Superman Termination Manual - Chapter 535

Chapter 535: Chapter 263: Assembly_2 Chapter 535: Chapter 263: Assembly_2 Thinking this, she silently grieved for the guy downstairs for a second and then walked into the bathroom and shut the door.

The world was utterly peaceful.

Shi Neian stared blankly into the mirror for a while before sitting on the toilet, head hanging low, and softly called out,
“Kobe.”

As her words fell, the owl quickly appeared, flapping its wings and landing on Shi Neian’s thigh, lifting its head and whispering, “What’s wrong, Shi Neian? We’re still in someone else’s house, didn’t we agree not to show ourselves?”

“Kobe, don’t you find the people in this house a bit strange?” Shi Neian tentatively asked.

“Not really, but there sure are a lot of people in this house,” the owl replied.

“Oh…”

Shi Neian listlessly agreed and thought to herself that she’d better keep her distance from Senior Ash and her family in the future–this place was essentially a gathering spot for world bosses.

Just then she thought about the only normal person in Senior Ash’s family and lowered her head to ask Kobe, “Do you think that Ke Mingye is strange?”

“Do you mean Senior Ash’s brother?” The owl cocked its head.

“Yeah…”

Shi Neian nodded, thinking to herself that the sole normal person amidst a bunch of demons and ghouls somehow seemed even more abnormal, which was unsettling.

“He…”

“He?”

“He just seems like someone who’s asking for a beating…” Kobe said indignantly, lifting its wings to cover its face and wailing, “Absolutely doesn’t deserve his place. I also want to be Senior Ash’s brother. In my next life, I want to reincarnate as Ke Mingye.”

“Forget it… just scram.”

Shi Neian sighed lightly, thinking to herself that this Contracted Beast was truly unreliable, unable to detect all the monsters around–it was of no use to her.

For someone like her, a flatfish who wouldn’t carelessly expose their player identity nor would they likely know any other players, it’s like having grievances you can’t express, akin to the discomfort of constipation.

“Shi Neian, am I good to scram now?” the owl asked pitifully.

“Wait… Kobe, don’t leave just yet.”

“What else do you want?”

Shi Neian took a deep breath, “If I die….”

Kobe hastily interrupted her, “Why are you suddenly giving your last testament? Don’t say such ominous things. Be more optimistic, infiltrating the Witch Church isn’t that dangerous.”

“If I die…” Shi Neian proceeded, then suddenly changed her tone, “If I die, can you not become Red Hat’s lapdog, alright? Men should have some dignity.”

“Red Hat is a Comet Species Witch, I can’t possibly make a contract with her. It doesn’t benefit my performance,” the owl solemnly said.

“Oh.”

Shi Neian pursed her lips, thinking that if she were to die in this house, this Contracted Beast would immediately become another magical girl’s lapdog. How would that differ from Lu Mingfei in “Dragon Clan” immediately fawning over Nuonuo after Hui Liyi’s death?

As she was thinking this, the owl suddenly lifted its wing as if to elbow someone and snorted, “What I mean is exactly because of that, my feelings for her are so pure, without the slightest bit of self-interest! So whether or not you die, Shi Neian, no matter how miserably, I’d still be her lapdog.”

“Just scram.”

Shi Neian’s face darkened; she really wanted to push this owl into the toilet and flush it down.

“Then I’m rolling out! We’re finally cohabitating, can’t you strive for a chance to share a bed with Red Hat? I’d like to join your whispering sessions in the middle of the night.”

Shi Neian silently stood up, picked up Kobe, turned around, and fiercely attempted to shove its head into the toilet.

Fortunately for Kobe, it had anticipated this and dissolved into a shimmer of light, leaving Shi Neian’s attempt to dunk its head in the toilet woefully unfulfilled.

After a while, she lifted her head and looked in the mirror, letting out a breath and massaging her dark circles.

“To actually live in this house takes a divine being, it’s like playing a murder mystery game,” she thought to herself, “Senior Ash doesn’t seem to know that her family are all sorts of demons and ghouls. But it’s not like I have a reason to bring it up; after all, doing so would reveal my player identity. I have to ensure I’m not discovered, survive until the very last day, eat a meal at KFC, and then die in the warmth of my small blanket.”

Mulling over these thoughts, Shi Neian stood up and walked out of the bathroom back to Bai Zini’s room. Ke Mingye had already left.

With nothing else to do, she, Bai Zini, and You Minglu played Monopoly.

By the time they finished a game, it was almost midnight. Shi Neian and You Minglu had both taken baths before coming over, so one of them stayed in Ke Yinzhi’s bedroom, and the other in Ke Xiaomo’s bedroom.

Then, they fell asleep headfirst, sleeping like logs.

Through Kobe’s eyes, Ke Mingye observed the situation in the next room; seeing that the lazy Shi Neian had already fallen asleep without any tricks up her sleeve, he didn’t bother with her anymore.

He set an alarm in his system, planning to get up in the middle of the night to deal with the Deception Puppet.

At 4 a.m., prompted by his system’s reminder, he opened his eyes on time and controlled You Minglu to get out of bed and walk over to the window.

Immediately afterward, You Minglu released another Doll silently, taking her place, wearing her pajamas as well as the Human Skin Mask.

Then, she let the original Doll, which was almost at its existence limit and about to explode, slip out from the windowsill and disappear into the dark streets with the breeze, gradually heading away through the crevices between rooftops and alleys, before silently detonating in an unknown corner.

The first Doll thus vanished into the night with an eerie chuckle.
