Suddenly, the police officer looked at Bryce Torres and pointed at him. “Lauren, isn’t this man your bodyguard? Let him accompany you inside. Although he doesn’t look fleshy, he can at least stand in front of you when you’re in danger.”

Bryce Torres was standing in the corner when he was suddenly called out.

He pointed at his own nose. “Me?”

The police officer nodded. “Yes, I’m talking about you. Aren’t you a bodyguard? Your master is in danger. Aren’t you going to protect her?”

“I’ve said that I’m not a bodyguard…”

Before Bryce Torres could finish his sentence, he was pushed into the utility room by the three police officers. Ben Carson was the last to enter. After entering, he closed the door behind him.

When the door was closed, it made a loud noise as if someone had pushed it from behind.

Bryce Torres was startled by the sound of the door being closed.

Lauren Torres shook her head. It seemed that Bryce Torres’s courage was about the same as Quinn Torres’s.

These two people were quite good at talking, but when it came to actions, they were like cowardly turtles.

To seek a sense of security, Bryce Torres leaned against the wall. Even if there was a ghost, it would not be able to attack him from behind.

He leaned against the wall and asked, “Hey, what are you guys doing here?”

Although he was very scared, he still sounded very steady. He was unlike Quinn Torres, whose voice was trembling even when he was on the second floor of the basement.

Lauren Torres did not answer him. Instead, she was looking carefully around the room.

She groped and found the position of the light and asked Ben Carson to turn it on.

The light had probably not been switched on for a long time. When it was switched on, it was flickering. It felt like the opening scene of a ghost movie, making the room seem even stranger.

Fortunately, the light soon stabilized.

Before taking out the talisman from the pocket dimension, Lauren Torres hesitantly glanced at Bryce Torres.

‘Hmm… Should I let him know?’

Lauren Torres was worried that this would cause great harm to Bryce Torres’s “young” mind, so she asked Ben Carson to cover Bryce Torres’s eyes with his hands.

“Hey, what are you guys trying to do! Mr. Carson, why are you accompanying Lauren to cause trouble here! Hey, why are you covering my eyes?” Bryce Torres asked

Ben Carson replied, “Mr. Torres, master, I’m covering your eyes for your own good. Don’t struggle anymore.”

Although Ben Carson meant good for Bryce Torres, he sounded similar to those of the bad guys in the movies.

“You… you guys aren’t trying to silence me, are you? Is there a need for that? I just threw a tantrum?”

Seeing Bryce Torres’s train of thought was getting more and more off track and he was so imaginative, Lauren Torres sighed.
