“Miss Torres, why does this thing look like this?”
“Ah, this thing can fly!”
“This man has muscles!”
The police officers who were in the same room with them went from being shocked at first to being suspicious, and finally to being indifferent.
Forget it, there was something wrong with everyone.
The afternoon passed quickly in the atmosphere of a horror movie. Ben was no longer afraid when he saw ordinary ghosts now, he could even start commenting on them.
It was already six o’clock in the afternoon when the two of them left the police station.
The police officer who sent the two of them out was traumatized by Ben’s screams the entire afternoon. There was only peace in his heart now.
“I’m very happy to have your help today. Don’t come again next time.”
Both Lauren and Ben were silent.
“I’m just kidding. This little girl is so cute, so she can come. I’ll prepare candy for you when the time comes. But as for you…” The police officer turned to Ben and said, “You really don’t have to come.”
On the way back, Lauren was sparing no effort to mock Ben.
“Hahaha, Mr. Carson, you’re being despised!”
“Miss Torres, stop laughing. I used to be scared but I’m not scared anymore. If you don’t believe me, look at the one wearing a white dress by the roadside. Is she a ghost? But why do female ghosts like to wear white dresses?”
Lauren looked in the direction Ben had pointed. There were thousands of ghosts and there was nothing to be curious about. But with a glance, Lauren was stunned.
What a familiar-looking ghost. In the surveillance footage that afternoon, Lauren had seen this female ghost several times!
Without alerting anyone, Lauren quietly rolled down the car window and took out a red talisman. She chanted an incantation at the female ghost and the red talisman gradually became transparent.
Lauren rolled up the car window in satisfaction.
When she returned to the Torres residence, Franklin was waiting for her to start dinner.
“Miss Torres is back. It’s time to eat.”
Mr. Hayes happily went to the kitchen to prepare the dishes while humming a song. The maid also brought Lauren some water. All of a sudden, the entire room was revolving around Lauren.
After washing her hands, Lauren came to the dining table. The dishes were already arranged on the table.
“Let’s eat! I have been working all day. I’m starving!”
Lauren sat in her usual seat and waited for everyone to arrive before she started eating.
Franklin sat opposite Lauren and shouted at the curtains, “Quinn, come and eat! Didn’t you say you were hungry?”
Quinn silently poked his head out from behind the curtains.
