Chapter 18

Help Post

-Has anyone been an anomaly before and knows how to turn back into a human?

ㄴI was one 18 years ago, now I'm human and 18 years old!

ㄴRead too many novels, huh? Where would anomalies come from?

ㄴI know, it's body possession!

ㄴThe almighty forum friends seem to have experienced everything!

Lin Bai held his forehead looking at these irrelevant replies.

'What am I going to do? I have to go see a movie with Chi Xiaoyu later, I'll be discovered…'

'If worst comes to worst, I'll say my mom had a car accident and I need to go abroad?'

In the end, Lin Bai still went to the movie theater. After all, how could he refuse when someone he liked invited him to see a movie? If necessary, he could just leave halfway through...

At the movie theater entrance

"Ah, you're here!"

Chi Xiaoyu wore black sweatpants and a windbreaker, looking cool. The girl had her long hair in a high ponytail, with some sweat on her face, appearing as if she had run over.

"It's been a long time since we watched a movie together."

Lin Bai smiled.

"Yes, remember when you invited me to see a movie before? You were too shy to say it and just threw the tickets at me and ran away."

Thinking of this, both of them laughed simultaneously.

"Here, take this."

Chi Xiaoyu handed over a bracelet.

Lin Bai asked curiously as he took it:

"What is this?"

"A newly developed bracelet. Wearing it can enhance physical abilities by stimulating nerves. It's not in mass production yet, but we can use it first."

"Oh."

Lin Bai put the bracelet on his wrist. It was a white bracelet, while Chi Xiaoyu wore an identical black one.

Entering the theater, it was a grand cinema on the third floor of the downtown commercial street. It was spacious, with all sorts of high-tech decorations at the entrance. Going in, a huge screen came into view. After putting on the glasses, they could see that the surrounding seats were already full of people, all waiting for the movie to start.

"Want some popcorn?"

Chi Xiaoyu offered 2 buckets of popcorn.

"Thanks."

Lin Bai took one and already started eating handfuls.

Just then, a voice came from the loudspeaker:

"Ahem, Movie No. 44 is about to begin. Please do not talk loudly, keep quiet, and do not move around unnecessarily."

As the lights on the ceiling turned off one by one, various images began to project onto the huge screen. Just as the movie reached its climax and everyone was engrossed, Chi Xiaoyu turned her head to look at Lin Bai.

"Lin Bai, would you be my..."

Lin Bai also turned to look at Chi Xiaoyu.

'Could it be…'

A jarring electronic sound interrupted, making Chi Xiaoyu look at the screen unhappily.

[XXXXXX]

Lin Bai also slowly turned to look at the screen.

The screen no longer showed the exciting movie but a giant eye. The people around them all turned to look at Lin Bai and Chi Xiaoyu in unison, expressionless, staring intently at the two of them.

A magnetic electronic voice sounded:

"Oh my, someone isn't watching the movie attentively!"

Those people's eyes were all filled with strange swirling vortexes as they rushed toward Chi Xiaoyu and Lin Bai.

"This is bad, it's an anomalous incident."

"Run!"

Lin Bai grabbed Chi Xiaoyu and rushed toward the exit, but people started blocking the way with their bodies, constantly grabbing at Lin Bai and Chi Xiaoyu.

Seeing this, Lin Bai took out his anomalous gun and fired at the big screen. Two silver bullets shot out, and the screen instantly shattered with cracks. Everyone stopped moving.

"Now's our chance!"

Lin Bai grabbed Chi Xiaoyu's hand and pulled her toward the exit, but just as they were about to reach the theater exit, the exit began moving upward, rising above their heads. The surrounding terrain started changing directly, moving farther and farther from the exit, which kept getting higher.

Seeing this, Lin Bai picked up Chi Xiaoyu and threw her toward the exit. After grabbing the edge and climbing up, Chi Xiaoyu quickly extended her hand to grab Lin Bai's wrist...

"Hold tight!"

However, more and more people were grabbing Lin Bai's legs, trying to pull him down.

"Go find backup. Don't worry, I won't die. I have a contracted anomaly to keep me safe."

"That won't do!"

Chi Xiaoyu gritted her teeth and held onto Lin Bai, but how could her strength possibly match dozens of people below? Lin Bai was forcibly pulled down.

"Lin Bai!"

From Chi Xiaoyu's exit, the ground became increasingly distant until she could no longer see below...

'Damn it, what kind of anomaly is this, with such powerful spatial abilities!'

"Lin Bai, you must hold on. I'm going to find the director now!"

Chi Xiaoyu also understood that if she jumped down, both of them would certainly die. Now she could only hope that Lin Bai's contracted anomaly could really save him as he said…
