Superman's Ending Manual

On October 26th, there are five days left until the "Witch's Night" arrives.

Ke Mingye opened his eyes and slowly woke up from the bed.

The morning breeze blew gently, and the shadows of the curtains swayed mottled on the wooden floor. From the street adjacent to the apartment came the shouts of the bean curd vendors, mixed with one or two dog barks. This morning seemed as pleasant as every day in the past.

He rubbed Tianming's point and lowered his eyes slightly. A black cat could be vaguely seen behind the curtains.

Yuriko slipped into the room at some point and was lying on the cushion in the corner of the bookshelf, soundly asleep.

Ke Mingye stared at Yuriko, yawned, and released the "Animal Communication Technique".

Then asked it: "Can you please stop sneaking into my room to sleep? I really want to kick you away."

Yuriko licked her paws and lay motionless on the mat, "I want to hide from that lunatic named 'Kobe'. It's your honor to sleep here."

"Yes, yes..."

Ke Mingye murmured carelessly, lowered his head to put on his slippers, and opened the door with his messy hair.

When she raised her eyes, she saw Bai Qiuwu standing outside. Her right hand was hanging in the air, and she seemed to be about to knock on the door, with a slightly strange expression on her face.

"What's wrong, sister?" He scratched his head.

"Dad...he hasn't been back since last night, and I can't get through on the phone."

"Dad?"

Ke Mingye tilted his head.

He thought to himself: If there is anyone in the world who can force his father to go home and not even have time to make a call back, it is the clock customer.

So he yawned and said in a lazy tone: "As for my father's peeing, he probably accidentally drank too much during the social gathering, so he went to his colleague's house to rest. I'll call him on his phone after a few hours." , is it necessary to be so worried?”

Bai Qiuwu shook his head, hugged his right elbow and whispered, "Dad never drinks. Whenever something happens and he cannot come back at night, he will report it to his mother instead of just disappearing without saying a word. . I'm worried something really happened to him."

"You and Mom just think too much. Dad has always disappeared inexplicably since we were young, and this time is not missing."

As he spoke, Ke Mingye put his hands into the pockets of his cotton-padded jacket, took a breath, and rubbed his palms, "I'm going to have breakfast. Just wait and see if I'm right."

After saying that, he closed the door behind him.

Just as she was about to move past Bai Qiuwu, she called out to him.

"I don't think it's okay if I'm alone with my father, but this morning my mother knocked on the door and asked Xiaoni to get up for dinner. She found that Xiaoni's room was locked, and she couldn't wake her up no matter how she called. Finally, when she opened the door with the key, she found that Xiaoni was not there. in the room."

Hearing this, Ke Mingye was startled and stopped slowly, as if falling into an ice cave.

He quickly turned his head and met Bai Qiuwu's eyes.

"Then where could she be...the door to the room on the second floor cannot be locked from the outside."

"When mom entered the room, the French window was open."

At this time, Bai Qiuwu also felt a little uneasy. She had been reminded by strange things that there was a group of witches who were eyeing Xiao Ni, but there was no movement after so long, so she didn't pay much attention. If the two are connected, it would be troublesome.

Ke Mingye stood there in silence for a moment.

"I'll ask mom."

With that said, he went downstairs without even washing his face, and looked sideways at the corner of the living room.

Bavanna was holding the phone receiver between her shoulder and her ear, mumbling something to the other side of the phone. Seeing Mingye, she quickly let go of the phone and asked Mingye loudly: "Mingye, have you seen Xiaoni today?!"

"No." Ke Mingye shook his head, "But she couldn't sleep last night, and she was chatting with me on the rooftop." He paused, "Dad hasn't come back yet?"

"Stop talking—! Your dad didn't come home last night. I didn't know how many calls I made to him from last night to early this morning but he didn't answer. What on earth did you say was going on all day long? ?" Bavanna sighed.

Ke Mingye looked at Bavenna, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and said sarcastically in his heart, "Don't you have to ask yourself, all you can think about is your alien colonization mission. With your ability, how could you not know that Xiaoni was sneaking away alone in the middle of the night? If you go out, how can you not know where dad has gone..."

Thinking this way, he felt slightly irritable.

"Where are the eldest brother and second brother? Have you asked?" He took a breath and then asked.

"I called and asked, but they all said that Dad and Xiaoni had not contacted them."

"I understand...Mom, don't worry, I'll go out and look for it."

Ke Mingye said as he walked quickly to the entrance, leaned against the shoe cabinet and put on his sneakers, then turned the door handle and pushed open the door.

It was frighteningly cold in Beijing in October. Just by squeezing open a crack in the door, the chilly air hit my face. The walkway was covered with snow, and the potted plants that the neighbor had left alone were almost submerged in the snow. A cold wind whistled over the old Jingmai neighborhood.

"Dad, don't worry about it for now...it's absolutely safe with his strength. Think about where Bai Zini went first."

Ke Mingye did not wait for the elevator to go up, but walked quickly down the escape stairs, thinking in his mind.

"Anyway, ask those magical girls first."

At this moment, Ke Xiaomo's room is on the second floor.

Listening to the noisy voices coming from downstairs, Shi Naian and You Minglu looked at each other.

Schnaian raised his hand and rubbed the dark circles under his eyes, "So, senior is really missing?"

"Well, do you have any clues?" You Minglu stared at the phone, his pupils reflecting the fluorescence.

She put down her phone and continued: "I sent a lot of messages to my senior, but she didn't reply to any of them, and the phone couldn't get through."

Schnaian hugged his knees, shook his head and said, "Me neither. Maybe I'm just upset and want to go out for a walk. Don't make too much of a fuss."

You Minglu said expressionlessly: "From what they said, it seems that senior's father has disappeared, and then senior has disappeared since he woke up early this morning, so senior's mother is a little worried."

Schnaian said sadly: "This kind of thing happens all the time. Family quarrels and so on. My parents often quarrel."

As she spoke, she yawned, with sleepy tears in her eyes, and her hair was messy, "Why don't you ask Teacher Xi Ziyue? I feel like they might have secretly had a meeting."

You Minglu shook his head, "I've already asked, but Teacher Xi Ziyue didn't reply to me."

"Then he probably hasn't woken up yet."

"Let's go downstairs and take a look."

"Um."

The two looked at each other and came downstairs.

Seeing the two of them, Bavanna immediately asked: "Hey, classmates, do you have any news about Xiaoni?"

They shook their heads.

You Minglu thought for a moment and said, "Auntie, don't worry, we'll go to the school and ask. She should be fine."

"Then you go ask and tell me if you have any news." Ke Mingye said, "I'll look for it in another place."

Hearing this, You Minglu and Schnaian nodded. They left the house, took the elevator to the bottom floor, then transformed into magical girls and arrived at Yandai Elementary School as quickly as possible. After a short walk, I entered the classroom on the fifth floor of the teaching building.

At this time, except for the Soul Bell Boy, the other magical girls who came from foreign countries have gathered here.

Little Red Riding Hood and Schnaian looked at each other, and then introduced the situation to several magical girls waiting in the classroom.

"Teacher Ashes is missing, at this point?" Magical girl Kujue Sakura raised her eyebrows slightly, obviously worried.

"Don't worry, Miss. Maybe Teacher Hui Jing suddenly had something on her mind and went to be alone." The magical girl Liu Huazi said calmly while eating rice balls.

"Little Red Riding Hood... before the Witch's Night comes, how about you accompany me to the amusement park?" The magical girl Yuya leaned close to Little Red Riding Hood's ear and whispered in Icelandic, pointing to the Ferris wheel outside the window.

Little Red Riding Hood refused: "Sorry, I'm not free."

Qili lowered the brim of her cowboy hat and said in a deep voice, "I have contacted Xi Ziyue, but she didn't reply."

"Is Teacher Xi Ziyue sleeping?" Magic Girl Hong asked in a low voice.

"At this point, probably."

Beside her, Kaede nodded.

Jiuzhongying shook her head, "No, Teacher Xi Ziyue just sent me a message telling me that she is currently having a meeting in the Alliance Building, and a 'big shot' came to her door, so she doesn't have time to meet with us for the time being. I..."

Hearing this, Qili raised her eyes from under the brim of her cowboy hat and stared into Kunou Sakura's eyes.

She asked: "Big shot? What kind of big shot? Xi Ziyue didn't even notify us."

"I don't know either." Kujue Sakura said.

"I don't know the specific situation, but do we need to go there now?" Yuya lifted her light golden hair and asked expressionlessly.

"No..." Kuzhong Sakura whispered, "Since Teacher Xi Ziyue didn't call us, it means we don't need to be there. We can just wait here for a while."

Hearing this, Little Red Riding Hood and Schnaier looked at each other quietly.

"Then we can only wait." Schnaian whispered.

"Hmm..." Little Red Riding Hood thought thoughtfully.

At the same time, the central conference room on the 30th floor of the Magical Girls Alliance Building.

Judge Black walked slowly into the conference room, and the metal door behind him closed.

He lowered his face slightly, and an evil red light flashed above the V-shaped mask.

After a moment of silence, he slowly raised his eyes to look at the three figures sitting at the conference table.

These three people are Xi Ziyue and Lilai among the three magical girls, and Yuffie from Denmark.

Xi Ziyue is still wearing a light blue cheongsam. Today she does not have a bun, but has medium-length and short black hair.

Lilai was wearing an ice blue pleated skirt. She held her cheek with her right hand and lowered her ice blue eyes thoughtfully.

Yuffie still had medium-long dark purple hair and was wrapped in a dark purple dress. She lowered her head slightly, entangled the fingers of her hands, and her eyes moved, as if she had something on her mind.

The moment he saw Yuffie, Judge Black showed a hint of surprise in his eyes, as if he didn't expect to see her here.

The moment she raised her head and saw the black judge, Yuffie was not surprised. Instead, her eyes lit up as if she had been expecting him for a long time. She stared at Judge Black for a while, then slowly lowered her head, her face slightly red, like a frightened deer.

She raised her head again and opened her mouth to say something, but Judge Hei had already looked away from her and looked at Xi Ziyue.

Xi Ziyue took a sip of hot tea and lowered her eyes. The face reflected on the tea was obviously a little absent-minded. She asked: "Mr. Judge is so anxious to arrange a meeting with us, and even specially booked a flight to come from New York. Why?"

"I'm here to find someone... the magical girl Ember."

The black judge pulled up his gloves, and a magnetic voice came from behind the V-shaped mask.

As soon as he finished speaking, the metal door of the conference room suddenly opened, and someone came outside.

Looking sideways, I saw staff in uniforms. The staff member was obviously a little nervous and said tremblingly: "Ms. Xi Ziyue, the very popular superhero recently asked to see you, saying that if he doesn't see you, he will cause trouble."

Xi Ziyue raised her eyes from the tea and remained silent for a while.

Lilai on the side raised her ice-blue eyes and said calmly: "Ask him to come up. Mr. Judge is also here. I'll listen to what he wants to do."

Judge Black tilted his head, with a hint of impatience in his tone, "If it were normal times, I would be very interested in interrogating these unruly superheroes, but I don't have time now."

Lilai looked directly at his V-shaped mask and said coldly: "You just heard it, this is an emergency. If we don't deal with it immediately, will we still have to let that superhero make a big fuss here? "

Judge Black was silent and sat on the swivel chair next to the conference table. The elbows of his hands were pressed against the handles of the chair. The coldness in his eyes behind the mask deepened.

Not long after, the metal door of the conference room opened again.

The black judge tilted his head slightly and looked at the superhero who came at the wrong time from the corner of his eye. If necessary, he would use his authority to make the superhero go away temporarily, or use a more direct method to end it. way to tell him to "shut up".

However, after seeing the uninvited guest clearly, Judge Black was slightly startled - he saw that the visitor was wearing a set of red and blue battle uniforms with a very metallic texture, a bird's beak mask on his head, and his eyes behind the lenses were expressionless. Concealed hostility.

The blue owl and the black judge looked at each other.

Judge Black was silent.

The blue owl was also silent.

The two looked at each other, and then Judge Black took the lead in retracting his gaze and sighed lightly for some unknown reason.

"...Who is this person?"

The blue owl walked forward, raised his finger to the black judge, and asked the three magical girls.

Xi Ziyue and Lilai were about to answer, but another magical girl took the lead.

"He is the 'Black Judge' of the Control Bureau, and he is also my boyfriend." Yuffie said, her cheeks slightly red, "To be precise, we will not confirm our relationship until one year from now."

Hearing this, Judge Black raised his hand slightly to hold his mask, and took a breath, as if he didn't want to respond.

Xi Ziyue put down the teacup and looked at the blue owl calmly.

She asked: "I know you, Mr. Blue Owl, is there anything important that requires you to come to our side?"

Blue Owl stared at her through the lenses, "I'm looking for someone...Magical Girl Ashes."

Lilai frowned slightly, looked at the blue owl, and then looked at the black judge.

Blue Owl's words were exactly the same as Judge Black's, and his tone was also cold, just like a pair of brothers who had grown up together.

Xi Ziyue was silent for a moment and then said, "Although I don't know what your relationship is with Ashes, there is one thing I can tell you."

As she spoke, she paused for a moment, "I left two cards in the magical girl Ashes' magic book. The first card can tell me where she is; and the second card, It is possible to save her life 100% when she encounters a life-threatening danger.”

"Then where is she now?" "Then where is she?"

Blue Owl and Black Judge asked in unison. After they blurted out, they looked at each other strangely.

Xi Ziyue said: "Unfortunately, I tried to sense the first card I just mentioned, but that card did not tell me the location of the ashes... This is the first time I have encountered this situation."

Blue Owl was silent for a moment, and his tone was slightly gloomy: "In other words...even you don't know where she is?"

"Yes, but as far as the current situation is concerned, at least I can be sure that the ability of the second card I left with her has not been triggered." Xi Ziyue said calmly, "In other words, Ashes has no life for the time being. Danger."

"But it sounds like your card can only protect her for a short time, doesn't it?" Blue Owl said, "Since we can't know her location, she will still be in danger when the effect of the card wears off."

Xi Ziyue retorted, "No... once the second card's ability is triggered, it can also play the role of the first card - no matter where the triggering effect is located in the world, I can immediately Find where the ashes are and support them as quickly as possible.”

She paused, held up the tea cup, and looked up at the blue owl: "Please believe me."

The blue owl was silent.

Judge Hei looked directly at Xi Ziyue and said word by word: "How can you guarantee it?"

Xi Ziyue said calmly: "Then I promise you here that if the magical girl Ashes cannot come back safely, then I will immediately resign as the president of the China Alliance and will no longer engage in any work related to magical girls in the future."

Lilai was slightly startled, and her right hand holding her cheek drooped downwards. But after turning her head and looking at Xi Ziyue's expression, she just looked away, frowned and remained silent.

Deathly silence briefly enveloped the conference room. After a while, someone spoke to break the silence.

"You said..."

Blue Owl spoke slowly, lowering his face, his eyes cold, "Said you will protect her."

Xi Ziyue was silent for a while: "It seems that you and Miss Ashes should have a good relationship, otherwise I wouldn't know about this from her... I did promise to protect her, and I will keep my promise. Although I don’t know what your specific relationship is, but——”

"She is...my sister."

Blue Owl whispered, interrupting her.

Hearing this, the three magical girls present were slightly startled. Only Judge Black lowered his mask and sighed inaudibly, thinking that this kid is still so impulsive.

The one who reacted the most was Lilai, who was holding her chin with one hand.

She raised her head, her icy blue eyes reflected the figure of the blue owl, thinking to herself that Xiaoni actually has a brother who is a superhero?

"Yeah, no wonder..."

Xi Ziyue pondered.

She fell silent for a moment, seemingly unwilling to communicate with the two of them anymore.

Lilai sighed and spoke on her behalf: "I don't have time to confirm the truth of what you said, but no matter what relationship you have with her, the result will not change. I bet on the reputation of the three giants of the Alliance, and finally declare it on behalf of Xi Ziyue Once again, Magical Girl Ashes will never be in danger, please rest assured..."

Seeing that the black judge and the blue owl did not respond, she continued: "Then we also have our own matters to deal with. This meeting ends here. Please go back. Any more unnecessary entanglement here will only waste each other's time. "

Lilai spoke in an official accent, and the next moment the roaring sound of the engine tore through everyone's ears and exploded in the conference room.

Xi Ziyue boarded the space-time train, her black hair fluttering in the wind.

Seeing this, Lilai also got up and followed her. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly stopped on the gangway.

"Don't you want to leave?" Lilai asked in an indifferent tone, looking sideways at Yuffie who was still sitting in her seat.

Yuffie raised her eyes and looked at the black judge, with a shy expression on her face, and said softly, "Mr. Judge, we'll see you next time."

Seeing that Judge Black remained silent, she stood up from her seat and boarded the train carriage with Lilai. Immediately with a roar, the train was sucked into the vortex of time and space.

The rift in time and space slowly closed, and then a deathly silence enveloped the only two people left in the conference room again.

Judge Black was silent.

The blue owl was also silent.

Although the expressions under the masks could not be seen clearly, their expressions were obviously slightly gloomy.

Judge Black put his elbow on the handle of the chair, thinking: "Even Mingye and Xi Ziyue don't know where Xiaoni is, so they can only wait and see what happens... Then where is daddy? Could it be that he is also involved in the dispute between the witch and the magical girl? How could he be just an ordinary person? "

After pondering for a moment, the black judge looked sideways at the blue owl, and a magnetic voice came from behind the V-shaped mask.

"She'll be fine..."

After the words fell, Judge Black stood up slowly and walked out of the conference room. The tail of his swallow-tailed windbreaker dragged a sickle-like shadow on the ground.

Finally, the blue owl stood alone in the center of the conference room.

He took a deep breath and thought: "Since Xi Ziyue didn't know where the ashes were even after using the positioning card left in advance, there is only one possibility. Just like when I tried to use anchor sunglasses before, that time, I haven’t been able to locate the meeting space of the Witch Church, but how could she be there..."

Thinking this, he slowly raised his eyes, "No matter what, we can only rely on Schnaian."
