The room immediately plunged into darkness.

After waiting for quite some time, Lauren heard the sound of the basement door being closed.

At the same time, the footsteps of the two men also disappeared.

Lauren’s spiritual consciousness could track that the two men had already gone far away. She then heaved a sigh of relief.

She could finally do what she wanted.

First, Lauren took out a lighter-like object from her pocket dimension. The moment she pressed it, the light that came out of it was like an electric light, immediately lighting up the room.

There was no furniture in the room. Lauren looked around and saw that her cage was the only thing there.

Then, Lauren took out a master key.

This key could unlock all the locks in the world. However, the system had added some additional conditions to this key.

The system would automatically detect the Host’s purpose and the nature of the door.

If Lauren’s purpose in opening the lock was good, then this master key would be useful.

If Lauren’s purpose in opening the lock was selfish and was not helpful to the mission, then this key would not be effective.

This had always been the system’s purpose. They could help the Host complete the mission, but they would not allow the Host to disrupt the normal order of the mortal world.

Moreover, if the system detected that the Host tried to use the master key to satisfy her own selfish desires, then the Host would be punished.

Lauren inserted the master key into the lock, and the lock on the cage was easily opened.

Lauren pushed open the cage door with a creak and crawled out.

“I can finally stand up.” Lauren stretched her body comfortably, before cracking her joints.

After all the uncomfortable feelings in her body were gone, Lauren continued with her next step.

The door to the next room was also locked by the two men. Using the master key, Lauren easily opened the door.

Every place that Lauren went to, the lights would immediately turn on.

She took a look around the basement.

The basement was made up of a corridor and a few rooms. Lauren was in a room on the right side of the corridor.
