Superman's End Manual
Page 11
After all, compared to other players, his only advantage and biggest disadvantage is that he is "surrounded by superhumans," and these superhumans come from various factions, none of whom are unimportant in their own faction:
—Bai Wenna is an alien spy, Ke Youqing is a member of the Superhero Roundtable, Bai Zini is a core member of the Magical Girl Alliance, and Ke Xiaomo is the eldest disciple of the Ninja Sect Master…
Therefore, Ke Mingye could have planned to level up step by step, improve his strength to a certain level, and then disguise himself with a second identity, using his understanding of his family to get closer to them.
If the process goes smoothly, try to get in touch with the forces behind them, and then try to integrate into them, preparing for the future.
Unfortunately, the facts before us completely negate one of Ke Mingye's ideas.
Judging from the main quests listed by the system, Bai Wenna is destined to be one of the behind-the-scenes bosses that the hundred players who come to Earth need to defeat...
Moreover, there is a high probability that there is a time limit; they must kill her before the aliens attack Earth, otherwise, once the alien spaceship arrives on Earth, they will have another problem.
Therefore, it is highly unlikely that he will collaborate with Bai Wenna.
Of course, none of this is something he should be thinking about right now. After all, judging from the player panel, his attributes are not even as good as those of an average teenager.
However, since the game system believes that players have the potential to exterminate superhumans, it will definitely provide them with conditions to match that potential.
As long as you improve your strength step by step, you will eventually be able to figure out exactly where Bai Wenna's strength lies.
His top priority is to prevent his family from noticing his unusual behavior before he grows up.
At this moment, Ke Mingye leaned against the second-floor handrail, pretending to look at his phone, but secretly observing the panel above his second brother Ke Xiaomo's head.
The second brother should be considered one of the elites in the Ninja Clan, but his combat strength still hasn't broken out of the A-rank level, stopping at A+ rank.
Currently, apart from Bai Wenna, whose situation is still uncertain, there are no other S-class monsters among the family members, which is undoubtedly good news for Ke Mingye.
He thought to himself, "Sure enough, in this family, apart from my younger brother Ke Yongzhu's terrifying potential, my mother is indeed the undisputed final boss. Everyone else's rating fluctuates around A-level, but Bai Wenna's combat power rating is three question marks, which may even far exceed S-level."
"Akeno?"
Ke Xiaomo suddenly looked up, stared at him with a strange look for a while, and then called out his name.
Ke Mingye looked up from his phone at him, a look of surprise on his face.
"So, Second Brother, why are you back?"
"I had some business to attend to here, so I came back early," Ke Xiaomo said.
"You didn't even say anything beforehand. Dad asks me every day when you and your older brother are coming back, and so does your older sister."
"Where are they?"
“They’ve all gone out, but they should be back soon,” Ke Mingye said.
He had a point. After all, since Ke Youqing was already there, the three of them together—"Strange Hero: Blue Raven," "Divine Communicator: Black Wukong," and "Magical Girl: Ash"—should be more than capable of dealing with a Ghost Tree with only A-level combat power. There was no suspense.
Gui Shu wasn't particularly strong to begin with; at best, he could only fight Bai Qiuwu to a standstill. With Bai Zini added to the mix, it was already a tough fight, leaving him barely clinging to life. Not to mention, Ke Youqing, with his extensive combat experience, joined the battle, making the situation completely one-sided.
At this very moment, in a school located on Yandai Commercial Street.
A graceful figure flew down from the deep night sky, descending with an umbrella in her hand, and landed on the rooftop of the abandoned elementary school.
This elementary school, which closed down ten years ago, is the base for all the magical girls in the city surrounding Beijing.
Many magical girls from China have visited this elementary school, gathering in the empty classroom to discuss their adventures, occasionally complaining about how awkward their dresses are to wear and how unsuitable their magical weapons are to use.
There are also magical girls who rely on their contracted beasts to fight, and they often publicly execute their contracted beasts in the classroom, indignantly recounting how this guy tricked her from an ordinary teenage girl into a hardworking magical girl who is always busy.
They would shed tears when they spoke emotionally, murmuring, "What's the difference between lying to someone about becoming a magical girl and lying to someone about studying civil engineering?"
Because magical girls are generally quite young, a large number of people really dislike the word "school".
They had strongly resisted using this primary school as a base, but in the end, for its convenience, this historically significant base has been preserved to this day.
At this late hour, the abandoned elementary school was naturally deserted, making it a convenient place to remove one's magical robes. Thus, Magical Girl Ash immediately thought of this place after ending her battle.
The moment her toes touched the rooftop, her clothes fell to the ground like a colorless veil, disappearing and being replaced by her original school uniform.
At the same time, the battle umbrella in her hand, named "Cinderella," transformed into a simple, unadorned folding black umbrella.
"Ah—Qiu!"
As Bai Zini folded her umbrella, she sneezed in the cold wind. She wiped her nose with her finger, stomped her foot hard, and muttered to herself.
"Damn it! I haven't showered yet, and I still haven't caught that damn monkey! I'm so angry!"
"And that annoying Blue Raven, all he does is act as a lackey of the government. I feel disgusted just looking at him!"
She still remembered the last time she encountered Qingya, this eerie "terrifying crow man" followed her across half of the city surrounding Beijing, and she had to use every trick in the book to shake him off.
In fact, she knew why Qingya was following her. After all, Qingya was directly under the authorities, and the authorities would naturally ask him to investigate the background of these vigilantes of unknown origin.
But every time she thought about that incident, Bai Zini first felt a chill run down her spine, then felt a surge of resentment, thinking to herself, "We're all fighting crime, so why does having an official title make us superior?"
"Oh no, oh no, if I don't go home soon my mom will call me non-stop."
Bai Zini crossed her arms with her left hand and took out her phone from her school uniform pocket with her right. The pop-up notifications from her "mother" made her shudder.
She put away her phone, clicked her tongue softly, and walked from the iron gate on the rooftop into the stairwell of the teaching building, shuffling down the stairs.
Just then, a ray of moonlight shone in through the window at the entrance of the corridor, and her face appeared on the phone screen.
"Oh, I almost forgot to change my face back."
Bai Zini shuddered and quickly pulled out a classically styled folding mirror from the pocket of her school uniform jacket—this mirror was called the "Magic Mirror," left to her by her master, "Magical Girl Lily."
As long as she concentrates and imagines what she wants in front of the magic mirror, her facial features will immediately change.
Bai Zini's method has proven effective time and again. Each time, she would look in the "magic mirror" and imagine her face two or three years older, then put on a series of British-style makeup looks to match her gothic dress.
That way, no one will recognize her.
Bai Zini looked in the mirror and only breathed a sigh of relief when her face returned to normal.
She put away the magic mirror, looked up, and followed the sliver of moonlight overhead to look out the window from the stairwell entrance.
"Master, are you doing well in London?"
She murmured softly, the sky reflected in her pupils.
A sliver of moonlight appeared and disappeared in the clouds. It was a sky with fish-scale patterns, and wavy cloud patterns were everywhere, filling the deep blue night sky in waves.

Chapter 12 Everyone has their own concerns
June 18, night, in the city surrounding Beijing, Gu Jiu Si Cun on the coast, in an old lighthouse on a corner of the coast.
The Divine Being, Black Wukong, stood on the observation deck, silently gazing at the distant horizon. After a long while, he slowly removed the mask covering his face and took off his metallic silver-white trench coat.
Like a goldfish surfacing for air, Bai Qiuwu closed her eyes and took a gentle breath. When she opened her eyes again, her pupils were still as bright as if they were burning with a turbid fire.
She removed the hood from her head, and her long hair, which had been tied back, immediately fell down.
Then he raised his right hand and touched his eyes. Soon, the crimson in his pupils flickered and died out like a tiny flame, leaving only darkness.
Bai Qiuwu lowered her eyes, and it took a long time for the burning sensation in her eyes to subside. She let out a long sigh, raised her face, and remained silent for a while, gazing at the outside of the exhibition stand.
Under the moonlight, shimmering waves crashed against the shore, constantly breaking into white sprays that made a splashing sound.
"It really was her..."
She murmured softly in the empty exhibition room.
One of the abilities brought by the divine means "Sun Wukong" is "Fiery Eyes," which allows her to see through all "illusions" and "falsehoods."
Perhaps even the most discerning eyes cannot see through a mask to identify who is behind it, but when she focuses her gaze on someone who has altered their appearance using some kind of illusion or magic, she will certainly be able to see their original appearance.
Therefore, through those eyes, Bai Qiuwu saw the true face of the magical girl Ash without any obstruction.
It was an incredibly familiar face.
A face I've known since childhood, a face imprinted in my memory for over a decade, a face that continues to grow yet remains dear to me.
She knew what this face looked like when it was a child, and she had seen this face cry and act coquettishly, but she had never seen this face show any coldness towards her.
"Xiao Ni, why you..."
Bai Qiuwu crossed her arms, her eyes darting around, and murmured softly.
"Besides me, does anyone else in the family know her identity?"
She shook her head.
"No, I should be the only one who knows."
Should I tell my parents about this?
“No, that would easily expose my own identity, but if I let her continue to act recklessly, something bad could easily happen.”
Bai Qiuwu tilted her head slightly, her fingers tracing her chin as she pondered the matter.
Bai Zini's repeated calls of "sister" still seemed to echo in her ears. Compared to the cold face of the magical girl Ash, Bai Qiuwu felt somewhat lost.
She couldn't understand why Bai Zini had become a magical girl so quietly, without anyone in the family knowing.
The incident happened so suddenly that it caught her off guard.
In fact, when Bai Qiuwu first encountered this so-called "magical girl Ashes," she had already seen through her with her discerning eyes and realized that she was Bai Zini.
At that time, Bai Zini was fighting a criminal. In order to prevent her from getting hurt, Bai Qiuwu almost subconsciously summoned his somersault cloud and forcibly dragged her out of the battlefield.
However, she did not expect that Bai Zini would hold a grudge against her for so long because of what she did subconsciously, and even came to her door this time.
