Superman Termination Manual - Chapter 486

Chapter 486: Chapter 248: Everyone Come Stay at My House, The Witch’s Face_2 Chapter 486: Chapter 248: Everyone Come Stay at My House, The Witch’s Face_2 Shi Neian slightly raised her eyebrows and thought to herself, this was the time to really show off her acting skills and truly embody the essence of a double agent.

She pondered for a moment and asked, “I’m curious, what does that witch look like exactly?”

Upon hearing this, Red Hat pulled out a folded piece of drawing paper from the pocket of her Christmas dress and slowly unfolded it.

“She looks like this,” she said.

The other two people and one beast simultaneously turned their heads to look at the drawing paper in Red Hat’s hand, which depicted a girl wearing a beret and a dark purple long dress, holding a whip-shaped magic wand. There was a splash-like mark drawn upward at the corner of her eye, and her complexion was pale as paper.

Magical Girl Ash looked at the figure on the paper, frowned slightly, and seemed half-doubtful.

The foreheads of the other two streamed with cold sweat. Kobe and Shi Neian silently exchanged glances; Kobe’s eyes seemed to say, “Don’t panic, Shi Neian, if we expose ourselves now, we’re done for.”

Shi Neian’s lazy eyes seemed to say, “No worries, if worst comes to worst, I’ll die and show them.”

Ash fell silent for a moment, lowered her little face, and took a deep breath, “Then let’s do that, I’ll have my masters take a look later and see if they recognize the witch from your drawing.”

“Is it possible that this witch has only recently appeared and her strength isn’t that strong?” Red Hat said.

“Indeed, since she let you escape, she definitely isn’t a tough character.”

“Of course, it’s also possible that she let me escape on purpose. I’ve thought it back a little; with the speed she displayed at that time, she could have easily caught up with me, but for some reason, she suddenly stopped. Otherwise, I might not even be here now.”

Upon hearing this, the girl in the gothic dress lowered her head, her eyes moved slightly. She suddenly raised her finger and pointed at Red Hat’s nose, “Why don’t you come stay at my house for the next while, that way I can protect you.”

“…Senior, are you serious?” Red Hat was taken aback.

“It’s no big deal, it’s safer this way, or you could come with me and my grandmaster to New York for a stroll. Anyway, don’t wander around the city alone anymore, if the same thing happens again, no one can guarantee your safety…”

The gothic dress girl crossed her arms, trying to sound calm, but her words conveyed her anxiety and unease.

“I’ll see how it goes. If necessary, I might stay at your house for a while,” Red Hat said softly, thinking that if she really needed to stay at Bai Ke’s home under the identity of You Minglu, the main issue would be how to avoid big sister’s Eyes of Golden Flame.

Relying on luck alone wouldn’t work; once Qiuwu activated the Eyes of Golden Flame at home, her identity could easily be exposed.

Like before, wearing a human face mask and covering herself up tightly with high-collared clothing and long sleeves was only a temporary solution, and wearing such heavy clothes in summer could also arouse suspicion–even with Ke Yinzhi at home who also liked to dress oddly out of season, she couldn’t explain why she dressed this way, it would be too hard to explain to her parents, she couldn’t just tell them she was a Magical Girl with Snow Attribute Magic who felt cold more easily…

“Right… If I wrap a layer of artificial skin on my skin and then wear a human face mask, it would prevent the Eyes of Golden Flame from penetrating the appearance of the Deception Puppet,” Red Hat suddenly thought, “but can Fan Quan’s connections get someone to do this, it shouldn’t be too hard for him.”

As she was thinking, Kobe suddenly burst out excitedly from Shi Neian’s arms, “Ash, our Shi Neian also said she wants to stay at your house, why not bring her along? Our poor and pitiful Shi Neian also needs the care of Ash, it would be so sad if a witch targeted her.”

“Ha…” Shi Neian’s face fell immediately, and she looked down at Kobe, “Can you not bring drama so suddenly? Isn’t my mansion good enough, why should I go and cram in with someone else?”

Magical Girl Ash thought for a moment, nodded gently, and said to Kobe, “It’s not out of the question, but…”

Kobe interrupted her, suggesting, “No worries, even if Ash’s home doesn’t have a spare room, our Shi Neian can sleep on the sofa.”

Shi Neian was silent for two seconds, then morosely declared, “Just so you know, I absolutely refuse to sleep on a sofa.”

“What’s wrong with sleeping on a sofa?” Red Hat said gloomily, “You might never understand what it’s like to sleep on a public bench on the streets. It seems little girls who eat from trash cans and those who grow up with a silver spoon can’t live under the same roof, even the sofa is too much to handle… what a decline in social morals.”

“Then you sleep on the sofa,” Shi Neian turned to look at her.

“Alright,” Red Hat said softly, “that’s what kids from poor families deserve.”

“Could you guys stop being so dramatic?” Ash sighed with a hand on her forehead, “My older brothers already went back to college a few days ago. Their rooms are free, just enough for the two of you, you don’t need to sleep on the sofa!”

She paused, then shifted her tone, “But…”

“But what?”

The owl tilted its head, its clear eyes staring at her.

Ash stared back at the owl, which seemed not too bright, and enunciated each word seriously: “First of all, while you’re at my house, you absolutely must not reveal yourself; otherwise, if my family discovers you, it will cause trouble, understood?”
