Superman Termination Manual

Chapter 290: Chapter 187: A Deadly Encounter with Gastella (Part 3)_4

“Ninja?” Howard lowered the brim of his hat, speaking with interest.

“A superhuman I’ve never seen before,” Lin Ke said, already notching an arrow onto his bowstring.

“If they’re coming for us, then let’s slaughter them,” Flint said calmly, slowly lifting his massive sword and standing up from the pile of parts.

“No, my target is the player named ‘Gastella.’ Capturing that player will allow us to pry the information about these three Blood Clan Hunters from her lips. Going into battle without knowing their details would be too reckless…,”

Ke Xiaomo thought to himself, executing a backflip to land on the factory wall.

In that instant, Howard raised his silver rifle and pulled the trigger, blue bullets burst out;

At the same time, Lin Ke raised his bow, released the string, and his arrow shot towards Ke Xiaomo’s landing spot, as fast as a blur.

However, the moment Ke Xiaomo’s feet touched the wall, his figure instantly transformed into a raptor-shaped shadow and merged into the wall. His wings vibrated, propeling him downwards explosively, and in the blink of an eye, he had left the factory.

The next moment, the raptor shadow shot directly towards the café.

Upon entering the café, Ke Xiaomo swiftly skimmed up from the shadow, appearing silently behind the girl in the wheelchair and striking her neck with a hand-chop, quickly knocking her out.

Immediately after, Ke Xiaomo, carrying Gastella, slowly merged into the shadow at their feet, entering an isolated space woven from shadows where he could eliminate all external disturbances.

“Shadow Space,” within the entire Shadow Heir Ninja Sect, only he had successfully mastered this technique, not even the former Sect Master was an exception.

The drawback of this move was that it needed too much time. It took three seconds to drag an enemy or oneself into the Shadow Space, which was practically useless against a slightly stronger opponent.

“Something seems off…”

In the dark space, Ke Xiaomo suddenly felt something was wrong: he had just brought his hand-chop down on the girl, who clearly passed out, but her body was still twitching slowly.

The next moment, she turned her body with empty eyes and swung her cane towards Ke Xiaomo’s face.

However, Ke Xiaomo easily sliced through Gastella’s cane with a shadow sword and restrained her body from behind with an outstretched arm.

He realized it was a sign of being controlled by a parasite.

“Was the information from the Dice Monster wrong, or is this not Gastella’s real body?”@@novelbin@@

Ke Xiaomo thought to himself, reaching his hand towards the girl’s face. Soon, he peeled off an extremely thin human face mask from her face.

“As expected… She’s just an ordinary person controlled by Gastella,” Ke Xiaomo thought, wrapping his right hand with an inner strength and shocking the girl’s chest. The parasite wrapped around her heart screeched and burst out from her throat instantly.

Seeing this, Ke Xiaomo held the now completely unconscious girl in his arms and raised his shadow sword to cut the parasite in two.

A “hiss” sound followed, dirty blood splattered in the Shadow Space.

Ke Xiaomo placed the girl on the ground, carefully checked her legs, and confirmed that her limbs were in normal condition, she wasn’t even disabled.

She had just been sitting in a wheelchair, pretending to be disabled.

If the real body of Gastella was truly the girl in the wheelchair seen in the picture, then she must have stuffed a parasite into the body of an ordinary girl and had her impersonate her to meet with another player.

“But what’s the intention, and where did the other player who was shot by the arrow go?”

Ke Xiaomo couldn’t figure it out. For the time being, he left the girl in the Shadow Space and returned to reality, escaping from Hong Ge Commercial Street at the fastest speed.

…

….

On the other side, within an alleyway of Hong Ge Food Street.

[Hint: “Bluebird Scout Plane” has been destroyed.]

Before entering the café, Ke Mingye had released the Deception Puppet with the Bluebird Scout Plane hidden in a nearby alley, making it convenient for him to swap places and escape.

At this moment, the Deception Puppet, shot in the shoulder, was lying on the ground in the alley.

Under the effect of the poison, its body still couldn’t move. It had no choice but to use a skill and quickly release a second Deception Puppet in the alley.

The second puppet embraced the injured first one, while taking out a night belt from its bag and activating the “invisibility feature,” quickly leaving Hongge Commercial Street.

Finally, on a nearby beach, the second puppet deactivated its invisible state, holding the first puppet as they plunged into the sea and slowly sank.

Then, an explosion occurred underwater, the sinister laughter not reaching the surface above.

Ke Mingye did this to prevent Gastella from linking him with the Dice Monster.

After all, the eerie laughter accompanying the Dice Monster’s explosion was well-known on the internet, with many having seen the video.

If his puppet exploded in front of Gastella, Gastella would immediately realize that he was the Dice Monster.

Then, after his family captured Gastella, and Gastella confessed that “the Dice Monster was actually a player,” any future collaboration with his family would be nothing but a pipe dream.

Everyone knows that no matter what tricks you’re playing, the ultimate goal is the extinction of Superhumans. So, who would collaborate with you or listen to another word from you? It would be nonsense.

At this very moment, as both puppets exploded underwater, in one of the bedrooms at Bai Ke’s home.

Ke Mingye thought to himself that his older brother should have held off those Blood Clan Hunters, otherwise his Deception Puppet would have had a high chance of not escaping Hongge Commercial Street, or at the very least, would have had to self-destruct in front of that group of Blood Clan Hunters.

He let out a sigh of relief, took out his backup smartphone, and sent an email to Ke Xiaomo.

[Mr. Strange Thing: How’s it going, Mr. Ninja?]

[Xiao Mo: I met three strong individuals, are they the Blood Clan Hunters you mentioned?]

[Mr. Strange Thing: Yes, they are. But wasn’t the focus supposed to be on the two players meeting in the café? The one in a wheelchair is the player “Gastella” who’s been spreading parasites throughout the city.]

[Mr. Strange Thing: Uh, it seems that neither Gastella nor the player she was meeting with were caught by you?]

[Xiao Mo: No, I caught the one you mentioned, “Gastella.”]

[Xiao Mo: But she was a fake. Although she seemed to be in a wheelchair and her appearance matched the photo you gave me, she was actually an ordinary person controlled by parasites, with normal legs, wearing a facial mask.]

[Xiao Mo: Are you sure the photo of “Gastella” you gave me is of her, not one of her controlled puppets?]

[Mr. Strange Thing: I’m sure it was her. At that time, she was using a cane to spread the parasites, not spitting them out of her mouth, so it should be her indeed.]

[Mr. Strange Thing: It seems that Gastella didn’t use her real body for the meeting but had a puppet impersonate her instead.]

[Xiao Mo: Why would she do that?]

[Mr. Strange Thing: Who knows? Perhaps it was to test whether the other player knew her appearance or not. If they did, it would have been quite a shock, especially since this girl likes to manipulate others with puppets.]

After typing this line, Ke Mingye breathed a light sigh of relief.

“According to older brother, there were three Blood Clan Hunters he encountered…” he thought, “Still no detailed intelligence gathered, and no idea what Gastella’s next move will be after this meeting. Just have to play it by ear.”
