It was late at night, and they would definitely gather together to absorb the negative energy of heaven and earth. This was the best time to capture them all in one fell swoop!
Lauren hurriedly jumped out of bed and sat in front of her desk. On the desk was a neat row of blank yellow talisman papers.
She did not know how many ghosts she would meet, so it was better to prepare more talisman papers. She dipped her finger into the water and quickly wrote and drew on the talismans.
“Hey, this drawing is pretty good. It must be very effective.”
“Immobilizing talisman, soul-sucking talisman, location talisman.”
These few types of talismans should be enough to deal with these little ghosts! Lauren stored these talismans in her pocket dimension and went downstairs.
Everyone had already returned to their rooms. There was only one light on the first floor. Fortunately, Lauren had good eyesight, and she bypassed the furniture and walked to the phone, ready to call Ben.
Should she get a cell phone in the future?
The phone rang a few times and Ben’s sleepy voice could be heard.
After Wendy was reincarnated, Ben rejected Lauren’s offer to stay with the Torres family. He preferred to stay at his old house.
That house had many beautiful memories of him and Wendy for so many years. Now that he had lost Wendy, he could only hold on to his memories.
“Mr. Hayes?” Ben subconsciously assumed that the calls from the Torres family were usually from Mr. Hayes.
“Mr. Carson, it’s Lauren!”
“Miss Torres, what’s wrong?” Ben got up from the bed and rubbed his eyes.
“Mr. Carson, can you come and pick me up now?”
“Now? It’s 10:45 pm. Where else are we going? Miss Torres, I only work for 8 hours.”
The first floor was silent and Lauren deliberately lowered her voice. “We’re going to catch a ghost! Mr. Carson, tonight...I will pay you 10 times your salary!”
‘When it comes to money, I won’t be sleepy,’ Ben thought. He immediately agreed and said that he would be there in 15 minutes.
It was just a ghost, he had seen it many times. He was now a person who had seen the world.
If he had known what he was about to face, he would not agree even if he was to be paid a hundred times his salary. Unfortunately, there was no ‘if’.
Lauren put on her clothes and sat on the sofa while waiting for Ben in the living room. From time to time, there were some soft sounds coming from the second floor. It was likely that Franklin was still working overtime in the study.
Lauren thought about it on the sofa for a long time. She still felt that she should inform Franklin so that he would not worry.
What if he went into the room to tuck her in like last time? Thus, Lauren returned to the second floor.
As expected, light was shining through the gap of Franklin’s study room door, and Lauren could hear Franklin speaking German from inside. He was probably in a meeting.
Lauren waited for a while. When the sound from inside stopped, she knocked on the door. The knocking sound was exceptionally clear in the night.
The sound of footsteps came from the study room. It approached from afar, and then the heavy wooden door of the study room was opened.
Franklin was holding his phone in one hand while holding the doorknob in the other. He was wearing soft and comfortable plaid pajamas.
“What’s wrong? Why aren’t you sleeping at this time of the night?”
After Lauren entered the study room, Franklin noticed that she was neatly dressed, and she was also carrying the small pink bag that she had with her at all times.
“Are you going out at this time of the night?” Franklin frowned.
If Lauren had said that she wanted to go out to catch ghosts, Franklin would definitely not let her go out!
There was no other way! She had to be a bad child for once! “I want to go out...I want to eat supper!”
“We can make supper, there’s no need to go out to eat.”
“But...I want to go for a ride! It’s so comfortable to go for a ride at night! With Mr. Carson accompanying me, it’s fine!”
Lauren, who was lying, subconsciously lowered her head and avoided Franklin’s gaze.
Lauren, who had never cared about authority, was actually a little nervous when she faced Franklin at this moment. She felt like a kid who did not do her homework, wanted to go out and play, and got caught by her parents.
Lauren’s round eyes rolled around, and she decided to act coquettishly again! She was so cute. No one would be able to resist her cuteness!
So, she raised her head and was about to reveal her cutest smile when she saw Franklin looking at her with an expressionless face.
“Don’t think of acting coquettishly, it’s useless. It’s almost twelve o’clock. No matter how good the security here is, you shouldn’t go out at such a young age.”
Seeing that Franklin was so stubborn and Ben should be arriving soon, Lauren had no choice but to tell him her real purpose of going out.
“Well, I am actually going out to catch ghosts....” As Lauren said this, her voice became softer and softer, as though she was afraid that Franklin would hear her clearly.
