A strange world

Chapter 359 Section 17. Looking for Xanna

The anxious and disoriented people soon received good news and bad news.

The bad news is that Xian Na and Suni did encounter something unexpected. The good news is that they actually met Suni who was released.

"Who caught you?"

"have no idea."

Annan vaguely felt that it was related to him, but Suni's subsequent narration led the trouble to an accident.

"Xianna took me to her room. The window suddenly opened late at night, and a group of bats broke in and hypnotized us and kidnapped us."

"Bat? Vampire?"

Annan thought about the reason for the curfew in the Innocence City.

Suni said they looked like vampires because they were pale and dark, wore ancient dresses, and had a strong smell of blood.

Annan was very interested in succubi and vampires, but these two magical creatures hated the cold and had no chance of meeting them in the north - not counting Wood, who had been expelled from the blood register since he fed on animal blood.

And he's a male vampire.

"Why did they let you go?" Alice suddenly said.

"Because of my identity. They took us to the vampire lair and locked us in a dungeon. In the morning, a charming woman dressed in mercenary leather armor came and saw me. 'Unlucky, how come you brought the groom.' She So said."

Then Suni made a dull voice like an idiot, just like Martin: ""The vampire who captured us said, 'She is with that woman.'" The charming vampire said, 'The groom is poor and troublesome, let her go quickly.' , and I was thrown out.”

"Is she pretty?"

Everyone who was still digesting the information looked at Annan who was speaking strangely.

"Annan, how could you do this!" One of Xian Na's followers, a petite girl, said anxiously.

"What I mean is that there aren't too many vampires in the city, and there are even fewer good-looking ones. Plus leather armor... we should be able to find out."

"Sorry..." the girl said guiltily.

Just when Annan wanted to congratulate himself on his wisdom, he found Alice staring at him with a scrutinizing look.

"She knows the 'Eternal Groom', which means she is familiar with Sirtovis. Then the capture of Xana is not for blood food..." Annan added, "It is still necessary to contact Xana's mother again..."

"Let's go in together," the girl said.

To prevent being kicked out again, they first told the housekeeper that Xana had been captured by a vampire, and then followed the anxious housekeeper into the mansion.

Xian Na's mother hurriedly appeared on the stairs, but after a while she changed into a loose white dress for home. She frowned and called the housekeeper to whisper a few words.

The housekeeper walked down the stairs and said to Annan: "Madam, I hope you can leave here first."

Annan opened his mouth to speak when the housekeeper said again: "Madam, I hope you won't speak."

Annan also frowned. He had no impression of Xina's mother or the Waters family, but she rejected him again and again... Rat Man? Or from the north? Annan stared deeply at Xina's mother——

"And don't look at her."

Annan stood up silently and whispered as he passed Alice: "Remember to ask her for key information."

"good."

Alice nodded thoughtfully as she stared thoughtfully at Mrs. Waters, who was holding on to the guardrail.

The housekeeper personally sent Annan out of the mansion, saying that Annan could wait for his companions in the manor, but Annan refused and came to the street.

Annan thought about the reason why Xina's mother was disgusted with him, and thought about the vampire who captured Xina. I thought about the Empire Contest and the current situation in the North. At a certain moment, in the alley at the intersection in the distance, a strong silhouette flashed past.

Annan, who noticed from the corner of his eye, stepped over and stood at the entrance of the alley. He saw the tabby cat that could only speak Mandarin sitting in the trash can outside the mansion, talking to its cat friends:

"When I first arrived at that home, my family loved me very much. They fed me piles of delicious food that you could never imagine."

Putrid residues, vomit, and garbage are mixed together, breeding germs in dark corners. But the chattering tabby cat and the cat friends who listened carefully did not care.

"The master always hunts amazing prey. The mistress will feed me fresh and tender fish meat. The little master likes to dress me up."

He showed a squinting expression as if he were basking in the warm sunshine.

"It was such a wonderful time..."

Click——

The door in the alley suddenly opened, and the sleepy man who had been awakened came out. The cats looked at each other, and saw an orange cat that had licked its fur clean and came close to meowing. As a result, the man picked up a stone and threw it at them. The stone happened to hit the cat's back, causing it to make a miserable meow. The orange cat and the group of cats who wanted to show their goodwill also ran around in the alley and fled.

This scene made Annan frown, and returned to the door of the manor without doing anything.

Alice and the others just came out, looking puzzled.

They said that Xian Na's mother did not want to alarm the college and the city hall, and entrusted them to find Xian Na. They also said that Xian Na's life would not be in danger, but they must seize the time to find her.

There seems to be a hidden secret behind Xian Na's disappearance.

"Then the rest will be left to you." Knowing that Xian Na was fine, Annan stopped participating.

Xian Na's sisters hoped that An Nan would continue to help, but he refused. Annan had no reason to continue getting close to Xanna's mother who hated him.

"She said she was willing to compensate," Alice said.

"How much?" Annan stopped as he walked towards the carriage.

"I won't give you money directly, but I will give you valuable potions or scrolls."

"Everyone, let's split up. Alice, go to the college to investigate. Luther King, you can ask about qualified vampires in the tavern and near the place where Xiana disappeared. Also ask the butler."

Xian Na's mother hated her, but Annan felt that the housekeeper's attitude towards her was pretty good.

Annan was going back to the mansion, so Alice got on his carriage and separated from her classmates in front of the manor. When passing the alley, Annan suddenly pulled the reins and asked Alice to wait, then got into the alley and summoned a low-level earth elemental.

"Put some mud on the door." Annan ordered.

After a while, Annan walked out of the alley refreshed and returned to the mansion.

"The locals don't seem to like cats?" Annan, who was holding the reins, turned back and asked Alice.

"I just feel unlucky."

"Why?"

"When the City of Innocence was first ruled by sin, the King of Sin would let his black cat announce it when he spread death. Over time, people associated death with cats."

"Then if a cat can speak human language..." Annan thought to himself, could it be that the King of Sin has revived...

"Some bored mage cast Common Tongue Mastery on it."

Well, Annan always forgot about magic when he was thinking about it.

The carriage stopped in front of the mansion. As soon as Annan stepped out of the carriage, he saw the tabby cat lying motionless in the flower bed on the roadside.

The carriage behind him slowly drove away, and Annan in the sun seemed to be grabbed by a cold hand, sinking heavily.
