"Get lost, get lost, don't drag me into this. If Mom finds out I signed for you, she'll definitely drag me along to teach her a lesson."
Ke Mingye spoke softly, looking away from the panel above her head, and disdainfully shook off her elbow.
Hearing their conversation, Bai Zini, who was sitting next to Ke Mingye, quickly came over and volunteered, "I'll sign for you, I'll sign for you!"
“No, your handwriting doesn’t look like Mom’s.” Bai Ziling decisively rejected her.
"Tch, so what if it doesn't look like it? I'll use magic to make one for you," Bai Zini said jokingly.
"Don't actually use magic to transform her..." Ke Mingye looked at the "magical girl" identity on the panel above Bai Zini's head, cold sweat dripping down his forehead.
To be honest, given how close Bai Zini and Bai Ziling are, he was quite curious whether they knew that one of them was a magical girl and the other a vampire, and that they were keeping each other's identities a secret at home.
Time ticked by, and the clock on the wall kept ticking away.
As the sun dipped below the horizon, its last rays illuminating the clouds with a bright, clear glow. Warm, orange light streamed into the house, casting a soft golden hue over every figure in the kitchen.
His parents and two younger sisters were having dinner around the table, chatting and laughing. But Ke Mingye didn't seem to be in the mood to joke with his family. He just rested his chin on his hand and casually looked out the window.
The sky was a hue somewhere between crimson and silver-gray, with a spiraling contrail stretching across the crimson sunset. A child had released a kite; in the dim twilight, it wobbled and rose into the sky like a solitary martyr.
A cool evening breeze drifted into the room through the French windows, gently brushing against his cheeks.
Ke Mingye took a bite of the chicken he was holding with his chopsticks, then turned his gaze back into the house. As he looked at his family, a chill still ran down his spine.
No matter how many times he watched it, Ke Mingye always felt that the scene in front of him was too bizarre and absurd—the father whose potential identity was a "superhero", the mother whose real identity was an "alien spy", the eldest sister who secretly played the role of a "magical girl", and the second sister who seemed to have albinism but was actually a "vampire".
They'd be an exceptional family anywhere, even more so than Mr. and Mrs. Smith. But the most crucial point is that, aside from the mother, this alien oddball, it's unclear who's who in the family is, and the rest of the family seems completely unaware of each other's identities.
So, what terrible things have I done...?
Ke Mingye sighed deeply in his heart.
Three days ago, Ke Mingye was reading in the library. He closed the book and took a nap, and then he was transported to this world.
In this world teeming with superhumans, mutants, and other superhuman beings, he replaced the soul of the unfortunate man with the same name and became a member of this middle-class Chinese family.
In my memory, Ke Mingye's family consisted of nine people—two parents and seven children.
It sounds bizarre, but it makes perfect sense in this parallel world. According to the policies of this parallel world, Chinese families can have a maximum of four children. However, when the parents were planning to have their fourth child, they happened to be pregnant with twins, Bai Zini and Bai Ziling, so they had no choice but to give birth to them.
By this time, there were already five children in the family.
Then the alien, playing the mother, proposed to adopt a child.
According to the policy, families with existing children can only adopt one child, so they adopted "Ke Mingye," who was the predecessor of this body. At this time, the family already had six children.
Then, at the orphanage, the mother felt particularly sorry for a sickly child who had no one to adopt him.
According to the policy, if someone wants to adopt a child in such a special situation, it can be considered on a case-by-case basis. So in the end, she successfully adopted the child and named him "Ke Yongzhu".
So, by this point, the family had a total of seven children.
Ke Mingye was ranked fourth, and because of this awkward position, he was often bullied.
But over the past ten years or so, life has been relatively warm and ordinary. Although my father is usually busy with work, almost like he's invisible, my mother still raised seven children single-handedly.
Referring to these memories in his mind, Ke Mingye, who had initially transmigrated, really thought it was an ordinary, happy family that hadn't changed for more than ten years.
But the player panel in Ke Mingye's eyes didn't tell him that. It even slapped his predecessor hard across the face, saying, "You're an idiot, you didn't even realize you had a bunch of monsters in your house."
It wasn't until Ke Mingye saw his family members with his own eyes, and saw that the panels above each family member's head displayed extremely bizarre data—aliens, superheroes, psychics, baby dragons, magical girls…
Only then did he realize that the body's predecessor had been deceived by this family full of superhumans for sixteen years.
Yes, they lived together for sixteen years, and the original owner of this body never realized that the seemingly ordinary family members actually each had their own secret identities.
According to Chinese policy, all members of any family must undergo "superhuman genetic testing" twice a year to prevent genetic mutations.
If someone is found to have extraordinary genes, they must be separated from ordinary people, attend different schools, or do different jobs.
The test results for Ke Mingye's family, conducted twice a year, were remarkably consistent. Without exception, every single member of the family tested normal, containing absolutely no extraordinary genes.
Perhaps for this reason, apart from the mother being an alien who is hard to say, the other members all believe that there are no other superhumans in the family besides themselves.
However, whether every member is this eccentric is debatable.
After all, Ke Mingye had only been here for three days. He had only met his parents, his older sister, younger brother, and two younger sisters. As for his older brothers, he hadn't met them yet—because his older brothers usually went to university in other places and only came home during holidays, making them true contemporary university students.
Summer vacation is almost here, so they'll be back in a couple of days. Then Ke Mingye will be able to fully grasp the whole picture of this family.
To be honest, he was already under a lot of psychological pressure.
Despite not having high expectations, he still earnestly hoped that his older brothers, who were about to return home, would be ordinary people like him, and not magical girls, superheroes, vampires, aliens, or anything like that.
Thinking of this, Ke Mingye suddenly paused, took a spoonful of hot rice, and made a self-deprecating joke in his mind.
"That's true, but I'm not exactly an ordinary person anymore... I'm a player. But what exactly does this system want me to do? Three days have passed and I still have no clue."
Just then, a black and red panel suddenly appeared in front of him, almost filling his entire pupil, making him shudder slightly.
On the panel, words formed from gushing blood were dancing.
The text is still being updated.
[After surviving a total of 3 days in the parallel world, the player's ultimate mission has been updated—exterminate superhumans.]
[Please spare no effort and use any means necessary to exterminate all superhumans in this parallel world, until only ordinary people remain on Earth.]
[Task time limit: 365 days. 】
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 2 Extinction Plan
The ultimate mission for all players is the same: exterminate all superhumans on Earth. (Time limit: 365 days)
[The cost of failure: All players will be wiped out.]
The bright red characters, as vivid as blood, danced on the panel, flickering like a candle flame.
Ke Mingye was slightly taken aback, but quickly regained his composure. He glanced almost imperceptibly at his family at the table, thankfully no one noticed his unusual expression.
The current number of surviving players worldwide: (99 out of 100)
[Daily Update: Today, the player "Amamiya Kazuko," whose spawn point was Kabukicho, Tokyo, Japan, was brutally murdered by a superhuman criminal, leaving no trace of her body. Players are advised to avoid revealing their identity to anyone, especially those close to them, until they have sufficient power.]
This concludes today's briefing.
After reading the constant stream of announcements, Ke Mingye took a deep breath and smoothed the hair from his forehead with his hand.
"What's wrong, brother?" Bai Zini asked, nudging his elbow as she looked at him.
Ke Mingye didn't turn to look at her, and casually made up an excuse: "I saw the 'function question bank' that the teacher posted in the group, and I almost threw up. Do you want to help me write it?"
Bai Zini gave him a disdainful look: "Please, I'm a middle school student."
Bai Wenna was eating when she overheard their conversation and couldn't help but chime in, "Exactly! How can a brother make his sister do his homework? Doesn't he have any shame?"
"I was just kidding, Mom, can you not take it so seriously? High school is already stressful enough, are you trying to make my life miserable?"
While arguing back, Ke Mingye was also worried that his alien mother might suddenly shoot his skull through with her laser eyes.
Ke Youqing chewed on a piece of fish and said softly, "If you don't know how, go to your sister. She's a good student, so ask her to teach you. She'll be a senior next year, and you'll be a junior next year, so you can look after each other."
Ke Mingye thought to himself that people were busy fighting crime and didn't have time to tutor him. But he said aloud, "My sister runs out as soon as school is over every day, you can't even see her. I still need her to help me."
"Why don't you mention that your sister is in the top ten of her grade? What about you?" Bai Wenna said, glaring at him.
"Me, me, me, oh, what about me? I'll just get a junior college degree."
Ke Mingye replied sarcastically, thinking to himself that if superhumans hadn't gone extinct a year later, it would be my turn to go extinct. And yet he's here giving you guys college entrance exam scores, urging you to strive to be superior.
"you……"
Upon hearing this, Bai Wenna angrily put down her chopsticks and reached out to pinch Ke Mingye's shoulder. Fortunately, Ke Youqing stopped her in time and helplessly advised, "The child was just joking. Don't do this all the time. It's not good for the child's physical and mental development."
The two younger sisters, Bai Ziling and Bai Zini, didn't dare to speak. They silently ate their rice, occasionally glancing at their parents' expressions.
"If you don't make it into the top fifty in the next monthly exam, I'll teach you a lesson." Bai Wenna said, emphasizing each word.
Ke Mingye looked down at the bowl, sighed in exasperation, and thought to himself, "That's enough. Does this alien spy have to adopt a shrew persona on Earth? Can't we just switch to a gentle and beautiful young woman persona? Or even a deaf-mute? That would be the least likely to give us away. Is it really necessary to be so down-to-earth?"
He knew perfectly well that his mother was an alien, but he dared not reveal it. After all, Bai Wenna's combat power was questionable; she might not even be as strong as his A+ level father.
The best way to deal with this loving mother would be to find evidence of her affair with the extraterrestrial colonists, report her to the Superhero Association, and finally have the authorities use the elites of the "Roundtable" to deal with her.
It sounds simple, but the hardest part is actually figuring out how to gather the evidence.
Bai Wenna has been lurking on Earth for over a decade, and even her husband, Ke Youqing, didn't notice anything amiss, let alone Ke Mingye.
Furthermore, Ke Youqing is a member of the "Superhero Roundtable." This means he is recognized as one of the world's strongest superheroes, yet he didn't discover Bai Wenna's alien identity, which shows just how terrifying her abilities are.
As his thoughts drifted to this point, Ke Mingye recalled the main quest set up by the system that didn't seem to have a mother.
"Exterminate superhumans? That's just empty talk," he thought. "There are only a hundred players in this world. How could we possibly wipe them all out in a year?"
Thinking this, Ke Mingye ate some shrimp while opening his phone and using his browser to check the official data provided by the "Super Hero Association" this year.
The results show that the number of superhumans officially registered on the world's population list is currently around 25000.
Not to mention the unregistered wild superhumans, whose numbers are definitely not small either. The Ke Mingye family is a case in point: every member of the family has used their own methods to evade the annual genetic testing, so none of them have been officially registered as superhumans.
Moreover, if he really wanted to exterminate superhumans, he would inevitably have to overcome, or even crush, countless powerful forces, such as the Superhero Association, the Magical Girl Alliance, the Anomaly Control Bureau, the Superdimensional Supervision Bureau, the Time Management Bureau, and so on.
These are just the organizations that are in the open. Everyone knows how many organizations are operating in the shadows, and how many superhuman beings with nuclear-level capabilities are hidden within them.
