Superman Termination Manual - Chapter 437

Chapter 437: Chapter 231 The Sloth Witch Invades the Alliance (1)_3 Chapter 437: Chapter 231 The Sloth Witch Invades the Alliance (1)_3 “No, she’s not to be trifled with, we must avoid her and go after other Magic Girls.” The owl said seriously, “Since your whip can suppress other Magic Girls’ magic power, no matter how strong they are, capturing them would be very simple.”

“Okay, let’s avoid this Xiaohongmao then,” Shi Neian said as he glanced at Xiaohongmao’s photo and turned off his phone.

He paused for a moment and then suddenly asked, “By the way, weren’t we supposed to go to the Magical Girl Alliance?”

The owl was taken aback and cold sweat ran down his forehead, “Uh… I’ve suddenly changed my mind, let’s not go.”

“Why?” Shi Neian said, “Since I can transform into both a Magic Girl and a Witch, I can usually blend in with them using my Magic Girl identity to get their movements, and then once I have enough information, transform into a Witch in front of them and then…” His nosebleed started flowing again, “train them and get their magic power.”

I’d say the spawn point of Mingye suits you better, you seem even more fitted to be a double agent than I do.

As the owl was thinking, he said, “The problem is they might notice something odd about you, and if they find out you are a Witch, then you’re done for!”

He didn’t tell Shi Neian outright that he was a player but instead focused on Shi Neian’s Witch form.

Mingye thought to himself, big sister, can’t you just recognize your own identity? You are a player, after all. The moment a brain imaging helmet is placed on your head, aren’t you done for?

But then again, he thought, Shi Neian might not even know about the existence of “brain imaging helmets” and might still think that the situation for players is quite safe. Those who died were just unlucky, having encountered some temperamental Superhumans.

Shi Neian calmly said, “No worries, as long as I don’t reveal my second Magic Wand and don’t transform in front of them, they should not discover that I’m a Witch.”

Mingye thought about it and felt that it might just work.

If they want to use the brain imaging helmet, we might let Xiaohongmao help cover it up and blur the lines. After all, the head of the Magical Girl Alliance in Huanjing is Xizi Yue, and from her attitude in previous interactions, she seems hardly concerned about such details. She might have even forgotten about this whole business and thrown the helmets to some dessert shop to collect dust.

But if we can’t get through that way, then at the moment they propose using the brain imaging helmet on Shi Neian, we can let Shi Neian witchify right there and then, shifting their attention, which also serves as a good method to break the news.

After all this maneuvering, if they still react and ask Shi Neian, “Why aren’t you wearing the helmet?”

Shi Neian could simply respond, “Because I’m afraid you’ll see my memories of becoming a Witch, so I might as well transform in front of you and share this secret directly rather than having it detected by the helmet.”

Xizi Yue once said that there had been a historical anomaly having both Witch and Magic Girl traits, specifically, an intermediary state between the two. Strikingly, in Xizi Yue’s account, this anomaly was even hailed as “the strongest Magic Girl in human history,” which means she might have even surpassed the founder of the Magic Girls.

Given there is a historical precedent, members of the Magical Girl Alliance may not necessarily reject Shi Neian–of course, Shi Neian looks a bit strange, not really an intermediary entity but someone who can switch freely between a Witch and a Magic Girl. If asked why, Mingye could only attribute it to her player status, perhaps she drew some related items from daily lotteries or picked up some “dual form” skill in the marketplace.

Of course, if the above two methods both fail.

Then Mingye could only let Shi Neian nobly sacrifice herself for the grand undertaking of eradicating the Superhumans, and then let some strange creature play a profoundly moving erhu piece at her funeral.

That is the mentality a Contracted Beast should have; if a contracted Magic Girl dies, quickly switch to another, business first, emotions second.

The owl sighed, “Alright, then first transform into a Magic Girl, you can’t just go around in front of other Magic Girls like this, they would just hit you in the face with a fireball.”

“Oh.”

Upon hearing this, Shi Neian picked up a Magic Wand beside him. As the chrysalis light broke apart, she had changed into that normal Magic Girl attire, her unconventional makeup and deep, zombie-like dark circles had vanished, replaced by an excessively healthy face and fluttering lavender long hair.

The owl took a sharp breath, the Witchified Shi Neian and the Magic Girl Shi Neian looked completely different, no wonder his sister couldn’t recognize that Witch Black Rose was her deceased old friend; the two forms of the same person could be so vastly different.

“Then I’ll go contact Xiaohongmao to befriend you,” the owl said, puffing out his chest proudly, as if knowing Xiaohongmao was a great achievement.

“Okay.”

“Let’s go find Xiaohongmao.”

Shi Neian thought for a moment, then suddenly turned to the side and stared at him curiously, “Kobe, you’re not some kind of stalker, are you? Always watching this Christmas-themed Magic Girl.”

“What stalker? She and I are good friends! Don’t slander my relationship with my friend.”
