Witch Special

Chapter 134: Fishing in troubled waters.

The wind on the rooftop was always strong. Even though Lin Zhenxi had her hair tied in a ponytail, the wind still blew all over her face. Lin Zhenxi was getting impatient with the wind and swung her wand, like a whip to lash out at a disobedient slave, breaking the wind in the surrounding area.

"The wind and waves suddenly stopped!"

The surrounding wind disappeared instantly. Although the wind outside was still strong, the entire spherical space with Lin Zhenxi as the center seemed to have a wind-calming bead placed on it. It was as calm as being indoors.

Although Hayashi Maki's magic always gives people a sense of magic, Saitama, looking at the city below that has been submerged in the ocean, has no intention of praising Hayashi Maki at all.

With so much water in the city, there must have been people who didn't have time to escape, and their current situation is undoubtedly grim. Even their survival is completely unknown. When the flood hits, few people can calmly find a safe haven. Most people panic and drift with the current, eventually being swept underwater and drowning.

Lin Zhenxi must know the specific situation, but Saitama doesn't want to ask, because he knows in his heart that this is the answer he absolutely doesn't want to hear.

This is no longer a problem that he can solve as a hero.

Heroes are good at dealing with weirdos, but post-disaster cleanup measures are not within the scope of a hero's job.

Even if he could kill the monster that caused this disaster in a few seconds and beat him into a small pancake, the flood in the city would not recede. Those who were swallowed by the water and lost their lives would never be able to open their eyes and see tomorrow's sun.

This is a heartbreaking moment, but it is also a tragic reality that people have to face. As long as weirdos still exist, the tragedy that happened in J incident today will surely be repeated in other similar ways in the future.

When monsters die, new ones will appear. As long as the malice of the planet persists, monsters will not cease. But when people die, they can never come back, leaving behind only longing and endless sorrow.

Anyway, Saitama was in a very bad mood right now. In all his years as a hero, this was the first time he had seen such serious damage caused by monsters.

And he seemed powerless to do anything about it.

"Xiaolin, you can do something, right?" Saitama looked at the city flooded by sea water below his feet, turned his back to Lin Maki, and said dully.

Lin Zhenxi cast a starlight mark directly above the Deep Sea King, and a pale white beam of light shot down from the sky and landed on the water. No matter how the Deep Sea King moved, the beam of light remained firmly locked on its head.

"The leader, the Deep Sea King, is right there. Uncle, go do what you should do."

"What about you?" Saitama turned around, stood on the edge of the building, with his back facing the ocean below, and asked Lin Maki.

"Of course I have my share of work to do."

"Xiaolin, I think you are very suitable to be a hero." Saitama said, then he leaned back and fell off the skyscraper with a leap of faith, then turned into a scarlet aerial bomb and plunged straight into the sea on the street below.

Having even been to space tens of thousands of kilometers high, this building several hundred meters high is probably just like a dirt platform to Saitama now.

That bastard called Deep Sea King is here to send soup, hahahaha.

Saitama's departure was inevitable, and Lin Zhenxi was not surprised at all. He had his mission and things to do, but Lin Zhenxi had not yet decided to what extent he would contribute to the current J City.

Why has she been hiding in this world for so long and so deeply?

Because she is an outlier, completely out of tune with the world's daily routine. Among a group of people playing with muscles, playing with equipment, and playing with super powers, suddenly a person wearing a wizard hat and holding a magic wand and staff suddenly appeared. This was not the treatment of being the center of the stage, but a flashlight was enough to hit her.

Maybe it's due to her personality, or it could be the subtle influence of her job, but in any case, Hayashi Maki always subconsciously avoids being the center of attention.

Rather than attracting the attention of those around her, Lin Zhenxi prefers to hide behind the scenes and achieve her goals indirectly through various means without causing too much noise, rather than personally taking action and making a big news to let others know how great she is.

That would not be beneficial to her at all, except exposing herself to the public eye, allowing others to analyze and interpret her, and making it easier for others to find her weaknesses.

After all, all of Lin Zhenxi's actions have always been directed towards only one goal, which is to complete the mission and return successfully.

Gaining attention and fame doesn't make this easier. Instead, it makes people think of her when they encounter problems, causing her to get into all kinds of trouble, seriously affecting her schedule and making it impossible for her to do what she wants to do. So, Lin Zhenxi really doesn't feel the need to be in the spotlight.

but……

"Hero?" Lin Zhenxi was thinking about what Saitama had just said. It seemed as if something in her chest was burning warmly, nurturing and hatching.

She had already accumulated enough resources in this world. With the magic tower, there should be no one in this world that could threaten her life. And if she wanted to hide, she wouldn't have to worry about being found. So, it seemed okay to show off a little, right?

However, just when Lin Zhenxi was about to do something, a blurry red shadow suddenly rushed out from the edge of the building, bringing up countless water droplets and drenching Lin Zhenxi.

Then the red shadow seemed to fly over the head, much higher than the rooftop of the skyscraper, and it seemed that it would have a hard time landing on the tarmac, but would fall directly from the other side.

Lin Zhenxi raised his head, looked at the figure that was getting farther and farther away from him, and the very conspicuous bald head, sighed secretly, waved his wand and cast a spell silently.

【Cape Flying】【Clean and Fresh】

The next second, Saitama's figure, already flying away, was grabbed by his cape by an invisible hand. With a dramatic "snapping" sound, he was flung back onto the skyscraper's tarmac. At the same time, the seawater droplets on Hayashi Maki's body, especially on her hair, vanished without a trace.

Seawater contains a lot of salt and microorganisms. Hair that comes into contact with seawater will become dry and rough, sticking together and difficult to straighten, and it will also emit an unpleasant smell. Therefore, if seawater comes into contact with your body, it is best to take a shower if possible. Even if you don't have the conditions, you should wipe off the seawater with a wet towel.

Of course, it would be most convenient if you could use the cleansing spell to restore yourself to a clean state like Lin Zhenxi, but obviously few people have such ability.

Because Hayashi Maki's spell was released with emotion, and the target of the flying spell was the cloak behind Saitama, Saitama landed on the tarmac in a very awkward position. However, this guy was thick-skinned and could easily crush granite with his tailbone, so after a solid fall, he jumped up and patted his butt, saying that he was fine.

"Uncle, didn't you go down? Why are you up again?" Lin Zhenxi saw that Saitama was covered in sea water and mud. Except for his head which was still shiny, his whole body was dirty. So she kindly cast a cleansing spell on Saitama.

How could it still be muddy? Could it be that after it hit the water, the water wasn't deep enough, so it hit the ground again?

You know what, it's quite possible. After all, the way he dived just now seemed to be diving straight down...

A flash of magic passed through Saitama's body, and his state was restored to the clean appearance that Lin Zhenxi remembered just now.

"Wow, magic is really convenient." Saitama looked down at his current appearance and said in surprise.

Lin Zhenxi did not respond, but just looked at Saitama, waiting for Saitama to answer his previous question.

Saitama rubbed his face with his boxing gloves and said, "The water down there is too muddy. I won't be able to see anything after I jump in."

I think it was because you jumped in that the water became muddy.

But Lin Zhenxi thought about it and realized that Saitama's words were not without reason. Even though Deep Sea King had defeated two S-class heroes head-on, who could guarantee that Deep Sea King could fight everyone with dignity? Seeing that he was defeated, if this guy burrowed into the ground below and muddied the water like a loach, no one would be able to catch him in that underwater environment.

We need to find a way to minimize the impact of the water flow... Got it!

Lin Zhenxi thought of a magic that could separate water from the human body. Although the original design purpose of that magic was to allow people to have enough air to breathe underwater, so it only protected the human head, but with a slight modification, it was possible to separate water and people and artificially create a large bubble without water getting in the way.

This magic is called "Bubble Head Spell". As the name suggests, it is a magic that puts a bubble on the head.

Lin Zhenxi found it hard to imagine what the original purpose of the ancient wizard who invented this spell was, and she didn't intend to delve into the truth of this issue, because she always felt that the purpose of creating this magic might not be simple.

After all, there are always people who like to stick their heads into all kinds of bad cracks and holes, just like there are always people who have to go to the hospital to have a foreign object removed from their anus because they "accidentally sat on it."

Well, let me repeat myself, the purpose is probably not simple.

But judging by the current situation, this magic is very suitable for solving the problem Saitama is facing. Isn't it because the vision is blocked by water? Then why not just drain the water away?
