Superman's End Manual

He Jiali was leaning against the wall, her eyes closed in deep thought, as if waiting for someone.

A short while later, a family of three slowly walked over from nearby: parents with a child. They seemed to be looking for a public restroom and had just asked a passerby for directions.

"Will there be a toilet in a place like this?" the father muttered.

"Dad, was that person lying to us?" the child asked.

"If there's nothing there, then let's go," the mother said.

As the three were talking, Gastro controlled He Jiali to move and slowly block their way.

The next moment, He Jiali suddenly clutched her stomach and spat out three slippery, dark worms from her mouth with a ferocious expression.

Immediately afterwards, the three worms twitched on the dirty ground for a while, like goldfish splashing on the surface of water, and then wriggled at an unbelievable speed, crawling towards the three dumbfounded people, burrowing into their trouser legs, climbing up their legs, passing through their abdomens, chests, and necks, and finally moving to their lips.

No matter how quickly they reacted or how fiercely they resisted, the insects still managed to pry open their tightly closed mouths, slide inside, and then descend down their throats into their bodies.

So the family of three each swallowed a black worm, and a nauseating, slippery, strange sound came from their throats.

He Jiali tilted her head and quietly watched them.

Their eyes gradually lost their focus, and they stood there like puppets with broken strings, waiting for He Jiali's instructions.

He Jiali ordered the worms inside them: "Go out, and then temporarily return the right to use your body to them."

As soon as the words were spoken, the three slowly turned around and walked out of the desolate corner like zombies, entering the bustling street. Then their eyes regained their original light.

They stood there, staring at each other, their expressions bewildered and blank.

"What just happened to us?" the father, one of the three, asked hoarsely.

"I don't know." The child shook his head.

"It seems like they're looking for a public restroom?" The mother's expression was dazed.

Ke Mingye silently observed this scene through the strange thing's eyes, pondering in his mind.

"Using insects to control other people's skills, I wonder if the number of these insects is finite or infinite."

"But judging from the number of participants in that march, Gastro could have multiplied at least a hundred worms, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to control so many passersby."

"If these insects can keep multiplying, that would be outrageous... Gastro could use this skill to incite a large-scale riot around Beijing."

Thinking this, the strange thing released its spider web and fell from the eaves of the abandoned tavern, stepping into the alley.

Hearing the noise, He Jiali slowly turned her head.

At the same time, through He Jiali's vision, Gastro saw the figure of the strange thing, and the information panel of this person appeared in his pupils.

[Character Code Name: Dice Monster/Strange Thing]

[Danger Level: D]

[Character Introduction: A minor villain of unknown origin, seemingly possessing supernatural abilities triggered by dice.]

A superhuman race without names?

Gastro stared at the text on the panel, slightly surprised, then used the insects to control He Jiali's body and asked, "You are... that dice monster?"

The strange thing put its hands on its hips and spoke in a domineering, irritating tone.

"I thought you hadn't even heard of my name. That's right... I am the most famous supervillain in the Beijing area right now, Mr. Dice—the weirdo."

Gastro asked, "What do you want from me? You can't possibly be looking for the original owner of this body, can you? If that's the case, I can let her out so you can have a chat."

"No." The strange thing shook its head, saying sarcastically, "I'm looking for you, you despicable little man who likes to control other people's bodies while hiding behind the scenes."

Gastro smiled and said, "If that's the case, then you're no different either?"

She paused for a moment: "In my memory, there are rumors that you have died many times, but you have been able to come back to life every time. This means that you are not a real person, but something like a robot or a puppet."

"Enough with the nonsense," the strange thing said bluntly. "Let's get down to business."

"What's the matter?"

The strange creature lowered its face, its empty eyes staring at Gastro, and said slowly, "This city is my territory, and I would like to ask you to get out."

“I’m very sorry, but I have reasons for having to stay here,” Gastro replied.

“I know. Strange things know everything. You’re looking for a ‘player who’s hiding a vampire in their house,’ right?”

Gastro raised an eyebrow, tilted his head, and asked, "Oh, so it seems you know that player called Spider Man. Did he tell you about this?"

She thought to herself, since the Dice Monster displays a superhuman panel, it can't be a player, since players don't have panels appearing above their heads...

The only way the Dice Monster would know about this is by finding out from the Spider Man.

Gastry never expected that no sooner had she left that open-air café than the Spider Man would hand over the information she had provided to such a villain of unknown origin.

too weird.

"No, no, no, Mr. Strange Things has no stance and doesn't want to be associated with such low-level things as 'players.' I know about this because I know everything about this city."

The strange thing paused, then changed the subject: "I can help you find that player, as long as you meet my requirements."

As it spoke, it suddenly turned its head and saw a group of office workers with empty eyes and ferocious faces slowly pouring into the alley and surrounding it—these people must all be Gastro's puppets.

Gastro sneered, "You said you'd help me find that player, but wouldn't it be faster for me to just capture you directly? Do you think I'm that easy to fool?"

The strange thing remained unperturbed, its tone mocking: "Let me put it this way, catching me is useless, and you can't catch me either."

"That's true. It seems even the crow couldn't catch you, let alone me."

Despite saying this, Gastro still didn't stop the puppets controlled by the insects from entering the alley, seemingly putting pressure on the strange creature.

"Right?" The strange thing grinned. "But if you do one thing for me, I'll tell you where that player is."

"what's up?"

"I'm a weirdo, and I have a really annoying person... This person is called 'Blue Owl'."

"Blue Owl? You mean that vigilante dressed like an owl?"

Gastro muttered to herself, thinking that she had seen the Blue Owl once yesterday morning when she had led those hundred people in a riotous march in the city.

At that time, Blue Owl was hanging out with several magical girls, and it was they who worked together to defeat Gastro's more than one hundred puppets.

"Yes, it was that damn red and blue owl. I wanted to be his friend, but he ignored me... trampled my dignity underfoot."

The strange thing spoke in a gloomy tone.

The crowd controlled by the insects slowly approached from behind, their footsteps sounding like a tidal wave, almost engulfing its frail figure.

“So, what do you want me to do?” Gastro asked.

The sunlight streaming into the alley was gradually obscured by the gathering crowd of people. An endlessly long shadow enveloped the entire alley, as if day and night had suddenly shifted.

The strange thing remained calmly standing in the shadows, slowly raising its hands and speaking in a low, eerie tone.

“I want you… to help me kill this guy called ‘Blue Owl,’ and then bring me his head.”

Chapter 154 The Black Judge's Latest Mission

July 8th, 11:05 AM, Yandai Commercial Street, in a damp and cramped corner.

The crowd on the street suddenly surged forward, pouring in through the narrow entrance like a horde of zombies, step by step approaching the back of the dice monster.

However, the strange creature completely ignored the wailing and howling behind it and focused all its attention on Gastro directly in front of it.

"Have you thought about it?"

It tilted its head and asked slowly.

Gastro asked, enunciating each word clearly, "Instead of being so eager to get me to do things, why don't you tell me first, who exactly are you?"

The strange thing slowly said, "A villain who does it for fun."

As he was speaking, the brainwashed crowd behind him was already reaching out to grab his back, the distance between them almost inches.

"This is truly baffling," Gastro remarked.

“Let me reiterate one last time,” the strange thing said slowly, lowering its face, “as long as you bring me Blue Owl’s head, I will tell you… who the player you’re looking for is.”

As the words fell, its body gradually heated up and cracked. From its orange-yellow surface, stained red by the firelight, thousands of fine cracks gradually appeared, spreading to every organ.

"How childish! Just because someone ignores you, you want to take their life?"

Gastro stared at it, his voice calmly sarcastic.

"Similarly, if you ignore me, I will find someone else to take care of you. After all, Mr. Strange Thing knows everything, so I know who your true form is and where you are hiding."

The strange creature uttered its last words before its body suddenly exploded into a raging bolt of fire, pushing and rising from the alley. Immediately afterward, a sinister laugh echoed through the alley.

"What a truly bizarre thing..."

Gastro sighed.

If this strange thing were a player, she could understand. But the fact that it had a superhuman panel on its head left her a bit confused.

Could this person be a superhuman with the superpower of omniscience and omnipotence?

Or perhaps... it's collaborating with a player. If that's the case, then the player it's collaborating with is very likely Spider-Man.
