Superman Termination Manual

Chapter 15: Chapter 010 Enemies on a Narrow Road



June 18th, night, inside a duplex apartment.

Ke Mingye rested his arms on the railing of the second-floor staircase, leaning forward slightly. While staring at his phone, he kept an eye on his second brother and younger brother as they entered through the door.

At this moment, Ke Xiaomo, with his arm around Ke Yongzhu's shoulder, walked into the living room. Simultaneously, in Ke Mingye's eyes, their information panels emerged above their heads.

[Name: Ke Xiaomo]

[Age: 20]

[Gender: Male]

[Strength: A+ (Possessing top-tier combat power far surpassing 90% of the world's superhumans)]

[Hidden Identity: Ninja of the Shadow Heir Ninja Sect and also "The Big Disciple of the 27th Sect Master".]

A ninja, my second brother?

So, was his insistence on going to college in Xi'an because it was closer to Shadow Sail Mountain? The entire family was trying to persuade him to change his college preference, but he wouldn't listen to a single word.

Seeing this, Ke Mingye let out a sigh of relief. "Ninja" didn't seem too dangerous. They probably still belonged to a law-abiding and righteous faction.

If the family had someone like a serial killer music enthusiast, then he would have to worry about his own safety.

[Note 1: When a ninja is nearby, always be careful of the shadows around you, as they could appear from them at any moment.]

[Note 2: The "Shadow Heir Ninja Sect" and "Disaster Dragon Clan" are hereditary arch-enemies whose war has lasted for hundreds of years. While the "Disaster Dragon Clan" has now disappeared, the "Shadow Heir Ninja Sect" still believes the descendants of "Disaster Dragons" possibly remain alive in the world. Therefore, the primary objective of the Ninja Sect is to find all the "Disaster Dragon Offspring" in the world and eradicate them completely.]

[Note 3: The base of the "Shadow Heir Ninja Sect" is located at Shadow Sail Mountain.]

"So, this Ninja Sect and Disaster Dragons are arch-enemies?"

"Arch… arch-enemies?"

While thinking about this, Ke Mingye's brain froze for a second, wondering if he was seeing things, "But isn't this guy hugging a Disaster Dragon Offspring right now?"

He glanced again at Ke Xiaomo's panel description, and at Ke Yongzhu next to him.

[Name: Ke Yongzhu]

[Age: 10]

[Gender: Male]

[Strength: A+ (Possessing top-tier combat power far surpassing 90% of the world's superhumans)]

[Hidden Identity: A juvenile form of the Disaster Dragon Offspring.]

As Ke Mingye grasped what was going on, his mouth almost formed an "O" shape in astonishment.

In his eyes, Ke Xiaomo's gesture of hugging Ke Yongzhu turned horrific and glaring, as if beholding something as eldritch as The God Cthulhu.

Despite his restraint, Ke Mingye couldn't help the twitch at the corner of his mouth, his eyelids constantly twitching.

He thought to himself, Second brother, can you open your eyes and see what you're hugging? So the age-old enemies are just buddy-buddy with each other?

Tell me, are you a double agent in the Ninja Sect, or just one of its liberal leftists?

Despite struggling to suppress his snarky remarks, Ke Mingye knew that these two were probably unaware of each other's identities, which was why such an absurd situation had arisen.

Retreating a ten thousand steps back, Ke Yongzhu might not even know what the Ninja Sect is. From his birth, he was abandoned in the streets in human form and then adopted by a nearby orphanage institution. It might have been during his growth that he gradually became aware of the peculiarities inherent within himself.

Fortunately, his mentality matured faster than ordinary people's, allowing him to hide the fact that he was actually a dragon both in the orphanage and in this family.

As an orphan, he hadn't been schooled by a dragon on how to avoid risks, nor would he be told that the "Shadow Heir Ninja Sect" was the greatest nemesis of their disaster-stricken Dragon Clan.

Therefore, Ke Yongzhu was mostly unaware that there was a large group of people in the world, scheming to find him and then slaughter him thoroughly.

Compared to these, Ke Mingye admired the alien mother even more, thinking it kind of twisted that she managed to bring together a pair of generational enemies.

On his first day arriving at this place, he couldn't figure out how his mother could have given birth to so many children with vastly different abilities and origins.

First of all, he and Ke Yongzhu were adopted, so there were no blood relation concerns.

The predecessor of this body, "Ke Mingye," was an ordinary person; this point was unquestionable, as the traversing Ke Mingye retained all the memories from before;

Ke Yongzhu was different. Bai Wenna probably targeted him for his "disaster dragon" identity and picked him up from the orphanage to bring him home.

Let's rule out those two first.

Then, among the other five biological siblings in the house—The eldest brother "Ke Yinzhi" was still at university and had not returned home, so his true identity was not known;

The second brother "Ke Xiaomo" was a Ninja;

The sister "Bai Qiuwu" was a Divine Communicator;

The eldest sister "Bai Zini" was a Magic Girl;

The second sister "Bai Ziling" was a vampire.

In such a small family, the emergence of such a complex ecological situation surely couldn't be blamed on their father Ke Youqing. He was simply a Superpower User, without such a muddled array of genes.

So no matter how one thought about it, the problem definitely lay with the mother, an alien spy sneaked onto Earth.

If Ke Mingye wasn't wrong, Bai Wenna must have meddled with her own reproductive system and used Ke Youqing's genes along with other special genes collected on Earth to perform various breeding experiments, resulting in a series of children with disparate bloodline and clan backgrounds.

Thinking of it this way made sense. But what was the meaning behind her actions?

About this question, Ke Mingye had only one guess in his mind, and he believed that the accuracy of this guess should be 100%.

In order to provide the necessary preliminary investigation details for an attack on Earth by her home planet, Bai Wenna's main task was likely to thoroughly collect detailed information on the various superhuman types on Earth.

Otherwise, there was no need for her to have spent so much effort secretly infiltrating Earth for so long.

To achieve this goal, she needed to place children with different superhuman characteristics close by to observe, and she had surely stealthily guided these children to use their own methods at home to conceal their abilities, to prevent their father from finding out.

Thinking about it, Ke Youqing was the biggest unfortunate soul in the household.

He had been active as the super-hero "Qing Ya" since he was seventeen, and for the past thirty years, he had helped the authorities solve countless large and small superhuman criminal cases. In recent years, through a series of ruthless measures, he had managed to reduce the crime rate in Huanjing to an unprecedented level.

Yet, he had never imagined that the greatest threat to the nation and people he protected could stem from his own unguarded family.

It was simply tragically inhumane.

So... what was the meaning behind Bai Wenna adopting me, an ordinary person?

That was Ke Mingye's greatest curiosity.

Perhaps Bai Wenna also needed a normal human child as a reference point for her other superhuman-type siblings, but with so many ordinary people on Earth, was it necessary to personally adopt one?
