Superman's End Manual

Ke Mingye didn't respond to her words, but instead made a sarcastic remark without any warmth, and then put down his water glass.

Although the girl in front of me looks remarkably similar to Gastro in the brain imaging, it doesn't necessarily mean that she is Gastro; perhaps Gastro is conducting a test.

By dressing up a puppet to resemble herself, having the puppet sit in a wheelchair pretending to be disabled, wearing a human face mask, and finally controlling the puppet to meet Ke Mingye, the aim is to test whether Ke Mingye has somehow glimpsed her true appearance by observing his reaction during the meeting.

But in other words, if the person sitting here really is Gastro, then she could easily find out that the person sitting opposite her is not Ke Mingye by simply sending a friend request.

If their meeting is the same as before, a case of counterfeits meeting counterfeits, then the nature of this conversation is like two people with blindfolds on their eyes testing each other's ability to see.

One of them tried to probe, saying, "I can see that you have a blindfold over your eyes, so you can't possibly see me."

Another reply was, "I just noticed you have a cloth covering your eyes. How could you possibly see me with a cloth covering your eyes? You're talking complete nonsense."

But in reality, neither of them could see the other's face; they could only probe each other through words, separated by a black cloth. Neither trusted the other.

Last time, because the Black Judge was there, Gastro dared not act rashly, so Ke Mingye was able to have Paranoia send a friend request to Gastro on her behalf to confirm whether she was the real person.

This meeting was a matter of life and death. If the paranoid person came, he would most likely be captured and interrogated, so he had no choice but to take the lead himself.

"You know, you can't wake someone who's pretending to be asleep, so let's not discuss who's the fake for now."

As she spoke, she lowered her eyes, glancing at the coffee names on the menu, and continued.

"I should have told you that I hoped you would cooperate with me to find the player who is hiding a vampire in their home, but you have been hiding information about the other players from me, and you are even unwilling to let me meet them. What is the reason for this?"

She paused for a moment and said, "Didn't you say you also wanted to know the details of that player called 'Anti-Dog'? But your actions seem to contradict your words."

“I originally wanted to trick him into coming to see you, but he’s been missing for the past few days and I can’t get in touch with him,” Ke Mingye explained.

“Why?” Gastro said. “Was it because Paranoia overheard our conversation and secretly told him what we had said? After all, at that time, besides you and me, there was only Paranoia, even though you let him go first.”

“That’s possible,” Ke Mingye said. “But more likely, you revealed in the discussion group that you’re infiltrating the vampire hunters and looking for a white-haired vampire.” He paused. “The anti-dogs are feeling guilty, so they haven’t come to meet you and have been avoiding other players during this time.”

“Alright.” Gastro still rested his chin on his hands, his voice calm. “Let’s look at it from another angle. How can I be sure that you didn’t secretly contact the anti-dog and tip him off, telling him to stay away from the Beijing area?”

“You’re right, I can’t prove that,” Ke Mingye said. “But…”

Before he could finish speaking, a sharp, explosive sound suddenly rang in his ears, as if the air had been torn apart.

Immediately afterwards, an arrow, seemingly appearing out of nowhere, pierced through the glass of the coffee shop, and like a streak of light, instantly pierced Ke Mingye's shoulder, pinning him to the ground.

Immediately, a tingling sensation spread, starting from the arrow that had pierced his body, as if a giant earthworm was crawling inside him, making his whole body limp and unable to move.

poisoned.

Ke Mingye immediately came to this conclusion.

The charlatan's body lay on the ground, twitching slightly, and it rasped hoarsely at Gastro in the wheelchair, "You tricked me?"

"Didn't you want me to bring a vampire hunter?"

Gastro looked down at him from his wheelchair and said in a joking manner, "Well... here they are."

“You’re right… but I don’t want to meet them this way.”

Ke Mingye joked, but in his heart he was thinking: He couldn't let the doll die here. Otherwise, if the doll's body exploded and that eerie laughter echoed in the coffee shop, it would not only alert Gastro, but also make his second brother suspicious.

Gastro said, "This arrow carries a toxin that even vampires can't resist. Being hit by it will leave you unconscious for a long time, unable to move. So I suggest you don't try to resist for now, just get some sleep. Later, I'll talk to you about whether you're really that guy connected to vampires..."

Before she could finish speaking, a look of surprise appeared in her eyes.

In that split second, Ke Mingye's body, along with the arrow, vanished from the spot.

Instead, a small, bird-shaped, cyan machine appeared on the café floor.

"He's gone?"

Gastro paused for half a second, muttered to himself, and then quickly raised his right cane, pressing the bird-shaped machine that was about to take flight to the ground.

Without a second's hesitation, seeing it still flapping its wings and struggling, he decisively smashed it to prevent the bird-shaped machine from harboring any hidden secrets and causing him trouble.

Immediately afterward, amidst the shattered parts and scattered arcs of electricity, the bird-shaped machine slowly lost its responsiveness, closed its eyelids, and let its flapping wings droop to the ground.

"If he's still nearby, he shouldn't have gone far, since he's been poisoned."

Gastro, however, remained completely calm, thinking to himself.

"Let Link help me look for it."

At the same time, on Hongge Food Street.

Ke Xiaomo had carefully searched the nearby buildings not long ago, and after confirming that there were no suspicious people, he quickly disappeared into the shadows.

The shadow he transformed into hid on the surface of a residential building directly opposite the coffee shop.

At this moment, only a pair of eyes were visible in the shadows, silently gazing at the trickster doll and Gastro sitting by the window of the café.

"The girl in the wheelchair looks exactly like the girl in the photo that the Dice Monster sent me, so she's the one who started spreading the parasite in this city?"

He observed the red-haired girl in the wheelchair in the coffee shop, lost in thought.

If nothing unusual happens later, he will enter the café and capture the two players who are talking. If possible, he will try to spare their lives, since he still has many questions to ask them.

However, interrogation should be left to Ke Yinzhi. Ke Xiaomo is only good at killing, not at interrogating others. He doesn't like to see others suffer, so he tries to kill them with one blow most of the time.

However, he was cautious. Since the Dice Monster had said that there was a possibility that members of the "Vampire Hunters" organization would appear at this meeting, he could not let his guard down.

Perhaps those vampire hunters are lurking in the café, or perhaps they are on their way to the café.

Only after learning their full picture did Ke Xiaomo decide to make his move. The essence of a ninja lies in the word "patience." Before fully understanding the situation, one must remain patient and cautious, waiting for the most opportune moment, ensuring absolute certainty before striking to take the opponent's head—this is the code of conduct of the Ninja Clan.

However, in the next instant, a streak of light shot through Hongge Food Street, piercing the glass of the coffee shop and embedding itself in one of the players amidst the rain of shards.

arrow?

It was shot from the six o'clock direction.

Ke Xiaomo frowned, and after reaching a conclusion in her mind, she quickly hid her exposed eyes in the shadows.

Immediately afterwards, it transformed into a hawk-like shadow and swept across the surfaces of the walls.

Within seconds, he located the source of the arrow: the fifth floor of an abandoned factory nearby.

When Ke Xiaomo's shadow flew into the factory and attached itself to an abandoned machine on the fifth floor that was swaying with mottled light and shadow,

Three figures were instantly reflected in his pupils.

On a mountain of garbage made up of discarded machinery and parts, three figures are scattered at different heights.

Sitting at the very top was a woman wearing a light green raincoat with a hood, carrying a giant bow and holding three arrows.

Next was a man wearing a denim jacket, suit trousers, and a cowboy hat. He had long hair that was swept back and a full beard. He held two silver long-barreled guns in his hands.

Finally, sitting at the very bottom was a man who was a full two meters and two inches tall, with black hair and black eyes, a muscular build, and muscles that were almost bulging together – a “giant”.

The giant, dressed in a vest and loose shorts, sat at the bottom of a pile of parts, his eyes lowered, casually wiping a greatsword.

"These must be the 'vampire hunters' the dice monster was talking about. They don't even look Asian. So why are they in this city?"

Ke Xiaomo observed the three figures, lost in thought.

At the same time, he could intuitively judge that the archer woman and the two-meter-tall giant were not weak, while the strength of the cowboy man was still unknown.

First, let's talk about the archer girl, who actually shot the player in the coffee shop from a distance of 100 meters; then there's this giant, whose appearance alone shows how monstrous his strength is.

At that moment, the giant spoke in English: "How is it, Link?"

“Hit.” The raincoat-clad archer named “Link” replied in English as well. “The player Strow encountered doesn’t seem to be very capable. My arrow was slow enough that I didn’t use my full strength in order to save his life.”

"So, the next step is to lure that player back?" the cowboy asked.

“Yes, Howard, go check on the situation,” the giant said.

The cowboy named Howard scratched his head and complained, "What a hassle, Flinx, why don't you go yourself?"

"Stop talking so much nonsense," Flinx said.

“Speaking of which, haven’t you guys felt something was off? It seems like something just entered the factory.” Link paused, then changed the subject: “It’s nearby.”

Upon hearing this, Ke Xiaomo was slightly taken aback, thinking to herself, "I've actually been discovered?"

"Of course I noticed. I wanted to surprise him, but it wouldn't be fun if you told him."

As he spoke, the cowboy suddenly lowered the brim of his hat, raised his silver gun, and fired a bullet with a ghostly blue flame at an abandoned machine inside the factory.

In the blink of an eye, Ke Xiaomo sprang out of the shadows, dodging the incoming blue bullet.

The moment the bullet struck the abandoned machine, a raging blue flame erupted like a demon with outstretched claws, instantly engulfing the equipment and leaving a charred stain on the ground.

"They actually managed to spot me; their strength is indeed remarkable. Should I try exchanging a few blows with them..."

Ke Xiaomo leaned forward slightly, ready to slip into the shadows and escape from the ground at any moment.

Flink, Link, and Howard all looked at the uninvited guest dressed in a black ninja outfit and wearing a metal ninja mask.

"Ninjas?" Howard lowered the brim of his hat and said with interest.

“A superhuman race I’ve never seen before,” Link said, already nocking an arrow onto his bowstring.

“They’re coming for us, so kill them.” Flinx said calmly, slowly raising the greatsword and standing up from the pile of parts.

"No, my target is that player named 'Gastro.' Capture her, and we can extract information about these three vampire hunters from her. Fighting them without knowing their background would be far too reckless..."

Thinking this, Ke Xiaomo did a backflip and landed on the factory wall.

In that instant, Howard raised his silver rifle and pulled the trigger, and a dark blue bullet shot out.

At the same time, Link raised his bow, released the bowstring, and the arrow, as fast as a blur, shot towards Ke Xiaomo's landing point.
