Only I Have the Law: A Fantasy Daily Life

Chapter 53 Manifestation of Mental Power: The Emerging Intimidating Aura

11:50 p.m.

If this were Chen Baiyu's hometown in JS Province, it would be quite normal to see the streets completely deserted.

But this is Sichuan.

Having stayed here for a while, he knew that this place was full of extraordinary people and had a culture that preferred to enjoy entertainment.

11:50?
It's just the beginning of the nightlife.

Although there are fewer people in the neighborhood than on the main street, there are still quite a few.

Chen Baiyu's appearance after his third transformation was quite eye-catching, with a shiny bald head and a scalp that gleamed coldly under the streetlights in the neighborhood.

His physique was as strong as a wall, and the work jacket he wore was stretched taut by his muscles.

So it did attract the attention of some people on the street.

The two young men carrying barbecue skewers were chatting and laughing, but when they saw him, they visibly paused, and a hint of wariness flashed in their eyes.

They instinctively moved to the side, and only dared to continue speaking after he had gone far away, their voices very low.

A couple sat on a bench in the central garden, chatting with their heads down.

The girl caught a glimpse of him out of the corner of her eye and suddenly tugged at his sleeve.

The two of them looked up at him together, their gazes lingering on him for two seconds before they hurriedly looked away, as if afraid of being watched.

He even heard a girl whisper, "This guy looks really fierce..."

along the way.

Chen Baiyu did not deliberately dodge.

That's exactly the kind of "eye-catching" thing he wanted.

Let the bald, muscular man, who bears no resemblance to himself, be remembered by others.

A surveillance camera on a street corner not far away faithfully recorded the figure of this bald, burly man as he turned into Building No. 1 of the Jinxiuyuan Phase I project.

Then, there were no further records.

Because Jinxiuyuan is a very special community.

The first phase of the project was developed many years ago, and the second phase was developed in recent years. The layout and planning of both phases were not very scientific or reasonable at the time of their development.

As a result, the terrain and building structure here are quite complex, and delivery drivers often get lost.

Furthermore, surveillance infrastructure is not being deployed across most key routes.

"Tonight is so complicated and cautious, people might think I'm infiltrating the White House."

Standing in front of Unit 1 of Building 1, Chen Baiyu couldn't help but mutter to himself.

However, he knew that this was a necessary measure.

The police may not be professional enough or attentive enough, so even if they are not so careful, they may not be caught.

Whether or not he gets found doesn't affect his caution; he should always assume the worst-case scenario of being found.

He looked up at the lit window on the third floor, which was the home of the petty thug.

Although I've never been here before.

However, with his amazing hearing, he could vaguely detect that the game sound effects were still coming out intermittently, mixed with impatient curses.

It was the same person who spoke to me on the phone, with that arrogant voice.

He was about to step forward.

Suddenly, I heard a dog bark from the flower bed not far away.

Chen Baiyu turned her head at the sound and her gaze instantly locked onto the edge of the flower bed, where a large wolfhound was sniffing with its head down.

Its dark brown fur was messy, and its ears stood straight up.

Chen Baiyu recognized it at a glance; it was the same dog that had bitten Bai Jin during the day.

There was a photo of it posted by Aunt Zhang on WeChat, and Chen Baiyu herself actually had some memories of this little rascal's dog.

I won't admit I'm wrong!

It wasn't tethered at the moment.

Clearly, that thug had let his dog roam freely outside, and even though he had caused a disturbance with the police just a few hours earlier, he continued to do as he pleased.

now.

The dog seemed to have noticed his gaze.

She suddenly raised her head, her amber eyes staring straight at him, a low growl emanating from her throat, clearly aggressive.

Its bared teeth revealed sharp canines.

Its cries grew fiercer, and it approached him step by step. This would have been unusual for an ordinary person.

At this point, they might turn and run away, or they might stomp their feet in an attempt to scare the dog away.

Chen Baiyu did indeed stand still, simply looking at the dog.

The image of Platinum being bitten flashed through my mind.

Its hind legs were a bloody mess, and it was trembling with pain. There was also a wound at the pet hospital that required more than a dozen stitches.

A chill ran up from the bottom of my heart.

As the blood flowed through my body, even my breathing became a few degrees colder.

He didn't speak, but his eyes darkened.

It was a chilling, murderous aura unlike anything I'd ever experienced before.

At this moment, a strange scene happened.

The wolfhound was initially quite aggressive.

But the moment Chen Baiyu's gaze swept over, it was as if something had gripped his throat tightly, and his cry came to an abrupt halt.

Its body stiffened abruptly, its high-raised tail drooped down and tucked between its legs, and its front legs trembled slightly uncontrollably.

next second.

It plopped down on the ground with a "thud," its head pressed tightly against the ground, its ears drooping, barely daring to breathe, and even instinctively shrinking back as if avoiding some extremely terrifying being.

The ferocity from before vanished, leaving only extreme fear.

Chen Baiyu was stunned for a moment.

This is……

momentum?

The kind of aura that Chen Baiyu was thinking about at this moment was not the kind of personal influence that is conveyed in reality through posture, eyes, speech speed, breathing, body movements, identity, status, and past achievements.

Rather, it is the invisible and intangible aura depicted in many novels.

The "intimidating aura" in fantasy novels is essentially a concrete manifestation of the "rule-crushing" of higher-level power over lower-level beings. It transforms the abstract strengths of a character, such as cultivation level, realm, bloodline, or will, into a perceptible sense of physical/mental oppression.

The core purpose is to quickly highlight the differences in character levels and strengthen the "hierarchical order" of the combat power system.

Such a thing shouldn't exist in reality.

But apart from that, he couldn't think of anything else to explain the current situation.

This might be a side effect of the spiritual upgrade.

He hadn't noticed it before.

He had never felt such strong emotions towards a person before, but when faced with the dog that had bitten Platinum, the anger and murderous intent surged up almost instinctively.

Therefore, the aura naturally emanates from it.

People may not feel it very clearly.

But to animals, it would probably be extremely conspicuous.

They would feel as if a natural enemy had descended upon them, a truly deadly threat.

While thinking.

Chen Baiyu looked down at the wolfhound lying on the ground, trembling.

Although the dog indirectly helped him realize the presence of imposing aura, he felt no sympathy whatsoever.

This dog wasn't this timid when it pounced on Platinum.

Chen Baiyu took a step forward, her footsteps sounding particularly clear in the quiet night.

The wolfhound trembled with fear, immediately closing its eyes and whimpering in pleading for mercy.

next moment.

Sensing the presence of the aura, Chen Baiyu instinctively and skillfully controlled it, instantly suppressing it until it seemed to disappear completely.

The wolfhound's trembling movement also startled it.

But before it could open its eyes, it could no longer open them.

Chen Baiyu glanced at the wolfhound whose neck he had broken on the ground, but felt no emotion whatsoever.

He didn't intend to waste any more words on this brainless thing; hesitating even slightly to let it live a little longer would be a waste of air.

There was no pause afterwards.

He casually picked up the dead dog and continued walking towards the third floor.
