Superman Termination Manual - Chapter 272

Chapter 272: Chapter 182: Bai Yi Squad vs. Dice Monster (Part 1)

[Cai Bing: No, I haven’t located Gastella yet. She’s hidden very well, barely appearing under surveillance.]

The glass curtain wall elevator carrying Qing Ya reached the bottom, and as he walked out of Superhero Tower, he mentally replied to Cai Bing’s message.

[Failed Man: Alright, I guessed as much that she wouldn’t be easy to find.]

[Failed Man: So, what do you want from me?]

[Cai Bing: Fan Quan and I have discussed it, and we both don’t recommend that you meet with Gastella.]

[Cai Bing: Talk to him for the details, I won’t waste my breath. I still have to go to work, such a hassle.]

Qing Ya heaved a slight sigh, opened Fan Quan’s chat panel, typed a message, and sent it.

[Failed Man: What’s your great insight, cultured man?]

[Fan Quan: I’ve said it, don’t meet with her tomorrow.]

[Fan Quan: You’ve said it yourself, she didn’t make a move against you and Paranoid in the cafe last time because Black Judge was nearby; this time, she’s likely to attack you, and regardless of the outcome, it won’t be in your favor.]

[Fan Quan: You should know she has less than a month left. If she can’t find the vampire sister in your family, she’ll die because of the Blood Clan Oath.]

[Fan Quan: In such a scenario, how could she possibly have a friendly conversation with you and wait for you to scout for her?]

[Fan Quan: She’s more likely to just take you and get what she wants through forceful means; if that fails, to hold you captive to lure out other players. For her, that’s definitely the better choice… In fact, if I were in her shoes, I, or you, would definitely do the same. Nothing is more important than one’s own life, and that also goes for relationships with other players.]

[Failed Man: I know.]

[Fan Quan: Of course, you might say, ‘In the worst case, I can detonate the puppet and break free at any time.’], but if Gastella hears the sound of the puppet exploding, she’ll naturally realize Dice Monster is you.]

[Fan Quan: After all, someone has recorded a video of Dice Monster exploding before. That laugh can’t be unique anymore. Once she investigates, she’ll know.]

[Fan Quan: If the background of Dice Monster is exposed, it will lead to many clues. If Gastella publicly declares ‘Dice Monster is a player,’ then from now on, you can forget about working with your family. They all know you’re aiming to exterminate Superhumans, and knowing your true intentions, how could they still be fooled by you?]

[Failed Man: That, I’m aware of.]

[Failed Man: Gastella is testing my depth, and I’m doing the same with hers. If she doesn’t bring any members of those vampire organizations, she alone won’t be able to catch me. Just dealing with players, I’m ninety-nine percent confident I can win against her, or at the very least, escape from her clutches.]

[Fan Quan: What if she really brings those Blood Clan Hunters, even one A-rank, you can’t escape from them.]

[Failed Man: Then I’ll also bring people, let’s see whose team is stronger. This is one of the few chances I can leverage the gap in intelligence. She doesn’t know I have a bunch of tough guys at home.]

[Fan Quan: That makes sense, then who do you plan to bring?]

[Failed Man: That’s my own issue, you don’t need to worry about it.]

[Fan Quan: If you don’t have ninety percent certainty, then I’ll say it again, avoid her for the time being. Understand your position versus hers; she’s the offense, you’re the defense: if she can’t find a vampire within a month, her heart will stop; but you don’t have that restriction, you just need to hide, not attack proactively.]

[Failed Man: No, I do have a limitation.]

[Fan Quan: What are you referring to?]

[Failed Man: The limitation is, if my family captures Gastella alive, I have a ninety-nine percent chance of being exposed.]

[Failed Man: If she confesses to official personnel that ‘in this city, there is a player hiding a vampire in their home,’ and gives up that once-a-month usable Book of Prophecy, then following these two leads, my family will quickly realize Bai Ziling is actually that vampire.]

[Failed Man: Then, after a thorough investigation at home, they’ll immediately know I’m that player.]

[Fan Quan: You have a point. It seems your situation is no easier than Gastella’s. You’ll have to find Gastella faster than your family.]

[Failed Man: No, I’m staying at home, so I’m very aware of every single person’s actions and have already infiltrated their organization with several aliases.]

[Failed Man: I don’t need to ensure that I find Gastella faster than they do, I just need to make sure that after they catch Gastella, before Gastella can spill the information, I find a way to deal with her. That’s enough.]

[Fan Quan: That’s very difficult. What if your ninja bro or Qing Ya takes her away? How are you going to find her then? You can’t keep up with those two, let alone find them.]

[Fan Quan: And what about killing Gastella right under their watchful eyes?]

[Failed Man: I have a tracking device, Anchor Sunglasses. I can track them when they are at home, so I’m not afraid of losing them.]

[Failed Man: As for how to kill Gastella, my skill speciality is surprise; it’s not without a chance.]

[Fan Quan: Even so, the difficulty is still high.]

[Failed Man: It is high. But I can’t leave my fate in the hands of others and just wait for death at home.]
