Superman Termination Manual

After releasing the Deception Puppet from the windowsill, Ke Mingye turned and walked out of the room. He didn't expect that as soon as he went downstairs, he could no longer see Ke Xiaomo's figure in the living room.

"Where's Second Brother?"

He asked the people on the sofa.

Bai Qiuwu, sitting on the armrest of the sofa and holding a pen, looked at some college entrance examination math materials and responded, "He went out with Big Brother. They said they wanted to sit at the café nearby, your cola is on the table."

"Oh."

Ke Mingye didn't even need to think to know that Ke Yinzhi and Ke Xiaomo must have gone out to discuss cultural matters.

So did Fan Quan really escape from Second Brother's hands, or did Second Brother and Big Brother already have Fan Quan under control, and were now setting a trap for him together...

The more Ke Mingye thought about it, the more confused he became, so he picked up the remaining bottle of cola on the white round table in the living room, then sat down on the sofa to watch Bai Ziling and Bai Zini playing "Double Act."

They were on the space level.

Bai Zini controlled the thin female protagonist standing on a gigantic sphere;

Bai Ziling controlled the fat male protagonist, who magnified his body and pushed the sphere while reminding Bai Zini to press the movement key, careful not to fall off the sphere.

Ke Yongzhu, with his chin propped on his hand, sat on the side, mocking Bai Zini's skills.

Each time she died in the game, this elementary schooler would click his tongue, his face screaming "Let me play if you can't handle it." Eventually, Bai Zini, frustrated, grabbed a pillow from the sofa and threw it at his face.

Ke Mingye unconsciously twisted off the bottle cap, and steam erupted from the mouth of the bottle. Startled, he quickly brought his mouth close to the bottle to catch the cola that was about to overflow.

Then, he gulped down a few mouthfuls of the cold cola and then released the bottle, breathing out deeply.

He coughed twice, his eyes twitching, thinking to himself that Second Brother definitely did not come back home in the usual manner but had flown back from the shadows, and the cola had even fucking exploded.

"Forgot to remind you, do you need paper?"

Bai Qiuwu, with a pen against her chin as she looked at the math materials, nonchalantly offered him a pack of paper.

"Really forgot?"

"Guess how my cola spilled."

"Don't need the paper, mine didn't spill. Annoyed much?"

Ke Mingye taunted her without even turning his head, continuing to watch the game on the TV.

While his gaze seemed fixed on the television screen, his brain was actually controlling the Deception Puppet in the sky above the city, grabbing onto spider webs, weaving between tall buildings, flying towards Yandai Commercial City.

Meanwhile, Ke Mingye opened the equipment panel, looking at two pieces of gear lying inside—[Train Conductor's Uniform] and [Train Captain's Hat].

These two items were rewards from the "Crazy Train Station" instance at Number 4 Street in Old Jingmai District; it was highly unlikely that Ke Mingye himself would wear them, as they would be too out of place.

But thinking differently, it was perfect for the puppet to use.

This way, there was no need to go through great trouble stealing shoes or school uniforms anymore, although a train conductor's uniform was still too conspicuous when worn.

It would be perfect in the future to buy a set of modern clothes in the store to keep in the bag.

Having been busy all day, Ke Mingye hadn't really looked at the description of the two trophies.

Just then, as he was about to rush to meet with Fan Quan, he took the time to read the descriptions of the gear.

[Equipment Name: Train Conductor's Uniform]

[Quality Level: E-rank]

[Equipment Description: A complete set of train conductor's uniform, including a badge, jacket, shirt, pants, and shoes, which has been transformed by the Mobius Tunnel, making it fundamentally different from ordinary clothes.]

[Equipment Ability: Whenever this train conductor's uniform is damaged, as long as there is enough left, it will regenerate itself and automatically clean every corner of the uniform, making it look brand new.]

.

[Equipment Name: Train Captain's Hat]

[Quality Level: D-rank]

[Equipment Description: The hat of a train captain, which has been on his head for over two hundred years. Although it has blocked many bullets for him, it did not block the last one that was fired at his head.]

[Equipment Ability:

① When you receive a fatal injury to the head (such as from a gunshot) the hat will take over, bear the injury instead of your head, and then return to your bag to slowly self-repair.]

"Not bad at all, worthy of being an MVP reward from the instance. The hat can protect against headshots, and it even shares the self-repair feature with the conductor's uniform," thought Ke Mingye.

He clicked on the icons in the bag, equipping the Deception Puppet with the two pieces of gear.

The next moment, the puppet's body was instantly covered in a clean, neat train conductor's uniform, the outer part a dark blue suit jacket with a badge from a last century train company on the front, and a white shirt inside. Around the neck hung a blank name tag, with neither a name nor an employee number filled in.

At the same time, a dark blue hat appeared on its head, with a clear brim extending forward, shielding its eyes from the neon halos dancing on the high buildings.

However, just as the puppet donned the new uniform, about to skim over the highway, a sudden large commotion came from nearby Huanjing Bridge.

Ke Mingye heard the noise and immediately ordered the Deception Puppet to halt its motion, grabbing onto a spider web and hanging upside down on top of a building, turning its head to gaze at the upper part of Huanjing Bridge.

There, the vehicles on the bridge were congested, seemingly blocked by something up ahead. Drivers abandoned their cars fleeing with their children or wives, screaming towards the exits of the bridge.

Then, from a dense forest of vehicles piled up, a lithe and powerful figure gradually rushed forth.

It resembled a horse yet was akin to a person, its body structure melding the aesthetics of both creatures, the lower body of a horse, the upper body of a person, each segment of the body possessing robust muscles, exuding a wild sense of power.

"Centaur?"

The Deception Puppet blurted out.

The moment he saw this scene, the name of a Class C fugitive emerged in Ke Mingye's mind:

—"Ghost Horseman."

That afternoon, when Ke Mingye was looking at the wanted list that Fan Quan had searched for in the dessert shop, the name Ghost Horseman appeared right next to "strange thing," so he inadvertently remembered the name.

Little did he think that in just half a day, he would encounter this equally overestimated brother in difficulty.

Although the Ghost Horseman's wanted level was not low, his actual strength was considered the weakest among the Class C fugitives—he only had the strength equivalent to an E-class superhuman, one level stronger than Ke Mingye, a quasi-F-class superhuman, but that was it.

The reason his wanted level was so high was because his past deeds were utterly unforgivable, from eating children alive to setting fire to the residences of five innocent families in succession, to attacking police officers. Just a few dozen words were not enough to list all his crimes.

Over the past five years, Qing Ya had repeatedly arrested the Ghost Horseman more than ten times, but the Ghost Horseman, with his "ghostly body" ability, often managed to escape from various superhuman prisons.

At this moment, the Ghost Horseman was holding a huge cleaver in each hand, crashing wildly on the bridge, leaving terrifying hoof prints on top of one vehicle after another.

He sprinted forward, wildly swinging the two cleavers, cutting the vehicles he passed by in two like a fierce wind.

The formerly sleek cars were no more, leaving behind nothing but pieces of "paralyzed" scrap metal.

The screams of the crowd gathered together, almost covering the entire bridge like a tide, making the silhouette causing such a commotion appear even more fearsome like a ghostly deity.

"Speaking of which, I haven't finished my daily task three yet, what was it..."

The puppet was hanging upside down over the city, its pupils reflecting the Ghost Horseman rushing across Huanjing Bridge and successively killing two innocent civilians.

"Right, it's 'kill a superhuman.'

"Since dad refuses to deal harshly with criminals, I'll help him take down this Ghost Horseman... to save him the trouble of sending him to prison again."

Thinking this, the Deception Puppet lowered its right hand and shot a web toward the giant screen of a tall building ahead, sticking to it like an open palm.

Then, it released the original web and, grabbing the new strand of web, swung forward, while mentally rehearsing the Ghost Horseman's path of travel.

Subsequently, at the moment the puppet swung to its highest point, it released a skill from a hundred meters above.

The skill was called, "Superhero Landing."

[Height detected as suitable (above 8 meters from the ground), skill successfully released — "Superhero Landing"]

In that instant, the Deception Puppet's body suddenly bent, its right knee cocked forward, and its forefinger on its forehead. Holding this comical pose, it plunged toward the ground like a beam of light.

"Boom!"

A deafening crash ensued as the puppet accurately smashed onto the top of the rampaging Ghost Horseman.

It let out a hysterical horse's neigh as a violent jolt of force pressed him downward, all four horse legs bent simultaneously, and all four hooves knelt on the ground.

Immediately thereafter, a huge crater formed on the asphalt road.

At this moment, every giant screen on the buildings in the downtown area focused its camera on this figure descending from the sky, dressed in a train conductor's uniform, a gray oddity; the neon light halo enveloped its silhouette like an ocean.

"Who goes there, dare to... dare to..."

The Ghost Horseman supported himself on the ground with his arms, both cleavers falling into the depths of the crater, buried in the blood-soaked mud.

"Dead men talking, huh..."

The Deception Puppet mocked with its mouth as it slowly lifted its head from the back of the Ghost Horseman, straightening up while lowering its right hand to shoot webs toward his hooves.

With several "snap" sounds, the highly adhesive web firmly fixed each of his hooves inside the crater.

The Ghost Horseman struggled, supporting himself on the ground with his remaining two human arms, attempting to lift his torso out of the crater.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

But at that moment, Ke Mingye ordered the Deception Puppet to pull out the "One-time Summon Card: Self-Destructing Zombie" from its bag, and a card appeared between the puppet's fingers.

It crouched on the centaur's back, bit the card apart, and the next moment, a fierce-looking zombie appeared on the centaur's back, clutching tightly onto its head.

"What is, what is this?!"

The Ghost Horseman screamed in panic; he couldn't see the creature clutching him, only feeling an intense heat rapidly rising from its body.

"Surprise."

The Deception Puppet grinned, shot a web and grabbed onto a nearby traffic light, kicked off the centaur's back, and shot up high, catching the web and swinging to above the traffic light.

In the next instant, the zombie's body rapidly heated up and cracked, turning into a violent blaze that engulfed the Ghost Horseman's head.

The thick black blood splattered from his skull evaporated into gas in the flames, and in a blink, it vanished.

After a long moment, a red-background panel popped up in front of Ke Mingye, announcing the Ghost Horseman's death.

[You have successfully completed "Daily Task 3: Kill a Superhuman." This task is a special task; please collect your reward promptly.]

The Deception Puppet crouched above the traffic light, confirming that the Ghost Horseman was thoroughly dead, and was about to leave when it suddenly noticed a figure standing beside it.

It froze for two seconds and slowly moved its face to look at the figure. It was a man, shrouded entirely in a black cloak, wearing a pitch-black mask, with an aggressively sharp blue beak protruding from the center of his face.

"You seem to be having quite some fun."

The dark figure rasped, his ominous voice almost seeping into the Deception Puppet's mind.
