While Ruby was taking a shower, Lauren was alone in her room. She quickly gathered her breath and concentrated her spiritual consciousness to sense the existence of this weak evil aura.

System Divine Nine also gave her a helping hand. The two of them joined forces.

Soon, Lauren sensed which direction the aura came from. It did not come from Lauren's room.

She opened the door, closed her eyes, and slowly followed the aura.

The closer she got, the stronger the aura became.

"Lauren, what are you doing?

"

Lauren was suddenly taken aback by Ruby's shout. She opened her eyes and the spiritual consciousness that she had just gathered dispersed.

Lauren realized that she was already standing in front of the bathroom door. Ruby had opened the bathroom door, and her hair was still dripping.

Ruby's clothes were messy, as if she had worn them in a hurry.

There was still steam in the bathroom.

Lauren turned her head, and then looked into the bathroom.

"Ruby, did anything strange happen while you were taking a shower?

"

"Strange things? No?

"

"Well...

"

Lauren scratched her head and looked at the bathroom again before she left. She looked reluctant to part.

'That's weird, Little Nine. Can you still sense that aura?'

System Divine Nine: Yes, I can, but it's even weaker. Maybe it's just a little ghost.

Lauren nodded.

A little ghost would soon be unable to withstand the positive energy of the Torres family and would run away on its own.

After returning to her room, Lauren pulled Ruby to read a comic book on her bed. It had just been delivered to her today. The drawings in the comic books in it were all very cute, and every comic book shared a profound life experience. Lauren loved reading them.

Lauren was reading when she looked up to find Ruby holding the book in a daze.

"Ruby, sometimes I think you don't look like a child at all. You look like an adult. Adults like to be in a daze. No, it shouldn't be called a daze. According to my second brother, the adults are thinking in a daze. So, what are you thinking?

"

"Oh, I...I was just thinking about my mom.

"

"Your mother? Didn't she beat you? Why do you miss her?

"

"She beat me. But sometimes she was good to me.

"

After a while, Ruby suddenly overturned her previous words.

"No, but she's still a bad person.

"

Just as Ruby said this, Lauren felt that the aura in the room had changed again. The evil aura seemed to have become more obvious, and then it faded away in an instant.

What was going on here?

Lauren had never encountered such a thing before, she deeply felt that now things were really getting more and more mysterious.

What a world out there!

"But why did your mother beat you? I thought your mother loves you very much.

"

Ruby said,

"She really loves her daughter.

"

Lauren thought she had misheard.

"Huh? What did you say? What do you mean when you say she really loves her daughter?

"

"It's fine,

" said Ruby.

"Let's not talk about her anymore, okay?

"

"Alright,

" replied Lauren with a nod.

"Let's continue reading the comic then!

"

However, Lauren was too tired. Although she had been sleeping for half the day, she had exhausted herself by staying up until five in the morning yesterday. As a result, she fell asleep while reading the comic.

Ruby looked at Lauren's sleeping face for a while, then pulled the comic book out of her hand and covered her with the quilt.

There was a knock on the door. Ruby got off the bed and opened the door.

It was Franklin who stood at the door. He looked into the room and saw that Lauren was already lying on the bed with her eyes closed.

"Lauren is asleep?

"

Ruby nodded.

"Yes, she fell asleep while reading just now.

"

"Alright, nothing else. I just cut some fruit and wanted to ask if you guys would like to eat it.

"

Ruby was a cautious-looking little girl. Franklin thought that she would definitely reject him.

He turned around and was about to leave when Ruby suddenly said,

"I want to eat it.

"

Although Franklin did not expect this outcome, he had already said it, so he nodded.

"Then I'll get someone to bring it up to you.

"

Ruby shook her head and closed the door.

"No need to. Since Lauren is sleeping and I don't want to disturb her, I'll go downstairs and eat.

"

"Okay.

"

Ruby walked in front while Franklin walked behind.

Ruby's hair was combed into a high ponytail, swaying as she walked.
