Chapter 150: Organization
At this moment, Lauren, who was loved by her elder brother and second brother, and despised by her third brother, was starving in a cage.
The system could allow the host to make use of the tools available to her, but it could not allow the host to conjure things out of thin air. Just like how Lauren could not conjure chicken wings right now.
“System Divine Nine, I am so hungry! Rich people have so much food that they cannot finish, but poor people on the streets like me don’t have anything to eat!”
Lauren rubbed her small belly.
“I only ate one meat bun for the whole night. I must have lost a few pounds. Tell me, if I go hungry for two days, will I die?”
[System Divine Nine: Host, you’re overthinking. You are able to go without food for a week based on the fat in your body.]
Lauren said, “Are you indirectly saying that I’m fat?”
[System Divine Nine: I’m just stating the facts.]
“Hmph, I’m not going to talk to you anymore.”
The cage was very uncomfortable, so it was impossible for Lauren to lie on it.
She reached into her pocket dimension and searched for a while. She found a thin blanket and placed it on top of the cage.
This blanket was specially sewn for her by her nanny when she was in the church.
Although it looked thin, it was comfortable to use as a cushion.
Lauren curled herself up like a shrimp and lay on the blanket.
She had not rested for the entire day. Now that she was lying down, she felt sleepy.
Before she went to sleep, she thought that she had to wake up before anyone else arrived, or else she would be discovered.
When she woke up the next day, she did not even know what time it was.
Of course, that was because this was a basement, so she could not see what was happening outside.
“I’m so stupid. There are so many watches in my brother’s room, I should have brought one over!”
She got up and folded the small blanket before putting it back into the pocket dimension.
When Irene came over yesterday, she was almost discovered because of the lights. So, Lauren did not dare to be so brazen this time.
She had more or less understood the situation at the basement, but she was still a little confused.
The five rooms in the basement were all filled with cages, but each room was only a dozen square meters. The cages could only be stacked on two levels at most.
Before Irene arrived yesterday, Lauren quickly counted the number of cages in each room. There were only about thirty cages in each room.
So in total, there were less than 200 cages in all five rooms. This did not tally with the number of missing children that she knew of in the past few years.
What was going on?
Lauren sat cross-legged in the cage, trying to think as she moved her body.
[System Divine Nine: Host, stop moving around. I can’t even sleep in here.]
Lauren was speechless.
“System Divine Nine, you’re just a system. It’s a form of consciousness. You don’t have to sleep, okay? Besides, I am moving my body because of the pain in my butt!”
[System Divine Nine: My brothers and sisters have said that before our system transforms into human form, we must take good rests and store our energy!]
“Did your brothers and sisters tell you that you have to complete more missions and store experience points when you transform into human form?”
[System Divine Nine: Yes!]
“Then why don’t you quickly come up with a plan with me! Stop sleeping!”
[System Divine Nine: Host, you’re so fierce.]
Lauren could actually hear a hint of grievance in its voice.
In the next second, System Divine Nine suddenly became serious.
[System Divine Nine: Host, focus. I can sense that someone is coming.]
No matter what, System Divine Nine was still a system, not a human, so its ability to adapt to all kinds of situations was actually above Lauren.
It was just that the system did not have a physical body. Its biggest task was to help the host complete missions.
System Divine Nine was now equivalent to a human being at the age of three or four. It was still a child and was a little playful. However, once it became serious, its perception and reaction times were faster than Lauren.
When Lauren heard what System Divine Nine said, she immediately returned to her original sitting position.
Sure enough, the basement door slowly opened.
It was the familiar sound of high heels again.
Lauren could hear that Irene was not the only one who had come.
The other person’s footsteps were more steady.
Lauren used her spiritual consciousness to check carefully. The person who came with Irene should be a man.
It was because she sensed a stronger aura, which was different from Irene’s.
“Master, wait here for a moment. My niece hasn’t arrived yet.”
“Alright, I’ll make some preparations first.”
“Okay.”
From the sound of the voice, it was indeed a man. Moreover, this man was a “master”.
However, this voice was also very familiar!
Lauren scratched her head.
However, she had heard so many people’s voices before. She could not tell who was who at once.
She would have to remember their voices in the future.
Suddenly, the entire basement echoed with the ringtone of a cell phone, giving Lauren a shock.
It was Irene’s cell phone. Strangely, the screen did not display any information about the caller.
“Hello?”
“Everything is normal here. Everything is progressing as planned. How is the organization?”
“Yes.”
Irene’s reply was very short and Lauren could not catch much of it.
However…
Organization?
