I admired heroes but became a villain

Chapter 114: The Witch Hidden in History

Healing magic... This is a very common magic among magical girls, but a very rare magic among witches. After all, witches' magic comes from wishes, and there are very few witches who make 'altruistic' wishes, and even fewer witches who would exchange their own lives for the 'healing' of others. On the contrary, magical girls with healing magic are very abundant.

"So I was worried at first about what to do if I couldn't find a witch who could heal me. Now it seems that I was worrying too much."

Looking at Guo Linglong, who was originally seriously injured but is now safe and sound, Eva exclaimed: "This kind of recovery ability is impossible if you don't have a huge amount of magic power... Didn't you use all 100 billion magic power to attack Boros?"

Although she had recovered enough to walk freely, Guo Linglong still clung to Xia's thigh and gestured with her right fingers.

"I am the middleman who fights Boros on behalf of humans, and I only make a little profit from the price difference. It's not much, just 100 million mana."

Eva rolled her eyes and said helplessly, "I have never seen a savior as shameful as you. You just protected a fantasy world from the clutches of aliens."

Guo Linglong curled her lips without commenting: "I'm just a middleman. The original savior was Saitama. But the one who held Saitama back and forced me to roll up my sleeves and fight the universe overlord alone... should be the Wudan Witch, right?"

"In the original story, there has never been an enemy that could fight Saitama back and forth and make Saitama say he can't help him, so it may be someone from our side or the magical girl's side who took action."

While combing the man's hair, Xia said thoughtfully: "But considering Saitama's strength, as far as I know, there should be no magical girl who can hold him back or even hurt him, but if it is a witch..."

"Wudan!"

Eva said firmly, "It can only be her. That guy's magic, 'Priest of History', can gather faith by building wonders and use the power of faith to protect herself. As long as the faith continues, she will not be harmed. Originally, this magic is not that strong. After all, building wonders that can gather faith is a very demanding prerequisite. Gathering faith requires a lot of time and a large number of believers. But with the background of that guy living for more than 2,000 years... Can you imagine how much faith the Wudan Witch has collected?"

"More than two thousand years ago? Could it be that..."

Guo Linglong asked in horror: "Does she have a share in the Great Wall?"

"She can be seen in not only the Great Wall, the Terracotta Warriors, the Leshan Giant Buddha, the Potala Palace, the Forbidden City, the Eiffel Tower, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, but also many other wonders around the world."

Eva said with high morale: "This is the true face of the witch hidden behind human history. She is also the opponent I am destined to defeat in my lifetime - although so far, I have not even hurt her a hair."

"But why did she appear in that fantasy world, and why did she hold Saitama back and disrupt the master's plan?"

Kasumi asked doubtfully, "Does she want to distort the basic rules of that world—the invincible Saitama? Even if she can tie with Saitama, it would be an incredible distortion."

"Is that really all?"

Guo Linglong lowered his head without comment... It is true that the witch's job is to distort the world. Defeating or even tying with Saitama can gain unimaginable distortion value. But thinking of the maid's previous "ultimate power" versus "ultimate wisdom", he couldn't help but think too much.

At this moment, in the center of the Colosseum, the maid's hoarse voice, which was as usual, unable to tell whether it was a man or a woman, rang out.

"It looks like everyone is almost here, so let's announce the results..."

As soon as he finished speaking, something strange happened. The uniforms of Guo Linglong and Xia changed again. Xia, who was originally a witch in black, quickly had her clothes dyed white, and she became a white dress that was more advanced than the witch in black. And Guo Linglong, who was originally wearing white clothes, had the gold edges that were used as decorations on her clothes spread rapidly, turning her white windbreaker into a windbreaker woven with white and gold.

For a while, in the Night of Valgips, there were shouts of surprise, sighs of frustration, and grinding of teeth in unwillingness. Some witches who were originally in white fell back to black because they were replaced by the new witches in black. Some witches in black worked hard and put on white. Some witches in white performed better and got new clothes and a status above the witches in black and white.

"Five hundred and seventy-two witches in black, one hundred and eight witches in white, and thirty-six witches in platinum..."

The maid looked around with satisfaction, then said in a deep voice: "The third round of promotion will begin next week. If you have no questions now, go down and rest. If you still have questions... find a way to solve them yourself."

The maid, who was as unmotivated as ever, left the doubtful witches behind and closed her eyes to rest. The thirty-six platinum witches were surrounded by all kinds of gazes, some envious, some yearning, and some disdainful that I could replace them...

"Big sister, your clothes?"

Looking at Eva, who was still dressed in white, Guo Linglong frowned and said, "You and Xia have obviously contributed a lot to my achievements. How about I go and discuss this with the maid?"

"No, I'm not interested in status or anything like that."

Eva waved her hand and said casually: "Besides, since the black-clothed can advance and the white-clothed will regress, then I still have a chance. Compared to this little brother, look over there, that is Wu Dan's witch."

Guo Linglong was stunned for a moment, then quickly jumped up from Xia's thigh, and following Eva's guidance, looked at the witch in the upper right corner who seemed to be surrounded by stars.

She was a woman with long hair that seemed to be thousands of feet long, and she was graceful and noble. She did not wear the witches' uniform, but a phoenix crown and a bridal robe. Her bright red wedding dress seemed intoxicating, and even women could not take their eyes off her.

Guo Linglong opened his eyes wide, wanting to see clearly what the legendary witch looked like, but unfortunately the witch's face was blocked by the pearl curtain hanging from the phoenix crown. However, he could feel that the witch was also looking at him, and he could also see that under the pearl curtain, the witch Wudan's lips were slightly opening and closing.

Although no sound was made, Guo Linglong clearly understood what the witch meant.

"See you in the next promotion round?"

Guo Linglong frowned, her eyes a little confused. She seemed, it seemed, maybe, it couldn't be... that she was favored by this beauty who walked out of ancient times?

Chapter 115 Coincidences among Coincidences

"The Central Island of Finni..."

On a plane that had already taken off, Guo Linglong was muttering this unfamiliar place name and looking at Xia beside her in confusion.

"What is this place? Why haven't I heard of it before?"

"The Central Island of Finina is located in Antarctica. It is an island that emerged from the melting of glaciers three hundred years ago. It was chosen by my ancestor, a witch, as a hiding place."

Xia said with a somewhat unpleasant expression: "My company, Tiance Technology, is also conducting some research there that is not easy for the outside world to know about. But it seems that because I have been 'missing' for a long time recently, some people have started to get restless. But if you are busy, you don't have to bother with my little matter."

"I really have a problem with having to catch a plane to Antarctica right after returning to reality from the night in Walgips without even having time to rest."

Glancing at Xia, whose face showed a bit of panic, Guo Linglong shook her head and said, "But since you are in trouble, I can't refuse. After all, you have helped me a lot. In the world of One Punch Man, if it weren't for your help, I might... um, maybe I could handle it by myself?"

Xia smiled helplessly, but secretly became angry in her heart.

Some of her subordinates actually dared to have evil intentions and made her lose face in front of the master. She couldn't get rid of the resentment in her heart unless she cut them into several pieces and used them to soak Malflin!

"But I'm surprised you would squeeze into this civilian plane."

Guo Linglong looked at the ordinary people around her and said thoughtfully: "I thought that the CEO of a big company like you would have a private jet or something?"

"There are quite a few."

Xia gnashed her teeth and said angrily, "But those restless people may tamper with my plane. To be safe, I can only take a plane to Antarctica first, and then transfer to transportation to the Central Island. Don't worry, Master. I will make them make up for this mistake."

Guo Linglong shrugged at the murderous Xia, then changed the subject: "By the way, do you know how many magical girls there are in our mortal enemy, the Three Sages Alliance?"

"Eh?"

Although she didn't understand what this abrupt question meant, Xia still shook her head honestly.

"I'm not sure, but there are definitely more than witches. Dark Eden requires people to be 'bad guys' when recruiting. Only those who are ruthless and can do bad things can be selected. There were many people with this kind of qualifications in ancient times, but in modern times, where civilization is increasingly advocated, they are becoming increasingly scarce. Of course, even in ancient times, people like you who are born extremely evil only exist in legends."

"In other words, because civilization has developed and there are more good people, the number of members in Dark Eden is less than that of the Three Sages?"

Guo Linglong rubbed her chin thoughtfully and muttered, "But even if that's the case, a witch and a magical girl are on the same plane. Isn't that too much of a coincidence?"

"Huh? Magical girl?"

Xia subconsciously wanted to stand up, but Guo Linglong pressed her shoulders and forced her to sit down.

"There are two or three magical girls in seat C, row 6, behind us. They didn't notice us, so don't alert them."

Xia took a closer look and discovered that Guo Linglong had turned on the selfie function of her mobile phone and was secretly observing the situation behind her through the camera. She also leaned forward to observe carefully.

But there was no one "seen" in the so-called Seat C of the sixth row. Just when Xia thought her master was playing a trick on her, she suddenly discovered that there was a dent on the airplane seat, and it was obvious that someone was lying there.

"Invisibility magic?"

Xia stared at the seat where no one was seen and frowned.

“It’s not something that simple.”

Guo Linglong rubbed her chin and muttered, "There should be magic that can even eliminate breathing sounds, and magic that can sense traces of movement, a total of three magics - haha, I didn't expect that magical girls would also evade tickets."

"They came for me."

Xia gritted her teeth and said, "Although there are more magical girls than witches, there are no more than ten thousand of them. Now there are two witches and three magical girls on the same plane. This is too coincidental. They must have heard about the witches here and rushed over to hunt them."

"It's hard to say. If they were really coming for us, they should have sat directly in the first-class cabin which is close enough to us instead of squeezing into the economy class."

Guo Linglong rubbed his chin and was about to make some inferences when suddenly there was a violent jolt and he had close contact with Xia, who was very close to him.

"It hurts..."

During the bumpy ride, Guo Linglong and Xia covered their red foreheads with their hands, barely controlling their body balance and standing up to see the situation clearly. Although the passengers' terrified screams continued to stimulate his eardrums, he still held the parachute and oxygen mask in his hands in the chaos.

Not long after, the captain's forcedly calm voice was broadcast over the radio, telling the panicked passengers in both Chinese and English that one of the plane's engines had stalled. He solemnly emphasized that their plane had four engines and that if one was out of service, there were still three left, so the passengers did not need to panic.

A magical girl and a witch were on the same plane, and the plane crashed?

In this situation, it would be an insult to one's intelligence to say that it was a coincidence. It was obvious that someone disliked Xia very much and wanted to end her life right here.

“That was expected, so I didn’t take my own flight.”

Xia gritted her teeth and said, "But I didn't expect that they would be so cruel as to even blow up a civilian airliner!"

"Everyone stay calm, don't panic!"

At this moment, the three magical girls who had been remaining invisible could no longer keep quiet and hurriedly appeared on the scene to maintain order. One of the blond European girls even came to Guo Linglong and grabbed his arm.

Just when Guo Linglong thought that her and Xia's identities were about to be exposed, the magical girl comforted them with a smile that was uglier than crying: "Sir, please don't be afraid, we will be fine, absolutely fine!"

"Of course we'll be fine. Calm down. Take a deep breath. Calm down."

Feeling the force that seemed to break his arm, Guo Linglong gently comforted the girl who wanted to comfort him: "Didn't the captain say that there are still three engines that can be used? We are not doomed yet."

boom! boom! boom!

There were three more sharp explosions, but this time Guo Linglong, who was well prepared, firmly fixed himself on the seat, and the magical girl fell into his arms in a very embarrassed manner.

Then the girl, who was shaking all over and looking like she was about to cry, stammered,

"Don't... don't be nervous... sir... I... I will definitely... save you. You must believe... that miracles and magic... do exist!"

Chapter 116 Let the professionals come

When Xia asked him for advice and wanted to go back to his company to clean out some corrupt officials, Guo Linglong agreed without much thought. After all, he had no foresight and would never have thought that he would encounter a plane crash halfway. Now that he thought about it... it seemed a good thing that he didn't mind the trouble and came along specially.

With Yixia's temperament and ability, she would definitely step on the missile and fly away without saying a word, and then watch the plane crash.

Ignoring the magical girl who tried to dissuade her, Guo Linglong once again looked at the surroundings, the panicked passengers, the pale-faced stewardess, and most importantly - the plane that was gliding downward after losing four engines.

Now the plane is not as bumpy as before, but this is just a false sense of security after entering the gliding state. When the gliding state ends, the plane will be destroyed and everyone will die, so the top priority is to restart the paralyzed engine...

"Sir, please return to your seat."

At this time, the other two magic girls who went to comfort others also came to Guo Linglong. The leading magic girl said reluctantly: "We will ensure your safety. Please be patient. The three of us will find a way to stop the plane!"

"Don't look at sister."

The magical girl who was lying on Guo Linglong in fear before asked weakly: "Our magics of 'invisibility', 'silence' and 'perception' are not magic that can solve this situation. How can we stop it?"

"Don't worry, Mo Jue. Although magic is useless, we still have magic power."

Another magical girl waved her little fist like a hot-blooded idiot and said, "Just like Superman in the comics, the three of us will run outside, hold onto the bottom of the plane, and fly with it."

"Sister Mo Ting, aren't you being too reckless?"

The magical girl named Mo Jue hurriedly asked: "Our magic power has not been trained to that level yet, right?"

"What we lack we make up with passion and momentum!"

Mo Ting clenched his fist and said loudly: "That's what the comics say, and this is the only way to stop the plane from falling."

Guo Linglong next to her glanced at the magical girl Mo Shi, who was obviously the captain. She looked hesitant at the moment and did not reject the plan proposed by her teammates. After all... she obviously did not have a good solution herself.

It seems like these magical girls are not reliable at all.

"Little girl."

Guo Linglong shook her head and interrupted, "It's good to have momentum, but we have to talk about science. Science is that Superman has never been to elementary school. Even elementary school students know that the smaller the force-bearing area, the greater the pressure. If we use that method to save the plane, he will be like a nail, piercing the plane directly."

After saying that, Guo Linglong left her seat and shuttled through the bumpy plane and the panicked crowd. Just as the magical girls were about to stop her, Xia stood in front of the three of them and threw a piece of paper at them with extreme contempt.

"Use it to write your will, and don't disturb us."

Without paying attention to the magical girl, Guo Linglong quickly grabbed an equally panicked stewardess and whispered, "Miss, where is the announcement? I have a way to calm everyone down."

The stewardess pointed in a direction with a pale face and then collapsed on the ground. An unpleasant smell of urine wafted over.

There was no time to comfort the poor frightened man. Guo Linglong, who touched the radio, cleared her throat and said loudly: "Passengers, please be quiet."

After saying this, Guo Linglong repeated it several times, but unfortunately no one paid attention to him. The fear of death made people lose their minds. They started to quarrel and vent their anger on their own.

"Quiet the fuck up! If you keep making noise, I'll beat you up!!"

After the loud shouting, the passengers looked at the broadcasting station in a daze. Seeing that there was some effect, Guo Linglong said confidently and loudly: "We still have a spare engine on the plane. We will replace it now. Please sit back in your seats. I guarantee with my reputation as a professional that you will be fine."

"fraud!"

A passenger yelled in dissatisfaction: "There is no such thing as a spare engine on an airplane! You..."

"Dear passengers, for your own safety, please subdue those who are causing the riot. I repeat, for your own safety."

The passenger wanted to say something, but another passenger next to him angrily slapped him in the face and shouted, "Shut up and let the professionals do it," which stunned him.

Guo Linglong's lie was not very clever. Anyone with a little knowledge of aviation would know that airplanes do not have spare engines, and even if they did, it would be impossible to replace them during the flight. But people are only willing to believe what they want to believe, and now... they want to believe that they can really survive in this impossible situation.
