Chapter 243: Failed

n
nEven the light bulb on top of the head had become disobedient. It flickered again and again, and the frequency had become even higher.
nThe light bulb looked as if it was going to explode at any moment.
n
"What's going on? Is there an earthquake?
"
nBryce Torres then shook his head and refuted his guess.
nThe country they were in was not at the boundary of plate tectonics, so there would not be an earthquake at all.
nThere had never been any earthquakes for so many years.
nThe only possible explanation was it was due to Lauren Torres's actions just now.
nBryce Torres did not believe in talismans or spirits. However, since the Torres family had been holding these ceremonies since they were young, even if he did not believe in them, he still held them in awe.
nHe did not care what Lauren Torres had done just now. He quickly ran to the door, turned around, and yelled at Lauren Torres and Ben Carson,
"Hurry up and leave! Why are you two still standing there?
"
nLauren Torres had never encountered such a situation before.
n
"Hey, why can't this door open?
"
nBryce Torres pressed on the door handle and shook it hard, but he could not open the door no matter how hard he tried.
nOn the contrary, Lauren Torres did not panic in the face of danger.
n''Little Nine, can you sense anything?
"
n System Divine Nine: host, I can sense a very weak trace of Yin Energy. But logically speaking, the Yin Energy of a ghost could not be so weak.
nPerhaps the effect of the talisman had already worn off. The shaking had slowly stopped, the room had returned to normal, and the light bulb was on again.
nDivine Nine's sensitivity to these things was many times greater than Lauren Torres's. So if Divine Nine couldn't sense it, there was nothing much that Lauren Torres could do.
n
"If that's the case, we can only go back to do research and see what's going on.
"
nThere were thousands of different kinds of people, so naturally, ghosts were the same.
nTheir forms and methods of existence were also different.
nLauren Torres had not been a host long enough, so she had not encountered enough things yet.
nLauren Torres sighed. Her shoulders drooped. She was a little dejected as she had thought it would be a simple task.
nLauren Torres walked to the door with her head drooping.
nAt this moment, Bryce Torres was calling for help from the police officers outside. He asked them to open the door from the outside.
nThe people outside thought there was danger inside. So they were also banging on the door with all their might.
nAt this moment, Lauren Torres was feeling a fit of unknown anger in her heart. She was worried that she had nowhere to vent it.
nThis was a good opportunity.
n
"Police Officers, step aside!
"
nLauren Torres yelled at the people outside the door.
nThe police officers outside the door did not know what Lauren Torres was going to do. No matter what this young girl did, she was very mysterious to them. However, she somehow managed to convince them, so they obediently stepped aside.
nAfter that, Bryce Torres watched with his own eyes as Lauren Torres grabbed the handle of the door and forcefully turned it. The door then opened.
nOf course, the door did not open in a usual way. Lauren Torres directly broke the lock!
nAlthough the door had opened, everyone inside and outside the room remained silent.
nOne second.
nTwo seconds.
nThree seconds.
nWasn't this too much of a fantasy?!
nBryce Torres did not know how he walked out of the school gate and how he got into Ben Carson's car.
nWhen he returned home and sat on the sofa, Bryce Torres was still confused about what had just happened. Was this just a dream?
nHe had just had a dream.
nHe had just woken up.
nYes, that was it.
nBryce Torres was in a state of self-hypnosis.
nBryce Torres was still in a daze even when it was lunchtime.
n'What has happened to Mr. Bryce Torres?'
nMr. Hayes was shocked to see Lauren Torres and Bryce Torres alighting from the same car.
nWeren't the two of them always on bad terms? And they actually came back together?
nCould it be that they had patched back?
nHowever, very soon Bryce Torres's expression refuted the speculation of Mr. Hayes.
nHe hadn't said a word since he stepped into the house. He sat on the sofa like a fool.
nLauren Torres shook her head,
"I don't know what happened to him. He… he suddenly became like this.
"
nLauren Torres took a bite of the food guiltily.
nBeing the eldest brother, Franklin Torres accepted the fact easily as expected. However, the other two brothers reacted exactly the same.
nSo under Bryce Torres's confused look, Lauren Torres finished all the meat on the table.
nAfter that, Lauren Torres finished watching the animation at two o'clock and took a nap while Bryce Torres continued staring blankly at the side.
nWhen Lauren Torres woke up, Franklin Torres was back.
nAs it was Sunday, he did not work overtime until around five o'clock as usual. He came back around four o'clock in the afternoon.
nThe moment Franklin Torres reached home, Bryce Torres was like he had just woken up and mysteriously pulled Franklin Torres aside.
n
"Brother, let's talk in your study room.
"
nWhen Lauren Torres woke up and opened the door, what she saw was the scene of Bryce Torres dragging Franklin Torres into the study room.
nBefore closing the door of the study room, Bryce Torres saw Lauren Torres. He quickly closed the door as if Lauren Torres was some kind of ferocious beast.
nEven without thinking, Bryce Torres must have been telling Franklin Torres about what happened this morning.. But what he didn't know was that Franklin Torres was already on Lauren Toress's side.
n
