Chapter 157: TLL

The master had been writing and drawing on the altar with his back facing Lauren ever since he entered the room.

Lauren surmised that he was drawing a talisman for the ceremony.

Since Lauren was wearing a mask, she could roll her eyes openly.

After Master Maverick finished writing the talisman, someone brought over a folding screen from outside the room.

The folding screen split the room into two. Lauren was moved behind the folding screen, and Master Maverick also stood behind it. The talisman he had just written was now in his hand.

At the same time, he was holding a mahogany sword in his hand.

The moment she saw the mahogany sword, Lauren was certain that this master was Master Maverick.

Although Lauren had yet to see his face, she was certain that this mahogany sword belonged to Master Maverick.

The ghost-exorcising wooden swords held by priests or mages were not mass-produced, each of them was unique.

The patterns and even the colors of each sword were different. There would always be some slight differences.

Lauren remembered that when she was at the Torres family that day, there was a peach blossom on the handle of Master Maverick’s mahogany sword.

There was a red dot on one of the petals of the peach blossom.

The wooden sword in this person’s hand had the same characteristics.

Lauren did not believe that there was such a coincidence in this world.

However, she did not expect Master Maverick, who was respectful, humble and upright in the Torres family, to do such a thing. It seemed that the identity and status given to him by the Torres family was a very good form of protection for him.

Soon, Lauren heard someone walking towards the room again.

This time, the footsteps were very familiar. It was Quinn.

Quinn did not sleep well last night. He had been having all sorts of strange dreams.

However, he could not remember anything after he woke up. He was just in a daze.

He felt like he hadn’t slept at all, so he was very listless in the morning.

According to Pauline’s request, he had specially bought a full red sports suit and put on a thin coat over it.

After finishing his breakfast in one gulp, Quinn was brought here by the car that Pauline had sent.

When he arrived, Pauline was waiting for him in the parking lot.

With Pauline leading the way this time, they smoothly arrived at the basement floor.

Quinn followed Pauline through the corridors and finally stopped in front of a room.

Quinn saw the sign at the door of the room. This time, it was engraved with the letter “TLL”.

Quinn was no longer as afraid as before when he walked into the room.

However, he did not know what he was going to do next. So, he was a little hesitant.

Lauren was on one side of the folding screen, while Quinn was on the other side.

Pauline said, “There are still about ten minutes until ten o’clock.”

Lauren had been thinking about how to let Quinn know she was there.

She needed to create a sense of presence.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to her, Lauren quickly kicked the cage with her foot, then retracted it back to its original state.

Since no one was talking, the sound was very obvious in the room.

Lauren felt Master Maverick’s gaze on her for a while, but he did not notice anything unusual. So, he turned his head back.

None of them took the sound to heart. They thought it was just the cage.

However, Quinn noticed it.

He asked, “Pauline, what is behind this folding screen?”

Pauline did not intend to hide it from Quinn.

“Behind this folding screen is a child, a child that can help you become famous.”

When Lauren mentioned the living dead to Quinn previously, Quinn was still a little skeptical. However, after hearing what Pauline said, he could not help but believe it.

Such a thing actually existed.

Of course, he could not reveal his shock right now.

“Pauline, this child is helping me because I want to become famous, so…”

Quinn did not continue because he could not find the right words to describe.

Pauline nodded. “Yes, this child is your tool to become famous. You don’t have to feel guilty. She was bought with money.”

Quinn recalled the cases of the missing children that Lauren and Franklin had discussed earlier. He seemed to have some idea of what had happened.

He suddenly recalled what Lauren had mentioned on the notebook yesterday. She had said that they would meet today. Could it be that she was referring to…

He then recalled how Pauline had called him that night and asked him, “How’s your sister?”

Now, Quinn finally understood why Pauline had asked that question. It was because they had kidnapped Lauren!
