“That’s enough. It’s just a few roses. I don’t know what you’r afraid of. There are already so many hosts and systems on Earth. What’s there to be afraid of? Let’s hurry up and leave. I don’t want to be trapped in here any longer!” Noah said.
Lauren had no other information at the moment, so everyone just got ready to leave.
“Lauren, don’t be afraid. If something like this happens in the future, feel free to contact us. We will do our best to help you,” one of the hosts said.
Lauren nodded her head to express her gratitude to everyone. Then, just like how they had arrived, they silently disappeared from her spiritual consciousness.
Lauren’s mind was once again at peace. Only the sound of Divine Nine’s tail gently brushing against the table could be heard.
Lauren sat down on the sofa in her spiritual consciousness. She had busied herself for the whole afternoon, but now she could finally have a good rest.
Now, both her physical body and her spiritual consciousness could rest.
“Divine Nine, do you know about the incident David mentioned that happened more than ten years ago?”
System Divine Nine replied, “I don’t know. Actually, I’m only five years old in terms of real-world time. This matter is probably only known to my eldest brother, second sister, and the two oldest hosts. The later hosts and systems, including us, are not aware of it.”
“Oh…”
However, she still found the recent events very strange. Perhaps it was like what David had said: this was a provocation from some organization or big shot hidden in the dark.
“Let’s get out of the car, Lauren.”
The next moment, Lauren felt like her body was lifted into the air.
She casually plucked at the System Divine Nine’s white fur and jumped off the sofa.
“Divine Nine, I’m heading off!”
Then, she quickly crawled out of her spiritual consciousness. She realized that she was being carried by Franklin into the Torres mansion.
Lauren opened her eyes and said, “Franklin! I’m awake!”
“Did I wake you up?”
“No, I was just pretending to sleep just now. I just wanted you to hug me!” she said coquettishly.
Upon hearing Lauren’s teasing words, Franklin smiled and tightened his grip on her arm.
“Okay, okay, okay. I’ll hug you.”
Lauren felt very safe in Franklin’s arms.
She had not enjoyed this happiness for long before Franklin’s next sentence took it away from her.
“Oh right, Lauren, we need to pack up tonight. We’re going to the temple this weekend to celebrate Lent with Grandma.”
“Oh… Lent? Does that mean there’ll be no meat to eat?”
Franklin could not help but laugh. “Yes, Lent means that you can only eat vegetarian food. It’s to clear away the evil creatures in your body. Grandma has been eating vegetarian food and chanting prayers all year round. She feels that eating meat would take the fear and dread of these animals when they
were killed in life into her body.”
Franklin’s legs were long and his steps were big. He quickly walked to the living room and placed Lauren on the sofa.
Her calves were dangling in the air as she kicked and stomped. “Only people who don’t do bad things will not be guilty.”
She had to eat two more pieces of meat tonight because she wouldn’t be able to eat meat at the temple.
It was quiet in the living room.
“Where’s Mr. Hayes?”
Mr. Hayes would usually prepare a delicious meal for Lauren and come to greet her as soon as she arrived home. Why wasn’t he here today?
Franklin poured two glasses of water and handed one to Lauren.
“Mr. Hayes went to the temple early. He always goes there early every year.”
“Oh…”
suddenly, the phone in the Torres mansion rang.
It was right next to Lauren, so she picked it up immediately.
Speak of the devil. It was actually Mr. Hayes.
“Mtr. Hayes! I missed you so much!”
“Miss Lauren, I was just looking for you.”
“Looking for me? Why are you looking for me?”
“Thave a card with a phone number written on it that I didn’t bring over. I need that phone number now. It’s in the drawer in my room. Miss Lauren, can you help me get it and give me the phone number?”
“Oh, Tl go right now. Mr. Hayes, don’t hang up!”
Then, Lauren ran to Mr. Hayes’ room with the phone in her hand.
‘There were very few things in Mr. Hayes’ room, and he always wore the same clothes. It was hard to imagine that Mr. Hayes had been living here for more than 20 years.
Lauren’s room was probably messier than Mr. Hayes’ room after she spent half an hour in it.
She found the drawer under Mr. Hayes’ guidance, opened it, and quickly saw the phone number he needed.
After she gave Mr. Hayes the phone number, she was about to close the drawer when she suddenly saw something and was stunned for a moment..
