[ System Divine Nine: The higher you go, the stronger the supernatural energy. Currently, it is impossible to determine how many vengeful souls have been locked up. Host, please be careful. ]
“Little Nine, don’t worry. The difficulty of this mission is only one star. Lauren can handle it easily!”
Difficulties of missions were divided into one to five stars. This one star was indeed relatively simple. Otherwise, Lauren would not have had the time to eat candy..
She could sense that although there were many vengeful souls locked up in this place, the “culprit” was just a kid. As long as she captured him, those vengeful souls would be able to reincarnate.
The rooftop was very spacious. A few bamboo poles were tied together and placed in the middle, which was where the clothes were hung. There was no fence around the edge of the rooftop.
Lauren munched on the candy as she asked Wendy, who was floating beside her.
“Auntie, where did you fall?”
She needed to go to the place where the incident happened to sense the scent so that she could quickly find the little devil who was behind it all.
Wendy floated to the place where she had fallen.
“It’s here. There was a green shirt… that’s the one!”
There was a green shirt in the corner of the rooftop. Lauren took it out from the small pink bag she carried on her back.
She took out something that looked like a walking stick. It was about a meter long and was pure black. However, it was very shiny and seemed to glow under the sun.
Ben did not dare to walk towards his wife nor did he dare to approach Lauren. He could only hide at the stairs and poke his head out to look.
This young lady was even more mysterious than he had imagined. Where did she take out such a long thing?
This aura staff was even longer than Lauren, but she easily picked it up. She used the other end of the staff to pick up the green dress and then closed her eyes.
The lollipop was still in her mouth, looking rather out of place.
Lauren held the staff in her right hand. She then used both her left index and middle fingers together to draw a symbol on her right arm, and strands of green light suddenly wrapped around the staff.
Then, as if guided by the aura staff, Lauren walked to the edge of the balcony near building four.
The position guided by the aura staff was not at the same position as that where Wendy had fallen from. There was a gap of more than two meters between the two positions.
“Auntie, my aura staff shows that when you were here, your soul was extracted by the little ghost… But you fell there.”
The aura battle staff could gather aura, and through the tracking of aura, it could find the location of the ghost. It meant that the little ghost must have wanted to extract Wendy’s soul from this location.
“I was indeed on the verge of falling down there, but I caught the clothesline over there. Later, I was scared by the green clothes and took a few steps back, but I still ended up falling down.”
“No wonder auntie’s soul wasn’t extracted but instead remained wandering around the human world. So that’s how it was…”
[ System Divine Nine: If you want to suck the souls of the people in the mortal world, you must extract their souls from the Underworld. Wendy didn’t fall down the first time, but this little devil mistakenly thought that he was about to succeed, so he performed the ritual to extract her soul, but he didn’t succeed. When Wendy fell the second time, it was too late for the little devil to perform it again, and Wendy’s soul escaped. ]
“Well, it should be like this. This little devil doesn’t have a deep cultivation, but he has a lot of bad thoughts. What if Lauren didn’t exist in this world?”
[ System Divine Nine: … Host, now is not the time to be narcissistic. Hurry up and finish the mission. ]
Lauren stood at the position where the staff of assembly was pointing. She took the staff of assembly and stuffed it back into the small pink bag. The small pink bag was like a bottomless pit, and the entire staff of assembly was stuffed back into it.
Then, she dug around in the small pink bag and found the soul storage box that she had received in the church.
It was a small one, just like a music box.
However, there were quite a number of “bad ghosts” stored inside.
Lauren opened the soul storage box and held it with one hand. Then, she closed her eyes and drew out a wisp of her own breath. Very quickly, she tracked down the location of this little ghost.
She skillfully uttered the incantation that she had already said over a hundred times, waiting for this little ghost to surrender.
The wind suddenly became stronger, and the clothes hanging on the rooftop began to sway in all directions. Other than that, there was nothing else out of the ordinary.
Lauren’s tiny figure stood on the rooftop as if she was about to fall at any moment.
“Mr. Torres, look at the rooftop of block three. Miss Torres is there!” The secretary covered her mouth with one hand and exclaimed while pointing at the rooftop.
