My Ability Pool is Superior

“Uh… okay, yes, yes, yes.”

The Criminal Investigation Team Captain felt like he had been granted amnesty, not daring to ask Lu Bai why he wanted his gun, and hurriedly signaled his team members to run.

After running wildly around two corners, confirming that Lu Bai’s figure was nowhere to be seen, he finally slowed down his steps with trepidation.

During this time, the Criminal Investigation Team Captain felt his heart was about to jump out, fearing that Lu Bai would suddenly change his mind and crush their entire team with a single finger.

A police officer with prominent cheekbones was panting heavily, boldly glancing back, and sighed with great relief: “Good thing Captain Jia you know Lu Bai, otherwise we probably all would’ve died there.”

“What are you saying.”

Captain Jia gave a low shout and quickly covered his team member’s mouth: “No manners, that’s Brother Bai.”

None of the police officers present mocked their own captain for quickly kneeling; they all strongly approved.

Their words were filled with the joy of escaping death.

“Right, right, Brother Bai.”

“Seriously, that guy’s aura is so terrifying.”

“Don’t laugh, but I couldn’t even stand steady at the time.”

“Enough.” Captain Jia stopped his team members’ discussion and made a summarizing statement: “In short, we saw the changes in the sky and stopped the investigation action early. We didn’t encounter Brother Bai during that time, got it?”

Watching his team members nod one after another, Captain Jia felt relieved and explained: “Of course, I don’t think anyone will ask about it. As long as the higher-ups have any brains left, they won’t let this arrest operation continue.”

……

Urban Area, inside a luxurious civilian house.

In the spacious living room, it was so quiet you could hear a pin drop, deathly silent.

Chang Tiger scanned the grave expressions on everyone’s faces and sneered disdainfully: “Why isn’t anyone speaking? If you’re regretting it, just say so. I can take the trouble to kill you all first.”

The three high school students who looked somewhat similar glanced at each other.

The eldest of the triplets frowned, about to refute, but before he could speak.

“Chang Tiger, this isn’t the time for internal strife.”

The Glasses Man pushed up the frames on the bridge of his nose, his voice devoid of any inflection.

Chang Tiger placed both hands on the table, leaning forward, and suddenly grinned: “Internal strife? No, no, no. The plan failed, so it’s time to deal with the failures.”

“Not a complete failure. At least we confirmed the ability possessed by Smiling Face.” The Glasses Man raised an eyebrow.

As death fighters, they all knew that a gold level ability couldn’t erase the sun; it had to be some kind of trick.

Whether it was large-scale cognition distortion or some illusionary magic, it didn’t matter which—it definitely wasn’t an ability in the combat power enhancement aspect.

“Heh, so after plotting for so long, we still have to rely on direct fierce fight.” Chang Tiger was still mocking, but his attitude was slightly more serious.

The Glasses Man ignored Chang Tiger’s words and continued on his own: “The sun disappeared for about thirty seconds, but the black text in the sky can remain for a long time.

Does the duration depend on the area covered? Or was that just something Smiling Face did on purpose?

If there’s no time restriction, then the strength of this ability should exceed the gold level. Is it a combined ability? Did Smiling Face retain an ability from the previous round?”

“If you ask me, bullshit!”

Chang Tiger showed no regard for the Glasses Man’s face: “Achieving the ‘Incredible’ evaluation in deathmatch performance—do you not know how difficult that is? Don’t forget, you and I both ranked first in our previous deathmatch duel, and we were still far from getting that evaluation.”

“To be safe, we can’t rule out that possibility.”

The Glasses Man lightly tapped the table with his finger: “No, let’s treat this as real and spread the word about it.”

He turned to look at the triplet brothers nearby.

“The remaining death fighters in this deathmatch arena should all be in the Urban Area. Er Xi brothers, please inform everyone about this.

Facing a death fighter who retained a color ability, we remaining death fighters must join together.”

The Glasses Man deliberately emphasized his tone on “color ability.”

No need to inquire into the truth; just put the label on first. As long as the remaining death fighters shared a common enemy, that would be enough.

“Right, and while you’re at it, remind everyone that Smiling Face’s performance will definitely shock the natives of this world. So, under the threat of survival, it seems only natural for the natives to do everything they can to fulfill Smiling Face’s demands.”

Hearing this, a vein faintly bulged at Chang Tiger’s temple, his whole body emanating a keep-away killing intent.

“Sure enough, even if we’re cooperating, I still can’t help wanting to kill you.”

The Glasses Man leisurely pushed up the frames on the bridge of his nose.

“Why must you be like this, Brother Chang Tiger? You know, I’m a journalism major.”

……

“I don’t know.”

A girl with cat ears growing from her head said aggrievedly: “Big Boss Smiling Face, I really wasn’t trying to cause you trouble. I live here originally.”

Lu Bai smiled appreciatively, then chopped off the cat-eared girl’s head with one knife.

“Don’t know, get the knife.”

After simply summing up, Lu Bai turned to look at the girl in floral dress on the other side: “So, do you know?”

The girl in floral dress was also seventeen or eighteen years old. She stared blankly at Lu Bai, hesitated for a moment, and softly responded in a small voice: “I… I’m not an investigate-type ability either…”

Lu Bai nodded, raising Long Fang in his hand: “Not even blinking at the death of a partner— you deserve punishment.”

“No!”

The girl in floral dress nearly screamed, frantically making excuses while Long Fang hadn’t fallen yet: “I’ve been hiding here with A Ying since last night. We’ve seen several people who seemed like death fighters pass by. Take me with you—if I see them, I can definitely recognize them.”

Since she’d survived this long, holding on a bit more might let her reach the third round ability pool for a reversal of fate; of course she wasn’t willing to give up easily.

Lu Bai showed a gentle smile on his face: “You pass.”

“Then…”

Pfft!

Sizzle~

A large spurt of blood shot out from the severed neck.

[Ding!]

[Points +4, Current Points: 98, Current Rank 1/67]

“I was joking.”

Lu Bai gave a simple explanation to the corpse, then put away Long Fang and turned to leave the bungalow.

Honestly, just knowing appearances didn’t mean much to him.

He was the team leader in the Field Operations Department of the Special Affairs Bureau—that wasn’t for nothing.

After the death fighters’ location information was announced, he had thoroughly checked Jiangyu City’s resident information, memorizing the appearances of many suspected death fighters.

Those suspected residents might be misidentified if they appeared elsewhere, but if they came to the Urban Area now, stabbing them first was absolutely fine.
