Chapter 187: Death Encounter with Gastello (Part )

Ke Xiaomo and Ke Mingye stood against the wall, silent.

Their cell phones and books were confiscated, so they could only stare at the stairs in a daze, returning to a primitive life.

Soon, with the sound of a door opening downstairs, Bowenna's scolding was heard again in the living room.

"As the eldest brother, why don't you teach your younger siblings how to order good food? Why are you back so late?!"

Ke Yinzhi seemed to explain something, but still succumbed to the tyranny of his mother and went upstairs obediently after a while.

He raised his eyes and looked at the two people standing in punishment with surprise. He was stunned at first, then shook his head and chuckled. Finally, under the sympathetic gazes of Ke Mingye and Ke Xiaomo, he silently joined the ranks of those standing in punishment.

In fact, compared with Ke Xiaomo and Ke Mingye, Ke Yinzhi was better off, at least his cell phone was not confiscated.

"We are really brothers in distress..."

Ke Yinzhi yawned as he spoke, and while taking out his phone from the pocket of his black coat, he asked nonchalantly, "So...what heavenly law did you two break? Tell me about it."

"Ask my second brother." Ke Mingye directly passed the blame.

"We went out for a night run." Ke Xiaomo replied.

"You're running so late?"

Ke Yinzhi lowered his head and played with his mobile phone and asked casually.

"Yes."

Hearing Ke Xiaomo's answer, Ke Mingye raised his eyebrows slightly and thought, it turns out that the second brother did not tell the eldest brother that he became a superhero.

Isn’t this not very scientific?
The relationship between the eldest brother and the second brother can be completely described as conjoined twins. How could they not tell each other about such an important matter?
He had originally prepared himself to be dragged to the meeting by his eldest brother, but this time he couldn't help but be surprised.

Ke Mingye sighed silently. Whenever he thought of the two elementary school students standing next to him, he felt quite emotional.

Who would have thought that the three eldest brothers in the family, the backbone of the Bo Ke family: Black Judge, Shadow Ninja Sect Leader, and superhero Blue Owl, were standing stupidly under the pumpkin lantern with their backs against the wall in the corridor.

It was like a primary school student who was late for class and was kicked out of the classroom by the head teacher.

They could vaguely hear movie lines coming from the living room downstairs, and they realized that Bai Ziling and Bai Zini were rewatching the Harry Potter series again.

In fact, Bai Ziling is not very interested in this kind of movie.

Because when she watched a lot of weird fictional fantasy films, she would always see the plot of "vampires harming the world and doing evil, but were eventually hacked to death by the protagonists, and let out an ugly scream before dying, and then their souls flew away", such as "Blade", "Van Helsing" and "Day of the Blood".

As a child, when her brothers and sisters gathered on the sofa to watch such movies, she would always feel uneasy, with her head hung and her eyes buried under her snow-white hair.

At this time, she would always move herself closer to Ke Mingye, gently pull his sleeve, curl up on the sofa like a kitten, and hide behind him.

At that time, Ke Mingye thought that Bai Ziling was afraid of the vampires in the movie, so when choosing movies, he automatically filtered out those containing vampire and demon elements.

It was not until now that Ke Mingye recalled and realized: It turned out that Bai Ziling was not afraid of vampires. After all, she was quite excited to watch a horror movie alone late at night. The vampires in a mere fantasy movie could not scare her. What she was actually afraid of was the scene in the movie where the vampire's head was chopped off.

Although there are vampires in the world view of "Harry Potter", they have nothing to do with the main story line. So although she is not very interested in it, she will occasionally rewatch this movie with Bai Zini. It is considered a must-see program for the summer vacation.

Ke Mingye looked up at the ceiling, his thoughts wandering, the wound in his chest still aching slightly.

During this period of time, Ke Xiaomo seemed to want to say something repeatedly, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he stuffed the words back into his throat and quietly looked away.

After a while, Bowenna came out of the bedroom and said, "Will you come back so late next time?"

Ke Yinzhi quickly raised his head, put his phone into his coat pocket, raised his free left hand like a primary school student, and said calmly: "I was wrong."

"Be more serious." Bowenna hugged her shoulders and looked at him with a frown.

"Mom, we are all college students now, can't you let us have some freedom?"

Ke Yinzhi shrugged and made a suggestion: "I think it's enough to just punish Mingye by making him stand. After all, he's a high school student and needs to control his schedule. Comrade Xiaomo and I should go back to our room and rest first, shall we?"

"Oh my god, brother, are you human?"

Ke Mingye was shocked, thinking that there are still brothers who cheat their younger brothers, so he reported his eldest brother overnight: "Mom, you must not let him go, the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam is crooked! And the eldest brother's phone has not been confiscated yet, but it is still in his pocket. Can you treat us equally and fairly?"

Ke Xiaomo shook his head and chuckled softly. He remembered that they had often experienced similar things when they were young, and every time when it came to this stage, the three brothers would blame each other.

"Shut up, do you think your mother doesn't understand these things?" Bai Wenna asked coldly.

Anyway, the goal has been achieved, so Ke Mingye just shut up.

Bai Wenna stared at Ke Mingye, then looked at Ke Yinzhi: "You don't act like a boss all day long, you are so careless. I don't know who you inherited this character from..."

As she spoke, my mother took out the cell phone from his coat pocket, confiscated it, and then turned to look at Ke Xiaomo and Ke Mingye.

Ke Xiaomo said, "I won't do that next time, Mom."

Ke Mingye said: "My second brother can't say anything, so please let us go, mom."

Bai Wenna asked: "Second brother can't say, what about you?"

"My second brother took me out to play, and I had no choice." Ke Mingye sighed, "So it's enough for him to reflect on it. Why should I reflect on it? Mom, you are being a little unreasonable."

Ke Xiaomo did not make any excuses, but just shook his head and sighed, hugging his shoulders and remaining silent.

He knew that Ke Mingye was injured, so he didn't want to make things difficult for him. If he could take the blame for him, then he would. It would be better for him to go back to his room and rest early than to be trained in the corridor.

"It seems you haven't reflected enough. Stand still for a while longer."

After saying this, Bai Wenna went downstairs with a feather duster. Then, Bai Zini and Bai Ziling's cries for mercy could be heard, and they jumped upstairs like rabbits.

At this time, Bai Qiuwu's sigh came from the next room. She had to go to cram school tomorrow, and she couldn't sleep because of the noise.

Then, Ke Yongzhu's complaint came from another room: "It's so noisy..."

He went to bed early these days and rarely left his room. He would either stay in the room playing with his phone or go out for a walk alone. Unless Bai Zini and Bai Ziling took him out to play, it was difficult to see him at home.

When Ke Mingye saw Bai Ziling going upstairs, he quickly mouthed to her, "Save her, sister number one."

"It can't be saved."

Bai Ziling spoke in a low voice, shaking her head very seriously, her snow-white hair swaying, and then she walked past them expressionlessly and walked into her room.

Close the door, lock it, the main purpose is to cut off the relationship and avoid being affected by the mother's anger. Listening to the "click" sound of the lock, the three big brothers felt chilled.

Ke Yinzhi yawned, smiled slightly, and said sarcastically: "It seems that... even your sister is unwilling to save you. You two brothers are really failures."

Ke Xiaomo retorted sarcastically, "Are you sure it's not you who failed as the eldest brother?"

Ke Mingye said: "I think you are all failures. If I were the only one standing here, Ziling would have already begged her mother for mercy. She obviously doesn't want to bother with you."

After saying this, he immediately looked to the second figure coming up the stairs, clasped his hands together in a prayer gesture, "Help me, Sister No. 2!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Zini looked up from her phone to see the three people standing in punishment. She was stunned for a moment, then she couldn't help holding her stomach and holding back her laughter, and finally a gloating expression appeared on her face.

She coughed twice and said, "Wow... Aren't these our old old brother, old old brother, and old brother? You are really interesting. You are still here correcting your hunchbacks in the middle of the night. Are you rehearsing for the university military training?"

To be honest, Ke Mingye also wanted to let the dice monster in at this time and sarcastically said to Ke Xiaomo and Ke Yinzhi who were standing in the corner as punishment.

"Wow, isn't this our Ninja Clan leader and Black Judge? Why are you so lame? You're standing against the wall in the middle of the night. You weren't like this when you were killing people outside."

However, he himself was in the penalty queue, which was really annoying.

"Are you going to save him or not?" Ke Mingye asked with narrowed eyes.

"Xiao Ni, please ask mom for us." Ke Xiaomo hugged his shoulders and sighed.

"If it's really difficult, just plead for your eldest brother. You don't need to worry about the two people next to him." Ke Yinzhi said with a smile.

"That depends on your attitude. I'll give you some time to think about it."

Having said that, Baizini walked into the bathroom with a hum under the gazes of the three people, closed the door, washed up, and then opened the door and slowly walked out.

"Please, Master Bai Zini, I will be your errand boy for the next week." Ke Mingye put his hands together, "Do you think this is okay?"

"Where are the other two?"

Baizini seemed unsatisfied and tapped her arm lightly with her fingers while looking at the other two.

"I'll buy you a Pikachu doll tomorrow," said Ke Yinzhi.

"I'll buy you a new schoolbag." said Ke Xiaomo.

Bai Zini immediately came into play, with stars in her eyes, and clapped her hands and said, "Wow, three brothers, you are so nice. It would be even better if you were always this nice. Then I will help you out reluctantly!"

As she spoke, she walked into her mother's room confidently, carrying the hopes of her three brothers.

He was blasted out in less than three seconds.

He was covered in dust and looked very miserable.

Ke Yinzhi shrugged;

Ke Xiaomo sighed;
Ke Mingye looked disdainful.

Bai Zini hung her head in dejection. She looked at her three brothers' faces with varying degrees of contempt with sympathy and said, "Can you please stop looking at me like that? It's all because you gave me too little leverage. Old brother, if you're willing to buy me a set of Lolita skirts, I'll just plop down on my knees beside the bed and beg mom for mercy. How could I be kicked out at the speed of light?!"

She paused and said deeply: "It seems... only Dad can save you."

Ke Mingye said weakly: "Then you should call Dad and ask him to come home. Tell him that Mom has gone crazy again."

Although he said this, he actually knew that Qing Ya should be busy investigating the incident of the KQA Trade Building and looking for the whereabouts of Blue Owl. After all, Ke Mingye had not used his cell phone to report his safety to Che Zhengchen and Bai Yi, and he had returned alone without permission. Now they might all think that Blue Owl was missing.

"My phone is on the sofa downstairs. If I go down now, my mom will scold me to death. You guys better take care of yourselves..."

After saying this, Bai Zini walked back to the room without looking back.

Ke Yinzhi spread his hands and said, "Mingye, if you hadn't asked my mom to confiscate my phone, I would have secretly sent a message to my dad to ask him to go home. It's all your fault." Ke Mingye said contemptuously, "Then I might as well stand there for a while longer with you, a bitch, and we'll die together."

Ke Xiaomo took a deep breath and said, "Please stop arguing. I don't want to stand with you all night."

"Okay... seeing how pitiful you are, I'll secretly go downstairs and call dad."

As she spoke, Baizini quietly walked out of the room again, bent over and began to sneak in, approaching the stairs step by step.

The three brothers held their breath, pinning their hopes on her back, fearing that the sound of their breathing would affect her infiltration.

As a result, in less than two seconds, she stopped in her tracks and trembled all over at the sound of Bowenna's scolding.

"Bai Zini, why aren't you sleeping yet? Why are you going downstairs to watch TV?!"

"No, mom, it was my third brother who ordered this. He said he was bored standing there, so he asked me to go downstairs and get him a cell phone to play with!"

Bai Zini stammered and immediately ran back into the room. Then she looked at the three of them pitifully through the crack in the door with a look that said, "It's not that I don't want to help, it's that I can't do it!" Then she closed the door and there was no more movement.

Ke Yinzhi shook his head and chuckled;
Ke Xiaomo couldn't help laughing;

Only Ke Mingye really couldn't laugh.

"I'm really impressed. Not only did he die at the speed of light, but he also betrayed his teammates?" He held his forehead and sighed.

Bai Wenna walked out of the room and asked in a cold tone, "You were punished to stand still but you still didn't behave yourself. Why did you ask your sister to secretly help you get your phone?"

"Pure slander." Ke Mingye quickly explained, "My second and eldest brothers can testify to this."

As he spoke, he turned his head and glanced at Ke Xiaomo and Ke Yinzhi. As a result, the two of them remained silent and looked away to the left and right. It seemed that between the two parties, they chose to be the one who protected their younger brother and the one who protected their younger sister.

"Oh, this house is really unbearable to stay in. No one here looks like a human being..."

Ke Ming sighed wildly and helplessly.

Forced into an isolated and helpless situation, just as he was thinking about how to slide down on his knees and apologize to his mother, he suddenly heard a door opening downstairs.

Kaka!

The sound was so clear and pleasant that it made Ke Mingye's ears blossom.

Soon, Dad came up with a cigarette in his mouth, glanced at the three of them expressionlessly, sighed unhappily, then turned around and said a few nice words to Bai Wenna.

Then, under the continuous bombardment of such questions as "Look at what has become of the children because you are not at home every day", "Do they look like people who can achieve anything in the future", and "If you don't take care of it, this family will be in chaos in the future", he finally found an opportunity to give the three people a way out and finally allowed them to escape from Bowenna's hands.

Ke Mingye was the first to rush into the bathroom. He washed himself in front of the mirror, then quickly walked back to the room, lay on the bed, took a long breath, and picked up the spare phone beside his pillow.

Unlock the screen and open the communication history.

Sure enough, he received a bunch of incoming call notifications from Che Zhengchen, but his phone was set to silent mode, so he couldn't hear the notification tone.

When I clicked on the information page again, I saw that the phone number was already full of text messages from Che Zhengchen. I randomly clicked on two or three of them.

【Che Zhengchen: Are you okay? 】

[Che Zhengchen: Blue Owl, are you still alive? If you receive a message, please reply. ]

[Che Zhengchen: Bai Yi said that you were also seriously injured. Why didn't you wait for the association's rescuers to arrive before leaving the scene? It wouldn't be too late to report to the association first and then go back.]

[Che Zhengchen: Anyway, I don’t mean to blame you, but if you are safe now, please reply to my message as soon as possible. Your teammates and I are very worried about you...]

This was the first time Che Zhengchen sent him a text message. He probably remembered his backup phone number last time.

Fortunately, this mobile phone number was purchased from the dark web, and the location could not be located by the telecommunications company. Moreover, Cai Bing also provided him with further insurance, so there was no need to worry about information leakage.

But just in case, Ke Mingye still opened the "Spider-Man Chat APP" designed by Cai Bing, entered Che Zhengchen's mobile phone number into the APP's contact list, and then replied to his text message.

In this way, the possibility of being discovered is further reduced.

[Blue Owl: I'm fine. Are White Wing and the others okay? I see that Vanguard and the nun are both seriously injured. Especially Vanguard, who even broke one of his hands.]

[Che Zhengchen: I'm glad you're okay. They're all fine. Pioneer is a cyborg, he just needs to get a new arm.]

【Che Zhengchen: I called you just now, why didn't you answer? 】

[Blue Owl: I was on my way home and didn’t have time to answer the call.]

[Che Zhengchen: I didn’t expect the dice monster to suddenly appear. I should have anticipated it in advance. This accident is all my fault.]

【Blue Owl: No, no one knows what that thing is thinking. It's not your fault at all. 】

[Blue Owl: Commander, let's talk again tomorrow when we get to the Association Building. I'll take care of my wounds and I'll die first.]

After sending this message, Ke Mingye stuffed the spare phone under the pillow, turned off the lights, and slowly closed his eyes.

Another night of silence followed.

July 7, five o'clock in the morning.

Ke Mingye pried open his eyelids with a slight tremor, and took in all the text on the notification panel.

[Good morning, Mr. Player, today is July 2028, 07. There are 11 days left until the deadline for the ultimate mission "Exterminate Superhumans". ]

[The current number of players surviving worldwide is: 94. ]

"It's good that no one died..."

He thought to himself, yawned, got up from the bed, and walked out of the room.

Then he took out the anchor sunglasses from his bag, pressed the sunglasses button while approaching his second brother's room to confirm whether his second brother was in the room and locked his location information.

[With you as the center, the characters within a range of eight meters are: Ke Xiaomo, Bai Qiuwu. Should we set anchor points on these characters? ]

Seeing that his second brother was still resting in the room, Ke Mingye put on his sunglasses, walked out of the house with confidence, and took out his spare mobile phone to send an email to Ke Xiaomo.

[Mr. Strange Thing: The time is confirmed. Today at noon, at the cafe in Hongge Food Street. The player who controls the parasite will meet another player there.]

After he sent the email, he started running along the outskirts of the old Jingmai Street District. It didn't take long for him to complete the task. Then he lay on the ground and did a hundred push-ups.

[Daily Task 3000: Run meters (one chance to use the reward wheel) (completed)]

[Daily Task 2: Do push-ups ( attribute points that can be freely allocated) (Completed)]

[Received the reward for daily task 2 "One Hundred Push-ups", and obtained 2 attribute points that can be freely allocated. ]

Ke Mingye raised his finger and allocated the two attribute points he had just acquired to the attribute of "spiritual power".

[Your "Spiritual Power" attribute changes: 28 → 30 points (↑2 points)]

[Congratulations, your "Spiritual Power" attribute has successfully surpassed the "minimum attribute standard for F-class superhumans" (30 points). ]

[Received the reward for daily task 1 "Run 3000 meters" and got a chance to win a lucky draw. ]

As the prompt box disappeared, the reward wheel slowly unfolded in front of him, and the texts in six areas came into view.

[3000. mall coins;]

[Second, C-level equipment - Sheep Bazooka;]

【3. Magic Card Bundle;】

[4. A fragment of a divine disc;]

[5. A random equipment card;]

[Six, 2500 experience points.]

Ke Mingye stretched out his finger and pressed the start button of the turntable. Then, the pointer began to rotate at high speed, and finally slowly stopped above area ②.

[Congratulations, you have obtained the reward for Area 2: C-level equipment - Sheep Bazooka (shoots a homing missile, the target will not be harmed, but will temporarily turn into a harmless little sheep). ]

"A tracking missile." Ke Mingye thought, "It seems to be useless, but let's try it in actual combat before making a conclusion. This kind of funny equipment can only be used by the Dice Monster alias."

After completing his daily tasks as usual, he sat on the public wooden chair, picked up his spare phone, and opened the Super Hero Association's APP.

As soon as he clicked on the APP, a window popped up saying that he had successfully completed the E-level task determined by the association: preventing a superhuman riot in the workplace, and thus received 100 points as a reward.

"I got points and a kill, this wave is quite profitable."

Ke Mingye thought so and took a look at the association’s APP mall.

Putting aside all the messy stuff, he went straight to the column of "Gene enhancers specifically for superhuman races".

It shows above that a bottle of low-level gene enhancer requires 500 points, which means that at least 5 such tasks need to be completed to purchase a bottle of low-level gene enhancer.

"The conditions aren't that difficult. I can get the enhancer by completing a few more tasks." He thought as he stood up from his chair. "Then... I should prepare to meet Gastro."

On July 7, at noon, in Huanjing City, Hongge Commercial Street, Red Paris Cafe.

Ke Mingye controlled the deception puppet and sat on a table in the museum. He tapped the table lightly with his fingers and looked out the window with his chin in his hand.

Not long after, a girl in a wheelchair came into view from outside the cafe. She slowly turned the wheels and pushed the wheelchair into the cafe.

He looked around, then came to the side of the trickster doll in a wheelchair.

"We meet again... Spider-Man." Gastro said with a smile on his face.

Ke Mingye was stunned for two seconds and carefully looked at the face in front of him. Her appearance was exactly the same as the face of the wheelchair girl that Che Zhengchen had reproduced using the brain imaging helmet.

Then he thought: "How is it possible...she actually came to see me in her true form?"
