Superman Termination Manual

[Ash: Please, that witch was already on your face, there's no way she'd let you run away. Are you sure you didn't just dream about the witch?]

[Little Red Riding Hood: Senior, I know you're anxious, but hold on a minute, I'm about to head out. Let's talk when I get to the association.]

After replying to Bai Zini's message, Ke Mingye leaned against the head of the bed to stretch lazily, then rolled out of bed with a look of defeat.

"Speaking of which... since Comrade Shi Neian has improved so much this past month, can I try to extract a bit of her magic power from Kobe to use now?"

Thinking this, he walked into the bathroom, sat down on the toilet lid, and casually shut the door.

Then he closed his eyes and switched to the Contracted Beast perspective.

The view that greeted him was an all-encompassing darkness with faint, sporadic glimmers of light.

It's widely known that Contracted Beasts can freely vanish around their owner in a state of spiritual particles, or appear, which is why most Contracted Beasts have a master.

Otherwise, they'd lose the ability to "vanish at will," thus having one less viable escape route when hunted by witches or some malicious superpowered individuals.

At this very moment, Ke Mingye controlled the Contracted Beast, Kobe, to materialize.

Its vision quickly brightened, the round eyes reflecting the seaside room's atmosphere, with the salty sea breeze gently blowing the curtains, revealing glimpses of the coastal scenery.

Next, Kobe crouched down beside the pillow of the sleeping Shi Neian.

Following the instructions in the item bar, he attempted to execute the command to extract a small portion of Shi Neian's magic power into himself.

Immediately, a prompt popped up in front of him.

[The magical girl you have contracted, "Shi Neian," has two types of magic power: normal magic power (magical girl's magic power), and mutated magic power (witch's magic power).]

[Currently, within the magical girl "Shi Neian," the proportions of the two types of magic power are approximately: normal magic power 25%, mutated magic power 75%.]

[Which type of magic power do you wish to extract from the target?]

[Available options are:]

[1, Extract normal magic power (risk-free, does not bring about an increase in spiritual attributes)]

[2, Extract mutated magic power (use carries the risk of mental contamination, while increasing mutated magic power may also influence the spiritual attribute, bringing a certain enhancement)]

"Holy crap, I can do this too?"

Ke Mingye scratched his chin with a hint of surprise.

"So could I try to extract some of her witch form's magic power—this would be like indirectly helping her stabilize her mental state and prevent her from acting irrationally under the influence of the Mutated Witch like last night."

With this thought, Ke Mingye rolled his eyes.

"But it's also possible that it's not her mind being tainted by magic power, but just a fun streak kicking in."

[Under the nourishment of the "witch-characteristic magic power," your spiritual attribute has been increased: 45 → 47 points (↑2 points).]

"I've stealthily stolen two points of spiritual attribute-enhanced magic power from her. But, would her spiritual attributes decline as well? Probably not, right?"

Ke Mingye massaged the Tianming Acupoint, thinking guiltily.

"Ah well, let's just wake her up and see her reaction."

With that in mind, he maneuvered Kobe to shuffle its feet, tiptoeing forward, then lifted its wings like elbows, and "slapped" Shi Neian awake with a palm strike.

"What's up?"

Shi Neian opened her bleary eyes, stared at Kobe's round face for a second, then turned over, out of sight, out of mind.

"It's time to get up for a run." The owl put on an inspirational face. "Come on Shi Neian, we aspire to be the world's number one magical girl and the world's best Contracted Beast. We can't be waking up only when the sun hits our butts, right?"

"Have you, seen Los Angeles at four in the morning?"

Shi Neian lay on the pillow and suddenly asked out of nowhere.

The owl cocked its head, looking at her in puzzled curiosity: "Shi Nai'an, what's Los Angeles at four in the morning like?"

"A sage from home once said that." Shi Neian yawned leisurely, "Kobe, from now on, you can use that phrase to wake me up. It's quite fitting."

"Sure thing. As long as you like it." The owl nodded, feigning understanding.

"Good boy... But don't rush, let me sleep a bit more."

"Don't sleep anymore!"

With that, the owl used its wings to hold up her phone, "I saw your phone light up just now. Red Hat says there's a meeting with the Alliance, she's going to find you soon, and told you not to run around."

"Oh, then let's switch to a nearby hotel and continue sleeping."

After speaking, Shi Neian slowly got up and rubbed her dark circles. Her hair was a mess, and there was even a stray strand sticking up on top of her head, indicating that the quality of her sleep last night was not very good.

The owl focused.

As per usual, the night owl girl glanced over her daily report panel after getting up, then casually checked her attribute panel.

Seemingly curious whether her physical fitness attribute had naturally increased due to her physical development.

At this moment, her gaze lingered on the attribute panel for a second.

"Eh... Did my spiritual attribute just drop by two points?"

Shi Neian rubbed her eyes and murmured softly, seriously doubting her vision.

Seeing this, Kobe felt a bit guilty while patting her back with its wings, diverting her attention: "Don't space out, hurry up and run!"

Meanwhile, it thought to itself: "As expected, the attribute enhancement brought by her mutated magic power has also disappeared."
