nThe teacher on duty nodded. She felt that Ruby Cromwell really knew how to care for herself. She didn't cry or make a fuss even though someone had spilled soup all over her. If it were any other child, they would have cried and looked for their mothers.

nLauren Torres helped Ruby Cromwell take another bowl of soup and put it at their seats.

nAs she was also worried that Ruby Cromwell didn't have any clothes to change, she took out a spare set of clothes from her school bag.

nMr. Hayes stuffed this into her school bag. He said that he was afraid that Lauren Torres would catch a cold if she did not change after sweating. Thus he specially brought her a spare set of clothes. Now it came in handy.

nLauren Torres ran to the girl's bathroom with a set of clothes printed with pink piglets. She saw that Ruby Cromwell was taking off her jacket and washing it in the sink.

nLauren Torres hurriedly ran to Ruby Cromwell's side. When Ruby Cromwell heard the footsteps, she seemed to be startled and stepped backward.

n

"Ruby Cromwell, this is a new set of clothes I brought from home. You can change into it. Don't catch a cold.

"

nRuby Cromwell's clothes were also a little wet.

nShe took over the clothes from Lauren Torres, but she seemed to be hiding something.

nLauren Torres felt that it was a little strange. When she handed over her clothes, she noticed that there were some strange wounds on Ruby Cromwell's arm. They were blue-black.

nThe wounds were not many but three or four of them. But they were very eye-catching on the child's delicate skin.

n

"Ruby, what happened to your hand?

"

nLauren Torres took a step forward and wanted to take a closer look at Ruby Cromwell's hand. However, Ruby Cromwell took a step back and ignored the clothes in the sink.

n

"I'm fine.

"

nRuby Cromwell then ran away.

nBack in class, Ruby Cromwell was sitting in the corner the whole time. She crossed and put her hands under the desk as if she didn't want anyone to see her wounds.

nLauren Torres didn't say anything, but she asked Ruby Cromwell again during class break. Ruby Cromwell shook her head and said,

"It's nothing. I just accidentally had a bump at home.

"

n

"So you didn't come to class yesterday because of this?

"

nRuby Cromwell nodded.

n'Alright, if this is the case…' Lauren Torres did not continue asking.

nIt was normal for children to have bumps though it was very difficult to have a bump on the arms.

nAfter school, Lauren Torres went home with Ben Carson. She still had not figured out how to complete the mission.

nEvery time, the female ghost would only come out for a short while.

nSigh…

nSomething was not right.

nLauren Torres suddenly found a blind spot.

nWasn't the purpose of Mission 4 to find the owner of the bloody handprint? She had already found it. The bloody handprint was done by the female ghost. If that was the case, shouldn't the mission have already been completed?

nIn the car on the way back, Lauren Torres pulled out Divine Nine.

n

"Little Nine, did your system make a mistake? Look, I've already found that female ghost. Why haven't I completed the mission yet?

"

nSystem Divine Nine: It's impossible. Our system has never made a mistake. Since it says that you haven't completed the mission, it means that you haven't completed the mission.

nBut…

nWas the female ghost yesterday lying?

nBut there was no need for her to lie and take the blame for this incident.

nLauren Torres was confused.

nForget it. Since that was the case, she would dig deep into this female ghost and find out what exactly had happened to her.

nAfter returning home, Lauren Torres did her homework in the living room for a while. Then, Franklin Torres came back with a piece of news.

nThe police had already matched the DNA of the bloody handprint. The blood belonged to a girl who had passed away at Thomas Johnson High School 10 years ago.

nLauren Torres's guess was right. This girl had passed away at Thomas Johnson High Schoo.

n

"Do you have any more information about her?

"

nFranklin Torres shook his head.

n

"There was an incident of data leakage at the police station five years ago. All the information and the backup on the computer were missing. Therefore, all the information about the case before that was gone. There wasn't even a photo left.

"

n

"I got this information from the hospital's database.

"

nLauren Torres nodded. The photo did not matter. It was not that she had never seen her before.

n

"Do they still remember how this girl died?

"

n

"The previous batch of police officers had already retired. These police officers were all newly recruited in recent years, so they have no impression of this case.

"

n

"I see.

"

nThe corners of Lauren Torres's mouth drooped.

nIt seemed like she still had to personally ask that female ghost.

nSo, in the wee hours of the morning, Lauren Torres pulled Franklin Torres and Bryce Torres along to 'revisit the old place'.
