Superman Termination Manual

Chapter 377: Chapter 212: The Birth of the Cinders Witch_3

“Enough talk, I want to discuss something with you.”

“Speak directly if there’s something you want to discuss.”

“Why has our family ended up like this?”

“Oh…” Dice Monster stared at the calm lake surface, pondered for a while, and said, “Are you referring to your brother being a mutant, your eldest brother being a superhero, your second brother being a dragon, your eldest sister being a Divine Communicator, your second sister being a Magic Girl, and your third sister being a vampire?”

“What else?”

“What’s your guess?”

“Someone has tampered with us.”

“Then…” the strange thing tilted its head slightly, speaking in an ethereal tone, “who do you think that person is?”

At these words, Ke Xiaomo fell silent, as if a fishbone was stuck in his throat, and although several plausible answers emerged in his mind, he couldn’t even utter one of the names.

He took a deep breath and clenched his fists slightly.

“This is so boring, fishing is really boring. Why would any angler think fishing is more charming than Dice Monster? He didn’t even want to spare me another glance…”

The strange thing rambled on, casually tossing the fishing rod into the ocean.

Then, turning its face slightly, it glanced at Ke Xiaomo with hollow eyes and said eerily, “Indeed, as you suspect, a mysterious being has interfered with your family. I am very interested in them, that’s why I keep hovering around your family. Otherwise… don’t tell me you really think you have the charm that makes me want to stick with you every day, Mr. Ninja. Don’t flatter yourself.”

“That person… who is it?”

Ke Xiaomo’s tone grew heavier.

“To be precise, I don’t know either. It is exactly because I don’t know that I stay close to you, circling around your family…” the strange thing spread its hands, “Let’s cooperate, shall we? Let’s jointly expose the mysterious manipulator arranging your fates, Mr. Ninja. I reckon… it should be quite an opportune arrangement for both of us: I obtain amusement, and you uncover the truth.”

“Don’t you think you’re a prime suspect yourself?”

“Oh, it would seem that way if you put it like that.”

The strange thing said, stroking its chin, and looked up at the night sky, “But if that’s what you think, then why would I arrange for every little thing in your family to become a Superhuman? What would be the point of me doing this?”

“You don’t need a reason to do things… it’s enough for you to find it amusing, isn’t it?”

“We’ve barely met a few times and you think you know me? That’s why humans are foolish, arrogant, and blissfully unaware of it…”

The strange thing shook its head, murmuring to itself, starting to say one thing but then switching to another, “Well… you’re right. I am the kind of person who seeks fun. Life is but a few decades long, and one can’t take anything from this world. So from the moment I was born, I realized that I should chase after those things that give me pleasure like a mad dog, until the end of my life.”

“So we continue our cooperation. What conditions are needed for you to tell me who that person is?”

“No conditions are necessary. While we collaborate, I too am searching for the Black Judge pulling the strings of Bai Ke’s family… As soon as I find out their identity, I will inform you. So don’t worry, Mr. Ninja, the truth will come to light someday.”

“…Deal,” Ke Xiaomo took a deep breath and slowly spoke.

“That’s good, you really are a smart person, understanding the pros and cons,” the strange thing curled its mouth up, suddenly mentioning, “By the way, when are you and your Mr. Black Judge going to start taking action?”

“What do you mean?”

“Of course, I mean the plan to take down those pretentious agents of the Management Bureau. It sounds very exhilarating, a real dog-eat-dog vibe…

While saying this, the strange thing cocked its head, mocking in a tone neither cold nor hot, “Well, although it’s just fooling yourselves, after all, throughout human history, no matter how powerful the Divine Communicator is, they will eventually head towards extinction. It’s an inevitable tragedy. Even if you stop the Management Bureau, who can stop an out-of-control Black Wukong… But, despite it being meaningless, humans dash madly towards these meaningless things, and it’s only when they are willing to sacrifice their lives for them that I find… human nature truly shines.”

It raised a finger, “In other words, I find it very interesting, so my suggestion is… when that time comes, take me with you.”

“Why should we?” Ke Xiaomo frowned and asked.

“Why? It’s simple, having the all-knowing strange thing on your side will undoubtedly add a layer of security to your operation…”

The strange thing paused for a moment, lowered its face, the pupils swirling with profound light.

“After all, you wouldn’t want to see… your beloved Miss Sun Wukong turn into a pile of mushy blood and flesh, would you, Mr. Ninja?”

Ke Xiaomo frowned and said word by word, “Who knows what tricks you’ll pull at that time?”

“If I wanted to play tricks, I would’ve done so already,” the strange thing spread its hands and sighed, “But I haven’t… and time and again, I’ve given you selfless help, helping you save your family over and over, a gentleman looks at deeds, not intentions. After all these things, shouldn’t you trust me once?”

“I can’t decide this on my own.”

“Then go ask your dear big brother… that selfish, stubborn little devil, I really don’t like him. Every time we meet, he loves slicing me up like sashimi.”

Saying this, the strange thing slowly turned around from the railing, hanging its head, its legs swaying in the night breeze, its empty eyes drooping down, staring at the wet ground of the port.

“Then come to me with your answer… Trust me, you will need me, Mr. Ninja; if you reject my offer of collaboration, your end might be hopeless…”

…

…..

Shortly after, in Old Jingmai District, at Bai Ke’s home.

Ke Xiaomo walked out from the elevator with a complex expression, looked up and saw a youth with his head bowed, playing with his phone, standing quietly at the door, waiting for someone.

“Mingye?” he asked.

“Big bro, I want to talk to you about something,” Mingye said, pausing for a moment, turning off his phone, putting it in his pocket, and looking at Ke Xiaomo from the side, speaking softly, “Something very important.”

Ke Xiaomo stared at him and fell silent for a while: “Good timing, I also have something to ask you.”
