My Ability Pool is Superior - Chapter 272: Building Number Eight

After seeing the electric bicycle that had been stolen by the anomaly in his cognition, Li Hanbin did not continue to the rental room, but stayed in place, waiting for support.

He just had a strong sense of responsibility, not that he wanted to die.

Still the same words, when it comes to anomaly matters, no degree of vigilance is too high.

Without keeping Li Hanbin waiting too long, several vehicles carrying Action Department personnel soon arrived at the residential area, the vehicle loudspeakers blared loudly, people went about their tasks, skillfully evacuating the citizens in the residential area.

Once the crowds from the surrounding residential buildings had all been evacuated, the Action Department personnel began attempting to contact the electric bicycle.

“That’s right, it’s the electric bicycle in the photograph.”

“No special influence, can touch, now begin inspection.”

“Everything normal, no problems found.”

Captain Mao nodded after hearing the report, then walked to the corridor, shifting his gaze to the direction of the rental room.

The house door there was tightly closed, and due to its position in the basement, visibility was also very low.

In a daze, it was just like a closed gate of hell.

Just looking at it brought a wave of panic enveloping the heart, making one tremble involuntarily.

Captain Mao took a deep breath, steadied his mind, reached out his hand, and said, “Give me the key.”

“I’ll go open the door.” Li Hanbin held the basement’s spare key.

Facing unknown anomalies, numbers hold no meaning.

Especially during first contact, with no understanding at all, it could be said to be nine deaths and one life.

But to understand the habits of an anomaly, one could only use lives like this to blaze a trail; there always has to be someone first.

Captain Mao raised his hand to stop Li Hanbin, his tone harsh: “Stop, you’re not Action Department personnel.”

Suddenly, just as the two were arguing.

Click~

A slight sound of a door bolt popping came from the basement entrance.

The two standing in the corridor immediately fell silent, including some Action Department personnel nearby; everyone nervously watched that door.

Although the door had not yet opened, some people’s complexions had already begun to turn pale.

The instant the house door opened, it startled many into drawing a sharp breath.

However, the ferocious and bloody scene imagined did not appear.

What entered everyone’s eyes was a young man with handsome features and a well-proportioned build.

And he looked somewhat bleary-eyed from sleep.

Lu Bai squinted his eyes and looked up at the corridor entrance: “Haha, so many people, sorry, I slept too late last night.”

He stepped out, politely calling “excuse me, excuse me.”

Actually, there was no need for him to call out; the Action Department personnel in the corridor wouldn’t dare block this guy suspected to be an anomaly, and before he even got close, they hurriedly made way.

After coming out of the corridor, Lu Bai curiously asked, “But what exactly happened in the residential area? Why are they evacuating the crowds now?”

Li Hanbin: “…”

Captain Mao: “…”

The scene immediately fell quiet; whether Captain Mao or Li Hanbin, both couldn’t help but suspect if something had gone wrong somewhere.

…

After sending the evacuated crowds home and finishing up, night had already fallen.

Action Department personnel had temporarily set up a tent at the residential area entrance.

Lu Bai sat on a reception chair, Li Hanbin sat across from him conducting the inquiry, while Captain Mao stood to the side with arms crossed, vigilantly staring at Lu Bai.

After this period of contact, they also realized Lu Bai was not some anomaly; all the information matched up, and he seemed to just be an ordinary person.

“Don’t you know the provisions of Article 25 of the Emergency Management Guidelines for Anomaly Disasters? You broke the law last night, do you know that?”

Li Hanbin knocked on the table in front of him: “Tell me, where exactly did you go last night?”

Hearing that he had broken the law, Lu Bai immediately narrated in a tone like an official report: “Last night around ten o’clock, citizen Lu, feeling bored at home, put on a black jacket, drove the electric bicycle with license plate ****, traveled along Chengfu Great Dao, and after driving for over thirty minutes, seeing the electric bicycle battery low, began returning home the same way.”

“Wait a minute!”

Li Hanbin’s complexion was a bit odd, he barely managed his expression: “Say it simply.”

“On the way back, passing Bamboo Forest Park, I suddenly felt a strange sense of being watched, so I got off the bike and went into the park to look, and soon encountered an old man with white hair, leaning on a cane.”

Hearing this, Li Hanbin sitting across from Lu Bai felt a strong urge to retort rising in his heart.

He always felt that Lu Bai’s behavior was bizarre no matter how he looked at it.

Even before anomalies descended, this would count as courting death behavior; he was puzzled how such a guy who could court death so much had survived until now.

“That’s right, that’s Sequence 183’s old tour guide.”

Captain Mao standing nearby could confirm this from Lu Bai’s description.

He interjected and pressed: “What happened after that?”

Lu Bai glanced at him, still patiently explaining: “Later that old man insisted on pulling me to join the group, and even hid all the surrounding roads.”

Captain Mao’s gaze lit up: “Was it at this time that a new anomaly suddenly appeared right away and took out the old tour guide?”

“What new anomaly?”

Lu Bai blinked eyes, gradually realizing these official personnel seemed to have some misunderstanding, patiently explaining: “Here’s what happened, that white-haired old man was forcing a sale, I’d just learned Maoshan Daoism, how could I tolerate that, I pinned him to the ground on the spot.”

Captain Mao: “?”

As Lu Bai’s words fell, the scene immediately plunged into brief silence.

Bang!

Captain Mao suddenly slammed the table with a palm, angrily scolding: “Be honest! Don’t beat around the bush, hurry up and say what really happened!”

No matter which sequence’s anomaly it was, none could be dealt with by human power.

When anomalies first descended, the military even tried using a nuclear bomb, which could only have an effect on some anomalies with entities.

Now a delivery guy jumps out saying he took down an anomaly; in Captain Mao’s view, either he had lost his mind or was deliberately toying with them.

Li Hanbin also smiled wryly and shook his head: “Xiao Lu, don’t joke at a time like this.”

Lu Bai smiled quite frankly: “Alright, actually there was a humanoid pitch-black creature that rushed out and bit off the old man’s head in one bite.”

“What exactly did this pitch-black creature look like? How tall?”

Captain Mao adjusted his emotions, picked up a ballpoint pen, and recorded on a small notebook.

Lu Bai smiled helplessly, but before he could figure out how to continue making up the story, a hysterical scream directly interrupted his train of thought.

The scream came from Building Number Eight in the residential area.

All the Action Department personnel present were jolted.

Facing such a sudden incident, Captain Mao had no time to continue questioning Lu Bai, looked toward Building Number Eight, and shouted loudly: “Everyone, attention!”
