Superman's End Manual

However, the instant Ke Xiaomo's feet touched the wall, her figure transformed into a bird-like shadow that merged into the wall. She flapped her wings and shot downwards, leaving the factory in the blink of an eye.

The next instant, the raptor flew straight towards the coffee shop.

The moment she entered the coffee shop, Ke Xiaomo swiftly emerged from the shadows and silently appeared behind the wheelchair-bound girl, delivering a karate chop to her neck and quickly knocking her unconscious.

Immediately afterwards, Ke Xiaomo and Gastro slowly merged into the shadows beneath their feet, entering a separate space woven from shadows, where he could eliminate all external interference.

"Shadow Space"—he was the only one in the entire Shadow Ninja Clan who successfully mastered this technique, not even the former clan leader.

The downside of this move is that it takes too long, three seconds to drag the enemy or yourself into the shadow space, making it unusable against slightly stronger opponents.

"Something seems off..."

In the dark space, Ke Xiaomo suddenly felt something was wrong: when he had just delivered that chop to the neck, the girl had clearly fainted, but her body was still slowly twitching.

The next moment, she turned around with empty eyes, raised her cane and swung it at Ke Xiaomo's face.

However, Ke Xiaomo casually used his Shadow Sword to cut off Gastly's cane and used one arm to restrain her body from behind.

He realized that these were signs of being controlled by parasites.

"Is the information the Dice Monster gave me wrong, or is this not Gastro's true form?"

Thinking this, Ke Xiaomo reached out and touched the girl's face with her other hand. Soon, she tore off an extremely thin human face mask from her face.

"As expected... she was just an ordinary person controlled by Gastro."

Thinking this, Ke Xiaomo struck the girl's chest with her right palm, which was imbued with internal energy. The parasite wrapped around her heart instantly hissed and crawled out of her throat.

Seeing this, Ke Xiaomo held the completely unconscious girl in his arms and raised his Shadow Sword to cut the parasite in half.

With a "hiss," it fell, and filthy blood splattered in the shadowy space.

Ke Xiaomo placed the girl on the ground and carefully examined her legs, confirming that her legs were in normal condition and that she was not even disabled.

He was just sitting in a wheelchair, pretending to be disabled.

If Gastro's true identity is indeed the wheelchair-bound girl in the photo, then she inserted a parasite into the body of an ordinary girl and had that girl impersonate her to meet another player.

"What is the purpose of this? Where did the other player who was just shot by an arrow go?"

Unable to understand, Ke Xiaomo left the girl in the shadow space for the time being, while he returned to reality and left Hongge Commercial Street as quickly as possible.

On the other side, in an alley of Hongge Food Street.

[Note: The "Bluebird Reconnaissance Plane" has been destroyed.]

Before entering the café, Ke Mingye controlled the trickster doll to release the Bluebird reconnaissance plane and hid it in a nearby alley so that he could switch places with it to escape.

At this moment, the trickster doll with an arrow in its shoulder is lying on the ground in the alley.

Despite being affected by the poison, its body remained immobile. So it had no choice but to unleash its skill, quickly releasing a second trickster doll into the alley.

The second puppet held the first puppet, which had been shot by an arrow, in its arms, and at the same time put on a night-walking belt from its bag, activated its "invisibility function," and quickly withdrew from Hongge Commercial Street.

Finally, on a nearby beach, the second doll deactivated its invisibility, embraced the first doll, plunged into the sea, and slowly sank.

Then it exploded on the seabed, and the eerie laughter did not reach the surface.

Ke Mingye did this to prevent Gastro from associating him with the Dice Monster.

After all, everyone on the internet already knows that the Dice Monster makes a strange laugh when it explodes, and many people have seen the video.

If his doll explodes in front of Gastro, then Gastro will immediately know that the Dice Monster is him.

Once his family catches Gastro, Gastro reveals that "the Dice Monster is actually a player," and his subsequent attempts to cooperate with his family are nothing but nonsense.

Everyone knows that no matter what tricks you're up to, your ultimate goal is to "exterminate superhumans," so who would cooperate with you? Listening to anything you say is just bullshit.

At that very moment, as the two dolls exploded on the seabed, in one of the bedrooms of the Bai Ke family.

Ke Mingye thought to himself that his second brother should have held off those vampire hunters, otherwise his trick puppet would most likely not have been able to escape Hongge Commercial Street, or at the very least, it would have had to self-destruct in front of those vampire hunters.

He breathed a sigh of relief, took out his spare phone, and sent an email to Ke Xiaomo.

[Mr. Strange Things: How's it going, Mr. Ninja?]

[Mo: I met three very strong people. Are they the vampire hunters you mentioned?]

[Mr. Strange: That's right. But shouldn't the focus be on the two players who met in the café? The one in the wheelchair is "Gastro," the player who's been spreading parasites throughout the city.]

[Mr. Strange Thing: Uh, it seems you haven't caught either Gastro or the player she met?]

[Mer: No, I caught the "Gastro" you mentioned.]

[Mo: But she's a fake. She appears to be in a wheelchair, and her appearance matches the photo you gave her, but she's actually an ordinary person controlled by parasites. Her legs are normal, and she wears a human face mask.]

[Mer: Are you sure the photo of "Gastro" you gave me is of her, and not a puppet she controls?]

[Mr. Strange Thing: I'm sure it's her. She used her cane to spread the parasites, not spat them out of her mouth, so it should be her.]

[Mr. Strange Thing: It seems that Gastro didn't come in his real form, but instead used a puppet to disguise himself.]

[Mo: Why did she do that?]

[Mr. Strange Thing: Who knows? Maybe it's to test if another player knows what she looks like. If they do, they'll definitely be shocked, since this girl likes to use puppets to toy with others.]

After typing this line, Ke Mingye let out a soft sigh of relief.

"According to my second brother, there were three vampire hunters he met..." he thought. "I still haven't gotten any more detailed information. I don't know what Gastro will do after this meeting. I'll just have to wait and see."

Chapter 189 Bai Zini: What? My brother is a superhero (Part 1)

On the afternoon of July 11, after meeting with Gastro.

Ke Mingye sat cross-legged on the bed in the bedroom, playing with his phone with his eyes downcast. On the wooden table beside the bed, a handheld fan was slowly turning in front of his face; the weather was so hot it felt like it could kill the cicadas chirping in the trees.

In the email reply to my second brother, he said he was unaware of Gastro's intention in disguising the puppet as himself.

However, he actually knew that Gastro did this for one of two reasons:

One purpose was to test whether players already knew her true identity;

Secondly, if other players already know what she looks like, then by dressing up the puppet to resemble herself, she might be able to lure out other players lying in ambush nearby, allowing the three vampire hunters to capture them all and find the player who is hiding a vampire in their home.

But Ke Mingye couldn't tell his second brother these things outright.

After all, if word gets out about internal player conflicts, it will inevitably cause some trouble.

It has to be said that it was already a pipe dream for only one hundred players to exterminate the superhuman race, and now that they are fighting amongst themselves, it's just making matters worse.

Just then, he logged out of his email and was about to turn off his backup phone when two messages suddenly popped up on the lock screen.

Ke Mingye raised an eyebrow slightly and glanced at the contents of the two messages.

The top one is a QQ message.

[Not Ashes: Rainbow said she wants to see you. If you're free, come to the elementary school. If not, that's fine. It's probably nothing important.]

The bottom one is a text message.

[Che Zhengchen: Are you free today? Come to the Super Hero Building and show your face. Everyone's worried about you. We don't want someone to hold a funeral for you right after your debut.]

"Come on, why am I so busy?"

Ke Mingye muttered to himself and scratched his head.

He felt like he was experiencing what it's like to be a "scumbag" online for a limited time, except that one of the two women was his sister and the other was his boss.

"It seems that I can't miss any of them, otherwise I don't know if I'll miss some important information." He thought, "I'll release the two puppets at a certain time."

Thinking this, he got out of bed, put on his slippers, and walked out of the room.

At this very moment, at the entrance of the Bai Ke family residence.

Ke Xiaomo leaned against the door behind him, his eyes lowered and hidden by his bangs, his lips twitching slightly. After taking a breath, he slowly raised his right hand and gently placed it on the doorknob.

To be honest, he was furious.

He clearly didn't want to cooperate with the Dice Monster, but he had no choice but to go along with it.

His ultimate goal in collaborating with the Dice Monster was singular: to gradually uncover its true identity by following the clues provided by the Dice Monster, and then make it kneel at his feet, so that it could properly taste the bitter consequences of its actions against his family.

Especially last night, after seeing the wounds on Mingye's body, Ke Xiaomo almost couldn't suppress her anger.

At that moment, if the Dice Monster were right in front of him, he probably wouldn't have been able to resist tearing it to pieces, whether it was a fake or the real thing...

"Stay calm, be patient, and don't forget how you got here."

Thinking this, Ke Xiaomo let out a long sigh, doing her best to restrain the violence and anger in her heart. The bulging veins on the back of her hand slowly became blurred.

Just then, the doorknob was turned.

Ke Xiaomo released her grip from above, moved her back away from the door, and turned to look at the person walking out of the house.

Ke Mingye looked up from his phone, puzzled, and asked, "What are you doing standing at your doorstep?"

"It's nothing..." Ke Xiaomo paused for a moment, "It's time for lunch."

"Okay, I'll go downstairs to buy a drink and come right back."

Ke Xiaomo simply nodded upon hearing this, watching his back as he entered the elevator. She then turned her head from the window at the entrance of the corridor and looked through the window at Ke Mingye's figure as he slowly walked into the supermarket.

Only then did he feel relieved and turn away, walking back into the house.
