Superman Termination Manual

Chapter 103: The Masked Man_2



He pondered for half a second, lifted his clear eyes, and said unhurriedly, "Miss Wen, I just received a last-minute work notification."

As he talked, he propped up his chin and took a sip of lemon water, "It looks like I'll be very busy for the next week, and I probably won't be able to watch the movie the day after tomorrow. Maybe we should just forget it?"

"Are you regretting this now?" Cai Bing raised her eyes, tilting her head to look at him.

"No, I'm telling the truth."

"Could it be that your girlfriend suddenly called you?" Cai Bing continued to probe, "Having a girlfriend and still flirting around, aren't you ashamed to do this in front of your brother?"

At this moment, Ke Mingye, seemingly occupied with his phone, was actually listening very clearly. His head buzzed as if a hot iron was scorching inside, and he was almost about to faint.

He began to type in the chat panel, starting to put pressure on Cai Bing.

[Failed Man: Aren't you leaving yet?]

[Cai Bing: What's the rush.]

[Cai Bing: You definitely can't just let it go in this kind of situation. His behavior before and after is also abrupt, wouldn't it seem strange if I didn't continue to ask?]

[Failed Man: I now know why you were able to hang out with Fan Quan in your last life; you've got quite the nerve.]

[Cai Bing: Rather than that, on another note...]

[Failed Man: What do you want to say?]

[Cai Bing: Your brother is quite handsome.]

[Failed Man: Dude, if you want to die, just jump into a river. Don't drag me into it, okay?]

"No, I don't have a girlfriend," Ke Yinzhi sipped his coffee and answered.

Cai Bing tilted her head slightly and looked straight into his eyes, "So you just don't fancy me, huh?"

"Of course not."

"Then your face turned pretty fast, just got one call and you lost interest in me."

Cai Bing propped up her chin, tapping the table lightly with her fingers and watched him expressionlessly.

After a long sigh, she gave in, "13822858, that's my phone number. I've given you my contact. What about yours?"

"All right..."

Left with no choice, Ke Yinzhi reluctantly reported a number, "15971241."

Ke Mingye choked on his lemon water; he realized that Ke Yinzhi had given out Ke Xiaomo's phone number.

"Remember to answer my call. See you in a week. Also... about the coffee you offered, let's forget it. I don't like owing people things."

As she spoke, Cai Bing had already stood up from the table and, before leaving, didn't forget to take a glance at Ke Mingye, leaving behind a remark.

"Your brother is pretty cute."

"Is he... well, actually, I think so too."

Ke Yinzhi replied casually, covering his mouth to stifle a smile, then stretched out his hand and ruffled Ke Mingye's hair teasingly, making it messy.

"What do you mean by that?" Ke Mingye brushed off his hand and looked at him with disdain, "What's funny about someone complimenting me? Don't you know how popular a high school boy is among female groups, just like men always like eighteen-year-old beauties?"

"Right, right, high school boy."

Ke Yinzhi's tone was laid-back as he teased while keeping an eye on Cai Bing's retreating figure.

By now, Cai Bing had walked down the stairs and out of the café.

Once her footsteps faded away, Ke Mingye dared to say, "Please, that woman is quite something. I didn't even dare to speak... Big brother, you haven't been played by her, have you?"

"Haha, actually, I gave her Ke Xiaomo's number just now."

"I figured as much, you're such a jerk. What if Second Brother falls for her?"

"Oh, are you talking about our little Xiao Mo? The odds of him becoming a monk and shaving his head are probably much higher than him dating someone..." Ke Yinzhi bantered, "Forget about it, here comes your ice cream."

Ke Mingye took the sundae ice cream and a tiny metal spoon from the server, then started to spoon ice cream into his mouth while glancing at the chat panel.

[Cai Bing: He gave out his own phone number?]

[Failed Man: My second brother's, don't ever call. My second brother is quite a heavyweight; if he gets suspicious of you, he'll turn into a shadow and watch you 24/7.]

[Cai Bing: Is it that scary?]

[Failed Man: I can only say, my family's terrifying darts man and terrifying crow man are no joke. You've already messed with a crow man, and I advise you to steer clear of the darts man.]

[Cai Bing: If players could add each other as friends without meeting face-to-face, who would want to meet you... The trouble just now was your own doing, choosing a place your brother might come to, and then nagging me the whole time.]

[Failed Man: He told me over the phone he would only be home at night, I was duped, okay. I just planned to meet you and leave, but then I bumped into him just by chance.]

[Cai Bing: Alright, then answer me one question and I'll forgive you, buddy.]

[Failed Man: What question?]

[Cai Bing: What is your brother's mobile number?]

[Failed Man: Blocked. Don't message me.]

.....

....

After having dessert at the coffee shop, Ke Mingye went home with Ke Yinzhi.

Time passed very quickly, and soon it was night.

After having dinner, Ke Mingye returned to his room and sat on the bed. He took out a C-level equipment known as "Anchor Sunglasses" from his bag, which he had bought at a 30% discount from the mall this morning. Nevertheless, it was outrageously expensive and cost him a fortune.

The appearance of the equipment was basically the same as ordinary sunglasses, the only difference being there was a start button on the far right.

He slid the sunglasses into his trouser pocket, then walked out of his room and downstairs. Sitting on the couch, he glanced sideways at Bai Ziling at the dining table and gently pressed the button.

[There are a total of four characters within an eight-meter radius of you: Ke Yinzhi, Ke Xiaomo, Bai Ziling, Bai Zini. On which character would you like to set the anchor point?]

"Bai Ziling."

Ke Mingye responded in his mind.

[The anchor point has been set on the character "Bai Ziling." Next, as long as you wear the sunglasses and press the button on the edge again, you will be able to acquire the location coordinates of that character.]

Ke Mingye saw that there were no hitches, breathed a sigh of relief, reached for a cup of tea handed to him by Ke Xiaomo, and looked up at the TV.

He watched TV on the couch with Ke Yinzhi and Ke Xiaomo, while waiting for Bai Ziling to leave the house.

Suddenly, Ke Xiaomo's phone rang in his pocket. He walked to a corner of the living room, answered it, and put it to his ear.

After a moment, he sat back on the couch and shot Ke Yinzhi a puzzled look: "Song Yawen, who is she, another ex-girlfriend of yours? She's asking for your phone number."

Ke Mingye choked on his tea, almost spraying it out, hissing from the burn.

He thought to himself that the hacker girl was really a bit off, feeling safe and then wildly seeking trouble on the edge of the death line, not caring about his life or death, huh?

Ke Yinzhi, sipping on Wong Lo Kat and watching TV absentmindedly, said: "Song Yawen... don't think I've heard of that name before, is it a scam call?"

"The lady you met today at the coffee shop, come on, big brother, your memory can't be that good, right?"

Ke Mingye managed to swallow the tea and reminded him.

Could this be the side effect of a genetic mutation, he wondered.

"Oh, now I remember." Ke Yinzhi raised his eyebrows and said to Ke Xiaomo, "Just pretend you don't know me, and if all else fails, tell her she's got the wrong number."

"Such a bore..."

As he spoke, Ke Xiaomo hung up the phone expressionlessly. Less than two seconds later, the other party called again. He listened to the ringing, fell silent for a moment, sighed softly, picked up and gave out Ke Yinzhi's mobile number, and then hung up again.

"Seriously, dude... you just sold me out like that?"

Ke Yinzhi turned his head to look at him, his expression odd.

"Last time it was that Magic Girl, and now some stranger, I'd like to ask you, can your emotional debts get any deeper?" Ke Xiaomo asked.

"Ah, I can only say those were misunderstandings, but say whatever you want, it doesn't really matter..."

Saying this, Ke Yinzhi casually rested an arm on the back of the couch, took a leisurely sip of Wong Lo Kat, and couldn't be bothered to explain any further to Ke Xiaomo.

"I'm full, going out for a walk."
Your adventure continues at empire

Bai Ziling's calm voice came from the kitchen. She then rose from beside the dining table, walked slowly to the entrance, slipped on her sandals, and walked out the door with a tap-tap sound.

Seeing her leave home, Ke Mingye didn't rush but continued to watch the movie with Ke Yinzhi for a few more minutes.

Then he went upstairs, returned to his room, locked the door, and from the windowsill released a Deception Puppet, handing it the Anchor Sunglasses.

"With these sunglasses out, I should have no reason to lose her tonight," he thought.
