My Ability Pool is Superior-Chapter 118 - 117: The Spirit of Craftsmanship

This is indeed the case.

What Lv Bai needs is a tool person with abilities in investigation and searching.

With such a tool person, he can improve the efficiency of hunting Death Fighters.

Simply knowing what a Death Fighter looks like doesn’t mean much to him.

He also didn’t bother dealing with the corpses of these two female Death Fighters and directly pushed the door open to leave.

He wasn’t too disappointed, knowing that this kind of thing depends on luck.

After all, lone wolves probably wouldn’t choose this kind of ability, so it’s better to pin hopes on those group Death Fighters.

Ninety-nine percent of the residents in the old city area have been evacuated, and the surroundings are silent.

If an ordinary person were walking in the alley right now, they’d probably feel a bit creeped out.

Lv Bai naturally wouldn’t scare himself like an ordinary person; instead, he was hoping a Death Fighter would jump out to stop him now.

But then,

He stopped and looked slightly helpless: "I didn’t mean for you to stop me."

A middle-aged couple stood about five or six meters away from him.

The husband among them said respectfully, "You must be Mr. Lv Bai, right? Please forgive us for our rude interruption."

Lv Bai put his hands in his pockets and nodded slightly, signaling for him to continue speaking.

"We have witnessed your greatness, and we deeply regret our previous offense against you. On behalf of all our kind, I sincerely apologize and hope for your forgiveness."

The parasitic being in the husband’s body finished his speech and bowed deeply.

Wherever it learned this spirit of craftsmanship is unknown.

Lv Bai responded noncommittally: "Anything else?"

The husband stood up, still maintaining a certain curve in his back.

It held its hands respectfully in front, adopting a very humble posture: "Thank you very much for taking the time to listen to our request. We sincerely hope to follow you and stand by your side.

We will always be grateful for your kindness and broad-mindedness. This is not coercion; you can express your will at any time, and we will always be with you."

While speaking, it bent its back deeply again: "Once again, we express our respect to you; we are extremely grateful."

The parasitic being in the wife’s body also bowed, adding, "The government building is always ready to welcome your visit. The Mayor and all our kind will receive you wholeheartedly."

Lv Bai remained silent for a moment.

Although he long knew these beings had no sense of shame, their thorough obsequiousness still caught him off guard.

However, if apologies were useful, there would be no need for police.

For now, stabilize them; the primary goal is to eliminate all Death Fighters without unnecessary complications.

He waved his hand: "I understand."

The husband looked up, puzzled: "Please forgive our dullness, what do you mean?"

"I said I understand."

Lv Bai’s face gradually lit up with a bright smile: "I’ll go if I have time."

"Great! Here’s my contact information."

The husband respectfully handed a cellphone to Lv Bai: "Please contact me at your convenience; we all look forward to your visit."

After explaining everything, these two parasitic beings, worried about staying too long and making Lv Bai unhappy, quickly took their leave.

...

Outside the alley, many police cars were still parked.

Over this period, the situation had barely been brought under control.

After all, with so many police at the scene, at least no one on the street dared to go crazy smashing things anymore.

Watching the gossiping onlookers, some officers breathed a sigh of relief, raising their sleeves to wipe the sweat from their foreheads.

But that was about it; the leaders hadn’t received instructions from higher up, leaving the situation stagnant, unsure whether to withdraw the team or continue the capture.

"There’s no way to get in, is there?"

Hiding in the collar outside the yellow-black police line, Wang Ting whispered.

Yao Yi leaned on a crutch, speaking in a low voice: "I have a Special Affairs Bureau ID; I can enter through formal procedures."

"Your leg is still lame, working while sick?"

Wang Ting, rarely making a dark humor, said: "If not, just stay outside. I can sense that there are many of our kind scattered in this old city area; it would be very dangerous if we recklessly went in."

Yao Yi frowned deeply, glancing around.

Suddenly, he paused slightly, shifting his gaze back: "Wait, I think I see Director Xu."

On the other side, Xu Qiang, who Yao Yi had discovered, was standing before the alley entrance, making a call.

Even though Lv Bai had hung up on him once shortly before, he couldn’t just give up like that.

The black text still hanging in the sky hadn’t dissipated, constantly reminding everyone that the threat had not yet been lifted.

After all, from his perspective, he believed that only he could contact Lv Bai now, and the hope of preventing world destruction was placed on his shoulders.

Facing such a heavy task, losing face didn’t matter.

"Hello?" Lv Bai’s voice came from the other end of the phone.

Realizing the call was connected, Xu Qiang felt a surge of excitement.

Fortunately, he was already a mature director and forcibly controlled his emotions: "Lv Bai, you should check online now, the public opinion has reversed, everyone believes you are a good person."

"No need."

Lv Bai’s tone was low: "My career path is not smooth, I’m disheartened. After falling in love with astronomy, I realized the vastness of the universe, the infinity of time and space."

He raised his tone slightly, changing from low to appreciative.

"What is humanity? What are parasitic beings, but ants, dust..."

Hearing this, Xu Qiang turned pale.

He quickly and excitedly said: "No, your position is still kept for you, who told you your career path isn’t smooth?!"

This is indeed the truth; ever since the video of Lv Bai colluding with parasitic beings to kill innocent citizens spread, the internet’s public opinion exploded instantly.

The Special Affairs Bureau was busy collaborating with the police in capturing missions, and truly had no time to cancel Lv Bai’s position.

Moreover, no matter what, even if they had really canceled it, Xu Qiang wouldn’t possibly speak the truth, and he’d have to arrange for Lv Bai to be reinstated.

"Here’s the thing, you must stay calm, everything can be discussed..."

Beep~ beep~ beep~

The busy signal came, leaving Xu Qiang speechless as he opened and closed his mouth stiffly, his mind a blur, fearing the sky would plunge into darkness at any moment.

"Director Xu?"

Yao Yi leaned on a crutch, cautiously approaching.

Xu Qiang still maintained the posture of making a call, subconsciously asking: "Why are you out of the hospital?"

"Director Xu, there are some things you might not know, the woman killed by Brother Lv in the video had tried to take me hostage at the hospital.

So I think there must be more to it, and I want to find Brother Lv to ask in person. I know this might not comply with regulations, but can you allow me to go in..."

Yao Yi’s request was interrupted by Xu Qiang’s immediate, eager response.

"Sure, sure, can you move okay now? Do you need me to assign more people to help you?"
