Chapter 243: Failed

Even the light bulb on top of the head had become disobedient. It flickered again and again, and the frequency had become even higher.

The light bulb looked as if it was going to explode at any moment.

“What’s going on? Is there an earthquake?”

Bryce Torres then shook his head and refuted his guess.

The country they were in was not at the boundary of plate tectonics, so there would not be an earthquake at all.

There had never been any earthquakes for so many years.

The only possible explanation was it was due to Lauren Torres’s actions just now.

Bryce Torres did not believe in talismans or spirits. However, since the Torres family had been holding these ceremonies since they were young, even if he did not believe in them, he still held them in awe.

He did not care what Lauren Torres had done just now. He quickly ran to the door, turned around, and yelled at Lauren Torres and Ben Carson, “Hurry up and leave! Why are you two still standing there?”

Lauren Torres had never encountered such a situation before.

“Hey, why can’t this door open?”

Bryce Torres pressed on the door handle and shook it hard, but he could not open the door no matter how hard he tried.

On the contrary, Lauren Torres did not panic in the face of danger.

”Little Nine, can you sense anything?”

[ System Divine Nine: host, I can sense a very weak trace of Yin Energy. But logically speaking, the Yin Energy of a ghost could not be so weak. ]

Perhaps the effect of the talisman had already worn off. The shaking had slowly stopped, the room had returned to normal, and the light bulb was on again.

Divine Nine’s sensitivity to these things was many times greater than Lauren Torres’s. So if Divine Nine couldn’t sense it, there was nothing much that Lauren Torres could do.

“If that’s the case, we can only go back to do research and see what’s going on.”

There were thousands of different kinds of people, so naturally, ghosts were the same.

Their forms and methods of existence were also different.

Lauren Torres had not been a host long enough, so she had not encountered enough things yet.

Lauren Torres sighed. Her shoulders drooped. She was a little dejected as she had thought it would be a simple task.

Lauren Torres walked to the door with her head drooping.

At this moment, Bryce Torres was calling for help from the police officers outside. He asked them to open the door from the outside.

The people outside thought there was danger inside. So they were also banging on the door with all their might.

At this moment, Lauren Torres was feeling a fit of unknown anger in her heart. She was worried that she had nowhere to vent it.

This was a good opportunity.

“Police Officers, step aside!”

Lauren Torres yelled at the people outside the door.

The police officers outside the door did not know what Lauren Torres was going to do. No matter what this young girl did, she was very mysterious to them. However, she somehow managed to convince them, so they obediently stepped aside.

After that, Bryce Torres watched with his own eyes as Lauren Torres grabbed the handle of the door and forcefully turned it. The door then opened.

Of course, the door did not open in a usual way. Lauren Torres directly broke the lock!

Although the door had opened, everyone inside and outside the room remained silent.

One second.

Two seconds.

Three seconds.

Wasn’t this too much of a fantasy?!

Bryce Torres did not know how he walked out of the school gate and how he got into Ben Carson’s car.

When he returned home and sat on the sofa, Bryce Torres was still confused about what had just happened. Was this just a dream?

He had just had a dream.

He had just woken up.

Yes, that was it.

Bryce Torres was in a state of self-hypnosis.

Bryce Torres was still in a daze even when it was lunchtime.

‘What has happened to Mr. Bryce Torres?’

Mr. Hayes was shocked to see Lauren Torres and Bryce Torres alighting from the same car.

Weren’t the two of them always on bad terms? And they actually came back together?

Could it be that they had patched back?

However, very soon Bryce Torres’s expression refuted the speculation of Mr. Hayes.

He hadn’t said a word since he stepped into the house. He sat on the sofa like a fool.

Lauren Torres shook her head, “I don’t know what happened to him. He… he suddenly became like this.”

Lauren Torres took a bite of the food guiltily.

Being the eldest brother, Franklin Torres accepted the fact easily as expected. However, the other two brothers reacted exactly the same.

So under Bryce Torres’s confused look, Lauren Torres finished all the meat on the table.

After that, Lauren Torres finished watching the animation at two o’clock and took a nap while Bryce Torres continued staring blankly at the side.

When Lauren Torres woke up, Franklin Torres was back.

As it was Sunday, he did not work overtime until around five o’clock as usual. He came back around four o’clock in the afternoon.

The moment Franklin Torres reached home, Bryce Torres was like he had just woken up and mysteriously pulled Franklin Torres aside.

“Brother, let’s talk in your study room.”

When Lauren Torres woke up and opened the door, what she saw was the scene of Bryce Torres dragging Franklin Torres into the study room.

Before closing the door of the study room, Bryce Torres saw Lauren Torres. He quickly closed the door as if Lauren Torres was some kind of ferocious beast.

Even without thinking, Bryce Torres must have been telling Franklin Torres about what happened this morning. But what he didn’t know was that Franklin Torres was already on Lauren Toress’s side.
