My Ability Pool is Superior-Chapter 117 - 116: Uniting Against a Common Enemy

"Uh... okay, yes, yes, yes."

The police captain, as if granted a reprieve, dared not ask Lv Bai why he took his gun and hurriedly called his team to make a run for it.

They sprinted around two corners, and once they were sure they couldn’t see Lv Bai’s figure anymore, they slowed down their steps, still trembling with fear.

During this time, the police captain felt like his heart was about to leap out of his chest, terrified that Lv Bai might suddenly change his mind and crush their team with a single finger.

A police officer with protruding cheekbones panted heavily and bravely looked back, exclaiming with relief, "It’s a good thing you know Lv Bai, Captain Jia, otherwise we might not have made it out of there alive."

"What are you talking about?"

Captain Jia scolded softly and quickly covered the officer’s mouth with his hand, "That’s Brother Bai."

None of the officers mocked their captain for kneeling so quickly; they all wholeheartedly agreed.

Their words were filled with the joy of narrowly escaping death.

"Yes, yes, Brother Bai."

"To be honest, his aura was terrifying."

"Not to laugh, but I couldn’t even stand properly at that moment."

"Alright," Captain Jia interrupted his officers’ discussion, concluding, "In short, we saw the changes in the sky and suspended the investigation early without encountering Brother Bai. Everyone understand?"

Seeing his officers nodding one by one, Captain Jia was relieved, then explained, "Of course, I don’t think anyone will question it. As long as those above us are of sound mind, this operation can’t possibly continue."

...

The old city district, inside a luxurious house.

In the spacious living room, you could hear a pin drop; silence reigned.

Chang Hu scanned the serious expressions on everyone’s faces, sneering disdainfully, "Why is no one talking? If you’re regretting it, just say so, and I’ll gladly do the hard work and take you all out."

Three high school students who looked somewhat alike exchanged glances.

The eldest of the triplets frowned, intending to refute, but before he could speak,

"Chang Hu, it’s not the time for infighting."

The man with glasses adjusted the frame on his nose, his voice emotionless.

Chang Hu leaned forward, both hands on the table, suddenly smirking, "Infighting? No, no, no, it’s time to deal with the failures after our plan failed."

"It’s not a complete failure; at least we confirmed the abilities Smiling Face possesses." The man with glasses raised an eyebrow.

As Death Fighters, they all understood that the Golden Level ability couldn’t erase the sun; it could only be a form of trickery.

It didn’t matter whether it was large-scale cognitive distortion or some kind of Blinding Technique; either way, it certainly wasn’t an ability that enhanced combat strength.

"Heh, so after all your plotting, you still resort to direct combat in the end." Although Chang Hu was still sneering, his attitude was slightly more proper.

The man with glasses ignored Chang Hu’s words and continued, "The disappearance of the sun lasted about thirty seconds, but the black text in the sky can remain for a long time.

Does the duration depend on the area covered? Or is it intentional by Smiling Face?

If there is no time limit, the strength of this ability should surpass the Golden Level, a combination of abilities? Did Smiling Face retain an ability from the last round?"

"I say, that’s bullshit!"

Chang Hu showed no leniency to the man with glasses, "Do you have any idea how difficult it is to achieve a ’hard to believe’ rating in a Death Fight? Don’t forget, both our showdowns in the last round were ranked number one, and we are still far from getting that rating."

"To be safe, we can’t rule out this possibility."

The man with glasses lightly tapped the table with his finger, "No, let’s take it as true and spread the word."

He turned to look at the triplet brothers beside him.

"The remaining Death Fighters in this Death Arena should all be in the old city district; please inform everyone, Erxi brothers.

Facing a Death Fighter who retained one colored ability, we must unite the remaining Death Fighters."

The man with glasses deliberately emphasized the words "colored ability."

There’s no need to investigate the truth; as long as the remaining Death Fighters unite against a common enemy, it’ll be enough.

"Also, warn everyone that Smiling Face’s display will surely shock the natives in this world. Pressed by survival threats, it’s only natural that the natives will strive to fulfill the demands of Smiling Face."

Hearing this, veins pulsed angrily at Chang Hu’s temples, his entire body exuding an aura that warned others to keep away.

"Indeed, even if we work together, I can’t help but want to kill you."

The man with glasses casually adjusted the frame on his nose.

"No need for such hostility, Brother Chang Hu, you know I’m a journalism major."

...

"I don’t know."

A young girl with cat ears on her head said weakly, "Oh, Smiling Lord, I really didn’t come to cause trouble; I genuinely live here." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Lv Bai chuckled approvingly, then casually swung his blade, beheading the cat-eared girl.

"Ignorance gets you cut."

After a brief conclusion, Lv Bai turned to look at another girl in a floral dress on the other side, "And do you know?"

The floral dress girl, about seventeen or eighteen, looked at Lv Bai in confusion, hesitated for a moment, then softly replied, "I... I’m also not the investigative type..."

Lv Bai nodded, raising the Long Teeth blade in his hand, "Not batting an eye at your partner’s death deserves punishment."

"No, please!"

The floral dress girl almost screamed, hurriedly explaining, "Ah Ying and I have been hiding here since last night. We’ve seen several people suspicious of being Death Fighters pass by. If I go with you, I can definitely recognize them."

Having survived this long, she naturally didn’t want to easily give up. Perhaps by holding on a bit longer, she could get a game-changing ability from the third round’s Ability Pool.

Lv Bai smiled warmly, "You’re clear."

"Then..."

Poof!

Schiiing~

A large gush of blood spurted from the severed neck.

[Ding!]

[Points +4, Current Points: 98, Current Rank: 1/67]

"I was just kidding."

Lv Bai explained briefly to the corpse, then sheathed the Long Teeth and turned to leave the house.

Honestly, merely knowing their appearance didn’t mean much to him.

He wasn’t the head of the Field Department at the Special Affairs Bureau for nothing.

After the Death Fighters’ location data was released, he had meticulously reviewed the resident information of Jiangyu City, remembering the appearances of many who were suspected of being Death Fighters.

Those suspect residents might be mistaken if they appear elsewhere, but if they came to the old city district now, it was definitely a reason for a preemptive strike.
