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

Chapter 93 : Critical Danger

The Head tried to rewind this sword energy, but the moment it approached, the Blood Witch merged with that sword energy, attaching to it and forming a flesh membrane protecting the sword energy.What was rewound was this flesh membrane - the sword energy remained unaffected, pursuing the Head.

Knowing she couldn't resist this attack, the Head opened a passage to the river of time and hid inside. Even so, that sword energy still followed her, continuously searching for her in the river of time. With the Blood Witch's maintenance, this sword energy was eternal until the moment it hit.

After returning, Lin Bai lay on the ground for a long time, unable to calm down. This journey made her understand the reason for her transformation and what kind of disaster E City had faced.

"Still haven't found me."

Lin Xinyao crouched beside Bai Ling.

Bai Ling shook her head, then nodded.

"Then you should have met me from eighteen years ago."

Bai Ling nodded.

"There's one more day. The me you need to find is hiding in the river of time."

"Okay. Also, thank you."

Lin Xinyao smiled.

"Why thank me? I should be thanking you."

"Eh?"

【Why would you thank me?】

【I clearly didn't help you at all】

○

"Are you alright?"

Bai Ling sat beside Su Wanying's bed. The girl lay in bed covered by blankets, with neither her face nor hands showing.

"I'm fine. I heard you're trying to find a way to save me?"

"How did you know?"

"Chi Xiaoyu told me. She also came to see me once."

"Thank you, but don't force yourself. I'm already very satisfied. Being able to live these dozen years was already very lucky."

"Can you explain in detail?"

The girl took out that necklace, turned her body, and looked at Bai Ling. Her body was already three-quarters transparent, nearly about to disappear from the world.

"My contracted anomaly is called Black Sun Flame."

"Unlike other contracted anomalies, it can enhance power by sacrificing life force."

"My mother and I were involved in Terminus Cult's actions when I was young. To save me, she sacrificed all her life force to protect me, yet still let that archbishop named Sloth escape."

"To avenge my mother, I contracted Black Sun Flame and have been pursuing Terminus Cult's whereabouts."

"I will save you, I promise."

"It's useless. Until that great battle two years ago, to kill Archbishop Sloth, I had already sacrificed most of my life force."

The girl sat up and pressed that necklace into Bai Ling's hands, grasping Bai Ling's hands.

"What's this?"

"I'm really sorry. I still can't remember memories about you, but I know I must be someone important to you. Otherwise, you wouldn't be so good to me. Consider this my relic. My mother told me this necklace should be given to someone I like in the future. Although you're a girl, I still decided to give it to you."

"After all, I don't seem to have any male friends."

"..."

"How is it?"

Outside the door, she met Chi Xiaoyu leaning on a crutch.

"Looks like she can't hold on much longer."

"Sigh, she was fine just a few days ago."

"Also, what's with you?"

"Oh, nothing. Side effects from using Lightning Flash consecutively."

"Then why aren't you lying in bed?"

"It's fine. Or do you want to sleep with me?"

"Go lie down quickly. Don't let you also have this happen."

"If I could also overdraw my life to kill anomalies, you probably wouldn't see me anymore. For revenge, I'd definitely have overdrafted everything long ago."

"Sounds like your style."

"I always thought my parents died in ordinary anomaly incidents. Now it seems that might not be the case."

"Hmm? Don't tell me it's also related to Terminus Cult?"

"No, I suspect H Company did it."

"What's the situation?"

"My parents were registered as killed by anomalies. I've seen their bodies - there really was a huge wound burst open in their abdomens."

"But after asking Director Heaven's Secret these past few days, I learned that my parents hadn't carried out any missions during that time. The only connection to anomalies was H Company!"

"When I was in school, I remember my parents mentioning that H Company people introduced a new product and invited my parents to test it. I suspect there was a problem with that product."

"Life Meat?"

"You know about this thing?"

"The cats ate a piece recently."

"Stable products should be fine, but I always feel their company's meat isn't normal. Better not to eat it."

"Oh, oh."

"Let's not talk about this. I'll investigate slowly. Can Su Wanying still be saved?"

"We can only pin our hopes on tomorrow."

"Good luck!"

Chi Xiaoyu cheered Bai Ling on, then limped away with her crutch, trying to return to her room. Seeing the girl moving so inconveniently, Bai Ling came behind her and scooped her up in a standard princess carry.

"Hey hey hey? Stop, you don't need to care about me. I have my own legs."

Chi Xiaoyu's cheeks were flushed. Rather than being carried by Bai Ling like this, she preferred carrying Bai Ling like this!

"Come on, acting tough when you're like this."

"Hmph."

The girl pouted. The moment Bai Ling put her on the bed, she suddenly hugged Bai Ling's neck and kissed her.

"Mmm!"

"Mmm mmm."

"Satisfied now?" After separating their lips after a long time, Bai Ling asked somewhat shyly and angrily.

"Peel me an orange."

Chi Xiaoyu stretched out her legs, then pointed at the distant crutch.

"Can't move! You told me not to act tough."

"Fine, I'll peel it."

"Also help me pour some water."

"I'll pour it!"

Bai Ling was actually willing to have Chi Xiaoyu depend on her more, since she always liked to act tough.

"Also help me take a bath."

"Fine, I'll wash you."

After all, it wasn't the first time. Bai Ling wasn't as flustered as last time. After half an hour of bathing, she finally carried the clean Chi Xiaoyu out and covered her with blankets.

"Want me to tell you a bedtime story?"

"No, I don't want to sleep yet."

"Then what other commands does my lady have?"

Chi Xiaoyu looked at the door, indicating for Bai Ling to close it.

Bai Ling scratched her head somewhat helplessly but still got up and closed the door.

Chi Xiaoyu smiled and said:

"Help me with my physiological needs."

"Impossible!"

Bai Ling threw the pillow from the sofa at Chi Xiaoyu's face.

Not to be outdone, Chi Xiaoyu picked up the pillow and threw it back.

"Just once, just once is fine!"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible."

"Don't be so stingy. I'll help you next time too."

"That's even more impossible!"

Bai Ling came to the door and looked back at Chi Xiaoyu.

"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first. Rest well."

Chi Xiaoyu also put away her joking attitude and waved her hand.

"Go ahead."
