Chapter 254: Extras
Bryce Torres agreed with it lightheartedly. He did not have the slightest idea what he would see next.
Opening the heavenly eye was an easy process. Lauren Torres asked Bryce Torres to close his eyes. Then, she placed her palm on his eyelids and chanted an incantation.
Bryce Torres felt his eyelids heat up and Lauren Tores’s small hand moved away.
Bryce Torres then opened his eyes.
“That’s it?”
Lauren Torres nodded. “That’s it!”
Franklin Torres found a parking spot and parked the car first. After Lauren Torres opened the heavenly eye for him, they set off again.
It was still early, so they had to make a trip back to the Torres Mansion. Otherwise, Lauren Torres would have to wait for a few hours at the kindergarten.
After opening his heavenly eye, Bryce Torres blinked his eyes.
“You’re lying, right? I don’t feel any change.”
Then, he looked out of the window. It was past five in the morning, and the streets were still very dark. There was only a faint light on the roadside.
Bryce Torres asked curiously, “Brother, these people are all so hardworking. They’re walking around here so early in the morning. What are they doing?”
Franklin Torres glanced at Bryce Torres, looked out of the window, and then looked at Bryce Torres again. He was hesitating but then he said, “Those are not people.”
“Brother, are you kidding me? Those aren’t people, then what can those be?”
Bryce Torres shut his mouth right after he said that. His looked horroried and then relieved.
“You guys have made this prank so real? You even found so many extras to act and made them walk around in the wee hours of the morning. Isn’t it hard? You have to pay more for the hard work.”
Lauren Torres shook her head. This person really knew how to deceive himself.
“Did you see their shadows?”
After being reminded by Lauren Torres, Bryce Torres looked outside again.
There were street lights outside. So if these people were humans, there would definitely be shadows. However, they did not have any shadows.
Moreover, upon closer look, they were not even walking.
The long hems of their skirts were directly dragging on the ground. They moved without any undulation as if they were floating.
Bryce Torres widened his eyes and began to realize that something was not right.
However, in the next second, something that made him even more panicked happened. A ghost flew straight over from the sidewalk like a bat and stuck to the window of the car next to Bryce Torres.
Bryce Torres’s scream instantly echoed throughout the entire car. Lauren Torres almost turned deaf.
The ghost looked extremely terrifying. Its mouth was wide open, and its teeth were long and sharp. Its eyes were also very big. At first glance, it looked like a clown.
Franklin Torres, even such a composed man, dodged to the side when he saw the ghost.
The appearance of this ghost was really frightening.
Lauren Torres quickly took out a talisman from her pocket dimension and stuck it on the window.
The ghost dodged quickly.
Lauren Torres heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this ghost was not a malicious spirit.
After a long while, Bryce Torres regained his ability to speak.
“What… What was that just now?”
There was still a lingering fear in his voice.
“That was a ghost!”
“It… It was a real ghost?”
At this moment, Bryce Torres no longer cared if he was on bad terms with Lauren Torres.
“Of course it was. We’re not that lame to spend money to prank you.”
Bryce Torres pointed at Lauren Torres and asked, “Then you… you know how to exorcise ghosts?”
Lauren Torres, “Eldest Brother, your brother is stuttering!”
“Of course. Lauren Torres has been a professional exorcist for 100 years, but she has never received a bad review!”
She gave herself a thumbs up.
Then, Bryce Torres unbuckled his seatbelt and went straight to the back seat to sit next to Lauren Torres.
Both Franklin Torres and Lauren Torres were speechless.
“What are you doing?” The two of them asked at the same time.
“What else can I do? I’m protecting myself. I’m so handsome, and my blood tastes so good. What if the ghost comes looking for me? If I sit next to her, she’ll be able to protect me faster.”
Lauren Torres thought to herself, ‘That doesn’t seem unreasonable.’
If the ghost just now was malicious, Lauren Torres’s talisman actually would not affect it.
Therefore, the closer he was to her, the safer he was.
Perhaps it was because Bryce Torres had a backing now, he was much quieter on the second half of the journey. He even looked out of the window with interest.
“Are they really ghosts? Why do they look exactly like humans?”
“It’s because they turned from humans into ghosts.”
“Then why did that ghost look so scary?”
“That ghost might have been affected by the evil energy and gone mad.”
“How do you know about all these things?”
“I just know.”
“Where did you learn it from?”
“Help! You talked so much!”
