Superman's End Manual

And why did the higher-ups turn off the surveillance cameras and activate the alert mode, drawing the attention of those superheroes to the outside of the building?

It's like helping these vampire hunters...

Commander Che said that the only person who can manually activate this alert mode is the president of the Beijing Surrounding Heroes Association branch, "Li Qingyao".

Could it be that... Li Qingyao has been infected by Gastro's parasites?

But when was that?

As the blue owl pondered this, it struggled to lift its head, forcing its trembling eyelids open to look ahead.

Then, a woman wearing a green raincoat and a blue demon mask slowly stepped out of the sedan chair and came into his blurry vision.

“So you’re Blue Owl,” Link said, glancing at the photo in his hand as he walked into the office. “I need to talk to you. Come with me.”

With that, she approached the office wall at an astonishing speed and knocked Blue Owl unconscious with a single blow while bending over.

Immediately afterward, Link glanced at Che Zhengchen out of the corner of his eye, casually pulled out an arrow, held it in his hand, and thrust it towards Che Zhengchen's arm.

"Uhhhhhh-!"

Che Zhengchen roared, unable to react to the superhuman attack as an ordinary person. A gash appeared on his arm, and blood gushed out like a waterfall, staining the arrow shaft crimson.

"I don't kill people indiscriminately, as a matter of principle. There's a little poison on it, so you can sleep for a while."

After saying that, Link turned his gaze away from Che Zhengchen.

She took a box out of her hand. "This thing has always been used for vampires. This is the first time it's been used on a living person."

As soon as she finished speaking, she pressed the box, and the blue owl's body was instantly sucked into the narrow box as if it were air.

Seeing this, Link put the box into his pocket, boarded the glass-walled elevator, and pressed the first button on the control panel.

"Blue Owl..."

The elevator doors closed and ascended. Che Zhengchen clutched the gash on his arm, helplessly watching Blue Owl being abducted. He slowly slumped against the office wall, his heavy eyelids closing.

At the same time, in a basement in the Rainbow Lights commercial district.

As the blue owl's perspective darkened, Ke Mingye slowly opened his eyes, cold sweat beading on his forehead.

"Gastro really did make a move against the Blue Owl, which played right into his hands."

he thought.

"It seems that Gastro won't kill me outright. So, I'll most likely see what these vampire hunters really are like next."

Please vote for me, thank you!

Chapter 199 Major Event Two: Vampire Hunter (Part Two)

July 21, in a secluded and hidden basement in the Hongdeng commercial district of the city surrounding Beijing.

The ceiling light bulb cast a pale, stark light, illuminating an operating table beneath it. On the bedside table lay some bloodstained dissection instruments.

Who knows what the anti-dogs have done here?

Right now, Ke Mingye was sitting on the bed, bent over, holding a black spare phone in his hand. He took a deep breath, his palms slightly sweaty.

At this moment, a full twenty minutes had passed since Blue Owl was abducted by the vampire hunter.

During those twenty minutes, the blue owl's vision was black, its hearing was also silent, and it was unable to move its body.

It felt like being locked in a cramped and dark box, unable to make a sound or see anything.

Ke Mingye opened his phone and stared at several contacts on the screen: Ke Xiaomo, Bai Qiuwu, and Bai Zini.

"We must act quickly; today may be our only chance," he thought. "The puppet's lifespan is only six hours, which means it will explode around eight o'clock at night. By then, it will be too late."

Twenty minutes earlier, at the Superhero Building, the con artist mascot playing Blue Owl had not actually fainted.

Ke Mingye had only instructed the doll to feign dizziness so that the archer would feel safe taking it away. But he never expected that the doll would be sucked into a box of unknown origin.

However, it's obvious without even guessing that it was most likely a tool used by vampire hunters to capture vampires.

Since she didn't kill Blue Owl directly, Gastro must have had her own reasons. She probably wanted to extract some information from Blue Owl, which is why she had the archers take him away.

This was exactly what Ke Mingye wanted; he needed this vampire hunter to bring the Blue Owl to Gastro.

Then, relying on Blue Owl's perspective and the information gap between the two sides, they will try to pinpoint Gastro's location. Finally, they will wipe out the vampire hunters today.

"The puppet's hearing is finally responding; it seems the archer has released it from the box," Ke Mingye thought. "Twenty minutes of unconsciousness should be enough; waking up now won't be too abrupt."

Thinking this, Ke Mingye ordered the blue owl to slowly open its eyelids and slightly raise its eyes.

Looking at his own body, he saw that the Blue Owl was bound to a thick pillar with layers of iron chains, unable to move his hands and feet. His body was suspended in mid-air.

The blue owl was still wearing his battle suit, but his head was not covered by a mask. Looking down, his red and blue helmet lay askew on the ground, his beak resting against the edge of a pillar.

Shifting my gaze from myself and looking up, what comes into view is a building that looks like it has been abandoned for a long time.

The blue owl twitched its nose slightly, and a musty, stale smell wafted towards it.

The air was thick with dust accumulated over the years. The walls had long since lost their original color. Patches of peeling plaster lay on the ground, revealing the yellowed bricks beneath. Moss had even grown in the corners.

Several dilapidated chandeliers, no longer functional, hung from the ceiling; some lampshades were broken, revealing rusty bases.

The ground was covered with a thick layer of dust and debris, along with some messy footprints.

All the windows were broken, and without the glass to block the flow, the warm midday air poured into the building.

The room was scattered with furniture, most of which was in disarray. The wooden tables and chairs were rotten and deformed from long-term exposure to wind and rain, while the metal products were covered with rust.

In the corner, there were piles of old papers and miscellaneous items, and occasionally a few open but unread books could be seen, their pages yellowed and curled, and the writing blurred.

At that moment, several rats scurried quickly through the ruins, making soft rustling sounds. Sunlight streamed in through the broken windows, casting dappled shadows on the ground.

The only person on this floor was a young girl in a wheelchair. She had long, flowing red hair, a pale face, but her sculpted features exuded a transcendent beauty.

Like a statue created by God himself, it stands breathtakingly beautiful in the center of a dirty and chaotic world.

Is this... Gastro's true form?

Ke Mingye paused for two seconds, thinking to himself. The red-haired girl who appeared in Blue Owl's eyes was exactly the same figure in Che Zhengchen's brain imaging.

At this moment, Gastro was looking down, quietly flipping through a fairy tale book. A slight smile played on her lips, like a girl immersed in a story.

Just as the blue owl was observing her profile, a cold voice suddenly entered its ears.

"So you were already awake."

Gastro said this without looking up.

Upon hearing this, the blue owl slightly opened its beak and emitted a slightly hoarse sound.

"You found out... So, red-haired lady, why did you hire someone to bring me here? Are you perhaps a huge fan of mine who wants to have a private chat with me?"

He paused, then continued, "If that's the case, you could have just told me directly. There was no need to be so rude. I'm a scoundrel; I accept anyone, especially a beautiful lady like you."

Gastro ignored his rubbish, keeping his eyes lowered as he quietly turned the pages of the fairy tale.

Amid the rustling sound of her fingers tracing the pages of the book, she said, "Just like everyone else says, you talk a lot."

"Isn't it?"

“My name is Stroll,” she said. “Someone sent me to kill you, and I had no choice but to bring you here.”

"Who?" Blue Owl paused. "Could it be... that strange thing?"

"I don't know who this strange thing you're talking about is. But if I'm not mistaken... it's probably the Dice Monster, right?"

"Otherwise what?" Blue Owl sighed.

"He's such a strange man," Stroll said casually. "He dresses himself up all drab."

"Indeed, it's incredibly strange."

After saying that, Blue Owl thought for a moment, then belatedly said, "Wait, so you're planning to hand me over to the Dice Monster?"

"Of course," Stroll said. "I'm waiting for him to show up, though I don't know when."

Upon hearing this, Blue Owl sighed softly and said irritably, "Let me put it this way, although I don't know what your purpose is, you've been played by him... He won't show up, I know his nature very well."

"Actually, it's not just the Dice Monster; I'm personally interested in you too."

"Uh... so it really was a fan meeting?"

As the blue owl spoke, it tried to tilt its head, but failed, its neck almost suffocating from the chains binding it.

As Stroll turned the page, she said, "You know, when you put on that mask, a panel appears above your head; and when you take the mask off, the panel disappears. It's very strange; it's the first time I've ever seen anything like it."

“I don’t understand what you’re saying,” said Blue Owl. “Although it’s not very polite, are you sober right now, or have you gone too far?”

"You really don't understand?"

"I don't understand." Blue Owl sighed again.

“In short, you’re not a normal person,” Stro paused, “but you’re not a player either, because I tried to send you a friend request, but it didn’t work.”

Hearing this, Ke Mingye in the basement widened his eyes slightly, thinking, "Sure enough, she is Gastero herself, otherwise why would she send a friend request to Blue Owl... That's right, as long as Second Brother and Father find this place, that's enough. Those vampire hunters should be lying in ambush nearby, but they can't be a match for Father."

He controlled the Blue Owl to speak, saying, "Player, now I understand. So you're the organization that... wants to exterminate superhumans within a year?"

“To be precise, I’m just one person, I don’t belong to any group.” Stroll smirked. “The other players don’t play with me.”
