White-haired loli

As the Lights in the cinema Projection Hall went completely dark, the movie officially began.

However, Xia Wen's mind was no longer on the movie; instead, he was staring at the other side of the aisle with a look of utter disbelief.

Her Best Friend was impersonated by a ghost Anomaly, and she and the ghost story traveled together to the movie theater without her noticing. That would have been one thing, and the Anomaly suddenly turning into a little girl with white hair and red eyes wouldn't have been a big deal either... But that's not the key issue.

As the saying goes, even Hero have difficulty resisting the charms of beautiful women, but in her opinion, Bai Zhi was more like Hero who couldn't resist the charms of a loli. It was one thing for him to forcibly hug her and whisper to her for a while, and she didn't know what they talked about, but now even handcuffs had been used... With her extensive experience in reading doujinshi, almost instantly, more than a dozen doujinshi related to handcuffs, loli, and Movie Theater flashed through her mind.

That's Anomaly!!!

While it's true that the other person is very cute, that's still Anomaly!!

Even if everything can be anthropomorphized into a girl, and even something as outrageous as Cockroach Girl has emerged, it's still a cockroach, okay?!

Just as few people have any fondness for cockroaches, Xia Wen, who recently experienced Anomaly Incident firsthand, also has no liking for Anomaly.

So now, seeing how Bai Zhi dealt with the Anomaly of the loli-like appearance, Xia Wen felt a deep sense of heartache.

Dude, you've gone astray!

"Speak, what do you want to know?"

The little girl glanced at the handcuffs on her wrists and sighed.

"Let me state upfront that there are some things I don't know very well either, after all, I only recently woke up."

"Hmm... first tell me what kind of existence you are right now."

Bai Zhi glanced at the movie screen in front of him and asked a question.

"To be honest, I'm quite curious about this, since based on the feel of you before, you're no different from a human in terms of body temperature or weight."

"... abnormal."

The White-haired loli's lips twitched slightly.

"It's just stating the facts; the feel is indeed very good. Speaking the truth has always been one of my strengths."

Bai Zhi maintained a calm expression.

"To be honest, although we uniformly categorize you all as Anomaly, there are still some differences between them, right?"

"Anomaly is Anomaly, what's the big difference? I'm just the kind of Anomaly that came from Outside the World."

As if recalling some past events, the little girl's voice sounded slightly low.

"Strictly speaking, according to the classification of the Shadow Realm, I would probably belong to the Wraith Type."

"Wraith... Can you also communicate with other Anomaly like yourself who descended from Outside the World?"

"Communication? What do you take Anomaly for?"

The little girl turned around and glanced at him.

"After becoming a monster, my form of existence also changed, as if I were sinking into a quagmire. Every moment, my self-awareness was being eroded, and my Sanity gradually entered that unspeakable bottomless Abyss... Do you think there are many beings like me who still retain a relatively complete sense of self?"

The little girl laughed, almost self-deprecatingly.

"Or you could say that in the world I originally belonged to, I'm probably the only one left who still retains a clear sense of self."

"Hmm? Wasn't that little boy your companion from before? By the way, who is he to you?"

Bai Zhi raised an eyebrow with interest.

"... He is my elder brother, although he himself may have forgotten."

After a moment of silence, the little girl gave her answer.

"Don't even think about befriending Anomaly. Even if they can maintain their senses when they first become Anomaly, they will gradually descend into the Abyss of depravity as time goes by."

And what about you?

"I refuse to answer questions about such private matters."

After a moment of silence, the little girl spoke.

"Now that you have complete control over that Land Deed, you should have acquired that Skill as well. To fully unleash the power of that Skill, you must first..."

Before the little girl could finish her sentence, Bai Zhi delivered a clean and decisive chop to her head.

"I'm asking you questions now, so please make sure you understand this first. Don't try to take the initiative. As I said, I don't fully Trust you yet."

With a slight pursing of his lips, Bai Zhi began to speak.

"Alright, let's get back to the main topic. What exactly happened to your world that caused it to become like this?"

"... I was too young to know at that time."

How did you become like this?

"I was too young to know that time."

"... What's the point of that Land Deed? Why do you insist on taking it back?"

"I was too young to know that time."

With a soft hum, the little girl turned her head to the side.

Are you sure you don't want to tell me?

Looking at the White-haired loli beside him, who was adopting a non-violent and uncooperative stance, Bai Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Don't forget, everything about you is now in my hands. It seems you can't stop me from doing whatever I want to you; you can only passively accept it, right?"

"... Do you want to learn from Xu Xian and Ning Caichen?"

The little girl's face paled slightly.

"I'm still young, you wouldn't be so heartless..."

A Precision chop to the head landed squarely on her forehead.

"What are you thinking? At worst, I'll just kill you outright."

Bai Zhi remained calm.

"A slightly less extreme approach would be to force you to eat something... like the Herring Can I ordered is almost here."

"Tch... do you really think I know a lot of things?"

The White-haired loli pursed her lips and glanced at him.

"If you really want to know the secret of that Land Deed, just take me with you next time you enter that world. As for the rest, if you're so capable, go and figure it out yourself. Do you feel any sense of accomplishment threatening a little Girl who's not even ten years old?"

"You belong to the Anomaly now, not to little Girl."

Bai Zhi corrected the other person's grammatical error.

"There are no human rights protection laws for Anomaly."
