Chapter 001 Chapter 1
Tarona, a pure human with a max magical talent, is a contemporary witch. She is currently a B-rank officer in the Abnormal Suppression Department of the Space-Time Balance Bureau, responsible for going to various mission worlds to eliminate abnormalities that should not exist.
The world calls officers like her "right ones."
The Time and Space Balance Bureau has made a detailed classification for all worlds that are prone to abnormalities. Among them, there are three types of worlds that are most popular with abnormalities in the past few hundred years:
A variety of British and American, martial arts and comics.
And Tarona is the resident officer of the Anglo-American world.
To what extent do you stay here?
With her eyes closed, she can tell all the love, hate and vengeance between superheroes and super villains. If you have any doubts about the details, you can ask her. She can answer more than 90% of the detailed questions and give the correct answers.
They say practice makes perfect, and this is true. After becoming more and more proficient in finding anomalies, Tarona felt bored, so she started to make things happen.
However, too much manipulation will always lead to failure.
As a contemporary witch and a new-era immortal, Tarona, who cannot bear any loss, had a passionate duel with the goddess of vengeance who was accidentally resurrected and intended to take over her body during a mission.
The result of the sniping match was very encouraging. The Goddess of Vengeance, who had just been resurrected and whose strength had not yet fully recovered, was no match for the Great Witch who held many good cards. After failing in the sniping match, She once again fell into deathly silence.
but--
Because the external force released by Tarona during his passionate confrontation with the Goddess of Vengeance was too strong, the multiverse of the mission world was affected and the stability of the world began to tilt.
Tarona: ...
Tarona:!!!
SOS! Call headquarters!
The Space-Time Balance Bureau, which was called upon by its own officers to kill a series of people, handled the matter properly, but as the creator of the incident, Tarona also paid a painful price.
She gave out one seventh of her small treasury that she had saved for more than a thousand years to convert energy to strengthen the stability of the mission world. In comparison, the 80,000-word review and the tentative promotion of the rating seemed so insignificant.
Tarona: Ah, what a painful realization QAQ
The big witch who lost her small treasury was emo for a long time. In order to restore her small treasury to its original roundness and thickness as soon as possible, she cheered up again and prepared to work hard.
But the vengeful goddess who caused her to lose her small stash of money was so abominable that she couldn't bear to look at the Marvel Universe for a while, so she just took a mission in the DC Universe.
Because she was in such a low mood at the time, she was a little deaf and did not hear the specific content of the mission clearly. It was not until she arrived at the mission world that she found that the target of this mission was not an anomaly, but the most difficult to find anomaly.
Tarona: ...
She suddenly became more emo.
What kind of human suffering is this?
Finding mutants was difficult in the first place, and she was in a very sad mood now. She had originally wanted to earn more money to restore her cute little piggy bank, but now she was here? It was simply difficult on top of difficult.
Why didn't she take a good look at the content when she accepted the task?
[Do you regret it?] Theseus, the exclusive system of Tarona, asked slowly. From the sound of him, it seemed that he was drinking afternoon tea. [I reminded you.]
Tarona squatted on the rotten tail building with air leaking from all sides, staring at the brightly lit city in the distance and the towering Wayne Tower with dead eyes: [Your comfort is always so unique, thank you so much. ]
Theseus accepted her compliment with dignity: [You're wee.]
The witch rolled her eyes at the standard, elegant and pleasant British accent. Her system partner never knew how to read the air and always managed to accurately rub salt into her wounds.
What's even more infuriating is that she and he have been partners for many years and they know each other very well. Apart from being easily irritated, they have a very good understanding of each other, to the point where they know what the other is going to do without even looking at each other.
Tarona frowned and opened the department's internal forum, trying to find some useful experience on the forum.
The targets that the Anti-Alien Division has to face are divided into two categories. One is the mutants that have been fused by the core fragments of the world, and the other is various anomalies that should not appear in this world.
The former is unstable and uncertain, and the mutants that merge with anything in the mission world have super-standard power, which can cause both good and bad consequences, so the solution given by the Space-Time Balance Bureau is to recycle them as soon as possible.
However, since the world core fragments themselves have extremely strong shielding properties, even the world consciousness of the mission world cannot detect their existence. The officers mostly rely on patience and luck to find the Anomalies. Therefore, the difficulty of recovering the Anomalies always fluctuates between hell level and free level.
The latter are creatures or objects from another world, and have the power to disrupt the stability of the world and exceed the existing system of the mission world. They are collectively referred to as anomalies.
Some anomalies can be negotiated. If the negative impact is within a controllable range, and the world consciousness indicates that they can be waived after the repair is completed, then the personnel will send them back to their original world.
But some anomalies cannot. They accidentally came to another world, and after feeling that this environment is completely different from the world they live in, they chose to disrupt and destroy the stability and peace of that world.
Such anomalies must be stopped immediately. If necessary and negotiation is not possible, officers can directly eliminate them on the spot.
Because the anomalies come from another world, they will bring with them a chaotic tearing force before they descend into the mission world. This force often comes from the time and space gap between the worlds, which will seriously interfere with the detection of the world's consciousness, so that it can only determine an approximate range at most. By the time this force dissipates, the anomaly has already set off a huge wave in the world.
This power can interfere with the detection of world consciousness, but cannot interfere with the operators who are also outsiders.
Tarona used to specialize in dealing with anomalies. Finding anomalies requires skills, brains, and luck, which is indeed in her blind spot.
“That’s too much trouble.”
She wants to strike.
Theseus said at the right time: [Excuse me, if you accept the task but don't do it, you will have to pay a fine.]
Tarona: ...
Never mind, she could still fight back.
After watching for most of the night, she finally realized something. In fact, all mutants have one thing in common. They are more or less related to important people in the current world.
Maybe the connection is tortuous, but the final destination will always be connected with important people.
In response to this, Tarona had a bold idea.
At noon the next day, she accosted Bruce Wayne at the gate of the Wayne Group and successfully penetrated the Bat Family with an eighth-level injury assessment.
Theseus: ...
He knew that every Wayne could not escape the unfortunate fate of being scammed by his partner.
Facing Batman's secret inspection, Tarona was not afraid at all.
Although she is not easily injured, the serious injuries she suffered in the sniper battle with the Goddess of Vengeance more than 20 years ago have not yet fully healed. If this is shown to Batman, her eighth-level disability assessment would be the lightest.
After staying in an environment surrounded by bats for a week, Tarona clearly developed a very subtle perception. She could vaguely sense the existence of mutants.
But this is not enough.
So she launched an attack on the Bat Family and the Justice League, and this perception became stronger as she came into contact with more and more important people.
When she finally saw the last member of the Bat-Family, the charming two-hundred-pound red barrel, she accurately sensed the Altered Thing.
It's a potted plant in Jason Todd's safe house.
She also has a poetic name, Vivian.
Tarona:...Fuck!
She immediately sat up in shock from her dying state, no longer looking disabled even by Kryptonian technology, and rushed forward at full speed, with several bats following her.
Tarona accurately found the safe house of Red Hood that was unknown to the Bat Family. She picked up the mutated potted plant with one hand, turned around and used a magic to freeze Superman who came to support her in mid-air. She flicked her wrist and released an isolation barrier to cover herself. She smiled apologetically to Jason Todd, who was so angry that he even pulled out his gun: "I'm sorry, dear Jay, I will return the potted plant. Bye everyone!"
Before he finished speaking, Theseus, who was on the outside of the world, activated the teleportation array. Batman missed it, and only two cute USB flash drives were left there.
One contains information about the heavyweight villains that the Justice League will encounter in the future, and the other is a weapon to help the Bat Family promote their relationship.
Well, there are many videos and audio recordings in there that were secretly filmed and recorded by Tarona, and many copies have been sent to the Bat-Family members who are unable to speak.
The mission was successfully completed, and Tarona reported her discovery to the headquarters, who rewarded her with double the bonus. This made the big witch, who had lost her small treasury, happy for several days, and her enthusiasm for work was rekindled.
Help me up, I can still work!
After kindly comforting his friend who was heartbroken because of his thin-skinnedness, Tarona went to the mission area humming a little tune to receive a series of missions about anomalies, and then turned around to go to the vest card pool.
She didn't use vest cards before, mainly because when she first started doing missions, there were no fashionable props like vest cards. Later, when they were available, she had already gotten used to entering the mission world in her true form.
In the previous world, she was lying there with nothing to do, so she gave herself a full body magic check.
The injury he received during the sniper duel with the Goddess of Vengeance was soul damage, which can only be healed slowly and cannot be healed in a hurry. Therefore, after more than 20 years of healing, nearly 20% of the damage has not been healed.
This time she received a series of missions, the level of which fluctuated around A level. The minister suggested that she use a vest card to avoid the same unexpected situation from happening again.
“再不濟，馬甲卡也能作為一次性的絕對防禦使用，你要是再受到靈魂傷害，可就必須得停職療養了。”
幹員守則第一條，幹員的生命安全高于任務。
塔羅納覺得部長說的對，再者，她對馬甲卡也很好奇。
時空平衡局的馬甲卡池分為兩大類，一類是有借鑒原型的，比如在原有人物的基礎上發展出各種有理有據、腦洞大開的if線；一類是純原創和半原創，前者從頭到尾是開發者自己想出來的設定，後者則有一部分借鑒了某些種族和某些個體的能力。
塔羅納去的馬甲卡池是第二類，第二類的馬甲卡更方便她操作。
命運女神總是那麽的漫不經心，塔羅納來了個十連抽，統共一百抽，就只抽到了兩個SR和一個SSR，而她領取的系列任務有九個世界。
大魔女抹了一把臉，安慰自己，這很可以了，好歹比隔壁大京的運氣好。
相柳京:……
你禮貌嗎！
塔羅納拿着三張新鮮出爐的馬甲卡看了看，決定暫時收手，等她從第一個任務世界回來以後再抽個十連試試看。
說不定那會兒運氣就變好了呢。
三張馬甲卡，該怎麽選擇呢？
大魔女背着手去了交接處，她選不出來，就讓任務世界幫忙選好了。
第一個任務世界是什麽樣的世界，危險等級高還是低，就是決定她用哪張馬甲卡的判斷依據了。
運氣還不錯，第一個任務世界她可以去圍觀一下鄧布利多校長套路小救世主。
這個世界難度不大，那就帶一張SR好了。
兩張SR，塔羅納選擇激活【血怨修女】。
這是一張厲鬼身份的馬甲卡，就很适合霍格沃茲那個幽靈滿學院飄蕩的大城堡，而且【血怨修女】還是個暴力輸出的狂戰士。
魔法師最了解魔法師，她可以直接物理打斷敵人施法，蝙蝠俠的麻醉劑戰略還是很好用的。
激活馬甲卡後，塔羅納又買了兩個可以提醒幹員及時避免世界意識無意識攻擊的道具，對連接處的小姐姐揮揮手，她帶着自己的系統搭檔走進了傳送陣裏。
這本該是一次普通又平凡的流程，然而——
在傳送還未過半的時候，她倒黴地遇到了新世界誕生，其誕生時所産生的龐大能量潮直接沖潰了她的傳送陣。
塔羅納只來得及憑借多年練就的手速給自己和忒休斯疊上十八層保護魔法，洶湧的能量潮便就已經迎面襲來，她被沖擊得眼前一黑，随即就什麽都不知道地昏了過去。
……
無意識的黑暗持續了很久，塔羅納依稀感覺到自己在漂浮、吸引、墜落，緊接着是轟的一聲巨響……
她似乎、可能……是砸穿了什麽。
又是一段漫長的時間過去了，有溫暖的光照在她的臉上，耳邊響起了清脆的鳥啼聲，還有蝴蝶振翅的聲音，露水從葉片上滴答落下……
【塔小姐！】
【……塔小姐！】
【塔羅納！——】
暗紅色的眼睛倏地睜開，燦金的陽光漫入應激般豎起的眼瞳中，意識還有些昏沉的塔羅納看到了湛藍得沒有被污染過分毫的天空。
——是忒休斯叫醒了她。
“……我還活着。”
塔羅納單手撐着地坐起來，她晃了晃腦袋，擡眼掃視四周。
她想，她知道自己砸穿了什麽了。
——是大地。
她正坐在一個大坑裏，隕石砸進地裏就是這樣的坑，她是直接從天上掉下來的。
沒有減速，墜落地是……森林。
以她為中心，直徑近兩百米內寸草不生，全部推平。
見搭檔有些搖晃地站了起來，忒休斯這才淺淺地松了一口氣:【你最好檢查一下，我現在位于世界外側，無法對你進行全身掃描，如果你的身體和靈魂出現任何損傷，我建議你立刻中止任務返回總部。】
塔羅納震掉身上的泥土，點點頭，對自己釋放了一個全方位的檢測魔法。
魔法顯示她沒有受傷，頭暈只是因為她掉下來的時候，是頭先着的地。
啊這……
忒休斯很客觀地做出點評:【塔小姐，你的血條和你的防禦一樣厚。】
塔羅納:“……我就當你是在誇我了。”
【當然。】
大魔女揉了揉太陽穴，道:“忒休斯，開啓探測世界模式。”
【好的，塔小姐。】
這本該是塔羅納進入世界的那一刻起就開啓的模式，但因為搭檔遲遲未醒，忒休斯着急得沒有心思去管別的。如果塔羅納再醒晚一點，他就要啓用系統搭檔的權限，強行中止幹員的任務，帶着人返回總部了。
塔羅納等了半天都沒有等來忒休斯的探測結果，她在随便找了一處還能坐的石頭坐下去，一邊重新系靴子上的綁帶，一邊問道:“怎麽了忒休斯？發現異常了？”
開局就發現異常，要真是這樣，她頭先着地掉下來也不虧。
忒休斯欲言又止，止又欲言，最後很是艱難地說道:【塔小姐，我們……怕是進錯世界了。】
塔羅納動作一頓，滿臉懵:“哈？”
什麽進錯世界？
進錯什麽世界？
忒休斯把剛剛探測到的畫面轉給了塔羅納:【雖然霍格沃茲沒有聯網，但……】
探測畫面展開，引入眼簾的，是一群正在田間辛苦勞作的人。
臉，是标标準準的東方面孔。
衣服，是标标準準的古代農民勞作便服。
還有套在牛身上的農具，是樣式很古老的犁。
最後是遠處，那一排排泥磚和粗石壘起來的房屋。
塔羅納自己就是純種的華夏人類，這些簡直不要太眼熟，翻翻歷史都能找到原樣的。
問題來了，西方可能會出現這樣的畫面嗎？
怎麽可能！
小救世主所在的世界背景最初時間都能到二十世紀九十年代左右啊！
東方也不可能會有這樣的畫面！
難道是與世隔絕的桃花源嗎！？
塔羅納像是被雷劈了一樣呆愣住了，忒休斯叫了她好幾聲，她才回過神來:“莫非是因為那股能量潮？”
這也不是不可能，傳送陣被沖潰，她和忒休斯沒被卷進時空裂縫裏就是運氣很好了，只是世界錯誤而已，莫慌。
先聯系總部。
謝天謝地通訊是正常的。
忒休斯将他們現在的情況一五一十地上報了，總部那邊問過他們兩個的安全狀況後，就讓他們稍等片刻，顯然是有了別的安排。
一人一系統在內線裏你看看我，我看看你，都有一種說不上來的感覺。
總部不會是想……将錯就錯吧。
塔羅納打了一個冷顫，狠狠搖搖頭。
不可能，絕對不可能！她可是綜英美那邊的常駐幹員，這個世界明顯是東方古代世界，且還不知道究竟是個什麽性質的世界，一無所知的她怎麽可能搞得來啊？
總部那邊當然不會想将錯就錯，但也和塔羅納想的差不多。
【是這樣的，塔幹員，在你們上報之前，也有一個常駐綜武俠類世界的幹員上報了相同的情況。經過我們的調查和檢測，因為此次新世界誕生的能量潮沖擊範圍比較廣泛，你與這位常駐綜武俠類世界的幹員都是這場意外的受害者，萬幸你們都沒有受傷，但是……你們很巧合地對調了任務世界。】
塔羅納:“……意思是我現在在綜武俠世界，而對方去了我本該到達的綜英美世界？”
部長的表情略有些沉痛:【是這樣的，而且，那位幹員已經開始做任務了。】
塔羅納直接跳起來:“開始做了？不是！那根本就不是他的任務世界好嗎？他一個常駐綜武俠世界的幹員怎麽做得了綜英美世界的任務啊！？”
【……這也不能完全怪他，他降落的地點和時機就不是很對。】部長嘆了一口氣，【異常正在阿茲卡班大亂鬥，他落下去的時候正好趕上裏面的囚徒掙脫束縛，而他還沒有融合馬甲卡，依舊是真身形态。】
塔羅納嘴角一抽，發現了華點:“冒昧問一句，他的種族是什麽？”
部長又嘆了一口氣:【他是泰坦巨人，外形比較賽博朋克風。】
大魔女:……啊這。
先不論外形走什麽畫風，就光是主宇宙泰坦巨人這個種族，他們的最小拟化身高都是五米往上，怪不得要帶馬甲卡了，這不帶馬甲卡根本做不了任務。
……等等。
“阿茲卡班還好嗎？”
部長已經把今日份的氣都嘆完了:【他降落世界的時候是昏迷的，無意識地恢複了真身形态，已經成年的泰坦巨人身高最少都是一百米，他的體型可想而知。阿茲卡班已經變成了隕石坑，連帶着那座海島一塊兒沉下去了，這還是世界意識幫忙接了一下的結果。】
塔羅納看了看自己砸出來的大坑，再聯想一下阿茲卡班的占地面積，她意味不明地發出一個單音:“哈。”
這波直接清場，伏地魔痛失得力幹将。
她都不敢這麽搞。
‘好慘啊，我的倒黴同事。’
She suddenly felt so good. Fortunately, this era was ancient enough and the environment had not been overdeveloped. The place where she landed was a standard wilderness, and there was not a single person within a hundred miles.
Tarona suppressed the relief on his face, sat back on the stone, and asked in a serious manner, "What do you mean, Minister?"
The minister reached out and took several newly drafted documents from the desk, scanned them and sent them to Tarona: [After discussion, we came up with two options - one is to return to the headquarters immediately and take up the mission again; the other is to continue the mission, and the type of the mission world is the world you landed in. ]
Tarona nodded and looked through the documents carefully.
The Minister explained: [But there is a tricky problem here. The energy tide generated when the new world is born will take at least a year to subside. During this period, all transmissions cannot be guaranteed to be 100% stable. The technical department will work overtime for about a month before they can come up with a solution.]
One month?
Tarona paused in turning the pages. At her usual speed, a month would be enough for her to complete one or two tasks.
No, the delay is too long and it will affect her plan to fill her piggy bank.
Furthermore, her transmission channel has been affected once, so the chances of it being affected a second time are very high.
Tarona lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then raised his head and said, "Minister, tell me about the second plan."
The Minister said: [For the second option, since the world you used to live in was not the type of world you landed in, the headquarters will lower the completion standard of the mission. As long as the mission rating reaches B level, the headquarters will directly settle it as A level. Of course, if the mission rating can be higher, then the final settlement will also be based on the higher previous level. ]
[As for rewards, the rewards for a single world and the settlement of a series of tasks will be doubled. As for the bonuses... do you think triple is appropriate? This is also the compensation from the headquarters for you suffering this unprovoked disaster.]
double.
three times.
Just by hearing these two words, Theseus knew what his partner's final decision was.
"I do!"
The Great Witch's dark red eyes suddenly became startlingly bright, and her gaze was so determined that it seemed as if she could charge into the battlefield for the peace of the main universe in the next moment: "Maintaining world stability is our unshirkable responsibility!"
Theseus rolled his eyes and disappeared.
The minister looked at her with satisfaction and said, "You have a very good understanding, Officer Ta. Now that the decision has been made, please sign after reading the document. If you have any requests, feel free to ask."
"Uh-huh!"
Tarona nodded vigorously, and every word on the document was so fascinating.
Hey hey hey, double it, triple it!
Ah, the scent of wealth is so addictive!
Isn't it just a change of world type?
She was not afraid at all!
If the world type is changed, will the abnormality no longer be abnormal? As long as it is abnormal, she has rich experience in fighting against enemies.
"My lovely little treasure, just wait, you will soon be able to restore your plump and round waist!"
In this world, only delicious food and wealth cannot be wasted.
