Witch Special

After calling Black Cat back, Lin Zhenxi picked up the robot ball from the ground, knocked on the shield protecting the lens, and said, "Hey, is it okay?"

The robot didn't react at all, as if it had been completely broken by Yanyan.

"If you don't respond, I'll move your big coconut away."

"That's the energy core of the Fearless Titan, not a big coconut!" Upon hearing that Lin Maki was planning to change the name of his device again, Child Emperor couldn't help it, restarted the little robot, and shouted at Lin Maki.

"Okay," Lin Zhenxi said, and tossed the robot to the ground, unfazed by the thought of breaking it. Indeed, the robot's internal self-stabilizing gyroscopes adjusted the ball's landing position mid-air, while its two mechanical arms transformed into feet, steadily supporting the ball.

"What exactly were you doing just now? I saw colorful lights, but no detector other than optical instruments could effectively observe or measure them. They weren't any form of energy known to science, not even the mental power of a psychic. So, what exactly were you? Or, Ms. Lin, what exactly are you?"

The little robot raised the angle of the camera and aimed it at Lin Maki's face, clearly transmitting her delicate facial expressions back to Child Emperor's display screen.

Lin Zhenxi was stunned for a moment. She really didn't expect that Child Emperor would actually ask this question so directly to her face. She thought that Child Emperor would only doubt her behind her back. It seems that she still underestimated Child Emperor's confidence in himself.

However, she still had no intention of revealing her true identity to Child Emperor. Child Emperor and Saitama were fundamentally different. On Saitama's side, the reason why Hayashi Maki confessed so quickly was mainly due to the insecurity of having just arrived in this dangerous other world, making her desperately hope to find a strong person who could provide her with protection. Magic was a significant plus point, making her seem more valuable.

Of course, after getting to know Saitama, Lin Zhenxi also found that the tricks she had used at the time were actually unnecessary. Saitama was happy to make friends with others, but he was not good at interacting with others. As long as she approached him sincerely, it would be easy to gain Saitama's friendship.

Child Emperor and Saitama, who is isolated from the news, lacks common sense, is alone, and has been enforcing justice alone for several years, but the world doesn't even know his name, are completely two extremes. Child Emperor has in-depth cooperation with the official agencies of this world, whether it is the World United Government or the Hero Association, and has a very important say.

In other words, Child Emperor's remarks may affect the direction of the government of this world. If he knows the identity of Hayashi Maki as a witch and casually says something during a government meeting behind her back, all the efforts Hayashi Maki has made to integrate into this world may be wasted.

Therefore, it would be better for Lin Maki to hide the truth in front of Child Emperor.

Anyway, there is no real magic in this world. As long as Lin Zhenxi herself does not admit it, no matter how outrageous her behavior is, she is at most a special super-powered person.

Lin Zhenxi didn't believe that the people in this world had already fully understood superpowers, which were the personal spiritual manifestations derived from inner visions. It was a power system that was almost as profound as technology and magic, and the depth and breadth of its knowledge was also endless. At least the people in this world could not touch the limits of superpowers.

"Maybe it's because my abilities are special? Besides mental strength, superpowers certainly have other manifestations. Can you please not think of people with superpowers as violent lunatics who can only use telekinesis to hit people?"

"Uh..." Child Emperor thought about the super-powered heroes he knew and those counted by the Hero Association, and felt that Lin Zhenxi's words seemed to encompass all the super-powered people he knew.

After all, in his opinion, the most basic ability of a super-powered person is to be driven by thoughts and use mental power to directly influence things in reality, and the famous No. 2 Tornado of the Hero Association is the top representative in this regard.

Now Lin Zhenxi said that people with super powers have other ways of application besides super powers. This really touches on Child Emperor's blind spot in knowledge. After all, he is just a child with a well-developed brain and does not have such cool abilities as the ability to release mental power.

This is also the reason why Child Emperor is so interested in the combination of superpowers and technology. In the eyes of a child who is extremely smart but only 10 years old, people with superpowers are cool and attractive. If they can be played with, it is worth investing any amount of energy and materials into it.

Child Emperor wanted to say something more, but Lin Zhenxi knew very well that too much talk would lead to mistakes. She had finally managed to trick Child Emperor into thinking something was wrong, and if she said a few more words, he might be exposed.

Moreover, with the strategic-level transformation of mud into stone taking effect throughout J City, the urban subsidence problem faced by J City has been solved. As for the monsters, the most troublesome Deep Sea King has been beaten to pieces by the bald strongman who came, and the remaining minions should not be able to cause any big waves. Now we just need to wait for the sea water to recede from the city, and J City can carry out post-disaster cleanup and inspection and reinforcement of flooded buildings.

In other words, Lin Zhenxi no longer has any reason to stay here. She has already made her efforts for the survival of this city. Unless she wants to gain more benefits from this, her power is no longer needed here.

"Child Emperor."

"what?"

"You said the seawater backflow in J City is caused by the gravitational depression caused by the moon. This means that the seawater will recede on its own sooner or later, right?"

This brings us back to Child Emperor's home turf. In the professional field of science, Child Emperor has always been the subject of consultation by various people. This has also allowed him to cultivate a strong aura of his own. Whenever he starts to explain various scientific principles, his tone is always full of confidence, which makes people involuntarily convinced.

"Yes, I have tools to measure gravitational waves. I can confirm that the gravitational depression covering J City right now isn't stationary. It just happened to pass over J City. In a few hours, the gravitational depression will no longer affect J City. J City's absolute altitude is above sea level. As long as the gravitational depression leaves J City, the seawater in the city will naturally return to the sea."

Child Emperor didn't emphasize the role of J City's drainage system in this incident, because the current situation is that the seawater depth in the coastal areas of J City has reached an absurd number of tens of meters. The seawater doesn't need to enter the drainage system at all, and all the streets are clear drainage channels, so the seawater must have left just as quickly as it came.

"Is that so..." Lin Zhenxi felt that she had to find something for Child Emperor to do. Otherwise, this guy had already started to take an interest in her, and there would definitely be trouble later. "Since you have confirmed that the gravitational depression comes from the moon, have you ever thought about why the moon has this gravitational anomaly?"

Child Emperor muttered, "Ah, that!" and couldn't respond. This wasn't just a natural disaster, and one so far away it was impossible to predict. It was like a solar storm; who could predict when the sun would sneeze? But since Hayashi Maki asked, it meant she had a different opinion, so Child Emperor didn't interrupt her with his self-evident inference.

"There are monsters on the moon, very powerful ones. I suspect that the disaster in J City this time is related to the monsters on the moon." Lin Zhenxi made his groundless guess.

But at least Lin Zhenxi didn't make it up completely. It is certain that there are monsters on the moon. The bald boss confirmed it himself, so it is definitely correct.

Furthermore, to receive the word "very strong" from Saitama, the monster on the moon must be Dragon-level, possibly even peak Dragon-level. Aside from the crude connection between J City's gravity depression and the monster on the moon, Hayashi Maki spoke her mind.

Lin Zhenxi's irresponsibility was like casually throwing a handful of fish food into the water to hook the fish and then leaving them alone. However, Child Emperor was one of those people who was born to overthink things, or perhaps it was a common problem for overly intelligent people. So, assuming that Lin Zhenxi was not lying, Child Emperor began to quickly consider the impact of this news.

There are strange people on the moon, abnormal gravitational tides, which happen to cover the gravitational depression of J City, followed by the tsunami caused by the gravitational tides. The Deep Sea King who wants to occupy J City in Xuancheng, these clues are almost directly connected in a string, pointing directly to an obvious conclusion.

No, we cannot make arbitrary inferences based on our own conjectures. All statements should be based on facts and evidence. The first thing we need to verify now should be what Lin Zhenxi said, that is, whether there really are monsters on the moon.

"Ms. Lin, the clues you provided are very valuable. I will pay attention to information in this regard. Well, see you later." After Child Emperor said this, the little robot turned back into a spherical shape, rolled to the bottom of the big coconut, and connected to the body of the big coconut through magnetic attraction.

Immediately afterwards, the nozzle below the big coconut began to spew out high-temperature flames, pushing the big coconut up into the sky, directly breaking through the clouds that had re-gathered above, and disappearing into the horizon.

Child Emperor's abrupt departure was a bit excessive, but it also suited Lin Zhenxi's needs. She didn't want to have too much interaction with this overly clever brat anyway. Communicating with such an overly intelligent person was a very tiring task, unless Lin Zhenxi had a firm grasp on their vitals, like Genos.

Well then... well, the matter in J City is almost done, it's time to go home. Lin Zhenxi took out his cell phone and dialed Saitama's number, ready to call this B-class hero who had just made a great contribution to leave together.

I hope the phones the Hero Association sends to the heroes have deep waterproofing.
