In every few meters below the girls’ dormitory, there was a person in a security uniform with a baton.

Lauren shook her head slightly. Even if these people had guns, they wouldn’t be able to see the ghosts.

Besides, ghosts weren’t afraid of physical damage.

They went straight to the storeroom. As soon as they switched on the pendant lights, they saw them flicker.

Lauren guessed that Fiona was hiding inside the pendant lights this time.

However, Lauren did not need to use a charm to summon Fiona out this time. Instead, Fiona came out of the pendant light by herself.

Willpower was indeed a powerful thing. It was very useful to both humans and ghosts.

“You guys are here? It’s really been a long time.”

Fiona did not look scary, but the way she appeared every time gave Bryce a fright.

It was one thing for her to have come out from the rag the other time. But this time, she actually jumped down from the ceiling

Bryce took two steps back.

“I haven’t seen you guys for so long. I thought you guys were intimidated by the talisman.”

Fiona’s eyes shifted to the corner behind the door.

Lauren took a step forward and placed her hands on her hips.

“How can that be? I’ve already found the source of this talisman.”

Fiona raised her eyelids when she heard that.

Her eye makeup was very exquisite. The eyeliner at the end of her eyes was done perfectly. Her eyelashes were also curled, which enlarged her eyes by quite a bit.

Her wavy brown hair was also very smooth and shiny. It was obvious that she took great care of it. Lauren thought, that she must have been very popular with boys when she was alive.

However, why did she feel that something was wrong? What was wrong?

Bryce was in a hurry to go back to class. If he was late, the form teacher would punish them by making them stand outside the classroom and that would be very embarrassing. He hurriedly urged, “Hurry up. Isn’t it just tearing a talisman? Stop wasting time here.”

Bryce recalled what Lauren had said. That talisman would not affect humans, so he squatted down, grabbed the talisman with his hand, and pulled it down.

“Wait!” Lauren shouted.

However, before Lauren could stop him, Bryce had already gently pulled down the red and white talisman.

In an instant, a gust of wind blew out of the storeroom.

In the blink of an eye, Fiona had already disappeared.

Lauren closed her eyes and focused her spiritual consciousness, but she could no longer sense Fiona.

“Looks like she has already left.”

Bryce casually crumpled the talisman paper and threw it on the ground.

“Look, isn’t it done?!”

Lauren frowned and felt uneasy.

Was it done?

What exactly was wrong?

“Alright, you guys can take your time and walk out. I’m going to leave. If the girls see me strolling around in the girls’ dormitory, won’t I lose all my face? I’m going to leave first!”

Bryce picked up his backpack and ran outside. Lauren was still standing in the same spot.

Franklin did not participate much in the entire mission because this was a good opportunity for Lauren and Bryce to get closer to each other.

Now that Bryce had left, Franklin walked up to Lauren.

“Lauren, what’s wrong?”

“Brother, I keep feeling that something is a little strange. I feel that the Fiona that everyone is talking about is very different from the Fiona that we saw.”

“What do you mean?”

“What I heard in the car just now was that Fiona was a girl from a poor family. She even had to borrow money to buy her school uniform. Moreover, the teachers and parents all thought that she was very obedient. However, the Fiona we saw just now was wearing such exquisite makeup. Her hair was even permed and dyed. Was the Fiona from ten years ago really like this?”

Lauren recalled Fiona’s unusual reaction when they mentioned bullying at that time. It was as if she was not a victim of bullying at all.

Franklin asked, “Then…what does this mean?”

Lauren sighed and shook her head.

However, she was certain that the mission was not completed yet.

The fourth and fifth missions were to find the owner of the bloody handprint and find out the truth about Fiona’s incident.

However, the ghost had already been “released” by them. They had also thought that they had found the truth, but the system had never notified them that the mission had been completed. This meant that something had gone astray somewhere.

However…

Lauren looked at the talisman that Bryce had thrown on the ground. They had already released this ghost. It would be very difficult to find this ghost except by coincidence or if Lauren’s cultivation increased significantly.

This was a bit tricky.
