Superman's End Manual

The quality of the video and audio in the live stream clearly shows that the person filming used very good equipment.

This kind of effect can only be achieved by voyeurs who specialize in illegally filming such scenes for profit, and is completely different from the kind of effect that passersby can achieve by simply taking out their phones to film.

However, although Ke Mingye could see the actions and conversations of the three figures in the sky above Beijing, he wasn't actually that engrossed in watching.

Because more than the three people in the footage, he was concerned about where Ke Youqing was in such a tense situation. Could he have been intercepted by other superhuman criminals?

After all, he had so many enemies.

But then Ke Mingye thought about it again and came up with another possibility—Ke Youqing might have gone with the police to help rescue the vehicles that had been hanging on the Huanjing Bridge by the ghost tree.

At that moment, the voyeur slammed the camera against the rooftop railing and made a significant adjustment to the lens in order to capture the three figures moving between the skyscrapers and dazzling neon lights.

Every frame is like looking at flowers through the fog, a fleeting glimpse.

Amidst the roar, the glass curtain walls and LED screens on the steel building shattered one after another. Amidst the flying ashes of the magical girl's skirt, tens of millions of glass shards rained down from the sky, like a blizzard, thoroughly drenching the city streets that were blocking traffic.

As glass shattered and slammed against the car body section by section, the piercing car alarms blared once again across the street.

Ke Mingye's eyelid twitched.

He thought to himself, "If you guys keep fighting like this, the whole city center will have to be renovated."

If you have any special moves, why don't you just use them already? Stop testing the waters. Do you really have to fight like in Dragon Ball, going from Super Saiyan 1 to Super Saiyan 5?

Especially since the "curfew" at home is approaching, Bai Zini and Bai Qiuwu, you two better not get locked out by Mom.

Just as Ke Mingye was engrossed in his reading, suddenly, a hoarse and gloomy voice rang out close at hand, its tone like a casual greeting:

"What are you doing?"

Ke Mingye was slightly taken aback, then blurted out, "What the hell?"

He quickly realized that the sound seemed to be coming from... the person taking the photos.

But the voyeur was hiding on the rooftop of a nearby residential building, so who was the person speaking in his ear?

"You are committing a crime... Filming scenes of superhumans fighting is strictly prohibited by law."

The voice spoke thus. A gloomy, hoarse echo reverberated across the deathly silent rooftop.

It sounded like the wailing of a giant crow, sending chills down one's spine.

The photographer turned his head and saw a deep shadow swaying in the moonlight on a corner of the rooftop, its shape resembling a giant crow.

At this moment, the camera also reflected a corner of the rooftop, revealing a long, narrow figure shrouded in shadow.

His face was covered by a strangely intricately curved mask, the eyes peeking out from their sockets shining brightly and deeply in the darkness like torches, a blue bird's beak protruding from the philtrum of the mask. A cloak like a robe covered his body, as if trying to melt him into the night.

Seconds earlier, knowledgeable viewers had already recognized the source of the voice. Upon seeing this, the upper half of the live stream was instantly filled with lines of comments.

"It's Blue Raven! I knew that bastard would come!"

"He finally came! I bet all 30,000 yuan on him, I thought I was going to go bankrupt!"

"Holy crap! Holy crap! The crow is here! This is the first time an illegal live stream has captured the crow's face at such close range!"

"What are you waiting for? Start recording the screen!"

Ke Mingye was tearing open the packaging of a fast food bread when he saw this scene and was slightly taken aback.

"Father has finally arrived."

He tore open the bread packaging as he thought about it.

"You're too slow! Your two daughters have already fought the villains two or three times up there..."

At this moment, the strange hero "Blue Raven," dressed in battle armor, was leaning against a corner of the rooftop, his deep eyes behind the mask staring intently at the photographer.

The sharp beak in the center of the face resembles a deadly blade, pointing directly at the camera.

The voyeur recognized him and, while pointing the camera at him, shouted incoherently, "Don't come any closer! There are lots of people watching!"

The camera was shaking violently, highlighting his fear.

Seeing the man's reaction as if he had seen a ghost, Ke Mingye couldn't help but laugh, thinking to himself: "Brother, you're really funny. Is this reaction really necessary? This guy in front of you may be dressed a bit scary and all dark, but he's still an officially recognized superhero. Is it really necessary to be so startled?"

Besides, you're live streaming. Even if my dad has a terrible temper, he shouldn't go that far...

It's not that bad...

As Ke Mingye was thinking this, the crow vanished from its spot in the next instant. At the same time, the camera lens suddenly went black, as if a sheet had been drawn over it.

All that remained was silence.

Silence as death.

"……what?"

"what?"

Ke Mingye uttered two questions in succession, his fingers, which were tearing open the packaging bag, paused, and his expression froze for a second.

"Wait a minute, Dad's not really going to kill him, is he?"

At this moment, the entire live stream screen was black, with only lines of pale comments rapidly scrolling across the top.

After a two-second silence, he put down the bread, left the live stream, and opened the live stream list on Grey Pigeon Network, only to find that there was still a whole page of live streams about the "Ghost Tree".

So I breathed a sigh of relief: "At least there's still something to watch."

I raised my finger, about to click, but in that short second, all the live stream covers went black, one after another.

Like dominoes being toppled.

In the end, all that remained was deathly darkness and silence.

Seeing that something was wrong, Ke Mingye's expression changed: "Is there really nothing left to watch?" As he spoke, he flipped through two more pages and found that the ten live stream rooms on the next page were also going black one after another.

It was like someone had turned off the lights.

Without exception, the last shot in these voyeurs' live streams was either a giant crow descending from the sky or bursting out of the shadows.

After a three-second silence, Ke Mingye, clutching the half-opened bread wrapper, sighed deeply.

His feelings were incredibly complicated, like his internet cable had been unplugged. He had originally wanted to see what kind of chemistry would happen when his father, older sister, and younger sister got together.

Now that's good, everyone can stop watching.

Thinking this, Ke Mingye browsed through "Grey Pigeon Network" and randomly clicked on a few live streams. As he expected, the chat in these live streams was filled with furious insults directed at "Blue Raven".

He finally understood why the strange hero "Green Crow" had such a bad reputation on the internet; there was some truth to it.

"Dad, what are you doing, Dad?"

Ke Mingye lowered his head and complained softly.

"You arrive on site and do absolutely nothing but unplug everyone's internet cables, right? You're so damn well polite..."

Chapter 9 The Dragon of Calamity

Ke Mingye took a bite of fast food bread, then flipped through a few more pages of the Grey Pigeon Station's live stream, discovering that Ke Youqing had indeed wiped out all the people who were illegally filming.

No one survived.

"I estimate that all the passersby watching the live stream on those hundreds of illegal websites have turned against us. The number of haters has increased by several blocks overnight."

"This is our Chinese superhero! First, he appears like a ghost in a horror movie, scaring people away; then, instead of doing anything about the criminals, he unplugs the internet cables of the vast majority of netizens."

"Let's just stop calling it 'Blue Raven' and rename it 'Terrifying Raven Man'."

"Heh, do you have any dark heroes like this overseas? Do you even know what a dark hero is? Don't even mention others, your son is even thinking of complaining to the Superhero Association about you."

While muttering sarcastic remarks, Ke Mingye operated his phone and exited the "Grey Pigeon Network".

Just as he put down his phone, a system panel suddenly popped up in front of him.

[System Announcement 1: As of now, all surviving players have passed the three-day adaptation test—the purpose of which was to help players understand and adapt to the current state of this parallel world. (A second warning: Do not reveal your identity to the superhumans around you before you have sufficient power.)]

[System Announcement 2: Tomorrow morning, the "Daily Quests," "Global Dungeons," "Player Communication," "System Shop," and other features will be officially launched...]

"Great, at least I can finally discuss my experiences over the past three days with the other ninety-odd unlucky chosen ones. Hopefully, their start was as hellish as mine—surrounded by a bunch of superhuman beings with 'demon father' data. Otherwise, I really might commit suicide..."

Thinking this, Ke Mingye selected "Confirm Received Announcement" at the bottom of the panel, got out of bed, put on his slippers, and walked out of the room.

Just as they reached the second-floor corridor, Bai Wenna's voice came from the first floor: "Mingye, tell Ziling to come downstairs and get the cut fruit!"

"coming."

Ke Mingye casually replied and walked to Bai Ziling's room.

The door was closed, so he knocked gently and said irritably, "Mom's calling you downstairs for fruit."

He knocked again, but there was still no response.

"Going to bed so early?"

He raised an eyebrow, turned the doorknob, and clicked it shut. He glanced down at his phone; it was only seven.

"She's not inside..."

Ke Mingye found it strange that Bai Ziling's room was eerily quiet, yet it was tightly locked.

But the thought that his second sister, Bai Ziling, was a vampire made him feel relieved. Ke Mingye thought she had most likely already slipped out the window and gone to the hospital to steal blood bags, or perhaps she had taken a more direct approach... attacking passersby to replenish her blood.
