New Neighbor X Insomnia

Unbeatable strength... paired with those 'wise' eyes, absolutely amazing.

He pondered in a daze.

It is because of Saitama that the Hero Association exists today.

The 'chin-butt' boy that the bald man rescued from the Crablante was the grandson of the wealthy Agoni.

"Hey, hello there."

After a moment, it was Oboro who reacted first and waved to Saitama.

"..."

Saitama was taken aback.

Dressed in casual clothes, he carried his belongings upstairs.

Upon arriving at the corridor in front of the residence, they observed Oboro and the open door beside her.

His house is just one room away.

"Who are you..."

Saitama asked cautiously and somewhat warily.

"Homeless people at the bottom of society... just like you." Long smiled slightly and said naturally, "I heard that there are still many empty houses here, and the water, electricity and gas have not been cut off, so I came here... I didn't expect that there were still people living here."

"So... from today onwards, we're neighbors..."

After hearing what the man in front of him said, Saitama first breathed a sigh of relief, then seemed to realize the 'seriousness' of the situation, and immediately moved closer, waving his hands, 'No no no no...'

"Don't you know? This place is extremely dangerous... It's full of strange people, really not a suitable place to live. I advise you to hurry up..."

Before he could finish speaking, Long countered, "Don't you live here too?"

"Why can you do it, but I can't?"

"Anyway, they're all unclaimed... so it's not considered misappropriation of someone else's property, so it should be fine, right?"

"Well."

Long's rhetorical question immediately left the bald man speechless.

"We're different... I mean, I'm capable of protecting myself, but you..."

"They've already fallen to the lowest rungs of society... Compared to this shitty life, death doesn't seem like such a big deal."

However, the next second, Oboro's words and his eyes filled with 'despair' were like a sharp arrow, piercing Saitama's heart.

"..."

Saitama's expression returned to normal, and he scratched his head. "Well... in that case, do whatever you want."

After saying that, he walked past Long, stood at the door, took out his key, and prepared to go inside.

"Oh... right, let me introduce myself, my name is Oboro."

Long looked at him and said something.

"Saitama".

The bald man glanced at him, said his name, then pushed open the door and closed it.

His eyes were half-closed in a smile.

It seems... Baldy is not used to being with other people.

The reason for letting him leave was partly for safety reasons, but more importantly, the sudden appearance of someone in his life clearly made Saitama feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Based on Saitama's experience, he has actually become 'disconnected' from human society.

Saitama is particularly uncomfortable with interpersonal relationships.

"What a beautiful view..."

"There's no time. Let's go buy some household items tomorrow."

After enjoying the sunset for a while, Oboro returned to his room.

As night fell, after having a simple meal, Saitama lay on the tatami mat and watched television.

His eyes were fixed blankly on the screen, but his mind was actually on the 'unexpected' neighbor who had appeared earlier that day.

The other person gave him a strange feeling... He seemed like an ordinary person, but he always felt that something was wrong.

"Hmm... I don't want to think about it anymore. Since I was able to find this place, it's natural that others could also find it. There's nothing strange about it... it's normal."

After comforting himself, he turned off the TV, crawled into bed, and prepared to sleep.

However, as time went by, he tossed and turned in bed.

I'm wide awake.

He kept his eyes open, staring at the ceiling.

Someone suddenly barged into his life... causing him to lose sleep.

Meanwhile, in her room, Long silently entered into meditation to practice the Dharma.

The internal energy circulates.

He deliberately concealed his soul fluctuations and aura to a level as calm as still water, afraid that Saitama, who was separated by two walls, would notice something. After all, in Saitama's eyes, he should be just an 'ordinary person'.

A few minutes later, Oboro exhaled slightly and opened his eyes.

He couldn't forget the scene of observing Saitama's flesh and soul during the day, which made it impossible for him to concentrate on his cultivation.

While the bald man's soul strength was naturally not as great as Saitama's, the quality and state of his soul were something Oboro had never seen before... The closeness between his soul and flesh was practically inseparable. For example, Oboro could use soul power to destroy or manipulate others' spirits and consciousness, or even collect their souls... But Saitama's soul and body were 'welded together,' making it impossible to separate them individually. This meant that whether it was 'soul binding' or destruction, the final opponent would be... the bald man's powerful, integrated fighting force.

This kind of 'life' was something that Oboro had never seen even in the Dark Continent, Demon Slayer, and One Piece.

This was beyond his comprehension.

"Hehe."

Oboro shook her head, deciding not to think about it anymore... Anyway, Saitama was harmless to her.

This no-man's-land used to be full of weirdos, but with Saitama's arrival, it has been cleaned up... In fact, there is a 'rumor' circulating among the weirdos in the no-man's-land that a rather terrifying monster lives in this area, so naturally no weirdos dare to approach here.

"The information I received before coming here didn't mention the Vaccine Man incident, but judging from Saitama's appearance... I guess the start of the plot is coming soon." Oboro continued to mutter to himself.

Since it is a top-tier dimension, its power system must far surpass that of Demon Slayer and One Piece. Currently, his Qi Refining technique has stagnated after the Core Formation stage. To deduce the next level, he will inevitably need external assistance, just like the breathing techniques in Demon Slayer and the Soul-Soul Fruit in One Piece.

"My cultivation path has been extremely transcendent, and I have already reached the Core Formation level. The subsequent deductions will inevitably be extremely difficult... Ordinary power will probably be hard to use."

"Besides collecting resources... the only things I can think of right now are Saitama's 'limiter' and God... that is, the God-Awakener."

"If I could obtain the 'true teachings' of the bald man to break the limiter, I might be able to transform my method and reach a higher level... But given that Saitama's 'uniqueness aura' is too strong, I'm afraid no one else could do it, not even myself, a time traveler."

"Then... the remaining hope undoubtedly lies with the 'God'."

"However... whether their power can help me achieve this is still unknown; it seems a bit uncertain..."

As he spoke, Oboro raised his finger and lightly tapped the air.

He looked at the space in front of him and immediately saw ripples like water spreading across it.

This time, his journey from the One Piece allowed him to grasp a bit of the power of 'space and time'... In other words, he can now open space-time channels to find those God entities hidden in other dimensions.

Should we capture a few to study? "I remember that when the bald man fought the God, it seemed to involve the power of 'cause and effect'... This source of power is almost indistinguishable from the rules, so it's still a bit dangerous."

"Never mind, there's no rush anyway."

After pondering for a while, Long closed his eyes again and fell asleep.
