Superman's End Manual

Finally, he raised his right elbow and slammed it into the puppet attacking from the right, knocking it back. At the same time, he swung his charred left fist and smashed it into the puppet's head.

The puppet flew several meters backward and crashed into a wooden clothes rack.

"Your hands are burned like that, and you're still so good at fighting?" Sterling's sarcastic voice rang out.

"It does hurt a bit. The feeling of burning someone else is different from burning yourself."

As he spoke, Ke Mingye charged forward while activating his "Solar Energy Punch," converting all the accumulated solar energy into heat and kinetic energy. Rolling streams of heat emanated from his fists, unleashing a gust of wind carrying waves of heat. With a horizontal swing in the air, several parasitic puppets that were charging towards him were sent flying backward.

More and more parasitic puppets poured in from the entrance of the clothing store. A dark mass, like a tide, almost submerged Ke Mingye's vision.

But at this moment, his other vision had already found Stroll hiding among the puppets.

In that instant, the dice monster lurking on the ceiling suddenly reverted to its invisibility form granted by the "Night Walker Belt" and plummeted from the sky like a phantom at breakneck speed.

The four mechanical spider legs behind her spun in the air, striking at Stroll's head like scythes.

But the next moment, Stella's figure suddenly vanished.

Immediately afterwards, her body transformed into ten enormous mirrors that appeared in the air above the clothing store. Each mirror reflected her image upside down, creating a rather eerie scene.

If the Anchor Point Sunglasses' ability hadn't been still on cooldown, Ke Mingye would have already pulled out the sunglasses to lock onto Gastro's location.

The Dice Monster did not make any rash moves.

The moment it landed, it swept away the parasitic puppets around it with its four mechanical legs, then shot spider silk at one of the mirrors and activated its "electric shock function".

The electric current traveled along the spider silk to the mirror, causing it to shatter instantly.

"What's going on?" Ke Mingye frowned slightly, thinking, "Did he use a skill to hide his body in one of these 10 mirrors?"

At that moment, the remaining nine mirrors reflected Stroll all spoke at the same time.

"A deadly lie."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ke Mingye suddenly shivered, and a system notification sounded in his mind.

[Based on the rules of the C-rank skill "Fatal Lie," you are able to know the skill's effects.]

[Fatal Lie (Within a certain range, throw a sentence at a human target with normal judgment and language abilities. The target must judge whether the sentence is a lie within 5 seconds. If the target answers correctly, the skill caster loses half of their stamina and suffers 30% of their maximum health loss. If the target answers incorrectly, the skill caster immediately refreshes the cooldown of this skill, and the target's body will suffer maximum health damage based on the number of seconds since the answer was given.)]

If the response takes more than 5 seconds, the other party will lose the opportunity to respond and will directly suffer damage equal to 25% of their maximum health.

"What the hell……"

Ke Mingye raised an eyebrow, using solar energy to punch and repel the surging puppets while thinking to himself.

"In short, according to the skill rules, the faster you answer, the better. This will help you avoid penalties for taking too long to answer."

Before he could think, Stroll, reflected in the nine mirrors, spoke simultaneously.

“I have already revealed your identity to your family.”

The skill user has uttered a statement; please determine if it is a lie.

Hearing the system notification, Ke Mingye swung his fiery fist and smashed it hard against a puppet, all the while blurting out the words.

"truth."

To be honest, he couldn't imagine that he was so late and Gastro hadn't yet explained his identity to his family.

If he were Gastro, he would reveal evidence of his identity as a player to his family in order to disrupt their fighting spirit.

[Incorrect answer; this statement is a lie. You have 3 seconds to answer, and will suffer damage equal to 5% of your maximum health over 3 seconds. The skill caster will also instantly refresh the cooldown of "Fatal Lie."]

The next moment, thin, long cuts suddenly appeared on Ke Mingye's chest, and blood gushed out, staining his T-shirt red.

He paused, then touched one of the bloody gashes in his chest. The smell of blood filled his nostrils, and his Adam's apple bobbed.

“So, the second sentence…” Stroll curled her lips and continued.

However, before she could finish speaking, the Dice Monster shot out a spider web at the first mirror from left to right, pulled itself up by the web, and used its mechanical spider legs to smash three mirrors at the same time.

Six mirrors remain suspended in mid-air.

"Just smash all the mirrors as quickly as possible; Stroll should be hiding in one of them..."

As Ke Mingye thought about it, he rolled to the side, avoiding a puppet's attack.

Immediately afterwards, he swept his leg over, flipping the puppet over. He then reached out with his right hand, grabbed the puppet's leg, and dragged it diagonally to the right, tripping over nearly a dozen other puppets in the process.

Amidst the torrential rain of shattered glass, Steller's indifferent voice rang out, "I have no intention of revealing your identity to your family..."

The skill user has uttered a statement; please determine if it is a lie.

Ke Mingye grabbed the arm of a puppet and spun it like a windmill, smashing aside the horde of puppets surging in from all directions, and instinctively replied.

"lie."

[Incorrect answer. This statement is not a lie. Your response took 2 seconds. You will suffer damage equal to 5% of your maximum health over 2 seconds, and the skill user's cooldown will be refreshed.]

As the system notification sounded, a huge bloody gash instantly appeared on Ke Mingye's waist. He clutched his waist and knelt on the ground, the blood seeping from his waist staining his charred fingers red.

At the same time, the Dice Monster shot spider silk at the other six mirrors in mid-air. It swung diagonally upwards along the silk, smashing four mirrors in succession with each punch.

boom!

Four crisp sounds rang out in succession, scattering shards of glass across the ground. Only two mirrors remained suspended in mid-air.

Ke Mingye stared at the two mirrors, where Stroll's reflection remained calm.

“So this is the third sentence,” she said softly, her mouth slightly open, “I want to kill you.”

"truth."

The moment he finished speaking, Ke Mingye's pupils dilated slightly. His left arm snapped with a "crack," dangling down like a kite with a broken string.

[Incorrect answer. This statement is a lie. The time taken for this answer is 2 seconds. You will suffer damage equal to 5% of your maximum health over 2 seconds, and the skill user's cooldown will be refreshed.]

He took a deep breath, looked up, and saw the puppets swarming towards him.

At the same time, he caught out of the corner of his eye that two or three of the puppets deliberately bypassed him and attacked Bai Ziling in the corner of the clothing store.

So he pushed off the ground, did a backflip, and distanced himself from the puppet in front of him.

At the same time, he protected Bai Ziling's front, and with his right fist and elbow, he smashed out, sending the two puppets that were rushing towards Bai Ziling flying.

Ke Mingye breathed a sigh of relief, raised his eyes, and looked at the two remaining mirrors in mid-air.

"Gastro is hiding in those last two mirrors..."

As he was thinking, the Dice Monster grabbed a spider silk thread and flew towards the last two mirrors suspended in mid-air. It spun around and used the tips of its mechanical legs to shatter both mirrors simultaneously.

Bang!

Bang!

However, as the last two mirrors shattered and glass shattered, Stroll's voice still echoed in the clothing store.

She said, "If I could... I wouldn't want to hurt you."

All the mirrors were broken, but she was still alive.

She was never hiding in those mirrors from the beginning; it was just a smokescreen.

Ke Mingye paused for two seconds, then looked up at the dark mass of puppets in front of him. He couldn't find Stelo's figure for the time being, so he gritted his blood-stained teeth.

“A lie,” he said.

[Incorrect answer. This statement is not a lie. Your response took 2 seconds. You will suffer damage equal to 5% of your maximum health over 2 seconds, and the skill user's cooldown will be refreshed.]

A gash appeared on Ke Mingye's forehead, and the blood that flowed from it stained his right eye.

He felt a wave of dizziness.

In a flash, the Dice Monster fell from the sky, its empty eyes scanning the surroundings.

It could see that the puppets were densely packed in a corner, as if concealing someone's figure, so it raised its mechanical leg and kicked a bookshelf, using the recoil to shoot forward and smash through the puppets blocking its way.

Soon, it found Strow hiding behind one of the pillars.

As Stroll backed away, she said, "The reason I didn't reveal your identity was to keep it as a backup plan to threaten you and force you to let me go."

"truth."

The moment the words left his mouth, a deep gash appeared on Ke Mingye's right leg, and blood gushed out.

At this moment, he was covered in blood, with not a single part of him intact.

[Incorrect answer. This statement is a lie. The time taken for this answer is 2 seconds. You will suffer damage equal to 5% of your maximum health over 2 seconds, and the skill user will have this skill's cooldown refreshed.]

"The last sentence..."

As Stroll watched the Dice Monster approaching, she manipulated her puppet to pounce on it and said this.

"Actually, I quite like you, in every sense of the word."

In his dazed state, Ke Mingye, holding his bleeding forehead, spoke slowly.

"truth."

[Correct answer. The user is penalized: losing half of their stamina and 30% of their health.]

As the system notification faded, half of Stroll's face instantly split open, revealing the stark white bone beneath. Blood splattered in the air and covered the ground.

She covered her cheek, while the other half of her face remained calm as she spoke softly.

"What a pity, you guessed right. You did it on purpose, didn't you? I made it so obvious before, but you acted like you didn't want to accept my kindness..."
