In Quinn’s room.
Quinn hadn’t been assigned any work for the past few days.
Since he had nothing to do, he asked Ben to drive him around.
He didn’t want to let his imagination run wild at home.
In the car, Quinn received another message from Pauline. She told him that he had to go to the parking lot of Golden Star Agency before 10 am tomorrow.
After a long time, Quinn replied, “Okay.”
When he thought about how he had to go alone, he was still a little afraid.
However, when he thought about Lauren, he was not so afraid anymore.
If even a little brat like Lauren could do it, why couldn’t a twenty-something-year-old adult like him do it?!
He touched the inner pocket of his shirt, which was filled with the talismans that Lauren had left for him.
Ever since Lauren had given him these talismans, he had carried them with him wherever he went.
Although he hadn’t used them yet, he felt that these talismans would protect him.
After knowing tomorrow’s itinerary, Quinn immediately went to look for Franklin at his company.
Ever since Franklin found out about the notebook, he took it for himself.
Before Quinn could tell Lauren this news, he needed to get the notebook from Franklin.
“Ben, go to the Torres Group immediately. I want to find my brother.”
[Lauren, Pauline just contacted me. She wants me to go to the basement of Golden Star Agency by 10 am tomorrow. She probably wants to get that scary plastic doll for me.]
Lauren only saw this sentence two hours later. At this time, she had just returned from studying in the library and she was so hungry that she felt dizzy.
However, when she saw the message from Quinn, she immediately perked up.
As expected, her guess was correct. The message received by Quinn was the same message as the one she received here, both were tomorrow morning at ten o’clock.
This meant that the same person was involved in Quinn’s incident and the missing children cases.
All these clues, including the pendant that she had repeatedly seen and heard of, the living dead and the dripping blood, pointed to one person.
At this moment, the only person that popped into Lauren’s mind was the woman she had met on the basement floor—Pauline.
If Lauren had guessed correctly, Irene’s niece was Pauline.
She replied to Quinn.
[Okay, I got it.]
[You should be able to see me tomorrow. Quinn, if you see the license plate number that I have mentioned in the parking lot of the Golden Star Agency tomorrow, remember to track it. Follow the car and you will find the place where the missing children are.]
If Lauren was right, this minivan would take her to Golden Star Agency tomorrow.
Quinn was confused.
[Huh? Why is this minivan parked in Golden Star Agency’s parking lot?]
[I don’t have time to explain now. We’ll talk about it when I am free.]
[By the way, Quinn, no matter what happens tomorrow, you have to be brave. Don’t scream or you’ll ruin things.]
At this moment, the two brothers were leaning against the table, staring at the notebook.
Looking at Lauren’s last reply, Franklin lifted his eyes and stared at Quinn with total contempt.
“Don’t shout? It seems like you’ve screamed before, otherwise Lauren would not have such an impression of you.”
Quinn shook his head and retorted, “That’s because I didn’t have any experience the first time. Now that I have experience, I won’t be like this. Lauren always tarnishes my reputation.”
“Franklin, you can talk to her. I don’t want to talk to her anymore.”
After saying that, Quinn walked to the sofa in the office and sat down, angry and embarrassed.
Franklin shook his head helplessly.
Though the two of them were so far apart, they could still quarrel with each other through writing.
Franklin picked up a pen and replied to Lauren seriously.
[Okay, I’ll get the police to send a car to wait in the parking lot tomorrow.]
Franklin had a vague idea that the next day would be the critical moment for the entire plan. He repeatedly reminded Lauren to be careful.
Although it was a cliché and he knew that it was useless just to say it, he would be more worried if he did not say anything.
He did not know when he had also become an “old grandmother” who liked to nag.
In the rest of the time, Lauren continued to study the soul-returning talisman.
She felt that the time taken to regain a child’s soul was a little too long. She was currently looking for a way to shorten the time it took to regain a child’s soul so that the children would not be harmed in the process.
As Lauren flipped through the book, she suddenly thought of something.
If the soul wanted to float back into its physical body, the speed would be faster if the attraction was greater.
Lauren wondered if the soul of the little boy had returned so slowly because it was too far away from the little boy’s body, and also the attraction of Lauren’s blood was not strong enough, so it took a much longer time..
