Superman Termination Manual - Chapter 248

Chapter 248: Chapter 167 Family Meeting Second Loop (Part 1)

Linjiang Business District.

Amidst leaping electric arcs, thorny vines twisted like countless pythons, entwining every corner of the street.

The commercial street no longer looked as prosperous as it once had, but rather like a unique maze with both modern features and the wild traits of untamed nature.

Black Wukong stood still at the center of the street, tilted his head, and gazed silently at the distant blue owl through his mask. He remained silent, his emotions complex.

It was somewhat funny to say, but the reason Bai Qiuwu had gone out was because she had recently seen the news on Weibo that “Dice Monster had appeared again at Huanjing Tower!”

Given the previous examples, the moment she saw the news, Bai Qiuwu subconsciously thought that this strange thing was probably inviting her to meet again, right?

To pay attention to it seemed rather pointless;

Yet to ignore it didn’t feel quite right either… Who knows whether it would do something utterly shocking out of boredom.

But she really didn’t know what kind of reason to come up with to meet it; being led by the nose every time would be rather embarrassing.

Just then, she remembered that today “Dice Monster kidnapped the Commander but then released him unharmed” had happened, so Bai Qiuwu thought she might as well ask this strange thing what mischief it was up to today, thus giving her a reason to meet it.

Immediately, she left the house without looking back and rode the Somersault Cloud towards Huanjing’s Number 7 Overpass.

When Bai Qiuwu hurried to the Number 7 Overpass, she found not a single soul there, so she had no choice but to sit alone on the railing, staring blankly at the brightly lit city in the distance for a while, unfortunately still failing to wait for the Dice Monster’s appearance.

In the end, she felt like a grudge-bearing person who had been stood up on a date, somewhat irked, yet also feeling as if she was making too much of it: Not every time the strange thing rolled the dice did it mean to chat with her on this overpass, not to mention the passing mention of “Ninja Mr.” which she had subconsciously taken as babble and ignored…

Just as Bai Qiuwu was about to dejectedly pick up her Jingu Bang to go home, she suddenly heard a huge commotion from Linjiang Business District, thinking since she had already come, it wasn’t a wasted trip if a superhuman crime incident had occurred.

Bai Qiuwu then rode the Somersault Cloud at top speed to the place, had a glance, and that led to all the subsequent events.

At this moment, seeing Black Wukong staring at him, blue owl slightly tilted his head, tilting his beak as well.

“Er… hello?”

He spoke slowly, greeting her and waving from a distance.

Black Wukong watched him for a while and then let out a sigh of relief.

Since her current Golden-Eye Fire-Viewing ability could not see through substantial objects, only illusions, she couldn’t see who was beneath the blue owl mask. Moreover, the other party was using a voice changer, making voice recognition unrealistic.

“Should I get tough and pry off his mask?”

She thought this and then shook her head.

“No, better not. There are plenty of other methods and means to confirm his identity. Prising off his mask now might actually put him in danger.”

While thinking this, Black Wukong glanced sideways at those fearless media reporters and passersby filming with their phones. In such a situation, she definitely couldn’t unmask blue owl in public, regardless of who the person beneath the mask was.

So, she took out her phone from the pocket of her metal windbreaker and typed rapidly on the screen with her fingers wrapped in her gauntlet before turning the screen toward blue owl.

Blue owl looked closely and saw the message on the screen: Are you hurt.

He shrugged and replied, “Minor injury, just a broken rib or two. With a superhuman physique, it’ll heal in a couple of days. Thanks for your concern, Mr. Black Wukong. If you hadn’t arrived in time, I’d probably be torn in half by that bad woman by now…”

“That’s good to hear.”

Black Wukong continued to type and raised the screen to respond.

Meanwhile, she made a mental note of where blue owl was injured, planning to go home and grill Ke Mingye, turning into a step-by-step advanced reading machine, pressing exactly where it hurt to see if the lad would keep pretending or not?

Of course, if he didn’t react, she’d actually be happier: Having a dragon brother and a Magic Girl sister at home was enough; adding a superhero brother would make daily life utterly unbearable.

She glanced back at the unconscious Black Rose, beneath whom a pool of blood had already formed.

Although the Ninja claimed to have shown restraint, it didn’t seem completely the case: Such a wound would have already been fatal for a weaker superhuman; luckily, Black Rose’s body had a natural healing ability, so she could withstand this amount of blood loss.

Bai Qiuwu had initially thought about having blue owl take Black Rose to the Association Building, which would have allowed him to gain some credit.

But if Black Rose was only pretending to be unconscious, that would be a huge problem; with this lad’s modest skills, a nearly defeated counterkill would be more than enough.

After all, blue owl was not like her, receiving daily martial arts instruction from Sun Wukong.

Though the monkey taught in a rather half-hearted way, as if humoring a child. In Chinese mythology, the majority of Sun Wukong’s battles were won with exceptional strength rather than martial arts, but this did not stop him from being innately smart and self-taught.
