Superman Termination Manual - Chapter 385

Chapter 385: Chapter 214 B-Class Skill Library_4

Ke Xiaomo’s flight was scheduled for eight o’clock, so he got up early.

Ke Mingye was the only one who woke up so early in the household, so he saw him out and even hailed him a taxi, thinking to himself that he finally managed to send this troublesome presence away. With him around, I really had to be on edge every day, terrified of making even a small mistake that could damn me.

Soon after watching the yellow taxi Ke Xiaomo was in gradually disappearing into the distance, Ke Mingye, carrying a bag, moved towards a deserted alley and released a puppet.

Ke Mingye gave the bag to the puppet, instructing it to change into the clothes inside, then ordered it to approach the 24-hour Old Beijing Mai Internet Cafe.

He himself started to jog along Old Jingmai Street.

[Failed Man: Buddy, I’ve arrived, where are you?]

[Paranoid: Spider Man, are you really that loyal, coming to visit the internet cafe I work at so early in the morning? You must have been traveling all night without sleep.]

[Paranoid: Lord Paranoid is touched.]

Ke Mingye glanced at the messages and silently positioned the puppet to stand at the entrance of the internet cafe, where the smell of smoke was so strong that not even the dampness of the rain could wash it away.

Looking up, his gaze traveled past rows of computer keyboards and teens addicted to the internet sleeping in their chairs, squinting at the goofy-smiling administrator standing at the reception.

He sighed quietly, thinking if a rebellious elementary student ever decided to surf the internet here, the expression on Paranoid’s face upon seeing the panel above the student’s head would be priceless.

[Failed Man: Where in the internet cafe is the dungeon you mentioned hidden?]

[Paranoid: Booth number 7, come in and give the secret signal, I’ll take you there.]

Ke Mingye instructed the puppet to approach the reception, scan a QR code with the phone, and then let the administrator lead him to booth number 7.

Paranoid, upon hearing this, lowered his employee hat and, like a well-trained spy, covertly met the puppet’s gaze, hooked the corner of his mouth in a slight smile, then picked up the keys, stood up, and led Ke Mingye towards the corner of the internet cafe to booth number 7.

“Why is the booth locked?” Ke Mingye asked.

“To prevent some homeless people from sleeping in the booths.”

With that, Paranoid picked up the key, inserted it into the doorknob’s keyhole, and twisted hard, but the lock did not open. Suddenly realizing something was wrong, he twisted the key again forcefully a few more times, his face turning pale and cold sweat pouring down.

After a while, he stiffly lifted his fingers and opened the panel to communicate.

[Paranoid: Bad news, Spider Man, we might be surrounded.]

[Paranoid: The booth door isn’t opening, I fear…someone has discovered my undercover operation.]

[Failed Man: Not my buddy?]

Ke Mingye was stunned, glancing at Paranoid’s pale face and then around at the numb-faced internet-addicted youth, suddenly feeling that danger was everywhere.

[Paranoid: I’m sorry, Spider Man, you better go…Lord Paranoid will take responsibility for his own mistake… The task to annihilate the superhumans is up to you guys now.]

The next moment, the voice of the proprietress came from the reception: “Ergou, you dumbass, you took the wrong key.”

Paranoid paused upon hearing this, then pulled the key out of the lock and eyed it for a moment.

Then, he silently wiped the sweat from his forehead, expressionlessly walked to the reception, received a smack on the back of his head from the proprietress, picked up another key, and slowly walked back to Ke Mingye’s side.

With a “click” sound, he opened the booth’s door, and peering inside, under a dim yellow light, were rows of desktop computers and empty chairs, with a sofa set up at the back.

Paranoid closed the booth door, lowered his hat brim, and said in a heavy tone, “Sorry…Lord Paranoid misjudged earlier. There are no surveillance cameras in the booth, we are safe now.”

“You really are a world-class idiot…”

Ke Mingye remarked, then asked, “So where’s the dungeon you mentioned?”

Paranoid pointed at the computer farthest to the right in the booth.

Ke Mingye raised his eyebrows, turned to look intently, and indeed saw a translucent blue panel floating above the computer screen.

“There really is a dungeon in this weird place…” he muttered, walking towards the panel.

The text on the panel then came into view.

[Congratulations, you have discovered the “4 dungeon” of “Huanjing,” and it has been added to your dungeon atlas for viewing at any time.]
