Superman Termination Manual - Chapter 432

Chapter 432: Chapter 230: Player, Witch, or Magic Girl?_2 Chapter 432: Chapter 230: Player, Witch, or Magic Girl?_2 “Wait, if Shinai An really is a player, then why hasn’t she joined our local players’ discussion group?”

“Whenever you enter a new city, you can join the city’s local discussion group. I’ve always stayed in Huanjing, so I can’t verify this myself, but Wenhuaren and Ju Zipi have tested it out in Tokyo.”

“But after she arrived in Huanjing, she didn’t join our local discussion group, nor did she try to contact us covertly. Instead, she silently hid in the city.”

“Why is that?”

“Could it be… she’s a player like Gastella, who developed feelings for her rich parents and so, without notifying us, she’s secretly lurking in this city, planning to eliminate us all?”

Thinking this, Owl took a deep breath.

Given the previous example of Gastella, he now knew that not all players were trustworthy.

So he quietly decided to figure out this player’s background and purpose. If she harbored ill intentions like Gastella, intending to eliminate other players, he would first deceive her into the Magical Girl Alliance, then have Xiaohongmao report her to the Magical Girl Alliance to bring her to justice and make a great name for himself.

After all, Shinai An did not seem to hold critical information on Ke Mingye like Cai Bing and Fan Quan; it’s even possible that Shinai An hasn’t yet contacted his side’s players.

Therefore, even if she were caught by the officials, she wouldn’t give away any crucial information harmful to Ke Mingye. If she harbored ill intentions, selling her out early wouldn’t be a bad thing.

But this was all speculation; what if Shinai An had already somehow secretly obtained their players’ information?

So the key question now was…

“Does she even know about our situation?”

“Don’t rush, let’s observe first and see if she knows about our existence.”

Thinking this, Owl activated his invisibility mode, tiptoed cautiously out of the room, toured the large villa, and finally arrived at the kitchen on the first floor.

He glanced at the three people beside the dining table, Shinai An, and her parents.

.co

Her parents were ordinary people; there wasn’t a superhuman panel above their heads, and they both had a dignified aura and wore expensive pajamas, clearly very wealthy.

“Her parents are ordinary people,” Owl sighed in relief, thinking, “That’s good; her family doesn’t have any superhumans, so she won’t turn traitor to save someone close like Gastella did.”

Just then, seeing Shinai An rise from the dining table and saying, “I’m full” to her parents, Owl didn’t linger any longer, to avoid detection. He quickly and cautiously returned to Shinai An’s room.

After finishing breakfast, Shinai An also quickly returned to her own room.

She stood outside the door, holding an ice pop, and expressionlessly glanced at the empty bed.

Then she entered the room, casually closed and locked the door, and said to the empty air, “You can come out now.”

Upon hearing this, Owl deactivated his invisibility mode.

Meanwhile, at the train station, Ke Mingye took out a Level-C item — “Lie Detector Necklace” — from his bag and held it in the palm of his hand.

[The ability of “Lie Detector Necklace”: Press the necklace, and within 10 seconds, confirm whether the other party’s statements are true or false. (Cooldown: 24 hours)]
Ke Mingye had learned this from Strange Thing:
—-One persona could ask questions while another used the Lie Detector Necklace to determine whether the answers were true or false, thus avoiding potential detection of the necklace as the two personas were miles apart.

[The effect of the Lie Detector Necklace has been activated, able to confirm whether a person’s statements are lies within 10 seconds.]
At that moment, Ke Mingye took a deep breath and, using the Contracted Beast, asked her a question: “Do you know the failed Man Fan Quan’s unclear dreams Cai Bing biased Ju Zipi?”

After finishing in one breath, Owl held his chest and took a couple of breaths.

Shinai An tilted her head, lifted her heavily dark-circled eyes, and said without a second thought, “What are you talking about, these names are so abstract they don’t sound like human names, are you treating me like a Martian?”

“So… do you know them or not?”

Owl stared intently at her, speaking rapidly, “These people are the deities of past Magic Girls, especially this one called Fan Quan, the first male Magic Girl in human history, of great significance, celebrated by countless successors. If hearing their names causes you illusions, it indicates your potential as a Magic Girl is very high. So, you really didn’t feel your Magic Girl heart burning passionately upon hearing their names, they didn’t sound familiar at all?”

“Don’t know them,”
Shinai An said, yawning, and added expressionlessly, “What kind of Magic Girl deities would have such names? They sound more like… gods of bizarre subcultures. Especially this unclear dream one, unbeatable.”

[According to the Lie Detector Necklace’s test result, she didn’t lie.]
Owl sighed in relief, thinking she apparently didn’t know the details of other players in the city.

He thought for a moment, and taking advantage of the lingering effect of the Lie Detector Necklace, quickly asked, “Do you have thoughts of harming anyone?”

“What are you talking about?” Shinai An, nibbling on a chocolate cookie, said languidly, “Do all Contracted Beasts ask such nonsensical questions… oh, I get it, you are worried I might use the power of a Magic Girl to harm someone?”
