Fortunately, Lauren did not really want to play. She just took a look and wandered around again. Suddenly, she stopped and looked at the middle-aged woman sitting under a big tree.

The middle-aged woman’s eyes were dim and her hair was a little messy. She was holding a small skirt in her hand, which was obviously for a little girl. Next to her was a small schoolbag, which had the same color as the skirt.

[System Divine Nine: Host, have you noticed something? ]

“That Auntie looks like she’s waiting for someone. Is she waiting for her daughter?”

Lauren was not someone who meddled in other people’s business. It was just that the experience of completing missions over the past few years had trained her to be able to tell that what happened to this auntie was definitely not simple.

She had always trusted her own experience and intuition, so she ran toward the middle-aged woman with her short legs.

Ben and Zelda quickly followed, feeling confused.

“Miss Torres, what’s wrong?” Ben went forward to ask, worried that Lauren would do something funny again. The Eldest Young Master had scolded him for what happened on the rooftop last time. This time, he did not dare to leave Lauren alone.

“Uncle Ben, I am going to help that Auntie. That Auntie is so miserable.”

Ben looked over. She was just an ordinary woman. What was there to be miserable about?

“Miss Torres, it’s getting late. We should go home. Otherwise, Eldest Young Master will be angry.”

Knowing that Franklin held an extraordinary position in Lauren’s heart, Ben deliberately used Franklin to scare her.

“Even if my brother is angry, I have to help that Auntie. This is my mission!”

When she first received the mission, Lauren knew that she wanted to help everyone in this world to have a better life. She was also very happy that she could help others.

Ignoring Ben’s obstruction, Lauren ran to the woman.

“Auntie, are you waiting for your daughter?”

The middle-aged woman’s eyes that had lost their focus became a little more lively after Lauren called out to her. Seeing that Lauren was alone, she said anxiously,

“My child, why are you alone! It’s very dangerous. Where are your parents?”

Ben and Zelda ran over while panting.

Miss Lauren looked chubby. How did she run so fast? The two adults could not catch up.

“Auntie, don’t worry. I came with them!” Lauren pointed at Ben and Zelda, then turned her head and continued to speak to the middle-aged woman, “Auntie, did your daughter get lost?”

After the middle-aged woman’s explanation, Lauren found out that the woman’s name was Yulia Citra. Two years ago, her three-year-old daughter, Lily, had disappeared in this amusement park.

Yulia called the police, but it didn’t help. The police checked the surveillance footage and found that the missing little girl, Lily, didn’t seem to have been abducted. Instead, she had wandered out of the amusement park on her own.

Two years ago, the area around Star Dream Amusement Park was still under development. The surveillance facilities were not complete, and the police could not find any trace of Lily in the end.

As for Yulia, after she lost Lily, she came to the amusement park every day. She brought Lily’s favorite dress and small schoolbag, hoping to meet her daughter again one day.

Yulia was sobbing as she spoke. Ben and Zelda were quietly wiping away their tears when they heard this. Lauren also cried secretly.

“My child, how did you know that my daughter is missing?”

Yulia stepped out of her sadness and asked in puzzlement.

“You…Have you seen my Lily?”

Suddenly, there was a ‘ding’ sound in Lauren’s head. System Divine Nine has appeared.

[System Divine Nine: Mission 2: Help Yulia find her missing daughter Lily.]

[Mission level: Three-star]

[ Time limit: One month ]

[Mission rewards: The ‘Photographic Memory’ skill to be upgraded to Tier 11; the ‘resurrection’ skill to be upgraded to Tier 3. ]

[System Divine Nine: Host, do you accept this mission? ]

Lauren looked at the middle-aged woman in front of her, whose face was covered in tears, and firmly accepted the mission.

Seeing that the sky was getting darker and that the time required to complete the mission was rather long, Lauren got Ben to record Yulia’s cell phone number.

“Auntie, I can help you find your daughter. But now I am going home, I’ll give you a call. Aunty, you must pick up the call!”

For two years, Yulia had been searching for her daughter. Even the police could not do anything about it, could such a little girl really help her?

But now this was only a last resort. Yulia nodded and promised Lauren.
