Chapter 142: Mission Officially Began
After returning to the company, Franklin felt that the way the female employees looked at him had changed.
It was creepy.
He rubbed the back of his head and continued to work.
Since Ben was not allowed to go on this mission, he could only bring Lauren to the place specified by George.
“Miss Torres, you must be very careful. I’ll be waiting for you to come back. The roast duck at Everlasting Legacy is too delicious. You must bring me to eat it again.”
“Noted. Don’t worry about me, Mr. Carson. Please take good care of Mr. Hayes when I’m not around.”
She was worried that the old man would not be able to accept it, so she did not tell Mr. Hayes about the mission this time. She only told him that she wanted to go back to the church to visit her old friends.
According to her past experience, she could handle it in one night.
However, there were too many children involved this time. It might take a longer time than usual.
In order to create a scene where she was really kidnapped at the last minute, Lauren did not bring anything with her. Other than that small pink bag, which was her pocket dimension, Lauren did not bring anything with her.
She was worried that someone would take away her pocket dimension, so she deliberately applied a magical potion on the surface of the pocket dimension.
This potion was actually a kind of camouflage.
After applying it, the pocket dimension became a part of her clothes.
It was impossible for the people who abducted and sold her to take off her clothes as well.
Soon, they arrived at the appointed time and place.
Ben dropped Lauren off at a relatively secluded place.
George was already waiting there.
Lauren quickly pretended to be a victim and let George push her away. She even pretended to be unconscious.
“George, how long do we have to walk?”
George has been a ghost for so many years, and he had already traveled all over the city.
He estimated the time and said, “Probably more than half an hour by walking.”
“Half an hour is a long time. Why don’t we take a taxi there?”
George thought to himself, ‘Will this do?’
Lauren took George with her and got into a taxi.
Before they got out of the taxi, Lauren took out some cash from somewhere and paid for it.
They were worried that there would be people around the warehouse, so in order not to attract attention, they did not stop the taxi at the entrance of the warehouse. Instead, they alighted a few hundred meters away from the warehouse.
The last part of the journey was acted out according to the previous kidnapping cases.
Lauren was walking in front while George was pushing her from behind. The two of them walked for another ten minutes before they reached the entrance of the warehouse.
Unlike the last time, the door of the warehouse was open this time.
Lauren could not openly look around because she was currently playing the role of a child who had been kidnapped and had no consciousness of her own.
Therefore, she could only stand there with a distracted expression.
After putting Lauren there, George gently reminded Lauren of a few things before he left.
These ghosts did not have the chance to meet the person who gave them the mission. They simply left the children at the warehouse entrance and left.
[System Divine Nine: Host, the mission has really begun.]
“It should be said that the mission has finally begun. We’ve been waiting for almost twenty days. We’re finally going to close the case.”
[System Divine Nine: Yes, this mission is finally coming to an end.]
“Fortunately, I can still talk to you, System Divine Nine. Otherwise, I would be bored to death!”
Less than five minutes after George left, around four o’clock, a person walked out of the warehouse.
To be more specific, it was a slightly strange person. This person’s figure was clearly female, but his facial features and voice were all male.
She even had an Adam’s apple.
However, Lauren had already seen many strange things, so she was not surprised. She could only sigh to herself that there was indeed something wrong with the child abduction cases.
After the woman walked out, she first looked left and right to make sure that there was no one around before she pulled Lauren into the warehouse.
Previously, Lauren had already seen the interior of the warehouse through the butterfly mirror. The only difference was that there was now an extra cage in the warehouse.
This cage was not considered small. It was enough to hold an adult.
“Young girl, do you think this castle is pretty?”
The woman pointed at the cage and asked Lauren.
Her voice was very unpleasant and rough, as if her vocal cords had been burned.
