In front of him, it was pitch black, and he couldn’t see anything at all.

Suddenly hearing someone speaking behind him, even in a world without the bizarre, would make one jump scare.

Not to mention this world inherently had all sorts of bizarre phenomena.

Xu Lingwen was so frightened by Lv Bai that his heart skipped a beat.

"Wh... who is it?! Who’s talking?!"

Xu Lingwen swiftly turned towards the direction of the voice, but unfortunately, under the influence of [All Ink], there was only darkness and nothing could be seen.

"Don’t panic just yet."

Lv Bai reached out and patted Xu Lingwen’s shoulder, startling him to the point where he instinctively took half a step back.

Seeing this, Lv Bai felt too lazy to console him and instead directed his focus towards the still-calm little girl.

He stared into her eyes and asked, "Are you a supernatural being?"

The effect of [All Ink] couldn’t be ignored, even by the supernatural.

The little girl, evidently unable to see Lv Bai’s expression, could only gaze into the darkness ahead and inquire, "You must be that Master Lv, right?"

"Master and all that, I appreciate everyone’s kindness."

Lv Bai chuckled and swiftly got to the point, "It’s rare to come across a supernatural being that can converse, I have a few questions for you."

The little girl still didn’t show much emotion, and instead of saying she was calm, it was more like she didn’t care.

"Okay, ask away."

...

If considering the possibility of lying didn’t count, this little girl with her mysterious facade was quite responsive to questions throughout.

"... So basically, you all are raising all of humanity."

Lv Bai rubbed his chin with a thoughtful look.

The little girl’s statement wasn’t entirely unbelievable.

After all, with the supernatural’s abilities, destroying humanity wouldn’t be difficult at all.

The reason humans continue to eke out an existence is likely due to the supernatural beings pursuing a path of sustainable development.

"I advise you to join us. With your abilities, we will definitely show you enough respect."

The little girl maintained her indifferent attitude and didn’t seem too enthusiastic about recruiting Lv Bai: "Unless you can exterminate all the supernatural beings, otherwise saving these people is meaningless."

The supernatural beings were essentially restraining their actions to avoid wiping out humans outright.

If they were really to go all out, they could easily make up for the population gap in the city.

"You make a good point."

Lv Bai nodded and added with a smile, "But I still refuse."

Upon hearing Lv Bai’s decision, the little girl’s clothing emitted a bloody scent, and without the darkening effect of [All Ink], one would see her red outfit turning as red as blood.

However, Lv Bai seemed unfazed by this change and continued, "You’ve misunderstood something, I won’t stay in this world forever. No matter how this world turns, I honestly don’t care."

With that said, his smile grew even brighter, but unfortunately, nobody could see it.

"I’m doing this simply because I feel like it."

Swoosh~

The little girl abruptly swung her arm, and her scarlet dress seemed to take on a life of its own, reaching towards Lv Bai’s position.

The coldness and the bloody scent saturated the entire area, the latter even becoming sweet to a cloying degree.

Regrettably, this sudden strike fell short.

Lv Bai’s figure had already quickly moved away; if the darkness hadn’t obscured one’s vision, his speed might have seemed almost like teleportation.

Instantly appearing behind Xu Lingwen, he effortlessly twisted his neck.

[Points +1, Current Points: 28, Current Rank: 1/83]

Lv Bai acted so swiftly that Xu Lingwen couldn’t even let out a scream. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

But the little girl, being supernatural, still noticed the instant disappearance of Xu Lingwen’s life aura.

She was rather surprised: "What are you doing? Weren’t you planning to side with humans?"

Lv Bai flexed his wrist and smiled lightly.

"You still don’t get what I mean."

Before these words traveled to the little girl’s ears, Lv Bai had already appeared behind her.

A Yellow Talisman rapidly stuck to the girl’s forehead with lightning speed.

The effect of [Flash Time] depends solely on the user themselves.

The faster the user, the more they can accomplish within that brief 0.5 seconds.

With [Strike in the Dark], within a 500-meter radius centered on Lv Bai, it’s all his attack range.

"Goodbye."

Lv Bai clasped his fingers together and chanted the spell.

The Yellow Talisman spontaneously combusted, slaying the red-clad supernatural being on the spot.

After finishing, Lv Bai glanced at the current number of living Death Fighters and muttered to himself, "It’s time to speed things up."

To the supernatural, there’s no distinction between ordinary people and Death Fighters; both are mere food in their eyes.

If he doesn’t hurry up, the Death Fighters might all get killed by the supernatural beings.

...

Paradoxically, sometimes darkness can even make one feel a sense of safety.

Compared to scurrying around in the containment center, where a supernatural being could suddenly appear to take your life.

Things being pitch black as they were now, it was more comforting for the people in the containment center.

Since escape seemed impossible, hiding under the cover of darkness offered some psychological comfort.

As it turns out, the actions of these people weren’t exactly wrong.

If real-time statistics on casualties in the containment center were available, it would show that after Lv Bai painted the entire containment center black, the number of harmed individuals stopped spiking sharply.

"So, the Clown from Sequence 167?"

In the two-meter-wide passage between the original refuge tents, after swiftly dealing with a supernatural being and a Death Fighter, Lv Bai slightly paused to catch his breath.

[Points +1, Current Points: 39, Current Rank: 1/64]

After half an hour of relentless effort, he completely cleared the Death Fighters in Containment Center’s Zone A and Zone C.

For this, he even abandoned taking care of some supernatural beings in those areas.

Unfortunately, the abilities possessed by these Death Fighters didn’t help much; optimizing his current ability set wasn’t an option for now.

Fortunately, he gained substantial points, and soon he could accelerate into the third round of the Ability Pool.

Thinking of this, Lv Bai snapped his fingers, dispelling the nearby darkness.

A series of exclamations arose.

Suddenly regaining their vision caused the people around to squint.

A friendly smile spread across Lv Bai’s face: "Everyone knows me, right? Could someone lend me a phone?"
