The Quick Transmigration Bureau was short-staffed, so it started pulling people in from its various branches.
System 09 was caught up in the mess by sheer bad luck and shoved into the job before it was ready.
09: ...But I'm not a mission System!
The supervisor looked down while filling out a form. "Then what kind of System are you?"
09 answered honestly. "A containment System."
The supervisor: "Containment for what?"
09 smiled kindly. "Nonhumans, demons, monsters."
The supervisor fell silent for a moment, then glanced at the permission change request already submitted. With some difficulty, he said, "That should work, more or less."
He gave an awkward smile. "This way, we won't waste energy looking for new Hosts."
09: ...
Are you serious?
There was no helping it. After a moment of silence, it picked out a few containment subjects that looked almost human and plunged headfirst into the mission worlds.
World One: Supernatural Film Set (Mirror Ghost)
He Yu took a role in a production, but for certain reasons, he didn't join the cast until a month later.
As soon as he arrived, he felt that something was off about everyone there.
Whether they were cameramen or directors, they all acted like quail, trembling with fear while filming.
He Yu was puzzled, but didn't dwell on it.
That night, while they were shooting a scene after dark, the makeup artist touched up his makeup. In the mirror, He Yu caught sight of a vague, graceful figure standing behind him. Ink-black hair fell over red lips, and the figure seemed to smile faintly at him.
That night, He Yu dreamed of the figure again and again.
The next day, he spotted an inconspicuous extra on set. Sitting on a small stool, the person tilted their head and gathered up their long hair.
Half of a snow-white, exquisite face was visible, with crimson lips faintly curved into a smile.
He Yu stared, unable to look away.
World Two: Strange Old Mansion (Paper-Cutout Figure)
Meng Chengyu returned home after completing his studies just as the grandfather of the Jiang family passed away. The Meng and Jiang families had been close for generations, and their younger generation had even been betrothed. So Meng Chengyu went with them to the county town to pay his respects.
The heavy, old-fashioned gate slowly opened, and Meng Chengyu looked up.
Amid the white cloth draped through the main hall, a man in a black changshan sat in silence.
He was slender, his collar buttoned up to the neck. Dark red buttons like drops of blood were fastened high, beneath a pair of deep, somber eyes.
Many servants stood respectfully at his side.
The man's right hand moved slightly, his pale fingers brushing over the brown wooden table. He spoke softly. "A distinguished guest has arrived. I regret that I did not welcome you sooner. Please forgive me."
World Three: The Demonic Imperial Uncle (Cultivated Serpent)
"A demon has brought calamity upon the imperial clan. It takes the form of a snake."
Rumors among the palace servants grew ever more intense. The Crown Prince happened to pass by and overheard a snippet.
Unconcerned, he tugged at his handsome Imperial Uncle's sleeve and asked coquettishly, "Uncle, have you ever seen a snake demon?"
The Imperial Uncle's smile was faint.
A flicker of charm passed through his features, making him look more beautiful than any mortal.
"I have."
"What, would Your Highness like to see one too?"
The other worlds are still undecided.
Shou protagonist. Episodic quick transmigration.
