Chapter 280 Ultraman and the Monster, the Sleeping Nezha
August 23rd, late at night, in the old Jingmai district.

After saying goodbye to Fanquan at the abandoned train station, Ke Mingye walked back home without looking back. He leaned against a corner of the shoe cabinet to take off his shoes and then walked through the entrance. Hearing the ending song of the cartoon, he looked up from his phone and saw Ke Yongzhu and Bai Ziling sitting on the sofa watching TV leisurely. He couldn't help but sigh that it was good that school hadn't started yet. Who stole my vacation?
Then he sat down among them, picked up the remote control, and acted like a king.

"Elementary school student, school hasn't started yet?" Ke Mingye asked.

"In a few days, I will be a junior high school student..." Ke Yongzhu put a potato chip into his mouth and said while chewing it, "If you keep calling me a primary school student, I will turn into a dragon and take you to the primary school and tie you up at the school gate."

Ke Mingye said: "Oh, it's not easy. She has already graduated from elementary school... Then Bai Zini is the only elementary school student left in our family."

"You are only a primary school student, your whole family is a primary school student." Bai Zini said as she walked out of the bathroom, and then asked: "Brother, have you seen You Minglu? I saw she was not at home just now."

She looked like she was in a bad mood. Ke Mingye glanced at the phone in her hand and immediately understood the reason - from the screen of the phone, there was another tragic message interface similar to that of "suck-up" and "goddess".

The "licker" sent a lot of messages, but the goddess didn't reply at all. However, this time her "goddess" was not Xiziyue, but You Minglu. Bai Zini sent so many QQ messages, but Little Red Riding Hood didn't seem to reply to any of them.

Ke Mingye said: "I didn't see her. Don't worry, she might have been out of habit and gone to find some junk."

"Then call me when she comes back." Baizini said and went upstairs.

Bai Ziling said: "Brother, low quality."

Ke Yongzhu said: "Shark, low quality."

"Hey, why are you all protecting outsiders? Is You Minglu more important or am I more important? I, your brother, am sad."

Ke Mingye sighed. He didn't expect that Little Red Riding Hood had become the main character in just a few days at home. So he put down his schoolbag on the sofa while complaining, and then looked up at the TV.

"Isn't it true that you have very low quality?" Ke Yongzhu asked.

Bai Ziling seemed to have a slight cold. She sniffed her red nose and nodded gently in agreement. Her snow-white hair swayed as she lightly scratched her pale forehead.

Ke Mingye said: "Alas, we little boys who grew up with garbage in our mouths will not have the same qualities as your spoiled little boys."

Ke Yongzhu said disdainfully: "If you're using the wrong formula, then stop trying to imitate others."

"Then why don't you perform one?" Ke Mingye asked.

Ke Yongzhu sneered: "We little boys who grew up with garbage in our mouths can't play with you little boys who grew up with a silver spoon in your mouth."

Hearing these words from an elementary school student is as awkward as hearing them from a blue crow: "Actually, the watch enthusiast and I are good friends. We have been just joking for all these years, and the other people are just part of our fun."

Ke Mingye was dumbfounded, and immediately realized that something was wrong - even a heavyweight like a primary school student was misled by Little Red Riding Hood's tea-flavored speech, so in a few days, when he entered the orphanage classroom in his mind, he would hear Nezha suddenly say something weird like "We little boys who grew up with flaming spears in our mouths and you little boys who grew up with golden spoons in your mouths just can't play together."

After all, the level of spiritual pollution in that classroom was unprecedented. Fortunately, he was the great principal Ke Mingye, who was in charge of all personal teaching rights. Those who didn't want to listen to the weird teacher's lectures would be kicked out and sit at the same table with the crazy guy in the corridor. In this way, they could keep their Taoism hearts stable and not be affected.

But Nezha was different. He was kind enough not to take out his fire spear and skewer everyone else in the classroom.

Can he cure my split personality?

Ke Mingye thought secretly.

At this moment, "Black Jack" had just finished airing on the TV screen, and now an advertisement for a nutritional drink was played. The spokesperson was the new star hero of the Super Hero Association, "Octopus Man" - this guy who was usually sloppy, with messy hair, and dark circles under his eyes as if he only slept two hours a night, was particularly serious during this forced working time. He combed his hair into a shiny back, covered his dark circles with makeup, and spoke the advertisement slogan in a slow and relaxed manner.

The Octopus Man never misses any opportunity to increase his popularity, because he understands that there are too many unknown heroes in this world. If he can have a certain influence, he can make more invisible people visible.

It's like his father who drowned while saving someone.

However, since the battle with Blue Owl was interrupted by Dice Monster, this hero also became famous. The match that day reached an unprecedented peak in viewership because of the arrival of Dice Monster, so many people paid attention to Octopus Man and recognized his strength far beyond that of heroes of the same level;

As for Blue Owl, he was already the most famous new hero thanks to the explosive title of imitating Blue Crow's debut. This game had a positive impact on his overall reputation. In a sense, he was able to gain some traffic from the Octopus Man.

Nowadays, most people around Beijing may have a certain favorable impression of the Octopus Man. After all, this man has a exhausted face like a drug addict, but he never misses any charity activities. He can often be seen appearing in welfare homes and hospitals around Beijing in combat uniform.

He often talks and plays games with orphans in welfare homes and disabled children in hospitals.

Maybe the Octopus Man himself knows how lonely a child without parents is, so the words he said most to the orphans are, "I lost my father when I was young, and my mother divorced and abandoned me and my brother, but we can't give up hope, as long as we are alive and kind, life will definitely get better and better" and so on - this kind of rhetoric looks very fake and official, as if the investors designed the lines carefully in order to shoot the video and help the Octopus Man establish a personality that is easy to make money, but Ke Mingye feels that at least part of the Octopus Man's words come from the heart.

Because the octopus man tried his best just to make his father seen by more people, and to refute his mother's words that his father was irresponsible and lost his life for insignificant outsiders.

That's all, very simple.

Of course, other people’s opinions are their own, but Ke Mingye is different. He gets angry when he sees the octopus man’s face.

If the Octopus Man's brother was not a member of the Watchmaker Alliance, and if getting close to the Octopus Man might give him the latest clues about his brother, then Ke Mingye would not want to have too much contact with this person at all.

Thinking of this, Ke Mingye silently raised his middle finger towards the octopus man's face on the TV.

Bai Ziling said: "Brother, low quality."

Ke Yongzhu said: "My friend, high quality."

The elementary school student seemed to be unhappy with the octopus man, so he raised his middle finger.

Bai Qiuwu had just returned from school. As soon as he passed through the entrance hall, he saw two middle fingers, one big and one small, standing upright in front of the TV, pointing at the octopus man in formal attire on the TV.

Turning around, I saw that Ke Mingye and the elementary school student had very synchronized expressions. Although these two usually fought and quarreled every day, as long as they were in a moment that could show their extremely low-quality charm, they would show this miraculous quality of "brotherhood".

Bai Qiuwu lifted the hair from her forehead, looked at her two younger brothers unhappily, raised her lips and asked, "What are you looking at? Why are you so angry?"

"No more reading, doing summer homework."

Ke Yongzhu said this, put away his middle finger, and stood up from the sofa.

"Can't you just swallow your summer homework into your stomach, or burn it with a breath of fire?" Ke Mingye asked.

Ke Yongzhu raised his middle finger at him and went upstairs without looking back.

"Brother, look at Ultraman." Bai Ziling suddenly pulled the corner of Ke Mingye's clothes.

"Which station?"

"Night Sky TV."

Ke Mingye rolled his eyes. He couldn't understand why any girl would like to watch Ultraman. Bai Ziling was really an outlier.

But I still pressed the remote control and jumped to Night Sky TV.

Bai Qiuwu was feeling a little annoyed at the moment, so he also sat down on the sofa and looked up at the TV. "Ultraman Gaia" was playing on Night Sky TV.

Bai Qiuwu usually doesn't watch special effects dramas. She likes to watch some British and Italian dramas based on history, such as "The Medici Family". But when she was a child, she often sat in front of the TV with Ke Mingye to watch the Ultraman series, so she is familiar with many of the Ultraman names. "Speaking of which, I also met Ultraman today." She suddenly said.

"Ah?" Ke Mingye said, "What Ultraman?"

Bai Qiuwu thought for a moment and said, "At the comic convention, Ultraman, Tiga, and Zero were wearing masks."

"Oh."

Ke Mingye was secretly shocked and thought to himself, sister, why are you talking about this? The Ultraman you are talking about is not Anti-Dog Ultraman and Spider Man Ultraman, right?

Bai Qiuwu asked again: "By the way, have you ever seen any hero in the Super Hero Association who is a spiritual master?"

"Where is it?"

"Like 'Nezha'?"

"What is Nezha?"

Hearing this, Bai Ziling at the side suddenly began to sing: "It's him, it's him, that's him, our young hero Nezha~" Her voice was clear and emotionless, like the sound of a little snowman standing in the snowy forest suddenly falling to the ground with a snap.

Ke Mingye and Bai Qiuwu couldn't help but smile.

"Okay, stop singing." Ke Mingye rubbed her white hair.

"Isn't this singing beautiful?" Bai Qiuwu asked.

"Let's watch Ultraman." Ke Mingye said.

Speaking of Ultraman, Ke Mingye still has a deep impression. When he was a child, he played the role-playing game at home. Usually, the eldest and second brothers played the monsters. Ke Yinzhi volunteered to be the monster. He had a bad taste since he was a child. He liked to jump out of the corner wearing a monster mask to scare people.
The reason why Ke Xiaomo becomes a monster is that he has a gentle personality and is easiest to bully, so he is often forced to wear a monster costume and act the role of a monster.

The monster it plays is completely different from the eldest brother's creature - the eldest brother's monster is the kind in horror movies that can scare people with a startle, while the second brother's monster is the kind in children's cartoons that is silly and cute, with no desire to resist in the face of violence. It can only lie on the ground and act cute and stupid. When being punched and kicked by its younger brothers and sisters, it only lets out two symbolic "ahs", and even its screams are emotionless.

Apart from the two of them, Ke Yongzhu, who was the most difficult to bully, dressed up as Ultraman; only Bai Zini, when she was a child, played this kind of role-playing game at home, and fabricated an identity for herself as a magical girl, and she was faithful to it. Every time Ke Mingye complained, "Why is there a magical girl in Ultraman?", she would say, "Why can't the magical girl fight monsters?"

Of course, no one expected that the eldest brother and the second brother who had always played the role of monsters and got beaten up became Ultraman when they grew up, and Ke Yongzhu, who had always played the role of Ultraman, turned into a monster. During the incident in Vientiane City, Ke Mingye really suspected that if the eldest sister had not stopped him, his eldest brother would have killed the elementary school student who had turned into a dragon.

Except for Baizini.

This girl has been a magical girl since she was young. She played the role of a magical girl in house games and kept muttering that she wanted to become a magical girl. Later, she really became a magical girl in reality.

"You're all back, and you're pretty punctual. It's time to eat." Bai Wenna said as she walked downstairs and into the kitchen. She then asked Bai Qiuwu, "Qiuwu, why did your cram school teacher send me a message saying that you didn't go to cram school on time?"

"There was a traffic jam today, so I was a little late for the cram school." Bai Qiuwu lifted her hair from her forehead and explained embarrassedly.

Are we really not going to fight criminals? Ke Mingye thought.

Just then, there was a knock on the door. Bai Qiuwu got up from the sofa, walked to the entrance and opened the door.

"I'm back." You Minglu said, holding an ice cream in his hand.

After dinner, it was already dark. Ke Mingye returned to his room, locked the door, drew the curtains, and then let Little Red Riding Hood take over his body to help him finish the homework assigned by the school. Then he returned to the orphanage with his consciousness.

When I opened my eyes, I saw the unchanging rosy sky, and the crows were like a black tide flooding over the high setting sun.

Ke Mingye withdrew his gaze from the window and turned back.

He came to find Nezha. To be honest, he was very worried that Nezha would not be able to stay among these psychopaths for even a day, and then this god would have to receive psychological counseling.

When he looked up, he saw Nezha leaning against a desk in a corner of the classroom, sleeping soundly with his lance in his arms. The sunset glow enveloped his face, and the clock in the classroom slowly turned its hands. The boy's face was as delicate as a girl's, especially when he closed his eyes, his cold temperament was less fierce. The evening breeze blew the two tall buns on his head, and the red ribbons fluttered with it.

"Is he taking a nap?" Ke Mingye asked the strange thing wearing glasses from the side, only to see that the strange thing was studying a book titled "How to Get Along with My 100 Personality Students Correctly".

The strange thing raised a finger and shook it gently, then adjusted the glasses on the bridge of its nose like a dog, indicating that it was concentrating on studying and no one was disturbed.

Blue Owl stretched lazily, then hugged his shoulders and smacked his lips as he said, "Nezha said he needed to rest for a while, and he also said that he would wake up after your path to spiritual enlightenment was advanced."

"Huh?" Ke Mingye was puzzled. "So if my sequence doesn't advance, he will have to sleep like this forever?"

"Yes, he said that other ways to communicate with gods are the same." Spider-Man yawned, put his arms behind his head, and looked sideways at the sunset outside the window.

Ke Mingye thought for a moment and asked again, "He said he's waiting for my path to advance, but at what level will he wake up? Level 2, or level 3?"

Blue Owl spread his hands: "I don't know, he just said that, but didn't give an accurate level."

Spider-Man said: "He said 'I'll burst you to death', but in fact he is still suppressing his own strength, trying not to burst your body. How kind of a man."

Ke Mingye sighed, "But if I die, he will die too. He relied on me to escape Li Jing's seal. Now he has abandoned his original body, and only his soul and strength reside in my body. If I can't create another body for him, he will have to stay in my body for the rest of his life."

"To create a body, do you mean the 'mythological carrier' that can be summoned at level six?" asked Blue Owl.

"That's right, we just need to provide him with a mythological carrier." Ke Mingye nodded.

As he spoke, he gently pulled off the human skin tape on his neck, revealing a fiery red emblem on the side of his neck - the emblem was engraved with a long-haired boy riding a wind-fire wheel and wielding a flaming spear.

[Mythology channel name: Nezha]

[Mythology Path Level: Level 1]

[Mythology path has unlocked abilities: 1. Fire Wheels; 2. Fire Spear;]

[The Myth Path will automatically advance. Using the Myth Path's abilities can speed up the advancement. There are still 2 days left before this path advances to level 7. New powers will be unlocked after the advancement.]

"Then let's try how strong the first level of this sequence is tomorrow. I have directly absorbed a mythical figure. Even if Nezha tries his best to restrain his power and not to kill me, he shouldn't be that weak." Ke Mingye thought.

Ke Mingye scratched his forehead and thought, "Before going to bed, let's draw some magic from the head girl. I have to speed up the transformation of Little Red Riding Hood into a witch. Maybe it will be effective when the Witch Night comes."

"Principal, how did our Schnaian offend you?" Kobe raised his wings as if raising his hand, asking a question in class like a primary school student.

Because Little Red Riding Hood was doing homework and had no time to pay attention to it, it fell into a state of depression. Just now, it was lying on the ground and drawing circles out of boredom, like a little boy who had been heartbroken.

"We capitalists are like this." Ke Mingye shrugged.
