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

Chapter 76 : Under the Black Mist

Black mist descended, shrouding the sky. The residents of A City, having just experienced this anomalous transformation, all collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath."Just now, if I remember correctly, I was already eaten."

"I, I remember being trampled flat by a bus with hands and legs!"

"What exactly is this? How are we still alive now?"

"Are we being protected by this light barrier?"

"Look, look there, in the sky, what is that?"

Looking up into the air, lights interwove in the brilliant starry sky, stars constantly twinkling, but were they really stars? In the very center of that starry sky was a huge eyeball, staring directly down at the light barrier on the ground.

However, they were ultimately fortunate.

○

People in other cities didn't get protection from light barriers. Anomalies ran rampant on the streets, with corpses and destroyed cities visible everywhere, shrouded in darkness.

Only a few people could survive in this black mist. The vast majority were killed within just one short hour.

Cities without core technology would all perish this night, with remaining residents barely surviving.

"Master, wake up. Are you alright?"

"This place is..."

Bai Ling slowly opened her eyes. She was lying on Blood Princess's lap and opened her eyes.

"Thank goodness, Master, you're finally awake."

Blood Princess pressed her face against Bai Ling's and rubbed against it. Battle traces were everywhere around them, with hundreds of anomaly cores scattered on the ground.

"You worked hard."

"Master, please be careful. I don't know what happened outside. I'll go back and rest for a while."

Blood Princess disappeared, returning to the Crimson Blood Domain. Bai Ling took out her phone to check the time - 9 AM sharp. Bai Ling looked up at the sky uncertainly.

"Why hasn't it gotten light today? Wait, is there an eye in the sky?"

Just then, Yueyue's hotel anomalous domain beside Bai Ling was dispelled. The exhausted Yueyue lay motionless on the ground. Bai Ling recalled her and helped up the unconscious Chi Xiaoyu.

Carrying Chi Xiaoyu on her back, Bai Ling slowly walked along the road. Cold wind blew through the girl's hair, Chi Xiaoyu's head resting on her shoulder as the two advanced.

Walking through the familiar city, but the city before her eyes had undergone earth-shaking changes. Abandoned vehicles were everywhere on the streets, traffic accidents were frequent, roadside shops had all been destroyed - a scene of apocalypse.

"What exactly happened? Isn't Black City already dead?"

While Bai Ling was pondering, a bus with four arms suddenly charged toward her!

"What the hell is that thing?"

The bus was very fast, running on the ground and continuously charging toward Bai Ling. Just as Bai Ling was about to be knocked away, the bus suddenly stopped, lowered its body, and opened its doors.

"Hello, need a ride?"

"Uh?"

"One C-grade core per trip."

"Oh, oh."

Bai Ling had quite a few cores on hand, all from anomalies Blood Princess had just killed.

Entering the bus, a bloody smell hit her face. Bai Ling couldn't help but pinch her nose and threw the core into the front box.

There weren't many people on the bus. Bai Ling observed until she saw two college students.

Bai Ling walked over and sat next to the two female college students. They immediately cried out, then covered their mouths.

"Can you tell me what happened?"

"Are you human or anomaly?"

"Do I look like an anomaly?"

"Also, also true."

The other female student was slightly braver and not as afraid of Bai Ling.

"Don't you know yet? Just this morning, a bunch of anomalies suddenly appeared in our school. We barely escaped from school, only to find it's like this outside too."

"It's already 9 o'clock now. Why hasn't it gotten light yet?"

"Shh, keep it down."

"Being too loud will get you cleaned up by the driver."

【No wonder you've been trembling. You saw someone get devoured】

【I wondered why there was a bloody smell】

Bai Ling stopped questioning the college students nearby. They knew very little intelligence. Instead, she looked at other people in the car, or rather, anomalies.

Bai Ling walked toward a humanoid anomaly that looked like a frog and asked:

"Do you know what happened outside?"

"Don't know ribbit. I was just born ribbit."

"..."

Just then, an old granny with a walking stick nearby said leisurely:

"Black mist descends, eternal night begins, fear and confusion, anomalies run rampant!"

The bus kept jolting and swaying. Bai Ling looked around - almost at her home.

【Hope little sister and the others are okay】

Bai Ling patted the two college students' shoulders and asked:

"Want to come with me?"

The two college students looked at each other and shook their heads.

"Alright then."

Bai Ling didn't force them. If they were willing to follow, she would try to protect them. If not, they'd have to fend for themselves.

After getting off the bus, Bai Ling hurriedly rushed home carrying Chi Xiaoyu. Surprisingly, there were no signs of damage around, and the nearby streets were very clean, as if unaffected. When she reached her front door, before Bai Ling could knock, the door was already opened.

"Welcome home, sister."

"Good that you're okay."

Bai Ling placed Chi Xiaoyu on the sofa and took out a towel to wipe the dust from the girl's face.

"What happened to Sister Chi?"

"She was injured and fainted."

"Sister, do you know? Outside has changed so much. It was daytime, then suddenly turned dark, then a huge eye appeared in the sky, then some strange guys appeared."

"I'm still not used to you calling me sister."

"Oh, should I still call you brother then?"

"Either, either is fine."

"Then why haven't you changed back yet, brother?"

"Can't change back."

"Pfft, then I'll still call you sister."

Lin Xinyao couldn't help but laugh.

"Where's my cat?"

"Went out to scout for intelligence."

"Uh, raised a bunch of reconnaissance cats."

Just then, a familiar voice came.

"I'm back meow."

"Back meow."

"Here meow."

"Meow."

"Meow."

"."

Six lolis walked in together, all different colors.

"How did you all transform? Wasn't it unfamiliar with time limits?"

"Starting this morning, suddenly felt stronger meow."

"Very strange meow."

"Can maintain human form continuously now meow."

"What's the situation outside now?"

"Other anomalies say eternal night has descended meow."

"Don't know the specific reason meow, but this place is no longer suitable for human survival meow."

"Heard remaining humans all joined an organization called Light Chasers meow."

"They search for food in the city, kill anomalies, and obtain light sources meow."

"Their goal is to find the lost sun meow."

"Lost sun?"

Bai Ling opened the window to look at the sky. Could it really be as they said - the world was now in eternal night?
