Superman's End Manual

Ke Mingye didn't even lift his head, continuing to bend over and pant, feigning the reaction that his frail body should have, but he noticed the strange look in his second brother's eyes earlier.

Ke Xiaomo walked slowly into the alleyway, heading towards the public toilet at the back. Halfway there, he glanced sideways and, seeing that Ke Mingye hadn't followed, whistled softly.

The bluebird carrying the scroll flew over upon hearing the sound and gently landed on his fingertips. Ke Xiaomo untied the ribbon on its back, took out the scroll, and the bluebird fluttered its wings and flew into the azure sky.

Ke Xiaomo opened the scroll, where he saw text written in ink, the handwriting clear and elegant. He recognized it as the handwriting of his master, the leader of the Ren Sect.

It only says above:

—We have confirmed the location and identity of the Calamity Dragon; it disguises itself as a human and hides among the people. I am gathering disciples scattered throughout the world to form an elite force, and we anticipate making our move on July 4th.

—Silence, remember to conserve your energy and avoid alerting the enemy during this period. Quietly await our arrival.

"Half a month..." Ke Xiaomo murmured to himself, "Then the recent training can't be neglected." After reading the ink characters above, he closed the scroll, released his right hand, and let it fall to the ground.

If things go as he expects, the scroll will be swallowed up by the shadows on the ground once it hits the ground.

But at that very moment, a spider silk suddenly shot down from above, stuck to the scroll that was about to fall to the ground, and pulled it upwards with force.

Ke Xiaomo was taken aback and looked up at the source of the spider silk.

Please vote for me.

Chapter 56 Monster Family

Ke Xiaomo frowned slightly, then looked up at the sky and saw that the thick spider silk binding the message scroll came from a residential building next to the alley.

At this moment, a strange figure was sitting on the railing of the rooftop.

It was slightly bent over, swaying its long legs, its skin flowing with a liquid-like, dark gray hue. The corners of its mouth were stretched high to the sides, almost reaching its ears.

"Hey friend, what were you talking to yourself about just now? I'm very interested."

As he spoke, the trickster puppet pulled the scroll, which was held together by spider silk, upwards, grasped it in his hand, casually flipped it open, and glanced down at it.

"Uh, the Calamity Dragon has been found... How interesting. So why are ninjas and dragons opposing forces? They are two completely unrelated things. Oh, speaking of which, this reminds me of a game called Ninja Gaiden."

Ke Xiaomo observed him discreetly, as if assessing the enemy's strength.

"By the way, why didn't you hold the scroll? You just gave it to me like that?"

The doll paused for a moment. "Or... are you already planning to kill me to silence me, so you don't care?"

Before the words had even finished, Ke Xiaomo had already transformed into a shadow and disappeared into the ground, weaving through the walls of the residential buildings like a snake slithering through a jungle, skimming across the glass reflecting the morning light.

In less than a second, the oval-shaped shadow, resembling a weasel, shot onto the ground of the rooftop.

Ke Xiaomo emerged from the shadows, grabbed the doll from behind, and pulled a dagger from his sleeve, pressing it against the doll's neck.

A faint, drifting shadow covered the dagger, and this shadow was eroding the doll's neck.

Who are you?

He leaned close to the doll's ear and asked in a low voice, almost uttering each word clearly.

"Who I am is not important, but perhaps there will be a time when you need me. In half a month, your family will be in danger. At that time, which side will you stand on, the dragon's side or the ninja's side?"

The puppet spoke calmly, playing with the scroll with its right hand, sometimes opening it, sometimes closing it.

"A bunch of nonsense."

As Ke Xiaomo spoke, the cold dagger moved even closer, cutting a notch in the doll's neck.

"How about we become friends? That way, I'll come and help protect your family."

The doll held up three fingers and said calmly, "You know I have a wide network of connections. Characters like Blue Raven, Black Wukong, and Magical Girl Ash are all my friends. Maybe I can get them to come and help you out sometime?"

"If you think I would waste my time with a mentally ill person, you're wrong."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ke Xiaomo raised her hand and slashed off the doll's head with her dagger.

He thought this would end the farce, but when he looked down, he saw that the doll's head had fallen to the ground, rolled twice, and was still chattering to itself.

"Hey, why is your whole family so rude? Always chopping off hands and heads, you're all fans of Green Crow, not one of you is mentally healthy."

Ke Xiaomo watched this scene and whispered, "You are not human."

"Of course I'm not human, I'm called 'Strange Thing,' nice to meet you."

As it spoke, the doll suddenly burst into maniacal laughter, its voice growing increasingly rapid.

"You'll understand me soon, Mr. Ninja. I'm just reminding you out of good intentions... Perhaps when you face that choice, all your understanding will collapse in an instant... Your heart, which you thought was indestructible, will also be torn into thousands of pieces in a few seconds. In the end, even if you bend over and kneel down in a sorry state, you will not be able to put them back together."

"As his name suggests... a strange thing."

Ke Xiaomo frowned, coldly mocking. Just then, a shout came from the alley, the sound clearly reaching his ears.

"Second brother, are you done yet? Why does it take you so long to go to the toilet?!"

"Your younger brother is waiting for you. Do you still want to argue with me?" the doll asked in a low voice.

Ke Xiaomo ignored the doll's words, took two steps forward, sheathed the dagger, closed her eyes, and took a deep breath.

The next moment, the doll's body and head gradually sank into the shadow cast on the ground, as if they were being absorbed into a layer of gray swamp.

"I said, what are you doing? This shadow is about to eat me up."

The doll's head sank deeper and deeper into the shadows, as if it were being eaten away. It stared down at the shadow, saying in a surprised tone, "This isn't fun at all."

Ke Xiaomo did not respond, but instead transformed into a weasel-like shadow, crouching on the wall and swiftly moving into the public restroom, finally emerging from the shadow of one of the stalls.

He flushed the toilet casually and walked slowly outside amidst the loud rushing sound of the water.

At the same time, the doll's body and head were completely swallowed by the shadows on the rooftop, disappearing without a trace, as if they had never existed.

"That was a really ruthless move. The trick puppet was swallowed up by that shadow?"

At this moment, the second perspective in Ke Mingye's mind disappeared, indicating that the puppet was completely dead.

He thought to himself, "With this method of killing and disposing of the body, probably no one would even be able to find it. No wonder he's an A+ rank ninja. Second Brother must be one of the top fighters in the Ninja Clan..."

Ke Mingye recalled that, according to the information in the scroll, on July 4th, two weeks later, the Shadow Ninja Sect would launch an operation to encircle and annihilate Ke Yongzhu.

Furthermore, they did not mention the human identity of the Calamity Dragon in the scroll, seemingly deliberately concealing it from Ke Xiaomo.

They estimated that when Ke Xiaomo learned that the Calamity Dragon was actually his family member, even if he turned against them, gathering the power of the entire Ninja Sect to fight against him and Ke Yongzhu would be more than enough.

Ke Mingye also didn't know what choice Ke Xiaomo would make when she learned that the final calamity dragon was her younger brother.

At least he knew that killing Ke Yongzhu was far more complicated than the Ninja Sect Master had imagined.

Thinking of this, Ke Mingye couldn't help but chuckle, thinking to himself, "You're not just facing one dragon, you're facing an entire monster family..."

Chapter 57 Remarks on the launch

I received a notification from the editor that it's now available for purchase.

Thanks to everyone's support, I thought that such an innovative (and reckless) beginning would probably be eliminated in the first round, so I had already calmed down. Unexpectedly, it lasted for four rounds and even entered the top 10 of the new book list.

It's a pity that the book almost missed being included in the Three Rivers Award, but it did get a strong recommendation on the homepage when it was released, which is quite impressive.

As we all know, the author is busy with the fourth-grade final exams. He hasn't written anything for half a year, so his writing has become a bit rusty, but he has gained a more easygoing attitude.

I originally wrote this book just to entertain myself and relax my mind, so I used a very casual writing style. Fortunately, there are quite a few readers who click with it. As a semi-ensemble piece, this result during the new book period is acceptable.

I would also like to thank the members of the "One Drunken Soul Unfollowing Group" "Anti-Dog, Dark Blade 01, Qingmeng, Caibing, Orange Peel, Night Night, and A Zhe" for their guest appearances in this book. Their characters in the book have been modified with some labels and are quite different from the real people. They are all much more abstract than they are in the book.

This book may have multiple endings; the author has prepared three endings so far.

Without further ado, the new chapter will probably be released around 11 PM tonight. Please subscribe!

.

Finally, I'd like to recommend a few new books by friends:

①My sister says that "The Universe Survival Guide" is a masterpiece of stream of consciousness, with a unique writing style.

② My sister says that "The Yokai Handbook" is a masterpiece of the slice-of-life genre, with clear and elegant writing, a profound artistic conception, and its greatness needs no further explanation.

③ My sister said that "The End of Mythology" is a masterpiece in the mythology genre, with excellent writing and a great atmosphere.

④ "Gu Huo Niao: Starting from Yamata no Orochi" is said by my sister to be a masterpiece of the infinite flow genre. Those who like female protagonist stories and stories with a strong sense of duty should not miss it.

⑤ "You promised to practice martial arts, but you ended up with the Heavenly Gang Dharma Form?" My sister says it's a masterpiece of fantasy, super, super exciting.

⑥ "Not a Witch, But a Magical Girl" is a masterpiece of magical girl anime for children. My younger sister said it was good, funny and cute.
