Chapter 240: Wishes, Plans, and Yuriko's Grand Debut

The night wind blowing in from the corridor of the apartment building made Ke Mingye shiver. He hunched his shoulders and put his hands into the pockets of his windproof jacket again.

"By the way, do magical girls really not feel cold?"

As he spoke, he walked into the house.

"No, the comet fragments in the magical girl's body have their own temperature regulation function."

When Bai Zini came in, Ke Mingye said "Oh" and closed the door to block the cold night wind. A warm and noisy atmosphere came to him.

Suddenly a world away.

Ke Mingye let out a sigh of relief, took off his shoes and windproof jacket, and casually hung the jacket on the hook at the entrance.

I walked slowly through the dim entrance hall and glanced at the backs of several people sitting on the sofa.

He stopped there for a moment, then walked to the back of the head covered with white hair that looked so nice to touch, and said lightly, "Happy birthday, classmate Ziling."

After that, Ke Mingye gently placed a small and exquisite gift box on the top of Bai Ziling's head, against her soft white hair. The gift box slid down along her hair, as if it was sliding gently on a snow slope.

Finally, when the box was about to fall, she raised her hand and caught it.

"You came back so late..."

Bai Ziling spoke softly, lowered her eyes to look at the gift box, put it on the sofa, and did not look up at him.

"I'm playing ball with my friends."

Ke Mingye said, shrugging his shoulders slightly, "Uh... I wanted to take a taxi back, but there was a traffic jam on the road. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come back so late. It's pretty unlucky."

"So did we win or lose in the end?"

Ke Yinzhi raised the corner of his mouth slightly and asked casually while tidying up the mess on the table.

"Uh... I guess I win."

Ke Mingye responded casually, sitting cross-legged on the carpet, looking sideways at Yuriko, stroking her fur and saying, "To be precise, the basketball court was occupied before the game was over, and now I still feel a little unsatisfied."

"Wow, doesn't that mean the winner hasn't been decided yet? Classmate Ke Mingye, can you say you won?"

Bai Qiuwu looked at him sideways and asked with some amusement.

"Then let's call it a draw."

Ke Mingye spread his hands and said disapprovingly.

"That's the competitive spirit of adolescent boys."

"Well, whatever you say."

After saying that, Ke Mingye turned his head and looked around, but did not see Ke Youqing.

So he asked, "By the way... where is Dad? Didn't he swear to us this morning that he would be home on time tonight even if he quit his job?"

"Dad just went out. He should be back soon."

Bai Zini said as she walked down the stairs. She had just gone upstairs to find Bai Wenna, who said she would be down soon.

"Why did he go out? To buy cigarettes?" Ke Mingye looked up at her and asked curiously.

"I said I was going to find you, but I blamed you for coming back so late."

As she said that, she sat down on the sofa.

Ke Mingye was slightly startled, then he got up from the carpet, patted the fur on his butt, then sat down next to Bai Zini and asked quietly:
"Then where did you tell Daddy I was?"

He thought to himself: If Dad had nothing else to do and really investigated where I had been, he would immediately find many suspicious points in my whereabouts.

In fact, Ke Mingye doesn't really want his father to know his identity at this stage.

Because for the time being, everything was going well: even without telling Daddy his identity, he had already attracted his attention and obtained his protection.

Therefore, if he told his father his identity, it might have a negative effect: given his father's personality, there is a high probability that he would directly give up the idea of ​​using Ke Mingye as bait to lure out the watch owner.

Then all his plans so far would fail.

He wouldn't allow himself to see this happen, so it was actually a good thing to keep it from his father for the time being.

Of course, he was also very curious. If one day he was really put into a state of suspended animation by the Watchman, what would his father feel when he saw such a face after taking off the Blue Owl mask?

Could it be that Old Deng has turned evil and gone completely crazy?
But if you think about it carefully, it is normal. After all, Che Zhengchen also said that Qingya's mental state is on the verge of collapse.

Thinking of this, Ke Mingye shrugged his shoulders. What happened next was none of his business anyway.

After all, if he could fake his death, he wouldn't have to stay in this family as Ke Mingye anymore, which would be a relief.

At that time, he would leave the Beijing area and complete his mission purely as a player.

By the time they meet the Bo Ke family again, it might be the moment of the final battle: by then, thousands of superhumans will surely die, and they will be one of them.

Maybe, it won't even be Ke Mingye's turn to take action, and he may not even have to meet them again, because they have already died at the hands of other players?

Ke Mingye thought so in his heart, his eyes obscured by his drooping hair.

"What are you thinking about?" Bai Zini glanced at him helplessly, "If my father asks me where you are, I will definitely say that I don't know."

"real or fake?"

Ke Mingye raised his head and met her gaze with some doubt.

Hearing this, Bai Zini said angrily, "Of course it's true, otherwise you would have thought I would betray you to my father?" She paused slightly, opened her mouth, and looked at Ke Mingye in surprise, "Ah! You wouldn't have secretly betrayed me to your family, otherwise why are you so cautious?"

Ke Mingye said calmly: "I, Ke Mingye, keep my mouth shut, keep my word, and always be honest."

While the two were talking, Ke Youqing pushed open the door and walked in from the entrance, holding a bunch of car keys in his hand.

He turned his gaze to look at Ke Mingye and said calmly, "Don't let others wait for you so long next time. Don't just think about having fun by yourself. Family is also important."

"Okay, Dad."

As Ke Mingye said this he rolled his eyes, thinking to himself you, a horrible Crow man, have been playing missing every day for the past decade, how dare you say this to me?

At this moment, Yuriko meowed a few times, broke free from his hand, turned her head and bit his index finger, then ran away.

Ke Mingye shook his right hand and looked at it helplessly, thinking to himself, you cat is really cruel. Fortunately, I am a superhuman, otherwise my fingers would have been bitten in the past.

He used the remote control to turn on the TV and could see the latest news by tuning to any channel. The Dice Monster disguised himself as a crow and sneaked into the association.

Obviously, people are very angry now. On the one hand, they complain that the security system of the Super Hero Association is too weak, which allows a super villain to sneak into the building so easily. On the other hand, they criticize Qing Ya, saying that this kind of inferior hero should have died long ago, and it was all his fault that the Dice Monster had the opportunity to take advantage of them.

Of course, with the ability of the Super Hero Association to fool the public that it has developed through being in the midst of public opinion storms many times over the years, I believe that after the public relations department takes action, everyone will soon put this matter behind them, just like the previous incident when the Dice Monster kidnapped Che Zhengchen, which only maintained its popularity for half a month at most, and then was submerged in the tide of history.

Ke Mingye stared at the strange, smug creature on the TV screen, wondering if he had unconsciously taught other super villains a way: disguise as a crow and fly into the association building.

But on second thought, the association will be more vigilant about this in the future, and this situation will not happen a second time.

And only he can play like this, after all, among all the villains, only he can accurately grasp the movements of the Blue Crow. If other villains dare to play like this, if they encounter a real "Blue Crow" while infiltrating the association, they will be doomed. It is hard to imagine how they will be treated by Ke Youqing.

"Brother, can you please stop looking at this unlucky guy?" Bai Zini was looking at the dice monster with his hands on his hips on the TV, and was furious. "Give me the remote control."

"Okay, okay, it's your birthday tonight, you have the final say."

Ke Yongzhu used her mobile phone to send a QQ message to a female classmate, and retorted with a disdainful tone: "It's as if she doesn't have the highest status in the family just because she doesn't celebrate her birthday."

Hearing this, Bai Zini turned her head away and said coldly, "Ha, elementary school student, do you want to be beaten? Tomorrow I will ask my mother to send you to the zoo to learn quality education."

"Oh, that's what I want." Ke Yongzhu said calmly. Ke Mingye secretly smacked his lips, thinking that he should not send this guy to the zoo, it would be a reward for him to have a feast, but he should not harm the innocent animals.

Bai Zini said, "Forget it. With your ugly appearance, it's good that you don't scare passers-by to death. No one will feed you bananas. If you are locked up in a zoo, you will probably starve to death."

"I'm not a monkey." Ke Yongzhu muttered quietly, "A zoo is a high-end buffet for dragons, isn't it? How could I starve to death?"

Ke Mingye looked up and saw Ke Yinzhi and Bai Qiuwu taking out the birthday cake from the refrigerator in the kitchen. "Is there only one cake this time?"

Originally these chores were done by the second brother, but after he passed away, the chores were assigned to the not-so-diligent eldest brother and the very diligent eldest sister.

"Don't Xiao Ling and I always have one cake for our birthdays?"

Ke Mingye scratched his nose and said, "I'm really curious, why didn't you quarrel over this when you were kids?"

"Because we are of one mind." Bai Zini said, moving closer and rubbing her cheek against Bai Ziling's fair shoulder, "Don't you agree, Xiaoling?"

"Ah."

Bai Ziling nodded gently, her snow-white hair swaying gently.

Ke Mingye shrugged: "Okay, okay, you two have a good relationship. I am ashamed of myself."

As he spoke, he walked to the window and closed it, immediately blocking out the cold evening breeze.

He thought that this bad weather was terrible. It was so hot in the morning and afternoon that he felt like he could be made into a roast suckling pig, but it was so cold at night that it felt like winter had come. Fortunately, before he left in the afternoon, Bai Qiuwu stuffed him a windproof jacket.

Of course, it could also be because he had just experienced the ability of the A-class hero “General Winter” up close, and subconsciously felt that the chill that was blowing in his face had not yet passed, so he felt that this night was extremely cold and bleak.

Ke Mingye rubbed his shoulders, shuddered, and turned to look at the exquisite little gift box in Bai Ziling's hand.

She lowered her red eyes and touched the surface of the gift box with her fingers, as if she cared a lot about what was inside.

He withdrew his gaze and sighed secretly. It was difficult for him to tell her: In fact, this was a blind gift box that he had picked up from the window of a random gift shop on the way home while swinging on the spider silk.

He was even in a hurry to get on the road and didn't know what was in the box.

After a while, before they even started eating the cake, Bai Zini and Bai Ziling had already discussed it and couldn't help but open the gift boxes.

There were two boxes, one containing Mario and the other containing Pikachu. The two looked at each other and whispered something, then looked at Ke Mingye with a smile on their faces.

Ke Mingye avoided their gazes and breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the two sisters were both fans of Nintendo and often played "Super Smash Bros." on Switch. This could be considered as catering to their interests by accident.

Not long after, Ke Yinzhi casually turned off the lights in the living room.

With a "pop", the whole world went dark.

Bai Zini and Bai Ziling sat on the sofa and made wishes to the birthday cake with candles on it.

In the darkness, Ke Mingye played with his phone and reluctantly sang two lines of the birthday song. Faintly, he seemed to hear them whispering wishes. After making a wish, someone raised her head slightly from the cake and glanced at him secretly. The girl raised her eyes and then lowered them. The world seemed to light up and then darken, with only a little candlelight swaying.

It was late at night. After washing up, Ke Mingye lay down on the bed. He closed his heavy eyelids and suddenly felt comfortable all over.

After a while, he heard a message alert sound, so he opened his eyes and glanced at the upper right corner of his vision, only to see a bubble suddenly pop up on the friend list icon.

Lift your finger to pop the bubble, and an information panel with a black background will appear.

[Anti-Dog: I have prepared the dog suit you requested. I have asked Paranoia to put it in the locker at the train station in the old Jingmai district.]

When Ke Mingye saw the text message, he remembered that Pianjuan was living in the Internet cafe downstairs from his house, so he got up from the bed, walked to the bedside, and stuck his head out to look downstairs.

I saw Pianqi standing alone in front of the Internet cafe, smoking, with his shoulders folded, looking around from time to time like an undercover agent, with a wicked smile on his face.

Then, amid the yelling of the Internet cafe owner, he quickly put out his cigarette and returned to the Internet cafe.

Ke Mingye's eyes went dark again, and he thought to himself that he should have forgotten about this person, otherwise he would easily get high blood pressure.

He moved the chat panel, typed, and sent a message to Anti-Dog.

[Failed Man: No, buddy, you can ask anyone to do something, but don’t ask Paranoia to do it, okay? What if he is caught while delivering the uniform to my train station? ]

[Anti-dog: Others are just pretending, so they will reveal their flaws. He is really stupid, so he won't reveal his flaws. The best acting skill is to have no acting skills. It's safe for him to stay near your house. Over.]

[Failed Man: You are also invincible. ]

[Anti-Dog: Come to the video game store tomorrow afternoon, play a copy, and chat about the arrangements for the Madhouse Project.]

[Failed Man: Okay, by the way, I got some information earlier, saying that the eldest son of the Amemiya family, Amemiya Ying, is also staying in Bedram Asylum. ]

[Anti-dog: It doesn't have much of an impact. There are many ruthless people in Bedlam Asylum, but most of them have been injected with gene inhibitors and ability inhibitors, and are no different from ordinary people. ]

[Anti-Dog: Even if there really is a troublesome person, we can just avoid him. ]

[Failed Man: Okay, I'll go to sleep then. ]

After sending the message, Ke Mingye yawned and lay down on the bed.

Once my eyelids closed, the whole night passed in silence.

next morning.

Ke Mingye opened his eyes, got out of bed with a sleepy look on his face, and after washing up, he came to Yuriko who was sleeping soundly in the corridor on the second floor, and picked her up without saying a word.

Then, amid its cursing voice, he walked out of the door and walked to the train station on Laojingmai Street.

Ke Mingye stopped at Platform 7, opened the locker in the corner, and soon found a plastic box inside. He opened the box and saw a set of exquisite pet combat uniforms. The red and blue color combination was authentic.

"Here, this is your dog suit." He activated the E-level skill - "Animal Communication", lowered his head, and said to Yuriko in his arms.

"Go to hell." Yuriko narrowed her sharp eyes.

"Five cans."

"Wang Wang Wang!"

The black cat in his arms cried out, and very consciously jumped out from between Ke Mingye's arms, bit the combat uniform in the locker, lifted the clothes and dropped them to the ground, then drilled into the wide cuffs of the clothes as if it was drilling into a cave.

After it put on the combat suit, Ke Mingye squatted down and helped it press the button of the combat suit. The loose combat suit quickly shrank and locked its body.

"Here, there's your hood..."

As Ke Mingye spoke, he put the dog helmet that was separated from the combat uniform onto the black cat's head.

The black cat put on the helmet and opened his eyes from behind the lenses in the eye sockets - of course, it only had a pair of eyes exposed on its entire body, and they were difficult to see clearly.

In this way, a dog wearing a red and blue combat uniform was born.

Ke Mingye actually didn't want to tell his family that "Yuriko is actually a magical animal that can copy superpowers", so he thought of a solution: couldn't his contracted beast transform into a "puppy"? So he could just say that his good comrade-in-arms is actually a magical contracted beast.

And in order to create an alibi for Yuriko, there is a way to achieve this: first let the trick puppet use the animal transformation belt to turn into a puppy, and then let it use its own ability to change into Yuriko's appearance and stay at home - of course, if you really want to do this, you have to hide from Bai Qiuwu, so as not to be discovered by her sharp eyes.

Now even Yuriko has joined the ranks of double agents. The Bo Ke family is really thriving...

Ke Mingye thought in his heart and said:

"Follow me and debut tonight, Yuriko. I've already thought of your stage name."

"What's the name?" Yuriko asked warily.

"Lightning, lightning, dog."

Ke Mingye spoke in a deep tone, emphasizing each word.
