Yarin’s POV:
Initially, 1 would only maintain this state for a minute before immediately returning to vomiting. After training, I could barely hold on for half an hour. I must find Lily in half an hour, or we were both screwed.
Most people went to the streets to party during the Moonlight Festival. Few people stayed at home, which made it convenient for me.
i could see the whole of each room through the windows, but not all rooms have windows, and not all are transparent. Ten minutes passed, and 1 didn’t find Lily anywhere 1 could see. I thought she was locked in a room with no windows or curtains.
So I finally started to use the simplest method – shouting Lily’s name. People who didn’t know her would think it was just a small noise outside the window, and Lily would realize I was there to save her.
Perhaps the criminal was beside her, so she couldn’t make a sound. However, she was smart and knew how to use her werewolf characteristics to respond to me.
“Lily, are you there?”
This was the thirty-eighth household. They responded to me, but it wasn’t the answer I wanted. The lady of the house was also called Lily. I left immediately before she peeked out the window.
Time passed, and soon, there were only ten minutes left.
I’d already started to feel slightly dizzy. This caused my mimicry to tremble from time to time. Some of my consciousnesses suddenly merged and collapsed like bubbles exploding in a soup pot, bringing a slight but not negligible pain.
At this moment, I began to resent being so young. If 1 had already become an adult and had my wolf, I could move in a stronger wolf form instead of crying out in pain because of a little fatigue like now.
When there were five minutes left, all the opaque windows were searched, but there was still nothing.
The final target was the few and troublesome sealed rooms.
I gathered my scattered self into a whole, then split it into a few large pieces. At the same time, I went to investigate the sealed room. One of them was a dance studio.
Futuristic metal walls sealed the three sides of the room. The side facing the street was a wall of floor-to-ceiling windows, but it was tightly sealed and covered by thick linen curtains.
1 tried to look through the gap but couldn’t see anything.
“Lily, are you there?”
I shouted as loudly as possible, afraid the people inside couldn’t hear me. ｂｅｄ𝚗ｏ𝚟𝚎𝚕.𝚌𝚘ｍ
There was no response.
I asked a few more times, but I still didn’t hear anything or smell anything that belonged to Lily.
Yes, I was originally trying to find Lily through pheromones. Even if Lily couldn’t respond to me in front of the criminal, she could secretly release her pheromones so I could find her.
Lily told Heller and me about a human woman who used perfume to defeat a kidnapper with the help of the police.
But now I thought I might have taken it for granted. What if Lily couldn’t even release her pheromones?
Human women could use perfume because of the criminals ’blind spots’, because humans could not release unique scents like werewolves. But Lily was a werewolf. What if the kidnappers thought of this?
I’d been stupid again!
Now was not the time to be upset. 1 forced myself to calm down and think about other possibilities.
Couldn’t make a sound…
Unable to release pheromones…
Was there any other way to secretly send messages?
A channel that only we know of…
That was right!
I suddenly thought of Alfred, whom I had left in the alley – mind-link! Even I couldn’t hear this natural encrypted channel!
And so, in a deserted alley, Alfred, who was holding onto his clothes and waiting anxiously, suddenly felt something move in his arms. He looked down and saw a lump of pale pink ‘slime’.
“Heavens!”
He was so shocked that he almost threw everything in his hand. The next second, the slime spoke, “It’s me, Alfred. I don’t have time to explain too much. Now, I need you to keep calling Lily in your heart. Even if she doesn’t answer, you must keep calling, okay? Tell me immediately if you have any answers. Don’t delay for even a second.”
Alfred was still in a daze, but his warrior instincts told him to accept the mission immediately.
Every second felt incredibly long, and Alfred kept calling out to his little sister in his heart. His previous actions were all useless, but now Lily was on the verge of death. He had to put everything aside and call her, hoping for her answer, hoping to find a way for his sister to live.
Divided into several blocks, I changed my strategy. 1 shouted at every suspicious spot, like a primary school student calling out to a neighbor’s friend. “Lily, where are you? Your brother is looking for you to go home for dinner!
“He’s calling you, Lily!
“If you hear me, hurry up and go home with your brother!”
Time slowly passed.
I was calling.
Alfred was calling.
Three minutes left.
Two minutes later.
“Lily, are you okay? Please answer me!”
Just as Alfred thought this was futile, he heard a voice in his heart say, “Is that you? Alfred?”
