Superman's Ending Manual

[Good morning, Mr. Player. Today is July 24, 2028. There are 329 days left before the deadline for the ultimate mission "Exterminate Superhumans". ]

[Current number of surviving players: 93 (no deaths occurred yesterday)]

Listening to the system notification, Ke Mingye woke up from the bed and was stunned for a while before he came back to his senses. He thought to himself, didn't I set an alarm? Why did the alarm now become a daily notification? But it saved him a lot of trouble.

He opened his eyes, yawned, got up lazily from the bed, scratched his messy hair, and closed the panel casually.

Turning his cheek, he looked through the curtains that were moved by the breeze and saw the slightly bright sky. The mottled morning light fell into the room, and the viaduct in the distance was still shrouded in a hazy curtain.

Ke Mingye looked up at the clock on the wall, lifted the quilt and got out of bed, and walked into the bathroom while checking the information on the backup phone.

Today, the screen was not flooded with messages. There was only a simple message from the official APP of the Super Hero Association.

[Octopus Man: See you at the Super Hero Association at 8:30 in the morning. I am only free at this time. If you don’t come, forget it. ]

[Blue Owl: Okay, I’m here. Don’t stand me up, or I’ll post you on Weibo. ]

[Octopus Man: Childish. ]

“I have an appointment with the Octopus Man today. Let’s go to the Super Hero Association early... I have to try to pry out his brother’s situation from him. After all, his brother is related to the watchmaker.”

Ke Mingye thought so and quickly washed up in front of the mirror.

Even though he had been here for almost two months, he still felt an inexplicable strangeness when facing this slightly depressed face, and he always got goose bumps when he looked closely.

Thinking back to what Xiziyue said yesterday, he felt a little magical.

Xiziyue knew Ke Mingye when he was young, and she had the same idea as Huijin. The Little Red Riding Hood he played had the same look as Ke Mingye at that time.

But why is this?

Ke Mingye knew that when his nerves were connected to the trick puppet, he would unconsciously affect the trick puppet's micro-expressions and eyes. Does this mean that he unconsciously revealed the look of Ke Mingye when he was young?

Has he been assimilated to this extent by the memory in his brain, or is there something strange about it?

Ke Mingye spit out the mouthwash with a "gurgle", raised the back of his hand to wipe his mouth, put down the cup, put on his sneakers and went downstairs. The second brother is not at home, and now he is the first one to get up in the family. Everyone else sleeps like a pig.

This is not their fault. After all, these monsters have a very rich nightlife. They are either fighting criminals, holding meetings, or patrolling the city. It's strange that they can get out of bed.

As usual, he ran around the old Jingmai district in the morning, stopped by the lake to exercise, and soon completed today's daily tasks.

[Received the reward for daily task 2 "One hundred push-ups", and obtained 2 attribute points that can be freely allocated. ]

[Your "Physical Fitness" attribute changes: 91→93 points (↑2 points)]

[Received the reward for daily task 1 "Run 6000 meters", and obtained a chance to draw a wheel. ]

The reward wheel slowly unfolded in his eyes. The text of six areas came into view.

Ke Mingye originally thought that he had disenchanted the reward wheel. The rewards that were usually swiped out were either some useless rewards that were not enough to fill the gaps between teeth, or some fictitious Pinduoduo-style fragments. I don't know when I can get them together.

However, after Wang Qing swiped the wheel this time, he slightly widened his eyes.

"What the hell?"

[1. 3000 mall coins; 2. Unique equipment - Magic City Light Sword (very low probability of appearance, less than 5%); 3. Unique reward - a magic contract beast (very low probability of appearance, less than 1%); 4. A low-level lottery ticket; 5: A set of auxiliary magic cards; 6. 1000 experience points. ]

"Come on, come on, come on."

Ke Mingye prayed silently in his heart, and then pressed the start button of the turntable.

Then the pointer began to rotate at high speed, but the result was not as he wished, and finally the pointer slowly stopped above area ③.

[Congratulations, you have obtained the reward of area ③ - a magic contract beast (unique level). ]

[Tip: You have obtained a magic contract beast. The contract beast does not have a mind. You can use your own thoughts to make the contract beast disappear or appear at any time, and you can control the behavior and words of the contract beast with your will. ]

[Next, please give your contract beast a suitable nickname. 】

Ke Mingye was stunned, thinking what was going on, how come my buddy had a contracted beast for no reason, and next I have to play the contracted beast to deceive the ignorant girl into becoming a magical girl, isn't this forcing a good woman into prostitution?

Thinking so in his heart, his hands were still very honest.

He typed two words on the small keyboard that popped up on the system panel - [Kirby].

The origin of this name can be traced back to the beastly contracted beast - Kyubey in a popular two-dimensional masterpiece "Magical Girl Madoka Magica" in the previous life.

Ke Mingye hoped that when he played the contracted beast, he could be as beastly as Kyubey, abandoning all shame and concentrating on abducting magical girls, so he took out his last name "Ke" instead of "Qiu", and thus got this name.

But on second thought, he felt that the word "Ke" in Kobe was too easy to be exposed, so he changed it to the homophonic word "Ke", and then clicked Submit.

[Congratulations, you have named your contracted beast "Kobe". ]

[The item "Magic Contracted Beast-Kobe" has been added to your bag. ]

"I really don't know what this contracted beast looks like. Will it be kicked away by a beautiful girl when it goes out on the street."

Ke Mingye breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the name, but he still felt a little unbelievable that he had inadvertently paid tribute to a legendary basketball player in his previous life.

To be honest, he felt that the magic contracted beast was a bit like selling insurance. He had to show the attitude of a gold medal salesman to convince those customers.

Fortunately, the customer positioning of the contracted beast is generally underage girls, and few will choose those aunts to contract, but magic aunts do exist, and some contracted beasts have already done whatever it takes to achieve performance.

He walked towards the abandoned train station in the old Jingmai district while checking the information of the magic contracted beast in his bag.

[Item Name: Magical Contracted Beast - Kobe]

[Item Rarity: Unique (One of a Kind)]

[Item Level: B+]

[Item Description: This is a watery magical contracted beast, and its appearance can change between the three categories of "dog", "owl", and "pig". ]

[Contracted Beast Level: Lv.1 (This contracted beast has a total of 3 levels. Each time a level is unlocked, it is allowed to create a contracted beast clone, and use the clone to contract a new ordinary girl to make her a magical girl)]

[Current Level Authority: Currently, 0 contracted beast clones can be created, and a maximum of 1 magical girl can be contracted. ]

[Note: Depending on the qualifications of the contracted magical girl, there is a certain probability that the holder of the "mutated magic wand" or the holder of the "rare attribute magic power" will appear. 】

Ke Mingye said "Oh——" and thought to himself that I know this well. After all, Little Red Riding Hood is the holder of "snow attribute magic", and Huijin, Jiuzhai and others are the holders of "mutated magic wands".

So, when choosing an ordinary person to sign a contract, you have to consider whether the other party has the qualifications to become a magical girl, otherwise it would be useless if you sign a few Muggles?

He thought so and continued to read down.

["Magic Contract Beast-Kobe" can check the qualifications of ordinary girls twice a day. Please use this ability to find out the qualifications of the other party before signing a contract with the other party. ]

["Magic Contract Beast-Kobe" can extract the magic power of the contracted magical girl for your use. (If necessary, you can even take out the comet fragments in the body of the contracted magical girl, which can turn the other party back into an ordinary person, but there is also a certain probability that the other party will die directly)]

Ke Mingye was slightly stunned when he saw this: "Wait, so I am using the contract beast to sow seeds and cultivate an artificial magic pool for Little Red Riding Hood?"

He suddenly understood the role of the magic contract beast.

Sign a contract with an ordinary girl and grant her magic power. After that, as the other party becomes stronger, the magic power contained in her body will increase. At this time, the contracted beast can recycle these exponentially growing magic powers.

For the contracted beast, it is equivalent to loan sharking, and for the ordinary person, she has obtained super powers that she has never had. Obviously, this is a fair trade that is beneficial to both parties.

In addition, as long as the comet fragments in the other party's body are not forcibly extracted, their lives will not be endangered.

Comet fragments cannot be directly converted into magic power, nor can they be directly stuffed into the body of a person who has become a magical girl, so it is impossible to ask the contracted beast to stuff those comet fragments into Little Red Riding Hood's body to double Little Red Riding Hood's qualifications.

It has to be said that it is not as dirty as he imagined. Since the power is given to others, it is natural to take it back from others.

Of course, the pain is that this will turn these three unlucky guys into superhumans and become the target of annihilation by the player. This is equivalent to giving the little girl a one-year magical girl experience card, and the price is that the experience card expires and she dies.

However, if necessary, Ke Mingye will try to let the contracted beasts take back the fragments in their bodies one year later: the ending is death anyway, so why not take a gamble? If the fragments are successfully taken back, they will become ordinary people again and will not have to become the enemies of the players.

Ke Mingye thought as he walked into the old Jingmai District.

He raised his hand to open the cabinet and saw the upgraded battle suit. The metallic texture of red and blue colors intertwined in the eyes was pleasing to the eye. If you have to describe the difference from the original, it is from a tights monster to a masked rider.

After changing into the blue owl battle suit, he arrived at the Super Hero Association Building not long after.

The time was quite accurate, just at 8 o'clock in the morning as agreed with the octopus man. At this time, the flow of people in the association building was not large, and the whole building was unusually empty and quiet.

Blue Owl and Octopus Man used the software to meet in the toilet on the 7th floor-the reason for choosing this place is that there is no surveillance camera inside the toilet, and their conversation will not be heard.

Besides, the restroom environment of the Superhero Association is still very good, and the cleanliness is no less than that of other companies' offices. There is even no bad smell in the air, only the smell of perfume.

Blue Owl and Octopus Man stood with their backs against the wall. Blue Owl slightly bent his legs and stepped on the wall, casually drinking a cup of American coffee he bought on the road just now - he couldn't drink bitter things, so he added sugar cubes and milk.

"Why choose such a hell of a place?"

The octopus man with dark circles under his eyes rubbed his eyes.

"Because I want to talk to you about some private topics."

"What topics?" The octopus man paused and added vigilantly, "First of all, I'm not gay."

"Please, bro, although there are many gays among superheroes, and those sluts can no longer get satisfaction from the opposite sex, it doesn't mean that every superhero is gay..."

The blue owl shook his head and sighed.

"I have something to do later, just tell me what you want to say." The octopus man had no expression on his face, "If you want to cancel the game because you are afraid of embarrassment, then I don't care, but I will publish the fact that you begged for mercy from me on the Internet, so that everyone knows the fact that you are afraid of fighting."

"Okay, although you say it very arrogantly, I really didn't come here for this... After all, I won't lose to you, and I have taken all the good things."

The blue owl yawned, spoke leisurely, and changed the subject: "Actually... I want to ask about your father. I asked a question in the association before. Circle, someone said that your father once died to save a drowning person, is this true? "

The octopus man frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice: "Who did you hear it from?"

"I heard it from my commander. I also asked him your name this morning. If you don't believe it, you can ask him for confirmation." Blue Owl paused, "So you can answer me... or if this question is too offensive to you, then I apologize in advance and turn around and leave now." At this point, he raised his arms in surrender and turned his head to look at the profile of the octopus man.

The octopus man was silent for a while: "There is nothing to hide. The reason why I became a superhero... was to let more people see my father's name. "

The blue owl breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, thinking that our central ideas are exactly the same. I debuted to help Qing Ya get his name right, and you debuted to promote the name of your heroic father. We are from the same roots, why are you so anxious to fight each other? Do you have to fight to ruin my reputation?

"I checked the news." He said, "Your father is great."

"My father is an ordinary person." The octopus man said softly, "He is just an ordinary person, but he died in the lake to save a few drowning children. After that, my brother and I depended on each other and lived a very hard life."

Blue Owl thought for a while, "Are you angry that he abandoned you and your brother for a few strangers?"

"No, I have never blamed my father. You know what makes me angry."

At this point, the octopus man's voice sank slightly, "After my father died, the parents of the rescued children At first, they would come to my house and give me some gifts, hold my hand and say some hypocritical words, but soon I never saw them again... I thought it didn't matter, even if they were ungrateful, there would be other people who would see the news and remember my father. "

He paused: "At the beginning, people on the Internet still praised him hypocritically, but after a few days, no one on the Internet paid attention to what he did... At that time, there was a new superhero who had just debuted and gained overwhelming attention through marketing methods. His news was everywhere, and no one paid attention to my father, who was so mediocre... Who did the boring person save, and for whom did he sacrifice his ordinary life. "

Blue Owl hugged his shoulders and was silent for a moment: "Isn't this normal? Everyone likes superheroes."

"So I think it's unreasonable." The octopus man said, "Not long after, the hero who gained attention through marketing quickly left the Super Hero Association after making a lot of money and popularity, and started a live broadcast on the Internet. To this day, I can still see the "Weekly New Star Superhero Review Column Video" he created... Hehe, do you know what the funniest thing is?"

"Uh... what is it?"

"In his column review In the movie, he made fun of me for being a hero with a funny appearance, disgusting abilities, and some low-class skills... He also said that the most basic thing about a superhero is the image, but my battle suit is designed in a mess, and I don’t even bother to wear a mask, which will only put people around me in danger, but what he doesn’t know is... "The octopus said this and sneered, "The people around me have long been dead... All dead, I won’t affect anyone if I don’t wear a mask, and I won’t put anyone in danger, except myself. "

Blue Owl was speechless, rubbed the Tianming acupoint, and thought to himself that you have a bit of self-destructive tendencies, don’t turn into a villain anytime soon.

After a long silence, he sighed and said:

"Uh... Now I understand. So that's why you have such great malice towards those superheroes who rely on marketing to rise to the top?"

"Even if you say that, you can't pull yourself out of this group."

"It doesn't matter. I will prove myself sooner or later on this point."

The blue owl shrugged and continued in a flat tone, "To be honest, I haven't forgiven you yet. After all, your malice towards me is boring and narrow-minded. You can't put such a hat on my head just because your experience is miserable, but I am a very fucking generous person, so I won't care too much, understand?"

"Funny..."

The octopus man said with disdain.

The blue owl lowered his beak, stared at the floor, and asked slowly: "So, I remember that it was mentioned in the news I searched that the hero who died while saving people from drowning had two children, one is you, and the other is..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the octopus man taking a deep breath: "The other one is my brother."

"Then...is he okay?"

Blue Owl asked tentatively, thinking that he could finally ask about the details of his brother. If the octopus man's brother was not related to the clockmaker, he would not want to get in trouble with this guy.

Hearing this, the octopus man was silent for a while: "He disappeared many years ago."

"Missing?"

"Before he disappeared, he was discussing something with me."

"What are we discussing?"

"I think my father is great. He sacrificed himself to save the lives of other people." The octopus man lowered his head and said hoarsely, "But my brother is different... He thinks it was those people who killed my father. , It’s all those people’s fault.”

Blue Owl was startled for a moment, and thought to himself that your brother's thoughts are okay. No wonder he became a villain. He has a future. A villain with this kind of background will have to be as good as a clockmaker in the future. Unfortunately, he is still not as good as us star-destroying Tianwai. Stranger.

"After that, I never saw him again." Octopus Man took a deep breath, "But I saw a criminal with very similar powers to him, his name is 'Death Star'."

As he spoke, he paused for a moment, "Then one day later, people from the Super League Association found me, and they showed me a photo."

"Photo?" Blue Owl frowned.

The octopus man lowered his head, his eyes gradually dimming.

He said: "In that photo, Deathbane is staying with Clock Guest. Clock Guest is teaching him how to dissect the body of an A-level superhero. They took this process into a series of photos and sent it to Superhero The association’s official email as a provocation.”

The blue owl tilted his head: "Really or not?"

"Do you think I can make a joke?"

"You really don't look like someone who can joke."

"Anyway, after that... I took the initiative to seize this opportunity and accepted training from the association to become a superhero." The octopus man looked at his palm, "I want to know if the criminal next to the clockman is my brother, or... My brother is actually dead a long time ago, and the person in the photo is just a beast with similar powers to my brother."

As he spoke, his tone gradually became gloomy: "Also, I want to reach the top of the superhero ranks and let my father get the attention he deserves, instead of letting those fools who are not worthy of their names occupy everyone's attention..."

When the blue owl heard this, he shrugged at first, then took a deep breath, and murmured, "It's so bitter and hateful," and then said slowly:

"Then it makes sense, if you are so honest with this idiot who doesn't deserve the name, aren't you afraid that I will use some despicable means to expose the things you said?"

"That's exactly what I want. The association has never allowed me to tell these things, otherwise my superhero qualifications will be revoked."

The octopus man said calmly, "I told you and you leaked it, then we will suffer together. Not only me, but you will also not be able to be a superhero. Do you understand?"

"Hey...then I'd rather not know about this." Blue Owl said duplicity.

"You shouldn't have asked me in the first place."

"You should be happy. I didn't avoid the friendly match a month later, so you lost an opportunity to use my traffic." Blue Owl paused, "Also, my traffic is actually brought by the dice weirdo. If you can too Get that idiot’s attention.”

As he was speaking, a panel suddenly popped up in front of his eyes.

[The main mission has been started - "Do you call them super villains?": Kill the super villain "Clock Guest" and all the super criminals under his control, and completely destroy the Clock Guest Alliance. 】
