Chapter 381: Hybrid
Anna had a mate? But… was it the previous Anna? Or this new Anna?
Until now, she couldn't understand why Mo Li claimed she was her mate. She had felt something when they kissed earlier, but why didn't she feel it before?
Lily thought about the things that she read about mates.
They exist but… one can have human, elemental, and human mates. Meaning, that if the person wouldn't explore the whole of Zealandia, there is a chance that they might not meet their mates at all.
In fact, Anna's mother and father Isaac were not even mates.
They fell in love and married each other. They didn't even try to find their mates.
While a few people found their mates, this incident was fortunate and fated. This happened to the King and his Luna. Rumor has it that the King's mate is actually the Mistress and not Queen Luna.
Of course, the King didn't confirm this.
And no one really dared to ask him.
Mo Li also said that while he felt something different the first time they met, he could only confirm everything after he woke up from a five-day coma. When he woke up, all of his wounds were healed and Anna was gone.
While he wanted to immediately leave and find Anna, his mother wanted him to stay. She begged him to wait for at least two weeks to make sure that he was well.
Actually, Mo Li didn't wait for two weeks. The only reason why he was able to come here is that he promised his mother that he would show up for the competition.
She eyed Mo Li, who was sleeping next to her. Despite the kiss earlier, both of them chose to take everything slowly. They did choose to stay inside one room, but that was because they had a long talk about the things that happened after Anna left.
The only thing that surprised her was the fact that Mo Li claimed he was no longer a Lycan. He asked her what she did to him. Of course, she didn't tell him anything. Instead, she just said that she used a talisman that was gifted by her father a long time ago.
Anna claimed she used the talisman to heal Mo Li. Aside from that, she did nothing.
She knew that Mo Li didn't believe her words. Luckily, he didn't ask any questions.
[Robot… scan him.]
[Scanning started…]
[Scanning failure.]
'What?' she narrowed her eyes. Failure? How is that possible?
'Again!'
[Scanning started…]
[Scanning failure.]
'Again!'
[Scanning started…]
[Scanning failure.]
'Again!'
[Scanning started…]
[Scanning failure.]
'Again!'
[Scanning started…]
[Scanning failure.]
'Tsk. What is happening? Why couldn't she scan him?'
'System… is he still Lycan?'
[Unable to identify the race.]
'If he was no longer human, then… just what happened?'
Mo Li smelled the same. To her, he smelled just like a Lycan. Moreover, her senses were superior, and she didn't notice anything amiss with him. Honestly? It was surprising.
The system already informed her that there would be consequences, but the fact that the system would change Mo Li's race is just… too incomprehensible. Just what kind of system that she has?
Who made the system?
And why does she have it?
So many questions.
The more she asked, the more confused she became.
After a few seconds, she sat on the chair inside the room and stared outside of the window. It was already the dead of the night. Aside from the drunkard outside, she could smell Lycan's strong ones. They are the ones patrolling the area.
Under the disguise of drunk lovers, they were able to rent a private room, which was pretty helpful.
For some reason, this reminded her of what had happened in the previous world.
At that time, she had to disguise herself as a pregnant woman.
Memories, she sighed inwardly.
She could only wish that she could keep those memories after this world.
For the umpteenth time, she assessed her feelings towards Mo Li.
The possibility that this Mo Li and the previous Mo Li were one, and the same, was getting higher and higher. This was actually enough confirmation that Mo Li had the system. If he had a system, then he should have his own goal, right? Like a mission.
For some reason, she couldn't stop thinking about what Mo Li said earlier.
He was supposed to die.
But she saved him.
She basically changed his fate.
"Why are you still awake?"
She frowned when she noticed Mo Li standing next to her. He was holding a blanket. Without saying anything, he used it to cover her. Then he sat on the bed.
"I didn't notice you." Did he become… faster?
"After you saved me… something changed." Mo Li held his palm against the light. He closed his hand and then opened it. "I became stronger."
"You said… you are no longer a Lycan?"
Mo Li nodded. In fact, they already have this conversation earlier.
"Do you not really know what you are?"
Again, Mo Li shook his head.
"That… I think I have an idea."
"What— "
"The demon that pierced you. I think…" she stared at him. Since the system didn't tell her anything, she didn't really have a way to confirm it. "I think you have become a dark one."
"Huh?"
"You said that when you woke up, your eyes were red, right? But it quickly disappeared and never reappeared again. You are faster and you… healed faster." He already told her this earlier. To make a point, Mo Li didn't hesitate to cut herself and showed her how fast he heals.
It wasn't something that any Lycan could do.
"So you are saying… I would lose my mind soon?" Dark ones are practically known for losing their minds and just becoming mindless Killers. Surprisingly, Mo Li didn't show any reaction. He just stared at her, unmoving.
She squinted her eyes.
"You already know." That was not a question. She wasn't dumb. She could see Mo Li's reaction too.
"I had suspicions."
She stared at him for a few seconds before she sighed. "I don't think you will become one of them."
"Why?"
"Because I healed you." A hybrid between a Lycan and a dark one. Just thinking about this could easily scare anyone. "And I have the responsibility to protect you now."
