Chapter 493: Modern Era (If-Things) (21)
Anuo ignored Huo Xuan and walked towards the piano room, listening to the piano music coming from there.
As she walked to the piano room door, she saw a dark shadow flash past her.
"Xiao Qi, you're here."
Baroque stopped practicing and was about to get up and walk towards Anno when he saw her run ahead. By the time he reached the door, she was already gone.
"Xiao Qi? Where is she?"
Baroque couldn't find Anno when he got to the door, so he quickly took out his phone to call her.
Anno chased the shadowy figure all the way to the top floor.
The door to the top floor was closed, but the dark figure forced it open.
A loud bang echoed through the quiet Arts and Sports Building. Huo Xuan and Baroque, who hadn't gone far, immediately gave chase upon hearing the noise.
The dark figure stood on the edge of the rooftop.
Anno could see a tail hanging down behind him, which looked somewhat like a wolf's tail.
Seeing Anno approach, he turned his head slightly.
Anno saw his exquisitely sculpted profile, with a hint of golden light.
She gathered energy in her palm and slowly approached the figure. "You're not human. Are you registered with the Special Administration Bureau? Why are you at the school?"
The shadowy figure didn't answer her; it simply stood still, watching Anno slowly approach him.
As he got closer, he took two steps back to the edge.
Anno immediately said, "Don't move, or you'll fall."
"You're injured. Come here, I can help you heal."
She reached out her hand to the shadowy figure.
The shadowy figure stared at her hand for a while, then turned around and squatted down.
His movements were somewhat sudden, and Anno was caught off guard and met his gaze.
His face was stained with blood, and he had a pair of golden eyes that shimmered like amber in the darkness, making him extremely beautiful.
The boy in front of her twitched his nose, leaned forward slightly, and sniffed at her.
He stretched out a hand with sharp claws, about to place it into Anno's palm, when Baroque and Huo Xuan rushed up.
"Xiao Qi!"
"Anno! Are you alright?!"
Hearing the noise, the boy immediately withdrew his hand and turned to run away, but Anuo was quick and grabbed him.
The boy was incredibly strong, and Anuo's body was pulled forward by him.
Just as she was about to fall to the ground, the boy grabbed her hand, pulled her close, and jumped off the high-rise building with her in his arms, startling Baroque and Huo Xuan who rushed to the edge of the building.
They peered out and saw a giant wolf land on the roof of a slightly shorter building nearby, with Anno on its back.
The Baroque secret passage is dangerous; quickly inform Mom and Dad.
Huo Xuan was stunned. Pointing at the giant wolf that had disappeared into the night, he exclaimed, "A wolf! What a huge wolf!"
Baroque was on the phone with Locke and couldn't be bothered with Huo Xuan.
"What are you still making?! Your sister's been carried off by a wolf!"
Huo Xuan grabbed Baroque's shoulders and shook him urgently.
Baroque disliked being touched like that by someone he didn't know well, and pushed Huo Xuan away. "What else can I do but call the police?"
Huo Xuan was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Oh right, call the police."
"No, would calling the police even help? That...that's a wolf!"
He hadn't yet recovered from the shock of seeing such a large wolf.
Moreover, the wolf even jumped off such a tall building with Anno, and they were completely unharmed.
Will Anno be eaten by wolves?
Huo Xuan felt anxious and didn't know who to talk to, so he thought of his brother and took out his phone to call him.
The phone rang for a long time but no one answered.
"Why aren't you answering the phone? Bro, answer it now! The cutie you were secretly following has been snatched away by a wolf!"
Huo Xuan made several calls but no one answered. Seeing that Baroque was about to go downstairs, he had no choice but to follow him.
Anno was led by the white wolf to a place near the outskirts of the city, into an abandoned factory.
As soon as they entered, the white wolf lay down on the ground.
Anno got off him and saw him lying on the ground without moving, only turning his head to lick his injured leg.
She tried to get closer to his wound, and as soon as she did, his big head stretched out, sniffed her, and then lay back down.
Anno thought to himself, "This wolf is quite docile."
She crouched down, brushed aside the wolf fur that was stuck to the wound, and saw a long scar that stretched almost from her hind leg to her waist.
This looks like a knife wound.
She placed her hand on his wound, gathering energy in it, and as she healed him, the lines on her wrist became more and more pronounced.
In a short while, the white wolf's wounds gradually healed.
The white wolf kept watching Anno, and after she was almost healed, it leaned over and licked her.
"This injury, it wasn't caused by the Special Administration Bureau, was it?" Anno pushed its head away a little.
White Wolf nodded with his big head. The non-humans registered with the Special Administration Bureau accounted for less than a quarter of the non-human and non-human population. There were many more non-humans who did not want to be governed by the Special Administration Bureau.
The Special Administration Bureau cannot use coercive measures against them; if they are provoked, they might endanger ordinary people.
As long as these non-humans conceal their identities and do not use their abilities to harm humanity and society, the Special Administration Bureau will turn a blind eye.
Therefore, there are many non-human organizations that actively recruit non-humans in order to absorb fresh blood. Not all non-human organizations adhere to the principle of voluntariness.
Seeing how badly he was injured, Anno figured that since it wasn't the Special Administration Bureau and ordinary humans couldn't hurt him, it must have been one of these non-human organizations.
"Alright, your injuries are healed now, hurry up and take me back."
Anno took out his phone and saw many missed calls, all from his parents and Baroque.
She called them back one by one to let them know she was safe.
She had just hung up the phone with her mother when a fluffy head nudged her.
She smiled, reached out and patted his head, saying, "If you don't want to be hurt by other non-humans, you should register with the Special Administration Bureau. Maybe I can protect you in the future."
The white wolf let out a deep voice, and Anno didn't know if he had agreed.
He lay down, gesturing for Anno to sit on him.
White Wolf dropped Anuo off near the school, but Anuo, fearing he would be discovered, stopped him from continuing.
"Don't even think about running away." Anno said to him as he left, "You already have my energy mark on you. I can find you no matter where you go."
The white wolf gave her a deep look before disappearing into the night.
When Anuo returned to the dormitory, all her roommates had already come back and asked her where she had been.
"Annuo, you went to roll around in the mud!" Xia Meng looked at her in surprise, seeing her covered in dust.
Lin Xu also looked at her.
When Anuo heard what she said, she looked at herself and saw that she was indeed covered in dust, which was even more obvious since she was wearing white clothes.
She was taken to an abandoned factory by the white wolf and then climbed over the wall into the school; it's no wonder she got covered in dust.
"Oh, I'm going to take a shower."
Anuo had already taken a shower after finishing military training in the afternoon, so it was a wasted shower.
When she came out after taking a shower, the dormitory lights were already off. A beam of light shone on the bathroom door so that she could see her way back to her bed.
Anuo looked in the light and saw Lin Xu, who was still sitting at the table, listening to foreign language listening exercises with headphones on.
She turned off the flashlight after seeing her return to the bedside, without saying a word.
Anno smiled as she stared at the back of her head, lay back down on the bed, took out her phone to check her messages, and saw a message from an unknown number: Anno, are you alright?
Anno replied: Who are you?
A message came quickly: It's me, Huo Xuan. I saw you were carried off by a wolf. Are you alright?
Anno stared at the name for a while, thought about it in his mind, and only when he saw that the name mentioned wolf did he realize who the man was.
She replied: What wolf? Are you seeing things?
Once back home, Huo Xuan sat bolt upright in bed. "Impossible! I'm sure I didn't see wrong!"
Huo Xuan sent several more messages, but Anuo did not reply.
Just then, his brother finally called. "What's up?"
"Brother! You finally called me back! I saw Anuo tonight, the cute little Sanda champion you've been secretly following, she got carried away by a huge wolf!"
Huo Xuan didn't hear the voice on the other end and kept calling out to his brother, "Brother, can you hear me? Brother, brother, brother!"
"I heard you, so what?"
"She actually went back unharmed and said I was seeing things. How could I be seeing things! Her brother was there too! Do you think she killed the wolf with two punches?"
Huo Xuan said excitedly, "Damn, thank goodness I only greeted her the day before yesterday and didn't anger her, yet she managed to kill a wolf!"
Huo Yin was silent for a while on the other end of the phone, then said, "Go to sleep early, and you won't have hallucinations anymore," and hung up.
Huo Xuan stared at his phone and exclaimed, "Huh?" How come his brother also said he was hallucinating?
Absolutely impossible!
No, I'll ask Anuo properly when I get to school tomorrow. Her brother is there too, he definitely won't be mistaken!
In the Huo family mansion, Huo Yin was in his room when the butler outside brought him a tray of food, saying, "Second Young Master, you haven't eaten for almost a day."
"No need, I'm going to rest."
After the footsteps outside faded into the distance, Huo Yin put down his phone, lay back on the sofa for a while, and then got up and walked towards the bathroom.
I turned on the shower, and cold water poured down from above, washing away the mud and bloodstains from my body.
He leaned against the wall with one hand, touching his wound. There was no wound; she had truly healed him, even the old wounds that hadn't healed before had disappeared.
Tonight he was ambushed by an inhuman organization and had no choice but to hide in the school campus because they dared not go in. The school and children are subject to the strictest regulations of the inhuman management, which prohibit inhumans from approaching or harming them.
Once discovered, they will be dealt with by the Special Administration.
I never expected that she was also a non-human, and a non-human with healing abilities at that.
Healing ability is the rarest ability among non-humans. He couldn't help but feel fortunate that she had already registered with the Special Administration Bureau, which guaranteed her safety. Otherwise, she would have become a target of competition among various non-human organizations.
After taking a cold shower, Huo Yin grabbed a towel, dried his hair, and went to the study.
Upon entering the study, the first thing you see is a photo placed in the middle of the desk. The girl is wearing her team uniform, holding a trophy, and has a faint smile on her face.
