Switching Back and Forth

Lu Bai was dumbfounded as he stared at the staff member who was in freefall in mid-air.

Fortunately, he reacted relatively quickly.

With things having come to this point, he could only activate [Flash Time]. Without time to carefully select, he randomly picked a usable ability to replace [Flying Slash of the Great Swordsman].

Then, it reached out its palm towards the rapidly falling staff member, and an invisible and colorless force extended from its palm, stopping the staff member's fall.

[Psychokinesis (Gold): The ability to directly influence physical systems through consciousness; the cost of using this ability depends on the mass of the target to which the influence is applied.]

Lu Bai's "discard pile" does contain quite a few abilities that could be used in this situation, but due to the urgency of the situation, he simply couldn't choose the most suitable one.

His outstretched hand slowly moved down, guiding the worker to a landing.

Before the staff member could land safely, he looked up and warned, "I was just kidding. If you jump again, I won't be responsible."

It was thanks to his reminder that so many people on the rooftop saw him safely catch the person.

With successful examples to follow, if he had spoken any slower, these people on the rooftop would probably have jumped off like dumplings being dropped into a pot.

Of course, because they had witnessed such a thing firsthand, even though Lu Bai stopped them from jumping further, the panic on the rooftop stopped spreading.

Minister Zhang's secretary was somewhat relieved, but after seeing the message he received, he still decided to give a reminder.

He leaned close to Minister Zhang's ear and whispered, "Minister, Kayako is already on the Fourth Floor."

Minister Zhang was pondering how to inform Lu Bai when he heard a series of exclamations from the surrounding crowd.

It turned out that Lu Bai took a step forward and suddenly rose into the air.

In less than a second, Lu Bai leaped over the height of five stories and arrived at a position level with the rooftop.

"Master Lu! Please save us!"

Do you remember me?

"That's great! I knew our Guardian God wouldn't abandon us."

Lu Bai raised his hand and pressed it down, signaling everyone to calm down.

With his own power and the publicity he had been doing during this period, his prestige was enough to make even these high-ranking officials listen to him.

The scene immediately fell silent, and people looked at him with reverence, making no attempt to hide their excitement.

"Don't worry, everyone, I understand the situation."

With an innocent smile on his face, Lu Bai looked at the iron gate at the entrance to the rooftop. "Kayako, is that it?"

Before he could finish speaking, a sinister smile suddenly broke out.

Hehehe...

It's worth mentioning that the laughter is very clear, yet it's difficult to pinpoint where it's coming from; in a daze, it can feel as if it's right next to your ear.

Lu Bai moved forward and landed lightly on the rooftop.

Faced with such eerie laughter, he chuckled casually, "Don't try that trick. If you scare me, I'm capable of anything."

Kayako seemed to understand what Lu Bai was saying, and after hearing it, she actually showed herself.

She emerged from the rooftop entrance in an extremely ergonomically unsound manner, writhing and twisting, accompanied by a series of teeth-grinding screeching sounds. Her two thin, wiry arms pressed against the ground, like a coiled spider.

Just seeing her appear like this makes one feel physically uncomfortable.

Her long, drooping black hair obscured most of her face, but through the gaps in the hair, one could see a bloodshot pupil staring intently at Lu Bai.

Suddenly, Kayako moved, crawling straight toward Lu Bai.

By human standards, this crawling speed is not actually fast.

But everyone present seemed to be bound by some invisible force, losing control of their own bodies.

When Kayako closed the distance to within two meters of Lu Bai, she launched herself forward and bit down on Lu Bai's head.

"Careful!"

The situation on the scene took a sharp turn for the worse. Minister Zhang's forehead was instantly covered in cold sweat. He used all his strength, but could only utter these two words. Many people closed their eyes in despair.

Bang!!!

The imagined scene of blood splattering did not materialize.

Instead, a deep, almost deafening metallic hum resounded.

[Steel Body): Grants superhuman defensive capabilities, allowing you to remain unharmed even when entering the core of the sun. However, be aware that contact with certain types of radioactive rocks will negate the defensive effect.]

Lu Bai reached up and scratched his head a few times, then suddenly exerted force, throwing Kayako.

Even Kayako, who harbored deep resentment, was visibly bewildered when faced with this situation.

Lu Bai reached up and touched his neck, his smile growing even brighter.

Although he wasn't injured at all thanks to the [Steel Body] buff, he still disliked the experience of being bitten by that strange creature.

The [Restore] ability has been changed again.

He took a step forward.

A cross symbol appeared out of thin air in the palm of his right hand.

The next second, his right fist clenched, and it suddenly burst forth with an amazing radiance, not dazzling, but rather carrying a holy and noble aura.

Everyone who saw this light couldn't help but want to bow down in worship.

A fist gleaming with golden light struck Kayako's head with pinpoint accuracy, as if teleporting.

Boom!

The warm glow that would be comforting to an ordinary person made Kayako feel extremely uncomfortable, as if it were an intensely hot and scorching temperature.

An aura of sacred inviolability surged into the sky, tearing a large hole in Kayako's head. The light continued to spread like a purification process, eventually enveloping Kayako's entire body.

It not only suppressed and eliminated the resentful and malevolent energy emanating from her, but also completely disintegrated her existence on a physical level.

Everyone was stunned by what they saw. Several older executives even clutched their chests in excitement, unable to bear such a shocking scene.

Compared to previous methods like using Yellow Talisman to open altars, the Heavenly Fist ability more easily highlights the distinction between good and evil through its special effects.

In the past, they called Lu Bai their Guardian God, which was more like a simple and hopeful vision. But after seeing Lu Bai demonstrate this ability, it was as if they had witnessed a real god with their own eyes. They couldn't wait to follow him and become his believers.

However, it's not all good.

Perhaps the eerie energy was extremely averse to this type of energy, because after Lu Bai unleashed the [Heavenly Fist], the black hole in the sky reacted violently.

The oppressive aura already emanating from the black hole intensified several times over.

Even around the black hole, thick black clouds rolled in.
