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

Chapter 106 : Escaped Test Subject

Bai Ling observed Su Wanying until dawn approached, just like yesterday. Except for a few strange moans, she didn't get any useful information."Well, it really is just dreaming, no other effects."

But this watch actually led me to this bar, which means there must be something wrong here. If the problem isn't with the drunk people, then where could the problem be?

Bai Ling shook her head, deciding to observe for a while longer, since no other clues appeared on the watch.

After confirming there was no danger, Bai Ling returned home.

【Is Su Wanying's squad always this idle? Not a single mission for several days】

Bai Ling remembered her time with Chi Xiaoyu's squad - they had to work every day.

Dawn was approaching, but the sky was still somewhat overcast. A girl wearing a hood walked down the street and came to a steamed bun shop.

At this time, breakfast shops had already opened early. The petite girl looked up, poking her mouth with one finger, looking very hungry.

"Little miss, fresh meat buns just out of the steamer - want one?"

"I..."

The girl shook her head and suddenly turned to run away. The middle-aged man scratched his head.

"Eh? Don't go!"

"Did I scare her?"

The girl ran into a dark alley, hugged her head and crouched down. Drool flowed from the corner of her mouth from hunger. Her right eye emitted purple light, but her black left eye was full of fear.

【No, I can't do that】

【Why would I want to eat people?】

【I'm a monster】

Just then, a light portal suddenly appeared, and a woman dressed elegantly with a small lock hanging from her neck emerged.

"Found you!"

The girl crouching on the ground looked up and, seeing the woman's appearance, fled in terror.

"No, don't kill me."

The woman chased the girl, holding a key in her hand, aiming at the girl's direction and shouting:

"Astral Gate, deploy!"

Suddenly the ground around them disappeared. The space around the girl was replaced with outer space, containing countless brilliant stars. She lost the ability to move.

"No, no."

"Let's see where you run now!"

The woman took out a syringe and slowly walked toward the girl. To catch this escaped anomaly, she had put in considerable effort. Now she could finally get what she wanted.

The girl looked in terror at the approaching woman, constantly muttering "no." She didn't want to return to that hellish place.

"No no no no no no."

The girl's right eye became increasingly bright. At her plea, a purple orb suddenly appeared in her hands.

The girl didn't hesitate to throw it out.

Seeing this, the woman thought "oh no" and opened the lock around her neck. An elemental giant made of rock appeared, blocking in front of her.

"Dealing with S-grade? Very well, this is the first time."

"I am the Elemental Lord, the purest energy incarnation in the world. Earth Element - Fortress of Earth."

A solid high wall rose up, surrounding the woman without leaving any gaps. At that very moment, the purple orb exploded, creating a spherical space with a diameter of one hundred meters. Countless thin purple streams of light darted around in this space. Within this space filled with purple streams of light, all objects were attacked indiscriminately. The streams of light bounced continuously, moving faster and faster.

"Hello? Lin Bai? There's a mission."

"Oh, coming."

Lin Bai arrived at the Anomaly Investigation Bureau sleepily to meet up with Su Wanying.

【I was just about to sleep - how come there's a mission at this time?】

【I just said Su Wanying's squad was pretty idle】

In the meeting room were one man and two women plus Su Wanying. The moment she saw Lin Bai, Su Wanying's cheeks flushed slightly as if thinking of something, then she shook her head and said seriously:

"Just now, in A City, XX Street, a purple space visible to the naked eye appeared, suspected to be an anomaly's technique. Our squad will handle it."

"Okay."

Everyone nodded or answered.

"By the way, this is our new team member, Lin Bai, also a B-grade contractor. Introduce yourselves and get to know each other on the way."

Everyone followed Su Wanying into the car. The only male team member in the car patted Lin Bai's shoulder:

"Bro, I'm Yan Mo. Welcome to the team!"

"Thanks, I'm Lin Bai."

The girl sitting next to Lin Bai also spoke:

"Lin Bai? I'll remember that. I'm Luo Xi, please take care of me."

The girl showed a sweet smile.

The loli sitting in the passenger seat snorted:

"Just call me Yao Yao. Newbie, don't hold us back."

"I won't, don't worry."

Lin Bai nodded. The team members seemed easy to get along with - just didn't know how strong they were.

Soon they arrived at their destination. The purple sphere in front was so dazzling they could see it from far away.

"My goodness, what grade of anomalous technique is this?" Yan Mo opened his mouth in amazement.

"At least A-grade, right?" Luo Xi analyzed.

"Who cares, let's go in and see." Yao Yao said carelessly.

"Follow me."

She summoned a fluffy toy teddy bear that deployed a circular protective barrier.

But just as everyone was about to enter that purple space filled with bouncing streams of light, countless keyholes appeared, and E Company employees blocked their path.

"Everyone, this area is already being handled by our E Company. Please return."

"Damn, aren't they stealing our performance?" Yan Mo clenched his fists indignantly.

Su Wanying stepped forward and showed her Anomaly Investigation Bureau captain credentials, expressionless:

"According to regulations, if companies can't handle it within thirty minutes, we can intervene. There are still ten minutes left."

The leading E Company executive was clearly displeased and turned to look inside the purple sphere.

【Damn it】

"No no no no."

The girl curled up in a ball, muttering "no" in her mouth. She was very afraid - afraid of returning to that previous place, afraid of becoming a monster.

Beside her, under the rock fortress, if the elemental giant could sweat, he would definitely be sweating profusely now.

"Hey, I'm saying, how did you guys create such a strong S-grade?"

"..."

"I can barely hold on. You might as well give up."

"Give up? Do you know how much trouble I went through to get her?"

"I can barely hold on anyway. If you die, who am I supposed to find to honor the conditions you promised me?"

No matter how hard the rock, being attacked by these increasingly fast purple streams of light bouncing around, it would be destroyed!

"No no no, go away go away go away!"

The girl still didn't dare open her eyes. She was afraid of seeing that woman who brought her hell, and afraid of seeing herself become a monster.
