My Ability Pool is Superior-Chapter 87 - 86: Mayor

At the moment Lv Bai’s figure disappeared, the two parasitic creatures at the warehouse entrance were almost simultaneously cut in half.

The blood remaining on the blade, influenced by the inertia of high-speed swinging, naturally formed droplets that rolled along the blade edge.

No one present could clearly see Lv Bai’s actions, only the flash of the blade, followed by a large splash of blood.

"Stop him!" the Mayor quickly reacted with a loud shout.

Emerging from the state of [Flash Time], Lv Bai didn’t stop, retreating straight towards the warehouse door.

The number of parasitic creatures gathered in this warehouse was too exaggerated, and he wouldn’t be so reckless as to fight so many parasites head-on.

Even with hundreds of pigs, it would take a while to kill them, let alone parasitic creatures, which were far more dangerous than pigs.

Frankly speaking, with the advantage of [Flash Time], not considering stamina issues, slowly grinding down, maybe there was a chance to kill them all.

But the problem is the margin for error is too low, and eliminating these parasites doesn’t have much meaning for him, plus it doesn’t add to his score.

In conclusion, a strategic retreat.

The Long Teeth in his hand quietly retracted, and Lv Bai dashed out of the warehouse, sprinting madly along.

A large number of parasitic creatures jostled one another, squeezing out from the gap in the roller shutter door.

"Don’t let this human escape!"

A girl in a JK uniform watched Lv Bai get further away, the top of her skull opened like a caterpillar’s cocoon, spreading out two pairs of fleshy wings.

With the fluttering of the fleshy wings, her figure soared like a kite.

Seeing this, many parasitic creatures seemed inspired, one after another morphing fleshy wings to fly.

Lv Bai sprinted on the concrete ground, with feet not touching the earth.

When a person runs with all their might, turning back will slow them down, so to maintain speed, Lv Bai kept his head down, sprinting.

Yet even without turning back, hearing the sounds getting closer, he knew those creatures were catching up.

He could feel a burning suffocation from his chest, growing stronger, a protest from his lungs being pressed to high performance.

This can’t continue.

Without much hesitation, he stomped heavily, sliding several meters on the concrete, forcibly halting his forward momentum.

Only resting for a few breaths, a foul wind rushed at the back of his head.

Lv Bai suddenly turned, raising his right arm as he turned, grasping the Long Teeth once more.

He didn’t even take time to see what it was, directly slicing vertically, splitting the creature pouncing at him in two.

The parasitic creature in the JK uniform tore like a rag, unable to react, and died instantly.

Splurt~ Bang~ Bang~

Dozens of parasitic creatures with grotesque fleshy wings landed in succession, but given Lv Bai’s exaggerated performance, they didn’t dare to rush him directly.

"You guys, really want to die?"

The earlier sprint left Lv Bai’s breathing ragged.

A parasitic creature resumed a human form, cautiously saying, "By human standards, you are indeed strong, but we only need to be a hindrance."

This wasn’t wrong.

Through the figures of these dozen creatures, more were visible arriving in the background.

Lv Bai adjusted his breathing rate: "Your faction only bullies with numbers?"

The creature gestured to its companions to surround Lv Bai.

"Utilizing our advantage is the right approach. If you try to bind us with fairness, morality, and such, it’ll just make me laugh."

Waiting for reinforcements, it felt free to banter with Lv Bai.

Suddenly, a faint sound reached his ears.

As the sound grew louder, he could distinguish it clearly as a series of police sirens in the distance.

Lv Bai smiled: "Don’t misunderstand, my point is, I also enjoy outnumbering opponents."

Parasitic creatures could kill humans both unarmed.

Ultimately carbon-based life forms, no carbon organism can withstand hot weapons; if one could, it just means the weapon isn’t hot enough.

They’re not brainless zombies, seeing the situation turn bad, these parasitic creatures didn’t even bother with harsh words, just turned and ran.

Lv Bai didn’t stop them primarily because he was alone, unable to detain all these parasitic creatures.

He turned to look in the direction of the sirens.

"Came pretty quickly."

...

Jiangyu City First People’s Hospital.

Inpatient Department, Ward 6019.

"Don’t you need to be at the crime scene watching? Haven’t you been made team leader?"

Yao Yi looked puzzled as Lv Bai sat on a stool eating an apple.

Lv Bai took another crisp, juicy bite of the apple.

After leisurely swallowing, he casually explained, "The culprit wouldn’t stay at the crime scene waiting for me, anyway."

"That’s true."

Yao Yi nodded, then asked, "I heard you destroyed another monster’s lair?"

"Wasn’t me. When I arrived, it was already too late. You could see it as internal strife among monsters."

Lv Bai spoke nonchalantly, but Yao Yi sensed hidden meaning in his words.

Unsure how to respond and to avoid awkwardness, Yao Yi picked up the remote to turn on the television.

The small LCD TV in the ward was showing the Mayor’s speech.

"... I thank the delegates and the entire city for trusting me once more as Mayor of Jiangyu City..."

This voice sounded familiar. Lv Bai glanced and instantly froze.

It was them?!

He had just seen the leader of the parasitic creatures; he wouldn’t forget their appearance.

To think a parasite had climbed to such a high position.

No wonder they were so intent on keeping him there; they didn’t want their identity exposed.

"Old Yao, if I said this Mayor is a parasite, and I’ve seen them, what do you think would happen?"

"Huh?"

Yao Yi thought he misheard: "Brother Lv, are you joking with me?"

Lv Bai didn’t laugh.

Yao Yi’s face gradually turned stiff: "No way, such a position should have strict..."

His words trailed off, eventually asking: "What do we do?"

Lv Bai shook his head.

This situation is absurd.

He could report the Mayor as a parasite, but it was uncertain what effect it would have.

And knowing their identity meant they wouldn’t let him go.

As Mayor, his information was likely already on the Mayor’s desk.

What would they do?
