The Mysterious Battery Thief

"Ah!!! I can't see! I can't see!"

"Everyone, don't panic, stay calm!"

"Careful!"

"Don't panic, the more chaotic it gets, the more dangerous it becomes."

It's important to understand that while these police officers are in charge of handling strange incidents, their knowledge of the supernatural is limited to their job duties; they are essentially just ordinary people.

Faced with a strange entity possessing supernatural powers, they clearly had no ability to resist.

Even though the middle-aged police officer leading the team kept shouting for everyone to calm down, his own mood was actually plummeting.

He couldn't discern what kind of bizarre method this was.

If it's just a matter of not recognizing it at first, that's fine. But the real fear is that this might be another new kind of eeriness.

Because they knew nothing of the strange new arrival.

Only after countless lives have been lost and the strange habits and rules have been gradually discovered will a clear way to deal with them be found.

Therefore, whenever a new strange phenomenon appears, it almost always means that it will cause extremely tragic casualties.

The middle-aged police officer was very responsible. Under these circumstances, he no longer thought about how to survive, but instead considered how to leave behind as much information as possible about this "strange" situation.

Of course,

It turned out to be a false alarm.

Lu Bai, who created this darkness, had already silently bypassed the police officers at the park entrance, hopped on his electric scooter, and sped away.

Once back in his rented apartment, Lu Bai casually turned off the dark area near the park entrance.

They no longer cared what those self-righteous, survivors were thinking.

He locked the door, turned on his phone, and prepared to learn about the world online.

This is actually a bit of a problem for him.

After all, he chose to go out partly to familiarize himself with the surroundings and partly to see if he could encounter any deathmatchers.

On the other hand, it was also because his phone was too old; it would take forever to load even a simple app.

I never expected that after messing around for almost two hours, I would still have to come back and endure the torment of this broken phone.

Fortunately, Lu Bai didn't experience any negative emotions like regret or frustration, and patiently logged into a Weibo-like app.

It froze for about ten seconds on the login screen alone. After entering the main interface of the software, I reached out and swiped twice, but there was still no response.

I've been tormented by this broken phone for a long time.

He eventually learned about this world.

It turned out that his guess was pretty much correct.

This world does indeed contain some strange and bizarre phenomena.

But these strange creatures don't seem to be native to this world; rather, they suddenly appeared on a large scale two years ago.

Especially in the early stages of the strange event, within a month, the human population on the entire planet was almost halved, and some backward small countries were even wiped out in this bizarre turmoil.

In order to deal with a crisis of human extinction, several major powers had to put aside their differences and take the lead in establishing Crisis Joint Countermeasures Association to share bizarre intelligence.

Only as people gained a more comprehensive understanding of the strange occurrences were the near-collapse situation barely stabilized.

Even so, the bizarre has become humanity's number one problem.

They would rather slow down the pace of social development than fail to allocate funds for matters related to bizarre events.

But pessimistically speaking, these measures are nothing more than a temporary reprieve.

Since there is no effective means to eliminate the supernatural, it is destined that sooner or later the supernatural will completely invade the remaining areas where humans live.

Incidentally, the Crisis Joint Countermeasures Association has also compiled a list of currently known anomalies.

Ranked according to the degree of strangeness and danger.

This ranking does not represent the strength of the strange methods; it simply depends on how much of a threat the strange method poses to humanity.

For example, Slender Ghost, who only kills one person at a time, is far less threatening to humans than Dream Killer Freddy can affect thousands of people at once.

The sequence for the former is 103, and the sequence for the latter is 45.

Although the sequences of the two are very different, it is really hard to say which method is stronger.

The darkness before my eyes dissipated.

The middle-aged police officer gripped his service pistol tightly. Even though he knew it couldn't harm the supernatural, it was the only thing that could provide psychological comfort when facing it alone.

"What on earth happened?" He looked around warily, gun in hand.

When visibility returned, many of the police officers present were stunned.

They imagined the supernatural being would kill them in the darkness, and they also thought that perhaps the supernatural being would lead them to follow some bizarre rules.

I never expected that nothing would happen like this.

They counted the number of people present, and not a single one was missing.

He was prepared to die for his cause, but it turned out to be a false alarm. The dramatic contrast between joy and sorrow caused the bespectacled police officer to collapse to the ground on the spot.

No one will laugh at him, because everyone is pretty much the same.

The middle-aged police officer swallowed hard, his gaze sweeping over each of his officers. "Are you... all alright?"

He even suspected that he was still in a strange, unknown hallucination.

The police officer who had been on duty at the post touched his head and then his arm.

"It seems like nothing's wrong."

"Am I seeing things...?"

"Idiot, it's normal to have blurred vision when you've been in the dark for a long time and then suddenly see light."

Soon, police officers noticed that the electric scooter parked at the park entrance was missing.

Pointing to where the electric scooter had been, he exclaimed in surprise, "Look!"

The middle-aged police officer's lips twitched; his mind was in turmoil.

I took a few deep breaths and forced myself to accept the fact that he had an unknown and strange fondness for electric scooters.

He waved his hand and said, "Let's get away from it first. This unknown monster might make a move."

The police officers present remained outside the park until the following morning.

The expert team has arrived and is using some experimental testing methods to determine the extent to which the Old Man Tour Guide's strange activities have expanded.

As for the strange theft of electric bicycles mentioned by the police officers, although they took it seriously, they found no trace of its existence and felt no sense of unease whatsoever.

After all, the weirdo doesn't kill people, he only steals electric bikes...

That sounds rather ridiculous.

Taking advantage of the daytime, the personnel from the Action Department, each wearing an iron chain, formed a long, single-file line and bravely entered the park.

They soon discovered charred objects scattered on the ground next to a public bench.

But it didn't have any burnt or pungent smell; instead, it had a slight incense-like aroma.

According to their understanding from the Old Man Tour Guide, humans who are affected should disappear without a trace.

For a moment, the leader of the Action Department fell into deep thought.

What are these things?
