Chapter 311: Palm

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Lauren did not know what to say to comfort Greta, but she also knew that Greta did not need her comfort. She just needed to be a quiet listener.

Following that, Greta talked about how she spent time with Rene and Samuel.

From Greta’s description, Lauren could visualize what Rene and Samuel would be like if they were still alive.

Both of them were very bright and cheerful, warm and lively. If they could grow up successfully, they would have become people who would contribute a lot to society, and they could also have started their own families.

Unfortunately, all of that could only exist in Greta’s imagination.

Greta shared everything about them that left a deep impression on her, starting from the moment they were born. Lauren listened attentively and occasionally echoed what she said.

They were like two people who had met in a public square. Although they were strangers, they were chatting happily.

During this process, Lauren could see that Greta’s skin was becoming transparent bit by bit.

The red dress was undergoing the same change. Its color slowly began to dim.

Finally, Greta related to the last year of Samuel and Rene’s lives. Her eyes were filled with nostalgia. Just then, a gust of wind blew past the window and her hair was blown up.

Although at the moment her hair looked comical, with one side long and the other side short, Lauren could only see the infinite grief and nostalgia of a mother who had lost her children.

After saying that, Greta raised her hand and took a look at her hand, turning it over and over again.

Then, she turned around and looked at Lauren.

The sunlight shone in from behind her, but the almost transparent Greta could not block the sunlight.

The sunlight passed through her body and shone into the room, illuminating tiny motes of dust in the air.

“I’m going to disappear, am I right?”

Greta’s hands were very long and slender, which made them very suitable for playing the piano.

However, she already had the pleasure of hearing Greta play the piano.

It was the last monologue of a pianist, and also the last wail of a mother.

Lauren nodded and spoke the cruel truth. “Yes, you will disappear very soon.”

Greta did not seem to be afraid at all. Instead, she heaved a sigh of relief, raised her head, and said, “Alright, this is finally over. To be honest, I’m quite happy. I have to thank you for this period of time. Even though I was in Ruby’s body previously, I never wanted to harm you.”

“I know. I know that you have no evil intentions towards others. It’s just that you were momentarily blinded by hatred,” said Lauren.

“Actually, there are many things in this world that are worth pursuing. Even if…your son and daughter passed away back then, you can still enjoy what this world has to offer in their stead.”

“There are many beautiful things in this world. The sun will always continue to shine.”

Greta smiled.

“But I’ve already taken root in the shadows. In any case, I’ve been curious. Why is a little girl like you doing such a thing?”

Could Greta be referring to hunting ghosts?

Lauren looked at the relieved smile on Greta’s face and said, “Because…even though this world is terrible, I have to protect the beautiful things in it, like… the smile on your face right now.”

Greta was stunned for a moment.

Lauren could see that her body was becoming transparent, starting from her feet.

She was slowly disappearing.

However, Greta was slowly walking toward her. She reached out her hand to Lauren.

Lauren looked at her hand. Her hand was stained with blood. However, what Greta wanted to show her was not the blood, but the thing in her palm.

Lauren stared blankly at it. Before she could react, Greta had already disappeared. She had completely disappeared from her room. It was as if she had never been to this world.

Lauren sighed and closed her eyes to mourn Greta’s disappearance.

When she opened her eyes, the system’s voice sounded in her head.

[Congratulations, Host. Hidden mission 7 has been completed. The reward, mute pill, has been distributed. Please check.]

In the past, Lauren was very happy to receive the reward because the ghosts she had caught before were all evil ghosts. She could capture them without feeling emotional and throw them into hell.

However, Lauren had some feelings for Greta, with whom she had been together for a month, especially after she learned about the tragic incidents that happened to Greta.
