Superman's Ending Manual
Chapter 12 Everyone has their own concerns
On June 18, at night, Huanjing City, Gu Jiusi was drinking and thinking about the coast, in an old lighthouse at the corner of the coast.
The diviner Black Wukong stood on the observation deck, silently looking at the distant horizon. After a long time, he slowly took off the mask covering his face and took off the silver-white windbreaker made of metal.
Like a goldfish coming out of the water to breathe, Bai Qiuwu closed her eyes and took a deep breath. When she opened her eyes again, her pupils were still as bright as a burning fire.
She took off the hood on her head, and the long hair tied behind her head fell down.
Then she raised her right hand and stroked her eyes. Soon, the red in her pupils was like a tiny flame, swaying and extinguishing, leaving only darkness.
Bai Qiuwu lowered her eyes, and after a long time, the burning sensation from her eyes eased. She let out a long sigh, raised her face, and remained silent for a while facing the outside of the exhibition stand.
Under the moonlight, waves of sparkling tides hit the coast back and forth, constantly breaking into white water splashes, making a rustling sound.
"It's her..."
In the empty exhibition room, she murmured softly.
One of the abilities brought by the divine path "Sun Wukong" is "Fire Eyes and Golden Pupils", which enables her to see through all "illusions" and "false images".
Perhaps the Fire Eyes and Golden Pupils cannot see through and cannot see who is behind a mask, but when she casts her eyes on a person who has changed his original appearance with some illusion or magic, she can definitely see his original appearance.
So through these eyes, Bai Qiuwu saw the true appearance of the magic girl Ashes at a glance.
It was an extremely familiar face.
A face that she had seen since childhood, a face that had been imprinted in her memory for more than ten years, a face that was constantly growing but still intimate.
She knew what this face looked like when she was a child, and she had seen it crying and acting like a spoiled child, but she had never seen it look cold towards her.
"Xiao Ni, why is it you..."
Bai Qiuwu hugged her shoulders, her eyes moving, and she murmured softly.
"Besides me, does anyone else in the family know her identity?"
She shook her head.
"No, I should be the only one who knows."
"Then should I tell my parents about this?"
"No, that would easily expose my own identity, but if I let her go on like this, it would easily cause trouble."
Bai Qiuwu tilted her head slightly, her fingers running across her chin, and she kept thinking in her heart.
Bai Zini's words "sister" seemed to still echo in her ears, and compared with the cold face of the magic girl Huijin, Bai Qiuwu was a little at a loss.
She didn't understand why Bai Zini became a magic girl quietly without anyone knowing at home.
It happened too suddenly, catching her off guard.
In fact, when Bai Qiuwu met this so-called "Magic Girl Ashes" last time, he had already seen through her with his fiery eyes that she was Bai Zini.
At that time, Bai Zini was fighting with a criminal. In order to prevent her from getting hurt, Bai Qiuwu almost subconsciously summoned the somersault cloud and forcibly dragged her out of the battlefield.
However, what she didn't expect was that Bai Zini would hate her for so long because of what she did subconsciously, and even came to her door on purpose this time.
Maybe in Bai Zini's eyes, this so-called "Black Goku" was just looking for trouble. She was fighting well, and suddenly she was taken away by a cloud ten thousand miles away. Who wouldn't be angry?
Now Bai Qiuwu recalled that she was not regarded as Bai Zini, but as the Magic Girl Ashes. It was indeed more than enough for her to deal with that criminal with her strength.
But when I first met her, I couldn't help but think of her as that fragile little girl, so I subconsciously wanted to get her out of danger, so I did it in vain...
If it weren't for this, Bai Zini wouldn't have resented her and chased after her every day.
"Forget it, I have to go home first."
Bai Qiuwu shook his head gently, and no longer speculated on Bai Zini's thoughts, but put on the sports jacket on the table and put on a baseball cap.
After stopping for a while at the bus stop on the Coast Highway, I took the last bus and leaned against the window to look at the brightly lit city. Everything was so hazy, like a mirage.
Soon, the bus got off at the station on Laojingmai Street.
As soon as she got off the bus, she saw a familiar figure next to the station.
Ke Youqing, who hadn't returned home yet, was sitting on a public bench next to the supermarket, with a cigarette in his mouth, a pack of Zhonghua in his hand, and a lighter.
Seeing Bai Qiuwu, Ke Youqing didn't say anything, but just sat there calmly and winked at his daughter.
"Dad, have you been smoking here for an hour?" Bai Qiuwu asked him with a smile, hugging his shoulders.
"No, I went for a walk after buying cigarettes."
As he spoke, Ke Youqing lowered his head and approached the lighter, lit the cigarette in his mouth with a click, and asked in a muffled voice, "Did you have fun with your friends?"
"It's okay, we just went shopping together and then came back." Bai Qiuwu tilted his head and added, "It's quite boring."
"Then go home, otherwise your mother will be angry again."
"Yeah."
The two left the supermarket and took the elevator to the ninth floor of the duplex apartment building.
When Ke Youqing opened the door with the key, his eyes passed through the entrance and he could see that the children at home were watching a movie in front of the big TV in the living room.
"Hey, Xiaomo is back too?"
He was holding a cigarette, looking at the tall figure in the living room, with surprise on his face.
Bai Qiuwu was also surprised, thinking that Mingye said that his second brother would be back in two days, how come he came home in a blink of an eye?
Ke Xiaomo heard the voice, turned his head to look at Ke Youqing, and said, "Dad, I have something to do, so I came back early." He glanced at Bai Qiuwu again, "Why are you back so late?"
"I went out to play with my friends." Bai Qiuwu said, "Brother, are you staying here for the whole summer vacation?"
"Yes, I have nothing to do this summer vacation, so I'm at home." Ke Xiaomo said, "But you, you will be a senior in the next semester, are you under a lot of pressure?"
"It's okay, just take it easy." Bai Qiuwu said.
Ke Mingye sat on the sofa, chewing potato chips and saying, "She goes out to play every day, and she doesn't need to review, but she is always in the top ten in the grade. Don't worry about her, second brother."
"What about you?" Ke Xiaomo said, looking at Ke Mingye, "I heard that your grades have dropped a lot recently, don't let it get you into a first-class university."
Ke Mingye laughed, "Then I will definitely learn from you. I got more than 600 points in the exam, but I didn't go to a 985 university. I went to Xi'an to study in an ordinary first-class university. Your parents are almost mad at you."
While saying this, he actually knew that Ke Xiaomo did this in order to find a university closer to Yingfan Mountain, so that it would be convenient for him to contact the Ninja Sect.
Bai Zini poked her head out from the back of the sofa and said loudly, "Dad, help! The TV membership is about to expire, please recharge it quickly!"
"I know, I will recharge it later, and I will watch it first."
Ke Youqing said unhappily, holding a cigarette in his mouth, and walked up to the second floor.
Bai Qiuwu closed the door and kept her eyes on Bai Zini.
She was watching a movie with Bai Ziling, Ke Yongzhu, Ke Xiaomo, and Ke Mingye. It seemed to be the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy. As usual, Bai Zini liked to stick to Ke Mingye the most. Since childhood, the best friends she played with were Bai Ziling and Ke Mingye.
Did Ziling know that Xiaoni was a magical girl? Bai Qiuwu thought, and Mingye, why not talk to them about this, but what if they don't know?
Thinking of this, her eyes stayed on Ke Mingye. Ke Mingye was still the same. While others were watching movies, he lowered his head to play with his mobile phone and yawned once or twice.
Not likely. Bai Qiuwu shook his head.
Ke Xiaomo took a sip of boiled water and turned to look at her: "What are you doing standing at the door? Why don't you come to watch a movie together?"
"You guys watch first, I'll come after I take a shower."
Bai Qiuwu said, took off his sneakers, put on slippers, and walked to the second floor.
"What are you doing? Don't you have to go to school tomorrow?"
Bai Wenna just came down from upstairs, cursing, "A bunch of little bastards, each of them knows how to use your second brother as a shield, thinking that you don't have to sleep because Xiaomo is back?"
Bai Qiuwu brushed past her and said helplessly: "Okay, mom, we are happy that the second brother is back, so what's wrong with going to bed a little later?"
Bai Wenna glared at her: "You still said that, especially you and Mingye, two high school students, you should sleep when you should, don't think that you don't have to study when the summer vacation is about to start!"
Bai Qiuwu smiled and didn't say anything back.
Walking on the stairs, an idea suddenly came to her mind: What would happen if she scanned everyone in the family with her fiery eyes?
Will it be like the look she gave Magic Girl Ashes, as if the whole worldview was overturned?
Thinking of this, she stopped and stood silently in the shadow of the stairs. Turning her head, she glanced at the silhouettes of her family.
It can be seen that Ke Mingye had no interest in watching the movie and wanted to run away, but Bai Zini stopped him and shouted something;
Ke Yongzhu and his second brother Ke Xiaomo talked about their deeds as school bullies; Bai Ziling said nothing, and her red pupils quietly reflected the scenes of the movie.
Although everyone is growing up, everyone is still the same as she remembers.
Like every summer vacation every year so far, everyone gathered in front of the TV, sitting on the sofa, without distinction, without barriers, just sharing joy and laughter.
Although they are in a chaotic era, this is an ordinary and happy family. For Bai Qiuwu, every time she returns home after a fight outside, it is like returning to a quiet harbor.
She does not want to break this status quo.
Thinking of this, Bai Qiuwu silently gave up the idea of discussing the matter of Bai Zini with her parents or other brothers and sisters.
After all, she also kept her own secret. Since she didn't want her identity to be exposed in front of her family, Bai Zini must be the same.
Why bother? Bai Zini is not a child anymore and knows what she is doing.
Just like me two years ago, I got superhuman power and thought I was really omnipotent. I couldn't help but want to do something.
"We are all the same..."
Bai Qiuwu whispered to herself, her eyes stayed on Bai Zini for a second, and then she moved upstairs.
At this time, Ke Mingye, who was sitting on the sofa, glanced at her back silently, and quickly retracted his gaze.
"Look, look, I'm so sleepy..." He said listlessly, his eyelids almost closed.
"No, brother, just watch this one with me before going to bed! The last one will be watched tomorrow." Bai Zini pulled his shoulder again, looking at the TV and trying to persuade him to stay.
Ke Mingye shrugged, thinking that compared to rolling around in front of me, it might be more convincing to put the broken umbrella called "Cinderella" against my neck.
If he hadn't seen Bai Zini's other face, calling her brother when there was something wrong and brother when there was nothing wrong, he might really believe that his sister was just clinging to him.
Maybe Bai Zini was just using him, a Muggle, as a tool to cover up her identity at home.
Thinking about it this way, he is really a tool among tools, a top tool.
"Wait until your sister finishes taking a bath, she will come down to watch it with you, buddy, I'm going to roll first..."
After saying that, Ke Mingye had already stood up from the sofa.
In fact, it's not that he didn't have time to watch a movie with them, but he realized that tonight, his second brother Ke Xiaomo often observed him quietly.
The reason is not clear, but it seems that he is suspicious of him.
But why? Ke Mingye walked on the stairs, thinking: I should not have revealed any flaws, and I have tried my best to act like the original owner of this body.
Could it be that the ninja can read minds and know that his brother has been replaced by me? To be more outrageous, this guy will not regard me as the dragon of disaster...
Please, open your eyes and look, the dragon you are looking for is sitting next to you, it is the sixth grade elementary school student with a face full of beatings, okay?
Ke Mingye's mind was full of questions. He knew that it would be better for him to stay away from Ke Xiaomo for the time being, and he had to be careful when he was alone next time.
According to the system, the ninja seemed to be able to escape into the shadows, so he had to be on guard against the shadows in the room at all times. Maybe his second brother was hiding in the shadows and secretly observing him.
"It's really like a ghost..."
Ke Mingye got goosebumps, silently complained in his heart, stepped onto the second floor, walked into his room in two or three steps, and locked the door.
He supported the back of his neck with one hand, lay down on the bed, and looked at the date on his mobile phone. Today was June 18th. He checked the holiday time of several schools.
Ke Yongzhu's elementary school still had three days of classes before summer vacation;
Bai Ziling and Bai Zini had to go to junior high school for another day;
Ke Mingye and Bai Qiuwu's high school still had two more days of classes before summer vacation;
The second brother's university was already on vacation, and he went home early today;
As for the eldest brother, he might not come back for two days. So far, the eldest brother "Ke Yinzhi" is the only one whose background Ke Mingye is still unclear.
In any case, this summer vacation will definitely be very lively...
Ke Mingye looked at the ceiling with one or two yellow spots left, thinking.
First, he had to find other players in the same city and secretly establish a certain connection with them, so that they could make an appointment to play dungeons together and improve their levels and abilities as soon as possible;
Secondly, he had to ensure that his "player" identity would not be exposed at home, otherwise... anyone at home could chop him up and feed him to pigs.
