Although it was daytime, the morgue was dim and gloomy. Waves of cold air drifted out, causing both of them to shiver involuntarily.

"Is this right?"

"Don't make a sound..."

Chi Xiaoyu pressed the light switch on the wall, but there was no response. This seemed to be why the nurse hadn't turned on the lights. As they went deeper, the device in Lin Bai's hand flickered more intensely, continuously emitting red light!

In the center of the morgue was a corpse covered with a white cloth, lying quietly. The surrounding cabinets that normally stored bodies were all open, but the bodies had vanished. The cloth-covered corpse emitted a foul odor...

Chi Xiaoyu slowly approached the corpse while Lin Bai took out his anomalous gun... Chi Xiaoyu took out a knife and slowly lifted the white cloth from the face. When they saw the corpse's face, both exclaimed in shock simultaneously.

"It's me?"

"Not you, it's me!"

"You see yourself?"

"Don't copy what I say!"

Chi Xiaoyu gave Lin Bai's head a smack.

Lin Bai complained pitifully:

"It really is me."

Chi Xiaoyu looked at her own corpse, then at Lin Bai's expression.

'He doesn't seem to be lying.'

"So it seems this corpse appears to everyone as themselves..."

"Then, since this corpse is still here, what is that nurse who's working outside? She was clearly eaten..."

While they were discussing, they didn't notice that the corpse's eyes had suddenly opened.

As Chi Xiaoyu was hitting Lin Bai's head, it had already sat up, blood flowing from its eyes. At that moment, the corpse stretched out its head behind Chi Xiaoyu.

Chi Xiaoyu only felt a slight chill on her back before Lin Bai had already fired a shot, hitting the corpse's head. There was a sound of bone shattering as the corpse's head instantly broke into several pieces that fell to the ground, with blood gushing from the neck!

Chi Xiaoyu quickly swung her knife, stabbing it into the corpse's stomach, then kicked it away. Her own corpse now lay on the ground, continuously gushing blood.

"It feels strange seeing myself die like this..."

"Don't let your guard down, the device is still signaling."

The device was still emitting red light, indicating that the anomaly hadn't died...

Just as they were about to deliver the finishing blow, a middle-aged man in doctor's attire walked in, shouting:

"What are you doing?"

Chi Xiaoyu frowned slightly and took out her police badge.

"Police investigation. Please leave!"

The doctor completely ignored Chi Xiaoyu's credentials and pointed at the corpse on the ground, shouting angrily:

"This, this is my colleague! You, you've killed someone!"

"Eh? Don't you see this corpse is..."

They looked at the corpse again, and it had clearly changed into the previously deceased nurse!

Chi Xiaoyu was shocked and pulled Lin Bai as they rushed out of the morgue, saying urgently:

"Quickly, find that nurse!"

They took out their phone pictures and continuously asked the surrounding doctors and nurses about the female nurse's location. They arrived at a hospital ward—an empty room with windows open and a pot of flowers from a patient's family knocked over on the windowsill...

"Damn it, she got away!"

"This anomaly is truly anomalous."

Chi Xiaoyu rolled her eyes at Lin Bai.

"And you're truly human."

"I might not be that human." [After all, I'm an anomaly at night]

"What did you say?"

"Nothing."

Just then, the doctor led several police officers over.

"It's them! They killed someone! I saw it with my own eyes!"

"Uh, Officer Chi... good afternoon?"

"What? You're all together? No, don't kill me to silence me!"

The doctor looked at these police officers in shock, then staggered away.

"This is a big misunderstanding."

"Indeed."

The two arrived at the Mutation Investigation Bureau...

"This is a bit tricky."

"The people killed by this anomaly must be more than one, and the people killed can still work normally and live. It continues to kill, and when it's killed, it revives through these people it has killed..."

"In other words, if we don't catch it and all the people it has killed in one sweep, this anomaly can never be killed!"

An elderly person analyzed. Chi Xiaoyu nodded.

"That's a lot of work. Now we don't even know where it went. The killing condition is probably seeing its appearance, then seeing your own corpse..."

"By the way, have we found the person who slipped the note to that nurse in the surveillance footage?"

"No, we can't find any information on this person."

"I feel like this person isn't simple either. They deliberately lured others to contact this anomaly, and they specifically avoided having their face caught on camera."

While the two were actively discussing, Lin Bai poked his head out and asked:

"If there's no progress, can I leave first? I have something to do!"

Chi Xiaoyu looked at Lin Bai unhappily.

"What's more important than being with me?"

Lin Bai looked at the time on his phone.

8:40

"Important life matters!"

'If I stay any longer, it won't be good. If I turn into Bai Ling in front of her, I'll be exposed.'

Chi Xiaoyu thought for a moment. It was almost evening, and she could call Bai Ling to help, so she waved her hand.

"Alright then."

Lin Bai nodded and said ingratiatingly:

"Yay, off work."

○

"Oh no, on duty."

"What did you say?"

Chi Xiaoyu looked at Bai Ling in confusion, but her hands didn't stop, giving her two C-grade anomaly cores...

"Nothing."

"Anyway, I've told you the situation. As an anomaly, what's your view?"

"Uh, maybe this anomaly isn't that strong. It can only revive through one person at a time. Now that it's lost person A, it's definitely in a hurry to find another one!"

Chi Xiaoyu looked at Bai Ling and nodded.

"I thought you were a bit dim-witted without good ideas, but it seems you're quite useful, much more reliable than Lin Bai."

Chi Xiaoyu took out her phone and made a call. From the other end came the sound of baby crying.

"Anomaly Infant, we have a task."

"Roger, coming right away."

○

"You mean you want me to help you find a woman in this big city?"

"Can't you do it?"

"I, I can, but..."

"Then do it! You won't miss out on your benefits."

The man gritted his teeth, deciding with determination as he raised his hand to encourage himself.

"Alright!"

He took off his clothes, and countless small, eyeless, incomplete human infants crawled out, crying.

"You're all hungry, right? Today, eat freely!"

The man exposed his entire back, which was covered with bite marks. Those infants crawled on his body, continuously tearing at his flesh and drinking his blood!

Amidst the man's screams and the anomaly infants' laughter, the infants began to grow eyes and hands. The crawling infants became standing children, changing from appearing 2 years old to 4 years old...

"Wuwuwu."

"Children, go find her!"

The man took out the nurse's photo...

Bai Ling exclaimed at the amount of blood:

"That's a lethal amount!"

After looking at the photo, those anomalies began moving through the city. They moved quickly, making eerie laughing sounds, but the surrounding pedestrians couldn't see or hear them...

"Ouch, it hurts."

The man looked pitifully at Chi Xiaoyu with a crying face.

"Alright, go back and claim 1 C-grade infection core."

"T-two!"

"One, plus one D-grade."

"Fine."

'Are these cores so hard to earn? Then Chi Xiaoyu has fed me so many…'
