My Ability Pool is Superior - Chapter 308: Relentless Efforts

In the situation where everything in front of him was ink black, and he couldn’t see anything.

Suddenly hearing someone speak from behind him, even in a world without anomalies, would startle anyone.

Not to mention that this world already had all sorts of anomalies to begin with.

Xu Lingwen was directly frightened by Lu Bai, his heartbeat skipping half a beat.

“Who… who is it! Who’s speaking?!”

Xu Lingwen abruptly turned toward the direction the sound came from, but unfortunately under the influence of Ink Black, there was only ink black, and he couldn’t see anything.

“Don’t panic first.”

Lu Bai reached out and patted Xu Lingwen on the shoulder, startling him into a shudder, and he instinctively retreated half a step.

Seeing this, Lu Bai really couldn’t be bothered to pacify him first, so he simply turned his objective toward the still calm little girl.

He stared into her eyes and said, “Are you an anomaly?”

The effect of Ink Black, even anomalies couldn’t ignore it.

The little girl clearly couldn’t see Lu Bai’s expression either; she could only look at the darkness in front of her and inquire, “You’re that Master Lu, right?”

“Master and such, thanks to everyone’s kindness.”

Lu Bai smiled, then quickly got to the point: “It’s rare to encounter an anomaly that can communicate, I have some questions I want to ask you.”

The little girl still showed no significant emotional fluctuation; rather than calm, it was more like indifference.

“Mm, ask away.”

……

If not considering the possibility of lying, this anomaly in the form of a little girl answered every question throughout.

“…In short, you’re raising all of humanity.”

Lu Bai rubbed his chin, looking pensive.

The little girl’s statement wasn’t too hard to believe.

After all, with the abilities of anomalies, destroying humanity wouldn’t be difficult at all.

The reason humanity could barely cling on was that the anomalies taking the path of sustainable development was the most reasonable explanation.

“I advise you to join us; with your ability, we’ll definitely give you sufficient respect.”

The little girl remained indifferent, showing no strong enthusiasm for recruiting Lu Bai: “Unless you can eliminate all the anomalies, otherwise protecting these people is meaningless.”

To prevent wiping out humanity all at once, the anomalies were essentially restraining their actions.

If they really let loose, they could easily fill the population gap in this city.

“You make a good point.”

Lu Bai nodded, smiling as he added: “But I still refuse.”

Hearing Lu Bai’s stance, a bloody smell emerged from the little girl’s clothes; if not for the blackening effect of Ink Black, one would see her red dress had become as scarlet as blood.

As if he hadn’t noticed this change, Lu Bai continued on his own: “You’re misunderstanding one thing; I won’t stay in this world forever, no matter what it becomes, I actually don’t care.”

At this point, the smile on his face became even brighter, but unfortunately no one could see it.

“I’m choosing this simply because I feel like it.”

Swish~

The little girl suddenly swung a slap; her scarlet hem seemed to come alive, extending toward Lu Bai’s position.

Chilling cold and bloody smell instantly filled the entire area, especially the bloody smell, so dense it even felt slightly sweet.

Regrettably, this sudden strike missed.

Lu Bai’s figure had already swiftly moved away; if not for the black paint preventing visibility, it would seem his speed was no different from instant teleportation.

He instantly appeared behind Xu Lingwen and familiarly reached out to snap the other’s neck.

[Points +1, Current Points: 28, Current Rank 1/83]

Although Lu Bai’s action was too fast for Xu Lingwen to even cry out.

But the little girl was an anomaly after all, and she immediately sensed the fact of Xu Lingwen’s life breath disappearing.

This instead surprised her somewhat: “What are you doing? Aren’t you planning to stand on humanity’s side?”

Lu Bai flexed his wrist, smiling lightly.

“You still don’t get my meaning.”

Before these words could reach the little girl’s ears, Lu Bai himself had already appeared behind her.

A yellow talisman was precisely pasted on the little girl’s forehead with lightning speed.

How much effect Flash Time could exert depended purely on the user themselves.

The faster the user, the more they could do in that brief 0.5 seconds.

With Act Under Cover of Darkness, within a 500-meter radius centered on Lu Bai’s position, all was his attack scope.

“Goodbye.”

Lu Bai pressed two fingers together and chanted the incantation.

The yellow talisman ignited spontaneously, subduing this red-clothed anomaly on the spot.

After doing all this, Lu Bai glanced at the current number of surviving death fighters and murmured, “Gotta speed things up.”

Anomalies didn’t care if they were ordinary people or death fighters; in their eyes, all were food.

If he didn’t act faster, the death fighters might all be killed off by anomalies.

……

Counterintuitively, the dark environment sometimes even made people feel a sense of stability.

Compared to anomalies running amok in the containment center, not knowing when one might suddenly appear and take their life.

Like now, with everything turned ink black, it was actually more bearable for the civilians in the containment center.

Since they couldn’t escape anyway, hiding under the cover of darkness provided some psychological comfort.

Facts proved that the civilians’ action wasn’t wrong.

If the containment center’s casualties could be tallied in real time, one would find that after Lu Bai blackened the entire containment center, the number of civilians killed was no longer skyrocketing like at the start.

“Sequence 167’s clown, huh?”

On the two-meter-wide corridor between the original shelter tents, after Lu Bai resolved the anomaly and a death fighter in front of him together, he paused his actions to catch his breath.

[Points +1, Current Points: 39, Current Rank 1/64]

After half an hour of relentless effort, he had completely cleared the death fighters from Containment Center A Zone and C Zone.

For this, he even gave up resolving some anomalies in those two areas.

Unfortunately, the abilities these death fighters had offered him no help and couldn’t optimize his current ability pool for now.

Fortunately, the points gained were plentiful, and he was close to accelerating the unlock of the Third Round Ability Pool.

Thinking of this, Lu Bai snapped his fingers, dispelling the darkness in the nearby area.

A series of exclamations rang out.

Suddenly regaining vision made the surrounding civilians squint their eyes involuntarily.

Lu Bai showed a kind smile on his face: “Everyone knows me, right? Could someone lend me a mobile phone?”
