Witch Special

Chapter 254 Theorem Poem: Monitoring Failure

With the evil demon's eyeball as a medium to trace cause and effect, Lin Zhenxi directly "saw" all the traces left by the evil demon in Haizhu City.

You really don't know until you see it; it's astonishing. The lines representing cause and effect stretched like a spiderweb, densely covering the entire city below. Lin Zhenxi could hardly find a place the evil demon hadn't visited. No wonder Qin Ningjing was blocked at her doorstep. The evil demon had already explored the entire map of Haizhu City, so of course he would find her.

"Amor, how does your fairy perception barrier work? Is it still functioning normally?"

"Well... there are many energy butterflies living in the Fairy Paradise that are very sensitive to the presence of evil spirits. If an evil spirit appears nearby, they will die in large numbers. We seal those butterflies in a barrier. If the butterflies die somewhere, the barrier will collapse, and we will know that an evil spirit has appeared in that area."

As he spoke, Amor sensed the barriers he had set up and replied with certainty, "The barriers are all working normally. Why are you asking this, sister?"

"Because I saw traces of evil spirits all over Haizhu City. So I'm a little curious whether your early warning barriers have the effect they should have." Lin Zhenxi answered while carefully sorting out the source of the cause and effect left by those evil spirits.

In fact, there is no need to look too hard, because all the causal lines are connected to the thin river that runs through Haizhu City. When Lin Zhenxi observed the thin river, the causal lines there were so dense that it was impossible to tell which one was which. It looked like a long silk woven with causal lines.

When Lin Zhenxi traced the source of Xijiang River upstream, he could see some causal lines spreading all the way down from the upstream and merging into the dense causal lines of Xijiang River in Haizhu City.

Those evil spirits came from Haimen City upstream. The fourth stage of the group entrenched in Haimen City was indeed eyeing Haizhu City as well.

Amor didn't believe what Lin Zhenxi said. After all, using butterflies to monitor demons was a common practice in the Fairy Paradise. All fairies used it, so how could it be ineffective on her? But Lin Zhenxi couldn't have said that for no reason, so she still verified it.

In fact, it is very simple. Just actively remove one of the warning barriers and see if she still has control over the warning barrier.

Then she discovered that the warning barrier that should have responded to her instructions did not respond at all.

"How could it be!" Amor was shocked.

Lin Zhenxi shrugged, indicating that this was all basic operation. The relationship between the logic of order and the chaos of disorder was completely hostile, which simply meant that war was brewing. Since it was a war, the first step was to eliminate the enemy's reconnaissance points and render them blind. Isn't this the most basic operation?

The person who knows you best is often not you, but your enemy. Chaos and Logic of Order have been fighting for so long, how could they not know the methods Logic of Order uses to deploy its power in the city? Perhaps there were no effective countermeasures before, but clearly, they now have them.

In wartime, a single trick is rarely enough. While you have a plan, I have a ladder. War is the best fertilizer for the technology tree, and technological advancements are evolving faster than ever before. Clinging to outdated technology without updating it will only lead to it becoming a fatal flaw, exploited by the enemy.

"What's the big deal? Your perception barrier has been broken. Go back and have your people research new ones. Otherwise, if all the demons in the world master the method to break it, you will all become blind."

"Yes, I'll do it right away..." Amor was also anxious. All the fairies were using energy butterflies to sense the breath of evil spirits. If this method didn't work, the consequences would be too serious. The defense line built by the logic of order in the human world would be in danger of a complete collapse.

However, Lin Zhenxi stopped her and didn't let her return to Fairy Paradise to report immediately. "I know you're anxious, but don't worry. Your sensory system has been broken for so long anyway, so a little longer won't hurt. First, take a look at what's going on here. It would be best if you could record it with something so that you have evidence when you return."

Amor thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case. The early warning barrier had been very useful for many years, and the entire Fairy Paradise had great trust in it. If he went back and told the fairies, "Our early warning barrier has failed!", he would probably be thrown out by the other fairies as if he were crazy.

Even if this is the truth, she has to provide conclusive evidence.

Seeing that Amor wasn't leaving, Lin Zhenxi was quite pleased. Although this fat pigeon was timid and lacked a strong opinion, her barrier magic was still quite useful. At least when it came to shielding the battlefield, Lin Zhenxi had no better method than Amor's mirror barrier.

It's true that Lin Zhenxi has already reported her use of supernatural powers to the "company," but this only allows her to use her powers legally and reasonably without worrying about being punished. As for how much reward she will ultimately receive, it depends on Lin Zhenxi's performance in the operation.

If Lin Zhenxi did something too exaggerated, forcing the "company" to carry out a large-scale information blockade, then she might get nothing when the rewards were settled afterwards.

Although the "company" will not punish her for this incident, it can choose not to reward her at all.

But if Lin Zhenxi had resolved this matter quietly and without causing too much trouble for the "company," she would definitely have received a substantial reward. After all, this was a feat of saving a city in the main world, and it was completely different from the main world commissions she had received before, such as crafting mysterious items.

At this time, Amor's value is reflected. Once the mirror barrier is opened, no matter how big the firecrackers Lin Zhenxi sets off inside, it will not disturb the citizens outside. How great is that.

Lin Zhenxi was so annoyed that she also wanted to make a fairy like this and carry it with her.

Of course, the more reliable option would be for Lin Zhenxi to learn it herself, or to force Black Cat to learn it, refusing to let her eat until she learns it. After all, fairies all have factions. Although Fairyland and the "company" should have a friendly cooperative relationship, factions are the most unreliable thing. Who knows when they will be stabbed in the back.

Lin Zhenxi doesn't want to see any righteous backstabbing.

As Lin Zhenxi traveled through the heavens, she trusted herself the most, and the power she controlled was the most reliable. As for Black Cat, it was her familiar, and also a part of her power. There was not much difference between what Black Cat controlled and what she controlled.

However, it is not realistic to learn the mirror barrier for the time being, so Lin Zhenxi can only use Amor as a tool.

Oh no, it's a tool pigeon.

The causal lines in the Xijiang River were vast and complex, forcing Lin Zhenxi to squint, reducing the effectiveness of her magic eye to make those with older and weaker connections less visible. The number of causal lines before her eyes finally dwindled considerably, and she successfully locked onto a sandbar in the center of the Xijiang River.

The causal lines were tangled like a ball of yarn on the sandbar, and were connected to almost all the causal lines. This was consistent with the pattern of the demon's lair, because the demon's lair that Lin Zhenxi found in the "K District" of New Blue City was exactly like this.

However, the demon's lair in "Area K" is far inferior to the one in Haizhu City in terms of the scale of the convergence of causal lines.

"Found it, let's go!" Lin Zhenxi said to Qin Ningjing, then lowered the head of the magic broom and flew towards the sandbar in the middle of the river below. Qin Ningjing also folded his wings and glided and dived to keep up with Lin Zhenxi's speed.

After descending, Lin Zhenxi discovered a spectacular bridge spanning the sandbar. The bridge, a viaduct, spanned the sandbar, while the sandbar below was divided into neatly arranged squares by several waterways, each covered in a delightful display of ornamental aquatic plants.

If you come here for boating during the day, it should be a relaxing and pleasant experience.

Who would have thought that such a beautiful place is actually the base camp of the evil demons entrenched in Haizhu City?

Cars were coming and going on the bridge above her head, and Qin Ningjing's shiny body was too conspicuous in the night, so she had to hide herself behind the aquatic bushes.

She also noticed the tranquility of the place. Neither she nor Amor could sense any trace of evil spirits. This made Qin Ningjing wonder if Lin Zhenxi had made a mistake.

But Lin Zhenxi would never doubt his own magic eyes. To deceive the chain of cause and effect is harder than climbing to the sky. If the evil demons still have this ability, they don’t need to hide and sabotage secretly. They can directly break the chain of cause and effect, and the world will be destroyed immediately.

So Lin Zhenxi directly ordered Amor: "Amor, the mirror barrier covers the entire sandbar, and the center is about fifty meters below us. Is there a problem?"

"Yes! But my dear sister, I don't feel any evil breath. Is there really an evil demon here?" Amor responded subconsciously, but it was only verbal and he did not take direct action.

Lin Zhenxi stuffed the string of demonic eyeballs back into the spatial cube. This was a valuable item. Any demon of the same species would have a direct causal connection with it. Even if they were of different species, they would still be linked to each other because they were both demons. It was a truly powerful weapon for finding demons, so he had to keep it safe.

After using a spell to summon clean water to wash the palm that had just held the evil demon's eyeball, Lin Zhenxi knocked Amor on the head with his wand and said, "Let it go when I tell you to. You will know whether there is an evil demon or not in a moment. Be obedient."

"Okay." Amor had no choice but to spread his wings and fly into the sky.

The next moment, a spherical translucent cover unfolded from the sky, covering the area below at an extremely fast speed.

The surroundings became quiet in an instant.
