My Ability Pool is Superior - Chapter 274: I've Got Some Real Strength

The appearance of a red-clothed female ghost in red clothes drifting down with the wind carried a unique sense of beauty.

However, this scene, in the eyes of the civilians and action personnel on site, was like a death warrant, scaring many people into standing stiffly in place.

“Run!”

“Don’t freeze up.”

Someone finally reacted and wanted to escape, but before they could turn their head, their gaze became vacant, as if everything around them was no longer worth caring about.

The red-clothed female ghost with an unclear face landed, but a pair of small red embroidered shoes seemed not to touch the ground.

A shout came from the blurry face, the tone sounding sometimes angry, sometimes resentful: “Come, come, come…”

As its shout rang out, the nearby residents with vacant gazes became even more dazed in expression.

They unconsciously walked toward the direction of the red-clothed female ghost, and at first glance, it seemed like they were crowding around it.

If not for the red-clothed female ghost’s appearance being too anomalous, this scene would have had a somewhat serene and peaceful flavor.

Bang!

A gunshot broke the silence of the night.

Captain Mao gritted his teeth and pulled the trigger again.

He certainly knew that this kind of attack couldn’t have any influence on the red-clothed female ghost at all, but he really couldn’t endure being in such a state like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

The other team members of the action department were probably also inspired by Captain Mao; since they couldn’t escape, they had to tear off a piece of flesh from the anomaly no matter what.

With this purpose in mind, the action department members on site successively raised their pistols and fired, shooting intensely, and even Li Hanbin drew his pistol and joined in.

As for the other civilians who had not yet been influenced in their minds by the red-clothed female ghost, they were now frantically retreating, hoping to find a flaw in this anomalous blockade.

As for Lu Bai, he stared at the female ghost like it was nothing for a while, then turned to a nearby vegetation area, pulled off a willow branch, and patiently removed the forks from the willow branch.

After tidying it up, Lu Bai parted the crowd and walked straight toward the red-clothed female ghost.

After all, everyone else was running outward, and he was the only one going against the flow, making him particularly conspicuous in the crowd.

Li Hanbin paused to reload, and when his gaze unintentionally swept over the crowd, he spotted Lu Bai at once and immediately shouted: “Xiao Lu! What are you doing? Don’t go over there!”

He had observed that within about thirty meters centered on the red-clothed female ghost, no matter who entered this scope, they would act as if deprived of consciousness, walking toward it in a dazed and foolish manner.

Lu Bai heard Li Hanbin’s shout, glanced sideways at him, then gave him a kind smile: “This won’t work for you guys, let me do it. I have more strength.”

Before the words finished, he raised his left hand, rapidly condensing according to the lightning law’s qi circulation route.

In the residential area enveloped by the night curtain, suddenly the sky lit up as if daylight overpowered the night, dazzling and intense.

After this flashing lightning, the people on site finally heard the sharp whine of lightning overpowering all the clamor.

Sizzle!!!

In an instant, across the entire residential area, the only thing attracting attention was the lightning jumping in Lu Bai’s palm.

Even the citizens previously charmed by the red-clothed female ghost awoke under the shock of the lightning law.

The red-clothed female ghost, which was the main target of the lightning law strike, let out an extremely shrill scream.

The scream swept through the entire residential area, making many people dizzy and dazzled just from hearing it.

“This damn…”

Li Hanbin’s tiger eyes widened in shock; he was the one on site who had seen the entire lightning activation process most completely.

The white lightning blooming from Lu Bai’s hand was simply beyond his cognition.

Manipulating lightning barehanded? Is this something a human can do?!

After the lightning passed, all the gunshots on site tacitly stopped.

Captain Mao stared at Lu Bai’s palm, where electric arcs still occasionally jumped, his body trembling from instinct.

“Holy shit!”

“What’s going on?!”

“Lightning, lightning struck?”

Even though the action department personnel had seen with their own eyes that this lightning was unleashed by Lu Bai, they still found it hard to believe, somewhat unwilling to trust their own eyes.

After taking a direct hit from palm thunder, the red-clothed female ghost’s body was already tattered, its long red dress showing large areas of scorch marks, and even several parts of the skirt hem had turned into fragments.

However, regarding this situation, Lu Bai was actually not very satisfied.

Compared to the old tour guide who was blasted into fragments in one hit, this red-clothed female ghost took one strike and not only maintained its complete form, but the degree of damage didn’t seem particularly severe.

Sizzle~

Lu Bai didn’t fire another palm thunder, but continued striding toward the red-clothed female ghost, shaking his hand midway to disperse the electric arcs jumping in his palm.

“This…”

Seeing this, someone unconsciously opened their mouth wide.

A handsome young man with an otherworldly temperament, a very kind smile on his lips, slowly walking toward the terrifying anomaly.

Who knows how many people would engrave this scene deep into their memory.

The red-clothed female ghost, from the moment it appeared until now, spoke human words for the first time: “…What thing are you?”

Its voice was very hoarse, like a venomous snake stuffed in its throat.

“I’m Lu Bai, a delivery guy. We’ll chat later.”

Lu Bai flashed it a brilliant smile, then raised his right hand with the trimmed willow branch, and swung it down without hesitation.

Whoosh~

The willow branch whipped through the air with a breaking sound.

Normally, even if a willow branch made a breaking sound, its power would be far inferior to a bullet.

But when the willow branch landed on the red-clothed female ghost, it caused it to scream uncontrollably again.

The key wasn’t just the pain; the moment the willow branch hit the red-clothed female ghost, its body visibly shrank a bit.

“Willow branch beats ghost, one hit makes it three inches shorter.”

Lu Bai pinched the willow branch between his index finger and thumb, swinging it repeatedly, looking like it took no effort at all.

And each time it hit the red-clothed female ghost, it caused a scream, its body rapidly withering, without even a chance to counterattack.

Whether Captain Mao, Li Hanbin, or the other action department personnel, every single one fell into a stunned state.

Some civilians even subconsciously covered their own kids’ eyes.

They had never seen an anomaly in such a wretched state, and in a daze, it felt like watching some niche fetish romance film déjà vu.

Hearing the red-clothed female ghost’s screams so much, they faintly felt a bit of pity.

“Xiao… Master Lu Bai, how about we give it a quick end?”

Captain Mao arduously pulled himself out of that stunned state.

Although the current situation clearly meant the crisis had passed.

But his mood hadn’t calmed at all; instead, it was countless times more shocked than before.

It wasn’t just the joy of surviving the disaster; Lu Bai’s appearance made him realize—humanity now had the possibility of eliminating anomalies.
