Chapter 328: Chapter 298 Difficult to Treat Conditions

```

"I’m afraid she might explode," the Scavengers Leader pointed to the bizarre protruding patterns on the Infant Witch’s skin.

"Where is her mother?"

The Scavenger Leader led Xu Yang outside and pointed to a woman leaning against two garbage bins, her mouth askew and her eyes skewed—a simpleton.

"And her father?"

"One of the dozen or so thugs nearby, I don’t know," the Scavenger Leader shook his head.

The child’s breath was very weak. She was obviously very ill, and not quite like the other infant witches—she could die at any moment.

Xu Yang swallowed, mentally preparing himself. The Scavenger Leader gestured, and the two women by the bed carefully lifted the fragile infant, no bigger than half an arm’s length, into Xu Yang’s hands.

He felt as if the child weighed a thousand pounds.

Xu Yang cautiously extended his hands. With innate reverence, he held the infant close and stepped out of the stench-filled room one step at a time.

"You," the Scavenger Leader pointed at Xu Yang’s face, "you must send back information on the subsequent state of these five infants. Do you understand? We will check. Even though they were sold for money by us, they are still part of Garbage Hill."

"I promise they will receive the best care," Xu Yang pledged, glancing towards Garbage Hill. "What about you? You’ve exchanged these five infant witches for 500,000 Funds. What do you plan to do?"

The Scavenger Leader sighed deeply.

"Survive," he said.

Xu Yang placed the five thermally insulated boxes containing the witch infants back on Purple Wind, carefully laying them flat on the ground, making sure that any form of shaking wouldn’t affect the boxes, and then he drove the Purple Wind into the air.

It was at that moment that the control panel of the Purple Wind sounded an alarm, indicating that the Shuttle Machine was targeted by automatic gunfire and needed to maneuver to evade immediately.

Xu Yang scanned for the threat and discovered it was the Samurai. In their search for A40 and their entry into the Self Help Society near Garbage Hill, many were scattered on the ground searching everywhere for A40. The Purple Wind, which had abruptly taken to the sky, had become their perfect target.

He contacted Farosa.

At that time, Farosa was on the 7th floor of the Shijin Mansion, narrating to the Young Witches a story of how disobedient children were eaten by the brutal Witch Goddess as an illustration of the importance of obeying rules.

Farosa was pleased; over a hundred little fools were quivering in front of her, hopefully translating into fewer troubles with feeding them and changing their diapers.

Upon receiving the message from Xu Yang, Farosa frowned, stood up, and left the matter to Mizuiro Yoshioka. Mizuiro Yoshioka had managed other Young Witches before and thus had gained some experience in handling immature girls. She took over Farosa’s task and continued telling the enchanting story.

"What’s happened?" Farosa asked.

"It’s dangerous," Xu Yang said, "Six humans, six robots, one of them with officer-level combat ability, the rest also elite. On my side, I have five infant witches close to death."

Farosa hesitated on the spot, not immediately agreeing. She did not want to involve more Little Witches; the dozens, if not hundreds she already had, were enough of a concern. But Xu Yang mentioned their critical condition, and Farosa felt she couldn’t not go.

She informed 102 and 101 about the situation. 101 immediately went to Kazama Palace, grabbed seven or eight electromagnetic grenades, wrapped them around his waist with an armed belt, and then, along with Farosa and 102, jumped repeatedly to reach the outskirts and the Self Help Society.

first ascended to the top of Shijin Mansion, locked on the rooftop of another building within the Magic Power’s range, then immediately took Farosa and 102 across, repeating the trick on each jump—aiming for the tops of buildings as far away as possible, landing gently to avoid overlapping of positions.

Meanwhile, outside of Garbage Hill, facing the intrusion of the Warrior Party, A40 and Seeking Shadow rushed down to intercept.

"Alright! A40!" Han Shishan waved his long sword. "You’ve finally shown yourself!"

"It was you who persuaded me to do this, what does it have to do with me!" A40 said angrily.

"That’s the way the world works, come on!" Han Shishan flicked his own sword with his finger and immediately lunged towards A40, cutting towards its forehead with swift speed.

A40 quickly raised its metal sword to defend, sparks flying upon collision. The two weapons met in a series of strikes. A40’s figure quickly retreated, fighting evenly matched with Han Shishan. Seeking Shadow alone held off several lesser Samurai, the Ion Sword in his hands danced impenetrably, like a sphere of light.

```

The other robots, intent on eliminating A40 and Seeking Shadow, broke away from the Colosseum’s rules; they drew guns and rocket launchers to attack, firing continuously as explosions erupted in succession.

The villagers around watched in terror, just like their forefathers, who had stood in their villages and Chengxia Town, witnessing how the Lord’s samurai wreaked havoc on the rural lands—only in the past, samurai wielded iron swords, while the modern ones are armed with guns and propulsion devices, leaving them no choice but to do exactly as their ancestors did: flee.

It was at this moment that Farosa and 101, 102 arrived on the battlefield.

Observing the chaotic scene before her, Farosa’s brow furrowed in disgust. She quickly unleashed the grey magic power in her hands, causing a flash of grey light to envelop the world. Instantly, the magic power covered the battlefield, and the samurai engaging A40 and Seeking Shadow were torn to pieces by the magic, already beyond saving.

Immediately afterward, 101 preemptively triggered the electromagnetic grenades on his body, leaped into the midst of several robot samurai, pulled off his weapon strap, and scattered electromagnetic pulse grenades all over before leaping back to his original position.

Boom!

The robot samurai were instantly swept away by the dense burst of electromagnetic pulses. Their protective layers penetrated, all circuit components and precision coils burnt to a crisp, they became charred and shattered remnants, their bodies burning and scattered across the ground. 102 hadn’t even made a move yet, and the enemy had already been annihilated. This was the first time 102 deeply realized that not all magic powers were equal.

After the Colosseum Warrior Party was annihilated, Xu Yang started up the Purple Wind, taking Farosa and 101, 102 with him, and headed back to the Shijin Mansion.

A40 looked back at Han Shishan, now reduced to a sprawl of blood and remains. A40 felt a hollow fear. Did they die because of him? It couldn’t tell.

"A40! There is no place for you in this world anymore," Seeking Shadow shouted at it.

"I didn’t do this," A40 replied, distressed, "Why must it be this way for me?"

"Can all things in this world be clearly delineated into black and white?" Seeking Shadow asked, "Only life and death are definitive, and now they are all dead. Revenge will continue to come, and you will continue to be hunted. What is there left to say?"

"Yah!" A40, enraged, "This annoying world! Once I find Huang Feng, we will retire to the countryside and never come out again!"

It picked one piece of bone fragment from Han Shishan, burned it to ash as a memento.

Xu Yang gave A40 a commission to head for Mingge Mountain and bring back the Anonymous, and to lie low in the process.

A40 turned the sword in its hand, feeling utterly perplexed by the operating rules of the human world, and not just by the events at hand; the very nature of the entire world was chaotic!

"Alright!" said A40 to Seeking Shadow, "I’ll set off west to fetch the Shuttle Machine. When I return with the Shuttle Machine, we can settle our scores then!"

"Go as far as you can," Seeking Shadow dismissed A40.

Elsewhere, Farosa observed the five frail and pained Infant Witches aboard the Shuttle Machine, probably never having eaten anything normal since birth, each showing different degrees of illness, developmental delays, limb incoordination, and some downright afflicted with disabilities.

This made Farosa particularly pained; she had never felt the sorrow of others before, but now, confronted with the fragile appearance of these Infant Witches, an indescribable grief washed over her.

She stood up inside the Shuttle Machine and repeatedly chanted healing miracles, with life energy swirling in the air, slowly restoring the Young Witches’ health, improving their physical condition.

These nearly dying fragile witches gradually began to show signs of vitality, but this was just a drop in the bucket, as the health readings from the incubator continued to alarm.

"Maybe we should use Sally’s life-restoring power to help them," said Xu Yang.

"No... Sally’s magic power is extremely robust," Farosa shook her head, "while these Infant Witches, they’re simply too frail to withstand any fluctuations at all."

Farosa’s expression was deeply troubled, and Xu Yang saw her showing such sadness for the first time.

She said nothing more, simply continuing to chant healing miracles over and over, reciting the secret script until her voice was hoarse, almost drying out her throat. Finally, at the seventh repetition, when even Farosa could bear no more, the condition of the Infant Witches showed a slight improvement.

Xu Yang approached an incubator, observing through the viewing panel that the life signs of the Infant Witches had stabilized. All health readings were also improving.

Only the unfortunate child, born just a day ago and afflicted with a strange sickness propagated by a deranged woman, possibly due to barely having ingested any breast milk, was at her last breath and would soon perish.

Anxiously, Farosa observed the infant witch, convinced that she had contracted a curious disease. Deep red scars appeared on her skin, which matched the pattern of the Magic Circuit inside her body, as if her internal Magic Circuit had undergone some disharmonious mutation, causing her tiny body to fail to bear the burden and fast approach an early demise.
