My Ability Pool is Superior

Although White Shark was a bit curious why Lu Bai was leaving Chikan Bay tomorrow, seeing Lu Bai stride away, he didn’t dare to ask.

Under the reverent gazes of the thugs, Lu Bai walked out of the alley.

“Mr. Lu.”

At the alley entrance, a man dressed in a black suit and wearing sunglasses was standing next to a car, waiting.

Seeing Lu Bai come out of the alley, he nodded calmly: “Done with it?”

This person was the driver arranged by Dao Master.

It was worth mentioning that even after being the driver for so many days, Lu Bai still didn’t even know his name; during this time, there had been basically no communication.

Lu Bai nodded casually, opened the car door, and got in.

The driver helped close the door, went around to the driver’s seat, started the car, and incidentally looked up through the central rearview mirror at Lu Bai in the back seat.

He hesitated for a moment, then said, “Mr. Lu, forgive me for speaking out of turn, but tomorrow is the final deadline, right? You this…”

“Is there a problem?” Lu Bai adjusted to a comfortable sitting position, leaning against the seat back.

“There’s no need for you to waste time like this. You should focus your energy on Dao Master’s mission. After it’s done, joining Dao Sect will be far more useful than your current small-scale tinkering.”

“Relax, relax.”

……

The long night was about to brighten.

A black compact sedan was driving lonely on the road.

“No, Mr. Lu, you really have no plan at all?”

The driver gripped the steering wheel, completely dumbfounded.

He had originally been sleeping soundly at home when Lu Bai called and told him to prepare for action.

He hurriedly drove over to pick up Lu Bai, only to learn on the way to the prison that Lu Bai planned to climb wall and break in.

“Of course there’s a plan. I’m not a brute.”

Lu Bai chuckled as he looked at the scenery rapidly regressing on both sides of the car window.

The driver forced himself to calm down, asking with a bit of his remaining hope: “So what’s the specific plan?”

“Didn’t I say it?”

Lu Bai yawned, rolled down the car window, felt the cool breeze to refresh himself: “Climb wall into the prison, mix into Prison Section A, find Prisoner number 0527, and rescue him.”

At this point, he turned his head to look at the back of the driver’s head.

“Is that not perfect enough?”

“It’s not…”

Hearing this, the driver felt an impulse to immediately brake and turn back: “You call this a plan? A perfect plan?”

Lu Bai patiently reassured: “Don’t worry, I’m terrifyingly strong now.”

The driver took a deep breath, looking at the prison whose outline was already visible in the distance, and said solemnly.

“Mr. Lu, don’t act recklessly. If you really have no grasp, you can ask Dao Master for a few more days’ extension. This kind of thing can’t alert the enemy.”

As soon as these words came out, the smile in Lu Bai’s eyes faded a bit.

“I can stop anytime, but what about Dao Master’s side?”

He said with a hint of teasing in his calm tone: “He’s definitely prepared, right?”

“What?”

“What? Before coming to pick me up, didn’t you report to Dao Master that I was planning to take action?”

Lu Bai waved his hand, continuing: “That’s normal. If it were me, I wouldn’t trust handing this kind of thing completely to a stranger either.

If I guessed right, in Dao Master’s plan, I’m probably the bait, or rather a feint attack? Maybe he’s even leaked the news of my return to the prison to the prison side.”

The driver’s lips moved a couple times, wanting to say something but unable to organize his words for the moment.

“No need to rush to deny it.”

Lu Bai stretched lazily: “I don’t mind, really. I’m quite satisfied with this transaction. I said I’d help rescue the person, and I definitely won’t back out halfway.”

After saying this, the car fell quiet, but this silent atmosphere made the driver feel somewhat uneasy, and he silently sped up.

Soon.

The vehicle stopped a few hundred meters from the prison, all lights turned off, blending into the night.

The driver stared at the steering wheel, not daring to turn back.

“……Any closer and we’ll be discovered. The rest of the way has to be on foot.”

“Thanks for your hard work.”

Lu Bai opened the car door and walked toward the prison.

……

The area around the prison was barren, with no buildings for cover, at most a few half-person-high weeds visible.

Even taking advantage of the night cover, getting close wasn’t easy.

After all, the searchlights on the watchtowers were exceptionally bright, sweeping irregularly around the prison all night.

Of course, this kind of detection method meant little in front of Lu Bai, who mastered Flash Time.

After spending a little time reaching the base of the prison’s high wall, Lu Bai took out his mobile phone to check the prison floor layout map given by Dao Master.

First confirm the position of Prison Section A, then consider climbing the wall.

It had to be admitted that this prison’s safety vigilance was extremely strong, especially after the recent jailbreak incident, which had elevated the alert forces even further.

This naturally included reasons from Lu Bai, but more so from another aspect—

Lu Bai crouched low, climbed onto the wall top, and gazed at the dense ink black opposite.

Yes, he hadn’t dispelled the large area of darkness created with Ink Black inside the prison earlier.

But precisely because of this ink black’s existence, the prison side had to deploy a lot of manpower to ensure no one mixed into the darkness.

Researchers even directly set up tents at the edge of the darkness to study this strange phenomenon up close.

No one could understand what this thing was.

After this period of research, they had only confirmed that this darkness wouldn’t harm the human body, but regarding its cause, the researchers still couldn’t reach a consensus.

Even though Haide Prison Area Chief vowed that this darkness was released by a prisoner, the researchers found it hard to recognize, as fundamentally, this didn’t seem like a power humanity could possess.

“Oh~”

A prison guard under the wall yawned sleepily, nudging his colleague beside him with his shoulder: “What time is it? Shift change soon?”

The other prison guard was equally listless, lazily leaning back against the wall.

“Almost six. Gotta hurry back for some sleep. There’s been so much going on lately.”

“Yeah, even if they want to strengthen vigilance, they can’t treat one person as three, right?”

Lu Bai tiptoed around the barbed wire, making no sound at all.

He estimated the distance, then decisively leaped down from the wall top.

The prison guard leaning against the high wall heard the air whistling from above and subconsciously looked up.

When the human body is in a fatigued state, reactions become much slower.

Though this prison guard saw a hand descending from the sky, he didn’t react in time to call for help.

Thud!

This prison guard became Lu Bai’s human cushion, blood foam spraying from his mouth as he collapsed to the ground.

And the other prison guard had just turned back to speak when Lu Bai chopped his neck with a hand knife, knocking him out on the spot.
