Superman's End Manual

"You woke me up. And then... I'm waiting for you to come home."

As Bai Ziling spoke, she turned around, her white skirt swaying gently.

"Why are you waiting for me? Just go back to sleep." he asked.

"travel."

"Huh?" Ke Mingye was bewildered by this nonsensical statement.

“I want to travel,” Bai Ziling said softly, tilting her head slightly as strands of her snow-white hair swayed beside her ear. “But Dad and Mom won’t agree.”

"Uh...so, you want me to take you?"

"Ah."

Bai Ziling nodded and raised her eyes from her snow-white hair.

Those red eyes, seemingly veiled in mist, stared unblinkingly at Ke Mingye, as if waiting for his response.

Upon hearing this, Ke Mingye pondered for a moment.

To be honest, he was 100% certain that Gastro had planted a tight network of informants in key locations around Beijing, such as airport ticket inspectors and fishermen at the port.

Otherwise, why would Gastro so blatantly announce the arrival of vampire hunters throughout the city?

The strange words she manipulated from the hundreds of people she spoke might have sounded incomprehensible to ordinary people, but to a vampire, they were a clear indication.

You can tell from Bai Ziling's reaction.

She was so scared that she was trembling all over and hid in her room, refusing to come out.

This suggests that those words might be a spell used exclusively by vampire hunters, possessing the power to intimidate vampires. Gastro intended to use this spell to subtly signal to the white-haired vampire hiding in the city: We've arrived, you have nowhere to hide.

Gastro naturally anticipated that after receiving her threatening signal, the white-haired vampire would likely try to leave the city and hide far away out of fear.

So, she naturally placed informants at various exits throughout the city, and then, like a seasoned hunter, patiently waited for her prey to take the bait.

Moreover, Bai Ziling's physical characteristics are so distinctive: white hair and red eyes. Even if she wears a wig and colored contact lenses, she could still be identified by those vampire hunters using some kind of device.

Therefore, it was unrealistic to openly take Bai Ziling to another place, which was exactly what Gastro wanted.

Otherwise, Ke Mingye would have done that already.

If what Gastro said is true, then after 30 days, the vampire oath on her body will automatically activate, ending her life, which is as fragile as a candle in the wind.

Ke Mingye only needed to keep making excuses for his family and continue to flee with Bai Ziling. Then, once Gastro died, the group of vampire hunters behind her would probably stop their obsession with finding the white-haired vampire.

Even if they still refuse to give up by then, it would be a good thing for Ke Mingye.

With Gastro dead, Ke Mingye no longer needs to worry about his "player identity being exposed".

Aside from that, everything else is trivial: how can the remaining vampire hunters compare to the monsters and demons around him? If all else fails, he can have Bai Zini call Xi Ziyue over for a decisive, devastating attack.

Of course... Ke Mingye also thought that since he couldn't take Bai Ziling away from the city himself, he could leave the problem to other family members.

First of all, it's unlikely that Dad and Mom would be there. They just returned from a trip to London, England, and besides, Dad has a lot of business with the Superhero Association, so he simply can't get away.

So naturally, the task could only be left to his siblings.

Among this group of brothers and sisters, the eldest and second eldest brothers are naturally the most suitable.

If Ke Yinzhi and Ke Xiaomo were to take Bai Ziling out of the city, even if those vampire hunters were incredibly strong, they probably wouldn't be able to do anything to these two monster brothers working together.

However, the problem remains: allowing the eldest and second eldest brothers to make direct contact with Gastro could lead them to obtain clues about other players from him.

In other words, Ke Mingye will most likely expose his identity as a result.

To be honest, the last thing Ke Mingye wanted to see was Gastro falling into his older brother's hands.

The Black Judge understands the system's rules and will most likely be able to force Gastro to reveal information about other players while avoiding the death rule.

Given Black Judge's investigative abilities, after obtaining information from Gastro, there's a 90% chance that Ke Mingye's player identity will be exposed.

That's why he didn't really want his older brother and father, two overly shrewd people, to get involved in this matter.

However, since the situation is already so bad, taking a gamble might not be a bad choice.

Let Ke Yinzhi and Ke Xiaomo take Bai Ziling on a trip so that they can lure out the vampire hunters at the airport or train station.

Meanwhile, Ke Mingye secretly observed, hoping to find out Gastro's true form and eliminate her.

Of course, if his identity were to be exposed, Ke Mingye had a way to deal with it: he would take advantage of the fact that Ke Yinzhi and Ke Xiaomo had not yet returned home and escape by taking the train in the old Jingmai neighborhood.

From now on, I will no longer be a child of the Berke family, but a member of an anti-superhuman organization, a wandering traveler, or a hermit.

To be honest, no matter how things develop, it will be much easier than staying at this house for a year.

Thinking of this, Ke Mingye sighed.

He feigned helplessness and asked, "Why don't you ask my second brother or eldest brother? They're both college graduates and have more experience traveling long distances. I've never even left my province in my entire life. Asking me is just fooling myself."

“My brother said he had something to do,” Bai Ziling replied.

"Where's the second brother?"

"Same."

Upon hearing this, Ke Mingye couldn't help but shrug, thinking to himself that he should have expected it. How could these two be leisurely traveling at this time? They were probably thinking about parasites.

"Where's my sister?"

"I only want to go with Third Brother." After a moment of silence, Bai Ziling suddenly said.

"What about that elementary school student...you two are so close."

Ke Mingye asked curiously, thinking to himself, "You don't trust your brother that much? Why don't you bring a Calamity Dragon with you? If those vampire hunters make a move, just close the door and let the dragon swoop and bite them?"

"He is a primary school student."

"Then what's the point of you coming to me? Even if I'm not a primary school student, my parents definitely wouldn't allow me to go with you alone."

"why?"

"It's not realistic for a high school student and a middle school student like us to go on a trip alone. If I told my mom, she would definitely give me a good scolding. You just wait and see."

Bai Ziling put her hands behind her white dress, lowered her eyes, and remained silent.

Ke Mingye stared at her for a while, then asked in an annoyed tone, "You really want to go out and have fun that much?"

Bai Ziling nodded silently.

"Don't rush. There's still a month left in summer vacation. Let's talk about it next month," Ke Mingye said calmly. "Next month, our whole family will go on a trip together. We won't be short of time."

"Really?"

“Of course it’s true.” Ke Mingye shrugged. “When do I lie? Even if Dad and Mom don’t agree next month, I will try my best to persuade them.”

"Ah."

"Want me to go for a walk with you? I've noticed you haven't been going out much lately, just staying home." Ke Mingye paused for a moment. "You need to get some sunshine every now and then."

"I do not want to go out."

"Didn't you just say you wanted to travel?"

"I don't want to go out. But I also want to go to the areas surrounding Beijing."

Although Ke Mingye understood why she thought that way, he could only pretend not to understand and give her a puzzled look.

"I don't really understand what you middle schoolers are thinking. You're going through your rebellious phase too, right?"

After saying that, he changed into slippers and went inside.

For nearly a week after that, there was no further news from Gastro.

He didn't even post in the player discussion group; the last message in the local discussion group was on July 11th.

Before we knew it, it was July 20th.

Because he was unsure of Gastro's movements, Ke Mingye made his obsession disappear temporarily and try to leave the city center, but not completely, otherwise he might run into Gastro's spies.

Surprisingly, the paranoid adult did not object and obediently did as instructed.

In the end, only Ke Mingye and Cai Bing remained as players in the area surrounding Beijing. With only two of them, and given that Gastro's whereabouts were unknown, it was impossible for them to meet, much less run a dungeon together.

So, for the past few days, Ke Mingye has basically completed the daily tasks assigned by the system, then made an appearance at the Superhero Association, patrolled a specific area of ​​the city with the White Wing Squad, and then went to sleep as soon as the day was over, ignoring everything else.

As for the Alliance, since Ash didn't inform him, he wouldn't go.

Ke Mingye guessed that Bai Zini was probably still troubled by his affairs, so she didn't have time to care about the Alliance or Little Red Riding Hood. Every day, she would secretly fly behind Blue Owl on her magic umbrella, afraid that her brother would get his head blown off by some super criminal.

As a result, Magical Girl Ash, a member of the Allied Forces, was preoccupied with family matters and openly went on strike; the president of the Chinese branch was a lazy person like Xi Ziyue.

Therefore, Little Red Riding Hood naturally did not receive any notification from the Alliance during these days and was forced to take a leave of absence.

By July 20th, the one-month deadline for death mentioned by Gastro was fast approaching... This meant that there was a very high probability that Gastro would take action in the coming period. With her abilities, she could at least make a scene known throughout the city, since the authorities had not yet found a way to completely eliminate the parasites.

Ke Mingye still remembers that he left behind a trump card when he used the identity of the Dice Monster.

After his first meeting with Gastro, he had the strange thing tell Gastro that if Gastro brought it the head of the Blue Owl, it would tell Gastro the location of the player she was looking for and the white-haired vampire.

So during these days, when Ke Mingye was playing the Blue Owl, he always had the trickster puppet take the stage while he hid in a secluded corner, lest the Blue Owl actually get killed by Gastro sometime.

However, it was just a coincidence that he managed to pass the Superhero Association's routine brain imaging helmet test by having a puppet impersonate Blue Owl.

The test results undoubtedly led the association's senior management and Che Zhengchen to mistakenly believe that he was not a player.

Most importantly... the crow can also see the test results.
