Superman Termination Manual-Chapter 583 - 279 Ultraman and the Monsters the

Chapter 583: Chapter 279 Ultraman and the Monsters, the Sleeping Nezha_2 Chapter 583: Chapter 279 Ultraman and the Monsters, the Sleeping Nezha_2 He often hangs out with the orphans in the welfare home and the disabled kids in the hospital, chatting and playing games with them.

Maybe Octopus Man knows all too well how lonely kids without parents can be, so the thing he most often says to the orphans is, “I lost my father when I was young, and my mother divorced and abandoned my brother and me, but we cannot give up hope. As long as we are alive and keep a kind heart, life will definitely get better”—statements like that. These words seem very fake and bureaucratic, like a scripted line carefully designed by investors helping Octopus Man establish an easy money-making persona for video shoot purposes, but Ke Mingye feels at least a part of Octopus Man’s words come from the heart.

Because all Octopus Man tries to do is make his father more visible to others, to counter his mother’s claim that his father was irresponsible, that he lost his life for some irrelevant strangers.

That’s it, utterly simple.

Of course, other people’s perceptions are their own, but not for Ke Mingye. Just looking at Octopus Man’s face angers him.

If it weren’t for the fact that Octopus Man’s brother was a member of the Clock Customer Alliance and getting close to Octopus Man might lead to new clues about his brother, then Ke Mingye wouldn’t want to have anything more to do with this guy.

With this in mind, Ke Mingye silently flipped off Octopus Man’s face on the TV screen.

...

Bai Ziling said, “Brother, that’s low class.”

Ke Yongzhu said, “Bro, that’s high class.”

The school kid also seemed to dislike Octopus Man, hence flipped off as well.

Bai Qiuwu just came home from school and saw, upon passing the entrance, one big and one small finger raised before the TV, aimed at Octopus Man in his formal attire.

Turning her head, she saw Ke Mingye and the school kid with perfectly synchronized expressions. Regardless of their usual banter and squabbles, whenever there was a chance to display their incredibly low-quality charm, they showed this miraculous quality of “brothers in sync.”

Bai Qiuwu swept her forehead bangs aside, looked at her two brothers with dissatisfaction, and asked with a curl of her lips, “What are you watching that’s got you so riled up?”

“Not watching anymore, gonna do summer vacation homework.”

As Ke Yongzhu spoke, he retracted his middle finger and got up from the sofa.

“Can’t you just swallow your homework, or maybe breathe fire and burn it?” Ke Mingye asked.

Ke Yongzhu flipped him off again without looking back and went upstairs.

“Brother, let’s watch Ultraman.” Bai Ziling suddenly tugged at Ke Mingye’s clothes.

“Which channel?”

“Night Sky TV.”

Ke Mingye rolled his eyes, not understanding which girl would like watching Ultraman, Bai Ziling was really an oddball.

Still, he pressed the remote control, switching to the Night Sky TV channel.

At this moment, Bai Qiuwu was feeling a bit irritated, so she sat down on the sofa as well and looked up at the TV, where “Gaia Ultraman” was playing on Night Sky TV.

Normally, Bai Qiuwu didn’t watch Tokusatsu dramas; she liked historical-based British and Italian dramas, such as “Medici,” but as a child, she often joined Ke Mingye in front of the TV to watch the Ultraman series, and she was familiar with the names of many Ultramen.

“Speaking of which, I met Ultraman today as well,” she suddenly said.

“Huh?” Ke Mingye went, “What Ultraman?”

Bai Qiuwu thought for a bit, “At the comic con, masked Ultramans, Tiga and Sailuo.”

“Oh.”

Ke Mingye silently marveled, thinking sister is really pulling my leg, the Ultramans you’re talking about wouldn’t be Fan Quan Ultraman and Spider Man Ultraman, right?

Bai Qiuwu then asked, “By the way, have you ever met any heroes who are Divine Communicators at the Superhero Association?”

“Is there such a person?”

“Like ‘Nezha’?”

“What is Nezha?”

At this, Bai Ziling suddenly sang softly, “It’s him, it’s him, definitely him, our young hero Nezha~” Her voice was light and indifferent, devoid of emotion, like a little snowman in a snowy forest suddenly collapsing with a splat.

Both Ke Mingye and Bai Qiuwu couldn’t help but smile.

“Okay, stop singing.” Ke Mingye rubbed her white hair.

“But isn’t she singing pretty well?” Bai Qiuwu asked.

“We’re watching Ultraman,” said Ke Mingye.

Speaking of Ultraman, Ke Mingye had a strong memory of playing such role-playing games at home when he was a child. Usually, the eldest brother and the second brother played monsters, Ke Yinzhi volunteered to play the monster, having a full range of hobbies since childhood, enjoying wearing a monster mask and suddenly jumping out of a corner to frighten people;

On the other hand, Ke Xiaomo played the monster because he was gentle by nature and the easiest to bully, so he was often forced into a monster suit to play along.

The monsters he played were completely different creatures from the eldest brother’s—while the eldest brother’s monster was from horror films that would scare people, the second brother’s monster was like the cartoonish, silly, and cute kind, which showed no resistance to violence and would just lie on the ground trying to look cute and naive, symbolically groaning “ah” a couple of times when being kicked and punched by his younger siblings, even his screams were emotionless.

Besides them, the hardest-to-bully Ke Yongzhu played Ultraman; and only Bai Zini, who as a child at home played these role-playing games and invented her identity as a magical girl, sticking to it from the start. Every time Ke Mingye questioned, “Why would there be a magical girl in Ultraman?” she would argue, “What, magical girls can’t fight monsters?”

Of course, no one expected that after growing up, the eldest brother and the second brother, who always played the monsters and got beaten up, became Ultramen, and Ke Yongzhu, who always played Ultraman, became a monster instead. During that incident in Wanxiang City, Ke Mingye truly suspected that if the eldest sister hadn’t stopped him, the eldest brother would have finished off the dragon-transformed elementary school kid.
