Inside the Hero Association Headquarters building.
Lin Mo walked in front with his hands in his pockets.
Wherever he passed, the surrounding staff would instinctively stop their work, only daring to let out a long sigh of relief once that tall figure had moved away.
Saitama followed behind him, carrying Black Sperm in one hand and tucking Rover under his arm, looking around and exclaiming:
"Wow, is this the inside of the headquarters? It's even more impressive than I imagined. By the way, is that vending machine over there free?"
"Hmm, it should be free for S-Class clearance."
Lin Mo replied casually, and just as he was about to head towards the elevator, the sound of rapid high heels came from the side.
"Wait!"
Accompanied by a slightly breathless shout, a dark green silhouette rushed out from the side, almost bumping into his back due to inertia.
Lin Mo stopped and tilted his head slightly.
The person who arrived was none other than the B-Class Rank 1 hero, Hellish Blizzard.
At this moment, she was wearing that dark green coat, her slender legs wrapped in black stockings.
"Mr. KING, Mr. Saitama."
Hellish Blizzard walked up to the two of them, quickly adjusted her breathing, and elegantly nodded in greeting.
Her gaze lingered for a moment on the black monkey that Saitama was holding, but she quickly looked away, focusing all her attention on KING.
Lin Mo stopped and nodded slightly: "Hellish Blizzard."
The simple two words made Hellish Blizzard feel an inexplicable pressure.
Even though KING was not activating the legendary "Emperor Engine" at this moment.
But he had just been through a great battle, and the aura of destruction still lingered on him, making it impossible for people to look directly at him.
"Mr. KING, are you two going to rest?" Hellish Blizzard asked tentatively.
"Hmm." Lin Mo was concise.
"Um, if you don't mind, could I take up a little of your time?"
Hellish Blizzard took a deep breath, gathered her courage, and said, "I am currently heading to the special detention area on the 13th underground floor to see that staff officer of the Monster Association — Psykos."
When mentioning the name "Psykos", Hellish Blizzard's tone fluctuated noticeably.
"If it's possible, I would like to invite you and Mr. Saitama to go with me."
Lin Mo raised his eyebrows in surprise.
See Psykos?
She's actually still alive?
The power of that attack from Evil Ocean Water was not small; it seems Psykos still had some trump cards...
Before Lin Mo could speak, Saitama behind him shrugged indifferently: "I don't have a problem with it, I'm free anyway. What do you say, KING?"
Lin Mo glanced at Saitama, then looked at the expectant Hellish Blizzard, and sighed inwardly.
It seems a nap is out of the question.
But since Psykos is still alive, it might be good to go and see; if there are any hidden dangers, it's better to deal with them in advance.
After all, he doesn't know the plot after this.
"Lead the way." He said briefly.
"Yes! Please follow me!" Hellish Blizzard's eyes lit up instantly.
Inside the elevator leading to the depths underground, the atmosphere was somewhat dull.
The floor number on the display screen jumped rapidly, descending quickly from the first basement level to the thirteenth.
Lin Mo stood in the center of the elevator with his hands in his pockets, looking straight ahead.
Saitama was boredly counting the screws on the elevator ceiling.
Black Sperm and Rover huddled in the corner, trying to minimize their presence.
Hellish Blizzard stood to the side, her hands folded in front of her, appearing slightly uneasy.
Lin Mo looked at Hellish Blizzard standing beside him through the reflection in the elevator wall, lost in thought.
In this world full of strong people, although Hellish Blizzard is a bit snobbish and cunning, her nature is not bad, and she has been working hard to prove herself.
"Hellish Blizzard."
The sudden voice broke the silence in the elevator.
Hellish Blizzard jolted, immediately straightening her back: "Yes! Mr. KING, do you have any advice?"
Lin Mo looked straight ahead, his tone flat, as if just chatting casually: "How have things been lately? With the Blizzard Group."
Upon hearing this question, Hellish Blizzard was stunned for a moment.
She didn't expect that the high and mighty Mr. KING would actually care about the situation of her little group.
Her eyes gradually softened, and a confident smile rose at the corner of her mouth.
"Thanks to you, Mr. KING. I have always remembered your previous guidance."
Hellish Blizzard turned to face Lin Mo, her tone carrying a hint of undisguised pride.
"Ever since I listened to your teachings last time, I have been reflecting on the meaning of the existence of the 'Blizzard Group'."
"During this time, I have stopped blind recruitment. In fact, the Blizzard Group hasn't accepted any new members for a long time."
Hellish Blizzard continued earnestly: "During this time, I have put all my energy into the existing members."
"Although Eyelash's physical fitness is average, his analysis of the battle situation and command ability are excellent; although Mountain Ape looks clumsy, his defense and instantaneous explosive power can be miraculous if coordinated properly..."
Speaking of her members, Hellish Blizzard's eyes shone with light.
"I have redesigned the tactics, complementing and matching them according to everyone's abilities."
She clenched her fists: "The current Blizzard Group, every member is shining in the right position, and we can achieve an effect of 'one plus one greater than two'!"
"And our reputation among the public is also slowly rising. No one says we are 'thugs who only know how to form cliques' anymore, but a truly efficient hero team."
Speaking of this, Hellish Blizzard raised her head, looking at Lin Mo with burning eyes.
"Now, I feel that I am finally worthy of the title of 'leader'."
The elevator went quiet again.
Lin Mo looked at the radiant woman in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
"Well done."
He nodded slightly, his voice low and powerful, "Knowing how to utilize the strength of your companions is the true path of the strong."
Receiving KING's affirmation, Hellish Blizzard's cheeks flushed with excitement, and her eyes were filled with gratitude: "Thank you! Mr. KING!"
"Ding—"
Just then, a crisp prompt sounded.
The heavy metal door slowly slid open to both sides.
The 13th underground floor, arrived.
"This way."
Hellish Blizzard restrained her emotions, returned to her usual aloofness, and led the two through the long corridor.
The guards on both sides saw KING appear, and each of them immediately stood at attention and saluted, their eyes full of awe.
Finally, they arrived in front of a special cell in the deepest part.
A woman with long wavy hair was sitting in a restraint chair.
Her clothes were somewhat damaged, and her expression appeared somewhat dazed and exhausted, looking exceptionally disheveled.
The mastermind behind the Monster Association, Psykos.
Seeming to sense something, Psykos slowly raised her head.
Hellish Blizzard walked to the front of the cell, crossed her arms, and looked at the woman inside, her expression complex.
"Psykos, my dear friend..."
Hellish Blizzard's voice echoed outside the empty cell, "Long time no see. I didn't expect us to reunite in this way."
