My Ability Pool is Superior-Chapter 81 - 80: Caught

The hospital is full of surveillance cameras, and naturally, Lv Bai couldn’t possibly rewind each and every one, as that would be a huge waste of time.

Since he knew the previous coordinates of those two Death Fighters, all he needed to do was rewind the surveillance footage at those coordinates to the time point when the location was announced.

On the big screen in the monitor room, several images were rewinding at different speeds, occasionally showing patients or nurses passing through the coordinates.

Got you.

Lv Bai pressed pause, a smile creeping onto his face.

In one of the paused surveillance images, a caregiver wearing a mask appeared.

Although the moment was brief, at the moment the system warning sounded, he clearly saw the person’s footsteps pause for a moment, then hasten out of the surveillance area.

From the reaction, this guy is highly likely to be a Death Fighter, with a good probability.

...

Unlike the outpatient department, the hospital’s inpatient department has access control; generally speaking, after a certain point in time, free entry and exit is not allowed in principle.

But principles are made to be broken.

With his official credentials, Lv Bai passed through smoothly without any obstruction.

He walked out of the elevator, looking quite relaxed, and had the leisure to greet the middle-aged elder sister at the nurse’s station.

Unhurriedly, he strolled around the circular corridor and sat down on a row of long benches outside the ward.

Beside him sat an elder brother dressed as a caregiver, eating from a box of diced bananas.

It was easy to notice that when Lv Bai sat down next to him, the elder brother’s actions stiffened for a moment.

"How does it taste?" Lv Bai asked in a gentle tone.

The elder brother’s throat moved as if he’d swallowed a chunk of banana forcefully.

He hesitated for a moment, tremblingly handed Lv Bai a toothpick.

"Parents usually tell kids not to take food from strangers, because it might be drugged."

Lv Bai accepted the toothpick without hesitation and immediately stabbed a piece to put in his mouth: "But I think you could ask strangers for food because they don’t have time to poison it."

He chewed a couple of times and swallowed, his smile becoming radiant: "But it’s best to snatch food directly from a stranger’s mouth because they wouldn’t poison themselves."

Although he couldn’t quite understand, the elder brother was inevitably frightened, and decisively handed the box of bananas to Lv Bai in a plea.

"Little brother, please spare me. I don’t want to get eliminated so soon."

Did he just expose himself?

Lv Bai stared at him for a while, realizing that the elder brother seemed genuinely scared.

So, was he actually encountering a tourist band?

Such Death Fighters are not uncommon, but they only appear in the first three rounds of Death duels.

These people are usually civilians, even without having attended the Death Struggle School.

They don’t expect to become real Death Fighters, and they restart without any psychological burden, taking the monthly Death duel as a 100% realistic holographic virtual game.

The reason Lv Bai didn’t encounter this type of tourist band in the previous round was mainly because the survival environment was too harsh, with even zombies showing up at the beginning.

"You’re lucky you ran into me."

He sighed helplessly: "If it were someone else, they might let you off."

Elder Brother: "?"

Saying this, Lv Bai didn’t actually make a move on the spot.

That’s the downside of modern Death Arenas.

In such public arenas, starting a fight and injuring people could likely get you arrested.

"Uh, so what do you mean, little brother?"

The elder brother appeared very humble, having no intention of resisting.

After all, Lv Bai bore the conspicuous title of "Innocent Smile" on his head, funny as it was, it undeniably signified a strong presence.

That’s a symbol of a top ten ranking in a round of Death duels, a mark of the elite.

Lv Bai patted the elder brother on the shoulder like a leader and stood up: "Come with me."

...

Room 6019, the ward where Yao Yi was staying.

Snap~

Lv Bai opened the door to see a young girl in patient attire, chatting with Yao Yi.

"Eh? Lü has come? Xiaoying, look, this is the friend I told you about." Yao Yi enthusiastically waved at Lv Bai.

The girl referred to as Xiaoying covered her mouth, giggling: "Your friend is quite handsome."

Lv Bai seemed unsurprised by this, directing a faint, almost invisible smile towards Xiaoying.

The caregiver elder brother behind him stood there dumbfounded, not daring to ask since Lv Bai remained silent.

"Xiaoying, huh? Why aren’t you staying in your own ward?" Lv Bai casually sat down on the vacant bed next door.

Xiaoying put down the half-peeled apple: "After what happened, I really don’t want to."

Yao Yi gradually caught on, realizing something seemed off in their conversation.

The next moment, Xiaoying realigned the fruit knife holding the last drops of apple juice back against his neck and then quickly withdrew it.

She shrugged: "Just kidding, I don’t want to become a murderer."

Lv Bai could certainly sense the underlying message in Xiaoying’s words.

However, he had no intention of being conciliatory.

Swiftly, he pulled out his official credentials, sternly reprimanding: "Audacious monster, I can see with one glance you’re no human!"

Listening to this, the present few wore expressions of disbelief as if he’d just cracked a joke.

Yao Yi touched his neck, which still retained a bit of coolness, and his gaze shifted between the two, stifling the urge to ask questions.

Xiaoying forced a rather unnatural smile: "You must be mistaken, right?"

"Come with me, whether right or wrong, I shall be the judge."

Lv Bai approached Xiaoying with handcuffs ready: "Well, I do hope you resist arrest violently."

"This is a blatant slander!"

"What, you’re upset about it?"

Xiaoying was trembling with anger, clearly unwilling to surrender.

However, the ability provided in the first round wasn’t sufficient to handle the situation.

Violent resistance would likely backfire.

"Fine, fine."

Resigned to watching Lv Bai cuff her, Xiaoying’s anger turned into a laugh.

Lv Bai paid no heed, greeted Yao Yi, and escorted Xiaoying away.

The three of them entered the elevator, Xiaoying still refusing to give up.

She viciously threatened: "Have you thought about what you’d do if I’m not a monster?"

Lv Bai returned a gentle smile.

"You could be."

...

Leaving the hospital, Lv Bai didn’t take Xiaoying by car to Jiangyu City’s Special Affairs Bureau.

Instead, he took a detour into a rarely traversed alley, weaving through its various twists and turns.

As the scenes on either side grew more desolate and rundown, Xiaoying’s heart grew increasingly uneasy.

"Where are you taking me? Are you mad? So many people saw you taking me away at the hospital, how will you explain it later? Say I disappeared?"

Lv Bai abruptly stopped.

He turned around, looking at Xiaoying, slightly astounded: "Why disappear, you’re a parasitic creature, didn’t I say so?
