Chapter 253: Time's Up

nLauren Torres pursed her lips.
n
"Why are you trying to attract their attention?
"
n
"Well…
"
nLauren Torres saw the female ghost frown.
n
"I'll tell you next time. Time is up.
"
nWhat did she mean?
nBefore she could react, the ghost flashed and returned to the mop.
nThe mop quivered slightly before it stopped in the corner.
nWhat was going on? Lauren Torres paused for a moment and immediately took out another talisman. However, this time, it was a collective shake.
nLauren Torres sighed. It seemed that Lauren Torres could only summon this ghost at five o'clock sharp.
nWhen Franklin Torres saw Lauren Torres suddenly stop talking and looking at the wall, he knew that the ghost had probably left.
nJust as he was about to ask her, Lauren Torres turned around.
n
"Brother, let's go.
"
nUpon hearing this, Bryce Torres heaved a sigh of relief and urged the two of them to leave.
n
"Quick, quick, quick. Let's go back quickly.
"
nAfter getting into the car, Bryce Torres finally relaxed. He fastened his seatbelt and heaved a sigh of relief.
nAlthough he did not want to talk to Lauren Torres, he still had a lot of questions about what had just happened. He turned around.
n
"Lauren, what were you talking to just now?
"
nAfter leaving that place, Bryce Torres spoke with much more confidence. His tone was now that of an interrogator.
nLauren Torres was in a bad mood because she had not solved the problem. When she was questioned by Bryce Torres in such a tone, she replied in a bad mood,
"I was talking to a ghost.
"
nBryce Torres was speechless. It seemed this answer was not wrong.
n
"No… What I mean is, can you really see a ghost, or are you sick?
"
n
"You're the one who's sick!
"
nLauren Torres rolled her eyes.
nSeeing Lauren Torres's attitude, Bryce Torres was furious. He turned his head to look at Franklin Torres, who was driving.
n
"Brother, look at her!
"
nAs usual, Franklin Torres ignored his younger brother and asked Lauren Torres,
"What happened just now?
"
nLauren Torres lowered her head and answered,
"I managed to summon the female ghost just now, but she disappeared in less than two minutes.
"
n
"Then what should we do now?
"
n
"I don't know… She didn't reveal any information just now. She only said she had imprinted the bloody handprint to attract our attention. But she had disappeared before I could find out the reason. I can only come back another day.
"
nFranklin Torres was in no hurry on the way back, so he didn't run the red light.
nWhen he encountered a red light on the way back, he slowly stopped the car.
nWhile waiting, his index finger tapped the steering wheel rhythmically.
n
"Lauren, open the heavenly eye for me.
" Franklin Torres's voice sounded in the car.
n
"Open your heavenly eye? Why, Brother?
"
nFranklin Torres sighed lightly. Bryce Torres could clearly hear them.
n
"I was standing in the room just now, but I didn't even know what happened.
"
n
"Wait a minute, Brother, what's the heavenly eye that you guys are talking about?
"
nFranklin glanced at him.
"After opening the heavenly eye, you'll be able to see ghosts. Do you want to open it?
"
nBryce Torres widened his eyes and reached out his left hand to touch his brother's forehead. Then, he muttered to himself,
"Brother, you're not sick, but why are you talking nonsense?
"
nFranklin Torres brushed off Bryce Torres's hand.
nHeavenly eye? This was getting more and more mysterious.
nBryce Torres then patted his head and said,
"Now I know what's going on. You guys have ganged up to play a prank on me, right? You want to trick me into thinking that there are ghosts in this world!
"
nIn Bryce Torres's heart, his eldest brother, who had received so many years of compulsory education, would not believe that there was such a thing as ghosts. Let alone opening the heavenly eye.
nHe thought about it carefully.
n
"It must be so. The two of you are just trying to prank me.
"
nLauren Torres shrugged. This… If he wanted to think this way, there was nothing she could do about it.
nOn the other hand, Bryce Torres looked as if he had discovered the truth and was no longer afraid.
n
"Come on, open the heavenly eye for me, too. Let me see if ghosts really exist.
"
nHis blind confidence was completely different from his earlier cowardice in the utility room.
nThe red light had turned green. Franklin Torres stepped on the accelerator, and the black car flew out with a whoosh.
nIt was like a black wind.
nFranklin Torres cleared his throat.
n
"Alright, I'll show you the heavenly eye. What if you see a ghost?
"
nFranklin Torres began to use his usual tactic on his younger brother, which was to provoke him.
nBryce Torres scoffed in disdain as if he did not believe he would lose.
nAnd he said,
"If I see a ghost… I'll play together with you guys every day.
"
n
"Playing with us means you'll catch that female ghost with us?
" Lauren Torres asked.
n
"Sure, no problem.
"
