Superman's Ending Manual

Abandoned train station, platform 7.

In the leisurely night, the puddles on the edge of the train track are crystal clear, reflecting the full moon that is clustered between the fish-scale clouds and appears and disappears.

It rained a little not long ago, and the bean-sized water drops falling from the eaves on the top of the platform drew a clear arc in the air and tapped on the track.

The noisy voices of people talking on the phone overlapped.

Ke Mingye sat on the wooden bench on the platform with his eyes downcast.

After he said with a voice changer, "I will join the Super Hero Association, provided that I want to keep my identity secret", Che Zhengchen on the other side of the phone fell into silence for a short time.

"No, then forget it..." Ke Mingye sighed and said calmly, "I don't care anyway, give you ten seconds to respond, if you don't speak again, I'll hang up."

After that, he began to count down unilaterally: "Ten, nine, eight, seven..."

At the moment when he counted to the last two seconds, Che Zhengchen broke the silence.

"Are you free to meet tomorrow afternoon? It's in the Super Hero Association building. When you come in, tell the staff my name, and then follow them to the office on the 45th floor, and you can see me."

"Are you meeting alone?"

Ke Mingye raised his eyebrows slightly, and continued, "Or do you want me to communicate with the top leaders of the Super Hero Association? I'm not good at dealing with that kind of situation."

He certainly didn't worry about any danger in meeting Che Zhengchen alone.

After all, although Che Zhengchen had Gastro's bugs hidden in his body, he still controlled his body most of the time.

Besides, their meeting place was still in a place like the Super Hero Association. No matter how stupid Gastro was, he couldn't make a move in such a place, which was equivalent to giving up Che Zhengchen's good card.

Take a step back, if Gastro wanted to control Che Zhengchen to make a move on him, he even arranged a group of people inside the association building and used some traps to subdue Blue Owl on the spot.

Then Ke Mingye could just let the puppet explode in the Super Hero Association to erase all traces.

The consequences of doing so are not serious, it is just equivalent to giving up the identity of "Blue Owl".

If it doesn't work, just change a vest and make a new debut in a few days. Anyway, few people in the family have confirmed that Blue Owl is him.

"Yes, meet alone. I want to talk to you about something."

Che Zhengchen smiled slightly, his voice warm.

"What is it? Can't you just say it directly on the phone?"

"About why I like you." Che Zhengchen smiled, "By the way, Platinum Wings has a good first impression of you. If you want to join the association, I will probably assign you and them to the same team. Do you have any objections?"

"No."

"I hope you can be the captain."

"Isn't it too early to say this now, Sir, we haven't met yet." Ke Mingye sighed.

Hearing this, Che Zhengchen laughed from the other end of the phone. He paused for a moment and said, "So I am looking forward to our meeting, although I don't know why you want to hide your identity from me. But after we meet tomorrow, I will judge whether you are worthy of my trust, and you can also observe with your own eyes what kind of person I am."

As he said, he coughed twice: "If we get along well, then it won't be too late to confess your identity to me when you let down your guard against me in the future."

"Do you trust me so much?"

"My intuition is rarely wrong. The people I like basically become famous card-level heroes later,"

Che Zhengchen said confidently.

After speaking, he added, "By the way, I also cooperated with Qing Ya for a period of time, but later, with his status in the association, he no longer needed the commander to direct him to do things, so he did his own thing."

When Ke Mingye heard this, he felt that the person on the other end of the phone was very smart and deliberately mentioned Qing Ya to please him.

After all, Blue Owl's external persona is that of a rookie vigilante who imitates Blue Crow. When the other party mentions Blue Crow at this time, it is difficult for him not to lower his guard.

Of course, the persona is just a persona.

It is difficult for Ke Mingye to have a yearning for someone who lives with him day and night. Not to mention letting down his guard just because someone else talks about Blue Crow.

After all, in the memories of the past ten years in his mind, there are many scenes of Ke Youqing, a henpecked husband, making a fool of himself at home. It is hard not to think that he is venting his anger at home on those criminals.

A hairsprayer in a certain anime once said that yearning is the farthest feeling from understanding, which is probably what he meant.

"From the sound of your voice, you should be much younger than Blue Crow. Have you ever taken care of him?"

Ke Mingye tried to squeeze out a hint of surprise from his voice.

"Yes, it took me a lot of effort to convince him to join the Super Hero Association. He has a stubborn personality and said many times that he only wanted to be a vigilante, saying that he could do everything best without the constraints of the outside world."

Che Zhengchen paused for a while and said with a nostalgic tone: "But later he still joined the association."

"Why." Ke Mingye was puzzled.

To be honest, he couldn't figure out why his father, who had been a lone ranger for so many years, suddenly wanted to join the official.

Che Zhengchen replied: "Because Qing Ya knew that a number one vigilante like himself had been roaming around Beijing and swept through most of the criminal incidents, so the existence of the Super Hero Association seemed meaningless."

"Then, people will be disappointed with the officials and question the superheroes who work for the association, putting their reputation and status in jeopardy.

“Considering these factors, he finally decided to give up his identity as a vigilante and join the Super League.

“So essentially, Green Crow’s behavior in joining the association was purely out of consideration for the reputation of other heroes.

"After all, if you think about it, if the officially certified heroes are not as good as some vigilantes, then the so-called Super Hero Association and other 'superhero' titles will no longer have much credibility."

Hearing this, Ke Mingye thought for a while and said disapprovingly: "It's really interesting, so do you think I should follow Qingya's path and abandon my identity as a vigilante and join the association like him?"

"Of course, that's what I mean." Che Zhengchen said, "The greater the number of vigilantes, the stronger their sense of presence and the higher their reputation among the people, and the more disappointed people will be with the authorities and the law. "

He paused and his tone became a little more serious.

“So, if you want to really help people, then joining an association is an option.

"This is not much different from your previous life. It's just that you rely on the authorities and adopt a more formal way to fight criminals. At the same time, if we talk about more practical issues, becoming an official superhero at least It can bring some policy benefits and convenience to your family.”

Hearing this, Ke Mingye teased: "According to what you said, if the Super English Association will be affected by some outstanding vigilantes, then there is no need for its existence."

"Haha, Qingya had the same idea at the beginning."

Che Zhengchen smiled.

"But then he felt that people needed a belief, a pillar that could allow them to live with peace of mind, and that pillar was the Super League; and a vigilante would always be just a vigilante, an existence outside the law. 'Security' and 'stability' are two words that go against each other, and no matter how hard they try, they will only bring chaos to the city."

Ke Mingye was noncommittal, "You are right to think so."

He paused and suddenly said: "By the way, if I remember correctly, Gray Pigeon should also be a superhero you led, right?"

As soon as he said this, Che Zhengchen on the other side of the phone was silent for six or seven seconds.

After a while, Che Zhengchen breathed a sigh of relief and tried his best to keep a calm tone, "Yes, this is what I want to talk to you about. I hope I can see you in the office tomorrow afternoon."

"That's it for now, hang up."

After saying that, Ke Mingye hung up the phone.

Then he used the "Permanent Magical Girl Transformation Card" in his bag to transform, clipped his spare phone into the magic book, and then made the magic book disappear to prevent the phone signal from being tracked.

After finishing a series of tasks, he left the abandoned train station and walked towards his home. Take the elevator to the twelfth floor of the duplex apartment building.

Pressing the doorbell, he lowered his head and played with his phone quietly, waiting for the person inside to open the door.

"Brother, where have you been?"

Soon, Bai Zini opened the door for him, looked up from her phone and stared at him, then asked.

"Night run."

With that said, Ke Mingye took off his sneakers and put on his slippers. He looked down at the phone passing by her, "Can you please stop checking where I go every time I go out? I'm like my mother."

"Aren't you afraid that you will be abducted?"

Bai Zini closed the door as she spoke, put her hands behind her back, and quietly caught up with his back, "By the way, that friend of mine...she probably didn't send you a message, right?"

"I'll go, do you still have friends?"

Hearing this, Bai Zini frowned and was about to speak when Ke Mingye interrupted him with a sudden thought: "Oh, that You Minglu, she chatted with me for a while last night."

Bai Zini was stunned and asked hesitantly: "What did you talk about?"

"It's your business."

"What's wrong with me?"

"She asked me, 'Are you as domineering at home as you are outside?'"

"Then, how did you answer her?"

"I said, your behavior at home is not only domineering, but also invincible, okay?"

Ke Mingye said expressionlessly, walking faster and throwing away Bai Zini who was following behind.

"roll."

Bai Zini's face sank, and she raised her middle finger at Ke Mingye's back angrily.

As if he had expected it, Ke Mingye gave him a middle finger in return without looking back, and then walked up to the second floor.

He walked back to his room, locked the door, and lay his upper body on the bed with his feet still on the ground. Ke Mingye breathed a sigh of relief and didn't even bother to wash his face. He reached out to turn off the light, put his other arm across his forehead, and gathered his thoughts.

Che Zhengchen is one of the commanders of the Beijing-based branch of the Super Hero Association. His main task is to supervise the superhero team.

He has managed many superhero teams, the more famous Gray Pigeon Team, and the most recent Platinum Wings Team, all under his direct control.

Now there are two possibilities for his identity.

The first possibility: He is the first ordinary person controlled by bugs after Gastro came to this city;

Second possibility: He is Gastro.

The second possibility completely exists, because Che Zhengchen is not a superhuman race, but an ordinary person, under the age of forty-five, and all the conditions meet the conditions for being taken over by the player.

Therefore, it is indeed possible that he will become the player's spawn point.

Thinking like this, Ke Mingye opened his eyes, took out the mobile phone placed on his pillow, and checked the relevant information of the Super League Association. After browsing for a long time, I found the news related to "Che Zhengchen" last month.

This update shows that on June 19, Che Zhengchen, on behalf of the Super League Association, went to a primary school for the deaf and mute to participate in charity activities with several other well-known heroes.

In the photo, Che Zhengchen wears gold-rimmed glasses, a slicked back haircut, and an association uniform.

A cheerful face and a warm smile, a very classic leadership image.

In the photo, you can still see the figure of the writer Mo. After all, he is also the face of the China branch. Participating in such charity activities will be beneficial to the public image.

However, since the battle of the Ninja Sect, the Mo writer has not appeared in public for some time. Presumably, he will announce his withdrawal from the Premier League Association soon.

As for the future of Mo Shujia, Ke Mingye didn't know.

He only knows that the life of the Mo writer should be in the hands of his eldest brother and second brother, so where he goes from here depends on their decision.

"On June 19th, the system has just opened the discussion group function for players in the same city. All players with Huanjing as their birth point will join the discussion group."

"At that time, Gastro's name did not appear in the discussion group, which means that she was not in Beijing on June 19."

"But Che Zhengchen was doing charity activities on behalf of the Super League Association at a primary school for disabled people in Beijing, so it is certain that Che Zhengchen was not Gastro."

"He was just a regular guy who was bugged by a Gastro."

Ke Mingye's thoughts stayed here.

He sighed softly, it would be fine if Gastro was Che Zhengchen, it would save him the effort to find Gastro's true identity.

But it seems that if you want to find out Gastro's true identity, you still have to start with Che Zhengchen.

After all, he was the first person Gastro persecuted with insects in this city, and there might still be memories related to Gastro's true form in his mind.

"Let's show off our identity with dad as soon as possible. If there is one person in the family who can guarantee my safety and save me from any danger I may encounter at any time, it is dad."

Ke Mingye cleared away his complicated thoughts, then slowly closed his eyelids, and soon fell asleep.

The next day, five o'clock in the morning.

[Good morning, Mr. Player, today is July 9, 2028. There are still 344 days left before the time limit for achieving the ultimate mission "Extermination of Superhumans" ends. 】

Ke Mingye opened his eyes mechanically and stood up, lifted the quilt and walked out of the room. While checking his daily tasks, he walked into the bathroom, brushed his teeth in front of the mirror and washed himself.

[Daily Task 1: Run 5,000 meters (reward: one opportunity to use the reward wheel)]

[Daily Task 2: Do one hundred sit-ups (reward: 2 freely allocated attribute points)]

"Sure enough, the attribute points have increased, but it is still open to question whether it is like this every day."

Ke Mingye raised his eyebrows, spit out a mouthful of mouthwash, and was secretly happy. He turned around and just opened the toilet door when he saw a figure standing in front of the door.

"Let's go for a run together?"

Ke Xiaomo asked, holding his shoulders and tilting his head slightly.

"I'll go, it's scary, bro."

Ke Mingye held his chest and breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes twitched slightly, and he complained: "You make me feel like those ninjas in Vientiane City, you are so elusive."

"Isn't that true?" Ke Xiaomo said softly, "Huh", and said slowly, "There is something going on at the university. I have to go back to Xi'an in two weeks if I have something to do, and then I probably won't be back this summer."

"I understand, you want to make your presence known while you are still at home, lest we forget you, right?" Ke Mingye said.

"Why not?"

As they talked, they went downstairs, took the elevator to Lao Jingmai Street, and ran slowly around the outer edge of Lao Jingmai Street in the morning sun.

"By the way, what do you think of superheroes?"

While running, Ke Xiaomo suddenly asked.

"Just stay away if you see him. What else can you say?" Ke Mingye turned to look at him while running forward.

"That is to say... have you ever thought about becoming a superhero?"

"Every high school student has thought about this, right?" Ke Mingye raised his head and answered casually, "But we are all ordinary people. Thinking back, it is better to go to college honestly and strive to become a better-paid social worker in the future. Be realistic."

"Yeah."

Ke Xiaomo paused and probed further, "Then what do you think of the nearest 'blue owl'?"

Come on, come on... If you want to ask this, just say it directly, is it necessary to go around in such a big circle?

Ke Mingye rolled his eyes in his heart and replied.

"Brother, what's the point of paying attention to such a small character? Not so much in the past few years. The media hypes it first, and then waits for two days until the economic company packages it, and then starts to make money on his debut. If you don't believe it, just wait and see, I work every day Surfing the Internet, I definitely know more than you do.”

"That's right."

Ke Xiaomo said this and stopped talking. He just ran with Ke Mingye for five thousand meters, then helped Ke Mingye count and watched him finish a hundred sit-ups.

Then the two had breakfast at a nearby breakfast shop.

"So...if I really want to be a superhero, what do you think?"

At the dining table in the store, Ke Mingye held his chopsticks in his mouth and raised his eyes to test.

"Didn't you say you are an ordinary person?" Ke Xiaomo asked.

"Just a hypothesis."

Hearing this, the chopsticks in Ke Xiaomo's hand stopped in mid-air. He lowered his eyes and thought for a while, and then said deeply: "Of course, you are my brother, and I will support you no matter what choice you make."

"oh oh."

Ke Mingye nodded in response, picked up a piece of Shaomai with chopsticks and put it into his mouth, avoiding Ke Xiaomo's eyes.

He really couldn't stand this kind of conversation atmosphere. The only person in the family who spoke so seriously was probably Ke Xiaomo. Although Bai Qiuwu is serious, he occasionally makes jokes, so he is not so boring and embarrassed.

Taking advantage of his meal break, he received the rewards from the daily tasks.

[Have received the reward of Daily Task 2 "One Hundred Sit-ups" and obtained 2 attribute points that can be distributed freely. 】

Ke Mingye raised his finger and allocated the two attribute points he acquired to "physical fitness" and "mental strength" respectively.

[Your "Physical Quality" attribute changes: 65 → 66 points (↑1 point). 】

[Your "mental power" attribute changes: 23→24 points (↑1 point)]

[Have received the reward of Daily Task 1 "Running 5,000 Meters" and won a carousel lottery opportunity. 】

As the prompt box disappears, the reward wheel slowly unfolds in front of you, and the text in the six areas comes into view.

[1. 2000 mall coins;]

【20% off or 30% off shopping coupons;】

[3. A magic card bundle;]

[4. Fragments of a low-level skill enhancement card (collect three fragments of skill enhancement cards to synthesize a low-level skill enhancement card) (low-level skill enhancement cards can be used to enhance an E-level skill); ]

[5. An E-level skill card pack (containing three random and different E-level skill cards);]

[6. 1000 experience points. 】

While Ke Mingye drank soy milk, he pressed the start button of the turntable with his mind, and the pointer began to rotate at high speed.

Finally stopped in area 4.

[Congratulations, you have obtained the reward from area 4: a fragment of a low-level skill enhancement card (currently you hold 2 in total, after collecting 3 fragments, you can get a low-level skill enhancement card)]

After eating breakfast, the two of them didn't stay outside any longer and returned home the same way they came.

As soon as Ke Mingye sat down in the room, a message came from his backup phone. I looked down and saw a message from a QQ friend.

[Not Ashes: If you have time, come to the elementary school. The master asked me to teach you how to make cards. 】

[Little Red Riding Hood, the Match Seller: Here we come. 】

"Card making...make more life-saving cards, they will come in handy in the future."

Ke Mingye had been looking forward to this for a long time. He imagined in his mind the scene of using personality tearing to split a social animal personality, allowing her to control Little Red Riding Hood to produce cards day and night.

So soon he released the Trickster Doll and brought it to the abandoned train station.

He took out a set of women's clothing from the locker, put it on, put on the human face mask, and then used the "Magical Girl Transformation Card".

Soon, when the magical girl Little Red Riding Hood arrived at the long-closed Huanjing Elementary School, she was slightly stunned by the scene before her.

He almost fell out of the air.

Her toes were awkwardly placed on the ground, and the layers of snowflakes wrapped around her body slowly dispersed, turning into scattered light spots scattered on the ground.

Looking up, he saw the magical girl Hui Jin leaning on the iron net in the corner of the rooftop, holding her shoulder with one hand and playing with her mobile phone with the other.

Her expression was quite casual, and her long, beautiful black hair was swaying gently in the breeze.

The focus of Little Red Riding Hood is that at this moment, there is a helmet with a high sense of technology at Ashes' feet, which does not look like a creation of this era.

Ke Mingye was very familiar with this thing. After all, it had tortured him for a long time.

Brain imaging helmet.

Asking for a monthly ticket!
