Superman Termination Manual

Chapter 147 Strange Thing X Shadow Heir Ninja Sect Sect Master (1)

Just a second ago, Ke Mingye was blissfully foolish in his mind, with classic lines from "Shawshank Redemption" echoing in his head, "The way to survive, that's what it's all about."

He thought to himself that the heavens had still left him a way out — with Yuri, this treasure specially for superhero users, wouldn't it just be a matter of time before he dealt with that damned Timekeeper?

The next second, his hand was still on the bathroom doorknob when he looked up and saw an unimaginable sight: Bai Wenna was standing outside the door staring at him.

It was just like the night he first watched "The Grudge" back in elementary school.

Dark… Cold… Trembling…

Then no worries… What Timekeeper, could it be more dangerous than having an alien mom here?

Ke Mingye felt like he'd been doused with cold water and realized something crucial: let's forget the Timekeeper for now, isn't the real final Boss right by my side, how on earth am I going to get past mom?

So what, wait for alien spaceships to attack Earth, then pretend to team up with tough guys like Xizi Yue and Zeus to knock off the aliens, and then backstab them fiercely?

Please, their IQ isn't that low.

Most likely the players and superhumans will end up in fierce internal fighting and the alien army will take advantage of their vulnerability to capture them easily.

Ke Mingye was thinking if there was a way to make the alien spaceships land on Earth first, so players could profit from the situation.

At this moment, Ke Mingye slowly withdrew his hand, trying to keep his cool, and asked with a puzzled face.

"Um, mom, what do you mean by looking at me like that?"

He thought, to be reasonable, all his brothers and sisters were still at home, do the aliens have to pick this time to blow up, and what does it mean by looking at me like this?

Just then, before Bai Wenna could speak, Bai Zini's distant words had already come from the hallway.

"Mom, I told you…"

What, turns out this bushy-browed magic girl is in cahoots with the aliens?

Ke Mingye's forehead sweated as he turned to look towards the source of the voice, only to see Bai Zini standing at the top of the staircase, staring at him disdainfully.

Bai Zini lowered her face, picking up where she left off, continuing, "Mom, look, isn't brother crying meow in the bathroom?"

"Yes."

Bai Wenna crossed her arms and nodded coldly.

At this moment, Yuri casually walked out of the bathroom, brushing under Ke Mingye's feet. It rubbed against Bai Zini's leg and then took off, leaving Ke Mingye still standing there getting scolded.

"I'm telling you, Mingye, didn't we grow up already, can we stop talking to cats?"

Bai Wenna rubbed her Tianming Acupoint, speaking with a tone of resignation.

"Exactly, I don't really understand people who talk to animals."

Bai Zini nodded in agreement.

Ke Mingye's eye twitched slightly, slowly pocketed his phone, and sighed.

"Man, I am truly fed up with you guys."

"Bro, you don't have any weird fetishes with the kitten, do you? And it's even a male cat…"

Bai Zini covered her mouth, shuddering.

Ke Mingye shrugged, "What's wrong with me meowing, any objections, or did you just want to eavesdrop on me in the bathroom, I think you all are the ones with issues."

"Hey, what way is this child talking, are you asking for a beating, believe it or not, I'll tell your dad?" Bai Wenna frowned.

"Right, right, absolutely right, that stinky old dad is always gone all day, and still talking to him."

Ke Mingye said as he passed by them, walking back to his room under their scrutiny, shutting the door forcefully, locking it, lying on the bed, taking a break.

Closing his eyes, he rested for a while to settle his nerves, then he pulled out his phone to check Weibo.

He had initially intended to check the trending topics in the bathroom, but the tweet about the blue owl and Timekeeper had distracted him, and he forgot what he was supposed to do.

At this moment, upon opening the Weibo trending list, he saw that the photo of the blue owl and Magic Girl Ash appearing together had taken the second spot on Weibo's trending list;

The first spot was taken by Huanjing's mass brainwashing riot, sharing the limelight for the same event.

"Damn, my little sister's traffic is so high!" Ke Mingye thought.

When he as the blue owl first appeared, he only made it to the top five on Weibo's trending list, and that was with the traffic boost from the big internet star, mikaxi.

Now, after just rubbing off Magic Girl Ash's fame, he had shot up to second on the trending list that very day.

When he clicked on the photo, Ke Mingye was stunned, not knowing how the media managed to capture that kind of ambiance…

It was exactly the second before Magic Girl Ash walked past him, ignoring him, that they grabbed this shot, capturing both their faces in a way that made the audience think they were looking at each other , as if Magic Girl Ash was walking towards the blue owl.

It was ridiculously unreal…

Ke Mingye was shocked, experiencing firsthand the media's ability to twist reality.

He reckoned Bai Zini would faint on the spot after seeing this picture, stomping her feet and ignoring the blue owl while still being manipulated by dumb promotional accounts, "Let whoever wants to be that damned Magic Girl be one!"

But he didn't care at all, feeling a bit of joy inside.

"Alright, alright... Last time I made an appearance, I leaped on the popularity of Dice Monster and the viral self-media star mikaxi, and this time, I'm riding the wave of my little sis' fame. It feels like it won't be long before comrade Blue Owl is on fire and invited to join the Superhero Association."

Ke Mingye thought to himself, quite pleased. He turned off his phone, continued to lie flat, and after waking up, it was already dusk.

After being woken up by Ke Xiaomo knocking at his door, he washed his face and went downstairs to eat.

Moonlight tore through the last of the twilight; dusk faded, and night enveloped Huanjing like a curtain.

Having just appeared in front of the media's cameras early this morning, Ke Mingye wasn't in a rush to have Blue Owl make another appearance. Appearing too frequently would make him seem like some second-rate, hard-working hero, though of course, Qing Ya was an exception.

So instead, he released the Dice Monster from the windowsill, letting it lurk in the night while he himself sat on the living room sofa, using the anchor sunglasses to lock on to Bai Ziling, who was about to go for a walk with Ke Yongzhu.

Ke Yinzhi and Ke Xiaomo were a bit worried when they heard that the two were going out for a walk, as it had been a while since Yongzhu had left the house and had been hiding at home.

It seemed they hadn't completely trusted yet that Yongzhu wouldn't lose control and turn into a dragon again.

However, Bai Qiuwu quietly said from the couch to let them go, it would be alright;

Bai Zini also added, exactly, a grade-schooler couldn't possibly bite his sister Zi Ling to death, so Ke Yinzhi and Ke Xiaomo eased their worries.

Although Ke Mingye was nearby, they deliberately avoided him during their conversation.

Still, he could pretty much guess what they were talking about.

Ke Mingye was very certain that even if Ke Yinzhi and Ke Xiaomo appeared agreeable on the surface, Ke Xiaomo was likely to stealthily slip into the shadows behind them and keep an eye on Bai Ziling and Yongzhu.

With Ke Xiaomo's personality, he could never be completely at ease with a grade-schooler.

If the grade-schooler lost control outside, it would be too dangerous for both the grade-schooler and Zi Ling.

Moreover, the Anomaly Control Bureau was currently investigating the incident with the Calamity Dragon and the Ninja Sect, and the matter was still in the limelight. If something went wrong at such a critical juncture, and Ke Yongzhu's identity was exposed, then the one to suffer most would be his older brother, Ke Yinzhi.

After all, it was Ke Yinzhi who had used his position at the Management Bureau to conceal the Calamity Dragon's real identity and the origins of the Ninja Sect incident from the higher-ups.

If the identity of the Calamity Dragon was revealed, it would mean that his deceit of the Management Bureau would be completely known to the higher-ups, and the penalty he might receive could very well be the death sentence.

Even just for Ke Yinzhi, Ke Xiaomo would not let there be any chance of exposure for the grade-schooler.

This concerned the safety of three people; thus, Ke Mingye was certain that no matter what the other siblings said, Ke Xiaomo would definitely be following Zi Ling and Yongzhu.

"So, having the strange thing track these two might very well bump into my second brother. Perfect, I've been wanting to have a talk with him anyway, and there are still some mission tasks left undone."

With that thought, Ke Mingye equipped the strange thing with anchor sunglasses and pressed a button on the frame.

Immediately, Bai Ziling's location appeared in his view; they hadn't gone far, just walking around in the Old Jingmai District.

These two no longer needed to sneak off to the beach to meet, especially since Bai Ziling already knew that the dragon was just a grade-schooler.

Since he knew exactly who the other party was, chatting while walking on the road was enough, having a secret meeting seemed rather humorous.

The strange thing slowly lifted its hollow eyes from the lens and used spider silk to traverse the night, quickly locating the two people strolling on Old Jingmai Commercial Street.

It descended, sat on top of a vending machine on the street, and then slowly turned its head to face Ke Yongzhu and Bai Ziling walking towards it.

The strange thing raised its nonexistent eyebrow and said from a superior position, "What a coincidence, running into you while out for a stroll."

Its figure was illuminated by the street light, and sitting on the vending machine late at night was particularly frightening.

Ke Yongzhu paused momentarily, then sneered, "What are you doing here again, want me to twist your head off?"

Bai Ziling remained silent, just lifting her crimson eyes to stare at it.

"Hey, I thought you would thank me, after all, I did secretly warn you before it all happened, yet you completely ignored my good intentions."

Sitting atop the vending machine, the strange thing lowered its right hand, caught a five-yuan coin with a strand of spider silk, and then, like fishing, drew the coin toward the slot of the machine.

It then released the spider silk, letting the coin and the web drop into the machine, and finally selected "Wahaha Milk" with its toe on the vending machine interface.

The canned Wahaha Milk soon popped out from the vending machine's outlet, caught by the spider web and pulled into its hand. It then tilted its head, twisted open the cap, and took a drink.

Ke Yongzhu and Bai Ziling looked at it, bewildered, thinking, are you sick, making a spectacle out of drinking a bottle of Wahaha Milk?

"Let's go," Bai Ziling said indifferently.

"Yeah, don't bother with this strange thing."

As Ke Yongzhu turned to leave, he was stopped by the strange thing sitting on the vending machine, "You're leaving so soon? Haven't seen you for several days, Baby Dragon, and our lovely Su... "

Its voice suddenly cut off as a raptor-like shadow fiercely surged from the nearby ground, scaling up the surface of the vending machine.

In just a moment, the strange thing was caught in the beak of the terrifying shadow, dragged like prey into the darkness, leaving only the bottle of Wahaha Milk behind, which fell to the ground.

Under the street lamp, the murky white liquid continuously flowed out from the can.

"Where did it go?"

Upon hearing the noise behind her, Bai Ziling turned her head and asked.

Ke Yongzhu placed his hands behind his head and said, "Don't know, who cares about it? Let's just go home; today has been an unlucky day."

"Yeah."

Bai Ziling nodded, and alongside Ke Yongzhu walked toward the path home. The two figures walked quietly on the moonlit path, gradually disappearing into the night.
