My Ability Pool is Superior
Chapter 273 - 272: Red Dress
At this moment, it’s already late evening, yet a terrifying scream emerges from the residential building.
Such a sudden situation.
Even those team members from the action department who frequently deal with the supernatural can’t help but feel a bit uneasy.
The citizens who had returned home earlier, after hearing the scream, also hurriedly turned off their lights.
There’s no other choice; ordinary people encountering the supernatural can only hide and pray that it spares them.
In an instant, the community gradually darkened and became silent.
Faintly, a cold wind brushed past, leaving both the mind and body feeling chilly.
For this reason, Captain Mao shouted loudly.
Amidst the chaos, the team members instinctively responded loudly upon hearing their superior’s voice.
"Present!"
"Present!!"
From a psychological perspective, when you feel fear, shouting out loud can greatly alleviate inner tension.
Indeed, this theory proves correct.
The atmosphere visibly grew more intense.
But morale is one thing; what to do is another.
According to the "Action Manual for Supernatural Disasters," when encountering the supernatural, action personnel must first determine the sequence of the supernatural.
Currently, they hear screams indicating someone has been harmed, but it’s still unclear exactly what the supernatural is, meaning someone must step forward to verify the situation.
Li Hanbin stood up and managed to squeeze a difficult smile at Lv Bai: "Don’t be nervous, we will protect you."
Lv Bai didn’t respond, merely nodding perfunctorily and then turning his gaze back toward Building Eight.
Frankly speaking, he didn’t expect supernatural occurrences in this area. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
After all, he left alone last night without encountering any mishaps; this sudden emergence of the supernatural could only have descended on the area today.
"Stay calm."
Captain Mao shouted, then continued: "Everyone, stay together, follow me."
Upon saying this, he led the team toward Building Eight.
Judging from the direction of the screams, the supernatural should be on the fourth floor.
A group of people stood downstairs waiting for a while.
The supernatural did not appear, forcing them to brave entering the stairwell.
The stairwell was terrifyingly quiet; Captain Mao took out his military flashlight, walking at the front, slowly ascending the steps.
Li Hanbin stood on the open ground outside Building Eight, staring fiercely at the fourth-floor window.
Just as everyone’s nerves were taut, a room on that floor suddenly lit up with red light, as deep red as blood.
Outside the building, the action department personnel simultaneously pointed their gun barrels at that room.
"Come out quickly!"
Someone immediately shouted.
In fact, even without shouting, Captain Mao was already prepared to lead the team out of the stairwell.
Because at the moment the red light illuminated, the entire interior of the building felt like it fell into an ice cellar.
Yin Qi appeared out of nowhere, howling wildly in the cramped and narrow stairwell.
Mysteriously, even minds became befuddled.
Captain Mao quickly withdrew from the stairwell, his face turning pale, shouting hoarsely: "Play the emergency evacuation notice, don’t continue hiding in rooms!"
These characteristics obviously belong to Sequence 65’s Red-clothed Female Ghost.
This kind of supernatural is like the old tour guide, with a fixed activity range.
Under normal circumstances, this type of supernatural is what action personnel most wish to encounter.
As long as one doesn’t step into its activity range, safety can be ensured.
But the problem is, this Red-clothed Female Ghost appeared in a residential community, where the population density is much higher than in parks or suburbs.
If the Red-clothed Female Ghost were allowed to kill all the community’s residents, the extent of its activity range expanding would be unimaginable.
The cold wind howls, releasing a chill deep into the bones.
For a time, Building Eight is filled with the desperate cries of fleeing residents.
The most terrifying thing is, even though Captain Mao has left a certain range from Building Eight, he can still feel that coldness, indicating they are still within the Red-clothed Female Ghost’s territory.
"Exactly how large is this activity range?"
Captain Mao is extremely perplexed.
Given it’s a supernatural with a fixed activity range, it’s clearly newborn.
How could this Red-clothed Female Ghost be so strong upon just being born?
Captain Mao was still contemplating this issue when sudden exclamations came from nearby team members.
It turns out the window of the red-lit room on the fourth floor was slowly opening.
From below looking up, only a pair of red embroidered shoes can be seen stepping onto the railing.
Following those dainty embroidered shoes upwards is a fair, flawless, slender leg.
Upon seeing this, no one harbors stray thoughts, Captain Mao curses with his eyes bulging, "How did this already evolve to the final stage?!"
In fact, Sequence 65’s Red-clothed Female Ghost, when initially born, doesn’t have a human form, only a red dress.
As it harms more people, it gradually grows bones, flesh, and skin.
Yet now this Red-clothed Female Ghost surprisingly is a complete figure.
"Everyone, attention! Evacuate immediately! Repeat, evacuate immediately!"
Captain Mao no longer harbors any hope, realizing that facing a complete Red-clothed Female Ghost, staying in this community is meaningless for them as action department personnel, it’s merely providing the ghost extra food.
Whether indifferent or confident that these "food" cannot escape.
The Red-clothed Female Ghost on the fourth floor simply allowed community residents to flee from the stairwell.
Everywhere the sight goes, are panicked fleeing crowds.
Under these circumstances, no one notices what Lv Bai is doing, so he simply sits on the chair, chanting softly.
"The mystic light guides, regardless of distance, open my magical eyes, to discern reality..."
After chanting, he wiped his hand across his eyes, causing the world before him to change dramatically.
At the fourth-floor window, naturally, is the place with the heaviest Yin Qi, but around this community, it’s similarly bad.
After opening his eyes, he can clearly see a layer of mysterious Yin Qi like a huge overturned bowl covering dozens of buildings in this community.
Sure enough, Lv Bai quickly hears defeated cries from afar.
Because people gradually realize, no matter how fast or long they run, they still cannot see the outline of the community gate.
On turning back, they found that after running frantically for half a day, they hadn’t distanced themselves from Building Eight.
It’s over!
Captain Mao forces himself to show a calm demeanor to his team, but inwardly surges these two words.
Since already at the final stage of the Red-clothed Female Ghost, if it devours all residents in the community, fear would descend upon the entire city.
"Ah!"
"Look!"
"Jumped, jumped!"
Amid countless exclamations, the Red-clothed Female Ghost on the windowsill leaps like a fluttering butterfly, drifting with the wind.
