Superman's Ending Manual

October 25, 2028, was a quiet snowy night.

The lights in the bedroom were turned off, and Bai Zini tossed and turned, but couldn't fall asleep.

Taking a gentle breath, he stood up with his hands on the bed board. In the darkness, she hugged her knees, lowered her eyes, and sat quietly.

She looked at the mirror with her peripheral vision. There was a blurry black shadow in the mirror, and the corners of her blood-red mouth were grinned high.

The shadow was saying something to her.

She couldn't hear clearly...

She didn't want to hear it clearly either.

At this moment, the cold moonlight quietly filtered in, prompting her to look at the floor-to-ceiling window in the corner. Snowflakes spread over the intertwined wires and fell one by one. When illuminated by the dim lights on the street corner, they looked like swirling fallen leaves in autumn.

After a while, she suddenly turned over, fell off the bed, and came to the corridor barefoot. Late at night in October, the floor was cold, as cold as ice.

She stopped in the deserted corridor, leaning against a room with her head lowered. She thought about whether to knock on the door of that room, but finally stopped her fingers and walked to the rooftop.

Pushing open the rusty iron door, the whistling wind and snow rushed towards my face.

He closed the door and quietly climbed onto the railing like a kitten and sat down slowly.

The night sky is dark, there are a little few stars tonight, but the moon is much clearer.

The girl in her nightgown sat on the rooftop railing, bathed in moonlight, all alone.

The weather was so cold that it could freeze people into snowmen. She breathed into her hands and held them in her arms.

He raised his eyes and looked into the distance. Amidst the falling snow, thousands of houses were brightly lit.

There are noisy fashion advertisements on the surface of the building. Men and women on the street are holding hands and walking into the distance, like a long and prosperous dragon. The elevated train overhead passed through the long tunnel, rumbled across the sky, and slowly moved away from the falling snow.

I was watching intently when suddenly, there was a "creak" from the iron door behind me.

She turned her head slightly and saw a boy in a hoodie pushing the door open slightly and sticking his head out of the crack.

Ke Mingye looked at Bai Zini on the rooftop, lowered his eyes, and let out a breath of white air.

"I'm talking about Bai Zini, what the hell -" Ke Mingye sneezed, "Aqiu -!" He raised his hand and touched the tip of his red nose, sniffed angrily, and continued to ask, "What are you doing here alone in the middle of the night?"

His series of actions were very exaggerated, as if he were deliberately trying to relieve embarrassment.

Seeing that Bai Zini didn't respond, Ke Mingye walked onto the rooftop, closed the door, and moved closer to the railing.

"Don't come over." She said suddenly.

Hearing this, Ke Mingye paused. It was as if he was playing one-two-three wooden figures with her, motionless.

"What's wrong, because I stole the ice cream you put in the refrigerator today?"

He asked in a low voice, looking at the girl's back, and suddenly felt that she seemed far away from him.

"I feel so upset...just leave me alone, okay?"

"Okay, then you put on a coat, I'm going to go back to bed."

Ke Mingye took off his coat as he spoke, and was about to hand it to Bai Zini when he suddenly thought of something, "Oh yes... the body temperature of a magical girl will not drop due to the climate."

Muttering to himself, he was about to take back his coat when Bai Zini suddenly reached out to catch it.

Seeing this, Ke Mingye raised the corners of his mouth slightly, loosened the sleeves of his coat, and let her pull it over, "I'll count to three, if you still want me to leave, then I will -"

"Don't leave."

Come on, I haven't even started counting yet. Ke Mingye thought.

"Okay, then I will reluctantly stay up all night with you, and remember to pay me for chatting with you."

Ke Mingye said softly, jumped up and sat next to Bai Zini.

The two of them were silent, raising their eyes from the railing on the rooftop and quietly looking at the city in the distance.

Bai Zini put on his coat and buried her face in it.

She asked: "How did you know I was awake?"

"I heard your footsteps." Ke Mingye swayed his legs in the evening breeze, put his hands together on his lap, and added, "Although you didn't knock on the door."

He paused and turned to look at Bai Zini: "So, what happened?"

"I just feel like... I can't hold on any longer."

Ke Mingye was silent for a moment: "Even so, still can't muster up the courage to tell your masters?"

The girl shook her head.

"I don't want to see them look at me like they're looking at a monster..."

She paused and whispered, "I know their attitude towards witches. If they knew I was a witch, I don't know if they would look at me like that, so I don't want to say anything."

"But if this continues..."

"If I'm locked up, I won't be able to see you." Bai Zini said softly, "I've heard that many magical girls who were found to have signs of becoming witches were locked up in the Bedlam Lunatic Asylum... Master and the others , will you lock me in as well?”

Ke Mingye was silent.

Then after you know that I am a player, especially you... how will you look at me?

In the long evening breeze, Ke Mingye lowered his eyes and looked at the dim street corner, thinking to himself.

"Then I will accompany you to find your master. Although I have never met Xi Ziyue with my own eyes, I feel that she is not an unkind person... At least, it is impossible for her to send her good apprentice to Bedra with her own hands. "The Asylum."

"It's useless. If there is a way to change the witch back to her original state, my master will not hide it from me... I have no way out. No matter how powerful my master is, he can't save me."

"Then you have to try. It's not time to give up yet."

Bai Zini lowered her eyes and remained silent for a long time. The thin snow falling towards the city fell on the tip of her red nose.

"Do you think I'm troublesome?"

"Why do you say that?"

"You know, when I was in elementary school, everyone always said that Bai Zini can't cry, Bai Zini can't cry, Bai Zini is the most powerful, and when I saw a girl in the class being bullied, I ran over to her immediately. After driving away the senior boys, I turned my head away, my face still bleeding, hoping that everyone would praise me, but everyone ignored me and comforted the bullied girl. The teacher even scolded me. Dun, asked me to stand in the corner... At that time, I really wanted to cry. I really wanted to cry, but if I cried, the people standing with me would laugh at me. "

"Later, when I became a magical girl, I felt like a villain. Those people were making sarcastic remarks every day, waiting for you to not be able to hold on any longer. The juniors were also looking at you, and even if sometimes they couldn't hold on, they still had to pretend. Look reliable and tell yourself not to cry...if you cry, you will be laughed at. There are so many eyes staring at you, Bai Zini, you have to hold on. "

She paused and said, "I have persisted like this for a long, long time. It seems that everyone is telling me that you have to hold on, but no one has ever told me that you can stop and take a rest. It doesn't matter if you make a fool of yourself."

Ke Mingye was silent for a while: "What about in front of me?"

Bai Zini seemed speechless.

"Even in front of you, I still..."

Her lips moved slightly.

"I don't want to cry."

Her tone was a little vague.

"Obviously... I don't want to cry... I'm just in front of you. I want to pretend to be more powerful and not let you look down on me... Because I said, I want to protect you, so I don't want to be looked down upon by you, and I don't want you to treat me Look like a sister.”

Tears kept falling from the corners of his eyes, pattering towards the city.

Ke Mingye's Adam's apple rolled up and down. He knew how proud the girl beside him was and how much she liked to show off, so he knew how much she trusted him. The snow became heavier, and listening to the girl's sobbing, it seemed as if some unknown emotion came through the wind like a sharp blade and pierced his chest.

"I said...even though I have a terrible personality, I am still your brother after all. You shouldn't look down on me so much. Why don't you cry in front of me? What I mean is..."

He took a breath and said slowly, "Whether it's in front of classmates, in front of those people who talk nonsense, or if you can't stand it in front of juniors, just come to me and complain, no matter what. Okay...they only care about whether you are strong or not, I only care about whether you are too pushy."

"But when I found you before, you always laughed at me or ignored me."

"At least...not now."

Ke Mingye said, hesitated for a moment, raised his hand and rubbed Bai Zini's hair.

"I don't want to be dependent on others."

"But I'm your family."

"I clearly know that I will drag you into the water. I have seen so many witches who kill innocent people indiscriminately. Some witches even killed their own family members...I know this clearly, but I still hope you stay by my side. ”

"Am I not here?"

The tidal moonlight diffused through the falling snow and fell on the rooftop of the apartment building. The world is completely silent, and all that can be heard are the noisy advertisements in the distance and the soft whispers of boys and girls.

"After becoming a witch, will I still be me?"

"I have no idea……"

"After I become a witch, will everyone hate me?"

"I won't."

"Will everyone leave me?"

"At least I won't."

"Then if after becoming a witch, I go completely crazy and hurt many, many innocent people... Brother, what will you think of me then?"

Ke Mingye was silent for a moment.

"Then I will go crazy with you." He said calmly, "If you kill ten people, I will kill a hundred; if you kill a hundred people, I will kill a thousand; if you kill a thousand people, I will kill Killing 10,000 people, if that's not enough..." He paused slightly and emphasized, "Then we'll destroy the world together."

After saying that, he raised his right index finger without raising his head and pointed jokingly at the Chaoying Building on the distant horizon.

"Smash this damn superhero association first. I hate superheroes the most." The boy said.

After a pause, he moved his index finger and pointed at the Tongmenghui building directly opposite.

"Then he destroyed this alliance building. That annoying magical girl actually made my sister so sad." The boy said again, in an understatement, like a boy talking about unrealistic and childish delusions.

After a long silence, his straight index finger slowly lowered and hung on the railing.

"In the end, we will destroy the world together, leaving nothing behind, so that the people who hate us will shut up... Doesn't it sound a lot more optimistic?"

Hearing him say these ridiculous words in a self-deprecating tone, the girl was stunned at first.

Then he puffed up his cheeks slightly, as if he was suppressing a smile.

In the end, she couldn't help laughing, but her eyes were still red.

"……Really?"

"Of course it's true."

Ke Mingye nodded and said nonchalantly, "If my sister becomes a witch, then I will strive to become a big devil... If everyone hates you, then I will chop them all into pieces and feed them pig."

He paused: "If you die tomorrow, I will die with you tomorrow. It's no big deal. Be happy, okay?"

Bai Zini shrugged her shoulders and chuckled a few times. A thin layer of snow fell on her hair.

"Liar."

"Why is it a lie? I'm telling you seriously. If you don't believe me, forget it."

"Because I know my brother is so stupid. He's stupid. He's obviously a bad mouth, but he's better than anyone else. How could he do bad things..." She said, "So, when the time comes... you will stand on the opposite side of me. Am I wrong?"

Ke Mingye was stunned for a while.

"I won't." He shook his head and was silent for a while, "What about you..."

At this point, he bent down slightly, overlooking the brightly lit streets and looking at those happy people.

"If one day I really go crazy and kill anyone I see, whether they are good or bad, and then I come to my senses and have killed many, many innocent people, I will unknowingly become a big devil who is much worse than you can imagine, and the whole world will hate me, my family, friends, and everyone related to me will become my enemies, and they all hate me to the core..."

Ke Mingye lowered his eyes and his voice gradually became lower, "At that time... will you still stand by my side?"

Hearing this, the girl was silent for a long time, sniffed, and imitated his tone just now, saying in a muffled voice:

"I will go crazy with you."

Hearing this, Ke Mingye was stunned for a moment, and then smiled silently.

He seldom smiled like this, and it seemed that even such a smile on his face was a bit inconsistent. In fact, he didn't know whether he was laughing at himself or at the childish imitation of the girl next to him.

Just very happy...

Happy from the bottom of my heart.

It seemed that in this short period of less than half a year, all the pain and struggles felt were blown away by a sudden gust of wind, and lost in this warm night with the falling snow.

So, this time it was Ke Mingye's turn to ask her the same question.

"Really?"

But when his hoarse words fell, the girl next to him did not respond. Just as Ke Mingye's heart sank, his body, which was cold from the snow, suddenly felt warm. The girl gently hugged his body, and their cheeks were close.

Ke Mingye was slightly stunned.

"Really." Bai Zini whispered, "You are worthy of being my brother. Even the way of comforting people is so lame. I don't want you to become a big devil... absolutely not."

Ke Mingye gently hugged her back, exhaled a low breath of white air, and raised the corners of his mouth.

"Then I won't let you become a witch."

On the snowy night of October 25, 2028, the boy and girl on the rooftop made a rough and naive oath to each other.

Like two young animals driven into a cramped corner by the world, licking each other's fur and huddling together for warmth.

Half an hour later, it was already very late at night, but Ke Mingye was still unable to fall asleep.

He lay on the bed, his right arm resting behind his head, staring at the ceiling for a while, and then opened the system rating panel.

A crystal blue panel appeared in the darkness.

According to the system's rating standards, there is a certain basis for the danger rating of a superhuman race to be "A+" instead of "S".

In the introduction, it is written:

"A+" means that the attribute standard has exceeded the upper limit of A, but the comprehensive performance (mechanism, ability, etc.) has not yet reached the standard of the next level.

"A++" means that the attribute standard has "significantly exceeded" the upper limit of A, but the comprehensive performance (mechanism, ability, etc.) has not yet reached the standard of the next level.

And below this, the same applies to "B+" and "C+".

In other words, among the three giants of magical girls, Xiziyue, Lilai, and Utena... their three-dimensional attributes are likely to have far exceeded the 400 points of the A-level upper limit, but their comprehensive performance has not yet reached the S-level range.

As for the higher S-level, or S+ level, S++ level, or even question mark level attribute values, Ke Mingye dare not even think about it, otherwise the task of "exterminating superhumans" will seem extremely slim, and no matter how he reaches out in the dark, he can't catch a spider thread for survival.

But think positively, on October 31, the day when the Witch Night arrives, after opening the "Chosen One", Ke Mingye's full attributes will be temporarily doubled within an hour... In other words, Little Red Riding Hood's spiritual attribute will temporarily change from 220 to 440, which is equivalent to directly breaking through the upper limit of A level, and as a result, the total amount of magic power will also become twice as much as before.

It sounds optimistic, doesn't this temporarily have the power of an A+ level magical girl?

But according to Xiziyue, the total amount of magic power is not equal to the strength of a magic girl, and it is even far from that - this is just like the inner strength often mentioned in martial arts novels. Even if your inner strength is deep, it is only useful if you have the right inner strength to refine and release it.

Only by practicing day after day can you improve the threshold of magic power release.

Xiziyue is a genius among millions.

She said that after only two years of training, her magic power release threshold has been maintained between 80% and 100%, which means that she can usually release 80% to 100% of the total magic power.

And Ke Mingye lacks practice and such terrifying talent.

So Little Red Riding Hood's magic release threshold is naturally not comparable to that of hers, at most around 40% to 50%, which is a very mediocre threshold.

But relying on the terrifying total amount of magic brought by doubling the spiritual attributes of the "Chosen Day", even if the minimum release threshold is only 40%, it can already release the power equivalent to that of a B-level magic girl.

Ke Mingye does not have high requirements for this, it is enough for Little Red Riding Hood to have the performance of a B-level magic girl in actual combat. As long as she has this level of combat power, it is equivalent to having an admission ticket, so that she can not only watch the battle but not intervene.

And he himself and the monster will appear as auxiliary characters in this war, and if it is necessary, he can also use the power of the divine path.

"But...whether we win or not, it's only a matter of time before Bai Zini turns into a witch...never mind, don't think too much, beat those witches first, and in the next six months, work with Xi Ziyue and the others to find a way to turn Bai Zini back to normal, otherwise, if the Qiamat comet can't take back her power, then..."

Ke Mingye was a little bit lost when he thought of this. He took a long breath, raised his arm to his forehead, and muttered to himself in the dark.

"I promised...others can die, only she can't die, but what should I do?"

His face was pale, and his thoughts gradually became chaotic.

Because Xi Ziyue hid two trump cards in Bai Zini's magic book, and this was in the residence of the Bai Ke family, with the question mark-level mother guarding it, even if the group of witches suddenly attacked, Ke Mingye was not worried about anything happening.

So, he stared at the ceiling for a while, and then fell asleep.

There was no speech that night.

When Ke Mingye woke up, he looked up at the old clock. The number indicated by the hour hand was 10 o'clock in the morning, which surprised him a little. Since Little Red Riding Hood's personality could change dolls by itself, he no longer had the habit of waking up in the middle of the night. This day, perhaps because his brain was too tired, even the alarm clock by the window could not wake him up. When he woke up, it was almost noon.

And, not long after waking up, Ke Mingye heard a piece of news that stunned him for a long time-

According to Bo Wenna, it was in the early morning of October 26th.

Two people disappeared from the Bo Ke family.

The first person was Ke Youqing;

The other person was Bo Zini.
