Chapter 242 - Swaying

Suddenly, the police officer looked at Bryce Torres and pointed at him. “Lauren, isn’t this man your bodyguard? Let him accompany you inside. Although he doesn’t look fleshy, he can at least stand in front of you when you’re in danger.”

Bryce Torres was standing in the corner when he was suddenly called out.

He pointed at his own nose. “Me?”

The police officer nodded. “Yes, I’m talking about you. Aren’t you a bodyguard? Your master is in danger. Aren’t you going to protect her?”

“I’ve said that I’m not a bodyguard…”

Before Bryce Torres could finish his sentence, he was pushed into the utility room by the three police officers. Ben Carson was the last to enter. After entering, he closed the door behind him.

When the door was closed, it made a loud noise as if someone had pushed it from behind.

Bryce Torres was startled by the sound of the door being closed.

Lauren Torres shook her head. It seemed that Bryce Torres’s courage was about the same as Quinn Torres’s.

These two people were quite good at talking, but when it came to actions, they were like cowardly turtles.

To seek a sense of security, Bryce Torres leaned against the wall. Even if there was a ghost, it would not be able to attack him from behind.

He leaned against the wall and asked, “Hey, what are you guys doing here?”

Although he was very scared, he still sounded very steady. He was unlike Quinn Torres, whose voice was trembling even when he was on the second floor of the basement.

Lauren Torres did not answer him. Instead, she was looking carefully around the room.

She groped and found the position of the light and asked Ben Carson to turn it on.

The light had probably not been switched on for a long time. When it was switched on, it was flickering. It felt like the opening scene of a ghost movie, making the room seem even stranger.

Fortunately, the light soon stabilized.

Before taking out the talisman from the pocket dimension, Lauren Torres hesitantly glanced at Bryce Torres.

‘Hmm… Should I let him know?’

Lauren Torres was worried that this would cause great harm to Bryce Torres’s “young” mind, so she asked Ben Carson to cover Bryce Torres’s eyes with his hands.

“Hey, what are you guys trying to do! Mr. Carson, why are you accompanying Lauren to cause trouble here! Hey, why are you covering my eyes?” Bryce Torres asked

Ben Carson replied, “Mr. Torres, master, I’m covering your eyes for your own good. Don’t struggle anymore.”

Although Ben Carson meant good for Bryce Torres, he sounded similar to those of the bad guys in the movies.

“You… you guys aren’t trying to silence me, are you? Is there a need for that? I just threw a tantrum?”

Seeing Bryce Torres’s train of thought was getting more and more off track and he was so imaginative, Lauren Torres sighed.

It was so noisy.

“Forget it, Mr. Carson. If he wants to see it, let him. We won’t have to bear the consequences.”

Although Lauren Torres said so, Ben Carson still had a lingering fear. He had borne the consequences before.

At that time in the surveillance room, he used the heavenly eye that had not been closed to see the lady ghost inside. He had nightmares for several nights before he recovered from it.

Ben Carson looked at Bryce Torres with sympathy in his eyes.

This was probably something that everyone who came into contact with Lauren Torres had to go through.

Bryce Torres was able to see the world again. Even though the world in front of him was a mess, Bryce Torres felt safe again.

The darkness was too easy to breed fear.

It could even magnify fear.

Especially for people like Bryce Torres who had watched many horror movies in the past. As soon as he closed his eyes, those scenes would attack Bryce Torres.

He continued to stand close to the wall.

At that moment, Lauren Torres had already taken out a talisman from her pocket dimension. She used her fingers to draw on the talisman while complaining.

It was a very simple matter, but it had been delayed by Bryce Torres for such a long time. When she returned home, she had to properly explain it to her eldest brother.

It would be better to replace the bodyguard.

Bryce Torres was no stranger to the talisman. Every year, the Torres family would have such a thing during the ceremony of their worship.

However, why did it seem so out of place when it appeared in Lauren Torres’s hands?

Perhaps it was because this talisman was bigger than Lauren Torres’s hands.

Or perhaps it was because Lauren Torres had used her own blood to draw on the talisman.

Lauren Torres made a small cut on her index finger. After she wrote on the talisman, it began to glow.

Ben Carson had seen this scene many times. He quietly stood in the corner and watched Lauren Torres’s performance. He treated it as if he was watching a movie at close range.

The only difference was that the ghost in the movie was fake. But the ghost they were about to see was a real ghost.

The talisman began to glow and burn.

Normally, during this process, the ghost would reveal its true form, but it did not. Lauren Torres still did not see anything.

This was really a strange thing, but the strange thing was not over yet.

Just as the talisman was completely burnt, the entire room suddenly began to shake.

Tables, chairs, mops, everything was swaying slightly from side to side..
