she could also take over the spiritual cultivation.

Unfortunately, the cultivation of spiritual power requires the cooperation of spiritual power beads. This is a material matter and must be done personally by Lin Zhenxi.

Unless Lin Zhenxi can make that mental power orb into a soul-binding form, but it seems unnecessary, and Lin Zhenxi's current mental power strength has been seriously exceeded compared to other aspects, and her current demand for mental power strength is extremely low.

After arranging the work, Lin Zhenxi lifted the quilt, jumped out of the bed, stood on the ground barefoot, grabbed the collar of her pajamas and pulled it up, throwing the only covering on her body into the air.

The nightgown that fluttered down from the sky directly covered Yanyan underneath. The black cat poked its head out from the thin fabric that still carried Lin Zhenxi's body temperature, looked at the bathroom from which an off-key humming sound had begun to come out, and sighed deeply.

Her owner, while not bad looking, has a very low femininity. If she were to tidy herself up a bit and pay more attention, she'd be quite cute.

Well, no matter how cute she is, she is not as cute as a cat. Let her bear the cuteness that her owner fails to show.
