Superman Termination Manual

Chapter 273: Chapter 182: Bai Yi Squad VS Dice Monster (Part 1)_2

[Fan Quan: After analyzing the situation like this, you’re completely stuck now. Whether you take the initiative to attack or stay hidden, there’s a high chance your identity will be revealed because of Gastella.]

[Fan Quan: Hey, to be honest, I think there’s a high probability that you’re really done for this time. She’s like divine punishment sent to deal with you. Why not just resort to the worst-case scenario?]

[Failed Man: What’s the worst-case scenario?]

[Fan Quan: Abandon the identity of Ke Mingye. Then use the No. 7 instance card to board the train at the abandoned train station in the Old Jingmai District and make a getaway, moving to another operational base.]

[Fan Quan: You could stay near Tokyo, using the Deception Puppet and Ju Zipi to play the role of Cowherd, while your actual self grinds instances on the Tokyo side. Doesn’t that sound pretty good?]

[Fan Quan: Moreover, considering the current situation, it’s unlikely that the Black Tengu Club will fall, so it’s safe there.]

[Failed Man: Cut it out. If I’m really going to abandon the identity of Ke Mingye, then what was the point of hiding out this long at home?]

[Fan Quan: Look on the bright side, it’s better to give up your Huanjing identity now and lie low in Japan for a year than to be caught, spill the beans about the Japanese branch’s affairs, and drag the Black Tengu Club and Ju Zipi down with you. Sure, you’ll be lacking a powerful network, but it won’t be too bad. At least you’ll be alive.]

[Failed Man: Although it makes sense, I refuse. It’s too lame to admit defeat before the battle even starts.]

[Fan Quan: There’s a term in psychology called “sunk cost”. You’re probably experiencing that right now, feeling that you’ve put so much effort into your disguise, you’re reluctant to easily give up the identity of “the fourth son of Bai Ke’s home”.]

[Fan Quan: But really, it’s only been a month, so it’s not a sunken cost. It’s time to cut your losses. After this Gastella incident, I think your chances of survival are less than thirty percent.]

[Failed Man: Thirty percent is enough for me, let me take a gamble.]

[Failed Man: If I get caught, then you remember to notify Ju Zipi and the Anti-Superhuman Organization in Japan to evacuate Kabukicho as soon as possible, so they don’t get dragged down by me.]

Fan Quan was silent for a long time before replying to his message.

[Fan Quan: I see your point, with your stubbornness, I never really thought I could persuade you.]

[Fan Quan: Let’s agree in advance then, we can’t afford to take the risk with you. Helping you to this extent is already the limit. Not to mention that you’ve made Gastella shift her focus onto me.]

[Failed Man: Even if you hadn’t reached out to me, I would have made it clear to you and the others as soon as possible. I’m aware of my situation.]

[Fan Quan: Cai Bing will still keep in touch with you. If she locates Gastella through the monitors, she’ll inform you immediately; the rest of us will stay away from Huanjing, to avoid entanglement with Gastella.]

[Fan Quan: That’s it. I have nothing else to say.]

[Failed Man: Okay, you better get out of Huanjing fast. Gastella’s parasites have probably spread throughout the entire city, her eyes are everywhere.]

[Fan Quan: I know, just take care of yourself.]

After sending that message, Blu Owl glanced around to make sure no one was following him or that there weren’t one or two crows flying overhead, then turned and entered an alley.

He activated the invisibility feature of his nocturnal belt and soon returned to the abandoned train station in the Old Jingmai District.

Today, Ke Mingye, when playing Blu Owl, used his real body, not a Deception Puppet, so at present, there was no one waiting for him on the platform.

Since his second brother and elder sister were almost certain of his identity, at this point in time, it was best to switch to his real body.

Even if those Blood Clan Hunters were formidable, he was confident in Ke Xiaomo. Even if there was someone his second brother couldn’t defeat, his second brother could carry him and easily escape. Never underestimate a ninja’s evasion tactics.

So, even if Ke Xiaomo tracked him to this train station, it was no big deal.

Moreover, Ke Mingye had already warned Fan Quan and the others in advance.

He had said not to leave any items or evidence related to the players at this train station, to avoid that sullen second brother coming over to search the place someday, and discovering any clues.

Ke Mingye’s spare cell phone, the Magic Girl Alliance ID card, and the like were tucked into the Magic Book of Xiaohongmao.

Now, if they were still stored in the platform locker, that would be far too dangerous. The chance of discovery by his second brother was as high as ninety-nine percent.

“So, I’m meeting Gastella tomorrow. I need to prepare tonight,” Ke Mingye thought while taking off the Blu Owl battle suit.

He folded the suit neatly and stored it in the locker on the platform, closing the door with a “clang”, then shifted and sat down on a public wooden bench next to the locker.

Ke Mingye looked up at the sky and exhaled.

He didn’t know what he was clinging to. If it were a smart person, they would have thought about how to leave Huanjing the moment Gastella appeared, instead of thinking of ways to oppose her.

Am I worried about Bai Ziling? he thought mockingly, or unwilling to have worked so hard on the disguise, for it all to be undone overnight?

Ke Mingye didn’t dwell on his thoughts, but instead pulled out his phone from his pocket and, pretending to play with it, opened the backpack interface.
