Chapter 91 - Ghost-Hunting Squad
n
n
n
"What?
"
n
"Going out to catch ghosts!
"
n
"These are just little ghosts wandering in the human world. They're not dangerous at all. I have prepared everything, so there won't be any danger!
" Lauren hurriedly explained. She almost raised her hand to swear.
n
"No, it's too dangerous.
"
nEven though he knew that Lauren was different from ordinary people and he had seen her abilities, Franklin was still worried to let Lauren come into contact with these things.
n
"Franklin, this operation is very important! If we can catch these ghosts, then Lily might be found. And those children who have gone missing in the past two years might also be found!
"
n
"I have been working hard for this mission for almost half a month, so I can't just give up halfway. That's not my style.
"
nIn order to prove that she was indeed ready, Lauren even took out a stack of talismans that she had prepared earlier from her pocket dimension. It was filled to the brim, and Lauren could not even hold it with one hand.
n
"Look I am indeed ready. Just let me go!
"
nFranklin looked at Lauren's eager eyes and his heart softened.
"You can go...
"
n
"Thank you, Franklin!
" Lauren cheered happily.
n
"But you have to bring me along.
"
n
"Huh?
"
n
"I won't be at ease without you.
"
n
"But...
"
nBen was already downstairs, as Lauren could see the car lights flashing.
nShe and Ben had agreed on a secret signal. When the car lights flashed three times consecutively, it would mean that Ben had arrived.
n
"No buts. If you want to go, you have to bring me along.
"
nLauren did not have time to hesitate and could only agree.
nThere was no time for Franklin to change his clothes, so he had no choice but to follow behind Lauren in his pajamas and slippers.
nThe two of them had just reached the stairs on the second floor when a flash of light shone on them brightly.
n
"What are you two doing?
"
nFranklin and Lauren raised their heads and saw Quinn standing on the stairs on the third floor with the flashlight on his phone.
nIt was as if he was saying,
"Look, I caught the thief.
"
nQuinn walked down the stairs. He was wearing the same type of pajamas as Franklin. He was in blue and Franklin was in black.
nMr. Hayes had bought these pajamas for them. He said that they would make the family look more in style.
n
"It's so late at night. Where are you two going?
"
nFranklin, who had always been eloquent, choked up. What should he say? They were going to catch a ghost? Only a ghost would believe that!
nQuinn looked at their hesitant expressions and said angrily,
"Are you two going to have supper behind my back?!
"
n
"I'm going too! I haven't eaten my fill tonight! You've given all the meat to a certain someone to eat!
"
nLauren rolled her eyes under the flashlight. 'A certain someone? He's so childish,' Lauren thought.
n
"We're not going for supper.
"
nThe door downstairs opened and then closed, and the sound of footsteps could be heard.
nThe three of them looked downstairs, and Ben's head appeared at the top of the stairs.
n
"Miss Torres, I've been waiting for a few minutes. Are you ready?
"
n
"Why...why are there so many people?
" Did Miss Torres form a ghost-hunting squad?
nQuinn became angrier when he saw Ben appear.
n
"Even Ben is invited for supper. I can't believe you guys left me behind!
"
nThus, two more people joined in the fun and formed the ghost-hunting squad.
nLauren sat in the front passenger seat while the two people in black and blue plaid pajamas sat in the back seat! Who wouldn't say that this combination was strange?!
nIf people knew that they were the young masters and young lady of the Torres family, they would probably be on the city's forum for a few days.
n
"Miss Torres, where are we going?
" Ben had already started driving, but only then did he realize that he did not know where their destination was.
nLauren took out her leather map from her pocket dimension, and just like before, she took out a small stick.
nSoon, the red dot reappeared on the map.
nBen had been following Lauren for a long time. Though he would still be surprised when he saw Lauren take out these strange things, his reaction was no longer so intense.
nQuinn opened his mouth wide in the back seat, as it was his first time witnessing this.
n
"This...
" Quinn pointed at Lauren.
n
"She's not a muggle?
"
nLauren turned around in confusion. What muggle?
nFranklin casually removed Quinn's hand.
"It's okay, don't worry about him.
"
nQuinn retracted his hand, but he could not retract the shock in his eyes.
n
"Franklin, she knows magic!
"
