Chapter 181: Woke up
Chapter 181: Woke up
Franklin followed Tony to his office. The office was on the same floor and was only a short walk away. Lauren walked towards the washroom.
Lauren saw that there were police officers standing in front of every room. If she had not obtained Tony’s permission earlier, they would not have let Lauren in.
Lauren did not turn into the toilet. Instead, she walked to a secluded corner and took out a talisman from her pocket dimension.
She stuck the talisman on her head and something magical happened.
It was an invisibility talisman.
Lauren disappeared.
Lauren, who was invisible, tiptoed to the middle of the corridor. Although her physical body had disappeared, she could still make a sound, so she had to be careful not to attract attention.
She found Lily’s room.
When she was checking the pendant, she realized that Lily was one of the children who had been turned into a living dead person and had their souls trapped in the pendant.
Perhaps it was because it was late at night, the police officers were a little tired. They were leaning against the wall with their eyes slightly closed, as if they were resting.
Lauren’s invisibility ability could only last for one minute, so she had no choice but to speed up her movements. She placed her hand on the door handle and gently opened the door. The door still made a sound, but fortunately, it did not attract any attention.
After she entered, she gently closed the door.
Since these children were not seriously injured, they did not stay in a single ward. There were a total of eight people in this ward, and the ward was very clean and tidy.
The children were all lying on the bed. Everyone of them was very thin, and they occupied less than half of their own bed.
Lauren looked at the name in front of the bed and found Lily’s bed.
Just as Yulia had said, Lily was a very cute girl.
However, Lily, who was lying on the bed, looked like a completely different person compared to what she had seen in the photos.
Lily was now very skinny, and her face was a little dark. Lauren guessed that this was because Lily’s vitality had been sucked out for a long time.
One minute had already passed, and Lauren Torres had appeared again.
She took out the pendant that belonged to Lily from her pocket dimension and then took out the soul-returning talisman.
She placed the soul-returning talisman on the table by the bed, then pressed the pendant on it and began to chant.
This time, Lauren had already improved the soul-returning talisman.
The soul that was summoned through this soul-returning talisman had a color.
Just like now, she had just finished reciting the incantation when she saw a wisp of green smoke drifting out from the pendant.
As Lauren recited the incantation, the wisp of green smoke drifted to the air above Lily. Then, the wisp of smoke burst out in all directions like fireworks and disappeared.
After she finished reciting the incantation, the soul-returning charm on the table also disappeared.
The pendant turned back into a very ordinary pendant. The luster on it had disappeared.
The reason why Lauren improved the talisman was to be able to see the situation of the soul more directly.
Now that Lily’s soul had returned to her physical body, Lauren knew that there was no problem.
After the soul returned to the physical body, the physical body needed a period of time to re-accept the soul. Therefore, after waiting for about a minute, Lauren noticed that Lily’s blackened face was gradually returning to normal.
Although she still looked very weak, her condition was much better. The dark color on her face had slowly faded away.
After a few seconds, Lily opened her eyes.
She woke up.
The failed scenario that Lauren had imagined did not happen, but there was a problem. Why was Lily crying the moment she woke up?!
And she was crying so loudly. Hadn’t she not eaten for a long time?
Lauren was at a loss of what to do.
Lily’s cries were initially hoarse, but they became louder and louder. It was as if she was going to cry out all the tears that she had not cried out for the past two years.
The security guard outside the door immediately came in upon hearing the cries.
Lauren could not hide in time. She could only stand awkwardly by the bed and look at the security guard who had barged in in surprise and Lily who was sitting on the bed bawling her eyes out.
This incident quickly alerted the director, who was in his office.
“What? The child is crying?”
Tony quickly put on his white coat and stood up. Franklin saw that things were not looking good, so he followed closely behind. The two of them followed the police to the ward where Lily was. Sure enough, they saw the scene exactly as what the security guard had described.
Lily was bawling her eyes out.
However, it did not affect the other children.
The other children were still lying quietly on the bed with their eyes closed as usual.
