After speaking, Lauren entered her own spiritual consciousness world.

This world was empty and existed only in her mind. However, there were many things stored in it. The most precious thing was the “Magic Library”.

This library was actually a reward for completing a mission. At that time, Lauren had helped an old uncle fulfill his long-cherished wish. Later on, she discovered that this old uncle was actually a famous book collector.

The ‘Magic Library’was a gift from the old uncle to her. Later on, Lauren kept putting all the books she had collected into her spiritual consciousness. As a result, the library became bigger and bigger, and it was all-encompassing.

If someone could enter Lauren’s spiritual consciousness world now, they would find a little girl wearing denim overalls sitting on a desk that matched her height and figure. She was quietly flipping through the books.

The speed of flipping through the book was very fast. It was as if the person reading the book was only flipping through the book and not reading it.

However, Lauren’s mind was very clear. She quickly flipped through the ancient books that she thought were useful while Little Nine flapped his wings at the side.

“Little Nine, when will you turn into another creature? You turned into a kitten last time. It’s so cute.”

The System Divine Nine could be materialized in her spiritual consciousness world. Previously, it could only turn into a book or a box. As Lauren’s height and spiritual consciousness world continued to evolve, the system could now turn into a living creature.

[ System Divine Nine: that depends on when you can make a big leap in your level. Host, look, I can fly now! ]

Lauren looked up from the book. “Little Nine, you’re so childish. You’re a 400-year-old system, yet you’re still so happy after becoming a bird. Didn’t you say that your other brothers and sisters can transform into humans?”

[ System Divine Nine: That’s right. My sister god, told me two days ago that she can now maintain her human form for two days! ]

As the system spoke, he flew around in Lauren’s library.

“Little nine, don’t fly anymore. You’re disturbing Lauren’s reading!”

Being yelled at by its master, the famous system could only hide in a corner, feeling wronged.

A few minutes later.

“Lauren found it! It’s this ‘Horcrux’. Aunt Zhang must have used this to bring that ghost into the Torres family!”

The System ‘flew’ over and landed on the desk.

[ System Divine Nine: What is a Horcrux? ]

“Lauren has heard of this divine object before. As the name suggests, a Horcrux is a vessel used to hold souls. This Horcrux appeared three thousand years ago and was forged by an elder. This elder used half of his cultivation to set up a barrier for this Horcrux.”

Lauren flipped through the ancient book in her hand seriously. Her serious appearance did not look like that of a four-and-a-half-year-old girl at all.

“Any soul, whether pure or evil, can freely pass through various places after being placed into this Horcrux. This is because their aura has been isolated.”

[ System Divine Nine: I understand now. Therefore, someone used a Horcrux to bring this ghost into the Torres family. When it is about to turn into a demon, they will activate this Horcrux and release the ghost! ]

Lauren gave a thumbs up to the emerald-green bird on the desk.

“Little Nine, you’ve really become smarter after following me for a few years! It seems like Master Lauren’s wisdom has infected you.”

[ System Divine Nine: We were already very smart to begin with! I’m just a little slow in processing information! ]

System Divine Nine had eight older brothers and sisters. Each of them had a different master and was carrying out missions in different places like Lauren. After all, there were too many bad people and bad ghosts in this world.

According to Lauren’s understanding, System Divine Nine was probably the dumbest person in the Miraculous System!

The little girl and the system returned to the topic at hand.

Lauren said, “So this Horcrux can also explain why I can sometimes feel the ghost aura, but sometimes I can’t. Only when this bad ghost comes out to do evil does he come out from the horcrux.”

Having found the answer she wanted, Lauren returned from the spiritual world.

Returning to reality, Lauren immediately saw Aunt Zhang, who was cooking in the kitchen. Aunt Zhang was a very ordinary-looking woman in her forties.

For a moment, she could not figure out why Aunt Zhang wanted to harm her brother.
