My Ability Pool is Superior

“In the previous round, we entered the same Deathmatch Arena.”

Xiao Xueyin walked to the window, parted two leaves, and said with a smile: “But I’m just a nobody, Brother Hui, you definitely don’t remember me.”

“No, I’m sure I’ve seen you. Where exactly?”

Duan Jianhui took two steps back. He vaguely felt a bit familiar but couldn’t recall.

In fact, when Liu Yue carried the barely breathing Xiao Xueyin downstairs, Duan Jianhui caught a fleeting glimpse in the hall. That was their only encounter.

So it was normal that Duan Jianhui didn’t remember. On the contrary, it was a bit strange that Xiao Xueyin knew what he looked like…

Worth mentioning was that both of them had entered the top ten in the previous round, which meant they had both obtained a title.

But their heads above were both empty. Clearly, to stay concealed, neither had chosen to wear the title too early.

“If there’s not much impression, it proves we didn’t talk back then.”

Xiao Xueyin picked up the binoculars and spun them around like a pen.

Duan Jianhui’s muscles were tense all over, ready at any moment to strike: “Let’s not talk about that. How did you know I was here?”

“I guessed. After all, for the node’s position, besides entering the hospital, this building is the best observation point with the best field of vision.”

Xiao Xueyin strolled casually in the room with the binoculars, intentionally or unintentionally approaching Duan Jianhui: “You’d better not ask why I found your room so precisely. That would only make me think your brain isn’t very good.

Just check the recent check-in information for this apartment, and you’d know. You wouldn’t expect a homestay that doesn’t even sign contracts to have strong confidentiality for tenant information, right?

Not just you. This apartment suddenly has five new tenants today. Isn’t that a coincidence? I found you, an acquaintance, at the second one.”

Duan Jianhui’s complexion was a bit ugly. The opponent’s leisurely posture gave him a very strong sense of oppression.

Looking closely, sweat beads had even seeped out on his forehead.

To avoid showing weakness, Duan Jianhui forced himself to calm down and said in a deep voice: “I won’t ask about the fate of the previous tenant. Since you haven’t made a move now, you want to cooperate with me, right?”

Xiao Xueyin’s eyes stared at the rotating ceiling fan, seemingly pondering his words: “Probably at first, I thought I had that idea, but now thinking about it, there’s no need to find you.”

The next second, he moved his foot, dashed forward, and unleashed a Whiplash Kick.

At the critical moment, Duan Jianhui crossed his arms in front of his chest and immediately wore his title. Four gray hazy characters lit up above his head—Covert Observation.

But a title of this level was hard to say how much help it could provide.

Bang!

A dull sound of flesh colliding rang out.

Duan Jianhui was kicked flying back, slamming into the wall before stopping.

He only felt his arms go numb, as if struck by a steel pillar.

Xiao Xueyin pressed his advantage relentlessly, closing in with a kick to step on Duan Jianhui’s crossed arms, then borrowed the force to soar, lifted his leg, bent his knee, and heavily smashed into Duan Jianhui’s chin.

The powerful knee strike made Duan Jianhui’s head uncontrollably tilt back. His back of the head directly smashed into the wall, emitting a crisp sound.

Not exaggerating at all, getting hit like this would make a concussion the least of it.

Xiao Xueyin adjusted his rapid breathing and reached out with both hands to cup Duan Jianhui’s head, saying calmly.

“As expected, in the previous round, you were just lucky.”

Crack~

Before the words finished, his arms suddenly exerted force, twisting Duan Jianhui’s neck.

……

Inpatient Department, Room 6019.

“Although a bit blurry, it should be Xiao Xueyin, right?”

Lu Bai zoomed the surveillance footage on his mobile phone to maximum.

The footage showed that the skinny, pale-skinned figure had stood by the flowerbed at the hospital entrance for quite a while.

Lu Bai mainly checked the surveillance at various intersections near the hospital and didn’t pay much attention to the interior of the hospital.

It wasn’t that he thought no Death Fighter would dare enter the hospital.

In fact, he had long obtained a list of today’s registered patients.

If any Death Fighter sneaked into the hospital, no matter how well disguised, they would all be included in this scope, making the risk relatively controllable.

Yao Yi and Wang Ting were scrolling short videos together. Hearing Lu Bai muttering to himself, he couldn’t help but look up and ask: “What Xiao Xueyin? Your high school classmate?”

“Sort of.”

Lu Bai brushed it off casually.

Seeing that Lu Bai had no intention to chat deeply, Yao Yi simply changed the topic: “Speaking of which, Brother Lu, you’re really popular now. Even my account that often watches beauties can scroll to you.”

“All negative news, right?”

Lu Bai showed a kind smile, his mindset as calm as if he weren’t the one at the center of the hot topic.

Yao Yi hummed in agreement and added: “But Brother Lu, you really not planning to have Director Xu’s side help cool things down for you?”

When negative public opinion arises, cold handling is indeed a good approach.

After all, the internet has no memory.

But the premise of cold handling is that no one continues to fan the flames behind the scenes.

“No problem.”

Lu Bai said with a cheerful smile: “Anyway, no one will come to hit me.”

Yao Yi seemed to want to persuade more, opened his mouth, but swallowed the words.

It was just that Lu Bai seemed completely unconcerned. Even if he wanted to persuade, he could only give up.

……

Night gradually deepened.

Yao Yi’s injuries were still heavy and unhealed. After playing on his mobile phone for a while, he fell asleep.

After Lu Bai finished watching the surveillance footage from various intersections and had a clear picture in mind, he stood up and stretched.

He didn’t plan to sleep, so tonight was still very long for him.

He walked to the front of the hospital room door and observed the situation in the corridor through the small window on the door.

The corridor was very quiet. No patient was seen wandering in the passageway.

Not far away at the nurse station, a young female nurse on duty was propping her cheek with one hand, unconsciously yawning, her eyelids drooping as if she might fall asleep at any moment.

According to the information on the list, among today’s admitted patients, only three were assigned to this floor.

Namely, rooms 6012 and 6025.

Among them, room 6025 had two new patients admitted.

Moreover, their conditions were, in Lu Bai’s view, insignificant phalange fractures. If not for the patients’ strong insistence, the doctor even suggested they go home to rest.

Leaving aside the patient in room 6012, at least these two fracture patients could completely be marked as Death Fighters in Lu Bai’s eyes.

It was just a pity that from his angle, he couldn’t see the situation in room 6025.

Lu Bai found a medical record tag to block the small window on the door, then returned to the hospital bed and lay down.

He pillowed his hands behind his head and quietly waited for time to pass.

Whenever this happened, he really missed the powerful hearing that the zombie virus had given him.

When the time came, the corridor lights automatically dimmed as set.

Creak~

In the dimness, a hospital room door was gently pushed open…
