Superman's End Manual

Superman's End Manual

Author: Rain Falls at Dusk

Summary:

Ke Mingye accidentally gained the ability to read identities, and soon discovered that his family members were composed of extremely complex backgrounds, with each seemingly ordinary family member actually harboring their own secret identities:

—"Superheroes," "Magical Girls," "Ninjas," "Aliens," "Vampires," "Employees of the Anomaly Control Bureau," "Young Dragons," "Divine Interventionists"...

Day and night, each family member tried their best to keep their secret identity, so they lived each day in an unusually mysterious manner, trying their best to act like an ordinary person in front of anyone.

But the identities they desperately tried to hide were nothing more than a string of data on a player's panel in Ke Mingye's eyes.

Just as Ke Mingye was lamenting that there wasn't a single normal person in his family, he received a main quest from the game system...

— "Extinction of superhumans".

"Exterminate...exterminate superhumans?"

Ke Mingye, sitting at the dining table, was stunned for a long time. With chopsticks in his mouth, he turned his head and looked around at the superhumans in the room, thinking to himself, "This is really a ridiculously outrageous display of filial piety."

Chapter 1 Home with Kids

"There have been quite a few cases of superhuman crimes lately, so please be careful on your way to and from school and keep in touch with your younger siblings. Also, don't wander around the streets after school; go home as soon as possible."

The middle-aged man sitting across the table picked up a pair of chopsticks and calmly gave instructions.

Hearing this, Ke Mingye looked up from his phone screen and gave the man a helpless look. "I know, Dad, how many times have you said that?" he said, drawing out the words.

The moment his gaze fell on the middle-aged man, he saw a panel appear above the man's head.

Name: Ke Youqing

[Age: 45 years old]

【Sex: Male】

[Strength: A+ (Possesses top-tier combat power far exceeding 90% of the world's superhumans)]

[Hidden Identity: Raven the Outcast (Ranked No. 7 in the Superhero Association, one of the five giants of the Superhero Roundtable)]

[Note: Only in China is the term "异侠" (yìxiá) used to refer to extraordinary individuals in official positions; in other countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom, this profession is commonly known as "superhero."]

"Are your eldest and second eldest brothers on holiday from university?"

As Ke Youqing spoke, he took the food his wife handed him and glanced up at Ke Mingye.

“They’ve all been released. My eldest brother sent a message saying he’ll be back by high-speed rail in a couple of days, and my second brother said the same thing.”

Ke Mingye picked up a piece of braised pork with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth, chewing the pork while giving a mumbled reply.

Ke Youqing was silent for a moment: "Since they're on holiday, let them come back early. It's not very safe outside lately, but it's safe at home." After saying that, he picked up a piece of spicy tofu, mixed it with rice, and put it in his mouth.

"Row."

Ke Mingye gave a casual reply and lowered his head to continue playing on his phone.

"Old Qing, you're just too neurotic. Can you please stop scaring the kids?"

The sound came from the kitchen sink. A woman wearing gloves and a kitchen apron was washing dishes while sighing and scolding.

Ke Mingye glanced at her. This was his mother, or more precisely, the mother of this body. Like his father, a panel slowly appeared above his mother's head.

Name: Bai Wenna

[Age: 43 years old]

Gender: Unknown (Non-human species, no fixed sexual characteristics)

[Strength: Unknown (Possibly exceeding the upper limit of Earth's species)]

[Hidden Identity: An alien spy from "Fanggongta Star," disguised as a human, who has been infiltrating Earth for a long time, continuously providing the Fangongta Star people with the basic data needed for their invasion of Earth.]

Based on your current situation, a crucial emergency side mission has been devised: "Approach Bai Wenna under a disguise to delay the 'extraterrestrial colonists' attack on Earth as much as possible."

(The difficulty of this side quest is initially estimated to be SSS level.)

[WARNING: The success or failure of this task will severely impact future developments. Please proceed with caution.]

"That's terrifying, really. Women are definitely not to be messed with..."

Ke Mingye, with chopsticks in his mouth, silently grumbled to himself, not even daring to glance at Bai Wenna, who was washing dishes.

Ke Youqing turned to Bai Wenna and said, "Stop nagging me. You should come and eat. Otherwise, the food will get cold, and you can leave the dishes for the kids to wash."

Bai Wenna sneered: "Wow, I don't know who said they were going to wash them yesterday, but when I went out, I found all the dirty dishes piled up in the sink."

“That was an accident,” Ke Youqing paused for a moment, “He’s getting old, and his memory isn’t very good.”

Listening to their conversation, Ke Mingye shrugged. He knew it wasn't an accident. Last night, a superhuman crime suddenly broke out in the central urban area surrounding Beijing. At that time, Ke Youqing was washing dishes in the kitchen. After hearing the news, he immediately put down the dishes, wiped his hands, and went out without saying a word.

Nobody knew what he was doing. His sister, "Bai Zini," even said disdainfully that their father must have been having a craving for cigarettes. He was washing the dishes when he ran downstairs to the supermarket to buy cigarettes, which was not normal for him.

All Ke Mingye knew was that last night's incident was resolved by a "superhuman" who arrived just in time. There were no casualties, and all the superhumans involved were sent to prison.

Ke Youqing thought he had hidden it well. When he returned, he was clutching a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes and had a cigarette dangling from his mouth. This prompted his sister to point at him and exclaim, "See? I knew Dad must have gone to buy cigarettes!"

But in Ke Mingye's eyes, the identities of everyone in the family are completely transparent to him, so this kind of concealment is meaningless.

"Okay, okay, it's an accident, an accident." Bai Wenna washed her hands, took off her apron, picked up a pair of chopsticks, walked to the dining table, sat down to Mingye's right, and said to him, "Go and call your sister down to eat."

"They won't come down; they're all playing on their phones. They'll come down when they're hungry."

Ke Mingye picked up a piece of meat from his bowl and replied listlessly.

"You have to call them even if they don't want to." Bai Wenna got angrier and angrier as she spoke, and turned to Ke Youqing and shouted, "Look at you as a father! This is what happens when you spoil them. They're all so pampered that they're nowhere to be seen at mealtimes. They only come down to eat when the food gets cold!"

Ke Youqing sighed and put down his chopsticks on the table. "Alright, I'll go call them." He said, slowly getting up from his chair and walking towards the stairwell.

Bai Wenna snorted, rested her chin on her hand, and used her other hand to pick up a piece of pork rib with chopsticks and put it into her bowl.

Something's not right. Should I warn the two girls upstairs...?

Ke Mingye glanced at Ke Youqing's back and thought to himself.

Then, taking advantage of his mother's inattention, he exited the short video app he was scrolling through on his phone and opened WeChat. He entered a family group chat called "Mutual Help Family," which had seven people in total—all his siblings except for his parents.

He held his chopsticks in his mouth, lowered his eyes, and sent a message in the group chat with his other hand: "Dad is going upstairs to call you. If you don't want to get scolded, come down for dinner."

No sooner had I sent the message than a series of "crackling" and "dinging" sounds came from the second floor.

Immediately afterward, his two younger sisters tumbled down the stairs as if they hadn't seen him, skipped right past their father standing at the top of the stairs, grabbed a pair of chopsticks and a bowl from the cupboard, and went to the dining table. Each of them moved with increasing agility, like two little rabbits carrying carrots.

Ke Youqing stood at the top of the stairs with his hands on his hips, looking at the two little brats, and helplessly rubbed the stubble on his lip. "You two know what's good for you."

Ke Mingye put away his phone and looked at his two younger sisters, who were squeezed to his left and right.

Sitting on his left is his younger sister, Bai Zini. She has shoulder-length hair and a pretty, delicate face. She's still wearing her middle school uniform. Every year when it's time to visit relatives, Bai Zini always gets comments like, "Our little girl is growing more and more beautiful. She'll definitely be a great beauty in the future."

Name: Bai Zini

[Age: 14 years old]

【Gender: Female】

[Strength: B+ (Absolute elite among superhumans)]

[Hidden Identity: She has been active in China for a long time as "Magical Girl Ashes," and is also one of the core members of the "Magical Girl Alliance."]

Bai Zini took a bite of rice, looked down at her phone and typed, quietly posting in the "Mutual Help Family Group".

"Thanks for coming to my rescue, bro," she typed.

Ke Mingye typed in the group chat: "You're welcome. Can you cover my leg for me later? Just go downstairs to the supermarket and buy me two drinks."

Bai Zini replied with an emoji, an angry panda with puffed-out cheeks.

Ke Mingye put away his phone, turned his head slightly, and glanced at his second sister, "Bai Ziling," who was sitting silently to his right. Her face was very similar to "Bai Zini," or rather, their features were almost identical, as if they were finished products sculpted by God from the same template.

Yes, they are twins.

But aside from their facial features, there are many differences between Bai Ziling and Bai Zini. For example, Bai Ziling's light white hair, which falls behind her head, is like a white fir tree in winter; her pupils are also a strange red, unlike those of ordinary people; and her pale skin is like a specimen, without a trace of blood.

"Albinism" is the biggest difference between Bai Ziling and Bai Zini. Also affected by albinism, her personality is much more indifferent and less lively than her sister's.

Name: Bai Ziling

[Age: 14 years old]

【Gender: Female】

[Strength: A- Rank (Possesses top-tier combat power far exceeding 90% of the world's superhumans)]

[Hidden identity: "Vampire," also known as "blood clan."]

Bai Ziling suddenly nudged Ke Mingye's shoulder and whispered, "Brother, could you sign this for me?"

"sign?"

Ke Mingye, with a piece of tempura shrimp in his mouth, looked at his sister with a puzzled expression.

“I failed the physics test, and my mom will scold me if I ask her to sign it,” Bai Ziling replied immediately.

As soon as she finished speaking, a panel popped up in front of Ke Mingye's eyes.

[Event Analysis: "Vampires" possess an extremely unique talent in "spatial cognition," but in their early development, this talent can actually prevent them from properly perceiving certain spatial structures.]
