Chapter 105: Dirty Things
Franklin took this opportunity to share with Lauren about Maverick.
Just based on Maverick’s robes, Lauren did not need Franklin’s help to know the identity of the visitor.
“Since Master Maverick’s time is precious. Let’s not beat around the bush,” Gertrude continued, “Master Maverick must have remembered what happened to the Torres family four years ago. At that time, it was thanks to Master Wyatt that our Torres family managed to survive.”
“At that time, we sent Lauren to a church and only brought her back a month ago. However, according to Quinn, Lauren has seemed to have picked up something in that church, and now it’s even affecting the people around her.”
There was not much respect in Gertrude’s words. Lauren frowned as she listened, and a bitter expression appeared on her face.
Maverick nodded understandingly and looked at Lauren who was sitting on the sofa again.
“This kind of thing is not uncommon as Lauren is young and her mind is still growing. Her body is also weaker than an adult’s. It is very easy for her to be possessed by dirty things.”
“Even the brightest places may hide dirty things. Although the church is a place of worship, it is also able to attract dirty things.”
Gertrude nodded with a look of complete agreement.
Lauren could not stand it anymore, she retorted, “I am not possessed by anything dirty!”
“Whether you are possessed or not, let Master Maverick take a look and we will know,” Gertrude said lightly.
Following that, she instructed Master Maverick to make preparations.
They saw Master Maverick holding many talisman papers and a wooden sword made of yellow peach wood. There were some black talisman characters engraved on the sword.
“Lauren, follow Master Maverick into the room.”
Master Maverick had already brought his tools into the room specially prepared by Gertrude.
[System Divine Nine: This old lady is a little too much! You are her biological granddaughter!]
Lauren said, “Hmph, a person of integrity can stand any tests, so I am not afraid of any so-called tests. But I can’t accept the way she talked about the church!”
On the other hand, Lauren also wanted to take a good look at the much respected Master Maverick.
She walked towards the room, and she could hear Franklin’s voice behind her.
“Grandmother, your words are a little biased. You don’t know the truth, so how can you say such things about Lauren? She is still so young, what if these things cause harm to her body?”
Franklin was anxious to protect his sister and did not care about his grandmother’s opinion.
Though Lauren was of small build, she stood firm in the face of criticism.
“Since our Torres family always has upright children, why would she be afraid of these things?”
Gertrude was already seventy-five years old, but her voice was full of energy and carried the unique gentleness of a woman. But to Lauren, her voice was like a needle piercing her ears.
She did not say anything and entered the room where Maverick was waiting for her.
The door was immediately closed. The room was very empty and there was no furniture. Maverick stood in the middle, holding a wooden sword and talisman paper in his hands.
“Lauren, don’t be afraid. It won’t cause you any harm.”
Maverick had a kind look on his face. He did not have any ill intentions.
Lauren sighed.
“Come on then.” Lauren spread out her hands with a calm expression.
Maverick was startled by Lauren’s indifferent attitude.
‘She has quite a lot of guts for a young child,’ Maverick thought.
He told Lauren to stand properly and then spread out the talisman papers beside Lauren. The talisman papers formed a circle and surrounded Lauren.
Then, he stood two meters away from Lauren with a talisman paper in his hand.
He extended his right index finger and bit on it with his mouth.
There was a wound on his index finger, and he dripped the blood on his index finger onto the talisman paper in his hand.
The talisman paper instantly emitted a golden light. Maverick threw the talisman paper upwards. Before the talisman paper fell to the ground, he quickly chanted a spell. The moment he finished chanting, the talisman papers around Lauren also began to glow.
The atmosphere on Maverick’s side was very tense, but Lauren stood in the middle of the talisman array and did not feel anything.
She was even a little tired from standing and wanted to sit down. So she really sat down cross-legged.
This Master was quite skilful. At least his talisman paper could glow.
However, Maverick’s skills were different from hers, as he still needed to use his own blood as a primer.
The talisman papers surrounding Lauren grew brighter and brighter, and Lauren’s tiny body was almost completely surrounded by the light.
Maverick had been waiting for the “dirty thing” mentioned by Gertrude to appear, but he did not find any trace on Lauren’s body.
If there was really something dirty possessing Lauren, then these talisman papers would turn green.
