My Ability Pool is Superior-Chapter 96 - 95: The Numbers Don’t Add Up

"I can’t pretend I didn’t hear such slander from you."

Lv Bai pondered for two seconds and said, "Don’t assume their species."

Wang Ting: "???"

"I’m not lying to you, these guys only look human."

Lv Bai put on his flip-flops and sat opposite Yao Yi’s ward.

To be honest, he wasn’t really deceiving Wang Ting.

In a certain sense, Death Fighters and these parasitic beings are essentially the same.

Wang Ting didn’t understand, but one good thing about parasitic beings is that they don’t have the strong curiosity of humans to get to the bottom of everything.

It blinked noncommittally and then continued modifying the two corpses.

...

Ward 6020, next to 6019.

The blinds were completely drawn, and the ward was pitch black.

The patient on the bed had died tragically, and even the accompanying family member didn’t escape the fate of being killed. A faint scent of blood lingered in the ward.

Several figures sat together, discussing in barely audible whispers.

"Huh?"

"There’s movement again."

"How many this time?"

"Sounds like only one."

"Didn’t succeed, right?"

"No, ’Smiling Face’ is quite formidable; no wonder they dare to brazenly wear the title."

"When should we make a move?"

"Don’t rush, wait a bit longer. Three or four o’clock is when people are most exhausted mentally..."

...

Fifth floor of the inpatient department.

The warm incandescent lights in the corridor were replaced by dim, cold night lights.

In the nurse’s station, the on-duty nurse lay sprawled over the desk, a horrifying wound visible on her neck, and a stack of documents under her arm had been soaked in blood, much of it already coagulated on the desk.

Sizzle~

Chang Hu extinguished his cigarette on one of the nurse’s thighs, exhaling an irregular smoke ring from his mouth.

"Interesting, looks like the one who took my first place is that ’Smiling Face’.

He had a cold expression, like a hungry beast surveying prey in its territory: "I’ll come for you once I deal with these wastes in the building, don’t disappoint me."

...

Below the apartment building opposite the inpatient department.

Xiao Xueyin gasped for breath weakly, pushed the blood-stained sunglasses on his nose, crossed the street, and headed straight towards the inpatient department.

Logically speaking, the inpatient department should be closed at this hour, yet at this moment, the door was wide open, and a bunch of lock-picking tools had been casually thrown on the ground.

The first-floor lobby was silent. Although it was still brightly lit with warm hues, the central nurse’s station was deserted.

Xiao Xueyin didn’t take the emergency passage but turned to take the elevator, seemingly unconcerned about the noise he was making drawing attention.

He casually glanced around the elevator; the surveillance camera in the top left had been damaged, but it wasn’t clear when exactly it had happened.

Presumably, there wouldn’t be any security personnel on duty in the monitoring room at this time.

Whether entering the inpatient department or damaging the surveillance cameras along the way, in a sense, benefitted from the work done by predecessors.

Ding~

The ascending elevator stopped on the third floor, and the doors opened to a yawning nurse carrying a stack of medical records, grumbling as she entered: "Seriously, why doesn’t Ms. Liu respond..."

Xiao Xueyin politely asked, "Which floor?"

"Fifth floor, thank you."

The nurse thanked him habitually, and then suddenly realized.

How could there be anyone entering the inpatient department at this hour?!

But before she could turn around, a karate chop landed on the back of her neck.

The nurse’s eyes rolled back, and she limply collapsed.

Xiao Xueyin promptly reached out to support her, gently lowering her to the ground.

...

Two-thirty in the morning.

[Ding!]

[Points +3, Current Points: 12, Current Rank: 1/276]

As the system notification indicated, over time, three more corpses appeared in the ward.

The smell of blood in the ward was now overwhelmingly strong. Including the previous duo wearing cat and dog masks, there were a total of five corpses piled like Jenga blocks beside Yao Yi’s bed.

Wang Ting skillfully finished modifying the corpses and reminded, "Running out of space."

"No problem, if there’s more, just put them on my bed,"

Lv Bai responded cheerfully.

After all, it’s just minor details; we can always squeeze some space for the bodies.

He was now more concerned about the number of Death Fighters showing up; it didn’t seem to be as many as expected.

The current ranking on the system panel showed some clues.

The number of remaining Death Fighters had drastically decreased, clearly indicating that many were fighting among themselves; tonight’s battles were exceptionally fierce.

But the issue was, not many Death Fighters came to Yao Yi’s ward.

Could it be that Death Fighters have started teaming up to hunt lone wolves again?

"Though I don’t get the concept, wouldn’t having too many bodies in the ward impact efficiency?"

Wang Ting considered it from Lv Bai’s perspective, thinking her conclusion was likely correct.

"That’s not quite it; these guys have subtle differences from you." 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Lv Bai organized his thoughts and explained, "For them, survival isn’t the primary objective."

"How can any being operate like that? It’s too easy to go extinct."

Wang Ting struggled to accept the absurdity that they seemed human, thought like humans, appeared human, but weren’t human.

Learning that these beings didn’t even care about death was utterly unbelievable for a parasitic entity.

Lv Bai shrugged, "At least for now, that’s the reality."

At that moment.

Creak~

The slightly open ward door was gently pushed open.

Seeing another "fish" took the bait, Wang Ting’s peculiar eyes sparkled with excitement: "Get ready!"

"Is it you?" Lv Bai raised an eyebrow.

Xiao Xueyin lowered his voice deliberately, "Long time no see."

"You’re here for...?"

Lv Bai sat cross-legged on the bench in front of the bed, not showing any intention of making a move.

Xiao Xueyin casually closed the door and approached Lv Bai without any sense of defense, extending his right hand: "Pleasure working with you?"

"Who gets the ’Node’?"

"As usual."

Neither found the proposal surprising.

After all, during the last Death Duel, neither had backstabbed the other, providing a basis for collaboration.

Even if Liu Yue came by to propose cooperation, Lv Bai wouldn’t refuse.

He chuckled, "I’m fine with it, but your sudden arrival might disrupt my fishing."

Xiao Xueyin glanced at the pile of corpses in the room, realizing the rationale.

"Alright, I’ll find a nearby ward to hide in."

Lv Bai pointed to the adjacent wall.

"Try Ward 6020 next door; I recall it only having one patient."
