My Ability Pool is Superior - Chapter 277: Copper Coin Sword

(These two chapters are in the wrong order…)

It should be noted that the sequence of anomalies does not represent strength or weakness.

It purely depends on how great a threat they pose to humanity.

So don’t think the Drowned Ghost is easy to deal with just because it ranks only eighty-one on the anomaly sequence.

Soon, that foul stench filled the entire Security Room, and its blurry outline could barely be seen in the darkness.

Captain Mao and Observer Chen decisively moved closer to Lu Bai to avoid being attacked by this Drowned Ghost.

Observer Chen was still loyally holding his mobile phone to record, completely unaware in his panic that the phone screen had gone black.

If Lu Bai weren’t still beside them, they probably would have run away long ago.

“Lu… Master Lu, what do we do now?”

Considering how unbearable this fishy stench was, Captain Mao had no choice but to cover his mouth and nose with his hand as he asked, his voice sounding inevitably muffled.

Lu Bai tossed the poker cards from his hand and casually stood up, blocking in front of the two: “Simple, I’ll handle it.”

It was worth mentioning that although the Drowned Ghost had entered the Security Room, it had not made any harmful moves, instead swaying its head left and right, as if searching for suitable prey.

It had no expression, yet from its blurry shadow, one could feel that it was very dissatisfied.

“Master Lu, according to the Action Department expert team’s guess, the sequence 81 Drowned Ghost does not select prey.”

Under the influence of the stench, Captain Mao’s inner fear inexplicably diminished quite a bit, and he soon recalled intelligence about the Drowned Ghost.

His expression gradually became grave: “Isn’t this a bit off?”

Lu Bai didn’t care about the Drowned Ghost right in front of him, even turning back casually to glance at Captain Mao: “You mean, there are other anomalies in the school? Or someone is up to tricks?”

Don’t forget, this case drew the attention of the Action Department because six female university students went missing.

But Keshan Art University isn’t a girls’ school, so why were only female students targeted?

Lu Bai turned to look at the Drowned Ghost in front of him and took a proactive step forward: “Are you still engaging in gender discrimination?”

The Drowned Ghost made gurgling sounds, as if it couldn’t speak human words like the Red-clothed Female Ghost.

Seeing this, Lu Bai didn’t waste time and directly took out a Bagua Mirror and a Copper Coin Sword from the tool bag on the table.

Given the degree of importance the Lu Bao Bureau placed on him, getting these things was just a matter of one sentence.

The red string linking the Copper Coin Sword had been soaked in black dog blood, and the Bagua Mirror was also an old item.

To be honest, while Lightning Law from Maoshan Daoism could harm anomalies, whether glutinous rice and black dog blood could actually affect anomalies, Lu Bai didn’t dare guarantee it.

But since the Maoshan Daoism he mastered was introduced this way, he naturally didn’t mind trying it first.

After all, he couldn’t just use Palm Thunder to strike every time he encountered an anomaly, right?

Leaving aside whether Lightning Law was effective, the commotion it caused was simply too great; it was best to master some other means as well.

Lu Bai picked up the Copper Coin Sword and entered Flash Time state, then aimed its sword tip at the Drowned Ghost and placed it on the table.

Taking advantage of the remaining bit of time in Flash Time, he held the Bagua Mirror and aimed it at the moon outside the window.

The surrounding screen resumed flowing.

Captain Mao and Observer Chen happened to see Lu Bai holding the Bagua Mirror, drawing a beam of bright white moonlight into the mirror.

This scene alone was enough to shock the two present; little did they know, the magical events were still to come.

Lu Bai then held the Bagua Mirror aimed at the Copper Coin Sword, slowly moving from the sword tip to the hilt.

In an instant, this Copper Coin Sword bloomed with brilliant golden light like a cheering stick, dazzling like gold.

The Drowned Ghost, which had still been patiently observing before, seemed to sense the threat from the Copper Coin Sword and immediately began to shake.

Its head full of messy hair rapidly extended, swaying like waterweed in a river.

Lu Bai had previously been just one step away from this Drowned Ghost; as its foul-smelling hair thrashed about, it came so close that he could vaguely feel the temperature of those “waterweeds.”

This was somewhat unbearable.

He decisively retreated half a step and formed Sword Finger.

Whoosh~

The Copper Coin Sword glowing with golden light immediately shot toward the Drowned Ghost as if it had gained spiritual intelligence.

Unexpectedly, the Copper Coin Sword did not pierce through the Drowned Ghost’s bloated, water-soaked body, instead emitting a piercing buzz like hitting an iron plate.

“Master Lu, be careful.”

As soon as the fight started, Captain Mao immediately pulled Observer Chen to hide in the corner of the Security Room, leaving space for Lu Bai to fully exert himself.

They couldn’t be blamed for being useless; after the Drowned Ghost appeared, all communication equipment malfunctioned, making it impossible to call for reinforcements.

Two small-caliber pistols wouldn’t be of much use either, at best serving as atmosphere.

“Gurgle… No wonder you dare, gurgle, to meddle, turns out you have some skill.”

The Drowned Ghost suddenly spoke, its voice extremely eerie, as if liquid was constantly pouring from its throat.

Lu Bai controlled the glowing Copper Coin Sword, keeping it suspended in front of him.

“Gurgle… You don’t know yet, you’ve already been targeted, right?”

The Drowned Ghost’s mocking words mixed with gurgling sounds sounded somewhat comical instead, completely lacking a terrifying atmosphere.

“Targeted?”

Lu Bai repeated the word, his eyes narrowing slightly: “You all have an organization?”

The Drowned Ghost did not answer again, controlling its waterweed-like hair to thrust straight at Lu Bai.

Relying on the powerful effect of Flash Time, Lu Bai easily tilted his head to dodge, then drew a yellow paper talisman and slapped it onto the waterweed.

After applying the talisman paper, Lu Bai pinched his fingers with his left hand and positioned them in front: “I don’t like riddle people.”

The talisman paper stuck to the Drowned Ghost’s hair flashed a few times, then released countless golden threads that rapidly spread along the hair to its entire body.

Wherever the golden threads reached, black smoke surged; before the Drowned Ghost could react, Lu Bai swiftly swung his right hand, which was still in Sword Finger pose.

The suspended Copper Coin Sword immediately struck the Drowned Ghost, followed by a muffled “bang,” nailing it hard to the wall.

Clap~

Observer Chen’s Adam’s apple bobbed, and he didn’t even realize the mobile phone he was using to record had slipped from his hand.

With the golden light emanating from the Copper Coin Sword, Captain Mao and Observer Chen could see the entire process very clearly.

The sight of Lu Bai nailing the Drowned Ghost to the wall in just two or three moves left the two dumbfounded.

“Master Lu, this…”

Captain Mao subconsciously picked up a cigarette, but his hand trembled so much he couldn’t light it: “We’re the professionals, Little Chen, don’t panic…”

Lu Bai ignored the shocked two in the corner and stepped up to the Drowned Ghost.

He reached out and flicked the Copper Coin Sword’s blade twice, his face still bearing a kind smile: “Now you can talk, right?”
