Chapter 97 : How It Started
Su Wanying was used to living alone and had developed excellent cooking skills. Soon, exquisite dishes filled the table."Oh right, I haven't asked your name yet. I'm Su Wanying."
"I'm Lin Bai."
"Lin Bai? Hmm, I feel like I've heard that name somewhere."
Su Wanying clapped her hands in surprise.
"Are you the new team member my father mentioned?"
"Should be."
Su Wanying walked around Bai Ling in a circle, then nodded.
"My father has never interfered with my squad. As the First Squad, you're the only one he's ever recommended. The other team members all say you got in through connections, but it's fine, I'll help you."
"Ah, is that so?"
【Can't see her grade】
【Why would father recommend such a young person to my team?】
"Ah, come eat quickly, the food is getting cold."
"Alright, then I won't be polite."
Lin Bai happily picked up a piece of beef and put it in her mouth to chew, but suddenly her expression changed.
【Oh no, I forgot about this】
Seeing Lin Bai freeze, Su Wanying hurriedly asked with concern.
"What's wrong?"
"Is it not to your taste?"
Lin Bai forced herself to swallow, then gave a thumbs up.
"It's, it's delicious!"
Seeing Lin Bai liked it so much, Su Wanying pushed a plate of beef in front of Lin Bai.
"I'm glad it suits your taste. If you like it, eat more!"
"Uh... okay! I'll eat."
【Wuu wuu wuu】
As an anomaly, human food tasted like chewing wax to her.
Soon after, Lin Bai bid farewell to Su Wanying, promising the girl she would report to the Investigation Bureau tomorrow. After leaving Su Wanying's room, Lin Bai hurriedly took out several anomaly cores and ate them, finally relieving the previous discomfort.
Lin Bai found a deserted place to remove her disguise and transformed back into Bai Ling. The watch no longer displayed any other messages, indicating she was now in free activity time.
"Mm, let me try to investigate this so-called Archbishop of Sloth first."
"But in such a big city, where should I look?"
Just then, a line of text suddenly appeared on the watch.
【Dream Bar】
"Does this mean I should investigate there?"
Bai Ling took out her phone and started searching in the navigation.
"Holy crap, it came up directly. Are they being this open about it?"
Bai Ling followed the navigation to near the destination. From the outside, it looked no different from other bars. Bai Ling used the little girl to change her clothes, then altered her body shape. A familiar face appeared - it was the appearance of Archbishop Mercy. If needed, she could even simulate the black wings on her back.
Putting on a mask, Bai Ling straightened her clothes.
"Like this, let's go in."
Before even pushing open the bar's door, noisy sounds reached Bai Ling's ears one after another.
Looking inside, the bar was packed with customers. In the center was a stage where a band was performing.
【Looks pretty ordinary】
Bai Ling found a seat and ordered an ordinary beer, pretending to drink while listening to the surrounding conversations.
○
Two men in front.
"Amazing! What's this band called?"
"I think it's called Rock Skull."
"It's so wonderful, I want to jump up and dance along."
【Doesn't seem like any useful information】
A man and woman behind her.
"Are you here alone, miss?"
"Yes, big brother."
"Are you also a Rock Skull fan? Come, big brother will toast you."
"No, I can't drink anymore."
"Don't be such a spoilsport. Come on, cheers."
"Alright then."
Soon the man left the bar carrying the unconscious woman, but Bai Ling noticed the woman was pretending to be drunk.
【Who's really the hunter here?】
○
Just then, whispered conversation from a distance reached Bai Ling's ears.
"You know what? I got drunk here yesterday, and last night I had an amazing dream!"
The man nearby had his curiosity piqued.
"What kind of dream?"
"It was so vivid, tsk tsk."
"Holy shit, really?"
"You don't know yet? If you get drunk at this bar, there's a chance you'll have incredibly realistic sweet dreams."
"Nice, then I better drink more today."
○
【Dreams?】
【But I can't drink, and I can't get drunk】
【Doesn't seem like there are any other anomalies, only this one lead】
【Maybe next time I'll bring Su Wanying here to get her drunk】
While Bai Ling was thinking about how to follow this lead, a woman sat down across from her.
"Handsome, are you here alone?"
"Yes."
"Are you also a Rock Skull..."
"I'm not. Goodbye."
Bai Ling left the bar and found a hotel to stay in.
【A new life is about to begin】
【I hope everything goes smoothly】
Lying on the bed, the girl fell into a deep sleep.

Morning
Bright sunlight streamed in. Bai Ling rubbed her eyes, feeling the warm sunshine.
【A City without the black fog is so peaceful】
【What are those companies doing?】
Lin Bai came to the Anomaly Investigation Bureau. As someone recommended by Director Heaven's Secret, she didn't even need to register any information. With just a photo, the receptionist led her to the second floor of the headquarters.
"Sir, Captain Su has been waiting for you for quite a while."
Knocking on the door, a cold voice came from inside.
"Come in."
Lin Bai entered the room and sat down where Su Wanying indicated, then the staff member left.
Su Wanying looked at Lin Bai and asked.
"Your contracted anomaly - can you let me see it?"
"Oh, okay."
Lin Bai thought about it and decided to summon Blood Princess. After all, the other contracted anomaly wasn't very proper. After Blood Princess came out, her first words were:
"Master, has dawn finally come?"
The white-haired Blood Princess in a black dress looked happily toward the sky outside the window. Su Wanying gave her appearance a perfect ten in her mind.
"What do you mean 'dawn has finally come'?"
Su Wanying was now imagining scenarios of the beautiful girl contracted anomaly being pinned down on the bed all night.
【No way】
Su Wanying's way of looking at Lin Bai changed.
Seeing Su Wanying's expression change, Lin Bai thought of Su Wanying's perverted personality and immediately realized what she was thinking.
"Hey hey hey? Are you misunderstanding something?"
"Hehe."
【Looks like it's true. Explaining is just covering up】
"Whatever, let's talk business."
Lin Bai also sat up seriously, and even Blood Princess was pulled to sit down together.
"I can see your contracted anomaly has reached B-grade. As a member of my squad, you meet the team requirements."
"The other team members probably won't have any more objections. If you encounter any problems in the future, you can come to me."
"When you have free time, you can take on some bounty missions yourself. As the First Squad, we're generally only assigned B-grade and above anomaly missions, so we have a lot of free time normally."
