Chapter 358 16. The Disappearance of Xina
As the protagonist and a high-profile person, Luther King came to invite Annan.
"No, I really have to go back and feed the dogs."
Xianna took Suni and her sisters and set off with their classmates, while Annan stayed at the much deserted banquet.
"Who do you think it is?" Alice asked him.
"I don't know, but it should be a man." Annan analyzed.
Alice was silent for a few seconds, which was regarded as acquiescence, and looked at the students from Syltovis College who were walking here.
"That's them?"
"It's not us." Gordon said seriously.
Siltovis Magic Academy knew from top to bottom that they had lost to a monster with an elemental legion, and they could not even think of causing trouble to him.
"That's such a shame."
Alice and Gordon looked at him at the same time.
“What I mean is that superficial hostility is better than hidden conspiracy.”
“We will keep an eye out for you.”
Srtovi The people from Si Magic Academy left not long after, and there were fewer and fewer people in the auditorium. After the dean and the vice-dean left, Annan also got on the carriage left by the dean, said goodbye to Alice, and returned. Mansion.
This was Annan's first night out at Srtoves. The streets were deserted, with only the hurried passers-by and the lights of the houses lighting up the night sky, indicating that this was not a dead city. The guards I met occasionally saw the school badge of Salz College and kept silent in a tacit agreement.
Thinking of the curfew, Annan, who was weak and helpless, felt uneasy, fearing that the vampire queen, succubus, and rat-woman were the terrifying existences that coveted him. However, Annan did not encounter any of them when he returned to the mansion.
Stopping in front of the mansion, Annan handed the reins to the waiting waiter who was waiting for him. Just as he was about to step in, the shadow of a stick-like object suddenly spread from behind to his feet... Annan suddenly turned around and traced the shadow to see Source - a tabby cat squatting at the door.
"Good night."
The relieved Annan waved to the tabby cat, but it suddenly spoke in common language: "Do you have anything to eat for the cat?"
"...No."
"Good night then."
Before Annan could say to buy some for it, the tabby cat ran out lamely. It ran very fast, as if something was chasing it.
Annan looked up in the direction of the footsteps and saw the waiter rushing over with a broom.
“That cat is always barking at people. It’s really annoying. I hope you’ll forgive me.”
Syltovis, which has two magic academies, has a strong magical atmosphere, but the waiters should not be indifferent to a talking cat.
"What's its name?" Annan thought thoughtfully.
"Of course it's a cat meowing..."
So only I understand it?
Put away your doubts and return to the room. Martin is holding his apple pie and having a sweet dream.
It seemed that Annan didn't have to worry about Martin starving to death.
Back in the bedroom, Annan took back the magic potion and hid it under the bed, and began today's meditation.
……
The first ray of light in the morning enters the bedroom, passing through the smoke and windows, reflecting a hazy halo.
Annan woke up from a deep sleep and looked out the window, his black eyes turning amber-like in the sunlight. Thinking of the deserted scene last night, Annan thought that Xinxingyue Bay would definitely be a city that never sleeps in the future.
After washing and cleaning, Annan saw the tabby cat again when he went out. It sat on the eaves, the sun shining on the dirty strands of sticky hair, but the warmth made it squint its eyes happily.
Another golden dragon that turned into an animal?
Annan walked into a street restaurant, and soon came out with a piece of bacon, waving to the tabby cat that was looking at him.
The tabby cat nimbly jumped from the window frame to the bucket and landed on the ground. It rubbed its tail against Annan's leg and stamped it with a dirty seal.
Annan handed the bacon to it, and the tabby cat took it to the ground and devoured it, not bothering with the dust on the ground.
Squat in front of the tabby cat and observe. It looked like it had been bitten by a dog or something, it was scabbed over, but the lack of hair around it and the limp meant the pain hadn't left.
A lame golden dragon?
But the golden dragon just likes to transform into a human or animal and sneak into the town to fish, not Sims.
This is probably just an "ordinary" cat.
"The cat is full." The tabby cat, whose belly was still shriveled, raised its head, "Why can I understand you?" Annan asked.
“Because you are a good person.”
It rubbed against Annan’s leg again, leaving new marks.
“You live here?”
“Yes, this is my and my friends’ territory.”
The passers-by around looked at Annan talking to a cat with smiles. Annan didn't pay attention and wanted to touch its head. He didn't remember anything until he reached out halfway, but the tabby cat had already lowered his head and rubbed it over.
Annan touched the tabby cat, made an appointment with it to come back in the evening and bring it delicious food, and rushed to the college.
"Annan, what's wrong with your hand?"
As soon as Annan, who had attracted much attention, entered the classroom and sat down, a girl asked in surprise.
An itchy red bump appeared on the palm of Annan's hand, as if he was allergic.
"Nothing..."
It should be the tabby cat carrying fleas.
"Your Highness...Your Highness..."
A few minutes before the first class, Luther King stood outside the door and waved anxiously to Annan.
Annan came to the corridor, and Alice followed.
"Xiana and Suni are missing! We spent the night..."
In Luther King's narration, they rented a tavern to continue partying at night. When they woke up from their respective rooms the next day, they found that they were missing. .
“Why don’t you ask the professor?”
“The professor is not as good as you, and if the professor knows...”
The professor will know if they know their parents, and the parents will know Knowing that they would be in trouble... Although Xana and Suni's disappearance would be more troublesome, what if they just made an appointment and ran away somewhere?
Thinking of Xian Na's shouts in the arena, Annan couldn't let it go.
"Did you go to her house?"
"No, we thought they were at the college..."
"Go to her house first."
As the hope of Saltz College, Annan led Luther King and the others to Waters Manor regardless of whether he attended classes or not.
"You guys go in, I'll stay outside." Annan said, "Her mother doesn't like me very much."
"None of us have met Xanna's family..."
Annan had no choice but to Come to the door and tell the housekeeper that he has something to see Mrs. Waters.
Annan successfully entered the manor, but felt that the butler's expression was a little strange. After being taken to the living room and waiting for a while, Xian Na's mother sat at the round table in the living room, keeping a distance from Anan.
“Aunt——”
"Get out..." Xian Na's mother suddenly said.
"I want to say that your daughter——"
"Get out...!"
She seemed to be enduring something. Annan had just been taken out of the living room by the housekeeper. She propped herself up on the round table, trembling for a while before she surfaced like a drowning person, panting violently, with fine sweat oozing out from her pink skin.
On the other side, Annan walked out of the manor and shook his head at his companions outside.
"As soon as I spoke, she told me to get out."
"Then I'll try..."
Luther King followed the housekeeper in and came out after a while, his sad face showed that got the result.
"I didn't even see her face..."
Luther King said that just when he wanted to go in, he was kicked out by the maid holding clothes.
