Superman Termination Manual - Chapter 431

Chapter 431: Chapter 230: Player, Witch, or Magic Girl? Chapter 431: Chapter 230: Player, Witch, or Magic Girl? Wine Reflecting Coast, a villa near the resort, the second-floor room.

“No way, she’s actually a player?”

The owl was stunned, its heart engulfed by a storm of shock.

It tilted its head, its beak and eyes fixed intently on the girl’s figure ahead. Only after watching Shi Neian’s silhouette disappear did a hint of light begin to flicker in those dull green eyes.

Immediately, the owl dejectedly lowered its head, its beak and wings drooping onto the soft bed.

Meanwhile, sitting on platform number 7 in the abandoned train station of Old Jingmai District, Ke Mingye suddenly opened his eyes, awakening from the public wooden bench.

“Hold on, how did my Contracted Beast end up with a player, am I deceiving someone or is she deceiving me, am I being trapped?”

Ke Mingye muttered, staring blankly at the rusty rails ahead.

He bent slightly, his hands crossed under his jaw, sweat beading on his forehead.

He thought, “My judgment can’t be wrong. Playing the piano can’t possibly involve those gestures; that was clearly like operating a player panel, which I do everyday. How could I have mistaken… Should I go and meet her now, send a friend request to determine if she is a player?”

No…

That’s too risky. I still don’t know enough about her background and the reason she’s hiding her identity. I need to observe her more, letting my real self approach her would be a mistake.

Thinking this, Ke Mingye closed his eyes, continuing to focus through the perspective of Contracted Beast Kobe.

The cheek felt a chill, the early morning sea breeze softly fluttered the curtains. The owl could hear the sound of waves from a corner of the beach. Drawing in a breath, the salty, humid breeze filled its nostrils–a beautiful aspect of living by the sea.

It must be nice to have money…

Why was my spawn point in such a chaotic environment, full of constant treacheries, always fearing sudden death, and having to squeeze with eight people in a house during summer? Why weren’t my parents openly wealthy? Why couldn’t I be the only child living in a big seaside villa?

The owl quietly sighed to itself.

Then, getting up from the bed and taking advantage of Shi Neian’s absence, it wanted to search the room for any clues. So, it fluttered its wings and flew onto the bedside table, prying open the drawer with its beak.

Aside from a girl’s manga, a roll of pull-out tissues, and a tablet, there was nothing else of note in the drawer.

It silently closed the drawer and then glanced at the wardrobe, under the bed, the balcony, and the toilet, scanning every corner. In the end, nothing out of the ordinary or particular to a player was found.

The owl shook its head with a sigh.

Good thing Contracted Beasts don’t shed, otherwise its feathers would be scattered everywhere.

It stood on the balcony railing, looking at the nearby beach with the bright sunshine streaming in.

“How unlucky do I have to be to contract with a player. She’s probably already thinking about how to get rid of me, right? But Contracted Beasts aren’t Superhumans, killing me would bring her no benefit…”

“Hold on, speaking of which, my plan to get her to join the Magical Girl Alliance seems to be going down the drain too. As soon as Xizi Yue brings out the brain imaging helmet, isn’t Shinai An doomed?”

With this thought, a cold sweat broke out on the owl’s head.

Originally, it had planned on Shinai An transforming into a Magic Girl, then taking her to meet Xiaohongmao and having Xiaohongmao lead her to join the Magical Girl Alliance–all these plans were based on the assumption that Shinai An was a normal human.

Now, thinking about it, if that were to happen, it would be doomed.

If Ke Mingye had not discovered she was a player and had lured her to Xiaohongmao, and then had her join the Magical Girl Alliance, her identity would be exposed under the routine brain imaging helmet inspection. Following that, as the introducer, Xiaohongmao would also be suspected by the top three leaders of the Alliance.

Afterward, if Xizi Yue suddenly found time, she could use some method to intensely observe Xiaohongmao and discover that Xiaohongmao was actually played by Ke Mingye using a Deception Puppet, hence passing the brain imaging helmet’s inspection.

It would harm others as well as itself…

“Damn it… Why did I choose her, deceived by the system’s identification of her ‘S-class potential’, I thought I had gotten an SSR–she’s a player, her potential as a Magic Girl is definitely S-level! After all, just leveling up her Spiritual Attribute daily for a year could bring it close to five hundred, how could it not be S-class?”

The owl pecked at the balcony railing with its beak, profoundly aggrieved.

Just then, it suddenly recalled how her personality was like a lazy dog’s, speaking listlessly as if she would die on the street the next second, and yet she was running and doing sit-ups on the beach early in the morning, truly disable yet determined!

However…

It turns out she wasn’t disabled but determined, but rather… she was damn doing daily tasks!

And she’s also an ultimate lazy dog–after running the daily task one and task two of a hundred sit-ups, she barely did less than 5 before just collapsing on the ground!

The owl had a moment of clarity, profoundly reflecting.

Suddenly, its expression became stern.
