Superman Termination Manual - Chapter 74

Chapter 74 – 062 Instance 7 Boss Battle (Part 2)
Finally, at the same second, both of them reached just above the northwest tunnel.

It was also that same second when the dark train roared out of the tunnel like a raging porcupine; Ju Zipi seized the moment, executing a roll and landing on top of the train.

Ke Mingye was different. He shot his web towards a point higher up on the pillar, grabbed hold of it, and swung even higher.

Then, at the moment he reached ten meters above, he let go of the web and growled quietly.

“Today, you bastards are going to see what they call a superhero-style landing!”

[Height detected to meet conditions (above 8 meters from the ground), Skill “Superhero Landing” successfully released]

[Description: It enables you to land instantly with the graceful pose of one knee on the ground, immune to the impact damage from the fall, and causes a violent shake on the ground beneath your feet.]

The next moment, Ke Mingye’s body seemed as if it had been possessed by The God Cthulhu, his right knee suddenly bending, right index finger pressed against his forehead, keeping this ludicrous posture, he plunged to the earth like a shooting star!

Boom!

Finally, he smashed precisely on the top of the train, the massive impact creating a deep dent on the train’s surface, and with it, a severe shock wave spread out, knocking down five knife-wielding thugs within a two-meter radius.

“You deal with these five knife-wielding thugs!”

After landing unscathed, Ke Mingye got up and ran towards a distant hole—the only way to drop into the train’s interior compartments.

“Got it, you hurry into the train!”

As Ju Zipi growled, he charged towards the five knife-wielding thugs Ke Mingye had knocked down, with his gigantic Wave Blade morphing into a sprightly water dragon that swept across, holding them in place.

At this moment, Ke Mingye was sprinting across the rusted metallic body of the train, the thuds of his steps echoing, and although Ju Zipi had stopped the five thugs, another eight were still blocking his path ahead.

The knife-wielding thugs swung at the air, their pupils flickering with ghostly fires, guarding the entrance to the compartment with unwavering diligence.

Ke Mingye lowered his right hand, firing three webs from the spider-web shooter, sticking to the bodies of three thugs, temporarily rendering them immobile, before he dashed through them.

As he charged forward towards the last five knife-wielding thugs, he shouted at Fan Quan, “Man of culture, for the love of God, do something useful!”

As his voice fell, Fan Quan on the platform looked down, the bible in his hands turning pages without wind.

Three of its pages tore out fiercely, transforming into three little paper figures that hopped onto his shoulder.

“Did you get ’Nietzsche’?” Qing Meng asked in a near panic, turning to Fan Quan, “That stupid Spider Man is about to get slashed to death, do something useful quickly.”

“Superhuman Will.”

Fan Quan uttered a phrase softly, answering her question.

[Player “Failed Man” has received the enhancement skill “Superhuman Will” from player “Fan Quan”. A player under the state of “Superhuman Will” will enter a 2.5-second state of “invincibility to harm, free from all control”.]

Atop the train, Ke Mingye’s body was suddenly enveloped in a faint golden glow. He folded his arms in front of him and charged forward recklessly.

Despite the knife-wielding thugs’ tremendous strength and knives so sharp they seemed crafted by the world’s most skilled artisan, they still couldn’t rattle the golden figure.

Ke Mingye, like a wild bull, battered his way through. His Physical Fitness of 51 played a decisive role at this moment, and with the boost of “Superhuman Will” and his strength, he forcefully squeezed through them and then, lowering his body, he slid towards the hole in the roof of the train, flowing into it as smoothly as the clouds and water.

At that moment, the train entered the tunnel, and all around him dimmed.

Ke Mingye dropped from the hole in the ceiling and landed on the floor of the dim compartment. He quickly scrambled to his feet, his gaze fixed straight ahead.

Although he could see nothing clearly, he was certain that the driver’s cabin was at the very front, so he started sprinting forward, the roar of the moving train filling his ears.

At that very moment, five ghost knife-wielders roared as they jumped down from the hole in the ceiling, charging forward without hesitation after landing. Their moves were as agile as a leopard’s, and with such running speed, catching up to Ke Mingye was more than manageable.

But suddenly, Ke Mingye halted, forcefully lowering his right arm, shooting a web strand towards the left-side window and right-side window of the fourth carriage.

Then, grabbing two strands of spider silk from the left and right sides, he exerted all his strength to tense his body backward like a spring.

Next, at the peak of tension, he released the spider silk from his hands.

The Deception Puppet, being unreasonably light, used the recoil from the spider silk to launch itself like an arrow released from the bow, shooting through three cars before finally crashing down in front of the driver’s cabin.

Ke Mingye quickly got up and turned to look at the ghost knife-handlers who were fiercely chasing after him.

Some were stepping on seats, others on windows, and some were running down the middle of the aisle, all racing crazily towards him. The ghostly fires burning in their empty sockets flickered in the dark carriage like souls out for vengeance.

“It’s checkmate, buddy, and you’re still chasing…”

As he spoke, Ke Mingye pulled out a Colt 1911 handgun from his pocket.

It was given to him by Fan Quan in the passage leading to the platform. His mission was to break into the train’s driver’s cabin and fire a shot at the crazy train conductor’s head.

He was almost there, just one step away.

Ke Mingye walked slowly inside the driver’s cabin, approaching the driver’s seat step by step.

At this moment, the train burst out of the tunnel, and the glow of the setting sun allowed him to see the figure seated at the driver’s seat, an old man with a sinister smile.

The train conductor was still laughing stupidly, his gaze fixed on the gruesome, rotting face in the rearview mirror, seemingly oblivious to the fact that his end was near.

“Time to rest in peace, comrade.”

While saying this, Ke Mingye approached the train conductor.

He paid no attention to the howling coming from behind him as he slowly raised the Colt 1911 handgun, placing its dark muzzle against the conductor’s forehead.

The next moment, he pulled the trigger.

Bang!

The gunshot tore through the rumbling of the engine, echoing in the driver’s cabin bathed in the afterglow of the sunset. Blood splattered on the seats, staining half of the window red.

The old man’s neck slumped down in the rearview mirror, his head coming to rest against the window.

[Final Strike!!! (Finishing Blow!!!)]

[Boss Crazy Train Conductor’s Health: 100% → 0%]

“As expected, one shot and it’s all over.”

Ke Mingye watched the deceased train conductor, murmuring to himself.

He turned slowly to look back at the first carriage, only to see the five relentless knife-handlers had already fallen to the floor, evaporating into a burst of hot gas.
