Locating Lily's whereabouts did not seem to be as difficult as imagined. Perhaps, the two werewolves who "kidnapped" Lily did not expect a high-ranking vampire to go through so much trouble to rescue a werewolf. They only trapped Lily in an old warehouse in the Northern Suburbs, but they did not completely isolate the werewolf's... husky scent from the warehouse.
Of course, it was also possible that Casar Ebben did not have the ability to do so. After all, according to Vivian, werewolves rarely knew high-level spells. Judging from their personalities, they did not seem to be the type to delve into the art of enchantment. The Ebben family's Black Mist talent was one of the few "top-notch magic" among the werewolves. They knew how to use their talent to hide themselves in the dark, but it was difficult to create an enchantment to hide others.
But now there was a problem in front of Hao Ren: the Northern Suburbs was quite far away. He had to cross the entire city and a large stretch of suburbs to get there. The Northern and Southern Suburbs happened to be on the opposite side of the city! Vivian's bat could fly over unscientifically at 120 miles per hour, but it would be too late for Hao Ren to run there. With Lily's idiocy... they might have already started fighting by now.
"Do you want me to fly with you?" Vivian stretched her body, ready to fly with a heavy load. "I can use magic to make myself invisible. Most people won't be able to see us. But flying at high speed... I have no problem. You might feel a little uncomfortable. "
Hao Ren sighed and said, "That's it. It'll be too late to say anything when Lily starts fighting."
Vivian spread her huge bat wings and held out her hand to Hao Ren. "Then let's not delay any further. Let's go."
"Wait a minute, I'll leave a note for Y'zaks." Hao Ren waved his hand at Vivian and ran into the house to take out a pen and paper. He wrote a short note, explaining the general situation with Lily and his whereabouts. Only then did he realize that there were many details that he had not paid attention to. Among all the tenants, only Lily had a mobile phone to keep in touch. He did not have the means to locate the tenants at any time. He also lacked convenient transportation... A lot of problems were exposed this time. But now was not the time to dwell on it. After this matter was settled, he would definitely pay Raven a visit.
After leaving the note, Hao Ren and Vivian went straight to the Northern Suburbs at lightning speed.
High up in the sky, high speed, cold wind howling, and thin air, Hao Ren did not have the luxury of enjoying the so-called soft and fragrant body (in fact, he would not be able to enjoy it under other circumstances: Vivian's body temperature was a few degrees lower than a normal person). He felt a little guilty being carried by a girl every time. So, he yelled at Vivian, "I have to try to get a new ability from Raven 12345 as soon as possible. At the very least, I have to learn how to fly. You see, it's so troublesome these few times..."
If an ordinary person were to speak while flying at a speed of more than a hundred miles per hour, they would have fainted on the spot due to the lack of oxygen. However, Hao Ren was still able to hold on. The cold wind and small ice crystals filled his stomach. After he yelled at the top of his lungs, he felt that it was incredible.
Of course, Vivian could hear the embarrassment in Hao Ren's voice. She smiled nonchalantly. "It's fun to fly with you. I've never had this kind of experience before. I've been alone for so many years. Now that I have someone to hang on me, it's quite a new experience."
Hao Ren was speechless. He felt that the vampire lady's words were a little strange. But, he decided not to dwell on it...
Vivian was very fast. It did not take long for the two of them to cross the entire city. They arrived at an area that was as barren as the Southern Suburbs.
This was the Northern Suburbs. It was an old industrial and commercial area far away from the residential areas of the Northern Suburbs. In the past, a large number of factories, warehouses, and logistics companies operated in this area. Naturally, these polluting and noisy units were located far away from human habitation. However, in the past two years, with the redevelopment of the main roads near the city and the shift of the business focus, many of the original businesses in the area had moved to better locations. The Northern Suburbs Industrial and Commercial Area was thus abandoned. Now, there were only a few heavily polluting or inconvenient businesses still operating in the area. Most of the buildings were simple warehouses that had not been cleaned up or were simply abandoned. It was said that the municipal authorities were already considering the issue of redeveloping this old industrial and commercial area, but that would be at least a few years later.
The current Northern Suburbs Industrial and Commercial Area was just a barren land filled with old factories.
Vivian and Hao Ren landed on the roof of a two-story steel building. Vivian deactivated the rather taxing invisibility spell and pointed to a large facility not far away. "It's in that direction. My bats are hanging under the eaves. Doggie's scent is coming from there. But there's a lot of black fog circling around the warehouse, blocking all the entrances and exits. The bats can't fly in. The werewolves of the Ebben family... Tsk tsk, as troublesome as ever. "
Hao Ren craned his neck to take a look. "Looks like they haven't started fighting yet."
"Do you have a plan?" Vivian turned to look at Hao Ren. "Should we start fighting or what?"
Hao Ren looked a little troubled. To be honest, he had considered the problem of starting a fight, but the situation seemed a little complicated. Strictly speaking, the two genuine werewolves were not kidnapped. They actually found Lily with the mentality of looking for their own kind. Although he did not know why they did not directly tell Lily about the situation, at least from the motive, the two werewolves did not have the intention to hurt anyone.
However, Hao Ren was not naive enough to think that he could negotiate with the other party and bring Lily home. The real werewolves in this world were definitely not as weird as Lily. As many stories said, genuine werewolves were violent and difficult to get along with. If he showed up like this... there was a high chance that they would really fight.
Hao Ren recalled his experience of fighting the giant wolves in The Plane of Dreams. He tried to concentrate and get into combat mode like in the novels. He then pouted his lips towards the direction of the warehouse. "Do you know where Lily is?"
"I have a general direction." Vivian pointed to the west side of the warehouse. "There's a row of windows shrouded in black fog. It should be an office or something like that. Lily is in one of them."
"Can we lure the two werewolves away first, and then we rush in and snatch Lily out?" Hao Ren thought of a countermeasure. "Once the three of us meet up, we won't have to worry even if we have to fight."
Vivian nodded. She closed her eyes and silently chanted a spell that sounded very awkward. A pale red mist appeared out of thin air and quickly gathered into a blurry figure. It was Vivian's image.
The doppelganger formed by the blood mist solidified at a speed visible to the naked eye. A swarm of small bats also appeared behind it and flew up and down around it. Vivian pointed in the direction of the warehouse's main entrance. The doppelganger then rushed straight in with a swarm of bats.
The blood mist doppelganger did not conceal its presence at all. So, when it was halfway through its flight, Hao Ren saw a large cloud of black fog surging out of the warehouse's main entrance. The werewolves inside were indeed alerted.
"Let's go!" Vivian pulled Hao Ren's arm and the two of them leaped down from the roof like arrows. They headed straight for the row of windows on the west side of the warehouse.
The area was surrounded by abandoned factories and piles of construction waste. There was no need to worry about anyone seeing what was happening here. So, Vivian did not even put away her bat wings. She glided close to the ground and reached the side of the warehouse in the blink of an eye. Although Hao Ren could only run on the ground, he could still barely keep up with her if he had enough strength.
The two of them arrived at the foot of the warehouse's west wall. Almost at the same time, they heard a beast-like roar coming from the warehouse's main entrance. Obviously, Vivian's doppelganger had already engaged the werewolves.
"My blood mist can corrode glass and ceramics." A sinister smile appeared on Vivian's face. "Many werewolves have fallen victim to this. Hopefully, the Ebbens have sent two smart ones this time."
Hao Ren looked up at the row of windows above. Judging from the height, the warehouse should be divided into two floors. Lily's duty room or office was located on the second floor of the warehouse. Just as Vivian had said, there was a cloud of black fog outside every window. It was disgusting and creepy.
Hao Ren touched his trouser pocket. A voice immediately rang in his mind. "I'm warning you, if you dare to throw me out..."
"Why would I throw you out?" Hao Ren was speechless at the MDT that was already a little paranoid. "I'll get my phone and call Lily. Let her see if she can force her way through..."
Before Hao Ren's voice trailed off, a sudden roar came from not far away. "Bastard! It's really you blood-sucking worms! "
