My Ability Pool is Superior-Chapter 49 - 48: Can’t Hit Him?
Administrative building, sixth floor.
A Death Fighter with a face full of stubble pushed open the heavy conference hall doors, hurrying toward the emergency exit.
As he reached the corner of the T-shaped corridor, his steps paused.
"Who are you?"
While speaking, the stubble-faced man’s right hand had already slipped into his pocket.
"A name is just a code. As the saying goes, Shang Yang knows a horse’s strength, Bi Gan sees a person’s heart..."
Lv Bai drew the Eight-sided Han Sword and smiled kindly, "If you get the chance to spend more time with me, you’ll know I’m a good person." 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
"Hehe, do you think I still have a chance?" The stubble-faced man seemed to unintentionally raise his voice.
Thud~
The stubble-faced man’s head rolled onto the corridor floor, rolling over twice before stopping.
"Apparently not."
Lv Bai stepped over the stubble-faced man’s body, leaving these words.
The stubble-faced man intentionally shouted loudly, indicating that he believed someone was likely to hear.
Strangely, during this time, there was no sound coming from the conference hall.
Lv Bai reached the solid wooden conference doors and pushed them open.
At first glance, he saw the high school student seated at the head of the conference table and Ah Gu sitting to the student’s right.
He glanced at the projector beside them playing footage of the battle downstairs, then walked to the conference table, pulling out a chair as if hosting the meeting, and sat down.
With an innocent smile, he asked warmly, "Won’t you say something?"
"Seems like you’ve taken care of the Zhu Brothers. You’re much more formidable than I imagined." Ah Gu praised with a cultured demeanor.
"You’re too kind."
Lv Bai smiled and nodded, glancing at Duan Jianhui, "This must be Hui?"
Bang!
Before he could finish speaking, a gunshot rang out abruptly, echoing in the conference hall.
A blood hole appeared on Ah Gu’s forehead, fresh blood gushing out, and as his body slumped naturally, a smile of admiration remained on his face.
[Ding!]
[...Current points: 26...]
Lv Bai put away a certain hawk’s gun, sincerely apologizing to Duan Jianhui, "Sorry, I warned him before not to run around."
Duan Jianhui’s expression froze for a moment before quickly returning to normal.
"Aren’t you being quite arrogant?"
"Which law says you can’t be arrogant?"
Lv Bai scratched his head, chuckling naively, "It’s quieter than the racket you guys make."
"Though I didn’t like him much either, he could at least act as surveillance. You taking him down in front of me is a bit of a disrespect."
Lv Bai chuckled, "What are you planning to do?"
Duan Jianhui remained silent for a moment, then took out two USB drives from his pocket, placing them on the table.
"These USB drives are 256GB and 128GB, which one do you want?"
Lv Bai raised his right hand to nose level, then clenched it into a fist, "I want them all."
"Hehe, don’t be so greedy."
Duan Jianhui gave a faint, ambiguous smile, making it hard to tell if he was mocking or otherwise.
He continued, "Actually, we’ve met before."
Lv Bai’s smile faded slightly, "The school bathroom?"
Duan Jianhui nodded, "Seems you’ve remembered, the first rule warned us never to get emotionally involved with the natives. So I’m curious why you’d deal with these natives and even reveal the death match to them?"
As he spoke, he played with one of the USB drives in his hand.
"Want to know what’s inside? Let me remind you, their situation can’t be delayed."
"How’s the clarity?" Lv Bai suddenly asked an irrelevant question.
Duan Jianhui was slightly taken aback, "Don’t worry, it’s HD."
Lv Bai sighed, his tone full of regret.
"I downloaded a 1080p video a few days ago, and there were only three people in it."
Duan Jianhui: "?" 1080p and you’re breeding here?!
Crash!
Lv Bai slashed down heavily with his sword.
Wood splinters flew, dust rose, and the solid wood rectangular conference table was split in two.
Lv Bai didn’t bother with the "Node" that fell under the conference table, but stood contemplative, holding the Eight-sided Han Sword.
Because he could feel that his sudden, explosive strike hadn’t actually hit Duan Jianhui.
Based on previous experience, an ambush using [Flash Time] shouldn’t leave anyone able to react.
Duan Jianhui reappeared in the chair, as if he had never vanished.
Casually rising from the chair, he walked to Lv Bai, picked up the USB, "I’m not satisfied with your response, but it doesn’t matter. I’m quite interested in seeing your reaction when you see their bodies."
Lv Bai wasn’t concerned about Duan Jianhui’s words. After all, it wasn’t the first time a Death Fighter had threatened him with Wu Ya and the others.
He was puzzled why these Death Fighters believed they were so important to him, when all he was doing was repaying a favor.
He just couldn’t understand the Death Fighters’ mentality.
Moreover, it wasn’t certain if any of this was true.
Lv Bai couldn’t be bothered to argue with Duan Jianhui, suddenly exerting force in his arms, the swift sound of air tearing rang out once more, the Eight-sided Han Sword cutting a semicircular arc through the air.
As expected,
Duan Jianhui remained unharmed, not even dodging, nonchalantly holding the USB drive between two fingers.
"By the looks of it, they have only a few more minutes left in this beautiful world."
...
Second floor, emergency passage.
"We can retreat now." Fei Xiao, having emptied his magazine, tossed his automatic rifle aside.
One of the Ten Blades hesitated upon hearing this, "Shouldn’t we notify the Investigation Corps?"
Fei Xiao immediately sneered, "Let them wear each other down first."
His reasoning was simple.
From a broad perspective, the current Death Fighter numbers were roughly 2:1:1.
The Investigation Corps already had the advantage in numbers, why help the strong eliminate the weak?
If they weren’t all under the Investigation Corps’ scrutiny, he would have allied with Lv Bai and the others long ago.
Of course, the current situation wasn’t bad either.
If the Investigation Corps eliminated the surviving Death Fighter alliance, but suffered significant losses themselves, all the better.
"Isn’t that bad? Hui’s ability group is terrifyingly strong." That member was still hesitant.
Another, rounder member slapped him on the head, "Damn, just go, will you?"
The Ten Blades quickly reached a consensus, and under Fei Xiao’s lead, they rushed deeper into the corridor.
The inexplicable ceasefire above made the troops in the staircase uneasy, unsure of their intentions.
Quiet persisted for half a minute.
The soldier in front, holding a riot shield, couldn’t resist peeking out, quickly retracting.
After probing, still no movement behind the emergency passage door, he then proceeded upstairs, shield in hand.
