Superman's End Manual

The trickster puppet sneered as it slowly raised its head from the back of the ghostly man, straightened its body, and lowered its right hand to shoot spider silk towards the ghostly man's four hooves.

With a few "snap" sounds, the highly adhesive spider web firmly secured each of its hooves to the inside of the pit.

The eccentric man was still struggling, using his remaining two human arms to support himself on the ground, trying to lift his body out of the pit.

But at that very moment, Ke Mingye ordered the trick puppet to take out the "One-Time Summoning Card - Self-Destructing Zombie" from its bag, and a card appeared between the trick puppet's fingers.

It crouched down on the centaur's back, crushed the card, and the next moment, a hideous zombie appeared on the centaur's back and tightly hugged its head.

"What, what is this?!"

The eccentric man screamed in terror. He couldn't see what the creature holding him was, but he could feel a rapidly rising heat emanating from it.

"Surprise."

The trickster puppet grinned, shot out a spider silk that stuck to a nearby traffic light sign, pushed off the back of the centaur, and instantly leaped high into the air, grabbing the spider silk and swinging above the traffic light sign.

The next instant, the zombie's body rapidly heated up and cracked, turning into a burst of violent flames that engulfed the ghostly man's head.

The thick, black blood that spurted from the skull evaporated into gas in the flames and vanished in the blink of an eye.

After a while, a red panel popped up in front of Ke Mingye's eyes, announcing the death of the mischievous man.

You have successfully completed "Daily Task 3: Kill a Superhuman". This is a special task; please claim your reward promptly.

The trickster doll, perched atop the traffic light sign, confirmed the charlatan was completely dead and was about to leave when it suddenly noticed a figure standing beside it.

It paused for two seconds, then slowly turned its face to look at the figure. It was a man shrouded in a black cloak, wearing a black mask, with a menacing blue bird beak protruding from his philtrum.

You seem to be having a lot of fun.

The dark figure spoke in a hoarse voice, the eerie tone almost penetrating the mind of the trickster doll.

Please vote for me with your monthly tickets, thank you. There will be another chapter later.

Chapter 74 "Strange Things" VS. Blue Raven

On the night of June 21, in the steel jungle of skyscrapers surrounding the city center of Beijing, electronic signs were densely packed together, like a deck of cards spread out on a card table.

Every giant screen in the square was broadcasting the same image: a gray, strange man crouching on a traffic light sign, with a deep pit beneath him.

Lying in the pit was a bloody, mangled figure—the villain he had just defeated, "Ghostly Man."

The world fell into a brief silence, then every citizen pointed to the figure crouching on the light board and began the classic post-war cheering.

It was the same old three-part routine from superhero movies: someone kneeling and crying, someone clapping, someone screaming and cheering, and then a little kid pointing his finger at him and shouting, "Mommy, it's a superhero! We've been saved!"

The trickster scratched his cheek, thinking to himself, "My handsome photo is still on the wanted list on the superhero website. But since you guys want to do this, then go ahead."

"What a strange-looking superhero! I can't find him on the official website?"

Why is it wearing a flight attendant's uniform?

"It's hanging out with crows, it doesn't look like a good superhero, is that strange?"

"Blue Crow?"

The moment the trickster heard the name, he realized something was wrong. Just then, a hoarse, sinister voice rang in his ears, as if his brain was being shaken.

You seem to be having a lot of fun.

That's what the voice said.

The doll suddenly turned its head and looked at the blue crow, who was also standing above the traffic light sign. Some children in the crowd started crying as soon as they saw him, as if they had seen a nightmare that kept them awake.

Since Blue Raven debuted and became the model worker of the Superhero Association's Beijing branch, the sleep quality of every child in the city has been declining sharply. People often dream of a giant crow baring its fangs and claws, pouncing on them and devouring their flesh.

This is the impression Ke Youqing leaves on people. His extremely violent methods, while eliminating most crimes, also earned him a position of being condemned by the public.

Right now, Ke Mingye himself is sitting on the sofa drinking cola, watching Bai Ziling and Bai Zini play "Double Team".

Turning his head, he saw Qingya's face, and the horror was no less than seeing a female ghost lunge at his face and scream in a horror movie. His right hand trembled, the Coke bottle tilted, and the drink spilled onto the elementary school student's shoulder.

"What the hell?! Are you crazy?!"

Ke Yongzhu was taken aback at first, then jumped up and down, quickly patted his clothes, and asked Ke Mingye with a dark face.

"It's okay, you're going to take a shower later anyway."

Ke Mingye felt a cold sweat pour down his back. After giving a few perfunctory replies, he breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to pat Ke Yongzhu's soaked shoulder.

He used to watch live streams on the dark web and mocked those who filmed illegally and the main villains. Every time he saw Qingya, his reaction was so exaggerated. Was it really necessary? He acted like he was afraid of being eaten. But after experiencing it himself, he realized that people who haven't been through it can't truly understand.

It's no different from being kicked off a cliff from behind before you've even properly fastened your safety gear while bungee jumping.

Not being scared to death already shows a very good mental fortitude.

At that moment, the doll raised a non-existent eyebrow, slowly rose from the traffic light sign, removed its train hat, and bowed to him.

“Isn’t this Mr. Green Raven? My apologies, I didn’t even notice you were here.”

“Don’t bow to me, you’re a wanted criminal,” said Blue Crow.

“Yes.” The puppet put the train conductor’s hat back on. “But I just dealt with a criminal of the same wanted level as me. That should make up for it, right? After all, my crimes were just arson on the viaduct and blowing up a traffic light pole. As for the fabricated charge of causing a mass streaking incident, I think I’d rather die than admit to that…”

It paused for a moment: "Mr. Blue Raven, don't let my villainous appearance fool you, I actually have the heart of a superhero."

"Do you really think you can kill him on your own?" Blue Raven asked.

The puppet pointed to the mangled corpse in the pit, then turned to the crow: "What else? Its body is already cold. Are you still questioning me?"

“While you were pinning him down in the crater, I fired an inhibitor into his body, rendering his ‘ghost body’ ineffective,” the Raven said slowly. “Otherwise, you would soon have discovered that the Ghost Man not only survived the explosion but also escaped your web of restraints.”

The doll suddenly realized something, lowered the brim of its hat, and muttered to itself.

"I see... I was wondering why this supervillain didn't have a move that made his body untouchable, but he didn't use it even when he was about to die."

"He's not a supervillain, just an insignificant character like you."

The crow looked down at the corpse on the ground and sneered.

"Alright, alright, an insignificant figure." The puppet shrugged. "Getting back to the point, even if I didn't kill him on my own, I at least helped you deal with him, don't you think that's enough to make up for it?"

“You’re a wanted criminal; these things need to be considered at the police station.”

"What if I don't?"

As he spoke, the trickster puppet leaped off the top of the traffic light sign and soared into the air above the street, while simultaneously lowering its right hand and shooting spider silk towards a screen embedded in the surface of a high-rise building.

But in the next instant, before it could even react to what was happening, its body was seized by a black shadow that swept past, and it was then carried and shot toward the surface of a tall building, climbing upwards along the glass curtain wall until it finally arrived above the city.

Under this unstoppable onslaught, the glass of the entire curtain wall shattered one after another, pouring onto the street like a torrential downpour, causing screams from the crowd below.

The blue raven hovered in mid-air, and one after another, jet-black crows flew out from his cloak, as if these crows were supporting his body and floating in the sky.

Surrounded by crows, he grabbed the doll by the neck and slammed its head into a screen used for movie promotion, creating a dent in the giant screen.

Bang!

Inside the giant screen were a tangled mess of wires, and stray bolts of electricity ravaged the doll's face, almost tearing its brain apart.

Upon witnessing this scene, screams erupted from the lower levels of the city. The entire block erupted in discussion, and vehicles that had been driving on the road came to a halt. Everyone leaned out of their windows, gazing up at the bizarre sight.

—The Blue Raven pressed the superhero who had just saved the Huanjing Bridge into the LED display screen.

It's like being electrocuted.

"Behave yourself and don't even think about running away. Even if there were ten thousand of you, you wouldn't be able to escape my grasp."

The raven sneered hoarsely, its eyes behind the mask gleaming with a violent light. With each word it spoke, the hand gripping the doll's neck tightened, as if it would crush its neck in the next second.

"Cough...cough cough, buddy, do you consider yourself a superhero?"

The doll's face was distorted, but its mouth was still grinning wide open.

“You should really look at the eyes of those people down there, look at their slightly open mouths. They clearly want to rebel against you, they clearly want to yell at you, but they can't utter a single word, they just stand there frozen in place. Do you know why?”

It paused, then leaned close to the blue crow's ear and said, almost word by word, "Because they are afraid of you..."

"So," Blue Raven lowered his face and asked coldly, "what are you trying to say?"

"So?" The puppet stared into the eyes behind the raven mask, laughing maniacally, "So in their eyes, I am the hero, and you... are not a hero at all, just a thug."

"I don't care whether I'm considered a hero in anyone's eyes; I only care whether what I did was right."

The raven stared straight at him, speaking coldly, its black cloak billowing in the night sky.

Holding the doll in his right hand, he was lifted up by countless crows and shot into the sky like a black tide, disappearing in an instant into the view of thousands of cameras.

"It's a pity, I probably won't be able to accompany you back to the police station, Mr. Green Crow."

The doll watched itself getting further and further away from the ground and sighed softly: "You're really annoying, like a wild bull whose intelligence hasn't been developed yet. Maybe those so-called supervillains are more reasonable than you."

As soon as he finished speaking, his body rapidly heated up and cracked in the darkness, with fissures filled with violent light spreading across his body and eventually reaching his face.

The crow noticed this and stopped in mid-air, no longer rising.

"No one will remember you, you tyrant... no one will."

After uttering a somber remark, the doll's body exploded completely. The crow released its grip on its neck and vanished from the spot.

After a while, a burst of intense light rose into the sky above the city center of the area surrounding Beijing, illuminating the dark night like fireworks and eliciting cheers from the crowds on the street.

"Why are there fireworks tonight?"
