“Hey, why is it so strange? Why are there a few butterflies flying here? Where did they come from?”

As usual, Irene was wearing a strong perfume, so the butterflies were all moving closer to her.

Irene waved her hand and pushed the butterflies to the side.

They did not take the butterflies to heart, as they just assumed that they had accidentally let them in when the door was opened.

Lauren used her mind to tell the butterflies to run as far away as possible so that they would not be caught.

One by one, the butterflies flew out of the room.

After a night of torment, Lauren’s hair was a little messy. She lowered her head again.

A normal person would not be able to see Lauren’s face clearly from a standing position.

The master only took a glance at her.

She was just a child. To him, she was no different from the others.

“The aura on this little girl is indeed very good. I’m sure it won’t be cheap to buy her.”

“Yes. I spent two million on her.”

“Tomorrow morning at 10 am is a good time. Bring her there on time. I’ll go there directly.”

“Yes, Master.”

After saying that, the two of them left. Lauren kept her head down the entire time.

Lauren was relieved that the two of them did not “harass” her.

The people in the basement quickly left. Lauren was the only one who was awake.

Then, she took out a notebook and wrote down what she had seen and heard.

Lauren knew that this basement would not be so easy to find. Just like the basement floor of Golden Star Agency, they would definitely do something to the basement, so as to prevent others from trespassing.

If someone hadn’t led the way, the police would not have been able to find this place.

She could only wait until ten o’clock the next day to seize the opportunity to immobilize these people with the immobilizing talisman. Then, she would think of a way to locate this basement and then make a plan.

Lauren wrote down her plan for the next day in her notebook and added a sentence at the end.

[I am very safe now. Don’t worry, brothers.]

Lauren wrote down two whole pages and recorded everything she saw on the basement floor. It might be useful in the future.

Five minutes later, a reply came from Franklin. It was written in Franklin’s delicate handwriting.

[Okay. I will contact the police ahead of time and wait for your news.]

[Lauren, how are you doing over there?]

[Everything is fine. It’s just that I can’t eat or sleep well. I am starving.]

It was only then that Lauren remembered that she had not even eaten breakfast this morning.

[Franklin, what time is it now?]

[It’s already 10:20 am]

[Oh.] Lauren wrote.

[I am in the basement now, so I can’t see what’s going on outside and I don’t know what time it is.]

[When you come back, I’ll prepare a pile of delicious food for you to eat.]

[Okay, thank you, Franklin!]

According to their plan, Lauren would have to wait until 10:00 a.m. the next morning.

However, there were only two meat buns left. Lauren didn’t know how to distribute them, so she put on a long face.

After telling Franklin about her situation, Lauren put away her notebook.

It seemed that no one would come back for a while. Lauren unlocked the cage and walked out again.

She stayed in the magic library for the whole day yesterday. She browsed through a lot of ancient books that recorded all kinds of sorcery. Then, she found a talisman—soul-returning talisman.

It was actually very difficult for the soul to return to the body. One had to use the blood of a person as a primer to transfer the soul back to the body.

This person could not be an ordinary person. It had to be someone who had a pure energy in order to properly guide these souls back.

Lauren did not know how the black medicinal liquid Irene drank was concocted. However, it seemed that these children who were locked up in cages in the room were not for Irene.

These children looked lifeless, so it was obvious that their souls had been extracted.

Wait a minute…

The clues in Lauren’s mind suddenly seemed to be connected in a single line.

Pendant, living dead, soul extraction, Irene and Pauline.

Could it be…

Lauren had a bold guess in her mind.

This guess could easily explain all her doubts, but she was still unsure.

The truth of the matter would be revealed tomorrow.

Now that there was no one else around, Lauren decided to test if this soul-returning talisman would be effective.

Lauren took out a blank talisman paper and wrote a string of spells on it according to the spell she learned yesterday.

Wasn’t Lauren the person with the purest energy?
