Superman Termination Manual - Chapter 355

Chapter 355: Chapter 206: Major Event Two: Blood Clan Hunter (Ten)

July 21, 3:28 PM, corner of Old Jingmai District.

Magical Girl Ash stared blankly through the glass display window, watching the battle unfold in that clothing store from a distance. But no matter how she looked from left to right, she couldn’t comprehend the scene. Inside the store, the scene was too chaotic, with puppets, Sisteruo, Dice Monster, and Ke Mingye mixed together in a wild dance of demons.

But finally, just when she thought that the damn strange thing had grown a conscience, helping her brother win against Sisteruo, Sisteruo suddenly walked out on the street, raised her pistol at Ke Mingye, who was carrying Bai Ziling out of the clothing store, aiming at the side of his head.

At such close range, even if Ke Mingye’s skull were harder, the bullet would still be enough to penetrate his head. Moreover, he had already used his superpower to switch positions and save Bai Ziling, and he couldn’t use it again so soon…

It’s all over, all over, Brother is going to die–!

No, at this rate, Zi Ling will be done for too!

“What to do… what to do what to do what to do…”

Ash whispered softly, her pupils constricted, intently watching the unfolding scene.

Her scalp tingled, every cell in her body seemed to be screaming, and it felt like millions of tiny people were kick-kicking and tap-tapping along her veins, making her feel almost as if her spirit was about to leave her body.

She leaned against a supermarket’s glass wall, trembling as she lifted her charred right hand. Tears nearly fell from her eyes, but her body was frozen, only her left hand could move.

Ash, her eyes reddened, bit her lip and furiously hammered her own legs. She stared fixedly at the floor, not even daring to keep looking up. Finally, this proud girl bit her lips, hung her head, her eyes hidden by her bangs, and tears squeezed from her eyes, running down her face marked with a line or two of blood, and plopped onto the skirt spread on the ground.

“I… did nothing…”

After a long while, she lifted her head, only to find that the situation had not developed as she had thought…

Just then, a graceful figure in a Christmas dress appeared in mid-air.

“That is…”

The goth-dressed girl stood frozen in her tracks.

She watched quietly as Xiaohongmao first froze Sisteruo’s gun muzzle with snowflakes, then threw a fireball at the immobile Sisteruo, and flew towards Ash without even looking back to check Sisteruo’s demise.

Ash was shocked for a long time, swallowed, and glanced at the slowly approaching Xiaohongmao, then back at the figure of Mingye.

He trembled as he carried Bai Ziling toward the end of the street, apparently wanting to get her as far away from there as possible…

They survived.

Brother and Zi Ling both survived…

Ash watched the retreating figure of Mingye, lost in thought.

“Senior, I saved your brother’s life, remember?” Xiaohongmao said, “Can you be less cold to me now, maybe like not ignoring my messages for a week, it would be great if things like that happened less often…”

With that, she landed in front of Ash, her snow-packed body dispersing layers of snowflakes.

Xiaohongmao approached Ash and leaned over.

“Are you okay?”

After saying this, Xiaohongmao paused slightly, lifted her gaze briefly to Ash’s reddened eyes, then lowered it to Ash’s right arm, which was almost nothing but bone from being burned, then softly said.

“Senior… why are your eyes so red? I get it now, you’re a crybaby, aren’t you?” she lifted her hand and gently caressed Ash’s cheek.

Hearing her words, Ash took a moment to react, avoided her gaze, and asked in a slightly hoarse voice.

“How… did you come here?”

“The strange thing said you needed me.” Xiaohongmao spoke calmly, “It also wanted me to give you this.”

She then pulled out the Rebirth Medical Bottle she had used on Ash previously in Wanxiang City from her skirt.

On hearing this, Magical Girl Ash stared at the bottle, hesitated for a half second.

Truth be told, she didn’t want to use the strange thing’s stuff, but seeing the primary school students getting beaten up, she decisively lifted her still-functional left hand, took the bottle offered by Xiaohongmao, and gulped the contents down her throat, then wiped her mouth with her hand.

As the Resurrection Medical Liquid went down, her injuries eased. Although not fully healed, even her charred black right arm developed a new layer of skin, which was quite magical.

“You lied to me last time, saying it was your grandmother’s magic tool.”

“My grandmother is the strange thing.”

“You’re unbeatable!”

Ash said grumpily, shifting her position from the ground as she got up, taking hold of the magic umbrella again. The usually weightless umbrella now felt heavy in her hand.

“My magic power…”

As she was about to ask Xiaohongmao for a couple of “Magic Power Supplements”, Xiaohongmao had already dug out all her stock from the Magic Book, holding them in her palms, and sweetly offered them to Ash.

“I told you to keep a few extra cards on hand, now you regret it, don’t you?”

Xiaohongmao lifted her eyes from her golden bangs, staring fixedly at Ash.

Ash was taken aback and was about to say “What are you, a worm in my gut?”, but Xiaohongmao spoke first: “Why won’t Senior accept my cards, I get it now. Senior must think that us girls brought up in filth have dirty magic cards too, sure…”

Magical Girl Ash, upon hearing these words that could usually infuriate her to the point of vomiting blood, didn’t know why, but she really wanted… really wanted to cry.
