Five-Year Old Prophet is Pampered by Ten Brothers - Chapter 89
Chapter 89: The Night Walk of a Hundred Ghosts
It was not enough for her to show off in front of the mirror. Lauren wore her new clothes and went downstairs for a stroll. She even kept trying on new clothes, as if she was a model walking on the runway.
Everyone praised her, especially Mr. Hayes and the other servants. Every time Lauren changed into a set of clothes and came downstairs, they began to cheer her on.
“This dress is also very beautiful! Miss Torres really looks good in everything!”
“This small bag looks better when matched with a set of clothes.”
In an instant, the first floor of the Torres residence turned into a fashion show. Quinn watched with a cold face and kept disagreeing with everyone.
“What’s there to look at?”
“The color of this dress is too old-fashioned!”
Franklin just watched quietly from the side. His eyes revealed a doting expression that he did not even realize.
Half an hour later, Lauren finally ended her fashion show.
“I’m going back to my room! Everyone goes to bed early!”
Lauren stood at the staircase and said goodnight to everyone. Auntie Caren, who was standing beside the sofa, sighed.
“Miss Torres, ‘Temptation of Home’ is on tonight. Aren’t you going to watch it with us?”
Quinn was silent.
“Auntie Caren, I won’t watch it today! We’ll watch it tomorrow!”
“Alright, I’ll record it then. We can make up for the rest tomorrow!”
Quinn remained silent.
‘Temptation of Home? That doesn’t sound like a serious drama,’ Quinn thought.
After Lauren returned to her room, she took out a folded piece of leather from her bag.
[System Divine Nine: Host, why are you taking out this map?]
Lauren knew that System Divine Nine must have been lazy again. Otherwise, how could it not know what she was doing?
“System Divine Nine, you’ve been so lazy lately! You didn’t even show up when I was doing my missions!”
System Divine Nine let out an awkward laugh in his head.
[System Divine Nine: I’m still in my developmental stage now. Teenagers in their developmental stage need a lot of rest.]
Lauren gave a disdainful smile. “As expected, everyone finds a grand reason for their laziness.”
This leather map was so big that if it was to be fully unfolded, this room would not be enough to fit it in.
Lauren started to dig through her pocket dimension and took out a small stick. This small stick was the same color as the leather, it was obvious that they were a set.
Lauren took out the small stick and tapped on the folded leather map. Then, she uttered the time and place where she met the female ghost on the road today.
“6:37 pm, Orchard Road.” The cowhide map unfolded itself as if it had a life of its own.
The part that unfolded did not show Orchard Road, but a different area.
The interesting thing about this map was that it was alive. There was a red dot on the map, and wherever the red dot moved, the map would extend to that area.
[System Divine Nine: Host, when did you use a location talisman? Why didn’t I know about It?]
“There are many things that you don’t know,” Lauren sang.
After sitting in the car with Ben for a long time, Lauren had learnt most of the songs in Ben’s car radio.
Lauren and Ben sped up and looked through the surveillance footage in the afternoon. There were a few cases where children were really abducted by bad people.
As for the other children, they were all taken away by various ghosts. Lauren calculated and found that there were more than a hundred ghosts involved in this incident.
“If these ghosts didn’t cause trouble, I would have let them off. Yet they are actually doing such an outrageous thing now! I must catch them all in one fell swoop!”
With so many ghosts acting at the same time, someone must have been behind the scenes. Lauren discovered that these ghosts had been “abducting” children intermittently for the past two years. This meant that these ghosts must have a common den.
Lauren stared at the red dot for an hour. In between, the ghost wandered from the west to the east of the city and back to the west.
It seemed to be a ghost that had been around for some time, and its movement speed was quite fast.
Lauren was so sleepy from staring at it that she laid on the bed. “Why does this ghost keep walking around in the middle of the night! It doesn’t sleep!”
[System Divine Nine: if not, why do you call it the night walk of a hundred ghosts? Ghosts only appear in the middle of the night!]
Lauren rolled around on the bed in a daze.
Wait a minute! The night walk of a hundred ghosts?
Lauren suddenly bounced up from the bed, and she no longer felt sleepy.
That’s right, why did she have to wait until daytime to catch them!
