Witch Special

Three days passed in a flash. During this time, the TV was broadcasting endless news, popular science, lectures, and discussions related to the moon landing. It seemed as if celebrities and hosts had transformed overnight into experts who had in-depth knowledge of the moon and the satellite above their heads. They commented on the significance, difficulties, gains and losses of this operation in detail, as if this moon landing was planned by them.

It's really hard for them, sitting in front of the camera for hours and hours and chatting awkwardly, memorizing the script must be tiring, right?

And the people watching the show seemed to have their passion for aerospace ignited, and they were never tired of watching those TV programs that were mostly repetitive and just talked about different people. They even commented on the moon landing themselves, talking about it at length, as if they were not consumables on the assembly line that could be replaced at any time, but experts and scholars with the world at heart.

Lin Zhenxi saw all of this and had nothing to say except admiration.

If these people knew that this moon landing mission had no meaning at all and was just the United Government's attempt to occupy the temple on the moon first, I wonder what they would think.

When the time came to the third day, the manned capsule carrying six people was captured by the gravity of the moon and began to fly around the moon in circles, getting closer and closer to the lunar surface in the process.

Throughout this process, Lin Zhenxi was constantly monitoring the manned cabin through the water mirror in the meditation basin. Although the image in the water mirror became smaller and more blurred as the distance increased, at most the parts of the manned cabin became increasingly blurred, but at least the general outline could still be grasped.

Child Emperor didn't seem to have installed a real-time image transmission function on the manned module, so now no one on the planet can know what is happening on the moon. They can only wait until the manned module returns to retrieve the data they want from the astronauts.

In other words, now on this planet, only Lin Zhenxi can see what is happening on the moon. When Lin Zhenxi thinks that he is the only one who can watch the live broadcast, he feels a little happy.

You know, it was her that the United Government wanted to hide. They had clearly agreed to share intelligence, but for the sake of the temple on the moon, they concealed the news that they might have found the will of the world from Lin Zhenxi. However, now Lin Zhenxi has become the person who has the latest and most complete information. This has to be said to be quite ironic.

Lin Zhenxi felt that if he were to go to the United Government right now with a meditation bowl and tell them that he could provide real-time footage of the moon landing, the expressions on their faces would be extremely interesting.

Forget it, it's better not to do such disgusting things. Their cooperative relationship is already very fragile, and it would be unprofitable if they turned against each other after such a strong provocation.

What a shame, there's no way to disgust those people who say one thing to your face and another behind your back. With a faint sense of regret, Lin Zhenxi watched the manned capsule in the Pensieve slowly descend to the lunar surface on a recoil rocket. After the capsule came to a steady stop, a moment later, the hatch opened, and a group of people in white spacesuits climbed out one by one.

Because the resolution is so low, Hayashi Maki can only distinguish them by their height. For example, the shortest one is definitely Child Emperor, the second shortest one, whose feet are floating in mid-air without even touching the ground, is Tornado, and the largest one is Superalloy Black Steel. As for Saitama, Zombie Man, and the guy in the suit and glasses, they're all about the same height, and once they're wearing space suits, it's hard to tell who's who.

After they disembarked from the manned capsule, they began moving purposefully in one direction. Lin Zhenxi's previous prophetic magic had tracked the manned capsule, and the perspective wouldn't change after it landed. Seeing these pioneers of this world about to leave the Pensieve's water mirror's field of view, Lin Zhenxi quickly switched the water mirror's focus, switching the center point to the tornado.

In fact, Hayashi Maki also wanted to cut into Saitama, but the most important point of prophecy magic is to have a clear target in mind. The three astronauts of the same height, Hayashi Maki, really couldn't tell which one was Saitama. This kind of prophecy magic that can't even determine the specific target is doomed to fail.

Therefore, Lin Zhenxi could only target the three people whose identities could be confirmed. In fact, there was no other choice. Lin Zhenxi had cast magic on the unconscious Tornado twice before. Compared with Child Emperor and Superalloy Black Steel, Tornado, who was stained with Lin Zhenxi's magical aura, was obviously a more suitable target for Lin Zhenxi to cast prophetic magic.

But then again, it seems like Lin Zhenxi only encountered Tornado twice in total? This legal loli always seems to end up in a coma. Is this also a kind of fate?

Well, it's probably just a coincidence. After all, it's only been two times, so the sample size is insufficient and there's no way to draw a conclusion. If it happens a few more times...

The landing point chosen by the manned capsule is obviously not too far away from their real destination, but there is no atmosphere on the moon and the gravity is lighter, so it is impossible to walk on the moon using the normal walking method on the surface of the planet.

Tornado flew, and Child Emperor extended a few mechanical legs from his backpack to assist in walking, which was quite convenient. As for the other few people, it was more difficult. After finding that they could not walk, they all started to take big strides, just like triple jumpers. Every step would make them float forward a long distance, but the overly slow falling speed was really torturous, making their movements look very funny.

In reality, it would have been best for Tornado to simply take the others along. He could even tow a spaceship this large and heavy, so grabbing a few people and flying with them would be a piece of cake. However, Tornado's assertive and awkward personality made it clear he wouldn't be willing to serve others, so the men could only hop along.

Fortunately, their destination wasn't far away, and before long, they reached the edge of a circular pit. Standing in the pit and looking down, they saw an ancient Parthenon-style temple nestled at the bottom, though only the spire was above ground. As for how high or deep it was below, it was unknown.

This temple was created by Saitama's kick at that time. If it weren't for Saitama's kick, the temple, including its roof, would have been buried under thick moon dust and would not be visible at all.

Looking at the temple below, at least half buried in the moondust, Tornado floated to a higher altitude and began to unleash his supernatural powers. Under the violent lifting of telekinesis, the surrounding moondust began to boil, and then, with the moondust flying all over the sky, the entire temple was forcibly pulled out.

No matter how many times I've seen it, Tornado's telekinesis is so cool. It's a shame Hayashi Maki doesn't have the gift of a psychic; her mental power is just mental power, without any of those fancy additional attributes. While she can project her mental power externally, it only creates a heavy, oppressive atmosphere; in reality, it can't even break a pair of chopsticks.

Of course, Lin Zhenxi has magic that can do this, and even more, so there is no need to deliberately pursue telekinesis.

After pulling the entire temple out of the lunar dust, the astronauts continued to move forward, went down the crater, and approached the temple.

But before they could get close to the temple, a large number of strange insects with moon rocks growing on their backs crawled out from under the ground of the crater.

These insects are about two meters long and look very similar to the Hercules beetle. They have a long and a short horn growing on the front of their heads. The tips are very sharp, and it seems that the two horns can bite together to cut off the prey.

After the giant insects crawled out from under the moondust, they immediately attacked the team of six.

The heroes' counterattack was quickly launched, but the bulky space suits and the extremely low gravity of the moon seriously affected the physical heroes' ability to perform, so Tornado and Child Emperor soon became the protagonists of the battlefield, clearing the giant beetles around them with extremely high efficiency, while the physical heroes with limited mobility simply stood there and watched the show.

Needless to say, Tornado's fighting style was her unassuming yet incredibly effective telekinesis. Child Emperor, on the other hand, transformed into Doctor Octopus, his mechanical arms wielding childish yet powerful beam guns. Each shot could easily shatter the giant beetle's hard shell, blasting it apart from the inside.

With the joint efforts of the two heroes, the large number of giant beetles that were originally scattered inside the crater were quickly cleared out, and not a single one was left alive.

Oddly enough, these giant beetles have no tissue fluid in their bodies, but instead decompose like fine sand. After being broken into pieces, they quickly transform into a substance similar to lunar soil, looking like rubble all over the ground, but not polluting the environment.

After clearing out all the giant beetles, the astronauts headed back towards the temple. Those giant beetles seemed to be the guardians of the temple. After clearing them out, the astronauts encountered no more obstacles and walked directly into the temple.

Then the signal from Lin Zhenxi was interrupted.

Lin Zhenxi:?

What the hell is that? It can actually block the observation of prophecy magic. Is there some mysterious protection in that place?

This is a world without mysteries. Logically, there shouldn't be any places that are invisible to prophetic magic.

However, Lin Zhenxi soon realized that there was another factor that could render prophecy magic ineffective: a difference in status. If there was a significant difference in status between the target and the caster, regardless of mystical protection, prophecy magic would prevent the lower-status person from spying on the higher-status being.

This is actually a kind of protection that prophetic magic provides to the caster. As the saying goes, when you stare into the abyss, the abyss also stares back at you. If prophetic magic did not have this limitation, when some indescribable great existence suddenly appeared in the picture, people would probably go crazy.

This was probably the case now. The world's will was probably within that temple. It was the embodiment of a planet's will, far surpassing Lin Zhenxi's own status. It seemed only natural that Lin Zhenxi's prophetic magic would fail.
