"Big bro Lin, where are you going?"
"To class."
"Huh? Didn't we agree to take makeup exams together?"
"If you fail all your subjects, what will you be making up?"
Back in the classroom, with a few minutes left before class started, Lin Bai looked out the window boredly. He seemed to be getting hungry again. Now human food was completely unpalatable to him—only drinks and such still had taste.
Just then, Chi Xiaoyu handed Lin Bai a chocolate.
"Ah, open your mouth."
Lin Bai shook his head vigorously.
Chi Xiaoyu, refusing to take no for an answer, poked Lin Bai's mouth with the chocolate. Finally, under Chi Xiaoyu's persistence, Lin Bai ate it.
Lin Bai felt waves of bitterness and nausea, but swallowed it while enduring the discomfort.
Chi Xiaoyu smiled happily.
"How is it? Very delicious, right? And you didn't want to eat it!"
"Mmm, delicious..."
"If it's delicious, have some more."
Chi Xiaoyu leaned over and took out a handful of chocolates...
"Big bro Lin, when did you two get together?"
Xiao Yang said with a grin.
Chi Xiaoyu's face turned slightly red.
"I just felt sorry for him and fed him something, that's all."
Chi Xiaoyu returned to her seat shyly.
Lin Bai mentally gave Xiao Yang a thumbs up. His bro was reliable. If he had to eat all those chocolates, he might have passed out on the spot.
Listening to the lecture boredly, Lin Bai took out his phone. The person with the black cat avatar from yesterday was still sending messages non-stop.
-Hey, I really am an anomaly too.
-Let's meet.
-Help me with something, and I'll definitely repay you in the future.
Lin Bai thought for a moment and replied:
-Go to E City University, Class 3, and find someone called Lin Bai. He's my friend. You can contact me through him.
-A human is your friend? Fine, I'll trust you this once.
After class, Xiao Yang pulled Lin Bai to go eat.
"Big bro Lin, I'm not exaggerating, but I've noticed you haven't eaten anything all day. How can you go on like this? Your body won't be able to take it."
"I'm not hungry."
"Still saying you're not hungry. Are you out of money? I'll treat you, bro."
"Really not hungry. I have something to do. I'm leaving first."
Lin Bai ran off without looking back, and also took back the mental thumbs up he had given Xiao Yang. Now whoever tried to make him eat was the bad guy!
Just then.
A series of meowing sounds came from nearby.
A black kitten blinked its eyes at Lin Bai.
"Meow meow meow?"
"Ah, where did this cat come from?"
No matter where Lin Bai went, the black cat followed him.
Having no choice, Lin Bai bought a bag of cat food to feed it. The cat disdainfully kicked away the cat food, jumped onto Lin Bai, and ran into his bag.
7 PM, back in the dorm, packing his things.
"Big bro Lin, what are you doing?"
"I'm moving out."
"Oh, I get it. Are you moving in with Chi Xiaoyu?"
"Big bro Lin, are you abandoning us?"
"Let's keep in touch, bros. I'm off."
"Goodbye, big bro Lin. Your cabinet and those few bottles of unwanted shower gel and shampoo are mine now!"
"I want a share too!"
Lin Bai arrived at the room Chi Xiaoyu had given him. It was a 120-square-meter apartment with 3 bedrooms, 1 living room, 1 kitchen, and 1 bathroom. It was decorated with white tiles and looked clean and tidy.
The cat also jumped out and lay on the ground, licking its paws.
'Does every team member get a house like this?'
Lin Bai wondered if this might be special privilege from Chi Xiaoyu.
Just as Lin Bai was admiring his new home, the black cat pounced on him. A cloud of smoke spread and enveloped its entire body, transforming into a black-haired, cat-eared, 1.4-meter-tall girl who was now lying on top of Lin Bai.
"Human, meow, your anomalous friend asked me to find you. Just tell me where she is, meow."
Lin Bai looked at the big cat on him in shock and thought to himself:
'Is this the black cat from the group chat?'
"Uh, I don't know where she is either. You can wait for her here."
"Alright then, I'll wait for her here, meow."
The cat girl climbed onto the sofa, picked up the remote control, and skillfully watched TV.
Lin Bai hurriedly walked out of the room and picked up his phone to call Chi Xiaoyu.
"Hello? What is it?"
"Um, I wanted to ask, can anomalies be transformed from animals?"
"Oh, yeah. There are many types of anomalies. There are those formed from human resentment, those formed from human wishes. In short, not just animals—plants can become anomalies too."
"I see."
"Did you encounter some kind of animal anomaly?"
"No, just curious."
"Hmm."
Lin Bai thought to himself, so it means many humans fantasize about cats turning into cat girls, so cat girl anomalies actually exist.
But fortunately, this one doesn't seem to harm people?
9 PM sharp.
A wave of heat swept through Lin Bai's body, and he suddenly transformed into Bai Ling again.
Touching her face, Bai Ling understood her current situation: at 9 PM every night, she would turn into an anomaly, just like yesterday, and then return to male form during the day...
Walking into the room, the cat girl looked at Bai Ling and smiled, opening her mouth.
"You finally came, meow."
"What do you want me to help you with?"
"Come with me to eliminate the anomaly in Central First Middle School, and I'll be your underling, meow."
"What grudge do you have against it?"
"She killed my master. She's a bad person, meow!"
Bai Ling thought for a moment and said:
"I can help you."
"I'll come find you in a few days. Let me gather some people first, meow!"
After saying this, the girl turned back into a black cat and ran out...
Just then, there was a series of knocks on the door. Bai Ling hurriedly hid under the bed. The door was slowly opened, and a figure walked in through the darkness.
Chi Xiaoyu looked at the lights that were on and looked around the empty room in confusion.
"Huh? Where is he? He didn't even turn off the lights."
At this moment, Bai Ling was hiding under the bed, trembling. If Chi Xiaoyu found out that an anomaly once judged to be Anomaly King level was in this room, it would be hard to explain...
Chi Xiaoyu's phone suddenly rang.
"Captain Chi, come quickly to Central First Middle School. Someone else has jumped off the building!"
Chi Xiaoyu frowned slightly and said seriously.
"Alright."
