"Uh, Chi Xiaoyu, are we just going to wait here?"

"What else?"

"But, it's so cold here!"

Bai Ling rubbed her hands and pulled up her collar, trying to block a bit of the cold wind...

The two stood on the roof of a building. The man codenamed Anomaly Infant had already been hospitalized due to excessive blood loss, while the anomaly infants responsible for searching were still wandering through the city.

"Although it is a bit cold, you're an anomaly after all. I don't even feel cold..."

Chi Xiaoyu shook her head helplessly and draped her own clothes over Bai Ling.

There was no choice, her contracted anomaly had to be spoiled by her...

Bai Ling quickly took it off and returned it.

"No, no, it's fine. I'm not that cold anymore."

Chi Xiaoyu smiled and sniffed her coat, which had a trace of girlish fragrance, identical to what was on Lin Bai.

"Why did you go looking for Lin Bai?"

"Well, I've been occupying his room, so I help him with errands and such."

"Is that so?"

Chi Xiaoyu wanted to ask more, but just then, a heart-wrenching crying sound came, followed by countless crying sounds throughout the city! Then these sounds slowly gathered in one place...

"Follow me, the Anomaly Infants have found the target!"

Chi Xiaoyu pulled Bai Ling downstairs while taking out her radio and giving orders:

"Action Team Five, assemble at the City Central Hospital."

"That place again?"

Chi Xiaoyu looked grimly at the distance.

Driving to the hospital entrance, the hospital was still crowded with patients constantly coughing. Several anomaly infants were crying frantically outside the hospital, but the surrounding people seemed unable to hear them. After seeing Chi Xiaoyu arrive, those anomaly infants left...

"There are even more patients than this afternoon..."

Several police cars arrived, and two men and one woman got out. One man had an explosion-style haircut and a muscular body. The other wore high-collared clothing covering his entire body, with a mask and hood, only his face visible, with snow-white skin. The only woman was only 1.4 meters tall, with twin tails and a lollipop in her mouth.

The loli looked at Chi Xiaoyu and complained:

"Captain, overtime again..."

The explosion-hair man stretched his joints and came out, shaking his arms with a hearty laugh:

"Captain, I'll be the vanguard. Watch your young master take this anomaly down."

Chi Xiaoyu nodded.

"Luo guard the outside, everyone else follow me in."

"Ah? Me again?" The girl complained unhappily.

The other man remained silent, quietly following behind the team.

Chi Xiaoyu held a detection device and began searching inside the hospital, checking every room under the puzzled gazes of surrounding patients.

After searching without success, the hooded man spoke:

"The bugs have found something."

"Location?" Chi Xiaoyu asked.

"Follow me."

The four hurriedly arrived at a hospital ward, but the instrument still didn't respond, still emitting green light.

"Huh? Teacher, why are you here?"

Lying on the bed was the balding teacher from Chi Xiaoyu's school...

"Cough cough cough, I'm sick, what's strange about me being here?"

"Have you met this woman?"

Chi Xiaoyu took out a photo of the murdered nurse and handed it to the teacher. The teacher took it and observed it carefully.

"Cough cough, never seen her, cough cough cough, but someone just gave me this..."

He slowly took out a note.

"If you want to know the cause of your illness, come to morgue Area A-4-44 to check this corpse."

After taking the note, Chi Xiaoyu reassured him:

"Teacher, you don't need to go. We'll check it out for you!"

The four came to the morgue entrance again, familiar to Bai Ling. The man with the explosion hairstyle stepped up and kicked the morgue door...

Unfortunately, the door didn't budge. As he was about to kick again, Chi Xiaoyu walked up and pulled the door open.

"Longsheng, are you stupid..."

"Isn't it obvious this kind of door opens outward?"

Bai Ling laughed bitterly in her heart.

'You're not much better than him.'

"Sorry, Captain."

Longsheng scratched his head.

The moment they opened the door, unlike last time, the morgue was filled with frost. The walls and floor were covered with a thick layer of ice, and waves of cold air surged out, making everyone involuntarily shiver, as if they had entered a cold storage room.

Everyone entered and after walking for 1 minute, Chi Xiaoyu frowned.

"Is the morgue this big?"

"It feels like we can't reach the end?"

No matter which direction they went, they couldn't reach the walls, and the entrance door behind them seemed to get smaller and smaller...

"It's an anomalous domain..."

The hooded man crouched down, feeling for something. Tiny insects appeared in his hand, crawling in all directions at an incredibly fast speed. As these insects moved around, the surrounding scene became known to the man one by one.

"We're going in circles."

"Really?"

Bai Ling asked in confusion.

"The anomaly might be stalling for time."

An arrow made of insects appeared in front of the man...

"Let's go!"

With the man leading the way, everyone quickly arrived at a corpse in the morgue...

"It should be her!"

Just as Chi Xiaoyu approached the corpse step by step, it suddenly sat up. As the white cloth slowly fell, a face identical to her own appeared before everyone! But unlike everyone else, it wore an eerie smile, as if saying, welcome!

"Damn, it really is identical to myself!"

Chi Xiaoyu was the first to slash down with her knife, cutting a deep groove in the corpse's chest... Then the explosion-hair man created a ball of flame between his fingers and threw it onto the corpse, making sizzling sounds. This flame could even burn iron...

"The feeling of stabbing your own corpse is really strange."

As the corpse slowly disappeared, the instrument still didn't stop, continuing to flash red light.

Just then, Bai Ling felt her vision blur. The scene changed, and she found herself in a hospital.

"Hm? Where am I..."

Bai Ling looked around. She seemed to be a doctor... This appeared to be similar to what happened at the school before; she could only watch but couldn't change anything.

She heard two people arguing in the office.

"What do you mean? Is this how you charge fees?"

"Only I can perform this surgery. What's wrong with charging a bit more?"

"But you can't ask the patient for more money halfway through surgery, can you?"

"Hmph, add it or not, it's up to them. If not, I'll sew them back up, what can they do?"

As they argued, Bai Ling's viewpoint shifted. Lin Bai was holding a scalpel and tweezers, with the doctor right beside him.

"Stop!" The doctor commanded Bai Ling to stop, then smiled at the patient somewhat mockingly:

"Sir, your surgery is too complex. You need to add an additional fee for me. Will you pay now, or should I sew you back up?"

The patient looked at the doctor in shock, gritting his teeth:

"How can your hospital do this!"

"Oh? Do you mean you want to terminate the surgery?"

"I, I'll pay!"

Just then, a nurse nearby shouted:

"How can you behave like this?"

'Is that the murdered nurse?' Bai Ling observed silently.

The man looked at the nurse disdainfully:

"Who do you think you are? A trainee nurse dares to question me?"
