Lin Bai stepped back a few steps and fired again, but this time he didn't aim at the man's body, but his eyes.

Accompanied by a scream:

"Ouch, you, you're vicious!"

The man clutched his lower body, screaming in pain. Blood was flowing continuously from between his legs. There wasn't much fat protecting him in that area, and as a D-grade anomaly hit by a C-grade anomalous bullet, he was already incapacitated.

"Uh, let me explain, I was aiming for your eyes..."

The man sat on the ground, clutching his lower body and glaring fiercely at Lin Bai.

"Despicable, vicious!"

Lin Bai shook his head helplessly. His marksmanship was still a bit off. He walked to the man's side, pointed the dark barrel of the gun at the man's head, and pulled the trigger.

A white D-grade infection core appeared, but thinking of the anomaly's previous appearance, Lin Bai shook his head, not really wanting to eat it...

Just then, the little girl with the pink hairpin walked over, looking eagerly at the core.

"Sister, can you give this to me?"

Lin Bai looked at the little girl, and just as he was about to speak, the little girl quickly added:

"If sister is willing to give it to me, I'll do anything!"

"Hmm? Anything?"

The little girl nodded seriously. Lin Bai smiled mischievously and pulled her to the classroom.

"Hehehehehe, you said you'd do anything!"

"Ah, sister, what are you going to do? No, no!"

Lin Bai held a stack of workbooks in his hand.

"Finish them all!"

"Can we do something else!"

The little girl looked at Lin Bai with teary eyes.

"Then tell me, why do you call me sister?"

The little girl took off the hairpin and handed it to Lin Bai.

"Because this your my true form. I am an attachment-type anomaly. When you touched me, I knew you were a sister."

Lin Bai examined the hairpin in his hand and asked puzzledly:

"Then what effect can you have when attached to me?"

The little girl proudly said:

"I can turn into clothes!"

Lin Bai opened his backpack, looking for something. Seeing that Lin Bai had no reaction, she hurriedly added:

"I can turn into all kinds of beautiful clothes with defensive power!"

After searching for a while, Lin Bai finally pulled out a piece of parchment.

"From now on, you'll be my contracted anomaly."

"Can I often eat cores?"

"As much as you want!"

After signing the contract, the little girl transformed into a pink hairpin in Lin Bai's hand.

Just then, Ye Luo walked over and patted Lin Bai's shoulder.

"Rookie, not bad, your gun is so accurate? When dealing with anomalies, you should aim for these weak points. I'm impressed!"

"No, actually..."

Ye Luo took out a lollipop identical to the one she was biting and offered it to Lin Bai.

"Your reward."

Remembering the painful feeling of eating chocolate before, Lin Bai quickly shook his head.

"I'll pass, I have cavities."

Ye Luo pouted and forced it on Lin Bai.

"I don't even give this to others who want it. Are you looking down on me!"

Though Ye Luo was short, her temper was not small. She put her hands on her hips, looking like she would get angry if he didn't eat it.

Lin Bai looked at the lollipop in his hand helplessly, tore off the wrapper, and thinking about the intense pain he was about to experience, controlled his facial expression as he slowly put the lollipop in his mouth.

"Huh? Why is it so sweet!"

"Hmph!"

Seeing Lin Bai eat it, Ye Luo hopped happily toward the door, seemingly very pleased.

"Let's go, rookie."

"Wait, what brand is this candy? There's no label."

Lin Bai wanted to buy a box, no, a truckload!

"Tsk, just now you didn't want to eat it, this is a secret, I won't tell you!"

It's really so sweet!

At this point, Ye Luo's small notebook evaluation of Lin Bai had many paragraphs.

[A bit timid] A bit!

[Accurate shooting] Definitely!

[Lolicon] Maybe?

[Contracted an anomaly on his own] Reward one lollipop.

Outside the school, a car was parked. Ye Luo sat in the passenger seat, and Lin Bai sat in the back too.

Ye Luo looked at Lin Bai, Lin Bai looked at Ye Luo, and they asked simultaneously:

"You can't drive?"

Lin Bai scratched his head and asked confusedly:

"Then how did you get here, and why do I feel like this car has been parked here for a long time?"

"Uh, your imagination."

Ye Luo took out her phone and called Longsheng.

"Explosion Head, where are you?"

"Hu! Pay up, pay up."

A strange voice came through, followed by Longsheng's somewhat sad voice:

"Hello? Done so quickly?"

Soon after, a man with sweat all over his head arrived at the driver's seat.

"Sorry, I just went to the bathroom."

"Oh, really? Then what were you 'hu-ing' in the bathroom?"

Ye Luo smiled disdainfully.

"Loser~ Did you lose at mahjong again?"

"No."

"Loser~ Loser~"

"By the way, what's the deal with this school?" Lin Bai asked curiously.

"In the past, our city was invaded by the Blood Witch. It's said that an anomaly called Incomplete created this anomalous domain to protect the school, but the teachers and children inside became infected. These infected couldn't leave and wouldn't harm humans, so they stayed. But anomalies often enter to hunt for infection cores. We help maintain Incomplete's infected, so they don't die a second time."

"Is that so?" Lin Bai nodded thoughtfully.

There's that Blood Witch again.

"Where to now?" Explosion Head asked.

"Let's play."

"Play where?"

"Rookie, is there anything you want to play?"

"Huh? Uh, internet café?"

"Good, let's go to the internet café!"

Soon, the three were sitting in an internet café. The three formed a stark contrast: one burly with an explosion hairstyle, one petite and frail little loli, and Lin Bai in the middle, feeling a bit uncomfortable.

And every time Lin Bai or Explosion Head died once, Ye Luo would display a mischievous expression and tease "Loser~".

But as the game progressed, Ye Luo's performance got worse and worse. In contrast, Lin Bai and Explosion Head had already turned their records positive. Ye Luo's smug expression began to fade, replaced by a pitiful one.

"H-how could this be, the losers have surpassed me! I'm a genius e-sports girl!"

After playing for a few hours, Ye Luo looked lifeless, almost dead.

"Are you okay?" Lin Bai poked Ye Luo's shoulder, seeing her looking so dispirited.

Lin Bai took out his phone and checked the time: 8:30. He had to leave, so he decided to say goodbye.

"I have something tonight, so I'll go first."

Ye Luo quickly stood up. With a sad face, she pulled Lin Bai's hand.

"One more game, how could I possibly lose to a loser rookie!"

"No more playing, I really have to go."

"Then add me as a friend. Tomorrow, tomorrow I'll definitely beat you!"

After adding Ye Luo in his friend list, Lin Bai left the internet café. Explosion Head wanted to leave but was stopped by Ye Luo.

"Today I can't beat you, don't think you can escape!"

Bai Ling stood on the rooftop terrace, sighing:

'This Ye Luo really has a strong competitive spirit.'

Just then, the pink hairpin floated out and attached to Bai Ling's hair. Her clothes were instantly covered with a beautiful black dress, adorned with lace edges, and even her shoes and socks were changed—she was now wearing black stockings and high heels.

Bai Ling walked a bit awkwardly and suggested:

"Can these high heels be removed..."

"Then let's change to platform shoes, sister!

—Sister, you look a lot like the Blood Witch!"
