Superman's Ending Manual

Chapter 125 Blue Owl: No one knows Blue Crow better than me

July 7th, night, at the intersection of the Hongdeng Business District in the center of Beijing.

As the gray figure appeared above the fashion billboard, the people gathered at the outer edge of the intersection, some evacuated in fear, some screamed loudly, and some calmly filmed with their mobile phones.

What's more, some people even shouted the name "Dice Monster" excitedly, like they were its fanatical fans, and people around them cast surprised looks at them.

As we all know, nowadays any villain with a little personality will basically have a group of fans. Only Qing Ya is regarded as a victim of political correctness and is condemned by everyone.

At this moment, the strange thing was sitting casually on the billboard, with one arm resting on the edge of the billboard.

It lowered its empty eyes and stared at the blue owl for two seconds, then turned its head away and waved to the people on the street while examining them.

As if to show friendliness.

But the next second, the strange thing raised a gray middle finger.

Not only that, it also waves its middle finger 360 degrees so that everyone can see it.

At the same time, he said sarcastically: "You know, if you look at yourself from my perspective, you will find that you really are like... a pile of garbage."

This sudden move caused many pedestrians who were about to evacuate to stop and look up at it.

The sound of murmurings filled the dense crowd like the buzzing of bees.

"Fuck... Is the Dice Monster the villain that has been on the hot search list before?"

"Yeah, when he first appeared, he subdued the Ghost Horse Man. At that time, everyone thought he was a superhero, but they didn't expect that the Blue Crow would come and strangle him to death."

"But he doesn't seem to have hurt anyone. The crime he was charged with was just damaging public facilities."

"Yeah, super mysterious, quite charming, don't you think? She's just a little ugly, but she has a lovely personality."

"Oh my god, even the cuties are here. You really have a strong taste, sister. Let's eat something delicious."

"Isn't it disgusting? Its appearance gives me the feeling that I will have nightmares at night. The last time it gave me this feeling was the blue crow."

"By the way... have you heard that, some people say he is the Phoenix?"

"Phoenix? Are you kidding me? Hasn't the Phoenix been missing for a few years?"

"Can you surf or not? Some people saw Blue Crow kill the Dice Monster with their own eyes, but a few days later the Dice Monster reappeared alive and kicking. They suspected that the Dice Monster had the ability to be immortal, just like the Phoenix of the Gods. So they suspected that the Dice Monster was disguised as the Phoenix!"

"You believe it when someone else leads you. I even said I'm the magical girl Ashes!"

"Pah, pah, pah, no matter how you transform, you won't be as beautiful as my baby ash."

Amidst such a grand occasion, mikaxi, the self-media creator standing behind Blue Owl, was extremely excited, as if he was standing at the center of the world.

She adjusted her red glasses, her green eyes sparkling under her golden hair. She quickly lowered her head and opened the live broadcast function of TikTok and Youtube on her phone, then raised her phone and pointed the camera at the blue owl and the dice man, recording their figures in the same picture.

At this moment, mikaxi even thought of the title of tonight's video - "The meeting between the new generation of superheroes and the new generation of villains, will they become the next phenomenal figures?!"

It would be unfair if this video doesn't go viral. Considering her fan base, it will have at least tens of millions of views. She will also broadcast it live on TikTok and Youtbe simultaneously.

You know, she is one of the few people who have interviewed the members of the Round Table. In order to prevent negative public opinion, the Super Hero Association generally prohibits high-level heroes from accepting interviews from the outside world. When necessary, only agents from the agency will come forward to handle it.

But mikaxi is different. She once personally interviewed the theosophical Zeus "Ferlando Gomes". It was because of that interview that she became famous on the Internet and officially entered the field of self-media related to superhero content.

After that, she gradually came to the fore, and her sensitivity to topics far exceeded that of ordinary self-media creators. Because of this, she was like a duck in water in her career, and was able to discover future phenomenal figures every time.

For example, a few years ago she interviewed the newly debuted magical girl Ash, although Ash ignored her at that time and directly shot her phone with Cinderella.

Fortunately, the video was synchronized to the cloud. The next day, the video triggered thousands of views on the Internet, and once occupied the top spot on Weibo's hot search. It also ranked high on the rankings of foreign video platforms.

As early as a few days ago, after seeing the trending video on Weibo, she had a hunch that this "dice monster" would become the next phenomenal figure.

And today she saw it with her own eyes again. Although Blue Owl, a rookie, was dressed cheaply and roughly, with flamboyant and exaggerated colors, he looked like the kind of look that only appeared in low-budget special effects dramas.

But his movements during the fight were exceptionally clean and neat, without a trace of drag. Coupled with the extremely flamboyant red and blue tones, the shooting effect was stunning and extremely enjoyable to watch.

Among today's cold-toned superheroes who pretend to be deep and gloomy and do things cautiously to avoid negative public opinion, the appearance of the Blue Owl is like a touch of out-of-place bright color, piercing the dead and gloomy ocean.

Times have changed.

Nowadays, people care more about the watchability and entertainment value of superheroes and whether they can bring up enough topics than their actual strength.

And there is no doubt that mikaxi saw the potential to spark conversation in the blue owl.

And that's not all.

Tonight, while digging up the blue owl, she also met the villain she had been paying attention to for two weeks - the Dice Man. It seemed like a gift from fate.

Mikaxi took deep breaths over and over again, her heart beating so fast as if ten thousand little people were kicking.

She knew very well that this might be her only chance in her life to become famous overnight.

She must not be cowardly here. Even though the situation was dangerous, she had to stand in the center of the crossroads.

Take a step back and you’ll miss out on thousands of exposures!

At this moment, the words of the dice monster broke through the noisy world and fell into mikaxi's ears.

"Hey... why are you ignoring me, Blue Owl?"

It tilted its head and asked the blue owl word by word.

The blue owl raised its head and looked up at the grey figure sitting on the fashion billboard, meeting its gaze.

"Uh, man, has anyone ever told you that..."

For a long while, he spoke seriously and hesitantly.

The voice of Blue Owl was processed by the voice changer equipped on the combat suit, and the voice sounded like a young man who was a few years older than him, and it was slightly low and hoarse. "You said... what?"

The strange thing raised a non-existent eyebrow, and curled the corners of his mouth slightly, looking forward to the other party's evaluation of him.

Like a child waiting for the teacher's comments in class.

Blue Owl hesitated for a moment, maintaining a reserved tone as if he was about to speak, and slowly said, "That is to say... that is to say, you are very ugly. Has anyone ever told you that?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the passers-by gathered at the intersection burst into laughter. For a moment, the flashes of light and the sound of camera clicks drowned out the noise of people's voices.

Seeing this, the strange thing first made an expression of "slightly open mouth and dropped jaw", then was silent for a few seconds, lowered its face, and curled the corners of its mouth downwards.

Finally it sighed, shook its head and said.

"Hey, man, although I also think that I am not very good-looking, as a superhero, isn't it not nice for you to attack me personally in public?"

Blue Owl disagreed and walked towards him while saying, "To be precise, I haven't become a superhero yet, so I don't need to regulate my words and actions."

"Oh, then this won't affect our making a friend, right?" The weird thing said, "Since you're not a superhero yet, there's no need to be so rigid about your stance."

Blue Owl sighed and tilted his head slightly, with the beak on the mask shaking. "What a joke! I won't make friends with a wanted criminal unless you turn yourself in to the Super Hero Association."

"That's a shame, you're too rigid." The strange thing said, suddenly raised a finger, and the tone became increasingly mysterious, "I suggest you don't get close to me, I'm going to use my ultimate move."

"Throw the dice?"

The blue owl did not stop, but kept making a disdainful mocking sound.

"I've seen that trick of yours online. Last time you showed a group of Brazilians dancing Brazilian dance under the Beijing Tower. That video really made me laugh. I watched it several times."

"That was just an accident, an accident, understand?" The strange thing seemed anxious, and spread his hands angrily, "Besides, the ultimate move I'm talking about is not throwing the dice. How can throwing the dice be as fun as controlling your rhythm?"

"Rhythm?" Blue Owl looked at it with amusement. "What do you want to say?"

"It's like this," the strange thing paused and raised its voice, "Has anyone ever told you that your battle uniform looks like that damned Green Crow, the rat that everyone wants to kill?"

Upon hearing this, Blue Owl's playful look suddenly turned serious, and it just stared at it silently.

Seeing this, the strange thing's tone became even more teasing, as if it was excited by having hit the other party's soft spot.

"Do you know... the status of that stinky crow in China? If you want to become a beloved superhero by imitating his appearance, it's simply wishful thinking."

Blue Owl was silent for a moment, then lowered his voice and spoke almost word by word.

"Then let me make it clear..." He paused, lowered his head, and continued speaking under the gazes of thousands of people, "You, don't understand Qing Ya at all."

As these outrageous remarks were made, pedestrians within a hundred meters were silent for a moment, as if someone had turned on the mute button.

The world was dead silent like a stopped machine, and under the neon lights were faces of shock.

But the self-media creator mikaxi's eyes gradually became fanatical, and he even couldn't hold the phone steadily, and his hands were shaking with excitement.

She shouted in her heart, "Yes, that's it! This is the effect I want. If you can say it, just say more. This traffic will explode to the top of all platforms at home and abroad!"

Hearing this, the strange thing was silent for a second, then it covered its face with its hands and sighed deeply, as if to say "This child is incorrigible."

However, Blue Owl continued to make remarks that were contrary to political correctness, causing the onlookers to gasp.

"He is a true hero. It is because of his image that I chose to wear this uniform."

Blue Owl spoke calmly and slowly raised his eyes. The look behind the lenses was as firm as a statue.

"And from the moment I put on this uniform, I thought... I will never care about anyone's eyes, but only do what I think is right in my heart."

After the words were spoken, the strange thing finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Oh my god, this is awkward, isn't it?"

The strange thing said this as it lay on the billboard and retched, then wiped its mouth with its hand.

"That's why you made a poor imitation of him... Just look at the uniform you're wearing. Any adolescent boy could have made it. It's so stupid that it makes me sick. And you're the only one here who understands the Blue Crow the best."

It paused and sneered, "You know too much about the criminals who were executed by him, and the children who were traumatized by him. Are you trying to say... that they don't understand the lyncher better than a young kid like you, right?"

"I told you, I don't care what anyone thinks."

Blue Owl said coldly.

"boring boring boring."

As it spoke, the strange thing lowered its hollow eyes, lowered its right hand towards a nearby tall building, and shot out spider silk from its web shooter to stick to the glass curtain wall. "I won't play with you anymore. Goodbye, Green Crow boy."

Seeing this, Blue Owl suddenly pulled his legs and was about to chase the monster, but one of his legs was injured in the fight with Lester.

His muscles were pulled violently and he gasped deeply, so he had no choice but to cover his legs and half-kneel on the ground.

"Are you okay, Mr. Blue Owl?!" Mikaxi finally reacted and quickly came over, taking a picture of his face while saying, "I'll take a taxi to take you there!"

"Need not."

Having said that, Blue Owl stood up again and limped towards the commercial street under the gazes of the people.

With every step he took, the crowd around him took a step back.

Then, under the gaze of everyone, the blue owl slowly turned into a deserted alley.

A few seconds later, someone finally caught up, but the red and blue figure had already disappeared, as if it had evaporated from the face of the earth.
