My ability pool is superior to others

Chapter 275 Patron Saint

As the red-clothed female ghost screamed miserably one after another, its body gradually became smaller and smaller, and its bones and flesh degenerated.

In the end, only a tattered crimson dress was left, and she was still sobbing weakly.

The crowds that had been fleeing in panic had already stopped.

Those who are a little braver even took out their mobile phones to record what was happening in front of them.

There's nothing we can do. Not to mention ordinary people, even those in the operations department who often deal with the weird have never seen such a scene.

Lu Bai observed the condition of the red-clothed female ghost in front of him. Feeling that its negative energy had been almost dispersed, he threw away the willow branch in his hand and blasted another palm thunder at the girl in red dress.

There is no doubt that the red-clothed female ghost in this state could not withstand the thunder magic and turned into a pile of charred fragments on the spot.

This residual substance looked very familiar to Captain Mao. He looked at Lu Bai with mixed feelings and said, "Sure enough, you also killed that old tour guide."

Lu Bai turned around and smiled: "Isn't this what I said at the beginning that you didn't believe it?"

Captain Mao tried his best to suppress his inner shock and asked expectantly, "Are you willing to join the action department?"

……

Sitting in Captain Mao's car, we drove from the quiet villa area halfway up the mountain to the bustling city.

The high-rise buildings around the road gradually became dense and crowded.

Even though this is a strange world, during the day, it is still bustling with traffic, and has the flavor of a modern city.

The journey was not very long, but it was enough for Lu Bai to use the time to think.

In fact, it was already a week after he arrived at the death arena.

Everything has been different since that night when he beat the female ghost in red like her grandson in front of many operations department personnel and citizens.

You know, in the two years since the arrival of the weirdness, humans are helpless against it and can only use human lives to figure out the weirdness's rules and killing methods.

As a result, a being that can fight against the weirdness suddenly appears. No matter how much attention is paid to it, it cannot be overemphasized.

Captain Mao knew at the time that this was not something he was qualified to handle, and he reported the fact immediately.

After all, there were so many witnesses that it was easy to verify.

After confirming the news, the national level attached great importance to it.

How exaggerated is the level of importance?
Let’s put it this way, on the day after Lu Bai killed the female ghost in red, a full-scale propaganda campaign about Lu Bai was launched to boost national confidence.

That same evening, the official media issued a notice.

All news media reprinted.

This news caused an uproar on the Internet in a very short time.

The footage of Lu Bai controlling lightning with his bare hands and whipping the female ghost in red with a willow branch was made into a short video and spread across the country at an extremely fast speed.

The people of this world have been under the shadow of weirdness for too long.

Human weapons have no effect in the face of weirdness, and they are almost in a passive state of waiting to die.

Every ray of light seems precious.

However, Lu Bai's ability to easily eliminate the weirdness cannot be considered a ray of hope.

This is literally the sun itself!
Some people began to ask who Lu Bai was and whether he was a humanoid weapon specially developed by the operations department to deal with strange creatures.

News about Lu Bai has become increasingly popular on the Internet.

This was spread spontaneously by the public, and also fueled by the power of the news media. The purpose was, of course, to restore the public's confidence, promote Lu Bai, and build him into the image of a human guardian.

On the other hand, the state took the lead in establishing an institution or department, whose full name is "Bureau of Services and Research Support for Lu Bai".

Abbreviated as Lu Bao Bureau.

Therefore, although Captain Mao invited him in person that night, he did not end up joining the operations department. Instead, he participated in the strange events as a consultant and assistant, just like he is now.

Having said that, Lu Baoju's work goal is actually very simple and clear, which is to provide services to Lu Bai and conduct research at the same time.

However, although the goal of Lu Bao Bureau is simple, the work scope of its members is still very broad, and the work content is very complicated when broken down.

From daily routine to food and water.

Even in Lu Bao Bureau, there is a position called Instant Coffee Section Observer in the Food and Beverage Department, which records in detail all of Lu Bai's actions and physiological reactions in the field of instant coffee.

Even though... Lu Bai just bought a pack to try it out while shopping.

The vehicle was driving steadily in the middle of the road, with a vehicle from the operations department leading the way in front, behind, and on both sides.

"Master Lu, I have to ask for your help again this time."

Captain Mao steadied the steering wheel with both hands, turned around and nodded gratefully at Lu Bai.

Lu Bai stretched lazily: "I don't know much about it, but I heard it's in a university?"

Captain Mao hummed and continued, "Two days ago, Keshan Art University reported a bizarre disappearance case. A total of six female students disappeared. They were not in the same dormitory and had no connection with each other.

We can probably be sure that it was the work of the strange, but our operations department has been investigating for two days and has not found any clues. We really have no other choice but to ask you for help."

It is worth mentioning that although Lu Bai was built in the image of the patron saint of mankind, he was actually not very busy during this week.

Including the old tour guide and the female ghost in red, he only killed a total of four monsters this week.

After all, the advent of the strange is a global crisis event.

There are five of these weird creatures like the old tour guide with a fixed range of activities around this city, which is already a lot.

In a single city, the number of strange things happening is actually in the single digits. Otherwise, with the strange killing efficiency, humans would have been extinct long ago.

As for this kind of strangeness in a fixed activity range, safety can be guaranteed as long as you don't get close to it, and it does not fall into the category of requiring emergency treatment.

In this way, under the premise that Lu Bai has no plan to leave the city for the time being, his itinerary is much more leisurely than he imagined.

……

After half an hour.

The convoy stopped at the gate of Keshan Art University.

A large number of welcoming staff had already gathered around the school gate.

Among them were school leaders and personnel from the operations department, but the majority were ordinary citizens who were excited and wanted to see Lu Bai in person.

Thanks to the official endorsement, even though Lu Bai has not taken action many times, most citizens have already regarded him as a guardian angel.

The car door opened, and as Lu Bai stepped out, warm cheers rang out from all around. Some even broke through the police blockade and tried to touch Lu Bai a few times to get some of his spiritual energy.

Lu Bai has seen this scene many times in this week.

He was neither surprised nor panicked.

He just smiled very kindly to everyone around him.
