Chapter 559: Chapter 271: Strange Thing VS Alien Monster “Bai Wenna” (Part 1)_3 Chapter 559: Chapter 271: Strange Thing VS Alien Monster “Bai Wenna” (Part 1)_3 “What are you calling them for?” Bai Zini, holding the doorknob, closed Ke Mingye’s room door and asked with annoyance.

“People come to stay at our home; we can’t just ignore them.”

As Ke Mingye spoke, he walked downstairs with Bai Zini. Passing by the kitchen, he glanced at Bai Wenna from the corner of his eye.

“Mom, we’re going out for a walk,” he said.

Bai Wenna, draped in an apron, was tidying up the kitchen cabinets. Without turning her head, she said, “Come back early, don’t be like your father. Every time he says he’s just going downstairs for some cigarettes, he ends up coming back well past midnight.”

“Okay.”

After speaking, Ke Mingye picked up his mobile phone and looked at the screen, slowly walked to the front door, mechanically put on his sneakers by the shoe cabinet, then stepped out of the house and waited in front of the elevator for the cabin to ascend.

“Are you really okay?” the girl asked in the dark.

“I’m fine.”

Hearing this, Bai Zini still frowned slightly, unwilling to let it go. She tiptoed, reached out, and gently covered Ke Mingye’s forehead to feel the temperature coming from her palm.

After a moment, Ke Mingye took a deep breath.

“I don’t have a fever,” he said.

Only then did Bai Zini let go of her hand, placing them behind her back, and spoke softly, “Then why have you been acting weird today?”

“I’ve said it; occasionally, people with supernatural abilities will be like this.” Ke Mingye sighed lightly. “You’re not a supernatural being; what do you know? Can you please stop harping on this issue.”

“What are you getting angry for, I won’t ask anymore.”

“If you ask again, you’re a dog.”

“Woof.”

Ke Mingye was slightly stunned, then, with annoyance, raised his eyes from the mobile phone screen to look at Bai Zini.

“Are you really okay?” Bai Zini tilted her head and asked him.

“Uh…” Ke Mingye looked at her and then at the floor, “I’m fine, don’t worry.”

“But, I did notice something.”

“What’s that?”

“Big brother, it seems like you’ve grown a lot taller recently.”

“Really?”

“Yes.”

Bai Zini thought, as she used to be able to touch his head without even having to tiptoe.

She took a moment to look at Ke Mingye’s side profile; his face seemed thinner and paler, his body had slimmed down, but he was indeed a head taller than before.

“It’s normal to grow taller in sophomore year; if I don’t grow taller now, I’ll never have the chance,” said Ke Mingye nonchalantly. “Honestly, I’m not looking to be as tall as dad; I’d be satisfied if I can reach the height of my older and second brother.”

“Dream on, I’ll surpass you next year.”

Ke Mingye said sarcastically, “Heh, just a reminder, once that comet falls, someone won’t be a magic girl next year. Then, even if you wanted to use magic to make yourself taller, it won’t work. You might as well transform now; at least you’ll be able to barely reach my nose.”

“Oh, so you mean you want me to transform and go for a walk with you?”

“Sense of humor… Then I’ll also walk down the street with you in my Lan Ou battle suit, just wait and see if we’ll make the hot search tomorrow.”

“Making hot search is fine, that way fewer female heroes will harass you.”

“You didn’t snoop through my phone, did you?”

“It’s just that last time in the Ferris wheel, you showed me your phone yourself.”

During the idle chatter, the two stepped into the elevator cabin.

The elevator door slowly closed, and from the narrowing gap, the light from the corridor went out, and Bai Ke’s house was shrouded in darkness, cheerless and unlit.

However… just as the elevator door was about to close completely, in the last instant of the shrinking gap, one could catch a glimpse of someone suddenly opening the house door, a face peeking out. The woman’s face, enveloped in the flickering light, gave a look from the darkness.

Buzz…

Buzzing…

The humming of the elevator echoed in their ears.

Ke Mingye gazed dully at the fully closed elevator door, recalling the look Bai Wenna had cast just a moment ago.

He took a breath of stale air, then lowered his head, his eyes obscured by the black strands of hair.

After a while, he slowly raised his eyes from beneath the strands and then shifted his perspective, focusing on the second Deception Puppet positioned on the rooftop of a nearby residential building.

“Either way, I’ll end up confronting mom… It’s just a matter of sooner or later.”

With this thought, Ke Mingye controlled the Deception Puppet to seize a blazing white strand of webbing, hurtling toward the duplex apartment building at storm-like speed, and soon it appeared like a streak of gray lightning weaving through the sky.

It crouched on the windowsill, raised its eyes, and through the kitchen window, its hollow gaze fell inside the residence.

The light bulb in the living room flickered, the television screen was spitting black and white speckled static, and then, accompanied by the sound of a door closing, a series of footsteps came from the entrance, followed by a figure slowly coming into its field of vision.
