Witch Special

But before entering the House of Evolution, they were first blocked by an alloy gate that looked very thick.

The people in the House of Evolution had obviously seen Saitama and others who had broken through the virtual illusion and arrived at the gate. However, since the gate did not open by itself, even Iron Gorilla's entry and exit authorization was revoked, it meant that the House of Evolution did not welcome them.

But hoping to stop the two men and the gorilla outside with just a broken iron door was sheer wishful thinking. Saitama was no different from a piece of paper. Even the Iron Gorilla could tear the door completely from its frame with just a little effort. As for Hayashi Maki...

"Your methods are too violent and make too much noise. Let me do it." As he said that, Lin Zhenxi raised his hand and pointed his wand at the alloy gate several meters high in front of him, and recited a very short spell.

"Alahram."

As the light of the unlocking spell shone out, a series of mechanism sounds were heard from inside the gate. With the final "click", the alloy gate, which had been tightly closed, split from the middle to both sides and opened by itself.

Hayashi Maki turned the wand back into a bracelet and made a V-sign of victory to Saitama and Iron Gorilla.

“Easy to do.”

Before Saitama and the gorilla could say anything, a man's voice came from a hidden speaker above Lin Zhenxi's head: "I clearly locked the front door, how did you open it? Did you hack into my system? When?"

Lin Zhenxi looked around and finally found a speaker with a metal mesh hanging from it among a pile of strange metal textures. Seeing the speaker being used by the "Doctor" behind the scenes, Lin Zhenxi's eyes lit up.

It's not about the look in his eyes, but in the true sense, both eyes lit up with light blue light at the same time.

The previously invisible lines of cause and effect gradually took on distinct colors against the clear blue of Lin Zhenxi's eyes. With the sound at its center, several lines of cause and effect connected to the surroundings, but only one had the color of "human." Tracing the extension of this line of cause and effect would lead directly to the Doctor's current hiding place.

"Found you."

At this moment, "Doctor" Kinos, sitting in a soft, comfortable ergonomic chair, a cup of fragrant black coffee in hand, his eyes fixed on one of the many surveillance screens before him, suddenly felt his scalp tingle. He looked at the girl with long, black hair, looking up at the screen, and suddenly felt a sudden palpitation in his heart.

This was his perception, warning him frantically.

What had she said just now? What was she saying to her companions now? Kinos raised his hand and was surprised to find that it was trembling slightly.

How could it be possible... that he was actually afraid? His body, against his will, was conveying to him the sense of danger it felt in a way he couldn't even comprehend.

Kinos pressed his trembling hand to his glasses, forcing himself to calm down. He silently reflected on his efforts. Every effort he had made was the source of his current confidence. He had invested countless hours and sweat for everything he had today. It made no sense for him to fail because of something so inexplicable.

Yes, he is the strongest, and the "Ashura" he created is the strongest. There is nothing to be afraid of...

"We found you, Mr. Doctor from the House of Evolution~?" A female voice suddenly rang out from behind Kinos. Kinos felt as if his body had been poured into a concrete barrel, so stiff he couldn't even move a finger or blink. His body had become the strongest prison, imprisoning his soul, preventing him from moving at all.

How could this happen? What on earth happened!!!

Kinos's mind was running at overspeed, trying his best to think about the situation before him, which he could not understand at all and was undoubtedly extremely bad.

As a supremely gifted scientist who dared to single-handedly create a freak organization, Genos couldn't have failed to consider the dangers he faced. To ensure he could handle any emergency, he even prepared dozens of backup bodies. If this body died, his consciousness would be instantly uploaded to the cloud and then downloaded to the backup body.

This was originally a beautiful escape plan. Even each of his bodies had the ability to self-destruct. He only needed to think about it and he could transfer his consciousness to other spare bodies.

But why would something exist to imprison his consciousness? He had completely lost control of his body and was unable to do anything besides thinking. All his backup plans, all his plans, became the most ridiculous joke in the face of this terrifying imprisonment of his consciousness.

No matter how reluctant he was, he had to admit that this time, he was completely screwed.

But in reality, Lin Zhenxi didn't do anything. She simply cast a petrification spell on Kinos. As for why the spell was so effective that Kinos couldn't even blink, it was probably because Kinos's own magic resistance wasn't even at the average level of "0" in this world; it was completely negative. No matter what spell landed on him, it had a positive effect.

This is what we commonly call "outstanding results."

As for why this happened, it seemed to be related to the flaw in this person's soul. Magic, ultimately, was a form of illusion, using one's own reality to overlay the reality of others. If someone was flawless, both mentally and physically formidable, with no flaws to be found, then even the most formidable magic would be powerless against such a formidable force.

But such situations are ultimately rare, and the opposite is the norm. Someone with a physical or spiritual flaw is inherently much less resistant to spells than a normal person. While it might take a whole series of spells to defeat someone else, a single well-placed spell is all that's needed to completely control that person.

Unfortunately, although Kinos looks young and healthy, his broken soul has become his most obvious weakness.

It was such a simple way to subdue the mastermind behind the "House of Evolution" that was a pleasant surprise for Lin Zhenxi. This made Lin Zhenxi feel happy, and she was very considerate to answer the question that Kinos absolutely wanted to know the most.

Although his throat couldn't even make the simplest "mmm".

"Are you curious about how I found you? I was clearly on the surveillance camera at the gate just now. How come I was behind you in the blink of an eye?"

"It's very simple. Although you won't believe it, I really did find you by following the Internet cable."

"When you see me, I 'see' you. Once the causal connection is established, there will be no difference in spatial distance. As long as the connection is established, no matter where you hide, I can find you."

"I know you won't believe me, but it's okay. I can give you a chance to verify whether what I said is correct."

As he spoke, Lin Zhenxi swung the magic wand in his hand and directly lifted the effect of the petrification spell on Genos. Looking at the gloomy man with glasses and long hair covering half of his face, he suddenly straightened his back like a salted fish that was suddenly revived by water.

"Ha..." Kinos exhaled the anger that had been pent up in his chest, raised his head, glared fiercely at Lin Zhenxi's beautiful face, and said, "You said it, so don't regret it."

With that, Kinos activated the mechanism on his glasses without hesitation. Electrodes on the two temples instantly released a current powerful enough to paralyze an elephant, incinerating Kinos's brain in a fraction of a second. Simultaneously, upon detecting the unnatural disappearance of this body's brainwaves, the high-energy bomb embedded within it activated, entering the energy activation phase before detonation.

Three seconds later, Kinos's body turned into a terrible flesh bomb. With a "Boom", all the furnishings in the room were blown into charred fragments.

At the same time, Kinos's consciousness also completed the upload and reload process. His new body woke up from a dark and narrow space and opened his eyes.

With a gentle push, the lid of the chamber containing Kinos's backup body slid upward automatically with the help of hydraulic rods, and a new Kinos emerged from the chamber. "XII" was written in Roman letters on the outer shell of his chamber, seemingly indicating that this was Kinos's twelfth backup body. Zooming in, one could see dozens of similar chambers densely packed throughout the room, the furthest numbered over seventy. If each of those chambers represented a backup of Kinos, then he was arguably the most difficult person in the world to kill.

Even cats only have nine lives, but Kinos has prepared more than seventy lives for himself.

But under the locked-down causal connection, the mere transfer of consciousness still seemed too crude. Just as Kinos had just awakened from the incubator and was letting his consciousness familiarize himself with this new, younger body, he suddenly heard the sound of knuckles tapping on metal plates next to his opened incubator.

Kinos suddenly turned his head and looked at Lin Zhenxi, who was smiling at him, with a look as if he had seen a ghost.

"Hey, I told you I could find you through the internet. Did I lie to you?"
