My Strength Is Something Else
The way her red dress fluttered in the wind had a unique beauty to it.
However, this scene was like a death knell to the local people and personnel, frightening many into standing frozen in place.
Run!
"Don't just stand there."
Some people finally realized what was happening and tried to escape, but before they could even turn around, their eyes became empty, and everything around them seemed to no longer matter.
The Red-clothed Female Ghost, whose face was obscured, descended, but her small red embroidered shoes seemed not to touch the ground.
A blurry face called out, the tone sometimes angry, sometimes resentful. "Come, come, come..."
As its call rang out, the expressions of the nearby residents, whose eyes were vacant, grew even more bewildered.
Unconsciously, they walked towards the direction where the Red-clothed Female Ghost was, and at first glance, it seemed as if they were surrounding her.
If it weren't for the eerie appearance of the Red-clothed Female Ghost, the scene would have been quite peaceful and serene.
Bang!
A gunshot shattered the silence of the night.
Captain Mao gritted his teeth and pulled the trigger again.
He knew, of course, that such an attack would have absolutely no effect on the Red-clothed Female Ghost, but he simply couldn't bear to be in such a precarious position.
The rest of the team members were probably inspired by Captain Mao; since they couldn't escape, they had to tear off a piece of the monster's flesh no matter what.
With this in mind, the members of the Action Department present took turns firing their guns, engaging in a heated exchange. Even Li Hanbin drew his sidearm and joined in.
Meanwhile, the other people who had not yet been affected by the Red-clothed Female Ghost were simply retreating frantically, hoping to find a flaw in this eerie blockade.
As for Lu Bai, he stared at the female ghost for a while as if nothing had happened, then turned to the nearby vegetation, plucked a willow twig, and patiently removed the forks from it.
After finishing his preparations, Lu Bai pushed through the crowd and walked straight towards the Red-clothed Female Ghost.
After all, everyone was running out, but he was the only one going against the flow, making him stand out in the crowd.
Li Hanbin stopped reloading, and as his gaze inadvertently swept across the crowd, he immediately spotted Lu Bai and called out, "Xiao Lü! What are you doing? Don't go that way!"
He had observed that within a radius of about thirty meters centered on the Red-clothed Female Ghost, anyone who entered this area would seem to have their consciousness stripped away, and would walk towards it in a daze.
Hearing Li Hanbin's shout, Lu Bai glanced at him and then returned a friendly smile, "You guys aren't up to par, let me do it, I'm stronger."
Before he finished speaking, he raised his left hand and rapidly condensed it according to the energy flow path of the Lightning Law.
As night fell over the neighborhood, a sudden burst of light broke through the darkness, as if daylight had overshadowed the night, dazzling and intense.
After that flickering flash of lightning, those present heard the deafening roar of thunder that overwhelmed all other noises.
Sizzle!!!
In an instant, the only thing that could attract attention in the entire residential area was the lightning crackling in Lu Bai's palm.
Even those citizens who had been bewitched by the Red-clothed Female Ghost were brought back to their senses by the shock of the Lightning Law.
The Red-clothed Female Ghost, who was the focus of Lightning Law's attack, let out an extremely shrill scream.
The screams echoed throughout the entire neighborhood, even making many people feel dizzy.
"This is fucking..."
Li Hanbin was so shocked that his eyes widened. He was probably the one who had seen the entire lightning strike process most clearly.
The white lightning that erupted from Lu Bai's hand was simply beyond his comprehension.
Fighting lightning with bare hands? Is that even a human being capable of?!
After the lightning flashed, all the gunfire on the field stopped in unison.
Captain Mao stared at Lu Bai's palm, which was still crackling with electricity, and his body trembled instinctively.
"Holy crap!"
"What happened?!"
"Is there thunder?"
Even though the personnel in the Action Department had already seen that the lightning bolt was fired by Lu Bai, they still found it hard to believe and could hardly believe their eyes.
After being struck head-on by a Lightning Law, the Red-clothed Female Ghost was badly wrecked, with large areas of her long red dress charred black, and even several parts of the hem turned into pieces.
However, Lu Bai was not entirely satisfied with this situation.
Compared to the Old Man Tour Guide was instantly blasted to pieces, the Red-clothed Female Ghost, after being hit, not only retained her intact form but also appeared to have suffered only minor injuries.
Sizzle~
Lu Bai did not unleash another Palm Lightning. Instead, he continued walking towards the Red-clothed Female Ghost, flicking his hand along the way to dissipate the crackling electricity in his palm.
"This..."
Upon seeing this, some people involuntarily opened their mouths wide.
A handsome young man with an ethereal air walked slowly toward the terrifying and eerie sight, a kind smile playing on his lips.
I wonder how many people will etch this scene into their memories.
For the first time since her appearance, the Red-clothed Female Ghost spoke in human language, "... What are you?"
Its voice was very hoarse, as if a venomous snake was stuck in its throat.
"My name is Lu Bai, I'm a food delivery driver. Let's talk later."
Lu Bai returned a bright smile, then raised the trimmed willow branch in his right hand and swung it down without hesitation.
Sigh~
The willow branches whistled through the air.
Normally speaking, even if a willow twig is flung out of the air with a whooshing sound, its power is far less than that of a bullet.
But when the willow branch fell on the Red-clothed Female Ghost, it caused her to scream uncontrollably again.
The key issue wasn't just the pain; one could notice that the moment the willow branch landed on the Red-clothed Female Ghost, her body visibly shrank.
"A willow twig can be used to strike a ghost; one strike and it will make the ghost shrink three inches."
Lu Bai pinched the willow twig between his index finger and thumb and swung it repeatedly, seemingly without any effort at all.
Each time the Red-clothed Female Ghost was hit, it would let out a scream, its body would quickly wither, and it wouldn't even have a chance to fight back.
Whether it was Captain Mao, Li Hanbin, or any other personnel from the Action Department, everyone was in a daze.
Some people even instinctively covered their children's eyes.
They had never seen such a bizarre and disheveled situation before, and for a moment they felt as if they were watching a niche, erotic film.
After hearing so many screams from the Red-clothed Female Ghost, I couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy.
"Little... Lu Bai, Master, how about we just give him a quick death?"
Captain Mao struggled to break free from that dazed state.
Although the crisis is now clearly over.
But his emotions were far from calm; on the contrary, he was many times more shocked than before.
Beyond the joy of surviving a catastrophe, Lu Bai's appearance made him realize that humanity had the potential to eliminate the supernatural.
