Superman's End Manual

[The Failed Man: I'm free now. Are you free? Let's meet up beforehand so I don't run out of time later.]

[Anti-Dog: Okay, I just wanted to tell you something. Two players are coming to this city.]

[Anti-dog: The usual place, the video game store.]

[The Failed Man: Two Players?]

[Anti-Dog: Yes, I just received the message. Let's talk when we arrive.]

Are players really that easy to find? There are only a hundred players in the whole world, and several of them have died. How did they even find each other? Ke Mingye looked at the message, puzzled.

[Anti-Dog: Oh right, I invited Orange Peel and Qingmeng. We're going to Tokyo later. Do you want to come?]

[The Failed Man: Tokyo, are you guys crazy? Going abroad at this time of year, aren't you afraid of being discovered?]

[Anti-Dog: Haven't you looked at the "Dungeon Guide"? Open it and check the loot cards from Dungeon #7, then contact me.]

"Dungeon Guide?"

Ke Mingye glanced at the icon in the upper right corner of his field of vision. There was indeed a "Dungeon Card Encyclopedia/Dungeon Detector" there. He had only glanced at it once before and had never opened it again.

After being reminded by the anti-dog, he clicked on the icon again.

A card collection-like interface opened before him. He had only unlocked the copy of the "China Around Beijing" page, with serial numbers NO.1 to NO.100 marked under each of the one hundred card slots.

One card is loaded in each of the two card slots with serial numbers NO. ⑤ and NO. ⑦.

He raised an eyebrow and tapped on card number 5.

The image on the front of the card shows a zombie chef tilting his head back, sandwiching an exploding zombie and a porcupine together, and putting them into his mouth like a hot dog.

【Card Name: Zombie Chef】

【Card Serial Number: NO.005】

[Card Source: Defeat the Huanjing No. 5 instance – "Zombie Chase".]

[Card Effect: Players who possess this card will be immune to 30% of neural virus effects.]

"These loot cards still have effects."

Thinking this, Ke Mingye went back and opened card number 7. The image on the front of the card was of a train conductor leaning forward, frantically pulling a lever to propel the train forward at full speed.

【Card Name: Crazy Train Conductor】

【Card Serial Number: NO.007】

[Card Source: Defeating the Huanjing No. 7 dungeon – "Crazy Train Station".]

[Card Effect: Once a week, players holding this card can go to the abandoned train station on 4th Street in Old Kyoma and board the abandoned train parked on Platform 7. This train will take you to other abandoned train stations around the world (Japan, the United States, Iceland, Denmark, Norway, wherever there is an abandoned train station, the train can take you there)].

"Wow, it even has this function..."

Looking at the card's effect, Ke Mingye finally understood what Anti-Dog meant when he said, "I'm going to Tokyo later."

"Now I can finally take a round-the-world trip every week," he thought. "I should go and say hello to players in other countries and maybe steal some of their dungeon resources."

Please vote for me, thank you!

Chapter 81 Anti-Superhuman Organizations in Tokyo

September 22th, noon.

Ke Xiaomo was still helping her older brother make lunch in the kitchen, while the others were doing their own things.

So, in a corner where no one paid attention, Ke Mingye got up from the sofa, moved to the second floor, and seized the opportunity to release the trick doll out of the window.

That flight attendant uniform has already been worn in full view of everyone as the villain "strange thing," so having the doll wear it now is tantamount to burying one's head in the sand.

So, unfortunately, Ke Mingye had to go to that children's clothing store again.

He felt deeply apologetic, then controlled the doll to open the skylight, used the web-shooter to steal a pair of shoes and a light green teen-style jumpsuit, put them on, and walked towards the tobacco commercial street.

On the way, he didn't forget to spend 160 mall coins in the mall to fill the spider web launcher with spider web liquid to the maximum, just in case any unexpected situations arise.

Before long, the doll arrived at the video game store on the tobacco shopping street.

"Cultural person, I've arrived."

As it greeted the crowd, it reached out and pulled open the gate, then walked into a booth on the second floor of the arcade.

Fan Quan looked up from the open pages of his book, glanced at him, and asked, "What's with your outfit?"

The doll sat down on the sofa and replied casually, "I bought it for free from a children's clothing store. Tell me, isn't it youthful and a bit young?"

"Auto-pickup isn't off?" the anti-dog asked.

"So players have an auto-pickup function, huh? I definitely have to turn that on, but I hope it won't pick up dog poop on the road too?" The doll raised an eyebrow.

The anti-dog didn't continue with the jokes and got back to the main topic.

"Let's talk about what happened last night."

The doll picked up a French fry from the table, dipped it in some soy sauce, and said, "Before we talk about this, why don't you give me a reason not to kill you? After all, you already know my background."

The anti-dog remained calm. "I have a friend who knows about this. If you kill me, she will expose your identity."

"If that really happens, I'll drag out that friend you mentioned before I die and kill him too."

Ke Mingye lowered his head, put the fries in his mouth, and spoke expressionlessly.

“Spider-Man, no… I should call you 'Ke Mingye'. If I wanted to expose your identity, I would have done so long ago.”

The anti-dog paused for a moment, then said calmly, "We are not enemies."

"What a pity... I thought you would die at the hands of my second brother."

Ke Mingye picked up the cup on the table, took a sip of water, and spoke slowly and deliberately.

“I think so too, but I was lucky. The skills I gained from the Gate of Humanities came in handy... Besides, if I get caught, you'll be in trouble too, so there's nothing more to say.”

"So what do you want?"

Anti-Dog replied, "My friend is one of the world's top hackers; even in this world, there are few who can compare to her."

"Then?"

"Then, we will do our best to conceal your identity and prevent you from being exposed to your family. With inside help and outside support, having a powerful hacker by your side is better than worse for you. Otherwise... it would be almost impossible for you to hide under the watchful eyes of the Raven for nearly a year on your own."

"Why is it impossible?" Ke Mingye asked.

"It's like I've found a clue that's potentially fatal to you."

"What clue?"

"The Dice Monster first appeared on the traffic light sign in Yandaipang Commercial Street, wearing the uniform of Huanjing No. 3 Middle School. This will shift the focus of Qingya's investigation to that middle school."

As he spoke, Fan Quan took out his phone from his coat pocket, opened the photo album, and started playing a video.

The video shows a school corridor. Ke Mingye washed his hands and walked out of the toilet. Immediately afterward, another boy wearing a school uniform also walked out of the toilet.

The two walked away from each other in two different directions down the corridor, disappearing into the shadows.

"What does this video prove?" Ke Mingye asked.

"Given Blue Crow's cautious nature, he would investigate the face of the boy behind you, search the school's database for such a person, and then he would find that there is no such person in the school, nor has such a person ever entered the restroom ten minutes ago. In other words... this is someone who appeared out of thin air after you entered the restroom."

Anti-Dog took a sip of water. "Then he'll figure out that this boy is a puppet you're controlling, and then, connecting that to the dice monster in the school uniform, your identity will be exposed."

Do you think he'll notice that?

“He is the Blue Raven, and you are his son,” Anti-Dog asserted. “While investigating the Dice Monster, he is likely to pay attention to every frame of you, so such a small loophole is particularly noticeable.”

"Okay, I admit I was a bit careless back then."

As he spoke, Ke Mingye rested his chin on his hand and took a deep breath: "Speaking of which, wasn't it you who put pressure on me in the discussion group back then? Do you understand the embarrassment of being watched by my second brother and having to find a way to meet with you? Otherwise, would I have been so careless as to leave such a handle on me?"

"Don't worry, I'm not trying to blackmail you. I've already asked my hacker friend to delete the relevant school surveillance footage for you. By the time Qingya starts investigating, it will be too late."

"You guys are pretty thoughtful, aren't you?" Ke Mingye munched on his fries, looking completely unfazed, and asked nonchalantly, "So, what do you want me to do?"

The anti-dog replied, "We don't need you to do anything. You just need to maintain the status quo and take out a puppet to play dungeons with us whenever you have time."

"What's your hacker friend's name?"

“I told you that two players will be coming to Huanjing tomorrow. She is one of them. Her player ID is ‘Caibing’. You can see her on the kill leaderboard.”

How did they get here?

“Because Cai Bing searched your family’s files, she was targeted by Qing Ya and had to find a way to leave the city she was in,” Fan Quan said. “She is currently on a smuggling boat and will soon reach Huanjing.”

Why are there two players on the boat?

“Coincidentally, she said she met a player on the ship whose ID was ‘Paranoia’.” Anti-Dog paused for a moment, “And she suggested that we kill ‘Paranoia’ together.”

"Huh?" Ke Mingye asked, puzzled. "There are so few players left, why do we still need to kill him?"

"Cai Bing said this man is not mentally stable. The reason he came to Huanjing is to challenge Qingya to a duel."

Fan Quan adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose and explained.

Ke Mingye wondered if he had misheard. "Wait, what did you just say?"

"He wants to challenge Blue Crow to a duel."
