Chapter 1892: Infiltration
Meanwhile, just as Director Du began the "Olden Plan"—
the Witch of Time returned to the headquarters of the Time-Space Administration with her two lackeys, Gavre and Gavray.
Like the headquarters of every large organization, this was also a "bubble universe," though it seemed somewhat more advanced than one. It was a "small multiverse."
Its "interior" was an extraordinarily complex yet orderly superstructure composed of countless interconnected and nested "subuniverses," "dimensional interlayers," "time-stream branches," and "possibility planes" that nevertheless maintained relative independence.
Here, you might pass through an ordinary-looking data-stream doorway and step into an "accelerated world" where time flowed ten thousand times faster than outside, designed for ultrahigh-speed calculations or emergency scenario simulations. You might also enter an apparently ordinary corridor, only to find that the "windows" on either side displayed real-time surveillance footage from different parallel universes and historical junctures. Or you could board some form of internal transportation and cross, within minutes, several "jurisdictions" governed by slightly different physical laws, traveling from the "Coordination Court," which handled ordinary civil disputes among universes, straight to the "Crisis Response Center," which specialized in "spatiotemporal paradoxes" and "dimensional invasions."
Space was used with maximum efficiency here, while time became an adjustable resource. The information, energy, and material flows of countless space-times coursed through the countless "blood vessels" and "neural networks" of this "small multiverse," sustaining the operation of this unimaginably vast superorganization.
Gao Gong had been here before. He had no choice—after all, he had been present for every sweep against illicit activities in his previous life.
This time, however, he had not been swept in. He had entered openly, borrowing Gavray's identity.
In his previous life, his understanding had been insufficient. He had merely thought that the Time-Space Administration was a subordinate organization of a civilized
