My Ability Pool is Superior-Chapter 114 - 113: Smooth Combo

Hearing the commotion not far away, Pu Guangrong’s expression tightened.

He scolded the young officer beside him, "What are you doing? Didn’t I tell you to evacuate the residents on this road quickly?"

As he spoke, he turned around to find a small path, trying to quickly pass through this area of residential houses.

His reaction was quite normal, after all, up to this point, the police had discovered dozens of bodies in the old city area.

Many of the victims died in bizarre ways, making it hard to believe that there was only one killer, Lv Bai.

Regardless of how many killers there actually were, the danger was undeniable; it would be best to evacuate all the residents from the old city quickly.

...

As time passed, the sky gradually brightened, a pale light tinged the clouds.

Lv Bai shook the blood from his Long Teeth, looking up towards where the sun was rising.

Considering the higher risks of night actions, the police’s night operations were not aggressive when facing dangerous thugs with weapons.

Anyway, from the police’s standpoint, all the alleys had been blocked off, and the suspect couldn’t just sprout wings and fly away, so there was no need to take risks.

"Dawn is nearing."

Lv Bai withdrew his gaze, stepping over a headless corpse with a brutal death manner.

This was the third parasitic creature he encountered tonight, and even the times the police had blocked his path were fewer than this.

Of course, part of the reason could be that the police were mainly busy evacuating the residents of the old city.

But even if the police’s actions were relatively conservative, compared to parasitic creatures and Death Fighters, they still had the numbers on their side.

Thankfully, the police acted collectively, so their actions were not hard to notice.

As long as he was careful, it was quite easy to avoid them in advance.

Hiding in an alley, Lv Bai waited for a team of officers to pass before stepping out again.

According to his occasional observations, the police search teams didn’t seem to have any pattern, and the only certainty was that once a house was searched, it wouldn’t be searched again shortly.

However, even that’s enough.

He arrived at a two-story house.

The front door of this house was ajar, and the family inside had long evacuated.

He pushed open the door, casually closing it behind him.

He planned to rest in this house for a while; the human body was still too weak, just two days without sleep and his eyes were already bloodshot.

He hung a bell inside the doorway as a simple alarm device, then collapsed onto the sofa and fell asleep.

...

Ring~

Lv Bai slept for about half an hour before being awakened by the clear sound of the bell.

He didn’t wake up grumpy, but his restless sleep made him want to take out all the guys seeking him out.

"Good morning." A woman in a tight tank top and yoga pants greeted Lv Bai.

Her skin was a healthy tan, with noticeably developed biceps.

And she was followed by three well-built men.

They looked like a group assembled from a gym, as if the next thing they’d do is ask Lv Bai if he wanted to join.

"I truly don’t understand." 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Lv Bai summoned Long Teeth, displaying an exceedingly kind smile: "Why do you choose this moment if you’re seeking death?"

Before the words faded, deep pitch-blackness spread from where he stood.

Then he moved, activating [Flash Time] during his knife-wielding advance.

Long Teeth swept across.

Two sturdy men were instantly decapitated, not even having the chance to scream.

This combo, which Lv Bai used multiple times, never failed him.

The remaining man and woman were engulfed in darkness, not even knowing their two teammates were already eliminated, only hearing two heavy thuds.

Lv Bai paused for a second, waited for the cooldown, then swung his blade again.

[Ding!]

[Points +8, current points: 94, current rank 1/73]

The Deathmatch System’s mechanical prompts recorded everything faithfully.

Lv Bai waved away the dark air.

Four Death Fighters with Golden Level abilities came for him and didn’t even have the chance to use theirs before being wiped out.

This was quite normal.

After all, during [Flash Time], they simply couldn’t react, not to mention [All Ink] deprived them of their vision.

This kind of battle was purely a dimensional reduction attack.

Indeed, [All Ink] actually blackened the surrounding air, and just a few steps forward brought back the light.

But the problem was those Death Fighters didn’t know this.

No matter who, in the instant of suddenly losing sight, their first reaction is always to stand still, remaining alert to any sounds around.

Subconsciously thinking this was safer.

But it was precisely this action that made it incredibly easy for Lv Bai to cut them down.

"I was thinking of sleeping a bit longer."

He put away Long Teeth, went to the window, and looked at the sky: "I might as well start directly..."

...

At the alley entrance, the bustle continued.

Because of the daylight, there were even more onlookers outside the police cordon.

Voices filled with discussion and sobs mixed together, making the scene annoyingly noisy.

"Let me take a look!"

"Please, let me in, I beg you, my son hasn’t come out yet, he just started middle school..."

"Can you hurry up already, what are you waiting for?"

"We spent so much taxpayer money, is it just to have you stand around in a daze?"

Whenever an officer carried out a body bag filled to bursting, a crowd of residents would rush forward, asking in a cacophony of voices about the deceased’s appearance.

They feared the dead were relatives yet also feared not hearing any news of their families.

Suddenly, a middle-aged woman with tear-streaked face pounced on another woman, pounding her shoulder repeatedly.

"You bastard, boohoo... My son is still so young; he must have been lured away by your bad seed. If anything happens to my son, I’ll have your whole family pay with their lives! Boohoo!"

The other woman, equally grief-stricken, quickly exploded, waving her fists in retaliation.

"You’re worried, I’m also worried. My kid’s always been well-behaved and got good grades, all goaded by your kid."

Seeing the two mothers start fighting, the crowd quickly intervened to break them up.

The commotion was too big for the police to ignore.

Noticing that the ones causing trouble were women, Pu Guangrong specifically assigned a female officer to appease them.

"Neighbors see each other all the time, you two shouldn’t throw your dignity away like this."

An elderly, highly respected man stepped forward to dissuade them, managing to separate the two mothers.

The female officer hadn’t even approached when she called out, "You two calm down first, let’s talk it over, don’t start fighting."

The elderly, respected man nodded approvingly, "Yes, everyone listen to this lady police officer."

Female officer: "..."

She paused for a moment, then asked, "Why are you two fighting?"

Yet, upon asking, no one answered her.

The two mothers lifted their heads, as if petrified.
