My Ability Pool is Superior

Lu Bai didn’t rush to make a sound to alert the other party, even keeping his breathing at the frequency of normal sleep.

He was genuinely a bit puzzled at the moment.

He could understand a replicant wanting to secretly kill a death fighter.

But the problem was, why target him?

He clearly still had the ability to use his ability.

As for this kind of assassination, success aside.

Even retreating ten thousand steps, even if successful, without him, wouldn’t their status in the Containment Center also revert to refugee status?

No matter from which angle, dealing with him at a time like this wasn’t a good decision.

Unable to quite understand the other’s thought process, Lu Bai reached out and pressed the button at the bedside, turning on the lights in the room.

Pa~

The next second, even with Lu Bai’s mental endurance, he couldn’t help but feel a bit shocked.

He discovered he had actually seen wrong.

The guy who had already come to the side of his bed wasn’t some tall, burly man.

The reason he had seen wrong was purely because the other’s four limbs were all anomalously distorting, making them appear large in the darkness.

The part of the face exposed outside the mask was distorted even more crazily.

Not a single normal spot, the whole face like coffee carving, with the corners of the eyes stretched down below the mask.

Yet in such a distorted state, the guy in front could still maintain a humanoid shape, making anyone who saw it feel a chill down the spine, able to sense an extreme uncanny valley effect.

The other had the “Flying Swallow Continuous Strike” title on his head, indicating this guy’s identity was indeed a death fighter.

Lu Bai still remembered that this title belonged to Liu Guoqiang, who had crazily toasted him during dinner.

His ability had clearly been read and disabled long ago, so why could he still show such a non-human side.

Could it be some anomaly’s doing?

The distorted Liu Guoqiang wasn’t deterred by the suddenly lit lights, as if feeling nothing at all, still silent as if in darkness.

He saw him with distorted movements, slowly raising his arm, pointing the sharpened iron rod at Lu Bai’s neck, firmly stabbing down.

Though Lu Bai was shocked by Liu Guoqiang’s appearance, he didn’t completely freeze, rolling off to the other side of the bed.

“No, you…?”

It seemed he realized the prey had escaped, and Liu Guoqiang’s already distorted face showed an even more contorted expression.

His twisting and swaying feet were like twisting in some social shake dance step, wriggling slowly toward Lu Bai.

Lu Bai somewhat headachingly pressed his temple.

He hadn’t sensed any yin energy from Liu Guoqiang, could it be another entity-possessing anomaly?

Not knowing what the situation was, and not wanting to touch with his hands.

He tentatively picked up the solid wood bedside cabinet and smashed it on Liu Guoqiang’s head.

Bang~

A muffled sound.

The smashing feedback from the bedside cabinet made him feel no different from smashing a normal person.

And the effect was stronger than he expected.

Liu Guoqiang even retreated half a step in pain.

Seeing this, Lu Bai simply continued using the bedside cabinet to repeatedly beat him.

After a few rounds, Liu Guoqiang was directly smashed to the ground by him, head broken and bleeding, having difficulty even crawling up.

However, even smashed like this, Liu Guoqiang’s four limbs were still irregularly twisting, just like a yellow eel pulled out of the water.

Lu Bai let out a breath of relief.

This kind of unknown anomaly threat wasn’t really that big.

He casually tossed the bedside cabinet aside, preparing to approach and check Liu Guoqiang’s situation.

At that moment, a piercing exclamation suddenly came from the adjacent side room.

If he had to describe it with something, it was more like a tough guy sleeping with his bro, groggily feeling the bro touching his butt, the instinctive terrified yell.

Lu Bai looked up toward the direction of the scream, blinked his eyes.

“Not just one?”

……

After some commotion, the sky had already started to show fish-belly white.

“This… where exactly did they get hit?”

Zhou Lei stared at the three bound death fighters in front of him, his gaze full of shock.

Worth mentioning, all three death fighters including Liu Guoqiang were extremely anomalously twisting their limbs.

Even tightly bound to the tree trunks, they couldn’t stop their muscles from twisting.

“Their twisting frequencies aren’t quite the same.”

Feng Qian squatted under the tree shade, unable to resist wanting to investigate what this thing was.

The other death fighters were also curiously gathered around observing, one of them even with a lingering fear expression.

Lu Bai was sitting on a rattan chair, thoughtfully rubbing his chin.

He didn’t make them wait too long.

Captain Mao rushed over with a team from the Action Department.

But at this time point, the most fatigued time of the day for the human body, Captain Mao looked unavoidably a bit sleepy.

He strode quickly into the yard, immediately drawn to the three death fighters bound to the tree trunks, forgetting to salute Lu Bai.

“Captain Mao, do you recognize them?”

Lu Bai beckoned to him.

Captain Mao then managed a smile: “Master Lu, let me confirm first.”

With that, he lit a cigarette to perk up, approached, and carefully observed the situation of these three death fighters.

After all, before Lu Bai appeared, he was a professional who frequently contacted anomalies.

No need to look too closely, from the symptoms of these three death fighters, he quickly locked onto the suspect anomaly.

But precisely because he confirmed this, his already sleepy face showed even more anxiety.

“Master Lu…”

Captain Mao looked around, deciding to communicate with Lu Bai first.

Stepping to the side of the rattan chair, he said in a low voice: “If nothing unexpected, the anomaly causing this should be Sequence 43’s Twist and Turn.”

“Uh, twist what?”

Lu Bai was stunned for a moment.

“Twist and Turn, that’s the codename we gave this anomaly.”

Captain Mao thought for a moment, simply explaining: “No one can accurately describe this anomaly’s appearance, because everyone who has seen this anomaly will fall into this crazily twisting state, unable to communicate…”

After hearing this, Lu Bai understandingly nodded.

Compared to some entity-possessing or yin energy anomalies.

This so-called Twist and Turn was more like an invisible, intangible curse.

“At first I didn’t dare confirm, because in all current known information, the Twist and Turn anomaly should only appear in rural areas.”

Captain Mao’s brows were furrowed deeply, the creases seemingly able to pinch a mosquito to death.

Anomalies whose patterns have been figured out, even if dangerous, are generally controllable.

If anomalies all became like this, then past experience would be completely useless.

But what he feared was that this wasn’t an isolated case, anomalies gradually not playing by the rules, likely another catastrophe.
