My Ability Pool is Superior

Chapter 296: Stay Behind



Just like when a person is focused on work at their workstation, their attention won’t be placed elsewhere.

If they need something, they will conveniently pull open the drawer, reach in to feel around, and take it out.

Lu Bai did the same.

What astonished him was that he had clearly reached into that Yellow Cloth Bag, yet he did not feel the touch of various tools as before.

Instead, it was a cold plastic texture.

He subconsciously withdrew his hand from the Yellow Cloth Bag and looked down, discovering that the pads of his fingers were still stained with a few strands of white substance.

It was like liquid, but so viscous that one could clearly feel the hardness within it.

Lu Bai’s brain was fine; he knew there was no such thing in the bag, not to mention this was a world with Anomaly existence.

He decisively stood up and retreated half a step, while his other foot conveniently kicked the Yellow Cloth Bag.

What he had not anticipated was that the bag seemed to have no weight at all; its opening faced upward as it floated and slowly fell to the ground.

During the time the Yellow Cloth Bag fell to the ground, a white humanoid substance detached from the bag’s opening.

At first glance, this seemed to be a white Figure constantly distorting and wriggling.

Although the distance was very close, it was impossible to see clearly no matter what, making one unable to help wanting to widen their eyes to see what this thing really was.

The moment such an idea arose in Lu Bai’s mind, his whole body shuddered; he gritted his teeth and turned his head, forcibly shifting his attention away from that white Figure.

According to the situation he understood, this kind of Twist and Turn Anomaly would silently influence witnesses.

Before confirming whether he could crack it, for the sake of caution, it was still better not to look directly at this white Figure.

The twisting and turning Shake produced no Movement at all; after shifting his gaze, it was impossible to tell whether it was still continuing to twist.

Many times, Fear is born from such unknowns.

The Fear gradually crawling over his heart, along with the inexplicable urge to turn his head to Observe, continuously assaulted Lu Bai’s Reason like tides.

Just one look?

Just one look.

Just one look and immediately shift the gaze…

It was as if little people in his brain were constantly chanting these words; even the most determined person would find it hard to control themselves from looking.

Lu Bai bit the tip of his tongue hard, using the Pain to barely sober himself a bit, then immediately chanted an incantation and formed a hand seal, slapping his Forehead three times.

With this Clear Heart Incantation, although somewhat simple, the cluttered thoughts in his head still dissipated a lot.

Even so, Lu Bai still did not turn his head to look at that white Figure; he silently pondered countermeasures, even slowing his breathing.

This made the Study Room Quiet, becoming so silent that one could hear a pin drop.

If someone were standing at the Entrance at this moment, they would see such a Quiet scene that was somewhat comical.

Twist and Turn continuously distorted and wriggled in the center of the Study Room, like a humble dancer posturing flirtatiously, hoping the benefactor would look at it more.

In this Silence, a few minutes passed quickly.

Lu Bai originally thought it would remain in a stalemate like this, but unexpectedly, a sudden giggling Sound that rang out from nowhere broke the Study Room’s Silence.

“You humans are indeed not simple.”

Hearing this Sound, Lu Bai’s eyebrows slightly raised, and a Smile unconsciously appeared on his face.

However, he did not turn his head, maintaining his back-to-Twist and Turn posture, and asked in a tone restraining his amusement: “So you can Speak too.”

Research in the Action Department shows that the vast majority of Anomalies have no possibility of Communication; they usually kill humans at the first moment, without giving any opportunity to Speak.

It was worth mentioning that Lu Bai had only been in this world for a short time, yet he had already seen quite a few speaking Anomalies.

Moreover, from the words these Anomalies said, it seemed they could exchange Intelligence with each other.

“Would you Speak to Food?”

Twist and Turn was still continuously distorting and wriggling, but it restrained the giggling tone in its Sound, making it lack obvious fluctuations.

“Reasonable, I wrongly blamed you.”

Hearing Twist and Turn’s words, Lu Bai nodded in Approval, then Inquired: “So what do you mean by Speaking to me now?”

“We recognize your ability; you are no longer Food. We allow you to share this world with us.”

Twist and Turn’s words sounded quite sincere.

But Lu Bai did not pay attention to its overture; instead, he focused on the word “we” in its words.

In fact, in the two years since the Anomaly Descent, although the Action Department had tried every means to explore Anomaly Intelligence, they had found no evidence indicating that Anomalies had an Organization.

If this News leaked out, it would probably cause an unimaginable uproar.

After all, if Anomalies acted alone, optimistically speaking, they could be seen as ferocious Beasts—dangerous, but with enough Luck, there was still a chance to live to die of old age.

But if Anomalies had Contact with each other, it was a completely different concept.

It had become a contest between two Civilizations.

With those means of Anomalies that were impossible to fathom.

It could be said that humanity’s continuation was purely because Anomalies had not gone all out.

Lu Bai thoughtfully rubbed his Chin and said: “What if I refuse?”

“Then you refuse our goodwill, and you will regret it.”

During the Speaking, Twist and Turn’s white Figure began to gradually fade.

From solid to plastic texture.

It was as if Lu Bai had eyes on the back of his head; he sensed this out of thin air.

He suddenly turned around, with three Yellow Talismans clamped between his index and middle fingers at some point.

At the same time as turning, the three Yellow Talismans flew out as if possessed, precisely forming an equilateral triangle that enclosed Twist and Turn.

Lu Bai’s feet also moved immediately, stepping in a strange pace.

Chaotic and complex, yet carrying a unique sense of harmonious beauty.

—Stepping on the Big Dipper.

Under his stepping, the three Yellow Talismans Emerged with brilliant, warm Golden Light.

With Lu Bai’s series of Actions, Twist and Turn, which had faded almost to the point of completely Disappearing, now rapidly solidified like a rebound from the bottom.

But even upon noticing the Effect had taken hold, Lu Bai still did not look directly at Twist and Turn; he turned his face sideways, merely Observing with the corner of his eye.

Discovering that it had been kept behind, Twist and Turn’s Sound immediately became giggling like at the beginning.

“What is this?”

“Want to learn?” Lu Bai’s tone unconsciously carried amusement.

“You think you’ve won?”

Twist and Turn’s wriggling Figure never stopped for a moment, threatening: “Go out and see outside. I told you, you will regret it…”
