Lauren frowned as she flipped through the information on the ten children. She even went into her magic library to flip through the books when she saw certain places.
System Divine Nine, who was lying comfortably in his spiritual world, was woken up when he saw Lauren busy moving in and out.
[System Divine Nine: Host, why are you walking around? You’re disturbing my sleep!]
“You’re just a system, you don’t have to sleep!”
[System Divine Nine: I don’t care! I just want to sleep! It’s so comfortable lying down.]
Lauren didn’t have time to argue with System Divine Nine right now. She had discovered something strange.
“System Divine Nine, look at these teenagers who went missing. Their case files all show that they are sick.”
[System Divine Nine: Sick? What kind of illness?]
.
“These are all professional medical terms. I just went into the library to check some. Although these teenagers have different illnesses, they all have the same symptom, which is dementia.”
[System Divine Nine: Dementia?]
“Yes, their intelligence doesn’t grow with age, but stays at a certain period of their childhood. For example, this 14-year-old boy, when he went missing, his intelligence was only that of a three-year-old.”
“As for the other people, their intelligence is only four or five years old on average.”
[System Divine Nine: Then this explains the problem you just raised. Logically speaking, older children should be able to find their way home on their own and wouldn’t go missing for no reason.]
Lauren nodded. If these missing teenagers were all mentally handicapped, then it was understandable that they got lost.
Lauren looked at the thick pile of documents and thought to herself, ‘Could these missing cases really be related to Lily’s case?’
As she thought about it, she lay on the bed and fell asleep.

It was only past seven o’clock, but Franklin and Quinn were already sitting in the living room eating breakfast.
