Chapter 192: Two people on the high-speed train, the supernatural mentor surnamed Crow
The C2703 high-speed train departed from the Beijing North Station, passing through the dark sky with bright sparks, and slowly headed towards the Beijing South.
The wheels rolled over the high-speed rail tracks, making a rumbling sound like the hum of a giant mountain.
At this moment, on the top of the high-speed train, Ke Mingye and a girl in a Gothic skirt were sitting on the edge, and the steel plate of the carriage beneath them was vibrating slightly.
Under the moonlight, the two men lowered their eyes and looked at the city silently.
Ke Mingye bent one leg and the other leg fell between the two lower windows: this position was very tricky, in case some unlucky passenger sitting in the lower carriage suddenly turned his head and saw a human leg outside the window, he would be frightened to the point of foaming at the mouth and losing consciousness.
woohoo...
The rustling evening breeze blew on his cheeks, and his hair swayed in disarray.
Ke Mingye sniffed his red and swollen nose, and the cold air poured into his mouth and nose, causing his throat to become dry and aching slightly.
Fortunately, the superhuman race has a good physique. Otherwise, they would have been soaked in the air conditioning in the subway, or forced to take the high-speed train to see the scenery. After returning home, they would have to lie down for at least two or three days and be seriously ill.
Ke Mingye didn't know how long he would have to stay on the high-speed train. It all depended on the mood of the good sister next to him. He didn't dare to say a word anyway.
After a while, he quietly turned his eyes away from the city scene and glanced at the magical girl Ashes sitting next to him.
The girl's profile was clear and her temperament was cold. The brightly lit city was reflected in her pupils. The tall buildings were getting farther and farther away, like bubbles that were about to burst and disappear in her eyes.
Compared to usual, she seemed like a different person at this moment, someone who was close at hand, yet out of reach.
Ke Mingye didn't quite understand. They were clearly the same person, so where did this sense of distance come from?
He wondered, was the stupid and crazy Bai Zini at home who acted crazy every day her, or was this magical girl who looked a little indifferent her?
Ke Mingye thought for a while and suddenly said, "Remember the last time we were at Hongge Commercial Street? I wanted to shake your hand, but you rejected me. You're so cold."
"How would I know it was you?"
The girl in the gothic skirt spoke softly, with a hint of complaint in her tone.
"But you really deserve a beating... This is the first time I've seen a superhero who talks so much. Should I say you are worthy of being my brother?"
"Do you really deserve a beating?"
"Ah."
"Test, what is your first impression of Comrade Blue Owl?"
"She's both a glutton and a show-off."
"Damn it, why do you have to be so hurtful? Can't you be more subtle?"
Having said that, Ke Mingye had actually heard this comment from Little Red Riding Hood a long time ago, so he didn't really care about it, let alone getting hurt.
"Tell me the truth, or do you want me to say, 'Brother, you are so cool, I admire you so much'?"
Ke Mingye sighed and tried to save his reputation by saying, "Can you please stop being so sarcastic? After all, I've only awakened my powers a few days ago, so it's normal to look a little low, okay?"
He paused and said, "But don't underestimate my potential. People in the association all say that I'm a rising star. Anyway, I will catch up with you sooner or later. Do you understand?"
"It's no use catching up with me." Ashes said suddenly.
"Why didn't it work?"
Hearing this, the magical girl Ashes was silent for a long time before she replied, "In a year, I will no longer be a magical girl... I will be just an ordinary person then, and you can bully me at will."
"Haha, then I will catch up with you within a year and make you admit defeat sincerely."
"Wow..." Huijin glanced at him and said unhappily, "You are such a boaster. I think I can beat ten of you as you are now. Ten... Do you understand?"
"Be confident. You can beat a hundred."
"It seems that you are quite self-aware." She couldn't help but curl her lips and said lightly, "In fact, I wanted to say this, but I was afraid of hurting your self-esteem."
"That's not necessary. There are so many demons and monsters in my family. My self-esteem has been damaged so many times since I was a child. This one thing won't hurt me."
"Oh."
"By the way, do you still remember that video? When you were a kid and saw me being bullied, you hugged me and said, 'I want to be a magical girl to protect my brother.' Everyone laughed at you and made fun of you every year on your birthday." Ke Mingye shrugged. "In the end, no one knew that you actually became a magical girl."
He paused and said teasingly, "If people saw you like this, they wouldn't be able to laugh anymore."
"How could I possibly forget that video? Every time you pull that video out, I really want to hit someone, okay?"
"What do you mean by 'you guys'? I didn't help the evil. After all, I am also the protagonist of the video."
Ke Mingye paused and added, "And it's so embarrassing to ask my sister who is still in kindergarten to protect me."
"Oh, I can't protect you?"
"So you became a magical girl really for this purpose."
"Hmm...what do you think?"
"No guessing."
"Oh, then I won't tell you."
"Nothing is boring. What's the difference between you and a primary school student?"
"The difference is: the elementary school student is still at home in seclusion, and he is in a bad mood these days."
"What happened to him?"
"He is actually a dragon."
"Ah, a dragon?"
"I'll tell you when I have a chance. I'm not in the mood right now."
"It's not true or false."
"I'm not in the mood. I don't want to talk about this topic."
"Okay, Miss..."
Ke Mingye sighed and said, "By the way, there is one thing I need to tell you: I suggest that you be more friendly to other people outside, not just to me."
At this point, he shrugged and continued, "Well, you were pretty rough with me, too."
Hearing this, the girl in the gothic skirt said nonchalantly: "You are my family, what are the others?"
"At least be nice to your friends, right?"
"Am I not good enough for my friends?"
"You didn't even look at what happened at Bai Yi's house this afternoon. Your friend looked at you like he looked at his superior during military training. Everyone is afraid of you." Ke Mingye complained, "You are just a naughty junior high school student at home, but you are like a female devil outside. At least you should get along better with your colleagues at work, and don't be so stiff."
"I just want them to stay away from me and keep their distance from me, so I act like that." Ashes said, "Magical girls can die easily. So the closer you get, the more hurt you'll get. The more annoying I act, the less likely people will bother me... Well, this is good."
"If you put it that way, what about You Minglu?" Ke Mingye asked, "You even brought her home, and we even played cards together. You can't say that you're keeping your distance from her, right?"
Ashes was silent for a moment: "Don't you think she looks a lot like you?"
"Come on, am I even remotely like her?"
"She looks a lot like you when you were a kid. When you came back from the orphanage, your eyes were exactly the same as hers."
Ke Mingye was stunned for a moment: "Why didn't I feel that? Is it true?"
"What else?" Ashes said angrily, "She deserves a beating more than you do. Every day she opens her mouth and says 'a little girl who grew up with garbage in her mouth can't be compared with a little girl who grew up with a silver spoon in her mouth'. I was almost pissed off to death."
"Haha, it sounds like she has a sense of humor."
"If by sense of humor you mean the ability to piss me off, then you both actually have quite a sense of humor."
"Uh... I actually think it's quite humorous."
"I don't think so."
The atmosphere was briefly tense, and the rumbling sound of the engine lingered in the ears of both of them.
"So... I'm starting to get confused as to which one is you." Ke Mingye said as he thought, "The way you are at home, or the way you are outside?"
The girl in the Gothic skirt lowered her eyes, thought for a moment, and then threw out another answer.
"The way it looks to you," she said.
"So at least you feel like you didn't lie to me?"
"No."
"You said you didn't lie to me. You acted so exaggerated at home like a fool. Even Oscar winners can't pretend like you."
"It definitely doesn't count when you have no choice." Ashes glared at him and explained, "Besides... middle school students are all like this. How mature do you expect me to be at home?"
"No middle school student is as stupid as you at home."
"roll."
At the top of the brightly lit high-speed train, the two couldn't help but smile softly as they talked. The stars were twinkling overhead, and the cold moonlight was shrouded on their bodies. The cold evening breeze blew across their cheeks, ruffling the girl's hair.
"So that strange thing, do you recognize it?" She suddenly asked, lifting the hair flying in the wind at the base of her ear with her hand.
"Of course I know him." Ke Mingye curled his lips. "He always pesters me. He not only captured my superiors, but also hurt my teammates. But he never attacked me... To be honest, I don't understand what he is thinking."
"That's right, you don't understand it. It's just a mad dog. Don't pay attention to it." Ashes frowned slightly and complained quietly, "Every time I twist its head off, it will jump around on TV again the next day... It's really annoying."
"I totally agree." Ke Mingye nodded and said calmly, "It's a pity that I can't figure out where it came from, so there's nothing I can do about it, otherwise I would have gotten rid of it long ago."
As the two were talking, a faint voice suddenly came from the corner of the train: "Oh... are you discussing my affairs? Seeing you two siblings so loving, I felt relieved, but I didn't expect that you would miss me so much even when you were alone... I am really flattered."
Ke Mingye and Huijin were both stunned for a moment, then turned their heads to look at the source of the sound with disdain.
I saw a human figure with a gray halo all over his body, with his hands on his shoulders, slowly walking out of the night, and his figure was revealed under the moonlight.
"I told you, isn't it annoying?"
Ashes sighed softly.
"It's really annoying. Not only is he a stalker, he's also a voyeur. There's no hope for him."
Ke Mingye shrugged and complained.
"Ah, prejudice is really a huge mountain. Is it possible that I am actually here to inform you of something important, rather than stalking or spying?"
The strange thing shook its raised index finger and spoke slowly.
"Don't listen to his nagging, join hands and beat him."
"Row."
As they spoke, Ke Mingye and the magical girl Ashes looked at each other, and then they both stood up from the top of the carriage.
The former stared at the dice monster quietly, waiting for it to move into the eight-meter range around him;
The girl in the Gothic skirt stopped where she was, holding the magic umbrella Cinderella horizontally in front of her with her left hand, and slowly pulled out a katana from the bottom of Cinderella with her right hand.
"Is it that serious?" The Dice Man tilted his head and continued walking forward.
As it spoke, it walked into the eight-meter area around Ke Mingye.
Seizing this moment, Ke Mingye released the E-level skill - "Phase Shift".
At the moment when he and the Dice Monster switched positions, the magical girl Ashes just pulled out the katana from under the umbrella.
bass--!
The moment the blade was unsheathed, a clear buzzing sound was heard. Amid the sharp sound like the cry of a swallow, the girl in the Gothic skirt chopped off the dice monster's head with one blow.
Effortless.
Then, the dice monster's head and swaying body fell to the edge of the high-speed railway. Like mud and sand blown away by the wind, it exploded in the air and turned into a cluster of fireworks-like flames that burned through the night sky.
Then a strange laughter came from all directions, as if covering the night.
Amidst this eerie laughter that lasted for two or three seconds before disappearing, even Ke Mingye himself couldn't help but shudder, and his legs trembled slightly.
He thought to himself, this is how the people who were usually made fun of by him felt when they heard the puppet's laughter. Now he was actually feeling the opposite.
As if trying to wipe away the stains on the blade, the magical girl Ash vibrated the sword in the air, then held the sword horizontally and slowly put it under the handle of the magic umbrella Cinderella.
"Bad luck..." she said.
"It's very unlucky." Ke Mingye walked towards her, "But it seems that we have a good understanding of each other. It's obviously the first time we cooperated and we did so well." "Everyone knows your three-pronged ability." Huijin hugged his shoulders and said lightly.
"Okay, okay, Sanbanfu. Go home before it brings anyone else here."
"it is good."
Ke Mingye hesitated for two seconds, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Uh... I can't fly, do you understand me?"
As he said this, he turned his face and extended his hand to the magical girl in the gothic skirt.
Magical girl Ash was stunned for half a second, then looking at his awkward look, she couldn't help but puff up her cheeks slightly and chuckled twice. The smile on her snow-white face couldn't be concealed.
"What kind of superhero can you be if you can't fly?"
As she spoke, she gently held his hand, then opened the umbrella upwards, soared into the air amid the rippling magical ripples, and sank into the deep darkness.
Not long after, in the Laojingmai District, on the twelfth floor of a duplex apartment building.
The elevator door slowly opened, and Ke Mingye and Bai Zini walked out of the brightly lit cabin.
Both of them looked a little unnatural, avoiding each other's gaze. It seemed that after returning to a normal life, some emotional scenes always seemed hypocritical and shameful.
"Where did you go?"
Ke Youqing was leaning outside the door smoking a cigarette. When he saw two people coming out of the elevator, he asked them casually.
"Uh……"
Just as Ke Mingye was about to speak, Bai Zini took the lead.
"My third brother and I went to the amusement park."
As she spoke, Bai Zini moved closer to Ke Youqing, lowered her voice, and asked tentatively, "Dad... Mom won't be angry, right?"
"She was looking for you two. Luckily you came back in time."
Ke Youqing held a cigarette between his lips and said in a muffled voice, "You are the only ones at home who haven't eaten yet. She will clear the table after dinner... Go in quickly before they count the food."
"Okay."
After saying that, Ke Mingye was the first to pass by him, took off his shoes and walked into the house.
Knowing that he had no appetite, he ate a few bites of dinner and went straight back to the second floor. He went to the bathroom to wash up, and then lay down on the bed in the room.
At this moment, on the other side of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region.
You Minglu had dinner at An Inchuan's home, then said goodbye to An Hong and others. Now he was walking alone on the street, bored.
The spare phone was in her hands, not in Ke Mingye's. So Ke Mingye had to turn to her point of view and take out the spare phone from the pocket of his jumpsuit.
He opened the "Spider-Man's Special Chat Software" and took another look at his mailbox.
He flipped through the emails he exchanged with his second brother this morning, sorting out the information he got from him.
[Mo: The vampire hunters you mentioned are three in total, two men and one woman. One man is wearing a vest, about 2.2 meters tall, and carrying a huge stone sword, the material of which is unknown; the other man is wearing a denim jacket and a cowboy hat, and carrying two silver pistols. The bullets are very powerful, and one shot will kill you.]
[Mo: The woman was carrying a bow and arrow, and she seemed to have shot a player in the cafe. But when I entered the cafe, the player disappeared for some reason.]
【Mo: So, you know their details?】
[Mr. Strange Thing: Of course, but be patient, Mr. Ninja. I will tell you, but now is not the time...]
At this time, Ke Mingye could only pretend to be a riddle teller. After all, he had no idea who the three people Ke Xiaomo mentioned were, and he had never met them, let alone know their background.
"At least we can confirm that there are three vampire hunters. Even my second brother acknowledges their strength, so they are at least three A-level..."
"We have to work harder, or the legendary villain 'Dice Man' will have to change his name to 'Riddler'."
As Ke Mingye thought about it, he opened his bag and checked the spider web stock of the "Spider Web Launcher". Currently, only 0.01% of the spider web stock was left.
He clicked on the [Fill] option for the "Spider Web Shooter".
[Do you want to spend 200 mall coins to buy "Spider Web Fluid" in the mall to fill the Spider Web Launcher's "Spider Web Fluid Amount" to the maximum value? ]
Ke Mingye didn't think much about it and just clicked "Yes". If this important item fails in a critical situation, then the monster will really fly.
[Thank you for your patronage. Your current mall currency balance is: "3100". ]
Seeing this, he controlled You Minglu to put the spare mobile phone into the magic book, and then found an empty corner to self-destruct, retrieving the last puppet left in the city.
All perspectives in his mind vanished simultaneously, and he yawned in relief.
Then he fell asleep and stayed silent all night.
The next day, early morning.
Ke Mingye opened his eyes with trembling eyelids and woke up from the bed.
[Good morning, Mr. Player, today is July 2028, 07. There are 12 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... This is the most hopeful episode."
He muttered to himself, scratched his messy hair, and stood up from the bed.
Ke Mingye yawned as he got out of bed, went to the bathroom to wash up, then went downstairs, put on his sneakers, ran, did push-ups, and quickly completed his daily tasks.
[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. ]
"It's still two attribute points. It seems that the player's development speed will increase by leaps and bounds in the future."
While thinking about it, Ke Mingye raised his right index finger and without hesitation allocated the two attribute points he had just acquired to the attribute of "Spiritual Power".
[Your "Spiritual Power" attribute changes: 30 → 32 points (↑2 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 text of six areas came into view.
【一、2000个商城币;二、D级装备——专注头盔;三、一张内含100000元存款的银行卡;四、限时1.5倍经验卡(在使用后,你在短时间内获取的经验翻1.5倍);五、一张随机装备卡;六、2000点经验值。】
Ke Mingye didn't even glance at it, and casually pressed the start button of the turntable. Then the pointer began to rotate at high speed, and finally slowly stopped above area ①.
[Congratulations, you have received the reward for area ①: 2000 mall coins. ]
[Current total amount of mall coins: 5100. ]
"Five thousand mall coins... I'm so poor."
Ke Mingye muttered softly.
He had no intention of purchasing E-level skills. Because the 10 skill slots were already full, and there were no skills that were so bad that they had to be replaced immediately;
As for the equipment, the equipment sold on the special sales page seems to be all kinds of strange and bizarre, but in fact, when you look carefully, you will find that not even one of them is usable.
Ke Mingye suddenly remembered that there seemed to be room for modification and upgrading of the spider web launcher, but he had always forgotten about it, so he turned to open the luggage panel.
Click on the icon of the unique level equipment "Spider Web Launcher", and an option pops up at the bottom: [Strengthen Upgrade].
He clicked on the option, and several introductory texts on strengthening directions popped up.
[Currently, there are four possible enhancements for the B-level equipment "Spider Web Launcher":
1. Electric shock spider web (5000 mall coins) (After strengthening, the spider web will have an electric shock effect when it is launched)
2. Nerve poison (7000 mall coins) (After strengthening, the nerve poison attached to the spider web can make the opponent's consciousness blurred or even directly enter a dizzy state)
3. Expand the maximum capacity of spider web fluid (1000 mall coins) (After strengthening, the spider web fluid capacity of the spider web launcher is increased)
4. Automatic repair device (4000 mall coins) (After strengthening, the equipment will be automatically repaired after being damaged. The repair time depends on the degree of damage. The higher the degree of damage, the longer the repair time)]
Ke Mingye scratched his chin, previewed several possible enhancements, and finally chose the [Electric Spider Web] enhancement direction.
[Spend 5000 mall coins to successfully enhance the spider web launcher! You can turn on the "electric spider web" mode later after setting the gesture. 】
At this moment, the spare phone in his pocket vibrated. Ke Mingye took out the phone and glanced at it casually.
【Che Zhengchen: Are you free? I need to talk to you. 】
[Blue Owl: So early? ]
[Che Zhengchen: It’s not urgent, but I think you’d better come. Otherwise, I think you will regret it.]
【Blue Owl: OK, here I come. 】
Ke Mingye looked at the incomprehensible message, replied, then turned from the street, walked towards the abandoned train station in the Laojingmai district, and entered Platform 9.
He stopped in front of a dusty locker, opened it, and took out the Blue Owl combat uniform.
Half an hour later, in the early morning hours, at the Chaoying Building.
Blue Owl walked slowly into the Chaoying Building, showed his ID card to the front desk staff, and then got on the elevator.
At this moment, the phone in his suit pocket vibrated. He took out his phone and took a look.
【Che Zhengchen: Don’t choose the 45th floor. I’m not in the office. Come to the 25th floor to see me.】
Blue Owl raised his eyebrows and pressed the "25th floor" option on the elevator control panel. The elevator car slowly rose amidst the humming sound, and soon arrived at the 25th floor of the Chaoying Building.
As the elevator door opened, a corridor extending straight forward came into view. Che Zhengchen was leaning against the wall waiting for him.
"You got up pretty early." Che Zhengchen said with a smile.
"Didn't you wake me up?" Blue Owl said as he walked out of the sedan.
"Today we are looking for you to conduct a routine superpower test. Next, a specialist in superpower research will help you to test the performance of the three superpowers in depth, so as to tailor a unique superpower training route for you. At the same time, he will give you some suggestions on the use of superpowers based on his own experience, which may help you expand your thinking and let you master new uses of superpowers..."
Che Zhengchen walked toward the front of the corridor while introducing, and finally stopped in front of a metal door marked "Superpower Testing Room No. 27". He swiped his ID card on the card slot on the door, and the metal door opened.
The blue owl didn't say much from beginning to end, just nodded in response.
"Come in, your supernatural mentor is waiting for you." Che Zhengchen said with a smile.
"Okay, I hope he won't let me down and can help me master some of his special abilities."
Blue Owl responded casually with a few words, then turned and walked into the door. What he saw was a silver-white metallic space. There was nothing in all directions except silver.
He turned his head and saw the metal door at the entrance slowly closing.
In the gradually closing gap, Che Zhengchen, with his hands behind his back, spoke to him from outside the door.
"I'll be waiting for you guys outside. You guys can have a good chat."
As soon as the words fell, under the confused gaze of Blue Owl, the silver-white metal door closed completely, and a heavy buzzing "bang" was heard, and then the whole world fell silent.
"Let's have a good chat?"
Blue Owl raised his eyebrows and muttered, "This is a bit weird. We can't even see anyone and we're still chatting..."
He slowly turned his head and looked around, only to see that the silver-white metal testing room was still empty. It was so quiet that one could hear a silver needle dropping to the ground, which made one's scalp numb.
"What a hell..."
Blue Owl breathed a sigh of relief.
If he had not seen with his own eyes the anti-dog taking the parasite out of Che Zhengchen's body, he would definitely suspect that Che Zhengchen was controlled by Gastro with the parasite, and that he was locking him up here with some trick to plot against him.
But just as he was thinking this, a gloomy and hoarse voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Turning around..."
That voice said so.
Hearing this, Blue Owl was stunned for two seconds, then slowly turned his head and looked, only to see an incompatible figure standing on the silver-white metal floor in a corner of the test room.
His whole body was covered in a pitch-black cloak, the bird's beak on the mask extended forward like a blade, and his pupils in his eye sockets were as deep as a lake that could penetrate into people's hearts.
In the last hour, please support me by voting for monthly passes. Let’s get 6000 passes!
And I will ask for monthly tickets at the beginning of tomorrow.
Anyway, just ask for monthly tickets, and support elementary school students as writers. Thank you! ! ! !
