It can avoid harming the innocent too.” The Common Face nodded his chin toward Ke Jianghao and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Bai could naturally hear the subtext in the Common Face’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To be honest, I don’t think threatening me with them will work, but…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Halfway through his words, the smile in his eyes became even kinder: “I happen to want to learn more about you guys. Tell me, what game?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, the Common Face grinned, slightly raising the hand holding the gun to indicate no attack intent, then slowly walked to about a meter in front of Lu Bai and stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Click!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Common Face slapped the Broomhandle Mauser onto the counter beside them: “I wonder how much you know about Russian roulette?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Bai had of course heard of this famous game of chance with life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“One bullet in the cylinder, take turns pulling the trigger against your own head, the one who lasts wins…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at the Broomhandle Mauser on the counter, his mouth twitching, and said hesitantly: “But this thing isn’t a revolver, is it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Haha, you don’t need to doubt my mental state. You can check the info on this gun first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Common Face confidently pushed the Broomhandle Mauser toward Lu Bai, seemingly not worried that Lu Bai would turn hostile once he got the gun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Bai reached out and touched the Broomhandle Mauser, and a string of information immediately appeared in his retina.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[A certain Double Eagle’s Pistol (Silver): Infinite bullets, no need to replace magazine, but each use has a certain probability of no bullet in the gun.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After reading the description of the Broomhandle Mauser, Lu Bai was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to evaluate it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frankly speaking, this thing violated the laws of the material world in some sense, but why was the effect it showed so underwhelming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, wanna play a round?” The Common Face rubbed his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Bai took the Broomhandle Mauser in hand and toyed with it, adjusting his emotions and speaking as plainly as possible: “I get it now, you all have unique abilities. Since this gun is yours, what is his ability?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The burly man at the entrance, whose build was like a bodybuilder mister, frowned: “This has nothing to do with the game you’re going to play.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Bai sighed and casually raised the gun at the burly man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without deliberate control, a brilliant smile reappeared on his face: “I didn’t agree to play, and I’m threatening you. You better understand my current action as an interrogation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You dare toy with me.” The Common Face’s complexion was a bit ugly, but still relatively calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t make it sound so ambiguous. You clearly intended to shoot at the start.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Bai waved his hand: “The reason you held back, um… is probably because you’re not sure what my ability is, so for safety, you switched to having me play this so-called roulette with you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plus, you dared to hand me the gun, so unless it’s an accident, that guy’s ability is probably controlling the probability of no bullets? Manipulating luck or something?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Click~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He casually pulled the trigger, and sure enough, no bullet came out of the muzzle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As expected.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Bai nodded and tucked the Broomhandle Mauser into his pocket, with no intention of returning it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no intention of following the other’s script at all; getting the Broomhandle Mauser so easily was an unexpected bonus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He no longer doubted the Common Face’s mental state; now he only worried about this guy’s IQ.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, even if the other could make the Broomhandle Mauser ineffective in his hands, it wouldn’t be much of a loss for him; instead, the other lost a weapon with infinite bullets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Looks like talks broke down… Brother Niu.” The Common Face shrugged helplessly and turned to call out to the burly man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The burly man called Brother Niu silently pulled a Police Handgun from his bosom, expressionlessly aiming the muzzle at Lu Bai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, the Common Face also pulled a Police Handgun from his pocket; they seemed to be from the same police station.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now you can bet whether there’s…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he finished speaking, the Common Face decisively pulled the trigger; clearly, the previous talk was just to distract Lu Bai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With two crisp gunshots, wisps of blue smoke rose from the muzzles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Consecutive screams echoed in the store.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ke Jianghao’s muscles tensed all over, quickly pulling Ke Jiangni to hide behind the shelves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the face of guns, he could only say to fend for themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No way around it; the teachers and students who escaped from campus might not understand the meaning of what Lu Bai and the others were saying, but they absolutely knew what a gunshot meant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had been able to quietly observe the situation before, but after the gunshots, it wouldn’t be easy to stay calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like Zheng Xiaoming, whose legs went weak and he slumped to the ground, mind blank, trembling nonstop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After screaming, Wu Ya unconsciously hid behind the shelves too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still mumbling: “Student Lu… Lu Bai got shot…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he was facing away from them, she wasn’t sure where Lu Bai was hit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only thing certain was that after the gunshot, she saw a splash of blood red on Lu Bai’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Calm down, calm down! Don’t forget Lu Bai’s super ability shown before.” Ke Jianghao’s head hurt from hearing it, and he quickly pacified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hiss~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Bai winced in pain, clutching his wound, stumbling back two steps: “No wonder they say villains die from talking too much.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could still self-deprecate because he felt he was fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had indeed been on guard against the Common Face shooting, but he didn’t expect Brother Niu to be so unchivalrous too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He barely dodged the shot from the Common Face aimed at his head; Brother Niu’s shot he could only take head-on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, the Police Handgun wasn’t known for its lethality, plus Lu Bai’s muscles enhanced by the Zombie Virus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Relying on [Super Regeneration], taking this shot directly—saying unscathed would be exaggerated—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just a flesh wound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At most, that big pool of blood looked a bit scary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Common Face didn’t know this; no matter how you looked, it seemed like he was on the verge of death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he confidently walked over and pressed the muzzle against Lu Bai’s head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pretty tough, huh, dodging bullets and all.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1242,"2026-06-03T05:31:12.386Z","2026-06-03T05:31:16.602Z",1,"novelbin.me","e0c9f73bfb50269f5c1a9780b63290fd500c03b51f964f62e5ca2c1af7cd184b","my-ability-pool-is-superior-chapter-13","my-ability-pool-is-superior-chapter-11",479,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmy-ability-pool-is-superior-cover.jpg"]
