Superman's End Manual

He took out his phone and glanced down at it.

The caller's name was displayed as "Che Zhengchen".

"So fast……"

Ke Mingye stared at the name on the screen, raised an eyebrow, and then walked into a public restroom inside KFC. He answered Che Zhengchen's call in the last stall.

"Commander Che, you're already awake?"

"I'm fine, I've already returned to the association building. How about you, are you alright?"

Che Zhengchen's warm voice came from the other end of the phone.

"No, the witch Black Rose injured one or two of my bones, but with my constitution, they will heal in a couple of days."

If Ke Mingye wanted to, he could drink a couple of sips of the liquid from the resurrection vial and his chest wound would heal instantly. But that seemed too unrealistic, so he decided to leave the wound alone and treat it a couple of days later. After all, his superhuman physique was what it was; nothing serious would happen.

"That's good." Che Zhengchen paused. "Actually, I was wondering if you have time to come to the Super Hero Building now?"

Upon hearing this, Ke Mingye replied without hesitation, "Coming. I'll be there in half an hour."

Exactly half an hour later, at the Superhero Association Building, on the 45th floor of the office.

Che Zhengchen sat behind his desk, gently tapping the back of his hand with a pen.

As he was thinking, after being captured by the Dice Monster, he suddenly remembered something: a few days ago in the underground tavern, he seemed to have made an appointment to meet someone.

That person seemed to be a very important figure, but he couldn't remember them at all.

"really weird……"

He put down his pen, rested his right hand on the back of his head, and muttered to himself.

A moment later, his phone on his desk beeped, interrupting his thoughts.

"Commander Che, a superhero codenamed 'Blue Owl' requests a meeting with you. Should we grant him access?"

Hearing this, Che Zhengchen breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on his face. "Let him come up."

"receive."

After a while, as the elevator doors opposite the office slowly opened, a figure in a red and blue uniform walked out and went straight into the office.

"I'm here, Commander Che." Blue Owl was as familiar as ever, and after speaking, he pulled up a chair in front of his desk and sat down, facing Che Zhengchen directly.

He looked up from behind his glasses at Che Zhengchen. The commander's attire was no different from usual: a suit and slicked-back hair, except he was wearing frameless glasses.

"They actually listened to advice and changed their gold-rimmed glasses, didn't they?" Blue Owl thought with amusement.

Che Zhengchen said, "I called you here today mainly for two things."

"The Dice Monster thing?"

Che Zhengchen shook his head and smiled, saying, "No, there were surveillance cameras in this office when it happened, so you don't need to explain anything. The people in the association saw what you did. I was quite touched that you risked your life to jump off the building to save me. But don't be so impulsive next time, after all, you don't have the ability to fly like Platinum Wings."

"Oh, what is it?" Blue Owl asked.

"Let's put the first matter on hold for now."

Che Zhengchen paused for a moment, looked up at the blue owl, and then asked a question in a deep voice.

"Secondly, would you like to meet with Blue Raven alone?"

Chapter 181 ID Card, Superhero Association's Dedicated App, Hero Community

"Uh... are you sure you said 'Blue Raven'?"

Blue Owl stared at Che Zhengchen through his glasses, making sure he had heard correctly.

“That’s right.” Che Zhengchen smiled. “I’m asking you if you want to meet Qingya alone. Perhaps after getting closer to him, you can have a new understanding of him.”

Upon hearing this, the blue owl lowered its head, turned slightly to the side on the swivel chair, and spun around once, causing the beak on its mask to return to its original position.

He thought in his mind.

Is this for real? We've only known each other for a few days, and Che Zhengchen is already trying to set me up with Qingya. Could it be that he and my dad have already planned to open my box together?

That suits me perfectly. Although I don't really want the other people in the association to know my identity, I'm willing to let Commander Che and my father know it.

After all, I've already removed the parasite from Commander Che's body, so I don't need to worry about him being controlled by Gastro and revealing my information.

Thinking of this, although the blue owl felt it was a good job, it still symbolically declined, just like when accepting red envelopes during the Lunar New Year.

“Um… before I answer that question, I’d like to ask you first,” he tilted his head and asked cautiously, “Commander Che, are you sure Blue Raven wants to see me alone?”

“I’ve seen the official surveillance footage. Yesterday, when you were about to fall to the ground, the Blue Raven saved you.”

“Are you kidding me? He would have saved any other superhero. Or…” Blue Owl paused, his tone dismissive, “Commander Che, do you think Blue Raven is the kind of person who would stand by and watch someone die? Especially not a vigilante. That’s not like him at all. Hmm, not at all.”

Che Zhengchen was silent for a moment, then smiled slightly, "But he also said to you: if he had saved other superheroes, he might not have given them any advice."

"Is it possible that you brought him into the Superhero Association back then, and even served as his commander for a period of time, so you were old friends with him?"

As he spoke, Blue Owl shrugged. "So essentially, he was in danger because he knew I was trying to save you, and that's why he exchanged a few pleasantries with me out of consideration for you. Understand? There's really no need to overanalyze it."

"That's certainly a possibility."

Che Zhengchen took a sip of tea and said calmly, "But over the years, I've really never seen him interact much with other superheroes. It seems he still cares about you, the 'imitator,' quite a bit."

Upon hearing this, Blue Owl sighed, rested his elbows on the armrests of the swivel chair, rubbed his forehead with his hand, and said irritably.

"My God, you know what? I feel like we're talking like high school boys who are saying, 'Oh, that girl must be interested in you. She's never talked to any boys before.' And Qingya is that quiet, academically excellent, and icy beauty who's the envy of her classmates."

"Heh, heh..." Che Zhengchen chuckled, shook his head, and said, "Never mind, let's not talk about that. Anyway, I should be able to help you get a chance to meet Qingya alone. You just need to answer me: are you willing to see him or not?"

The blue owl lowered its head, remained silent for two or three seconds, and then said, "Isn't that obvious? Of course I want to see him, otherwise what's the point of wearing this battle suit?"

He paused for a moment: "Instead of asking me, you should ask him if he's willing to see me."

“That’s enough.” Che Zhengchen shrugged and said calmly, “I think he wanted to talk to you, but he just didn’t find the right opportunity. Don’t be fooled by Qingya’s appearance. Actually, apart from work, he’s a very awkward person. Uh… to put it bluntly, he’s a repressed pervert.”

"Haha, aren't you afraid that a crow will suddenly break the window and kidnap you from the office?"

"No way, I'm more afraid that some spider-like man will break the glass and kidnap me. I'm already traumatized by that," Che Zhengchen teased.

"Okay, that's true."

After speaking, Blue Owl was silent for a moment. Although he knew that he could have dinner with Comrade Blue Raven when he returned home, he still asked, trying to deceive himself.

"So when can I meet with the crow?"

Che Zhengchen opened his mouth and said rather reservedly, "Well... I don't know when he'll talk to me, but it shouldn't take a month or two."

"One or two months is too much. You two are old friends, why would he give you such a cold shoulder?"

"That's just his way of doing things, not some kind of passive-aggressive behavior. Sigh, I don't really understand you young people's thinking."

Blue Owl asked with concern, "Speaking of which, Commander Che, your body should be alright, right? For example, during the time the Dice Monster was holding you captive, did he implant nanomachines, or eavesdropping devices or trackers into your body?"

"No, after I was brought back by the Blue Crow, he immediately had someone examine my body with sophisticated instruments."

"The results of it?"

Che Zhengchen smiled and replied, "The result is that apart from a minor fracture, I have no physical problems. So it's impossible for the Dice Monster to have tampered with me, unless its methods are so sophisticated that they can deceive the detection equipment provided by the Control Bureau."

"I see."

After a moment of contemplation, Blue Owl pretended to think and said, "By the way... regarding that recent mass riot incident that's been all over the news, I was secretly observing in the alley and I saw someone vomit up some kind of black worm, and those worms crawled into another person's mouth. It seems that those rioting groups were controlled by those parasites that burrowed into their bodies."

He looked up at Che Zhengchen, his tone growing increasingly strange: "Commander Che, could it be that the Dice Monster did that, and then it kidnapped you to insert a parasite into your body?"

Upon hearing this, Che Zhengchen breathed a sigh of relief and spoke calmly.

"Regarding that parasite, the Superhero Association has internally released the progress of the investigation today, saying that this parasite will not target superhumans. Therefore, every non-superhuman commander and ordinary staff member within the association was tested and confirmed that they were not infected by the parasite."

He paused for a moment, then said, "I'm just an ordinary person, so I'm on the association's testing list. But luckily, the tests showed that my body showed no signs of being infested with parasites."

"Since it has nothing to do with parasites and your body hasn't changed at all, then why did this dice monster capture you?"

The blue owl pondered, its tone quite puzzled.

"I don't know, maybe it's reminding me to change my glasses, since I've been wearing the same pair for a long time."

As he spoke, Che Zhengchen chuckled self-deprecatingly, then continued, "Those were a gift from my son, who is... Grey Dove. He received his first paycheck from the Superhero Association and bought those glasses as a present for me. Over the years, although my eyesight has deteriorated considerably, I haven't changed my glasses."

Upon hearing this, the blue owl was stunned for a moment, wishing it could eat its own hand. It thought to itself, "What a beast! It threw away the gift that the dismembered son had given it, and even suggested that he get a new pair of glasses."

Is this something people do?

It's a pure, utterly hellish joke...

The two men in the office were silent for a moment. Just as Blue Owl was about to offer his opinion to comfort the commander who had lost his son, Che Zhengchen interrupted him.

"Actually, getting a new pair of glasses is a good thing, at least the prescription is correct."

Che Zhengchen made a self-deprecating joke to ease the atmosphere.

Seeing this, the blue owl quickly changed the subject to avoid further awkwardness.

"Commander Che, what measures does the government have to deal with those parasites? We can't have everyone undergo surgery to have the parasites removed from their bodies one by one, can we?"
