Superman's Ending Manual

"You think so... Blue Owl."

As An Renchuan finished his shocking words, he raised his right hand and put it on Ke Mingye's shoulder, with a knowing smile on his face.

In the living room, Bai Zini, Qiu Xia, You Minglu and An Hong were stunned at the same time. Especially Qiu Xia, she almost burst the bottle of Horseshoe Juice in her hand.

The cicadas were chirping outside the window.

The people in the room were in a daze.

There was obviously no air conditioning on in the living room, only a fan slowly turning, blowing on the faces of several people. Their expressions seemed to be frozen.

You Minglu was the first to come to his senses, but she still remained calm and expressionless.

She slowly turned her face, leaned close to Bai Zini, and said calmly in her ear: "It turns out that senior's brother is actually a superhero, so awesome. But senior didn't tell me such an important thing, and he really had garbage in his mouth. Little girls who grow up don’t deserve to play with little girls with silver spoons in their mouths.”

Bai Zini froze on the spot like a sculpture. She stared at Ke Mingye's face for a few seconds, and then she calmed down after hearing You Minglu's words.

Then, his cheeks puffed up slightly.

She lowered her head, trying not to laugh, and leaned close to You Minglu's ear, whispering: "Oh my God, he actually lied to us that my brother is a superhero... We really don't think we know how powerful this guy is. It’s so heavy, I can’t stand it anymore.”

"Yes, it's so funny." You Minglu nodded and responded calmly, "A lazy dog ​​cannot be a superhero. I can testify to this..."

"You lazy pig, aren't you going to become a magical girl?"

"Being a magical girl is uncontrollable. A lazy pig will also be selected by the comet and become a lazy pig contract beast."

While the two were talking, Qiu Xia came out of her dazed state. She pointed her finger at Ke Mingye, stared at him dumbfounded, and stammered, "Wait, it turns out you're talking about you, you, you—! You're the one Blue owl?"

"That's right. Otherwise, why do you think he is here?"

An Renchuan took a sip of hot water and replied on behalf of Ke Mingye.

"I'm not, I didn't..."

Ke Mingye slumped on the back of the sofa, covering his forehead with his hands and mumbling.

"Blue... owl?"

An Hong murmured. It was really difficult for her to put Ke Mingye and the slightly neurotic superhero together, so she was the first to question it.

"Brother, are you serious or are you kidding?"

"Of course I'm serious." An Inchuan smiled.

"Are you talking about the owl that gets beaten up every day?"

You Minglu asked additionally.

"Being beaten every day is a bit exaggerated..."

As he said this, An Inchuan laughed "haha" twice, and then joked.

"Our Comrade Blue Owl is still very powerful. He sent the mechanical transformation man Lester to prison just after he debuted. Everyone calls him the future star of the Super League, and many of the female heroes in the association are his potential Suitor. Even I am a little jealous of his popularity. How can he be as bad as you said? "

Hearing this, You Minglu put his hand on his chin and said expressionlessly: "What you said seems to be different from what I heard. Why, when I was surfing the Internet, I saw that others said he was a 'teenager'." "The illegitimate son of Crow" and "Guanhu Chaoying", how can anyone say that he is a rising star?"

Bai Zini was puzzled, thinking that these people were really capable of telling lies with their eyes open, so she picked up the drink, put the mouth of the bottle to her lips, and drank a sip down her throat to relieve her boredom.

Then he said: "Can you stop joking? Does this person look a little bit like a superhero?"

As she said that, she raised her eyes to look at Ke Mingye angrily, and then quickly looked back.

"Didn't you say that you have only met once?" An Renchuan smiled, "Why do you sound like you know him very well?"

"Just meeting her once is enough." Bai Zini said as she turned away, her ponytail swaying slightly.

"I also think he doesn't really look like a superhero. He looks like an ordinary high school student. Senior An Hong's brother is really good at teasing us."

You Minglu said calmly.

Qiu Xia listened to the conversation between the three of them and then reacted belatedly: "Was it a joke?"

"otherwise……"

Ke Mingye was silent for a moment, and when he was about to speak, he was interrupted by An Inchuan.

"No." An Renchuan shook his head and said in a more serious tone, "Because An Hong said that he would take friends home to play, and you are all magical girls, I called the blue owl over. Everyone is The superhumans fighting for the city all belong to the official organization, so I feel there is nothing to hide in terms of identity.”

"You are invincible..." Ke Mingye said deeply.

"So you're really a blue owl?"

"Do you think I look like you?"

Ke Mingye tried to make a final struggle, but at this moment, An Renchuan took away his mobile phone while he was not paying attention, opened the photo album, pulled out one of the photos, and showed it to the four of them.

In the photo, the blue owl and the magical girl Kaede put their heads together to take a photo.

Qiu Xia stared at the photo and froze on the spot, her eyes trembling.

She remembered that this was taken after they solved the mass riot incident together. At that time, after Blue Owl took the photo with his mobile phone, he asked her if she had an email address and said he wanted to send the photo to her.

But at that time, before she had time to report her email address to him, An Hong pushed her away from the scene.

At that time, she regretted it for a long time, and kept complaining to An Hong afterwards, asking why they were so anxious to push her away. However, she was so nervous that she could hardly think. It was just a simple matter of reporting an email address, but she couldn't remember her email address for a while, so she couldn't blame others.

At this moment, looking at this photo silently, Qiu Xia thought, if there is only one person in the world who may have this photo, then this person must be Blue Owl.

Thinking of this, Qiu Xia slowly moved her eyes away from the photo and secretly looked at Ke Mingye's profile.

"Give me back my phone, do you have manners?"

Ke Mingye said with a gloomy face, and quickly snatched the phone back from An Renchuan's hand.

An Renchuan raised his lips, shrugged his shoulders and explained: "He mentioned this photo to me just now. He said that you solved a parasite riot at that time, and then Qiu Xia asked him for a photo. But he didn't have time to give it to her, so this photo has been saved in his mobile phone album."

An Hong opened her eyes wide and covered her slightly open mouth with her hands, thinking that this is basically ironclad evidence. It turns out that her brother did not lie. The person next to him is really the Blue Owl?

"It turns out that it is really you..." Qiu Xia murmured.

"No. This photo was only given to me by Blue Owl."

Ke Mingye sighed deeply, avoiding her gaze, and still quibbling.

"No, Blue Owl can't be that kind of person." Qiu Xia shook her head and asserted.

"Haha, people say you're not that kind of person anymore."

An Renchuan touched Ke Mingye's shoulder with his shoulder, teasing in a relaxed tone, "Don't be stubborn if the evidence is solid. You still refuse to admit it. How sad do you want to make your little fan?"

"You're really annoying. It seems that I have to apply to Commander Che for a transfer when I go back."

"Is it that serious?" An Renchuan spread his hands.

"Can you give me that photo?" Qiu Xia said.

"Here you go."

"I've been thinking about this photo for a long time. Thank you, Mr. Blue Owl."

"Can you stop calling me that?"

"Blue Owl?"

"Ke Mingye."

"Oh, is that your name?"

"What else?"

"I always thought Blue Owl was at least an uncle, but I didn't expect him to be so young."

"What did I do to make you have this misunderstanding?"

As the few people talked, one person said nothing.

Bai Zini listened to the conversation of the few people like an outsider. They were obviously talking about her brother, the person she was most familiar with and closest to, but she couldn't get involved in the topic at all and could only sit on the sofa in a state of incompatibility.

It was as if... she knew nothing about this person.

She lowered her head and was stunned for a long, long time, then slowly raised her eyes, glanced at An Renchuan, then at Qiu Xia, and finally cast her eyes on the pale Ke Mingye.

She stared at Ke Mingye motionlessly for a long time.

After a while, she opened her mouth slightly and asked slowly: "Is what he said true... or false?"

The girl's voice was very calm, as if she was asking a normal question, but her tone was as light as the sound of a cicada.

Ke Mingye met Bai Zini's gaze and seemed to want to say something, but just sighed softly.

"Since when?" She continued to ask.

Ke Mingye still didn't answer, but just avoided her staring eyes.

"I'm asking you... since when did it start."

Ke Mingye opened his mouth.

"Why don't you speak?"

Ke Mingye turned his cheek away.

"Is it fun..."

Ke Mingye lowered his eyes.

"It has been like this since childhood."

"I don't want to see you get hurt at all."

"Why don't you say a word?"

"You know it clearly."

Bai Zini paused for a moment before continuing.

"No one cares about you more than me..."

"No one."

At the end, Bai Zini bit her lip and slowly lowered her head. Her hair covered her angry eyes with tears in her eyes.

The living room was shrouded in silence for a short time. No one knew what was going on and why Bai Zini suddenly had such a big reaction. They just stared at them blankly.

After a while, seeing that Ke Mingye still didn't say a word, Bai Zini stood up from the sofa, turned around, and walked to the entrance without looking back. She didn't even change her shoes. She just held her pair of sandals in her palms, then turned the doorknob, walked out of the house barefoot, and closed the door with a "click".

Qiu Xia and An Hong were both shocked. They looked at Ke Mingye again, thinking that there was someone in the world who could make Senior Huijin show such a reaction. Who was he?

"Comrade Blue Owl, what happened between you and that girl?"

An Renchuan was also a little confused, and couldn't help but cast a surprised look at Ke Mingye.

"It's really annoying..."

Ke Mingye took a deep breath and said slowly: "I'll go back first, you continue to play, don't worry about us." After that, he got up and walked out of the house.

On a hot summer day, the wind with heat waves blew on his face, and he felt like he was about to melt into a pile of roast meat.

"Where did you go?"

Ke Mingye raised his arm to block the bright sunlight, walked along the tobacco pipe commercial street for a while, and came to a nearby riverside path.

He remembered this place.

When he was young, he and Bai Zini would often come here after school, sit by the river and chat, until the sun set over the corner of the horizon, then walk home along this path. Along the way, they watched cyclists coming and going in the dusk, and watched children chasing and playing by the river.

Under the red sunset, among the flying grass clippings, the girl put her hands behind her back, turned to look at him, and stepped back step by step, the smiling face in her memory was vaguely visible.

Ke Mingye walked forward while thinking. He looked up and saw a girl sitting on the lawn on the river bank, hugging her knees and looking at the sparkling lake. Under the bright sun, the scene at the bottom of the lake is like a transparent exhibition box in an aquarium, with turtles and fish swimming slowly underneath clearly visible.

Ke Mingye was silent for a while, then walked to her side, patted the weeds, and sat down.

"What are you doing...I'm going to get a pig's head in the sun." He said.

Bai Zini ignored him and just put the lower half of her face on her slightly bent knees, her eyes lowered.

"Is it my fault?" Ke Mingye sighed, "You didn't tell me that your friend is a magical girl? I'm not even angry yet, so why am I angry when I come to you?"

Bai Zini still didn't speak.

"I know you're worried about me, but I'm just worried that you're worried about me, so I don't want to tell you."

Ke Mingye looked at the other side and said nonchalantly.

"You are my sister. Do you still remember that you said you wanted to be a magical girl to protect me...Can't I be a superhero to protect you? The world is so chaotic now. You also said before that a friend of yours was... Superhumans attacked, I’m in a bad mood..."

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, and then continued: "Now that I think about it, the friend you mentioned is not a magical girl, right?"

"Dead."

"What?"

"Both my two friends are dead. They died a long time ago." Bai Zini said.

"I've seen the news. Are they the two magical girls who were killed by the Ghost-Hand Buddha and the Abyss Swordsman a few months ago?"

"Yes. That's why I don't want anything to happen to you, brother." Bai Zini paused, "You are very, very, very, very important to me..." She said the same word until she could hardly breathe, and then she said it deeply. He took a breath, then lowered his voice and said, "...important."

"Got it, idiot."

As Ke Mingye said this, he picked up a pebble and threw it towards the river.

The pebbles drew a beautiful parabola in mid-air, and then fell into the river, causing ripples.

"Then... when did it start?" Bai Zini asked.

"Almost two months ago, I awakened my powers, and then I was thinking about whether I could become a superhero."

As he said that, Ke Mingye casually pulled up a piece of grass on the riverside, lowered his eyes and said, "Then it just happened like this in a daze. I joined the Super English Association, met some friends, came to his house... and met you. "

"Then...how long did you plan to keep this secret from me?"

"Who knows." Ke Mingye said softly, "Maybe I can't help but tell you at some point."

"Really?"

"Please, don't think I'm heartless. In fact, I'm also worried." Ke Mingye said.

"I think if it hadn't been broken, you would have been hiding it from me."

"No."

"I believe you once."

"Are you still angry?"

"fine……"

"Then...do you want to go back to your classmate's house?" Ke Mingye asked.

Bai Zini shook her head gently.

"Then we won't go back, let's go home?"

"I don't want to go home."

"Then what are you going to do, just sit here and wait for the sun to bake you?"

Ke Mingye tilted his head and asked angrily.

Bai Zini stood up from the grass in silence and walked up to the river bank path. She turned her head sideways and looked at the slowly rotating Ferris wheel in the distance.

"Let's go sit on that one." She pointed to the Ferris wheel.

"Okay...you're the boss."

After saying that, Ke Mingye walked with her to a nearby amusement park, paid for the ticket by scanning the QR code on his mobile phone, and boarded the Ferris wheel carriage under the watchful eyes of the staff.

Time slowly came to dusk and the sun set in the west. They never spoke. Bai Zini just sat quietly in the carriage and looked out the window. The girl's clear silhouette shines on the window, reflecting with the mountains in the distance, swaying in a daze.

From beginning to end, the two of them didn't speak, just silently looking at the city shrouded in the afterglow.

When the two finally got off the Ferris wheel, it was almost dark, and they walked to the beach in silence.

Bai Zini took off her sandals and walked towards the sea step by step with her bare feet, leaving footprints of varying depths on the beach.

"Don't go...the tide is coming."

Ke Mingye stopped on the red beach and said to her retreating back.

After a moment, Bai Zini slowly turned around, with her hands behind her back and her eyes lowered. Her figure was shrouded in the afterglow, like a hazy butterfly wing.

"Answer me a few questions."

She whispered under the setting sun on the horizon.

Ke Mingye stared at her motionless and shrugged.

"Then you ask," he said.

"Will you lie to me again?"

"Won't."

Bai Zini took a step back gently. Looking sideways, the setting sun on the horizon makes the beach look as red as wine.

"Will you leave me like my friend did?" she asked.

"No."

Bai Zini took another step back, getting closer and closer to the sea and farther and farther away from Ke Mingye.

"If I say... I say I am a magical girl, what will you think?"

She asked softly.

"What is there to think about? You are still my sister."

"Aren't you angry?"

"No."

Bai Zini's hair fluttered gently in the sea breeze, dyed golden by the afterglow of the setting sun.

She took another step back slowly. It was almost night, the background color of the sky gradually darkened, and the increasingly turbulent sea tide gradually swallowed her white ankles.

"One last question."

"Ask."

In the growing sea breeze, Bai Zini's lips moved slightly, and her voice was covered by the "splashing" sound of the waves hitting the coast. The trance afterglow and the splashing waves swayed her figure together, and seagulls flew across the dim sky together, dropping white feathers.

In the fleeting two seconds, Ke Mingye couldn't hear what she was saying, but he could vaguely tell from her lip shape that she seemed to be asking something.

"To you, I'm just..."

Just... what? Ke Mingye thought.

"The wind is too strong, I can't hear clearly."

Ke Mingye said loudly while walking forward, gradually approaching Bai Zini, and said unhappily: "Student Bai Zini, didn't your mother tell you not to hang around on the beach at night... It's really dangerous."

He walked closer to Bai Zini step by step, stretched out his hand, and wanted to hold her hand. At this moment, the sunset completely sank below the horizon, taking away the last beam of afterglow that fell on the world, and the whole world darkened. From one end of the horizon, the overwhelming tide swept in, swallowing the two figures into it.

Amid the cries of seagulls, the tide slowly receded into the sea.

When they came to their senses, two figures were lying on the soft and wet beach, staring at the completely dark night sky, and the waves gently passed over their heads.

After a while, the two slowly turned their heads, looked at each other, and smiled gently.

"Let's go home."

"Yeah."

Not long after, the two wet figures took the subway back home, attracting strange looks from passers-by. The slightly swaying carriage projected cold-toned lights.

The two sat together, their wet shoulders touching, in silence. The carriage was filled with the smell of disinfectant, and the air conditioner above was very cold, blowing Ke Mingye to sneeze.

He scratched the tip of his nose with his hand, and his nose was red.

"I have something to tell you after we get off the train..." The girl leaned on his shoulder and closed her eyes.

"Can't you tell me now?"

"No."

"Oh."

When the train arrived at the Laojingmai District, Ke Mingye and Bai Zini got off the train side by side.

Holding hands, they walked through the bustling crowd and walked out of the subway station. The smell of mothballs and disinfectant at the tip of their noses suddenly dissipated, replaced by fresh air.

In the gradually thick night, it was so quiet that the cicadas in the trees could be heard. They walked slowly on the way home, and there were children playing with fluorescent sticks in the dim lights.

A "ding" reminder sound came, and Bai Zini looked down at her mobile phone.

"A message from my mother?" Ke Mingye asked.

"It's from my second brother. He asked where we were."

Bai Zini replied to her second brother's message while talking. She sent a photo with Ke Mingye, saying that she was with her third brother, so that her second brother didn't have to worry.

At home, after receiving the message, Ke Xiaomo took a look at the photo and breathed a sigh of relief. He thought, since Mingye and Xiaoni are together, he shouldn't suddenly put on a combat uniform and run around, right?

So he ignored them and continued to sit by the window sill and read the ancient book.

"So... what did you just say on the subway?" Ke Mingye asked as he walked.

Bai Zini was silent.

Suddenly, she took Ke Mingye's hand and led him into an empty alley, and then, like a magic trick, she suddenly took out a crudely made folding umbrella from behind.

"You still have an umbrella?"

Bai Zini still didn't speak. She slowly let go of Ke Mingye's hand and took a step back.

Then, starting from the umbrella handle, the hazy cocoon light poured in like a tide, gradually expanding from her slender palm to her wrist, spreading to her shoulders, and then slowly covering her whole body, trapping her like a butterfly about to break out of its cocoon.

Ke Mingye looked at this scene and slightly widened his eyes.

The next moment, as the figure shrouded in the cocoon light gently lifted the hair at the root of the ear, the hazy light shattered like a dead tree.

Then, a girl in a Gothic dress appeared in his pupils.

Ke Mingye stood there in a daze, muttering to himself.

"Is this true or not..."

While speaking, the magic girl Huijin slowly raised her eyes, her eyes were like a clear spring under the moonlight, bright and clear.

She gently lowered her head, avoiding Ke Mingye's gaze, and her ears turned red.

"You are still talking about me, obviously you are..."

Before Ke Mingye finished speaking, he was interrupted by the cold touch from his palm. The girl in the Gothic skirt held her hand, raised the magic umbrella Cinderella, and opened the graceful and magnificent umbrella to the night sky. The pattern connected by thorns shone brightly in the moonlight.

The next moment, the magic ripples spread in the air like a group of blooming flowers, carrying the girl and the boy up to the night sky, reaching the clouds.

After a while, one of the viaducts around Beijing.

The girl holding an umbrella slowly descended and landed on the top of a high-speed train. The strong wind over the city blew her snow-white cheeks. The black hair fluttered in the moonlight, and the gray ribbon on her head drifted into the distance.

She lowered her eyes and slowly let go of Ke Mingye's hand.

Ke Mingye subconsciously took two steps back. He opened his mouth slightly, but couldn't say a word. His hair was messy and deformed by the wind. His expression was a little lost.

His figure was like a tumbler, swaying slightly on the high-speed moving train.

Under the moonlight, the two stood on the top of the white high-speed train, and gradually went away with it over the city. No neon light touched their figures, as if they were isolated from the world.

After a while, the magic girl Huijin walked to the edge of the train without saying a word.

She slowly leaned down and sat on the top of the train. Then he put the magic umbrella Cinderella beside him, hugged his knees, raised his eyes as clear as the aurora, and looked at the sky in the distance.

Ke Mingye was stunned for a long time before he slowly came back to his senses. He turned sideways, took two steps forward, hesitated for a while, and sat down on the top of the train like her.

The two of them looked into the distance, and the brightly lit city was disappearing in their sight.

The top of the carriage was shaking gently, and the "clang clang" took them to the distance, as if they were escaping to another corner of the world.

"This is what I want to tell you..." The girl said softly, and the gray ribbon and black hair fluttered in the wind.

"Then you still have the nerve to say that to me."

"I have many enemies, and I'm afraid you'll be implicated... I wanted to tell you many times, but I gave up."

"Does anyone else in the family know?"

"No..." The girl in the Gothic skirt paused and said softly, "I only told you."

"Should I ask you now?"

"Ask."

"When did it start?"

"A long, long time ago..."
