Witch Special

There are many ways to read memories, but it is obvious that those magics are not applicable to the current situation.

After all, Lin Zhenxi felt that it was good enough that this brain could still maintain its activity. Obviously, it couldn't be expected to maintain its self-awareness. Memory-reading magic generally required feedback from the target's brain activity, such as using language to guide the target to recall the past and then reading the memory fragments that flashed through their mind.

After Lin Zhenxi washed away the mystery, this brain has become a dead object in the mystical sense, and it is unlikely to have any normal response to the magic that reads memories.

But is there no other solution?

How is that possible? Miss Witch has many ways to deal with it.

Since she couldn't use memory-reading magic on living things, why not just treat the brain as a dead object?

In the wizarding world, there's a spell called the Flashback Charm that can be used to check what magic someone else's wand has cast. Based on the Flashback Charm, a series of retrospective spells have been developed, ranging from tracing back what magic appeared in an area to what events had occurred there. Each spell has a corresponding magic to achieve this.

Of course, learning backtracking magic is very difficult. It requires the user to have sufficient perception of time and even space and time. If the perception is insufficient, it is easy to fall into a state of perceptual confusion and feel that life is worse than death.

But Lin Zhenxi obviously did not have any problems in this regard. She learned this kind of magic quite smoothly. She did not even regard it as an important and special magic. She learned it very easily and put it aside. If she did not need to use it now, who knows how long she would have forgotten this knowledge.

If the brain is treated as a dead object, Lin Zhenxi can use magic to restore the events that happened around it. If "historical replay" is combined with projection magic, even those around the target can see the target's experience.

And this is exactly the effect Lin Zhenxi needs now.

Historical Rewind might be a high-level magic that is very difficult to cast for others, but with Lin Zhenxi's current time manipulation ability, the cost and pressure of casting this spell are almost negligible.

It was just that it took a bit of time to connect the historical rewind and projection magic, so Lin Zhenxi had to adjust the spell on the spot, which wasted a lot of time.

Fortunately, everyone present was patient. Even though Lin Zhenxi stood there motionless, they did not speak to interrupt her thoughts. After all, they could see that Lin Zhenxi was thinking.

After completing the connection between historical replay and projection magic in his mind, Lin Zhenxi reopened his eyes, raised his hand, and pointed his wand at the brain floating in the nutrient solution in the jar.

"History goes back!"

The magic light illuminated the entire room, and when the light dimmed, the entire room became pitch black.

The lighting system in this room was still functioning normally, but above that, Lin Zhenxi used magic to construct a pure black projection space to play what this brain had experienced before.

The magical images produced by historical replay are played in reverse order. The farther away from the present, the blurrier the images will become. If you want to obtain clear image data, you must invest more magic power.

This dark period was due to the contamination, which covered the past in the brain. Now that Lin Zhenxi had washed away the contamination, the records of this period had also disappeared.

However, blank images do not consume much magic power, and Lin Zhenxi is also speeding up the playback of these images, trying to skip the contaminated parts as quickly as possible and see the truly valuable pictures.

Under Lin Zhenxi's strong promotion, the historical images were played at a hundred times the speed, but no one knew how long this brain had been polluted, and that layer of blank darkness had not yet subsided.

In the end, even Yan Qing began to suspect that Lin Zhenxi had an accident. Otherwise, why did this pitch-black room suddenly light up before the picture was displayed?

The current picture is a three-dimensional image displayed based on projection magic. It looks lifelike. There is only a certain amount of image blur where Lin Zhenxi and the other three are and on the surface of the jar, but it does not have much impact on the overall viewing experience.

While historical replay also involves replaying firsthand experiences, it doesn't rely solely on memory reading, but rather on image generation based on time magic and divination. This doesn't create a first-person perspective based on the eyes, but rather a free perspective based on the object being cast. Because of this, Lin Zhenxi and the others not only saw what the brain had experienced before, but also what its owner looked like when he was still healthy.

The owner of this brain was actually a very cute girl. She also had brilliant blonde hair, which was tied into two ponytails with two black ribbons. Her hair flew left and right as she ran.

Her outfit also looks quite cute, with a fluffy white skirt with a lot of lace and bow designs, and a low-cut front. Her breasts, which are too plump compared to her figure, support a large area of ​​dazzling white, forming a very sharp color contrast with the black jewel bow tie tied around her neck.

However, her sweet and lovely face was now completely occupied by fear. She was running towards the portal in front of her with all her strength. Behind her was a burning ruin. Black muddy substances were rushing towards her from all directions like waves. On the surface of those unknown substances, a large number of palm-like tentacles grew, baring their fangs and claws at her.

Because the video was played in reverse, Lin Zhenxi and the others were the first to see the girl's end. At the very beginning of the video, the girl was grabbed by black hands just before she rushed into the portal. She looked desperately at the black mud behind her. And within the black mud, two blood-red pupils appeared, not parallel to each other.

Then her sanity completely went offline. As for how she finally passed through the portal and returned to the main world, it would probably depend on the mental pollution that had been purified by Lin Zhenxi.

In other words, when she passed through the portal that the "Company" had used to bring her back, she was already contaminated. The "Company" didn't directly cleanse the contamination from her, but instead placed her with Yan Qing. Then, in the placement center, her flesh and blood erupted due to the mental contamination, leaving her in her current state with only her brain left.

So miserable.

This girl's experience also reminded Lin Zhenxi that she had always believed that the "Company" would repair the physical injuries of the special envoy when helping it return, because she had experienced memory loss more than once. This was because she had come into contact with high-level mysteries in other worlds that exceeded the upper limit of her current mystery. When she returned, the "Company" helped her seal that part of her memory.

It seems that the "company" will only help deal with memories that are harmless in themselves but are just too mysterious, and for those contaminations that have already caused damage to the body, the "company" will not directly provide medical assistance.

Of course, if the idea is darker, perhaps the "company" is allowing this pollution to become more serious, and we can observe what consequences will arise.

But at least the "company" is not so heartless as to completely watch the situation go to waste, otherwise it would not have arranged a three-party consultation between Lin Zhenxi, Liz Nightingale and Yan Qing to solve this pollution problem from the perspective of science and mysticism.

With the medical level of the "company", as long as the brain is intact and not completely necrotic, it can actually be saved.

The worst that can happen is to rebuild a new body. As long as the brain is fine, transplant the brain into the new body, awaken the soul sleeping in the head, and then after a long rehabilitation of unknown time, there is actually hope of recovery.

Lin Zhenxi froze the image at the moment when the girl was staring into the red eyes in the black mud before being completely swallowed by it, and then walked over to carefully observe what was inside the black mud. Unfortunately, the black mud in the image was completely boiling, and even the two eyes were severely obscured. Lin Zhenxi stared for a long time, but saw nothing.

"Is there anything else you want to see? If not, I'll keep going. Maybe there's some valuable information ahead." In fact, at this time, Lin Zhenxi still wanted to see if the thing in the black mud had revealed its true face. Although he already knew what the enemy was, its true identity was still unknown, and it would probably be difficult to deal with it.

Yan Qing and Liz Nightingale remained silent, as the current situation was no longer within the medical field, and their opinions on the matter were limited.

Lin Zhenxi waited for a few seconds. The room was still quiet, so she assumed that both of them had no objection.

The footage then restarted, and because it was played in reverse, the characters' movements looked strange. But Lin Zhenxi's focus wasn't on the fleeing girl, but on the burning environment around her.

Did all that burning seem to be mechanical junk? Lin Zhenxi saw a vast amount of scrap around him: robots with missing limbs, manipulators clearly missing parts, even monitors with shattered screens and large holes. The world across the way seemed to harbor a high level of technological civilization.

However, those alien races clearly live in a very primitive way, and the various troubles that the "company" is encountering in that world must have a lot to do with the intelligence errors.

Lin Zhenxi continued to read to see if there was any more valuable information.
