My Ability Pool is Superior - Chapter 276: Campus Disappearance
“Master Lu!”
“Look at me, look at me!”
“Master Lu, over here!!”
The surrounding onlookers were all extremely excited, eagerly waving their hands.
The anomaly had left too many shadows on the citizens, and with hope appearing, everyone was willing to believe that it truly existed.
Lu Bai waved his hands to the left and right sides respectively, greeted everyone, and then walked into the campus under the excited gazes of the crowd.
The school leaders immediately came up to welcome him, throwing all kinds of flattery at Lu Bai as if it cost nothing.
“Great, with Master Lu taking action, the anomaly will have nowhere to hide.”
“Safety first.”
But they didn’t make a fuss for too long; the school leaders soon stopped and did not continue deeper, perhaps to avoid some unnecessary danger.
As they went deeper into the school, only Captain Mao and some Action Department personnel remained by Lu Bai’s side.
It had to be admitted that this art university had done quite well in terms of greening, with lush vegetation and flowerbeds visible everywhere.
Moreover, due to the suspected appearance of an anomaly in the school, classes were suspended immediately, and all faculty and staff were given time off as well.
There was not a trace of human presence on the campus, making it exceptionally silent.
The Action Department personnel had been investigating the campus for two days and were very familiar with the interior of the campus.
Captain Mao walked ahead to lead the way, taking Lu Bai and the group across the sports field, and after turning past the guardrail net, they could see a building with clothing hanging on a row of balconies.
This was the girls’ dormitory building of Keshan Art University.
Downstairs of the dormitory building, a team of Action Department personnel was still garrisoned, with each person’s walkie-talkie constantly maintaining smooth communication.
Captain Mao stopped and turned back to look at Lu Bai: “Master Lu, in your opinion, is the anomaly in the dormitory building?”
Lu Bai did not give a direct answer, but instead chanted an incantation and swiped his finger in front of his eyes.
Unexpectedly, the entire girls’ dormitory building had almost no yin energy, with no sign of an anomaly existing.
His gaze swept across the dormitory balconies in sequence, finally lingering for a moment on the black pantyhose hanging on the clothesline on the second floor, then withdrew his gaze and shook his head at Captain Mao: “Even if there is an anomaly, it shouldn’t be in this dormitory.”
The Lu Bao Bureau observer who had been following Lu Bai throughout noticed this detail, quickly stepped back a few steps, and dialed the dedicated hotline from Lu Bao Bureau that was staffed 24 hours for smooth communication.
“This is Observer 073. Based on the situation I have now, please have the Lu Bao Bureau Entertainment Department immediately issue a work arrangement, announcing that all female personnel of Lu Bao Bureau are prohibited from wearing any clothing below the waist other than black stockings for the current time and the foreseeable future. This is an emergency; I will call the Entertainment Department head later to explain the situation.”
“Headquarters received, handling immediately. May Master Lu be happy.”
“May Master Lu be happy.”
……
At the other end of the city, a private hospital more than twenty kilometers away from Keshan Art University in a straight line.
White fluorescent lights stretched along the ceiling. A man in a suit was squatting on the floor cutting up a corpse for fun, with a stack of work-related medical records placed on a hospital bed in the corridor to avoid blood splattering on them.
The girl wearing a bow hairpin hugged her knees with both hands, curled up and sitting on the hospital bed.
She glanced at the rather heavy-tasting scene and said helplessly, “After all, we are guests. Isn’t it a bit inappropriate to treat the owner of this house like this?”
“No, I just want to verify my guess.”
The man in the suit didn’t look up, his hand holding the knife steady without the slightest tremor: “Don’t you want to know how these so-called anomalies are born? Can they be artificially induced?”
“No.”
The girl wearing a bow hairpin pursed her lips and conveniently picked up the remote control to turn on the wall-mounted LCD television in the corridor.
The sound of a news broadcast came from the television.
“Master Lu Bai’s action this time has important meaning for the safety and development of Keshishan City. Next, please follow this station’s reporter Liu…”
The man in the suit, who had just been patiently dismembering the corpse, suddenly stopped in some displeasure, frowned, and shouted, “Turn down the TV volume.”
Fu Xuejia laughed “giggle giggle” upon hearing this.
After laughing enough, she turned her head and said with a bit of teasing, “If you want to verify your guess, why not expose yourself like this guy named Lu Bai? By then, I reckon whatever requests you have, these natives should try their best to satisfy you.”
“This guy is just asking for death. Among so many death fighters, have you seen any step forward like this?”
The man in the suit reached out to loosen his tie and disdainfully glanced at Lu Bai on the TV screen: “Even if he’s lucky and doesn’t get taken out by those anomalies, he’ll become a target for everyone.”
……
Several construction workers squatted in the color steel shed dormitory, eating boxed meals while opening the news live stream on their mobile phones, playing at maximum volume on speaker.
One of the young people was different from the other construction workers; he wasn’t eating, but focused all his attention on the current news live stream.
He listened to the conversation between the host and the on-site reporter, fiddling with the large wrench in his hand, his gaze flickering.
Moments later, he stood up with the wrench and walked outside.
His coworkers found it strange and called out to him a few times, but got no response.
……
Three taxi drivers got out of their cars, squatted by the roadside, held their phones horizontally, and watched the scene on the phone screen thoughtfully.
“How many times is this now? The second or the third? Interesting. What do you think this guy is really thinking?”
A driver wearing sunglasses rubbed his finger back and forth on the ground: “Could he really plan to help these natives deal with the anomaly?”
“‘Node’ hasn’t appeared, so he’s probably just bored?”
“No matter what this guy plans to do, I don’t think he’s a normal death fighter anyway.”
The driver with a rounder face squinted and smiled: “How about we three go join in the fun too?”
As soon as this suggestion was made, the last driver decisively got up and into the car.
“Let’s go together, let’s go together.”
……
Keshan Art University.
Lu Bai stopped in front of an idle teaching building and confirmed that there was no yin energy in this building either.
He then turned to Captain Mao, who was following beside him, and said, “No need to go in; the anomaly isn’t here either.”
Captain Mao had no objection, but was somewhat doubtful: “Master Lu, we’ve basically checked all the school’s buildings. What do you think about this matter…”
As someone who had personally experienced the power of Lu Bai’s Lightning Law, Captain Mao naturally would not doubt Lu Bai’s judgment.
He looked around and leaned close to Lu Bai’s ear, lowering his voice to ask: “Do you think it’s possible that this incident wasn’t caused by an anomaly at all?”
“Hard to say.”
Lu Bai rubbed his brow: “We’ll see when it gets dark.”
