My Ability Pool is Superior - Chapter 389: Floor 404
Li Shan’s self-cognition is very clear.
At least judging from the various abilities the murderer has shown so far, he can be sure that he can’t catch the murderer by himself, and he can’t even find out who the murderer is.
Plus, new victims could appear at any time, so even if he wants to act tough, he won’t choose to do so at a time like this.
Ding dong~
The elevator door opens, Li Shan steps out of the elevator, taking two steps at a time, and soon arrives at this new crime scene.
After all, not knowing how exactly the murderer controlled the security personnel, he doesn’t rashly enter the room, but stands at the door, cautiously observing everything in the room.
If it weren’t for the five corpses still placed in the room at this moment, it would be completely impossible to see any problem.
Of course, Li Shan knows he could force a security personnel to leave his firearms outside and enter the room alone.
Perhaps doing so could probe some clues, but this approach is a bit too cruel, and unless absolutely necessary, Li Shan still won’t issue such an order.
“Guard the house door, and temporarily don’t let anyone enter this room.”
Anyway, City Martial Direct headquarters has already received Feng Yixuan’s report requesting reinforcements, and after understanding the situation at the scene, they have increased the degree of importance given to this case.
“Did they say who is in this reinforcement troop?”
Being idle anyway, Li Shan asks casually.
Feng Yixuan thinks for a moment and says, “Don’t worry, it’s led by the captain of our City Martial Direct’s fifth team. Once the big boss arrives, we should be able to get off work. I’m starving; after work, I want to go eat at Haidilao.”
Hearing this, Li Shan feels a chill in his heart: “Don’t jinx it.”
……
Yiju City, deep in a remote alley.
Under Lu Bai’s control, the “birdcage” only covers less than ten square meters, completely inconspicuous.
Faced with the birdcage that instantly envelops him, Vice President Zheng has no intention of testing the birdcage’s sturdiness and very calmly accepts his current situation, immediately explaining to Lu Bai how to leave the shelter without hesitation.
He is so proactive that Lu Bai even suspects if this Vice President Zheng is doing it on purpose, to the extent of wanting to tell him this matter.
“……That’s more or less it. It’s not difficult for you. With your Captain Lu’s authority, you should be able to find it by checking the City Martial Direct’s information database.”
Vice President Zheng explains the method to leave the shelter in one breath.
The cigar clamped between his fingers has burned more than half, and only then does he pick it up to take a puff, adding, “But I don’t recommend you check intelligence on this aspect. City Martial Direct’s reading records are archived, unless you plan to leave openly.”
Lu Bai nods, snaps his fingers, and cancels the “birdcage” enveloping the two of them.
After sincerely thanking him, he conveniently strips all the abilities from Vice President Zheng.
Although with the “discard pile,” Lu Bai can find suitable abilities no matter the situation, who would complain about having too many abilities.
“Then, see you around.”
Lu Bai leaves the alley, stands on the commercial street to simply identify the direction, and heads toward the central district of the underground city.
It is worth mentioning that his face, which always seems to carry a smile, is expressionless at this moment.
When he first came to this world, he was curious about the current situation on the surface of this world.
But staying in the shelter for this period made him unintentionally ignore content on this aspect.
Not willing to easily leave the comfort zone is part of human nature, but taking action is one thing, and having the idea is another.
Lu Bai clearly knows that during this time, he never had the thought of leaving.
Thinking about it carefully, it seems a bit terrifying.
Setting aside the days spent in the deathmatch arena, the time he has lived in this underground shelter adds up to only half a year.
In just half a year, it has produced this effect.
During this time, he subconsciously never had the thought of leaving the underground shelter.
If it weren’t for the replicant descending to the shelter reminding him, he very much suspects that if he stayed in the underground city a bit longer, would he even remember that humanity originally lived on the ground?
It feels almost like some subtle ideological interference in the ether.
So what about the people in this underground shelter who have lived here since birth?
They probably formed a solid thought imprint long ago, right?
Regardless of whether some kind of ideological interference really exists, Lu Bai plans to go to the surface to see.
After all, leaving the underground shelter is not much difficulty for him now.
He organizes his thoughts and leisurely walks to the military restricted zone behind the City Hall Building.
In the restricted zone, there is a building over a kilometer high. Looking up from afar, it seems like a pillar connecting heaven and earth, spectacular.
One can’t help but marvel at the building materials science of this world; it’s really somewhat exaggerated.
Lu Bai gazes from afar for a while, then turns to a surveillance blind spot, applies invisibility to himself, and then openly crosses the restricted line in front of numerous vigilant soldiers.
From afar, this building seems very narrow, but upon getting close, one finds that the building’s footprint is not small either. The narrowest floor has an area of two or three mu, but due to the exaggerated height of the building, it appears relatively thin.
Lu Bai stands at the entrance of the building, waiting for someone to enter or exit, seizes the opportunity, and slips into the interior of the building by sticking to the wall.
There aren’t many people in the hall, and no one looks hurried; everyone seems very idle.
“The entrance to the escape elevator to the surface is on the 404th floor.”
Lu Bai recalls the intelligence given by that Vice President Zheng, walks to the elevator area, and waits.
According to Vice President Zheng’s intelligence, this building is constantly guarded by two or more full-strength City Martial Direct troops. The attacks launched by Can Society over the years have never breached above the hundredth floor.
If following formal procedures to enter above the four hundredth floor, the required authority level is at least that of a City Martial Direct general captain; ordinary city councilors don’t even have the qualification to enter.
What exactly each floor of this building does is unknown to Can Society; they only know the confidentiality degree is very high.
But the 404th floor is an exception.
Swiping any internal staff’s ID card allows taking the elevator to the 404th floor.
It doesn’t keep Lu Bai waiting long; soon he encounters a staff member planning to take the elevator upstairs.
In invisible state, Lu Bai follows like a shadow, closely entering the elevator.
He scans the elevator once and activates [Flash Time].
Taking advantage of the fleeting 0.5 seconds, he switches invisibility to mind control and stuffs the pre-prepared settings into this staff member’s brain all at once.
When time starts flowing again, Lu Bai has already returned to invisible state.
And that staff member dazedly presses the button for the 404th floor.
