Becoming a White-Haired Witch in a World Full of Anomalies

Chapter 105 : Successful Escape

Nolan put her hands together and then drew out a purple whip, looking at Bai Ling. Although she wore an eyepatch, this didn't affect her movements."What, won't let people leave now?"

"If you had looked at the Mother Body and been affected, I would naturally be willing to let you go. After all, affected people will eventually come back crying and begging, because without the Mother Body's medicine, it feels like ants crawling all over your body."

【As expected】

"But I didn't expect you to be completely unaffected. Hehe, then it's not something you can leave just because you want to!"

"What if I insist on leaving today?"

"Then we'll have to see your strength."

Bai Ling opened the door trying to leave, but was struck by Nolan's whip. After the door was closed, she pressed a button on the office desk, and the room was instantly enveloped in a defensive shield.

"Until I figure out why you're not affected, I won't let you leave here."

"Hmph, then just try it."

Bai Ling attached herself to the wall, trying to seep out as blood.

"Hehe, although I don't know what ability you used, it's useless. This place has now completely formed a sealed space."

Seeing she couldn't leave, Bai Ling tried to press that button on the desk, but the woman whipped her whip to stop her movements.

"Don't even think about it!"

The two engaged in close combat, but no matter how Bai Ling tried, Nolan's reactions were always a step faster than hers. Even when she changed her body shape to extend and contract her arms, she couldn't reach that button.

【Why can she always react to my movements? Even though she's wearing an eyepatch, it's like she can see through me】

Bai Ling analyzed the principle. Just as she was observing the room's decorations, the woman spoke again:

"When the Chief returns, we can have a good talk. Maybe we can even cooperate?"

【Chief? Looks like I need to leave quickly, or I might not be able to win】

Bai Ling discovered that most decorations in the room were common, except for a few places with small bottles containing purple mist.

【Could it be related to this?】

Bai Ling pretended to press the button, then suddenly pulled back and came to one of the small bottles, transforming her palm into a bone blade and cutting the bottle open. Purple gas instantly filled the entire room.

"No! That's expensive."

The woman said somewhat heartbrokenly.

"These bottles are your eyes in some sense?"

"So what if you know?"

"Then of course I'll smash them all and leave here."

"If you can do it."

Nolan stopped holding back and summoned her contracted anomaly - a faceless man. He looked like an ordinary person but had no face.

【What kind of anomaly is this?】

"Hehe, you better behave yourself. I don't want to kill you."

Bai Ling approached the purple bottles again. Just as she was about to succeed, that anomaly faced Bai Ling and stroked its face with its hand. Bai Ling felt a sense of suffocation, and the faceless man's face became Bai Ling's appearance!

Bai Ling felt like she had lost her facial features - unable to breathe, see, or hear.

【...】

The woman originally planned to return the facial features to Bai Ling when she couldn't take it anymore and collapsed, but unexpectedly, Bai Ling's regenerative ability was very strong, and new facial features grew out.

"Are you really human?"

This refreshed the woman's understanding again. She hadn't expected someone who lost their facial features to immediately grow a new set.

"Sorry, the ears regenerated slowly, I didn't hear what you said clearly."

Bai Ling smiled and smashed another bottle.

【Two more left】

"Hmph, don't get too cocky."

The woman's reaction speed was clearly not as good as before. The whip she swung sometimes missed completely. Bai Ling easily broke another bottle. Just as she was about to smash the last bottle, Nolan spoke:

"Wait!"

"What?"

"You can go. I can't stop you. The bottle's gas has no effect on you either. You're simply not like a human."

The room's shield was opened. Seeing this, Bai Ling transformed back into Captain Wang Yan's appearance and waved her hand.

"Then, goodbye - oh wait, it should be never see you again!"

After Bai Ling left, Nolan recorded what happened today, filing it in top secret archives.

"Someday, I will catch you."

○

"Hello?"

"Hello? It's me, Captain Wang. Did Nolan give you pills?"

"No."

"She didn't? Then how about this - I'll share one with you."

"Really? Thanks!"

【The sun's rising in the west? Usually so stingy but willing to share a pill with me today】

Captain Wang Yan scratched his head. He still didn't know what had happened inside the company.

Sitting on the bed, Bai Ling was struggling to clean the abnormalities on her body - eyes that grew from Mother Body erosion, rotting flesh from purple mist erosion. The girl endured the pain and removed these substances. As the Blood Witch, this pollution wasn't enough to affect her.

"Damn, this crappy company is raising poison."

"One look and I grow dozens of eyeballs - scared me to death!"

"It's almost evening again."

After taking a bath, Bai Ling transformed back into Lin Bai's appearance and sent Su Wanying a message.

"Off work yet?"

"What's up?"

"Same as yesterday, let's meet at the bar."

"Who invites a girl to drink at a bar every day?"

"Eh? Not coming?"

Su Wanying, sitting at her office desk, thought about yesterday's dream and Lin Bai's character, feeling somewhat hesitant.

"Alright then."

"Good, same spot."

The assistant beside her saw Su Wanying's expression for the first time and smiled:

"Captain Su, are you in love?"

"No way."

Su Wanying shook her head somewhat shyly.

"Pfft, with that reaction, you're definitely in love! Come on, tell me how you met!"

"Just ordinary friends."

"Captain, you're at that age too. You should find a boyfriend. If he's suitable, don't miss the chance - being tsundere ruins lives!"

"Alright, alright, go do your work."

"Oh."

The female assistant left the room, and Su Wanying showed an expectant expression again.

【Can I continue yesterday's dream today?】

○

"You came?"

Lin Bai didn't waste words and directly pushed a glass of alcohol in front of Su Wanying, smiling:

"How many glasses can you drink today?"

"Hehe, definitely won't be like yesterday where two glasses knocked me out."

"Good, then drink."

Lin Bai just watched the girl. Before drinking, Su Wanying asked back:

"Aren't you drinking?"

"You drink one glass first. If you get drunk, I won't drink."

"Oh."

【Hmph, who are you looking down on? How could one glass possibly...】

Su Wanying collapsed face-down on the table.

"I knew it. This alcohol should taste like ordinary alcohol - Su Wanying absolutely can't drink!"

"One glass and she's down."

The girl lying on the table drooled from the corner of her mouth, showing a satisfied smile.

"Hehe, continuing from where I left off."
