Superman Termination Manual - Chapter 444

Chapter 444: Chapter 234 Dice Monster: Miss Ash, If I Were Ke Mingye_2 Chapter 444: Chapter 234 Dice Monster: Miss Ash, If I Were Ke Mingye_2 The entire carriage was shaking violently.

The strange thing opened its mouth wide, restoring Ke Mingye’s face to its original state as it spoke in a lowered, gloomy tone, “Are you really crazy, woman? Can’t you be even a little rational?”

Ash slowly raised her eyes from beneath her hair, asking almost word by word:
“You dare?”

“Dare not, dare not…”

As it spoke, the strange thing raised its arms in surrender, sighed, and said, “Who else would dare to imitate your beloved blue owl brother? I haven’t even finished talking, and you nearly sent me to the Western Paradise. Is this the terror of an overprotective sister?”

“I’m in a foul mood right now, you’d better quickly explain why you’re looking for me… Otherwise, I might not be able to resist decapitating you with one stroke.”

Ash lowered her umbrella, pulling out Cinderella from the base of the umbrella’s handle while speaking coldly.

The strange thing dropped its arms and sat back inside the carriage, with its elbows propped against the backs of the seats on either side.

“You really won’t look at the ground?” it asked faintly.

Hearing this, Ash cast her eyes toward the floor of the carriage.

Between the two rows of candles, there was a line of large characters written with crayons: “HappyBirthday, Huanjing’s most adorable goth dress miss,” and below that were two hearts in different colors, one blue and one red.

She said, “Today is not my birthday.”

The strange thing was nonchalant: “Right, your birthday is on August 15th, but isn’t this me celebrating your birthday in advance?”

“What’s the point of celebrating a birthday in advance?” Ash mocked.

“As if you would want to see me on your actual birthday, it would affect your mood, wouldn’t it?” The strange thing shrugged, “Knowing full well that I’m not pleasant, I decided to celebrate half a month early for you.”

“You do have some self-awareness.” Ash paused, “But don’t think that we’re friends just because of this; I haven’t forgotten the bad things you’ve done.”

“Can’t my good deeds make up for the wrongs?”

“Then you have to ensure you won’t do bad things in the future.”

“Isn’t there a possibility that I am actually a spy?”

“A spy?”

“Yes, in order to blend into the villain alliance created by the Timekeeper, I’ve been straining against my very nature, pretending to be an evildoer. But in truth, I’m a good person, kinder than anyone,” the strange thing said, covering its face and weeping, “So in the process of being forced to do those bad things, my heart is actually filled with more guilt and pain than anyone else’s–damn near breaking into a river of sorrow.”

“Do you think I would believe that?” the goth dress girl asked with a cold laugh.

After spending so much time together, she had somewhat figured out this strange thing:
When you think it is lying, it actually might not be; when you think it is not lying, that’s when it could be truly deceiving you.

Upon hearing this, the strange thing quickly regained its composure.

Feeling rather bored, it shrugged its shoulders and leaned back on the sofa, saying unconcernedly, “Time will prove everything. Believe it or not, it’s up to you.”

“I’m leaving… I won’t chop off your head today.” Ash paused, her voice lowering, still carrying an aggressive tone, “But I’m warning you, don’t ever take his form again.”

After saying this, she turned and walked away, her figure slowly vanishing within the carriage.

“Oh, such an impatient girl.”

The strange thing watched her receding back, shaking its head, then slowly pulled out a birthday cake from behind and began to enjoy it by itself.

Outside the carriage, Ash stood on the empty platform, glancing sidelong at the brightly lit carriage. The momentary palpitations from seeing Dice Monster revert his face were still there.

She closed her eyes; her heart was beating fast, and the shock of that moment lingered.

After a while, she took a deep breath, cursed the strange thing inwardly a couple of times, then slowly opened her eyes, raised her umbrella, and shot off into the sky.

It didn’t take long for Ash to return to Yandai Elementary School.

As always, she landed on the roof, then walked into the classroom, only to see that the newcomer and her owl had already left, presumably gone home.

Only one person was left in the classroom, a golden-haired girl wearing a Christmas-style dress. At that moment, Xiaohongmao was unabashedly playing with the brain-imaging helmet’s functions.

Ash sighed, hands on her forehead, “You…”

Upon hearing her voice, Xiaohongmao quickly took off the brain imaging helmet and said without expression, “Senior, I was just testing if the helmet had any problems.”

“I knew it, how could you be so eager to introduce the newbies to the brain imaging helmet when you just wanted to play with it yourself.”

“No, I didn’t, I’m not.”

Xiaohongmao said, gently shaking her head, her pale golden locks swaying.

“Still not admitting it.”

Xiaohongmao looked up, her innocent blue eyes staring at her, “You can tell just by looking…”

“There you go again!”

Bowing her head, Xiaohongmao corrected herself, “I’m sorry, Senior, I got carried away with playing.”

“Let it go, so did the results of her brain imaging test come out?”

“Yes, the usage records and generated photos are all in the helmet’s folder, you can open it and take a look,” Xiaohongmao said, passing the helmet to Ash.

Ash took the helmet and, with a slight frown and downcast eyes, looked at the screen on the back of the helmet for a while.

She was familiar with the operation steps of the helmet, quickly checked the usage records, the facial photos taken by the built-in camera of Shi Neian, and her brain imaging scans, then turned off the helmet’s power.

After checking, she let out a sigh of relief, placed the helmet on the table, took out her phone from her pocket, and sent a message to Xizi Yue.

[I’m not Ash: Master, the newbie’s brain imaging test passed, no issues.]
[Xizi Yue: That’s good, I’m going to sleep, good night.]
[I’m not Ash: But it’s morning now!]
[Xizi Yue: Sleeping, please leave a message (auto-reply)]
The goth-dress girl sighed, shifting her gaze away from the screen. Thinking about the recent transformation of the Dice Monster into Ke Mingye’s appearance, she still felt concerned and even slightly uneasy.

So she opened WeChat, lifted her trembling fingers, and sent a message to Ke Mingye.

[Bai Zini: Are you alright?]
[Ke Mingye: Sick or something? Do you curse me to die just because I’m going for a morning run?]
[Bai Zini: Get lost, wasn’t I just worried you were caught by the Dice Monster?]
[Ke Mingye: You should worry about yourself first.]
[Bai Zini: Bro, did you have breakfast yet?]
[Ke Mingye: Not yet.]
[Bai Zini: Then wait for me to come back home, don’t sneak off and eat on your own.]
After sending the message, Magical Girl Ash felt a little better and turned her head to look at the pitiful Xiaohongmao sitting beside her.

After a moment, she sighed, “Can you not look like that? I didn’t mean to be harsh on you.”

“Then if you treat me to dessert, I’ll forgive you,” Xiaohongmao said in a low voice.

“I’ll treat you this afternoon, I’m busy this morning.”

“Really?”

“Yes.”

“Okay, then I forgive you.”
