When Fiona said it, her red mouth opened and closed as if she was a snake sticking its tongue out.

“That’s easy. I can do It.”

As Bryce spoke, he reached out his hand and tried to pull the paper off.

Lauren stopped him at once.

“Wait a moment. We don’t even know what the paper is. Don’t touch it rashly. I need to go back and study it,” explained Lauren.

Fiona looked down at Lauren. “Go. I’ve already been locked in here for 10 years anyway. I don’t care to stay for a few more days.”

After that, Fiona returned to the desk.

On the way back, Bryce asked Lauren, “Isn’t it only a piece of paper? What harm will it do? I can take it off with a stick just in case.”

Lauren shook her head as if she was a master, “You really don’t know how dangerous this world is. Since the talisman can trap a ghost in a room for 10 years, its owner should be quite strong. Besides, the owner of the talisman must have done it out of a great desire to imprison the ghost. Think about how much power that talisman may contain. If you touch the paper without any preparation, it might hurt you.”

Bryce was still dismissive.

“Tsk. It’s just a piece of paper. What can it do to me? Am I going to get a little shock?” demanded Bryce.

“Hmm. I read something like this in a book before. There was a person who found a talisman in a cave. He touched the talisman and got possessed by a ghost,” replied Lauren.

“Possessed by a Ghost? I can’t believe this is real! I thought it would only happen in movies,” said Bryce.

“Of course it is real. And vulnerable people are more likely to be possessed by a ghost,” answered Lauren.

Bryce patted his chest and looked relieved. “Well, that’s good. I’m a person with strong willpower.”

“If you say so,” Lauren jeered.

It was Friday today, but Ruby was still absent from class. Carina told the students that Ruby stayed at home to rest because she wasn’t feeling well.

For the past few days, Lauren had been a little listless in the kindergarten, not only because Ruby wasn’t around but also because Lauren had to go to see the female ghost every day. In order to do that, Lauren needed to get up in the early hours, meaning that she couldn’t get enough sleep.

This day, Lauren packed up all the things handed out by the teacher and brought them to Ruby’s ward as usual.

Sometimes, Carina had no time to visit Ruby. However, Lauren would go to see Ruby every day.

When Lauren arrived, Ruby wasn’t in the ward. A nurse told Lauren that Ruby was taken to undergo a physical examination. Hence, Lauren chose to wait in the room.
