Superman Termination Manual

Chapter 327: Chapter 197: Major Event II: Blood Clan Hunter (Part 1)

July 21st, the 15th floor of the Alliance building.

The gothic-dressed girl stood against the wall, arms crossed, as her slender index finger gently tapped her arm.

She furrowed her brows in thought for a moment before asking coolly, “That strange thing, what else did it say?”

“That’s all it said.” Xiao Hongmao paused, then spoke softly, “Actually, I didn’t want to bring this up since what the strange thing says isn’t reliable, but you’re living in the Old Jingmai District, and it just so happens that you have an albino sister at home.”

As she spoke, she lifted her head to glance at Ash’s face with her peripheral vision before continuing.

“So I thought, maybe what it was talking about is related to you. If I’m being too nosy, I apologize in advance, and I hope you won’t be mad at me.”

“I understand, be careful on your way back,” Ash said, while looking down and pondering absently. The grey ribbon tied on top of her head swayed, brushing against her delicate shoulders.

“Okay, I’ll head back now.”

After speaking, Xiao Hongmao nodded her head, turned around, and entered the Alliance’s dedicated elevator.

She swiped her ID card on the elevator’s control panel and took it down to the ground floor.

Watching this scene from Xiao Hongmao’s perspective, Ke Mingye breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself, “Surely, my older and younger sisters combined can keep Zi Ling from wandering off, right?”

After this, having reported some key matters to Magical Girl Ash and reminding her to be careful, Xiao Hongmao parted ways with Ash.

She then undid her transformation near the Alliance building to avoid drawing attention.

Before long, Ke Mingye made You Minglu self-destruct in an unnoticed corner. He quickly recovered the doll, while also reducing the cooldown time needed to deploy the doll again.

Afterwards, he stayed at home playing games with Bai Ziling and Ke Yongzhu, ensuring that Bai Ziling wouldn’t run around, lest she expose herself to the Blood Clan Hunters during such a crucial time.

Because of the threats made in the open by Gastella, Bai Ziling had also been hiding at home these days, not venturing outside. Just yesterday, she suddenly proposed going on a trip, but her goal was to temporarily leave the city.

Aside from time spent at home, she would only go for walks downstairs with Yongzhu, or to the downstairs supermarket to buy some drinks.

With the abilities of an elementary school student, if anyone were observing them, he would definitely notice in an instant. Thus, when he and Bai Ziling took walks, the two were absolutely safe.

As for Bai Ziling herself going down to the supermarket to buy drinks, that was also safe — because within a hundred meters of this duplex apartment building in the Old Jingmai District, it was simply impossible for any parasites to exist. His older and second brothers stayed at home; with their monstrous strength, they could easily detect someone nearby being controlled by parasites and could completely remove the parasites from their bodies without harming the person.

It was even possible that before the parasitized people could react, the parasites inside their organs would have already been crushed.

So undoubtedly, Gastella had no reason to know Bai Ziling’s location.

Unless she used that “Prophecy Book.”

But Ke Mingye was still not sure whether the prophecy book mentioned by Gastella really existed, after all, it was just her one-sided claim.

Time passed quickly, and it was now noon.

The living room of Bai Ke’s home.

Seeing his second brother was still at home, Ke Mingye walked to the entrance, took his sneakers from the shoe cabinet, put them on, and was about to leave home. Bai Qiuwu, who was reading a book at the table, suddenly spoke up, stopping him.

“Hold on a second.”

“What’s up?” Ke Mingye turned to look at her.

“It’s so hot today, why not stay in?” Bai Qiuwu said, pressing her finger against the middle of the page. She paused for a moment, then continued, “Be careful of heatstroke.”

“It’s fine, I’ll catch a cab and meet with friends,” Ke Mingye sighed, “There’s air conditioning in the car and his room; I won’t get heatstroke, don’t worry so much.”

“Hmm…” Bai Qiuwu said, “Next year is the second year of high school, and studies are intense. Let me help you preview the junior year curriculum in advance, and don’t go out these next few days.”

“What’s with you suddenly getting all paranoid, sis?”

Ke Mingye said while turning the knob, opening the door, “We’ve had this weather for days, if I was going to suffer heatstroke, it would have happened already. Or do you think I’m going to a cybercafe to play? I haven’t been to one since junior high.”

“Still no.” Bai Qiuwu shook her head, still insistent, “With that time, wouldn’t it be nice to spend time with your brother and sister? Don’t you agree, Yongzhu, Xiao Ling?”

“Let him leave already,” Ke Yongzhu clicked her tongue, “He’s so bad he might as well be playing with a handful of rice on the controller–chickens would play better than him.”

Bai Ziling said nothing, merely glancing at Ke Mingye from the corner of her eye through her pale tresses.

“Hear that? Almost two months of summer vacation, and I’m tired of sticking around the house every day. When can I not play with them?” Ke Mingye complained, rolling his eyes at Bai Qiuwu, “Tell me the truth, sis, is it because I and second bro came home too late once and ticked off mom, then she grounded me and secretly persuaded you to keep an eye on me?”

Bai Qiuwu was taken aback for a moment. She meant to deny it, but after a second’s thought, she decided to play along, “Alright. Indeed, mom asked me to watch you, and I can’t do much about that.”

Mom, referring to the Dice Monster, Ke Mingye mocked Bai Qiuwu in his mind.

At that moment, Ke Xiaomo was in the kitchen cutting vegetables, and upon hearing their conversation, the hand pressing on the cutting board hesitated momentarily.
