Superman Termination Manual

Chapter 133 The Superhero Hunt Plan

Ke Mingye rubbed Yuri's head casually and said, "My sister adopted her. She said she had to keep it a secret from you, otherwise you definitely wouldn't allow her to keep a cat."

Ke Youqing looked at Yuri for a while and then looked away.

He sat down at the dining table and opened the newspaper, "Isn't it because of you guys' mom?"

"I've already said no," Bai Wenna said. "Qiuwu will be in her senior year next year; she won't have time to take care of this cat. It's only now during the summer vacation that she seems to have some free time."

Ah, not only can your daughter take care of this cat, but she's also got a monkey on her mind, so stop worrying.

Thinking this, Ke Mingye spoke up for Yuri, "It's fine, Bai Zini and Bai Ziling can also take care of the cat. Everyone can take turns."

"Exactly," Bai Ziling, sitting on the couch and playing with her phone, added, "My sister and I can take turns caring for her. If we count Big Bro as a half, that's three and a half people taking care of it."

Ke Mingye said helplessly, "You could just not count me as a person at all; no need to be so subtle about it."

"Then it's three people."

Bai Ziling lifted her red eyes under her snowy-white locks of hair and said indifferently.

"Yeah, yeah, this cat is really lucky to be taken care of by three of my family's beautiful girls in turn."

As Ke Mingye spoke, he vigorously squished Yuri's chubby cheeks, kneading them up and down.

"Meow."

Yuri stuck out her tongue and licked her own paw, looking innocent.

However, in the ears of Ke Mingye, who had mastered the Animal Communication Skill, this "meow" carried a lot of weight—it meant "idiot."

Ke Mingye's face darkened, and he rose from the sofa, "I'll take her out for a walk."

"Come back before dinner, don't make your mom call you," Ke Youqing cautioned.

"Okay."

After speaking, Ke Mingye carried Yuri and left the house, taking the elevator downstairs.

He dared not experiment with his dad's superpower at home—in case he blew up the house. What would happen then? Even more humorously, perhaps his dad would think it occurred due to his own uncontrolled superpower and start questioning his life.

It sounds interesting, but Ke Mingye wouldn't risk death, especially with Bai Wenna still at home.

Soon, Ke Mingye, holding Yuri, reached the abandoned train station in the Old Jingmai District. Under the moonlight, Yuri jumped down from his arms and landed on the ground.

"Come on, show me the ability you just stole."

Ke Mingye sat on a public wooden bench, staring at her.

"No class, what do you mean 'stole'? It was clearly 'copied'."

Yuri retorted disdainfully, lifting her paw, which suddenly began to flutter with a crow thrashing its wings.

The crow hovered over her head, its eyes showing an eerie red in the dark night.

"What's the use of that crow?" Ke Mingye asked.

"I can see what it sees, hear what it hears. It's basically a crow monitor," Yuri explained.

"That's it?" Ke Mingye thought of a saying online and asked, "Can it explode?"

Online it was often said that crows created by Qing Ya could explode, which is why his opponents were extremely wary of approaching him. Who wouldn't be scared of a flock of crows that could explode at any moment?

"No."

Ki Mingye was puzzled, "Then why can Qing Ya make his crows explode? I've seen many of Qing Ya's fight videos, and his crows always explode as they fly toward the opponent."

He paused, "You did not steal a pirated superpower, did you?"

Yuri snorted coldly, "You are insulting me."

"Okay, I get it," Ke Mingye said. "Since dad's crows can't explode, then he must be stealthily installing bombs that have some kind of trigger mechanism, unnoticed, on the crows during fights."

"What do I care?"

Ke Mingye sighed, "Then what other abilities does this crow have?"

"I can switch places with it," Yuri said, having already switched places with the crow flying in mid-air. She fell from the sky, cushioning her landing with her paws.

As for that crow, it disappeared, as if it had melted into the deep night.

"Where's your crow?" Ke Mingye asked, puzzled.

"After switching places, the crow used for the switch disappears," Yuri explained.

Upon hearing this, Ke Mingye suddenly remembered his C-grade item—the Bluebird Scout Plane, thinking to himself if the system really had to cut corners like this. The functionality of the Bluebird Scout Plane was exactly the same as his dad's superpower.

The difference was that his dad could create thousands of crows, but there was only one Bluebird Scout Plane.

Thinking this, Ke Mingye continued to ask, "Can you only create one crow?"

Yuri licked her paw and said, "Idiot, creating too many would drive me mad. Imagine having so many extra fields of vision and voices in your mind, listening to a thousand crows screeching beside your ear, you think I can stand it?"

"So, can you create multiple crows?"

"No, the superpower I copied is a weakened version."

"Okay, you finally admit that what you stole was a pirated version."

Ke Mingye gave Yuri a contemptuous look.

Yuri was still trying to save face, "But after stealing a superpower, I can analyze and understand it. There definitely isn't a 'make crows explode' function in his superpower."

"Fine, then dad is just planting bombs on crows. It's just that he's fast enough that opponents can't see it," Ke Mingye said.

Saying this, Ke Mingye felt a bit disappointed. He thought to himself that his dad's superpower was so plain and simple compared to his older brother's crazy abilities; it turns out, after decades of fighting, it all depended on physical skill and experience.

Yuri yawned and smacked her lips, "Are we done yet? Hanging out with you is so boring, the big boss is going back to sleep."

"Alright, tomorrow let's have elder sister take you to the hospital for a castration surgery."

"You dare?"

As Yuri spoke, she conjured a crow, which shot towards Ke Mingye's face, then Yuri swapped places with the crow, and clawed at his face.

Ke Mingye pulled out his electromagnetic pulse gloves and raised his hand to block the claw.

The claw scratched against the metal, making a cracking sound, and it hurt so much that she was rolling on the ground, holding her paw and wailing, muttering under her breath.

"You're done for, big boss will definitely crawl into your bed and poop tomorrow."

"Hey, bro, I was just kidding. Do I look like the type who'd stab you in the back after crossing the river? I'll try not to let elder sister castrate you, here, have some cat treats."

Saying this, Ke Mingye put away his electromagnetic pulse gloves and pulled out a pack of cat treats from his pocket, placing them on the ground.

Yuri's pain seemed to vanish instantly; she scurried up and dove towards the cat treats, clamping them in her mouth and gnawing vigorously.

"Once you're done eating, it's time to go home," said Ke Mingye. "Let's collaborate more in the future, I should have many situations where I'll need you."

"Just keep the big boss happy, that'll do."

"Sure sure sure, there'll be plenty for you to eat, I'll take you to the food street to enjoy some treats."

Yuri, with a cat treat in her mouth, lifted her head, stayed silent for a moment, then reluctantly turned her head away.

"Deal."

........

The next day.

[Good morning, Mr. Player, today is July 6, 2028. You have 347 days left until the deadline to complete the ultimate mission "Exterminate Superhumans."]

Ke Mingye opened his eyes and scratched his messy hair.

After washing up, he left his home, went for a run along Old Jingmai District, finished a hundred frog jumps, and splendidly completed his daily mission.

[You have received the reward for daily mission 2 "One Hundred Frog Jumps", earning 1 attribute point to assign freely.]

[Your "Spiritual Strength" attribute has changed: 11?12 points (?1 point).]

[You have received the reward for daily mission 1 "Run Five Kilometers," earning a chance for a spin-the-wheel lottery.]

[You have drawn the reward from area three—"A Fragment of the Divine Disc", you currently hold 3 fragments, needing 2 more fragments to assemble the Divine Disc.]

He was idle all day, staying home and playing games for a while with Bai Ziling and Ke Yongzhu.

Ke Yongzhu had shut himself in his room for two full days and only decided to come out for some air today.

Seeing him so pitiful, Ke Mingye, as "the only brother in the family who didn't know he was a dragon," joined him for a round of games.

Ke Yongzhu was delighted, thinking to himself that the whole family except for you doesn't know my identity, so I feel no pressure in front of you, and thus even talked more frequently with Ke Mingye, his tone less arrogant than usual.

Thus, their relationship reached an unprecedented height.

Perhaps this was what fraternal respect looked like.

At the stroke of five in the afternoon, Ke Mingye received a message from Fan Quan.

[Fan Quan: It's time to move, head to Tokyo for the instance.]

[Failed Man: Coming, haven't played an instance in two weeks, my hands are itching.]

After sending the message, he released a Deception Puppet from the windowsill of his room, dressed it in a windproof jacket and athletic pants, then sped off towards the abandoned train station in Old Jingmai District.

Fan Quan and Qing Meng were already there waiting for him.

As for Cai Bing and Paranoia, they were ordered to stay on standby in the city.

It was a helpless measure; they didn't have the loot card for instance No. 7 "Crazy Train Station" necessary to board the train.

Next, Ke Mingye would follow Fan Quan to Tokyo, meeting up with Top Bull and two other players from that side, as well as Ju Zipi who was undergoing training at the Host Club.

According to Fan Quan, their trip to Tokyo was not only to clear two instances but also to jointly hunt down a superhero known as "Ji Feng Samurai."

Ke Mingye had heard about this superhero. Although not very strong, he was somewhat famous in Japan; he had even seen his action figures in a toy shop in Kabukicho, selling hot and thus prominently displayed.

But this was just a facade; in reality, like Divine Communicator Zeus, this hero was outwardly glamorous but inwardly corrupt, involved in various scandals like assaulting women, tax evasion, and colluding with the Japanese mob to oppress local residents...

In Japan, however, the mob held certain sway, hence the Tokyo mob put pressure on the Superhero Association, and all the misdeeds of Ji Feng Samurai were suppressed.

Opposing Ji Feng Samurai meant opposing the Japanese mob, a very dangerous affair.

Of course, if the assassination plan went smoothly, silently dealing with him, then all problems would no longer exist.

"Hunting a superhero, huh..."

Ke Mingye murmured to himself, took out the card for instance No. 7, and swiped it across the hovering card slot. The old, dark train obliged and rumbled to a halt on the tracks.

"Let's go."

Fan Quan, carrying a Bible, boarded the train ahead of him.

"What are you dazing for, Spider Man?"

Qing Meng, carrying a bag full of guns, followed Fan Quan onto the train.

Ke Mingye boarded the seventh car, and the doors of the carriage closed behind him. Accompanied by the chimney emitting billowing smoke, the train thundered forward into the tunnel, disappearing into the dark depths.
