A strange world

Chapter 358 Section 16. The Disappearance of Xana

As a protagonist and a high-profile person, Luther King came to invite Annan.

"No, I really have to go back and feed the dog."

Xian Na 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 of Syltovis College who were walking this way.

"That's them?"

"Not us," Gordon said seriously.

Syltovis 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 a shame."

Alice and Gordon looked at him at the same time.

"I mean a superficial hostility is better than a hidden conspiracy."

"We'll keep an eye out for you."

The people from the Syltovis 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 and met Ellie. Si said goodbye and returned to the 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 suddenly spread from behind to his feet... Annan suddenly turned back, traced the shadow and saw the source - a tabby cat. Squatting at the door.

"Good night."

Annan, who was relieved, waved to the tabby cat, and the cat suddenly spoke in common language: "Do you have anything to eat for the cat?"

"……No."

"Good night then."

Before Annan could tell him 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 where the footsteps came from and saw the waiter rushing over with a broom in hand.

"That cat always barks at people. It's really annoying. I hope you can 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 meow..."

So only you understand it?

Putting away his doubts and returning to the room, Martin was having a sweet dream with his apple pie in his arms.

It seemed that Annan didn't have to worry about Martin starving to death.

Back in the bedroom, Annan took back the stolen 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 turns 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 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, and it had 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 really just an "ordinary" cat.

"The cat is full." The tabby cat, whose belly was still shriveled, raised its head and said,

"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 petted 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?"

Annan, who had attracted much attention, had just entered the classroom and sat down when a girl asked in surprise.

An itchy red bump appeared on the palm of Annan's hand, as if he had an allergy.

"nothing……"

It's probably the tabby cat that has 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.

"Xianna and Suni are missing! We will..."

In Luther King's account, they rented a tavern to continue the party at night, and woke up from their respective rooms the next day to find that they were missing.

"Why not ask the professor?"

"The professor is not as good as you, and if the professor knows..."

If the professor knows about their parents, they will know about it. If their parents know about them, they will be in trouble... Although the disappearance of Xian Na and Suni is more troublesome, what if they just made an appointment and ran away?

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 academy..."

"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 go in, I'll stay outside." Annan said, "Her mother doesn't like me very much."

"None of us have met Xana's family..."

Annan had no choice but to come to the door and tell the housekeeper that he wanted 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——"

"go 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 mournful face showing the result.

"I didn't even see her face..."

Luther King said that as soon as he wanted to go in, he was kicked out by a maid carrying clothes.
