My Ability Pool is Superior
Chapter 270 - 269: The Bizarre Battery Thief
"Ah!!! I can’t see! I can’t see!"
"Everyone, don’t panic, stay calm!"
"Watch out!"
"Don’t panic, the more you panic, the more dangerous it gets."
It’s important to know that although these police officers are responsible for handling strange events, it’s just because of their work that they are more knowledgeable about the supernatural, but they are essentially still ordinary people.
Facing supernatural forces, they clearly don’t have much ability to resist.
Even though the mid-aged police officer leading the team kept shouting for everyone to calm down, in reality, his own mood was plummeting to the bottom.
He couldn’t tell what kind of sequence’s strange method this was.
If it’s just a matter of not recognizing it for a moment, that’s fine. But the fear is that this is yet another newly born supernatural phenomenon.
Because they know nothing about the newly descended supernatural entities.
Only after sacrificing countless lives and slowly exploring the habits and rules of the supernatural, can they gradually define ways to cope.
Therefore, whenever a new supernatural phenomenon appears, it basically means it will cause extremely tragic casualties.
The mid-aged police officer still has a strong sense of responsibility. In this kind of situation, he didn’t consider how to survive, but how to retain as much information about this "strange entity" as possible.
Of course,
They were actually scared for nothing.
The darkness created by Lv Bai had silently bypassed the police officers at the park’s entrance. He rode away on his small electric scooter.
...
When he returned to his rented room, Lv Bai casually canceled the dark area at the park’s entrance.
He no longer cared what those police officers who thought they survived a catastrophe would think.
He locked the door, turned on his phone, and prepared to simply understand the situation in this world through the internet.
It’s actually somewhat troublesome for him.
After all, he chose to go out, partly to familiarize himself with the surrounding situation and to see if he might encounter a Death Fighter.
On the other hand, it was because his phone was too old, taking forever to load when opening an app.
He didn’t expect to struggle for almost two hours and have to come back and endure the torture of a broken phone.
Fortunately, Lv Bai wouldn’t experience negative emotions like regret or irritation. He patiently logged into a platform similar to a social media site.
Just on the login screen, it froze for over ten seconds, and when he entered the app’s main interface, there was no response when he swiped twice.
Tortured by the broken phone for a long time.
He eventually found out about the situation in this world.
As it turns out, it was pretty much as he guessed.
This world indeed had some peculiar supernatural entities.
But these supernatural entities didn’t seem to be native creatures of this world, but rather descended on a large scale one day two years ago.
Especially in the early stage of the supernatural descent, during that one month’s time, the human population on the entire planet nearly dropped by half, with some backward small countries even directly wiped out in this supernatural turmoil.
In order to deal with such a crisis that threatened the extinction of humanity, several major countries had to put aside past grudges and jointly established a Crisis Response Committee to share intelligence on the supernatural entities.
As people became more familiar with the supernatural, they reluctantly stabilized the near-collapse situation.
Yet even so, the supernatural has become humanity’s number one problem.
They are willing to slow societal development just to allocate funds for supernatural events as much as possible.
However, pessimistically, these measures are just prolonging the inevitable.
There are no effective means to eliminate the supernatural, meaning that sooner or later, they will completely overtake the remaining human activity areas.
Incidentally, the Crisis Response Committee has also listed the currently known supernatural entities.
Ranked according to the level of threat they pose.
This ranking doesn’t indicate the strength of their methods, but purely reflects how big their threat is to humanity.
For instance, the slender ghostly shadow that only kills one person at a time is far less threatening to humanity than the dream killer Freddy, who can affect thousands at once.
The sequence of the former is 103, while the latter’s sequence is 45.
Though their sequences differ greatly, it’s hard to say which one’s method is actually stronger.
...
The darkness dissipated before his eyes.
The mid-aged police officer tightly gripped the gun in his hand, knowing that it couldn’t harm the supernatural, but it was the only thing that provided psychological comfort when alone facing the supernatural.
"What exactly happened?" He looked around with his gun, wary of the surrounding situation.
As their vision was restored, many of the officers present were dumbfounded.
They imagined the supernatural might kill them in the dark, and also thought maybe it would trick them into following some bizarre rules.
They never expected nothing to happen like this. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
They counted the number of people present, not one was missing.
The officers had all mentally prepared to sacrifice themselves, yet it turned out to be nothing, the drastic contrast between despair and relief made the officer with glasses slump to the ground.
No one would laugh at him, because everyone felt more or less the same.
The mid-aged officer swallowed hard, scanning each of his team members: "Are you... all okay?"
He even suspected he was still caught in the hallucination of some unknown supernatural phenomenon.
The officer who was on sentinel duty earlier patted his head, then his arm.
"Seems like, there’s nothing wrong."
"I’m a bit dazzled, is it...?"
"Idiot, when you linger in the dark for a long time, you’ll naturally get dazzled seeing light suddenly."
Soon, an officer noticed the small electric scooter parked at the park entrance was gone.
Pointing to where the scooter used to be, he exclaimed: "Look guys!"
The corner of the mid-aged officer’s mouth twitched, his mind was a mess.
He took a deep breath, reluctantly accepting that the unknown supernatural might have a fondness for electric bicycles.
He waved his hand and said, "Stay back a bit, maybe this unknown supernatural might still make a move."
The officers present stayed at the park perimeter until the next morning.
The personnel from the expert group have arrived, using some tested methods to determine how far the activity range of the "Old Man Tour Guide" supernatural has expanded.
As for the officers’ report on the electric scooter-stealing supernatural, while it was taken seriously too, no traces of existence were found, nor any sense of the supernatural.
After all, a supernatural entity that doesn’t kill but only steals electric scooters...
Sounds kind of funny.
Taking advantage of the daytime, the action department personnel fastened an iron chain around themselves, lined up in a single snake formation, bravely headed into the park’s interior.
Soon they discovered scattered blackened objects around a public bench.
But there wasn’t any pungent burnt smell, instead, there was a slight scent of incense.
According to their understanding of the "Old Man Tour Guide," people who were targeted would disappear without a trace.
Momentarily, the leading personnel of the action department fell into deep thought.
"What are these things?"
