Superman Termination Manual-Chapter 443 - 234 Dice Monster: Miss Ash, If I Were Ke Mingye

Magic Girl Ash chased after the Dice Monster in the skies above Huanjing city.

The two, one after another, one swaying with spider silk threading between skyscrapers and alleys, the other sitting tightly on an umbrella right behind it.

The scene was something akin to a cat chasing a mouse that made onlookers chuckle as numerous pedestrians looked up and started snapping photos with their phones.

The more flashes lit up from the street, the more irritated the girl in the Gothic dress became. She thought she must have been played by this strange thing. Had it not helped her last time, she would not have bothered with it at all—such bizarre oddities should just go die wherever!

Although she wished she could catch up to this strange thing right now and slash it under her horse, the problem was that the Dice Monster now had a new appendage: a pair of Mechanical Spider Legs sprouting from its back, helping it navigate and climb high buildings much faster than before—a qualitative leap in speed.

If Ash wanted to catch up, she would definitely need to vastly increase her speed.

Doing so would inevitably disturb pedestrians along the way— perhaps shattering the glass curtain wall of a nearby skyscraper as she flew by, causing a downpour of glass, or a ripple of magic power could knock over a high-altitude working platform and lead to workers falling to their deaths.

Her reputation was already bad enough; adding such destruction to her bill could be more than she could afford, leading to another round of disciplinarian meetings with her three masters.

Thus, the girl in the Gothic dress simply slowed her pace, sitting on Cinderella’s umbrella like a little witch in an animation, and quietly followed behind the Dice Monster.

Soon, the Dice Monster landed in a forbidden corner of the deserted zone of the city.

Seeing this, Magic Girl Ash drew in Cinderella’s umbrella, her slender figure gently descending. Her skirt fluttered down, hanging over her pale knees, no longer swinging with the air currents above.

Looking up, all she saw ahead was an abandoned train station in the deserted district.

At the entrance of the station, she briefly lost sight of the Dice Monster. Unsure of what trick it was playing, she slowed her pace and looked carefully around as she proceeded forward.

All around was silent, so quiet that one could seemingly hear a pin drop, amplifying the sound of her footsteps. Finally, she passed through the cold-hued walkway to arrive at a sunny platform, stopping in front of a railroad car.

This car stood alone, detached from the rest of the train, just sitting forlornly on the rusty tracks. Under the dazzling sun, the dusty windows flickered with mottled shadows.

The girl in the Gothic dress hesitated for a moment, furrowing her brows slightly. She could feel that the strange thing was hiding inside this car, not even hiding its presence, as if flagrantly waiting for her to enter.

She gripped a Magic Card "Random Flash" in her palm in advance, then stepped onto the steel platform and boarded the car.

The moment she entered the car, she slightly raised her eyebrows. It was dim ahead, the depths of the car obscured, but she could discern a gray, human silhouette sitting at the far end of the car, head slightly tilted, hands joined under its chin, much like Commander Ikari from EVA.

With the sunlight streaming through the door, she could vaguely see two rows of unlit candles arranged on the floor.

"What exactly are you up to?" the girl in the Gothic dress asked.

Hardly had her words faded when she suddenly heard a "snap" of fingers, and immediately the two rows of candles one by one lit up, throwing out bright light. From her legs to her skirt, her cheeks were illuminated one by one, enveloped in the warm candlelight, as though she were sinking into the bottom of a warm ocean.

The car was lit up like a night Ferris wheel, creating a captivating atmosphere.

Soon after, the face of the Dice Monster sitting at the deepest end of the car was also illuminated. Its face slowly changed, mimicking that of a boy, the face most familiar to Bai Zini — that of the adorable little blue owl of Huanjing, Ke Mingye.

With Ke Mingye’s face, the Dice Monster said in a mysterious tone.

"If you dare to stay in front of me with that face for one more second, I will kill you," the girl in the Gothic dress said as her face dramatically darkened, her clear eyes obscured by her hanging hair, a fierce glint visible in her pupils like a monstrous beast choosing its prey.

"Okay, one second has passed, why haven’t you killed me yet..."

Before the Dice Monster could finish speaking, what greeted it was a gunshot loud enough to tear through eardrums.

"Bang—!"

The shot rang out, a dark magic bullet burst from the tip of Cinderella’s gun, spiraling through the air towards the Dice Monster.

Luckily, the Dice Monster had anticipated this, slightly tilting its head to the left. The bullet grazed its cheek, leaving a fierce gash on "Ke Mingye’s" face.

The strange thing lowered its face, touched the wound on its cheek, and said in disbelief, "My God, you’re insane, you actually dared to shoot this face?"

"Final warning, change back now."

"Okay okay, I’ll change back, just..."

Before the strange thing could finish speaking, they were interrupted by two loud gunshots.

Then two magic bullets came right at it, one grazing over its head, and the other hitting its shoulder, pinning it against the wall of the car.
