Witch Special

After his brain was about to smoke, Lin Zhenxi finally finished reading the entire diary.

What's amazing is that before Lin Zhenxi read the entire diary, it looked like garbled code. She could understand each word and each symbol separately, but she just couldn't form a coherent sentence. It looked as if the order of the words was deliberately disrupted.

However, when Lin Zhenxi read the last symbol in the diary, the heavenly book that she had forced herself to memorize seemed to be suddenly deciphered, and its true appearance appeared in Lin Zhenxi's mind.

This kind of insurance method that requires all the information to be deciphered is really advanced.

Anyway, the decryption is now complete. Let me show you how it works.

Hum, you need to first use the power of space to circle a range, then modify the coordinate system of this space, compress one coordinate axis to a level lower than the thickness of the book page, and then continue to compress the remaining two coordinate axes, so that the final size of the space slice is smaller than the book page, and then insert this space slice through the end of the book page to complete the initial space containment.

Very good, just like it only takes three steps to put an elephant into the refrigerator, Lin Zhenxi completely understood.

What the hell! (Fall

What kind of operational difficulty is this? It sounds so simple, just roll a city into pieces and insert them into the pages of a book. But it is probably harder to do than letting her ride a broom into space.

Compression of spatial coordinates... Come to think of it, Lin Zhenxi is not unfamiliar with spatial compression. She even has a spell specifically for this situation, which is the space extension spell.

However, the function of the Space Extension Spell is to enlarge a small space, not to shrink a large space. But if you think about it the other way around, isn't the Space Extension Spell equivalent to putting a large space into a small space? It's also space compression.

But the most the Space Extension Spell can do is compress a large mansion into the size of a suitcase. It is not comparable to Patchouli's ability to compress a city with a population of one million into the size and thickness of a piece of paper.

That's too exaggerated and definitely exceeds the design limit of the space extension spell.

But Lin Zhenxi thought about it. The Space Extension Spell was a spell from the wizarding world, and the mysteries of that world had seriously faded. Perhaps in the ancient Age of the Gods, there really was magic that could seal a mountain or a city into a painting.

Given Lin Zhenxi's current level of mystery, if the space extension spell is cast in reverse, he might be able to compress some small objects into the size of a book page.

For example... something the size of a soccer ball.

Lin Zhenxi turned her head to look at the Udumbara flower seeds she had put aside. After being sealed by the magic of "Eternity and Moment", the silver light ball on its outer circle was about the size of a football.

Well, try it first?

It is not difficult to change the Space Extension Spell into the Space Compression Spell. Just compare the Space Extension Spell and the Counter Spell with each other and swap the parameters. You should be able to do it.

Then when Lin Zhenxi was testing this crude reversal spell, it failed.

The block of earth that was released from the spell was indeed compressed, but a very hard solidified space shell appeared on its outer layer. It was so dark that the situation inside could not be seen. No matter how Lin Zhenxi tossed it, it did not move at all.

Lin Zhenxi fretted for a moment over this incredibly hard cube of space, then discovered the reason for its appearance in the original incantation of the Space Extension Spell. It turned out that this shell was what originally limited the expansion range of the Space Extension Spell. In the original spell, space would expand after expansion, and it was this solidified shell that limited this process.

But now, Lin Zhenxi reversed the expansion process of the space extension spell into a compression process, but did not modify its shell data, so the shell was retained, and the interior became a void state environment after space compression.

Without space, there is naturally no carrier for light to propagate, so it is natural for it to turn dark.

Now that we have found the reason, we just need to modify the parameters of the outer shell so that it can shrink synchronously with the changes in the internal space.

Substituting a set of functions into the spell's parameters, Lin Zhenxi easily set up the shell's shrinking behavior. Next, she encapsulated this spell, creating a new space compression spell.

OK, try again!

Lin Zhenxi lifted the magic effect, and the compressed soil returned to its normal size and fell to the ground. Lin Zhenxi picked up the soil he had created with magic, held it in his hand, and examined it, but found no changes.

This discovery gave Lin Zhenxi a boost of confidence in the upcoming experiments. It had been proven that the Space Compression Spell only compresses the spatial scale, not directly affecting objects within it, squeezing them into irreversible pancakes.

After all, the application of this space compression is different from space cutting, nor is it the solidification of space and then the movement of absolute space coordinates. It is a proportional compression of the entire space, which is equivalent to the enlargement and reduction of the scale, and will not affect the actual size of the object itself.

If the compressed space is connected to the real space outside, the compressed space will immediately return to its normal size, and the originally compressed objects will also return to their normal size like the clod of earth in Lin Zhenxi's hand.

Lin Zhenxi cast a new spatial compression spell on the piece of soil. In Lin Zhenxi's full expectation, the stone seemed to be flattened, becoming thinner and thinner, and finally became as thin as a piece of paper.

Lin Zhenxi happily picked up the clod of earth. But what she felt was solidified air. More precisely, a compressed and solidified space. And the potato was sealed within this solidified space.

Compared with Teacher Patchouli's feat of constructing a three-dimensional image of the entire city in an instant, accurately compressing the space without affecting the surrounding environment, Lin Zhenxi's piece of soil that was compressed along with the surrounding space is still far behind.

But compared to the past Lin Zhenxi, it is already a huge improvement.

Lin Zhenxi spread out the Witch's Book and brought the solidified space containing the earth block close to the blank page. The blank page moved forward on its own, actively adhering to the solidified space.

Then this space was completely integrated into the Witch's Book and turned into a realistic painting on the pages.

Lin Zhenxi placed her hand on this page of the Witch's Book, touching the clod of earth in the picture on the page, and her fingers felt the touch of paper.

She succeeded!

Lin Zhenxi tore the piece of paper from the Witch's Book. Now she has two ways to deal with this page. The first is to throw it away directly, and then it will return to its original appearance, and even the space compression effect will be released.

The other option is to tear the page of paper into pieces directly. The sealed space in the page will then collapse, destroying everything sealed inside.

They correspond to liberation and destruction respectively.

If Lin Zhenxi hadn't torn the page from the Witch's Book, she could have adjusted the time of the object sealed within by flipping the pages forward and backward. Of course, this required Lin Zhenxi's talent for time magic. As for how to do this, it involved the second largest of the previously selected usage logs.

That logbook recorded how Patchouli had used time travel to remove the Stage 4 Paradox Entity from Haimen City. Once Lin Zhenxi thoroughly understood that logbook, she would also know how to use the Witch's Book to travel back in time to seal items.

This is also an ability that Lin Zhenxi covets, but since the log has been screened out, it doesn’t matter if you read it when you have time, anyway, it’s not the time now.

She has not forgotten her original purpose. Now that she has mastered the spell of space compression, the next step is to seal the Udumbara seeds in the Witch's Book.

Lin Zhenxi aimed his wand at the ball of light containing the Udumbara flower seeds, silently chanting an incantation. A flash of light passed, and before Lin Zhenxi's expectant gaze, a transparent cube framed the "Eternity and Moment" ball of light. It then began to compress toward the center, quickly shrinking it from its full, three-dimensional form into a thin, two-dimensional sheet.

Yay, it worked!!!

Lin Zhenxi quickly picked up the compressed ball of light and placed it on the blank page of the Witch's Book. The Witch's Book proactively accepted this solidified space, transforming the Udumbara flower seeds and the surrounding "eternity and moment" magic into pictures on its own pages.

As the light ball was taken in, a burst of information suddenly flooded into Lin Zhenxi's mind.

The reason why I use the word "stock" is because they really came out all at once. Lin Zhenxi was stunned for a moment before she digested the content fed back from the Witch's Book, and then her face became very strange.

The information that the Witch Book had just pushed to her was the analysis result of the magic of "Eternity and Moment".

After the orb was sealed within the pages, the Witch's Book immediately conducted a detailed inspection of the sealed contents. Although this inspection didn't allow Lin Zhenxi to immediately unleash Kaguya Horai's signature ability, it did reveal a little about the magic, allowing her to understand a little bit about how it worked.

The so-called moment and eternity are all relative quantities, which is actually the ratio of one's life to the interval between one's heartbeats.

The human body has a natural timekeeper: the heart. The heartbeat frequency is almost constant, and even if it varies, it's not very different. The concept of "a moment" is simply the duration of a heartbeat divided by the length of a person's life, resulting in a very small value. "Forever" is the reverse: the length of a person's life divided by the duration of a heartbeat, resulting in a naturally very large value.

The magic of eternity and a moment, to put it bluntly, is the magic of numbers. By swapping the meanings of these two numbers, a clever equality is established between eternity and a moment. In this way, the concepts of eternity and a moment can be interchanged, and the magic of "eternity and a moment" is complete.
