As I opened the bedroom door, I saw Yukino walking over, so I handed her the stockings I was holding.

"Here, put this on."

"???"

Yukino's eyes widened in surprise as she asked, "How did you know?"

Shrugging, Luo Bai said, quite surprised himself, "I dreamt about it, and it doesn't seem to be an ordinary dream."

It's not a precognitive dream, but a dream of foreknowledge.

In the living room, Mai Sakurajima, who was sitting on the sofa, overheard their conversation and came over as well.

"Dreaming? What dreaming?"

Luo Bai scratched his head and said, "I think I've gained a new ability, the ability to foresee the future, but I don't know if it's reliable or not."

Yukino and Mai Sakurajima stared wide-eyed at Luo Bai in astonishment.

Sakurajima Mai asked incredulously, "Really?"

Yukino nodded, looking at the stockings in her hand, and said, "It should be true. I had just walked over when he opened the door and came out with the stockings."

Luo Bai said with a smile, "Moreover, the scenes that happened this morning were all things I saw in my dreams last night. The sense of déjà vu was so strong that it was hard not to think about it."

Mai Sakurajima's mouth gaped slightly, still incredibly surprised: "Predicting the future? If that's really true, that's amazing!"

Let Yukino change her stockings first, then Luo Bai takes out the cat nail clippers from home and trims the cat's claws.

Yukino also changed into her stockings and came out, and the three of them went to school together.

Walking down the street, Yukino held Luo Bai's hand and looked at him, saying, "Do you have any ideas? Like, how about using this ability on your own initiative?"

"Not yet."

Luo Bai shook his head. "This is different from my other abilities. It can't be used actively. It's a bit like a passive ability in a game, and it's based on probability. I don't even know when it will appear. I had a feeling on Monday that I would awaken a new ability, but I didn't expect it to be like this."

Mai Sakurajima asked curiously, "So what's the use of this ability?"

"I don't know about that." Luo Bai shrugged. "It doesn't seem to be of any practical use right now, and I don't know about the future. Anyway, whether we have superpowers or not, life goes on, doesn't it?"

Yukino agreed. In his daily life, Luo Bai only occasionally used his superpowers to do some cleaning work at home and move heavy objects; he really didn't need them for other things.

Well, dealing with monsters like ghouls is a different matter from everyday life.

After arriving at school, no one came to confess their feelings to Mai Sakurajima today, which made her feel much more relaxed.

Once class started, Luo Bai's attention was naturally not on the lesson itself, but rather on continuing to study his newly acquired superpower.

This is different from the fire and ice abilities he acquired before; he needs to carefully study how this precognitive ability is triggered.

Unfortunately, after two days, Luo Bai still couldn't figure it out.

And so, Friday arrived.

Yawning, Luo Bai arrived at the classroom.

Like Luo Bai, Hachiman Hikigaya was also yawning. When he saw Luo Bai arrive, he raised his hand to greet him and said, "Good morning! Did you stay up all night playing games?"

"It's alright, I played for a little while and went to sleep around 1 a.m., and I haven't even left the initial sky island yet." After sitting down, Luo Bai yawned again and said, "I'll just catch up on some sleep during class."

"...Is this the composure of a top student?"

Hachiman Hikigaya was incredibly envious; he wouldn't dare sleep during class, or he'd definitely be caught.

But Luo Bai was always daydreaming in class, and no teacher ever bothered him.

The difference between the top student in the grade and a student who excels in only one subject is truly huge.

However, Hachiman Hikigaya quickly remembered and turned to look at Luo Bai, saying, "But the first period is Hiratsuka-sensei's Japanese literature class. Are you planning to sleep in too?"

"real or fake?"

After a moment of surprise, Luo Bai took out his phone and glanced at the class schedule, only to find that it really was Hiratsuka Shizuka's class.

"Okay, then I won't be able to sleep during the first class. I'll sleep during the second class."

"Hey, hey, hey, the math teacher will cry!"

"It's alright, I'll be careful not to let him find out."

Waving his hand, Luo Bai quickly lay down to rest for a while, taking advantage of the twenty minutes left before class.

Besides Luo Bai, Yukino was in a similar situation. After they finished fighting, they lay on the bed and it took them a long time to fall asleep. They were sleepy at the moment.

Luo Bai managed to get through the first class taught by Hiratsuka Shizuka, but he couldn't stand it anymore during the second math class. He put his book in front of him to block the view and closed his eyes.

Volume 1: Chapter 121 Yang Nai is attacked, the Slit-Mouthed Woman (2/2)

And this sleep led directly into a dream.

This dream is much more important than the one about Yukino changing stockings last time, and it involves not Yukino, but her older sister Haruno.

In the dream, Yang Nai's car was badly damaged. After getting out of the car, she covered her arm and ran in terror, trying to escape the pursuit from behind.

But soon, Yang Nai was caught up, and a pair of scissors stabbed her from behind.

Upon seeing this, Luo Bai instantly woke up and raised his hand without hesitation, saying, "Teacher, I'm not feeling well and need to go to the infirmary."

The old teacher adjusted his glasses, nodded, and said, "Okay, go ahead, take care of yourself."

Then Luo Bai turned around and left the school. However, instead of going to the infirmary, he went downstairs to change his shoes, found a secluded corner, used his ability to fly into the sky, and flew at full speed towards Tokyo.

At the same time, he took out his phone and dialed Yang Nai's number.

The call was answered quickly, and Yang Nai's energetic voice came through.

"Xiaobai? You guys should be in class right now, right? Why are you calling? Did you miss your big sister?"

Luo Bai asked directly, "Sister Yang Nai, where are you now?"

"Me?" Yang Nai asked, somewhat puzzled, but still said, "I just finished a class. I don't have any classes this morning, so I'm planning to go back to my apartment to get some things, have lunch, and then go back to studying."

Seeing that nothing had happened yet, Luo Bai said, "Sister Yang Nai, give me your current location!"

"Huh? Location?"

"hurry up!"

Hearing Luo Bai's extremely serious tone, Yang Nai, though not understanding, still looked at her location and glanced at the street name, "I'm still about seven or eight minutes away from the apartment... Ah!"

"Oh!"

A loud crash came through the phone, causing Luo Bai to immediately frown.

"Sister Yang Nai? What happened to you?"

Yang Nai said with a hint of panic in her voice, "Um, I think I hit someone. Just now, someone suddenly ran out of the alley and onto the road, and I didn't have time to brake. Xiao Bai, I'll tell you later. I'll get out of the car and check first!"

He hung up the phone after saying that.

Luo Bai immediately realized something was wrong, but it was too late to stop it before the phone call ended.

Having no other choice, Luo Bai locked onto the direction and hurried over.

Yang Nai got out of the car and quickly ran to the person who had been hit and was lying on the ground. She reached out to help the woman in white up and asked, "I'm sorry, are you alright?"

The woman with long black hair, wearing a mask, slowly stood up.

There was no blood or any injuries on the other person, which relieved Yang Nai.

Upon seeing Yang Nai's appearance, the woman paused for a moment, then asked, "Hello, am I pretty?"

"Ugh?"

Yang Nai was a little confused, but after looking at the woman's black hair...

With her hair and fair skin, although her face wasn't clearly visible under the mask, she still replied, "Quite pretty."

"Well, how about this?"

As the woman spoke, she removed her mask, revealing a huge mouth with two gaping corners, completely ruining the beauty of the upper half of her face.

Upon seeing that face, a sense of dread crept into Yang Nai's heart, and she instantly thought of an urban legend she had read when she was a child.

Slit-mouthed woman.

Not only herself, but Yukino also saw it, and she even cried after watching it.

Yang Nai couldn't believe that this urban legend actually existed.

The next second, she saw the other person pull out a pair of scissors from their pocket and stab her.

Yang Nai immediately turned and ran away, but she was too slow and was slashed on the arm by the other person's scissors, tearing her sleeve and creating a conspicuous wound.

There were some people on the street at this time. After the car hit the person, some passers-by stopped to watch. After the slit-mouthed woman revealed her plastic surgery, the people around screamed and ran away. No one dared to save Yang Nai.

Clutching her wound, Yang Nai turned and ran away without looking back, while the Slit-Mouthed Woman relentlessly pursued her.

At the same time, several men and women dressed in black suits and wearing sunglasses from the vicinity of the street rushed over. After hearing what the passersby said, they grabbed them one by one, erased their memories of seeing the Slit-Mouthed Woman, and then ran towards Yang Nai's direction.

Yang Nai kept running, but the wound on her right hand and the laughter coming from behind terrified her.

The footsteps grew closer, and Yang Nai's fear intensified.

Am I pretty or not?

As this question was uttered, the slit-mouthed woman's scissors pierced through.

Just as Yang Nai was about to be stabbed by the scissors with no way to avoid it, Luo Bai finally arrived.

Upon seeing this scene from the sky, Luo Bai rushed down without hesitation, kicking the slit-mouthed woman into the building next door, smashing a section of the wall and burying her inside.

Upon landing, Luo Bai approached Yang Nai, who was still in a daze, and asked, looking at the wound on her arm, "Sister Yang Nai, how is your injury?"

Blinking, Yang Nai stared blankly at Luo Bai and said, "Xiao Bai, you... flew here?"

"I'll talk about my business later. Is that the guy you bumped into earlier, Yang Nai-jie?"

Looking at the smashed wall, stones were pushed aside, and a woman covered in dust and blood crawled out, but she still rushed towards the two of them.

Yang Nai had long lost her original cheerful older sister demeanor and hid directly behind Luo Bai.

Upon seeing the appearance of the Slit-Mouthed Woman, Luo Bai was also surprised, but his hands moved without hesitation. He directly generated a stream of air that blew the Slit-Mouthed Woman away, and then burst out with cold air, freezing the Slit-Mouthed Woman completely on the pile of rubble.

At the same time that Luo Bai finished dealing with the situation, several men and women in black finally arrived.

Upon seeing Luo Bai's actions, one of the women wearing sunglasses took out her phone, checked the information, and said, "Identity verified, A-level superpower user Luo Bai, friendly personnel."

Then, the group walked over and bowed to Luo Bai.

"Mr. Luo Bai, thank you for your assistance."

Looking at their attire, Luo Bai asked, "Guardians?"

“Yes.” The woman in sunglasses at the head nodded. “Yesterday we received a rumor that the urban legend of the Slit-Mouthed Woman had reappeared, so we started an investigation. Just as we were narrowing down the scope of our investigation, she spotted us in advance and started to flee. As a result, she was indeed hit by Ms. Yukinoshita Haruno’s car.”

Luo Bai nodded. It seemed that Yang Nai was just unlucky. If she hadn't driven today, perhaps none of this would have happened.

At the same time, Luo Bai was also relieved that his superpower had foreseen these events, allowing him to sense them in time; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Pointing to the frozen, slit-mouthed woman over there, Luo Bai said, "You guys deal with that guy. And are there any medical personnel here? There are wounded people here."

Volume 1: Chapter 122 Haruno's Apartment (1/2)

Less than three minutes later, a medical worker arrived with a medical kit and helped Yang Nai treat the injury on her arm.

Fortunately, Yang Nai reacted quickly. Although she was cut by the scissors, the wound was not deep. In addition, the place provided excellent treatment and scar removal ointment, so it will not leave a scar.

Looking at the small tube of ointment in her hand, Yang Nai exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, that's amazing! It really does leave a scar?"

Luo Bai nodded and said, "Don't worry, this is a piece of cake for them."
