My Ability Pool is Superior
Chapter 281 - 280: Bloody Fleshball
The ceiling above the corridor in the teaching building is an ordinary whitewashed wall. At night, it’s not entirely obscured but tends to appear somewhat hazy.
But that’s under normal circumstances.
At this moment, Lv Bai unintentionally glanced upwards and was startled to discover several vein-like shadows on the corridor ceiling.
By following the direction these "veins" extended, it was easy to determine they originated from that office.
One must commend Observer Chen for his steadiness; even facing such sudden changes, his hand remained so stable, ensuring that the audience in the live broadcast room could see the clearest and most stable picture.
Unfortunately, the host of the live broadcast had never encountered such a scene and completely forgot to explain.
"It’s coming out, it’s coming out!"
"Where?"
"No, the anomaly still seems to be in that office."
"Why is there a construction worker inside?"
In such a situation, the netizens didn’t really need the host’s explanation either; they just quietly stared at the screen, and even the comments on the live feed became a lot sparser.
Lv Bai blinked, turned to the construction worker, and suddenly asked, "What’s in there?"
From the feeling of it, this anomaly seemed to be the kind with a physical form. At least, he didn’t feel the Yin Qi similar to that of the Red-clothed Female Ghost or the Drowned Ghost.
The construction worker wasn’t dumbfounded, but he didn’t look back at Lv Bai either. Clearly, he didn’t dare to get distracted, fearing that if he turned his head, the anomaly in the office would rush out and kill him.
Out of their group, only he survived, like the last one standing.
If he hadn’t reacted quickly enough, he probably would have ended up in the same situation as his companions.
Seeing that the other didn’t respond, Lv Bai hesitated for a moment, then proceeded to walk towards the office.
The corridor wasn’t particularly narrow, and since this was the second floor, it was fairly easy to escape either by leaping down or climbing along the railing, providing a reasonable sense of security.
The construction worker who had escaped outside the office just stared wide-eyed as Lv Bai nonchalantly walked past him and approached the office door.
His eyes unconsciously widened: "You... are you really?"
He was a bit confused.
Could it be that this guy really intended to help the locals eliminate the anomaly?!
But Lv Bai had no time to deal with this Death Fighter now. His attention was entirely drawn to the monster inside the office.
Yes, monster!
Before this, whether it was the elderly tour guide, the Red-clothed Female Ghost, or the Drowned Ghost, these anomalies might have had various peculiarities, but they still appeared humanoid on the surface.
However, the anomaly in this office was nothing more than a massive, blood-soaked meatball, filling the entire room.
Dozens of arms and legs were attached to the surface of the meatball in a highly irregular manner, and a mass of eyes gathered densely together.
It seemed as if some mischievous creator had forcibly mixed awkward elements together; just the appearance sent shivers down one’s spine.
The tentacle-like arms on the monster’s surface began to slowly wriggle towards Lv Bai.
The vein-like meat strips extending from the ceiling into the corridor vibrated and retracted.
The form of the meat mountain kept changing, but the dozens of blood-red eyes remained fixated on Lv Bai regardless of how it shifted.
As the meatball began to move, a thick stench rushed forward.
Lv Bai took half a step back, frowning, "What the heck is this thing?"
He wasn’t an expert in this area; recognizing anomalies was a task better left to Captain Mao.
Seeing Lv Bai retreat, the meatball seemed to think he was trying to escape, hastily sped up, and emitted a sound like flesh grinding against flesh.
"Roar!!!"
Crack~
The wall beside the office door began to crack under the pressure of the blood-soaked meatball and eventually collapsed with a boom.
The terrifying weight even caused dense cracks to form on the surface of the corridor floor.
For a moment, it felt as if the entire teaching building was shaking.
Lv Bai glanced back at the construction worker, a subconscious smile still on his face, seeming unusually relaxed: "You actually survived this thing’s attack?"
From the limbs on the surface of the meatball, he could determine that these pieces of flesh were basically composed of the missing students and some construction workers from the school.
If nothing went wrong, as long as it devoured enough flesh, the meatball’s size could continue to grow.
Hearing Lv Bai’s question, the construction worker’s eyelids twitched; he didn’t quite understand Lv Bai’s train of thought.
But if he wasn’t planning to flee immediately, it seemed like he had no choice but to temporarily cooperate with Lv Bai.
Based on this, though feeling a bit awkward, he nonetheless spoke up: "This monster’s reaction isn’t very quick. I managed to find a chance to break free when those meat strips entangled me."
"Slow to react?"
Lv Bai turned his head thoughtfully: "Is it not fully awake? Or is it in its growth stage?"
With that thought, he took a piece of talisman paper, flicked it onto the meatball, and quickly began spellcasting.
The talisman paper emitted a golden light in mid-air, as if it had a will of its own, attaching to the meatball, showing that the spell was successfully cast.
But to his surprise, it seemed to have no effect at all.
An arm on the surface of the meatball swung a couple of times and easily tore the talisman paper away.
The Maoshan Daoist Skill was ineffective?
Seeing this, Lv Bai squinted his eyes slightly and instinctively stepped back to widen the gap.
He wouldn’t take it for granted that Maoshan Daoist Skill would work on all anomalies, but having no effect at all was a bit outrageous, wasn’t it?
At the other end of the corridor, where Captain Mao was with Observer Chen, he carefully identified the appearance of the meatball and suddenly his face changed color, exclaiming, "Could this be?!"
He forcefully swallowed his saliva, finally recognized the sequence of this anomaly, and shouted loudly, "Master Lv! Be careful! This is Abomination!"
Sequence 27’s Abomination.
It was mentioned earlier that the sequence does not reflect the strength of the anomaly but rather its level of threat to humanity.
Every anomaly in the top thirty sequences is capable of easily destroying a city.
During the two years since anomalies began appearing, two cities with populations of over a million were destroyed by Abomination.
The most troublesome aspect of the Abomination is its nearly limitless growth potential and extremely exaggerated Life Force.
As it devours more and more flesh, the city it resides in will become a dead city.
Meanwhile, the live broadcast room was also in an uproar.
It should be noted that, to ensure public safety as much as possible, information on anomalies is not kept secret, so many viewers in the live broadcast room, like Captain Mao, recognized the identity of this anomaly.
"No way?"
"It’s true! This is Abomination!"
"We’re doomed! I just happen to live in Keshan City, how did it appear here?!"
