Hao Ren and Vivian waited until noon, but there was no sign of Lily.
The girl was very punctual — at least when it came to mealtimes. As a husky, she would not leave any opportunity for others to snatch her food. Usually, she would go home an hour before mealtime. Especially today, she said she would be home before noon. Therefore, her delay puzzled Hao Ren.
"This is the first time she delayed her mealtime." Vivian put the dishes on the table and looked at the door strangely. "Something happened?"
"I'll give her a call." Hao Ren took out his phone and dialed Lily's number. After a while, he shook his head and said, "No one answered."
Vivian and Hao Ren stared at each other. Finally, Vivian spoke first. "Does she have any other friends or places to go?"
"No, she came here alone like you. She's not familiar with this place." Hao Ren stood up slowly. The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. "And she usually doesn't hold back. If something really happened, she would have called us first. Could something have happened to her? "
"What could have happened to her? Her combat power is not just for show, "Vivian said casually." You're too nervous. "
"You're right. She's a werewolf after all … at least a fierce dog."
Although Hao Ren said so, the uneasiness in his heart did not recede. He did not know where the uneasiness came from. Lily had only been away for a few hours, and now she was just temporarily unable to reach her. This was not enough to make people nervous at all. However, Hao Ren felt that something was wrong. It was as if his sixth sense, which had been very sensitive since a long time ago, was stirring again. It was a little irritating, but there was nothing he could do.
"I'll release a few bats to search the nearby streets." Vivian saw Hao Ren fidgeting and stood up. She conjured a few black bats and said, "I know where she usually goes. If we can't find her, we'll go out and look for her."
Just as Hao Ren was about to nod, the phone on the armrest of the sofa suddenly rang. He quickly picked up the phone and saw Lily's profile picture on the screen. It was a white husky, which Hao Ren had changed last night for some reason. The picture was a screenshot of Lily's transformation two days ago.
"Hello, Lily?" Hao Ren waved at Vivian, indicating that it was the husky. "Where are you? Why didn't you come back at noon? "
"Mr. Landlord, Mr. Landlord, I've met two lunatics," Lily lowered her voice and said mysteriously, "They're two foreigners. They said that they're my parents and they want to bring me back to my family. I don't know where I am now."
Hao Ren's heart was in his throat. His expression changed. Vivian, who was next to him, immediately came over and asked, "What happened?"
Hao Ren waved at Vivian, signaling her not to speak. He then asked in a hurried tone, "Where are you now? What do the two foreigners look like? What did they say to you? Are you safe now? "
"I don't know where I am," Lily's voice still sounded energetic. She did not seem to be hurt, but she sounded confused. "They were very secretive and didn't explain anything. By the way, one of them is very tall, about 1.9 meters, and as strong as a bear. The other is a man about the same size as you, Mr. Landlord. He has an aquiline nose and looks very pale, like he's sick … "
Lily explained the situation to Hao Ren, but he could not grasp the gist of it. He could only conclude that the idiot had really been abducted. He was a little exasperated. "Why are you so stupid? How could you be abducted by strangers so easily? "
"I didn't want to go with them!" Lily sounded angry. "I was taken away by a cloud of black smoke! That big fellow knew magic, and a burst of black smoke brought me here. After the black smoke dispersed, I found myself in a room I didn't recognize. Usually, I would have beaten them up. But this time, the two of them seemed to be very powerful. I didn't know if I could beat them, so I didn't dare to make a move … Mr. Landlord, hurry up and save me! "
"I'll go out with Vivian now. Tell me what you saw so that I know where you are. Oh, by the way, where are the two foreigners who kidnapped you? Will you be discovered if you call them like this? "
"They went out to buy food for me, but one of them didn't go far. I can smell his scent nearby, but he won't be able to hear anything from here." Lily lowered her voice even more, to the point that Hao Ren could barely hear her. It seemed that even the husky had its own brain. "I'm in a dilapidated room. Most of the paint on the walls has fallen off. It seems to be an abandoned house. The big guy used black smoke to seal the door and windows. I can't get out or see what's going on outside. But when they opened the door just now, I took a look outside, and it looked like a warehouse. "
Hao Ren was stunned. How could he tell what was going on with such little information? There were so many abandoned warehouses in T City, and the number of warehouses that fit the description was in the double digits …
"Look around the room and see if you can find any signs." Hao Ren realized that he could not find any valuable information from the clues provided by Lily, so he quickly thought of another way. "If it's the warehouse duty room, there might be signs or waste paper left. Look for them."
"Signs …" There was a rustling sound from Lily's side. "Although it's quite run-down, the two lunatics seem to have cleaned it up. It's clean and there's nothing … Ah, found it! There's a scrap iron sign here. I can't see the words on it, but I can see something like 'Grand Luck' … Is that useful? "
"Grand Luck?" Hao Ren immediately racked his brain, trying to recall which abandoned warehouse in this city would have something to do with the word "Grand Luck". At that moment, he suddenly heard the faint sound of a metal door being pushed open from Lily's side. It sounded like the warehouse door was being pushed open. Then, Lily's voice sounded, "They're back. I'm hanging up."
"Be careful!" Hao Ren only had time to say one last sentence. "Try not to fight with them. They know magic!"
Lily grunted and hung up.
"What's the situation?" Vivian came over and asked. Although she was usually at odds with Lily, she was also very worried.
"That idiot was kidnapped … It sounds like a kidnapping to me." Hao Ren had calmed down, but he could not suppress the sense of uneasiness in his heart. "She's so powerful, yet she was kidnapped … This world is really dangerous."
Then, Hao Ren briefly explained Lily's situation to Vivian. The latter looked relieved. "Don't worry, the big dog will be fine."
Hao Ren looked at Vivian strangely. The latter reminded him, "Do you remember that Casar Ebben you met?"
Hao Ren suddenly felt goosebumps on his back. "That mighty gay?!"
"Why do you only remember the word 'gay'?" Vivian glared at Hao Ren. "If I'm right, Lily was taken away by that Casar Ebben. She was discovered by her own kind."
"Same kind?" Hao Ren suddenly understood. "You mean that gay is a werewolf?!"
"The Ebben family. If I'm not wrong, it should be them." Vivian exhaled, looking a little annoyed. "Tsk, I shouldn't have been so careless. Looks like I've lost my vigilance after a hundred years. I should've thought of them when I heard the name Ebben."
Hao Ren blinked. "If it's a werewolf, why did they kidnap Lily?"
"What else? They brought their own kind back. "Vivian shrugged." The Ebben family is one of the few otherworldling families that still fantasize about the revival of the 'Mythological Era'. They're also the only werewolf clan that cares about 'family values'. They've been searching for their lost compatriots all over the world. In the beginning, they only gathered their own family members or relatives. But in the past two hundred years, they've expanded their scope to include the entire werewolf population. As long as it's a werewolf, they'll be attracted to them. Someone like Lily … unless they saw her with their own eyes, who would've thought that she's a husky? "
Hao Ren was speechless.
Obviously, the two unlucky werewolves who kidnapped Lily were tricked.
