Chapter 147: Aunt Irene?
The other children in this room must be in the same situation.
Lauren then looked at the second room. It was the same in the second room. In fact, it was even worse than the first room. There were more cages piled up here, so densely packed that she could not even count them.
The other rooms were the same. The only empty room was where Lauren was in.
After looking through all the rooms, Lauren felt a little lost.
There were so many children. It would be impossible for them to regain consciousness now, as it would take too much time, not to mention that it would take even longer for the living dead to return fully to life.
So, she had to rescue the children and bring them to a safe place first before they could slowly consider her next move.
Just as Lauren was counting the number of cages in the basement to see if they matched the number in the files, the sound of footsteps and voices suddenly came from the entrance of the basement.
Lauren could recognize that it was Irene’s voice.
“Why are there lights on in the basement?”
Lauren quickly ran back to her room and locked the door. Then, she crawled back into the cage and locked the door of the cage as well.
She pressed down on the lighter-like object and all the lights in the room were retracted.
In an instant, the basement turned pitch-black again.
At that moment, the basement door opened and the sound of Irene’s high heels reverberated in the basement.
From the sound of the footsteps, Lauren could tell that Irene was not the only one who came.
“Why are there no lights again? Did I see wrongly just now?”
“Maybe. Aunt Irene, you must have been under too much pressure recently.”
Aunt Irene?
Lauren frowned.
The person who had come was actually Irene’s niece?
“Yes, there have been a lot of things recently. I guarantee that you’ll be satisfied with the child I’ve found for you this time. The effects of this child will definitely be better than the previous ones.”
“Really? That’s worth two million after all.”
Lauren did not know if it was just her imagination, but she felt that the voice of Irene’s niece was a little familiar. However, she could not remember whose voice it was.
“It’s in this room. Let’s go in and take a look.”
In the next second, the door to Lauren’s room opened.
Lauren could not see who it was. She only saw two pairs of legs. One pair was definitely Irene’s legs and she was wearing red high heels.
The other pair of legs was wearing simple pants and sports shoes.
‘Please squat down, please squat down,’ Lauren silently recited in her heart.
However, to Lauren’s disappointment, the two of them never squatted down.
“It’s actually this little girl?”
The person who was Irene’s niece asked in surprise.
“Why? Do you know her?”
“I’m not sure if it’s the same person. I’ve only met her once.”
“Whether we know each other or not, there’s no turning back. After all, we’ve already paid for her.”
“Okay.”
This woman had seen Lauren before?
Who was she?
Just as Lauren was feeling puzzled, the two of them had already pushed open the door and left the room.
Lauren raised her head. Unfortunately, she did not have x-ray vision, so she could not see through the door to see who the other woman was.
“By the way, there are a few pendants that will be three months old tomorrow. We need to bring them here to continue absorbing the kids’ essence.”
“Sure, I’ll inform the master to come over tomorrow.”
Lauren could tell from their voices that the two women had stayed in the room for a while before leaving.
Lauren had no choice but to wait for their next move.
Based on the conversation between the two women, she could tell that they would definitely come back tomorrow.
They would also be performing some rituals.
If Lauren was able to sneak a peek, she might be able to find out how they managed to turn these children into this state.
During this period of time, Lauren went into her magic library to search for more information about the living dead.
Every place had a different method of producing the living dead, so the method of deciphering it was also different.
Lauren did not know how the master hired by Irene worked, so she did not dare to act rashly, lest it backfired.
Just as Lauren was racking her brains to prepare for her next move, Quinn was lying on his soft cozy bed, preparing to sleep, but he was restless.
