Superman Termination Manual

Ten minutes ago, Wanxiang City's fifth level, the Imax theater.

In the pitch-dark Imax auditorium, cold, icy light spilled from the giant screen, illuminating rows of red seats and the faces of three moviegoers.

Ke Mingye was leaning on the armrest, elbow propped up, right hand supporting his chin.

He yawned, tears welling up in his eyes.

The session at ten in the morning, not to mention the cinema, even the entire mall was scarcely populated, so they naturally had the place to themselves.

On the Imax full-frame screen, the titan Godzilla was colliding with King Kong. The earth shook, and the roar of the beasts filled the air, making Ke Mingye yawn repeatedly.

However, it reminded him of the "King Kong" and "Godzilla" fragments that had appeared in his daily lottery.

"There's no way someone could actually bring these two things to life," he thought. "If they exist, the system will definitely give opportunities. I feel like it's going to be chaos in a year."

Bored, Ke Mingye played with his phone for a while, glancing over at Bai Qiuwu in the process.

His older sister was mostly distracted throughout, occasionally shifting her gaze and subtly looking around.

"I'm going to the restroom,"

Ke Mingye said, rising from his seat and edging toward the aisle in the middle.

"I'll go too,"

the one next to him, Bai Qiuwu, also said, as she picked up her backpack.

"Why do you need to take your backpack to the restroom?" Ke Mingye asked casually.

"Do I really have to say it? It's that time of the month for girls."

Bai Qiuwu glanced at him irritably, finding an irrefutable excuse.

"Oh oh, I get it."

After saying that, Ke Mingye scratched his nose, fiddled with his phone, and walked out of the auditorium a step behind Bai Qiuwu. Then, after walking a short distance down the audience corridor, he entered the men's restroom at the corner.

In the empty public restroom, he was the only one there. He walked to the last stall, locked the door, and sat on the toilet cover.

"Ah, looks like I've become the Toilet Avenger…"

Ke Mingye bent down, head drooping as he sighed.

He always felt this scene was familiar, still a cinema, still a restroom.

Last time, he was hiding from his big brother's family inspection, passionately battling his big brother;

this time, he was already embroiled in a fight between his second brother and his younger brother.

This family really was a disaster through and through.

"My true self is too weak, I lack protective skills, and my reactions aren't quick enough; any ninja could slice my throat in an instant... Although they wouldn't likely target Ke Xiaomo's family, just to be safe, I better not join the battle and just camp out in the restroom instead."

Thinking so, Ke Mingye clasped his hands together, praying he wouldn't be targeted by a ninja, then released two "Deception Puppets."

In an instant, two gray humanoid figures were crouching at his feet, ready for orders.

"Without a web shooter, I'm too much of a muggle, easy to knock out. But there's only one web shooter, so... to ensure basic mobility, I have to let another puppet transform."

Ke Mingye scratched his nose, pondered carelessly for a while, opened his inventory panel, and used a Magical Girl Transformation Card on one of the puppets.

Immediately, the left Deception Puppet was enveloped in a dim cocoon light.

The next moment, as the cocoon light shattered, she transformed into a blonde, blue-eyed girl in a Christmas cape dress, holding a Magic Wand.

Magical Girl Xiaohongmao just sat there, hugging her knees, crouching in a corner of the stall, staring blankly at the floor.

Ke Mingye didn't bother with her and let the strange thing put on a train conductor's uniform, don a conductor's cap, and then attached a web shooter, a night belt, and Electromagnetic Pulse Gloves.

Soon, the strange thing's right hand successfully integrated with the metal glove, producing a "clack clack" of steel biting together. At the wrist, a small, exquisitely-made red and blue device appeared, and a black metal belt appeared around its waist.

It lowered the brim of its conductor's high hat, waiting for Ke Mingye's command.

These were already the best equipment he could pull out now; his inventory was left with only a lone, lonely D-grade pirate blunderbuss lying in the equipment slot.

Ke Mingye took a deep breath, mentally giving orders.

The fully armed strange thing then stood up from the ground, leapt to the restroom's windowsill, opened the window and peered out, attached itself to the fashion billboard above with its web, and descended upside down.

Ke Mingye closed his eyes, focusing on the visuals transmitted from the puppet.

"Let me see what's happening outside...

With the command given, the strange thing, eyes hollow, hung upside down below the advertisement on the fifth floor of Wanxiang City, looking down on Luo Dehua Commercial Street.

The street appeared so casual, akin to a tranquil long shot typically seen at the beginning of a romance film.

Pedestrians flowed like soothing music on the street, with electronic signs everywhere like bursts of blooms, dazzling to behold.

To someone else, this scene might relax their alertness, allowing them to breathe a sigh of relief;

But at that moment, the corner of Ke Mingye's eyes twitched slightly.

"No way, dude…"

The moment his gaze fell on Luo Dehua Commercial Street, the reflection in his pupils revealed an incredible scene. Above the heads of the hundreds of pedestrians on Luo Dehua Commercial Street...

Without exception, each carried an information panel.
