BXBX NOVEL Chapter 237 - New Mission
Chapter 237: New Mission
Upon hearing the words ‘ghost story’, the system’s voice rang in Lauren Torres’s head.
The voice was familiar. It was for the mission!
[ Mission 4: please find the owner of the bloody handprint. ]
[ Mission time: one month. ]
[ Mission difficulty: two stars. ]
[ Mission rewards: three memory pills. ]
“Memory pills? What were they for?”
[ System Divine Nine: memory pills, as the name suggests, are used to enhance memory! Those who take the memory pills can quickly remember the things they want to remember. ]
“Why are you giving this to me? My memory is already very good!”
[ System Divine Nine: you will use it eventually.]
“Alright. But Little Nine, you can now use the phrase ‘as the name suggests’. Not bad. As expected, you’re following the owner.”
[ System Divine Nine: host, who are you looking down on? I’ve been hanging out in your library all this time.]
Lauren Torres thought for a moment. So when the little fox was leaning on the book, it was actually reading!
Lauren Torres left her spiritual consciousness and returned to reality.
Bloody handprint?
When Lauren Torres heard these words, she thought there might have been a murder in the school. And the injured person had supported herself against the wall while she was escaping. So naturally, there was a bloody handprint.
This matter was within the scope of the police. What did it have to do with her? Could it be that a ghost was involved in this?
No matter what the story was, Lauren Torres had to complete the mission. Otherwise, all the rewards or abilities that she had received would be taken back.
Of course, this was also what she heard from Divine Nine.
She had never completed a mission behind time, so she had never received these punishments.
“This mission will take one month, but the difficulty is only two stars. Little Nine, why does the mission take so long this time? Previously, only three days were given for the two-star missions!”
[ System Divine Nine: host, aren’t you going to school nowadays? You don’t have much time. Thus I have specially asked my parent system to help you apply for a longer time. ]
“Really? Thank you so much, Little Nine.”
[ System Divine Nine: but this matter concerns all the students of Thomas Johnson High School. If there is a ghost causing trouble, then it’s best to resolve it as soon as possible. ]
Lauren Torres nodded. She agreed that what Little Nine had said made sense.
Thomas Johnson High School was an important high school. They probably wouldn’t suspend classes for too long.
Moreover, it should not be too difficult to find the owner of the bloody handprint.
The following day was Sunday, and Lauren Torres happened to be free. The students of Thomas Johnson High School had already left. Thus it would be the best time for an investigation.
However, she would definitely not be able to complete it on her own. She had too many restrictions in the mortal world. Not only did she have to complete the mission, but she also had to complete it without disrupting the rules and order of the mortal world.
Hence, Lauren Torres thought of the almighty Franklin Torres.
She tugged at Franklin Torres and gestured for him to move his ears closer.
“What’s the matter?” Franklin Torres looked at the crafty look in her eyes and knew that she was up to something.
“Brother, I’ve received a mission. I’m going to investigate the bloody handprint.”
Franklin Torres frowned.
“Bloody handprint? Is this also related to a ghost?”
Franklin Torres directly asked this question, forgetting Bryce Torres was around.
“Brother, what is it related to?”
Then only did Franklin Torres react and wave his hand. “Nothing.”
Then he pulled Lauren Torres to the other side of the sofa. The two of them began to “conspire”.
Bryce Torres looked at the two of them suspiciously.
“Tell me in detail. What happened?”
Lauren Torres blinked.
“Usually, the mission I received had to be related to a ghost. When elder brother mentioned the bloody handprint, I already had a mission in my mind.”
“The school has already lodged a police report. They will definitely be able to find out who did it.”
Even though Lauren Torres was safe from the danger in her previous mission, Franklin Torres still hoped Lauren Torres would grow up as a normal child, and not get involved in this matter.
“But there are things that the police can’t solve. If it weren’t for me, none of the previous cases could be solved. This case will definitely be the same. It must be a case that the people of the mortal world can’t solve that it’s handed over to me.”
As a person who coexisted in the underworld and the mortal world, this was her mission.
“Then what should we do? I have been very busy with my company lately. I can’t even go off.”
Franklin Torres furrowed his brows. Quinn Torres had also been very busy lately. He was not comfortable letting Lauren Torres complete the mission by herself.
“Don’t worry, Eldest Brother. Let’s first go to the police station to take a look. Maybe we can find some direct clues there. Mr. Carson and I have been to the police station many times before. This time, the two of us can go by ourselves. Eldest Brother, you just do your things.”
Lauren Torres was very sensible, and Franklin Torres could not refuse her.
Only then did Franklin Torres feel relieved.
