Lauren Torres pursed her lips.

“Why are you trying to attract their attention?”

“Well…”

Lauren Torres saw the female ghost frown.

“I’ll tell you next time. Time is up.”

What did she mean?

Before she could react, the ghost flashed and returned to the mop.

The mop quivered slightly before it stopped in the corner.

What was going on? Lauren Torres paused for a moment and immediately took out another talisman. However, this time, it was a collective shake.

Lauren Torres sighed. It seemed that Lauren Torres could only summon this ghost at five o’clock sharp.

When Franklin Torres saw Lauren Torres suddenly stop talking and looking at the wall, he knew that the ghost had probably left.

Just as he was about to ask her, Lauren Torres turned around.

“Brother, let’s go.”

Upon hearing this, Bryce Torres heaved a sigh of relief and urged the two of them to leave.

“Quick, quick, quick. Let’s go back quickly.”

After getting into the car, Bryce Torres finally relaxed. He fastened his seatbelt and heaved a sigh of relief.

Although he did not want to talk to Lauren Torres, he still had a lot of questions about what had just happened. He turned around.

“Lauren, what were you talking to just now?”

After leaving that place, Bryce Torres spoke with much more confidence. His tone was now that of an interrogator.

Lauren Torres was in a bad mood because she had not solved the problem. When she was questioned by Bryce Torres in such a tone, she replied in a bad mood, “I was talking to a ghost.”

Bryce Torres was speechless. It seemed this answer was not wrong.

“No… What I mean is, can you really see a ghost, or are you sick?”

“You’re the one who’s sick!”

Lauren Torres rolled her eyes.

Seeing Lauren Torres’s attitude, Bryce Torres was furious. He turned his head to look at Franklin Torres, who was driving.

“Brother, look at her!”

As usual, Franklin Torres ignored his younger brother and asked Lauren Torres, “What happened just now?”

Lauren Torres lowered her head and answered, “I managed to summon the female ghost just now, but she disappeared in less than two minutes.”

“Then what should we do now?”

“I don’t know… She didn’t reveal any information just now. She only said she had imprinted the bloody handprint to attract our attention. But she had disappeared before I could find out the reason. I can only come back another day.”

Franklin Torres was in no hurry on the way back, so he didn’t run the red light.

When he encountered a red light on the way back, he slowly stopped the car.

While waiting, his index finger tapped the steering wheel rhythmically.

“Lauren, open the heavenly eye for me.” Franklin Torres’s voice sounded in the car.

“Open your heavenly eye? Why, Brother?”

Franklin Torres sighed lightly. Bryce Torres could clearly hear them.

“I was standing in the room just now, but I didn’t even know what happened.”

“Wait a minute, Brother, what’s the heavenly eye that you guys are talking about?”

Franklin glanced at him. “After opening the heavenly eye, you’ll be able to see ghosts. Do you want to open it?”

Bryce Torres widened his eyes and reached out his left hand to touch his brother’s forehead. Then, he muttered to himself, “Brother, you’re not sick, but why are you talking nonsense?”

Franklin Torres brushed off Bryce Torres’s hand.

Heavenly eye? This was getting more and more mysterious.

Bryce Torres then patted his head and said, “Now I know what’s going on. You guys have ganged up to play a prank on me, right? You want to trick me into thinking that there are ghosts in this world!”

In Bryce Torres’s heart, his eldest brother, who had received so many years of compulsory education, would not believe that there was such a thing as ghosts. Let alone opening the heavenly eye.

He thought about it carefully.

“It must be so. The two of you are just trying to prank me.”

Lauren Torres shrugged. This… If he wanted to think this way, there was nothing she could do about it.

On the other hand, Bryce Torres looked as if he had discovered the truth and was no longer afraid.

“Come on, open the heavenly eye for me, too. Let me see if ghosts really exist.”

His blind confidence was completely different from his earlier cowardice in the utility room.

The red light had turned green. Franklin Torres stepped on the accelerator, and the black car flew out with a whoosh.

It was like a black wind.

Franklin Torres cleared his throat.

“Alright, I’ll show you the heavenly eye. What if you see a ghost?”

Franklin Torres began to use his usual tactic on his younger brother, which was to provoke him.

Bryce Torres scoffed in disdain as if he did not believe he would lose.

And he said, “If I see a ghost… I’ll play together with you guys every day.”

“Playing with us means you’ll catch that female ghost with us?” Lauren Torres asked.

“Sure, no problem..”
