Chapter 362: Sadness and Guilt
"Are you sure this is fine?" the woman who took Anna said. She was sitting across from the 'unconscious' Anna. "If the Headmistress knows that it's us who took her here… she would expel us. After all, we are still inside the academy."
"The headmistress didn't even know that we were already back. Can you just relax?"
"He's right. Relax. Alpha Urchaid would take over and we can forget about everything here."
"I just — I have a bad feeling about this. I mean… "
"If you want… you can leave ahead of time. Just to… you know… calm down. Stop thinking about it."
The woman let out a loud sigh. "I just… you know. Nevermind. I will wait for you guys outside."
"Huh?"
Everyone stopped talking when the bulb inside the basement suddenly cracked. Then, it literally broke and fell into the concrete floor.
"How is that… possible?"
"That — " Before the man could finish his words, his head was suddenly kicked away from his body. It fell to the floor with a loud thud.
While it was completely dark, all of them were Lycan's. Their senses were heightened, and that includes their sense of sight.
They saw the head detached from the body. They also saw the blood that looked like a waterfall, but they didn't see who attacked them.
When the woman realized that they were in danger, she yelled for help.
But it was too late.
…
Anna walked out of the basement. Her clothes were still the same. Not a speck of blood can be seen in them.
She walked barefoot into the living room and realized that she was inside a small cabin. A fireplace and a cozy couch can be seen near her. There were also some picture frames on the walls.
Families, people, smiling toward the cameras.
It looked like this place was like a cabin that everyone can use?
When the smell of burnt flesh filled the room, Anna opened all the windows, letting the smoke out.
She then wondered if the talisman that she used on them was effective.
It was something that could dissolve bodies.
Anna frowned. She wasn't in a bad mood because someone dared to kidnap her. She was a little irritated that she had to use another one of her talismans! Lily was running out of Talismans!
She needed to replenish her supplies and go to a world where she could create those talismans.
Actually, she could create talismans in Zealandia. But this time, she didn't possess the body of a powerful saintess.
She was a werewolf and she couldn't use any elements or whatever Saintess Rhea had. She could also use the system and buy some supplies, but those things were pretty expensive! Moreover, they are getting more and more expensive every time she buys something!
All she can do is use brute force and transform into a wolf!
Just the thought of it is making her more and more irritated.
While she hasn't transformed yet, she recalled that Anna always thought it was painful. That previous Anna was already used to the pain but… Lily was not!
After a while, she went back to the basement and made sure that the bodies didn't leave any traces before leaving.
She still needed to visit a few places.
Now that she was already here… She was planning to visit the location of her pack, which should be about a hundred miles away from this place.
The thing is…
She would need to teleport to be able to get there!
And to do that, she would need another talisman!
She gnashed her teeth and thought of other ways. After checking the time, she finally used another talisman.
Luckily, she only needs one to travel back and forth. She could also use the same portal repeatedly. All she needed was to use her blood to act like some sort of password for the portal.
After finally looking for the right location, she finally opened a portal that would lead her toward the mountain just behind their packhouse.
However, just before she could go into the portal, she smelled someone familiar.
She turned towards the house and, just as she expected; it was Mo Li.
He had a hurried look on his face as he walked inside the house.
Then, he heard him let out a curse before running out. He couldn't detect her presence and that must be because she was already near the portal. And the only way for Mo Li to see the portal was if she smeared some blood on his forehead.
Confused, Anna looked in the direction where Mo Li had disappeared. Was he looking for her?
No. That's impossible.
Mo Li hated her because of her father.
Why would he try to look for her?
Then, there is the second possibility.
Was he involved in her kidnapping?
She shrugged and decided to think about this once she is back. For now, she is going to visit their packhouse.
Nausea hit her the moment she walked inside the portal.
Actually, this was her first time using this talisman, so she wasn't so sure how this works. She heard a buzzing noise and when she opened her eyes again, she was already in a different place.
Using Anna's memory, she walked towards the packhouse. Slowly, her heart thudded, and her body turned rigid.
This was not because Lily felt emotional. It was because of the original soul.
Anna… started shaking.
Lily halted her steps and leaned against a tree.
Forests and beautiful nature surrounded her. But the body that she was in was shivering both in anger, sadness, and nervousness.
For some reason, she also felt a little bit of guilt inside this body.
The original Anna must have blamed herself for what happened to her family.
From the memory that Lily saw, it looked like Anna's father asked her to leave the packhouse so everyone could decorate for her birthday.
And since she was already used to this, she left asking no more questions and, just as always, came back around five to receive her 'surprise' from her father.
Well, she received a surprise.
And it was something that she would never forget… for the rest of her life.
