Chapter 27 One step away
[Tip: The "Fraud Doll" has been destroyed. It will take another 10 minutes to release the doll again.]
Ke Mingye rubbed the Tianming acupoint and breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that if this thing didn't disappear, my brain would be overloaded.
When he opened his eyes again from the sofa, the only thing that came into his mind was a picture, and he suddenly felt that the world had become much quieter.
It is not easy to control two bodies at the same time, especially when the hearing and vision on both sides are intertwined. The load on the brain is almost the same as a severe schizophrenia attack, which is enough to cause mental disorder over time.
Ke Mingye sat on the sofa for a while and looked up at the clock on the wall. It was 6:25 in the evening. It was already dark and the birthday party at home had already ended.
After dinner, everyone except the second brother stayed in the room, everyone else went out for a walk, and the house was very quiet.
Ke Mingye had nothing else to do, so he watched TV with Bai Qiuwu and Bai Zini for a while. He picked up the remote control and pressed the number button to switch to the news TV station.
On the fairly large screen, the host played a blurred video and introduced the video as it progressed:
"Last night, the two vigilantes, 'God of War Black Goku' and 'Magical Girl Ashes', assisted the hero 'Blue Crow' in arresting the gangster 'God of War Ghost Tree' who appeared in the center of Huanjing City and was causing chaos. The Superhero Association highly recognized the heroic actions of the two superhuman vigilantes and promised that if they were willing to join the association, they would be treated well.
"The mayor of Huanjing City also personally came forward in a media interview, calling on the vigilantes to register their information with the Super Hero Association as soon as possible, become a member of the superhero, and maintain public order with a legal identity."
Did you hear that? I'm talking about you two, you put on masks and run out every day, not caring whether it is legal or not... Ke Mingye thought as he glanced at Bai Qiuwu and Bai Zini sitting on the sofa.
Bai Qiuwu was seen playing with his phone calmly, looking as if it had nothing to do with him, showing full qualities of an actor;
On the other hand, Bai Zini, while playing with her phone, carefully moved her butt on the sofa, sat a little closer to Ke Mingye, and asked in a casual tone:
"Brother, do you think this magical girl on the news is pretty? She has a kind of fresh and unworldly beauty?"
After hearing what she said, Ke Mingye looked up at the photo of the magical girl Ashes on the news and tilted his head.
“It’s not a good comment,” he said.
"What does it mean to give a bad review?" Bai Zini asked.
"Uh...it's just so-so." He said reluctantly.
Bai Zini opened her mouth wide, but seemed to be about to say something. After a while, she organized her words, clapped her hands gently and said, "Take a closer look. Is she really just average? I think she's the prettiest of all the magical girls who debuted recently."
After saying that, she seemed a little unconvinced and continued to ramble on, "Besides, many of my classmates are her fans! Some even said that she and I look a bit alike. Brother, what do you think?"
"Oh my god, if she really looks like you, then she is so unlucky. She is unlucky for the rest of her life, okay?"
Ke Mingye joked nonchalantly and lowered his head to continue looking at his phone.
"You!" Bai Zini was so angry that she couldn't speak. She just glared at him, wrinkled her nose fiercely, and ignored him.
She turned her head and looked at Bai Qiuwu, and asked, "Sister, what do you think? Isn't this magical girl much prettier than the monkey next to her who's dressed in black?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Qiuwu tilted his head and looked up at the three photos released on the news - full-body photos of "Blue Crow", "Black Goku" and "Ashes".
"Hmm...but aren't those three people in the news all dressed in black?"
She pinched her chin, raised the corners of her mouth, and teased seriously.
Bai Zini was about to refute, but after taking a look at the three photos, she could only curl her lips.
“It is,” she said.
Ke Mingye chuckled twice, thinking that was right. He couldn't understand why this family preferred dark-colored uniforms. It must be the ancestral aesthetic. As early as the first time he checked the photos online, he couldn't help but complain - Bai Qiuwu's uniform was silver and black; Bai Zini's "magic dress" was gray with black; Dad Ke Youqing's uniform was even more exaggerated. Except for the green color of the bird's beak on the mask, it was completely black. At night, you couldn't see anyone.
It is possible that the three people's ideas just happened to coincide. Since they mostly appear at night, they designed their combat uniforms to be darker to make it easier to hide their bodies.
"Anyway, I really don't understand why this monkey has fans..."
Baizini muttered to herself, picked up her phone and glanced at the message, "I left something at school, I'll leave first, bye." After saying that, she got up from the sofa, turned around and walked towards the entrance.
"Your junior high school is on summer vacation. Shouldn't the school be closed now?" Ke Mingye asked.
Bai Zini's voice came from the entrance: "Don't mind the affairs of beautiful girls."
"I'm sorry, Princess. How about I kowtow to you twice to calm you down?"
Ke Mingye spoke in a sarcastic tone, but he was still very curious about what was going on with Bai Zini.
Because five minutes ago, Ke Youqing said he was going to meet a colleague tonight, put on his coat and walked out with a cigarette in his mouth, but Ke Mingye didn't dare to follow him;
Not long after that, Baizini also said that she had left something at school, and if she didn't go back to get it, the school would lock the door, so she ran out. Maybe they were dealing with the same thing.
There aren't any criminals around right now, right? Ke Mingye checked the trending searches on Weibo and confirmed that nothing had happened yet.
"Second brother!" He suddenly shouted upstairs.
"What's wrong, Akeno?"
When Ke Xiaomo heard his call, she slowly walked down from the second floor while asking.
"My sister said she has to go back to school to get something. How about you drive her there in your electric car?" Ke Mingye said as he got up from the sofa and walked towards the second floor, passing by Ke Xiaomo.
"Sure." Ke Xiaomo stopped on the stairs and looked at Bai Zini who was putting on shoes at the door. "Let me put on a coat. Wait for me?"
"No need, I can just take the bus."
Bai Zini put on her shoes and glared at Ke Mingye's back.
While the two were talking, Ke Mingye quickly returned to his room. While his second brother Ke Xiaomo was still on the first floor, he locked the door, opened the window, and used the "Trickster Doll" again, making the doll appear outside the window.
[Successfully released the skill "Deception Doll". The release of this skill will consume 20% of your physical strength. Your physical strength is currently 80% left. ]
[The current maximum number of fraud puppets is 1; the maximum existence time is 3 hours; each puppet release must be one hour after the previous puppet disappears. If you actively destroy the puppet, the interval can be reduced to 10 minutes. ]
At this moment, the puppet was still gray, grinning, and looked quite strange. But Ke Mingye didn't have time to change its appearance, so he let it jump off the windowsill, and then rolled onto the roof of the residential building next door. Because of its light weight, and the rolling cushioned the impact of the landing, it was unharmed.
At the same time, another picture appeared in Ke Mingye's mind, which was the perspective of the deception puppet.
He closed the window, turned around and lay down on the bed, thinking: "Let's give it a try and see if I can catch up with her speed."
Ke Mingye took out his phone and casually opened a video app. His fingers were moving unconsciously on the screen, but his brain was controlling the actions of the fraud puppet.
He ordered the puppet to lie on the railing of the building next door and look down at the block with full concentration. Soon, Bai Zini walked out from the first floor of the duplex apartment and entered the puppet's field of vision.
"Here it comes." Ke Mingye thought.
