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

Chapter 85 : Predicting the Future? Or Returning to the Past?

Where Bai Ling wasIn the chaotic city, this place at the city center was very quiet, as if it hadn't been drawn into this war. In a small alley, two girls whispered to each other.

"What mission are you going to carry out?"

Chi Xiaoyu and she hid inside a building, observing the situation outside.

"Shh!"

Bai Ling and Chi Xiaoyu peeked out together to observe. Before them was C Company's base, located in A City's core area. Outside were several employees standing guard. The company appeared calm on the surface, but at this moment, inside this building, countless locksmiths were battling with C Company employees.

○

C Company employees had all taken enhancement drugs. With enhancement potions, their flesh was the strongest weapon. Even taking bullets head-on was just a flesh wound, and even being shot in the heart was merely a fatal injury.

E Company's locksmiths had endless chains on their bodies with nine locks on those chains. These represented their ability locks - the more they opened, the stronger they became.

A locksmith had three golden halos floating behind him, representing that he was a three-lock locksmith. As he waved his hand, three doorways opened, and countless light beams shot out from those doors, attacking C Company employees.

"Intruders detected!"

The employee charging at the front removed his shirt. His shoulders were full of muscle definition. He extended his hand to resist the continuous light beams shooting at him, running straight toward that locksmith.

"Universal Lock - Convergence!"

With the locksmith's shout, the doors continuously shooting light beams began gathering in a straight line. The rearmost door began emitting a faint red glow, shooting out a pale red beam. Each door it passed through increased its power!

Looking at this massive beam before him, even with his enhanced flesh, the C Company employee didn't dare be careless. He stomped the ground and kicked up a steel plate from the floor, lifting it up and looking gravely at the beam. The moment that pale red beam hit him, he resisted the deadly beam through the steel plate.

After a long time, the steel plate had been melted. The man's arms and nose were bleeding, but he still stood there. He forcefully twisted his nose, let out a laugh, kicked up a small stone and kicked it hard toward the locksmith. Even an ordinary pebble, with his force behind it, had power no less than a bullet.

The locksmith was hit in the shoulder by this sudden attack, covering his wound and screaming. His flesh had no defensive capability.

"Surrender!"

"Tch."

Knowing he was about to be torn apart by bare hands, the locksmith gathered energy and triggered a massive explosion!

A violent explosion occurred. The two observing the situation outside clearly felt the ground trembling.

"It's starting."

Hearing this commotion, C Company employees all headed underground.

Seeing the guard employees leave, Chi Xiaoyu pulled Bai Ling to infiltrate C Company's interior.

○

A team of C Company employees followed a leading captain to provide support.

"You guard this place well. Don't let anyone approach. I need to go check the potions in the warehouse."

"Yes!"

Team members guarded the warehouse door. The warehouse door slowly opened - this was a special warehouse that even locksmiths couldn't open passages inside, because when unopened, it existed in a non-existent space.

The captain entered, and the warehouse door slowly closed. Looking at the team members guarding the door behind him, he showed a smile.

Just then, he felt something beside him stir up a breeze. He looked back but didn't seem to find anything special, scratching his head.

Chi Xiaoyu pulled Bai Ling to hide behind a box. This place was filled with bottles and jars of various potions of different types. The warehouse was very large, even divided into many different rooms. This was just the most ordinary batch in the entrance area.

Just then, the captain took out a lock and threw it on the ground. With a crisp unlocking sound, a golden door appeared before them.

"Well done."

"Yes, sir!"

An E Company employee dressed differently from other locksmiths walked out, followed by several locksmiths.

"Legend says D Company has a universal potion. Once consumed, whether anomaly or human, they'll gain qualitative improvement."

The leading man let out a triumphant laugh.

"Hahahahahaha."

"I wonder what I'll gain after taking it?"

"Rumor has it that the person with the Investigation Bureau's highest honor also took this potion. Hehe, truly anticipated."

"Sir, please come in."

The captain bowed and scraped, leading everyone deeper inside.

Chi Xiaoyu and Bai Ling watched this scene. Bai Ling whispered:

"What are we here for? Don't tell me we want to steal that universal potion from them?"

Chi Xiaoyu smiled.

"You're absolutely right."

Maze City

"You mean Lin Bai's little sister is A Company's chief and also our Anomaly Investigation Bureau's Head?"

Su Wanying looked incredulously at the girl before her.

"Wait, how long has our Investigation Bureau existed? A Company's lifespan is also longer than Lin Bai's. His sister is at most 15 years old."

Lin Xinyao didn't speak but turned around with an exaggerated smile, as if saying, "You didn't expect that, did you?"

"Head, following your instructions from eighteen years ago, this subordinate has been waiting here for you for a long time."

"Follow me."

Lin Xinyao led everyone into Maze City's interior. The passages were composed of gears - countless gears of different sizes turned on the walls, leading this city's movement. This was one reason A Company's location had never been discovered - it constantly moved between time periods. You might see Maze City one second, but the next second it wouldn't exist.

Moreover, due to the Sand of Time's influence, it existed between past and future but not in the present, unable to be observed or detected.

Walking in the Time Corridor, the two carefully followed the girl forward. Here were also many different types of robots, each busy maintaining Maze City's operation.

Entering a spacious room, they saw a huge hourglass floating in the center, surrounded by strange fluctuations. That was A Company's strongest anomalous tool - Sand of Time.

"The rewind time I set last time should have been timely enough, right?"

"Very precise, rewound exactly to before the black mist. B Company also successfully opened the barrier."

After hearing this, Su Wanying asked puzzledly:

"Wait, when did you set this rewind?"

"Set it eighteen years ago."

Su Wanying looked at Lin Xinyao dumbfounded, thinking:

【After the cognitive filter was destroyed, black mist appeared, then a time rewind occurred. This time rewind was set on a timer eighteen years ago?】

【How is that possible? Did she already foresee future events?】
