Witch Special

Chapter 175: Fragile alliances are often destroyed by greater interests

On this day, the magic sentry left by Lin Zhenxi in the magic camp sent a signal, pulling her out of her training state.

"Hmm?" Lin Zhenxi threw the spiritual power orb in his hand, which was the same temperature as his body temperature, back into the space cube, and stood up to check who had come directly to his magic formation to find him.

Every time the spiritual power orb is put in and taken out, a large amount of energy is consumed. However, Lin Zhenxi directly asked the Hanging City to help him pay for this part of the expenditure. Anyway, the total amount is less than a drop of magic essence. With the current reserves of the Hanging City, it can already afford this small splurge.

Although Hayashi Maki now resides permanently in the Floating Castle, she hasn't removed the magic formation across from Saitama's house, even though it's no longer needed since Saitama's move. The main magic formation is not only difficult to set up, but also quite troublesome to dismantle, requiring a step-by-step approach. Forcible removal could easily trigger a chain reaction, activating the magic formation's self-protection mechanisms.

That's where Lin Zhenxi lives. She's not doing secret operations, and she wouldn't install a backdoor that can be destroyed with one click in the place where she lives. So even if she comes to dismantle her own magic formation, it will take some effort.

That's not true. It's not that there's no way to destroy it with one click. The magic circle's protection is limited to the area surrounding it, not the entire building. So if the entire building were blown up, Lin Zhenxi's magic circle would also be destroyed, rendering any protective mechanisms useless. But surely no one would go to such lengths as demolishing a building just for a magic circle?

You're right, Director Kenneth.

Anyway, because it was troublesome to dismantle, Lin Zhenxi simply left it there. Unexpectedly, someone is now looking for her magic formation. Who could it be?

However, when Lin Zhenxi took out the magic circle and drew the magic round mirror, he found that the person appearing in the picture was Saitama, and he was wearing his hero suit, so it was obvious that he was not visiting.

Why didn't Saitama call if he had something to do? Why was he knocking on the door? Lin Zhenxi was a little confused, but she still got dressed, gathered her hair into a ponytail, and used Apparition to rush over.

After arriving at the magic camp, Lin Zhenxi walked onto the terrace, holding the railing and looking down.

"Uncle, how come you have time to come here?"

Saitama looked up at Hayashi Maki, waved, and said, "Ah, Kobayashi, long time no see."

"It's been a while, really." Lin Zhenxi Apparated again, appearing right in front of Saitama with a "pop." "But it's precisely because we haven't seen each other for so long that it's telling. Uncle, you should be super busy right now, so how did you find the time to come see me? And why didn't you call? What happened?"

Saitama's originally relaxed expression turned serious. He nodded and said, "Indeed, there are some things the association doesn't want to tell you, but I think you should know. However, my phone has been monitored, so I can't get through to you, so I had to come here in person."

"Haha, is that so..." Lin Zhenxi sighed. Although she was not surprised, she couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

"It doesn't matter. People are like that. They won't turn back until they hit a wall. They won't accept other people's opinions until they suffer a little loss. So, what did the Hero Association find out? And they dared to monitor the uncle's phone? How dare they do that?"

Lin Zhenxi's second question was clearly beyond Saitama's ability to answer, and his brows furrowed into a frown. He mumbled "Hmm..." for a long time before deciding to answer the first question first.

"I think the Hero Association may have found the world will you mentioned, Xiaolin."

"What! Where?" Lin Zhenxi raised his voice in surprise.

I didn't expect the natives to be so efficient. The thing that I had been looking for for a year was found by this group of people in less than a month. It really shows that there is strength in numbers.

"On the moon. And, I think I know where it is." Saitama said, pointing his hand above his head.

Lin Zhenxi looked up. Although it was daytime, due to the different rotation periods of the planets, he could still see the white moon in the sky.

Hiss, this world is determined not to stay on its own planet but to run to the nearby satellite. There is something wrong with it, right?

No wonder Lin Zhenxi couldn't find it after searching the entire planet. She thought that the will of the world had hidden directly in the core of the earth, but it turned out that it had run to the moon.

"Wait, uncle, how do you know where the World Will is? Did you eavesdrop?" Lin Zhenxi suddenly turned around and asked curiously. Given Saitama's personality, he shouldn't be able to do such a thing as eavesdropping, right?

Not necessarily. Saitama is quite funny when he is not fighting. It seems not impossible that he would hide in the corner and eavesdrop when he encounters something interesting.

"Ah, this, because I've been to the moon." Saitama scratched his face with his hand and said something seriously that shocked Lin Maki.

"...What?" Lin Zhenxi suspected that there was something wrong with his ears.

"The last time I fought Boros, he knocked me onto the moon. I was really lucky at that time. If I hadn't been caught by the moon, I don't know where I would have flown to." Saitama said with a silly smile on his face.

Lin Zhenxi was speechless. "That's not called catching, it's called capturing, right?" When a small object approaches a large object, it will be attracted by the large object. Those celestial bodies rely on this gravitational force to maintain their balance in motion.

Saitama's ability to survive in outer space had already been proven when he intercepted the meteorite, so there was no need for Lin Zhenxi to ask how Saitama could breathe on the moon. He only needed to breathe because he felt that he needed to. If he really reached a place where it was impossible to breathe, not breathing would actually be no problem at all.

What really surprised Lin Zhenxi was that Boros could knock Saitama directly from the surface of this planet to the moon. What a tremendous force that must have taken. A spaceship would have taken several months to fly, but Boros sent him there with a single kick. The strength of a top-level indigenous warrior was truly remarkable.

Lin Zhenxi also remembered that during the battle on the upper deck of the spaceship, Saitama had indeed disappeared for a while. She had thought that Saitama had been vaporized by Boros's blow. Then Saitama descended from the sky and stomped on the spaceship's flight posture. It was that heavy kick that shattered the spaceship's power ball in two, giving Lin Zhenxi the opportunity to remove the silver-white rectangle from the power ball.

That was probably when he came back from the moon, right?

"And then, on the moon, you encountered the World Will?"

"I don't know if that is the will of the world, but the feeling it gives me is obviously different from that of other monsters, more..." Saitama got stuck here. He was racking his brains to think of adjectives, but he couldn't find any words that could accurately describe the feeling at that time.

"Mature, ancient, empty, quiet, and majestic." Lin Zhenxi gave a few hints.

"Yes, these are the feelings." Saitama's eyes lit up and he clapped his hands.

Up to now, Lin Zhenxi has seen six world wills and can be considered experienced in this regard.

There is no other way. If the special envoy wants to leave a different world, he must contact the "company" through the will of the world. This is the last step of the commissioned mission.

When a special envoy is sent to a different world by the "company", he or she first needs to connect with the local world will, and he or she needs to connect again when leaving. The process is similar to that of a dispatched worker - the first time is that the dispatching unit transfers the employee file to the dispatched unit, and the second time is that the dispatched unit returns the employee evaluation form to the dispatching unit.

"That's it. Are there any other feelings?" Lin Zhenxi has not forgotten that when Saitama went to space for the first time, he came back and told Lin Zhenxi that there was a hostile force from the moon locking onto him.

Since it has been confirmed that the world will is on the moon, and the world will is full of malice towards the humans in this world, it is easy to infer that the "monster on the moon" who showed hostility towards Saitama was actually the world will.

"Also, it probably wants to kill me." Saitama said this, feeling somewhat puzzled and depressed. He didn't know what he had done to cause such a strong dissatisfaction with the world's will. If you have any opinions, just raise them. If you don't say anything, who knows what you want? If you are so silent, who knows what you want to do!

"Sure enough..." Lin Zhenxi felt that his thinking was gradually becoming broader. If that was the case, then everything made sense.

"So what did the Hero Association find? They even dared to intercept the uncle's cell phone calls. It must be something extraordinary."

"Oh, this, it looks like a temple." Saitama raised his finger and explained, "I was knocked to the moon before. When I jumped back on the moon, it seemed to cause a large-scale earthquake on the moon, and then a temple appeared on the surface of the moon. The association seems to know what it is and is preparing to investigate the temple in full swing. They also blocked the news from telling you, and even I only learned about it occasionally."

Obviously, the Hero Association knew that if they told Saitama, he would definitely tell Hayashi Maki. Saitama became a hero because of his sense of justice. Even before becoming a registered hero, he had been an unknown hero for several years. The Hero Association's requirements might have some binding force on others, but for Saitama? In his heart, Hayashi Maki was obviously much more important than those bullshit rules.

As for how Saitama, who was under information blockade, knew this information, such long and detailed information could definitely not be obtained by eavesdropping. It probably came from the friendly assistance of other heroes who were not completely controlled by the Hero Association but were not convenient to show up.

"So now the Hero Association is going to explore the temple on the moon, they're not ready yet, right?"

"Yes, that's it."
