Superman's End Manual

Thinking this, the blue owl lowered its head, touched its beak at the philtrum, and after a long while said, "I will consider it. Thank you for thinking so much about this team."

He paused, then continued, "And..."

"what?"

"You're already someone your sister can be proud of."

After uttering those words in a lukewarm tone, Blue Owl immediately turned and walked into the open elevator, lest she be left standing there awkwardly, unable to move after her own motivational speech.

Behind him, Bai Yi paused for a couple of seconds, his gaze fixed on Lan Xiao's retreating figure. As the elevator doors slowly closed and ascended, the red and blue figure disappeared from his sight.

He lowered his head slightly, then chuckled softly.

At this very moment, inside the glass-walled elevator.

The blue owl looked down at the city through the glass wall, then lowered its head and let out a long sigh.

He thought, "So this captain is actually trying to win me over. Are all these kids who haven't had much contact with society and just got their powers to become superheroes really this naive?"

Just then, a bubble appeared in the upper right corner of his field of vision.

[Cut Ice: Spider-Man, are you there?]

Ke Mingye raised an eyebrow, leaned against the glass curtain wall, and replied to the message with his mind.

[The Failed Man: What, you've already found Gastro's location?]

Chapter 183 White Wing Squad VS Dice Monster (Part 1)

[Cut Ice: No, I haven't found Gastro's location yet. She's very well hidden; she's basically never been seen under surveillance.]

Blue Owl arrived at the bottom of the glass-walled elevator he was riding. As he walked out of the Superhero Building, he replied to the message from the Ice Cutter with his mind.

[The Failed Man: Fine, I knew she wouldn't be so easy to find.]

[The Failed Man: Then why did you contact me?]

[Cut Ice: I've discussed it with Anti-Dog, and neither of us recommends that you see Gastro.]

[Cai Bing: You can talk to him about the details; I won't bother explaining. I still have to go to work, it's so annoying.]

Blue Owl sighed softly, opened the Anti-Dog's chat panel, typed, and sent a message.

[The Failed Man: What brilliant insights do you have, you cultured man?]

[Anti-dog: I told you not to see her tomorrow.]

[Anti-Dog: You yourself said that she didn't attack you and the paranoid person at the coffee shop last time because the Black Judge was nearby; so she will most likely attack you this time, and no matter the outcome, it will be detrimental to you.]

[Anti-dog: You should know that she only has less than a month left. If she can't find your vampire sister, she will die because of the vampire oath.]

[Anti-dog: In this situation, how could she possibly have a friendly conversation with you and wait for you to pave the way for her?]

[Anti-dog: She'd simply grab you and interrogate you using force; if she couldn't get anything out of you, she'd control you to lure out the other players. For her, that's definitely a better option… or rather, if I were in her shoes, or if you were in her position, you would definitely do the same. Nothing is more important than your own life, and even less so your relationships with other players.]

[The defeated man: I know.]

[Anti-Dog: Of course, you might say, 'At the very least, I can have the puppet self-destruct and break free at any time.' But if Gastro hears the sound of the puppet exploding, he'll naturally know that the Dice Monster is you.]

[Anti-Dog: After all, someone once filmed the Dice Monster exploding; all that's left is to say, that laughter is incredibly distinctive. She'll find out after a little investigation.]

[Anti-Dog: If the Dice Man's background is exposed, it will uncover many clues. If Gastro loudly proclaims that 'the Dice Man is the player,' then you can forget about cooperating with your family anymore. They all know you're aiming to exterminate superhumans; knowing your true purpose, how can they be fooled by you?]

[The Failed Man: Well, I know that too.]

[The Failed Man: Gastro is probing my strength, and I'm probing hers too. If she didn't bring those vampire organization members with her, she couldn't catch me alone. Just against the player, I'm 99% confident I can beat her, or at the very least, escape from her.]

[Anti-dog: If she really brought those vampire hunters with her, even a random A-rank one wouldn't be able to escape from him.]

[The defeated man: Then I'll bring my own men too, and we'll see whose group is stronger. This is one of the few opportunities I can exploit the intelligence gap; she has no idea I have a bunch of tough guys at home.]

[Anti-dog: That's true. So, who are you planning to bring?]

[The Failed Man: This is my own problem, you don't need to worry about it.]

[Anti-dog: Unless you're 90% certain, I'll say it again: avoid her for now. Figure out your roles: she's the attacker, you're the defender. If she can't find the vampire within a month, her heart will die; but you don't have that constraint. You just need to hide, you don't need to take the initiative.]

[The Failed Man: No, I also have limitations.]

[Anti-dog: What do you mean?]

[The Failed Man: The limitation is that if my family captures Gastro's true form alive, the probability of me being exposed is close to 99%.]

[The Failed Man: If she reveals to the authorities that "there's a player hiding a vampire in this city," and also reveals the book of prophecy that can be used once a month, then my family, following these two clues, will soon discover that Bai Ziling is actually that vampire.]

[The Failed Man: Then they do a round of elimination at home, and they'll immediately know I'm the player.]

[Anti-Dog: You're right. It seems your situation isn't any easier than Gastro's. You'll have to find Gastro faster than your family.]

[The Failed Man: No, I stayed home, so I was fully aware of everyone's actions and had already infiltrated their organization using several aliases.]

[The Failed Man: I don't need to make sure I find Gastro faster than them; I just need to make sure that after they capture her, I get rid of her before she reveals any information. That's enough.]

[Anti-dog: Very difficult. For example, if your ninja brother, or the crow, takes her away, how will you find her? You can't keep up with those two, let alone find them.]

[Anti-dog: Besides, they're watching Gastro; how are you going to kill him out of their sight?]

[The Failed Man: I have a tracking device, an anchor-point sunglasses. I can track them when they're home, so I'm not afraid of losing them.]

[The Failed Man: As for how to kill Gastro, my skill lies in surprise; it's not that there's no chance.]

[Anti-dog: Even if you say that, it's still very difficult.]

[The Failed Man: It's quite tall. But I can't just hand over the initiative to someone else and wait to die at home.]

[Anti-dog: After this analysis, you're now in a complete dilemma: whether you take the initiative or remain hidden, there's a high probability that your identity will be exposed because of Gastro.]

[Anti-Dog: Sigh, to be honest, I think you're probably really finished this time. She's practically sent by heaven to punish you. Maybe you should just take the last resort?]

[The Failed Man: What is the Worst Strategy?]

[Anti-Dog: Abandon the identity of Ke Mingye. Then use the seventh instance card to escape by taking the train from the abandoned train station in the old Jingmai district and find a new combat base.]

[Anti-Dog: You can stay in Tokyo, work as a host with the trickster doll and orange peel, while I farm dungeons in Tokyo. Doesn't that sound pretty good?]

[Anti-Dog: Moreover, judging from the current situation, the Black Tengu Club is unlikely to collapse; it's very safe there.]

[The Failed Man: Come on, if I'm really going to give up the identity of Ke Mingye, then what have I been hiding in this house all this time for?]

[Anti-Dog: On the bright side, rather than getting caught and revealing everything about the Japanese branch, causing the entire Black Tengu Club and Orange Peel to suffer, it's better to just abandon your identity in the Beijing area and hide in Japan for a year. While you'll lose an extremely powerful network, it won't be too bad; at least you'll still be alive.]

[The defeated man: Although this is a rational approach, I refuse. Giving up before the fight even begins is too lame.]

[Anti-dog: There's a term in psychology called "sunk cost," and you're probably experiencing this kind of mentality right now. You feel you've invested a lot of effort in faking your identity, so you're unwilling to easily give up the identity of "the fourth son of the Berke family."]

[Anti-dog: But actually, it's only been a month, so it's not really a sunk cost. You should stop now. I think after the Gastro incident, your chances of surviving are less than 30%.]

[The Failed Man: 30% is enough, let me take a gamble.]

[The Failed Man: If I get caught, remember to notify Orange Peel and the anti-superhuman organizations in Japan, and tell them to withdraw from Kabukicho as soon as possible, so they don't get dragged down by me.]

After a long silence, the anti-dog finally replied to his message.

[Anti-dog: You're right. You're so stubborn, I never really thought I could persuade you.]

[Anti-dog: Let's get this straight, we can't go through all that trouble with you. We've already done our best to help you this far. Besides, you've even managed to get Gastro to target me.]

[The Failed Man: Actually, even if you didn't contact me, I would have distanced myself from you all as soon as possible. I know my situation.]

[Anti-Dog: Cai Bing will still keep in touch with you. If she finds Gastro's location through the surveillance cameras, she will tell you immediately; otherwise, the others and I will stay away from the Beijing area to avoid being harassed by Gastro.]

[Anti-dog: That's it. I have nothing else to say.]

[The Failed Man: Okay, you'd better get out of the Beijing area by now. Gastro's parasites have probably spread throughout the entire city; her spies are everywhere.]

[Anti-dog: I know, just mind your own business.]

After sending the message, Blue Owl glanced around to check if anyone was following behind him or if any crows were flying overhead, then turned and walked into an alley.

At the same time, he activated the invisibility ability of the Nightwalker belt and soon returned to the abandoned train station in the old Jingmai neighborhood.

When Ke Mingye played the Blue Owl today, he used his real body instead of the trick puppet, so there was no one waiting for him on the platform at this moment.

Since his second brother and eldest sister already know his identity, it would be best for him to take the stage now.

Even if those vampire hunters were strong, he was confident in Ke Xiaomo: even if there were people that his second brother couldn't defeat, his second brother could easily escape with him. Don't underestimate a ninja's escape skills.

Therefore, even though Ke Xiaomo followed her to this train station, it wasn't a big deal.

Furthermore, Ke Mingye had already warned the anti-dogs in advance.

They said not to leave any items or evidence related to the player at the train station, lest that brooding second brother come and search the place one day and discover some clues.

Ke Mingye's spare cell phone, Magical Girl Alliance ID card, and other such items were tucked inside Little Red Riding Hood's magic book.

It's too dangerous to keep it in the platform cabinet now; there's a 99% chance it'll be discovered by my second brother.

"Well, we're meeting Gastro tomorrow, so I need to make some preparations tonight," Ke Mingye thought as he took off his Blue Owl combat suit.

He folded his battle uniform and put it in the storage locker on the platform, slammed the locker door shut, and then shifted his position to sit on the public wooden bench next to the locker.

Ke Mingye looked up and breathed a sigh of relief at the sky.
