Superman Termination Manual - Chapter 372

Chapter 372: Chapter 211: Bedlam Asylum Plan_2

“Let’s not talk about that for now,” Che Zhengchen paused, “Blood Clan Hunter, I really didn’t expect remnants of that organization to still exist. So how did you manage to escape from them? Surely the Dice Monster didn’t just let you go?”

Blue Owl shook his head.

“Qing Ya came to my rescue. Then the Dice Monster gave me a hint, revealing the whereabouts of those Blood Clan Hunters.”

He paused for a moment, then shrugged: “I was annoyed, so I headed to the Old Jingmai District and had a fight with those Hunters.”

“Looks like this whole mess was kicked off by that Dice Monster,” Che Zhengchen thought to himself. “I really can’t figure out what it’s thinking, its motive.”

“Maybe it’s just enjoying the chaos…”

“Right,” Che Zhengchen took a deep breath, “I should report to the Association and apply to increase its wanted level, can’t let it continue to run wild.”

“Even Qing Ya can’t catch it slipping, not to mention anyone else.”

“We’ve got to try.”

“That’s also true.”

Speaking of which, the corners of Blue Owl’s mouth curled up slightly behind his mask, thinking that as long as the Dice Monster’s wanted level was upgraded from C to B, one of the main quest branches for Qing Ya would be completed.

At the same time, it wouldn’t be long before Blue Owl would advance from an E-class superhero to a D-class. Just needed to do a few more Association-assigned tasks, accumulate points by the book, and ascending would only be a matter of time. He aimed to climb to A-class within the year and join the Round Table Council.

Thus, the main quests concerning “Qing Ya” were making steady progress.

“Those Blood Clan Hunters you mentioned, do they look like this?”

As he spoke, Che Zhengchen pushed a file across the table to Blue Owl.

Blue Owl glanced down and saw the portraits of the Blood Clan Hunters in the file, which also included Gastella, who had been charred to cinders by Magical Girl Xiaohongmao’s fireball.

He sucked in a cool breath, thinking he’d rather not look too closely. If he did, it would send shivers down his spine; perhaps this woman would come to claim his life in his dreams tonight…

Especially since Gastella might be the most oppressive opponent he had encountered so far, other people didn’t have the player’s perspective, so they could play around with a god-level view, but Gastella was different: as a player, they were both aware of each other’s weaknesses.

“Yeah… those are the ones I saw.”

Blue Owl nodded, “When I got there, I also ran into Black Wukong, Magical Girl Ash, and Magical Girl Xiaohongmao. It was those comrades who helped me defeat them… It was a fierce battle, and just after it ended, the nuclear bomb exploded above Huanjing’s sky, and then we all went our separate ways.”

Hearing this, Che Zhengchen said sentimentally, “You were lucky. If you had gone there alone, you might not have stood a chance against those Blood Clan Hunters.”

What he meant was “You’re being too reckless, if you didn’t have help, were you planning to take on all those Blood Clan Hunters alone?”

“Please, I’m not that reckless. I only took action after assessing the situation.”

Blue Owl defended himself.

“Anyway… as long as the result is good, that’s what matters. Not just the Blood Clan Hunters, but this Parasite incident seems to be drawing to a close too. Once the Association finishes its investigation, the higher-ups should grant you a certain amount of bonus points for your contribution,” Che Zhengchen said while adjusting his glasses on the bridge of his nose. “But our President is really suffering, he must undergo observation and protection for a whole month… Officials want to clarify what the Blood Clan Hunters did after using a Parasite to control him, it’s made everyone in the Huanjing branch anxious.”

“Things should calm down after a few days… although President Li Qingyao’s chances of retaining his position are slim, given the severity of the public outcry over the nuclear bomb. No one’s going to support someone who sent a nuclear bomb towards their own city to continue serving as president of the Superhero Association…”

Blue Owl commented nonchalantly.

He scrolled through his phone in bed last night and saw almost every forum vilifying Li Qingyao for his actions, although the authorities had explained that he was controlled by a Parasite.

But few were willing to listen to these explanations; they wanted to vent their frustrations.

In today’s internet climate, no matter how respected Li Qingyao used to be or how much he contributed to various fields, he’s essentially as good as dead now, let alone being able to reclaim the presidency of the Association.

“This topic is too sensitive, not suitable for our discussion,” Che Zhengchen changed the subject, “Bai Yi and the others are dining on the 15th floor, you should go find them, they are pretty concerned about you.”

“I don’t need to undergo additional investigation, make a statement or something?” Blue Owl asked.

“No need, I’ll take care of those things for you.”

“Okay, then thank you, Commander Che.”

With that, Blue Owl paused for a moment, then glanced sideways at him.

“Also, have you really not considered severing ties with me? Last time you were kidnapped, this time it was my turn… It’s pretty clear, getting too close to me won’t end well.”

“Not considering it.”

Che Zhengchen replied calmly, with his hands clasped in front of his chest, “But if we turned back time, say ten years ago, then I might have thought about it.”

“Why?”

“Back then, my wife hadn’t died from an illness, and my son was still alive, not dismembered by the Timekeeper.” Che Zhengchen smiled, “My principle was to never involve my family, but now that I have no family left, what’s there to worry about being alone?”
