Chapter 56 Monster Family
Ke Xiaomo frowned slightly, then looked up into the sky, only to see that the thick spider silk that bound the message scroll came from a residential building adjacent to the alley.

At this moment, a strange figure was sitting on the railing of the rooftop.

It was slightly bent over, shaking its slender legs, its skin flowing with a grayish color like liquid, and its mouth was raised high to the sides, almost reaching its ears.

"Hey, my friend, what were you talking to yourself about just now? I'm very interested."

As he spoke, the trickster puppet pulled up the scroll that was stuck with spider silk, held it in his palm, flipped it open, and looked down.

"Well, the dragon of disaster has been found... How interesting! Why are ninjas and dragons hostile forces? They are two completely unrelated things. Oh, speaking of which, this reminds me of a game called Ninja Gaiden."

Ke Xiaomo observed him calmly, as if judging the enemy's strength.

"By the way, why don't you hold on to the scroll and just give it to me?"

The puppet paused, "Or... you've already planned to kill me to silence me, so you don't care?"

Before he finished his words, Ke Xiaomo had already transformed into a ball of shadow and disappeared into the ground, moving across the walls of residential buildings like a snake running in the jungle, passing through the glass that reflected the morning light.

In less than a second, the weasel-like oval shadow had shot to the ground on the rooftop.

Ke Xiaomo leaned out from the shadows, grabbed the puppet from behind, and pulled out a dagger from his sleeve, pressing it against the front of the puppet's neck.

The dagger was covered with a layer of floating faint shadow, which was eroding the neck of the puppet.

"Who are you?"

He leaned close to the puppet's ear and whispered almost word by word.

"It doesn't matter who I am, but there may be a time when you will need me. In half a month, your family will be in danger. Which side will you stand on then, the side of the dragon or the side of the ninja?"

The puppet spoke calmly, playing with the scroll in his right hand, sometimes opening it and sometimes closing it.

"A bunch of nonsense."

As Ke Xiaomo spoke, the cold dagger moved closer and cut a notch on the puppet's neck.

"How about we become friends, and then I'll come and help you protect your family."

The puppet raised three fingers and continued to speak calmly, "You know, I have a wide network of contacts. Characters like Blue Crow, Black Goku, Magical Girl Ash, etc. are all my friends. Maybe I can ask them to come and help you?"

"If you think I'd waste my time with a psychopath, you're wrong."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ke Xiaomo raised his dagger and chopped off the puppet's head.

He thought that this would end the farce, but when he looked down, he saw that the puppet's head had fallen to the ground and rolled twice, still chirping to itself.

"Hey, why are all of you so uncultured? You chop off hands and heads all the time. You can tell at a glance that you are all fans of Qing Ya. None of you are mentally healthy."

Ke Xiaomo watched this scene and whispered, "You are not human."

"Of course I'm not human. My name is 'Weird Thing'. Please give me your guidance."

As the puppet spoke, it suddenly started laughing crazily, and its voice became faster and faster.

"You will understand me soon, Mr. Ninja. I am only reminding you out of kindness... Perhaps when you face that choice, all your cognitions will collapse in an instant... Your heart, which you thought you had trained to be indestructible, will also be torn into thousands of pieces in just a few seconds. In the end, even if you bend down and kneel on the ground in a desperate situation, you will not be able to piece it together again."

"As the name suggests... a weird thing." Ke Xiaomo frowned and said sarcastically. At this moment, a shout came from the alley and the voice fell clearly into his ears.

"Brother, are you done yet? Why does it take you so long to go to the bathroom?!"

"Your brother is waiting for you, do you still want to get entangled with me?" the puppet asked in a low voice.

Ke Xiaomo ignored the puppet's words, took two steps forward, retracted the dagger, closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

The next moment, the puppet's body and head gradually sank into the shadow cast on the ground, as if being sucked into a layer of gray swamp.

"I say, what are you doing? This shadow is going to eat me up."

The puppet's head sank deeper and deeper into the shadow, as if it had been eaten. It stared down at the shadow and said in a surprised tone, "This is not fun at all."

Ke Xiaomo did not respond, but turned into a weasel-like shadow and leaned against the wall, quickly shuttling into the public toilet, and finally emerged from the shadow of one of the cubicles.

He flushed the toilet casually and walked out slowly amid the rumbling sound of the water.

At the same time, the puppet's body and head were completely swallowed up by the shadow on the rooftop and disappeared without a trace, as if they had never existed.

"This is such a cruel move. The trickster puppet was directly swallowed by the shadow?"

At this moment, the second perspective in Ke Mingye's mind disappeared, indicating that the puppet was completely dead.

He thought to himself: "With this method of killing people and collecting corpses, I guess no one can find where the body is. No wonder he is an A+ rank ninja. My second brother should be the top fighter in the Ninja Sect..."

Ke Mingye recalled that according to the information in the scroll, on July 7, two weeks later, the Kageji Ninja Clan would launch a siege operation against Ke Yongzhu.

Moreover, they did not mention the human identity of the Dragon of Disaster in the scroll, as if they were deliberately hiding it from Ke Xiaomo.

They probably thought that when Ke Xiaomo found out that the Dragon of Disaster was actually his family member, even if he turned against them, it would be more than enough for him and Ke Yongzhu to gather the power of the entire Ninja Clan to fight against them.

Ke Mingye also had no idea what choice Ke Xiaomo would make when he learned that the last disaster dragon was his younger brother.

At least he only knew that killing Ke Yongzhu was far from as easy as the Ninja Sect leader thought.

Thinking of this, Ke Mingye couldn't help but sneer, thinking that what you are facing is not just a dragon, but a whole family of monsters...
