Witch Special

Chapter 146 Crisis PR - refers to using the Confusion Spell to turn people into fools first.

It took time for the Muggle Repelling Charm to be cast and for the Muggles to leave, but it took effect very quickly. From the time Lin Zhenxi cast the spell until the ordinary people packed up their things and left the original site of the magic tower, it took less than ten minutes in total.

Lin Zhenxi was in the control room and looked through the lens at the people below who were as small as ants. They packed up the equipment, instruments and cables laid on the ground like ants moving house, stuffed them into boxes and loaded them onto cars. Then they formed a huge convoy and drove towards the main urban area. He found this scene quite interesting.

The wizard who invented the Muggle-Repelling Charm was truly a genius.

After all the troublemakers had gone away, Lin Zhenxi controlled the suspended city to face the deep pit on the ground and inserted it in.

Although the Hanging City exited from here, returning required a different effort. Lin Zhenxi had been so rough pulling the magic tower out of the pit that even pulling up a radish would still leave it covered in mud, let alone such a large building.

A large amount of soil and rocks fell off the inner wall of the deep pit and all piled up at the bottom of the deepest part of the pit. This made it impossible for the hanging city to fall back into its own carrot pit seamlessly. Lin Zhenxi had to suspend the hanging city in mid-air and then go outside to clean up the rocks and soil piled up in the pit.

While using the fossils as mud to soften and dissolve the dirt below, Lin Zhenxi noticed the rough, loose rock walls surrounding the pit. While Lin Zhenxi's foray into the Hanging City today was a case of inconsiderateness, who knows what might happen next. As a precaution, it would be best to make this a suitable landing point for the Hanging City. This kind of dirt and debris that easily falls apart upon contact is completely unacceptable.

So after Lin Zhenxi dealt with the soil and rocks piled up at the bottom of the pit, he began to level and harden the inner wall of the entire pit.

A large pit that is more than a thousand meters deep and dozens of meters wide is not a small project. If an engineering team is contracted to do this, it may take a month or two to even finish setting up the scaffolding.

But Lin Zhenxi found that since she completed that strategic-level transformation of mud into stone, she had inexplicably become extremely adaptable to the two transformation spells, Stone into Mud and Mud into Stone, which were counter-spells to each other. Simply put, the effect that used to require 100 points of magic power can now be achieved with less than 10 points of magic power. It can be said that the efficiency of magic power utilization has increased tenfold, and the effect of the spell is also better than before.

Lin Zhenxi felt a bit amused after discovering this. Come on, these were two spells specifically used for plastering and building houses. She wasn't going to be a contractor, so what good would such a high adaptability to these two spells do her? She hadn't expected them to be used so soon. It was true that one shouldn't be too sure about anything. The slap in the face came too quickly and too suddenly.

Moreover, with the Floating City right beside her, Lin Zhenxi also enjoyed the added magical effects of the Floating City. With a single sweep of her wand, several thousand square meters of rock wall were flattened and hardened. The efficiency was incredibly high.

After filling and leveling all the large gaps in the rock wall, Lin Zhenxi controlled the Hanging City to descend into the pit. Once the Hanging City was firmly planted in the pit, Lin Zhenxi began the final step of hardening the base of the Hanging City.

Lin Zhenxi returned to the control room of the Hanging City and wrote the spell of turning mud into stone into the central control ball of the Hanging City. He directly used the entire Hanging City as a huge magic wand, and spread the magical effect of turning mud into stone to the surrounding areas through the outer shell of the Hanging City.

In this way, the soil around the hanging city was completely hardened into a whole, turning into an inverted giant stone elongated cone barrel, which tightly protected the underground part of the hanging city.

While the process might seem simple, it was actually quite exhausting. But Lin Zhenxi couldn't rest just yet. The invisibility spell wasn't a permanent solution; she needed to reapply the Fidelius Charm to completely erase the Hanging City from Muggle consciousness. After that, she also needed to deal with the aftermath of the Hanging City's exposure, otherwise she wouldn't have peace of mind.

People are social beings. As long as they live in this world, they must interact with others. Since Lin Zhenxi has chosen to integrate into this world, she must also maintain the interpersonal relationships in this world.

Of course, she could just run away. In this world without mystery, as long as she kept casting the Muggle-Repelling Charm, no one would be able to find her. But this also meant that all the work she had done before was meaningless, which was not what she wanted to see.

So, let's think about how to explain this to the officials in City Z. It's such a headache...

——————————Girl is negotiating——————————

Under the combined influence of Lin Zhenxi's nonsense, deception, deception, calling a horse a zebra, and lying with open eyes, as well as the powerful Confusion Spell that could almost turn a normal person into an idiot (and the latter accounted for a higher proportion), the officials of City Z reluctantly accepted Lin Zhenxi's explanation that the giant shuttle was actually her newly built [Baizhi] headquarters.

As for why a commercial company's headquarters would be built so high, why it could fly, and why it has disappeared now...

Lin Zhenxi really didn't know how to make up stories about these questions, so she simply focused on the refraction of light, saying that the exterior wall of the Baizhi headquarters used the latest light-absorbing material, which normally absorbs all light, so people outside can't see it. Unexpectedly, as she spoke, she made the logic self-consistent.

Did you see a long shuttle take flight over in City Z? No, no, no, that's not real. It's actually the completion of the Baizhi headquarters. When the main power supply was turned on, the powerful current circulation disturbed the atmosphere above, creating a mirage-like effect, projecting the entire building into the sky.

This also explains why the shuttle appears to be several thousand meters long when viewed from City Z. If you think about it, you will know that such a tall and slender building cannot exist in this world. The only explanation is that the light undergoes a strange refraction in the air, stretching the projection to the point of distortion. In addition, the light is absorbed by the curtain wall, which makes the projection look black as a whole.

Lin Zhenxi's explanation actually has a fatal flaw, that is, those who went to explore around the big pit actually saw the existence of the big pit.

However, according to what Lin Zhenxi had seen, they had only just begun deploying their instruments and hadn't officially begun measuring. In other words, they were at best standing at the edge of the pit, peering inside. It was impossible for them to visually determine the pit's actual depth of 1,500 meters, as after a few dozen meters, it became pitch black, and nothing could be seen.

Fortunately, the development of City Z is very poor, and it is impossible to retain truly professional researchers. The group of people who went to measure can only fiddle with the measuring instruments at best. The situations they report back are all guesses without data support and cannot be accurate at all.

So the question becomes: why did the surveyors return home en masse without receiving orders from their superiors? What exactly is this collective ideological induction?

Lin Zhenxi threw up her hands, asking how she knew why. The legs were on them, and wherever they wanted to go was their own decision. Instead of asking her, why not ask them what they were thinking at the time?

In any case, Lin Zhenxi would never admit in person that he has the ability to guide other people's thoughts. This ability is too taboo.

With the help of the Confusion Spell, the leaders were easily fooled. Although Lin Zhenxi's explanation still had many loopholes, they were already acceptable. As long as she could fool these officials, Lin Zhenxi wouldn't have to worry about the rest. She was City Z's only hope for tax revenue growth this year, and they would definitely protect Lin Zhenxi's image in the public eye.

Even with the confusion spell that reduced the other party's cognitive ability, this closed-door meeting still killed a large number of Lin Zhenxi's brain cells, so when she walked out of the government building, she couldn't help but let out a long breath, revealing a tired expression.

It's really troublesome to deal with such official people. If he had a choice, Lin Zhenxi would rather fight with a powerful monster to test the actual effect of the magic cannon, rather than arguing with this group of city managers.

I’m tired, go home and sleep!

Lin Zhenxi was out on business this time, and as a major executive, he certainly couldn't have walked or cycled here. Baizhi's official car was parked on the curb. Four bald, burly men, wearing custom-made suits over their power armor, were stationed at the entrance. When Lin Zhenxi emerged, they positioned themselves at her four corners, using their towering figures to keep out any reporters waiting at the government gate seeking to interview Lin Zhenxi or, more accurately, the founder of Baizhi.

The reporters had skinny arms and legs, their thighs not even as thick as the arms of Lin Zhenxi's four bodyguards, so of course they couldn't stand up to them. The four burly men directly separated Lin Zhenxi from the reporters by more than a meter. Even if they dislocated their arms, they couldn't reach Lin Zhenxi with their recorders.

Lin Zhenxi had the support of the Z city government, so he was not afraid that these uncrowned kings who had no way to escape to other cities would write whatever they wanted. So he didn't give them any face at all, got into the car directly, and didn't give any reporter a chance to interview him.

These reporters were all locals, and they all knew how powerful Baizhi's group of bald men in power armor could be when they got angry. They were the ones who forcibly maintained order in City Z during the crisis of a meteorite destroying the world, and their hands were stained with blood.

Moreover, unlike registered heroes, Lin Zhenxi's bodyguards would not hesitate to attack ordinary people. So for the sake of their own lives, they did not dare to make any move to grab Lin Zhenxi. They could only helplessly watch Lin Zhenxi get into the car, and then the car started, merged into the traffic flow, and completely disappeared.

Fortunately, at this moment, another person came out of the government building and called all the reporters in. Before holding a press conference to explain the strange phenomenon in the sky today, they had to communicate in advance to avoid anyone asking stupid questions that would embarrass everyone.

In any case, this time the public relations crisis caused by Lin Zhenxi's inconsideration has been resolved.

Congratulations, congratulations.
