My Ability Pool is Superior

Noticing the tall, thin ghost by the road, the staff member wearing glasses, even though he was already scared with his back chilled, still did not completely forget his duties.

With strong willpower, he turned his head and waved to the crowd that had already started to riot, hoping that the civilians present could quickly evacuate.

Seeing the civilians evacuating in panic, the staff member then mustered his courage and glanced back at the tall, thin ghost again.

However, what terrified him was that the tall, thin black figure had already left its original position by the time he turned his head.

Like flickering, it shortened the distance between them by nearly half.

As if it would appear in front of the staff member in the next second.

……

At this moment, the temporary command center in the containment center was also in chaos.

A large amount of noisy sounds filled the command post.

Turning the command post, which should have been solemn and efficient, into a scene like a market now.

The action department has always been active on the front lines dealing with anomalies, so their psychological endurance when facing anomalies is naturally stronger than that of ordinary people.

But now no one could stay calm.

Not only because multiple anomalies appeared, but also because they had never seen a situation like this.

Anomalies appearing collectively like this for team building was simply unheard of.

It must be known that since anomalies appeared in this world, apart from the initial ignorance causing heavy casualties.

The subsequent casualties were actually not severe enough to affect the continuation of human civilization.

Those anomalies with fixed activity scopes, as long as one doesn’t stubbornly enter their activity area, there is no danger even living nearby.

The rest was nothing more than a few thousand or tens of thousands of people dying every day.

It sounds like a lot, but under humanity’s vast population base, this number is far less than the daily natural deaths.

And these daily casualty data mostly come from those randomly appearing anomalies.

Based on this, the anomalies higher in the sequence in the List of Anomalies are all types without fixed activity scopes.

Among them, naturally including Kayako at sequence 13, Slit-Mouthed Woman at sequence 21, and tall, thin ghost at sequence 32.

Moreover, according to the news received so far, the anomalies that appeared in the containment center seem to be more than just these three.

What does humanity have to resist with?

“Quiet!”

Seeing that the disturbance in the temporary command center did not subside, but intensified instead.

Minister Zhang had to step forward to maintain the situation: “Do you think panicking like this will make the anomalies leave on their own?”

Hearing this, the Bald Director of Lu Bao Bureau steadied his breathing and said softly: “Minister, I have already sent someone to notify Master Lu.”

Minister Zhang nodded and turned to look at the robust middle-aged man to his right.

“Team Leader Lin, continue to have your team handle the civilians’ evacuation.”

The middle-aged man called Team Leader Lin responded loudly.

“Yes.”

Minister Zhang did not waste time and immediately turned his head to issue orders to another high-level official after instructing.

As Minister Zhang methodically issued various orders.

Under his calm and unhurried attitude, the atmosphere of helplessness in the temporary command center was swept away.

Think about it, unlike the initial descent of anomalies when there was no power to fight back, the action department now has intelligence on most anomalies on the List of Anomalies.

Moreover, there is a guardian god that can specifically deal with anomalies.

The current situation, no matter how bad, is much better than the beginning.

……

Family Courtyard, study room.

“Look outside?”

Hearing the twist and turn words, Lu Bai casually glanced out the window.

Probably to ensure Lu Bai’s quality of life, the family courtyard assigned to him had excellent sound insulation.

Even though the containment center was already in chaos due to the anomalies, the study room was still eerily quiet.

“Humanity has no future.”

The mad playful voice of twist and turn rang out again: “As long as we are willing, we can completely exterminate humanity at any time.”

Lu Bai formed a sword finger and drew a circle, fully activating the effect of the three yellow talismans surrounding twist and turn.

After strengthening the imprisonment effect on twist and turn, he was about to speak and continue inquiring.

But his body suddenly felt a chill down the spine.

That fear surging into his heart like a tide was not influenced by human will; the deep fear made him clearly hear his own heartbeat.

Crack~

The sound of a wooden stick breaking rang crisply in his ears.

Looking toward the sound, it was a monster nearly four meters tall, completely pressing against the ceiling of the study room.

Its body was pieced together from a pile of branches and wooden sticks, covered with a tattered large black robe, with a dry-feathered crow perched on each shoulder, and a straw hat on its head covering its face.

But this did not reassure anyone; the unknown appearance instead more easily triggered the hidden fear in people’s hearts.

It must be said, Lu Bai happened to know this anomaly.

Sequence 85—Terror Straw Hat Scarecrow.

It seems from the sequence that this anomaly’s threat level is not too great.

After all, in the records of the List of Anomalies, the Terrifying Scarecrow is clearly an anomaly with a fixed activity scope.

But its appearance at this moment confirmed one thing for Lu Bai.

The so-called fixed activity scope was just people’s wishful thinking.

The reason these anomalies don’t wander everywhere is purely because they don’t want to.

The Terrifying Scarecrow’s eyes fixed on twist and turn flashed twice under the shadow of the straw hat.

It seemed dissatisfied that twist and turn was so easily controlled by Lu Bai, thinking it was somewhat embarrassing.

Moments later, the Terrifying Scarecrow turned its head back toward Lu Bai’s position.

Emitting an unpleasant noise like weeds rubbing together.

“It told you, right?”

“If you’re asking about pulling me into the group, then yes, it mentioned it.”

A smile unconsciously appeared on Lu Bai’s face.

In fact, due to his body’s special condition, when he smiled like this unconsciously, although it seemed somewhat mocking on the surface, it actually meant he had become serious, with no extra energy left for expression management.

“Rustle~ Looks like you refused then.”

The Terrifying Scarecrow raised its two-meter-long branch arm.

Bang bang bang!

Coincidentally, the house door of the study room rang with urgent knocking sounds, as if on cue.

Immediately following was Captain Mao’s anxious shouting.

“Master Lu, Master Lu, are you inside?”

“Very sorry to disturb you, but we really need your help now; many anomalies have appeared in the containment center.”

“Master Lu?! I’m coming in!”
