Chapter 84: Lauren’s Dream

Lauren could not believe that this was a coincidence.

“Lauren, these parents really want to know if their children are still alive. You asked me to bring Lily’s personal belongings the last time, and sensed that Lily was still alive.”

“After they heard this, they really want you to take a look. Is that okay?”

If it was the same group of people who had kidnapped the children, Lauren was almost certain that these children were still alive.

When she saw the yearning eyes of these parents, she could not bear to refuse. They looked as if they had suddenly seen an oasis after walking in the desert for many years.

“Yes, I’ll help you later.”

Following that, Lauren asked them a few more questions, and they all answered one by one.

From the stories of these few people, Lauren captured some common points.

For example, their children were either lost on their own, just like in Lily’s situation; or they inexplicably disappeared into thin air in the surveillance cameras.

The police were also puzzled, so these cases were still pending. After Lauren understood the general situation, she was quite confident of her speculations.

“Mr. Carson, please go to the police station and get the surveillance footage on those days these children went missing.”

Seeing was believing. It would be easier to tell whether Lauren’s speculations were correct after she looked at the surveillance footage.

The mothers had just finished talking about their sad stories and were now sobbing quietly. Lauren accompanied them silently.

The sunlight shone in from the window. Looking out from the clean glass window of the cafe, one could see the gate of the kindergarten.

There were three or four security guards standing at the gate of the kindergarten. Irene had told Lauren that because of these missing cases, they had increased the number of security guards and had been taking turns to guard it.

Lauren shook her head gently. If it was really a ghost, how could these security guards be able to stop it?

Suddenly, a few people in suits appeared at the gate. Then, Irene came out to open the door for them.

“Auntie Yulia, do you think that is Miss Irene Pulver the Principal?”

Yulia was comforting a female parent that she was more familiar with. When she heard Lauren’s question, she raised her head to take a look.

“Oh, yes. Miss Pulver has been preparing to open a new kindergarten recently. The few people in suits are all from the education bureau. They’ve been coming here quite frequently lately.”

While they were talking on this topic, the parent that Yulia was consoling spoke up. Her voice was still trembling.

“Opening a new kindergarten? Then what about here? Are they going to stop operating here? What about my child? If this place is going to be demolished, won’t there be no clues left?”

“Sigh, I don’t know either. Miss Pulver said that this place might be unlucky. If such things keep happening, the kindergarten won’t be able to continue.”

Lauren turned her gaze back to the mothers. “After your children went missing, did the kindergarten have any reaction?”

All the parents shook their heads.

“Although the children were lost near the kindergarten, it has nothing to do with the kindergarten. The police investigated and said that it was the child’s own problem.”

“However, those teachers took the blame and resigned.”

After sitting in the cafe for the whole morning, every parent told Lauren about their situation.

To the outsiders, it might seem unbelievable. Why would these parents place their hopes on Lauren?

She was just four-and-a-half-year-old. But to these parents, Lauren was their only hope.

Even if it was very slim, they still had to grab any opportunities to find their children.

There were no clues to these missing cases at all. Even the police could not do anything about it, so it was even harder for them to find their children on their own.

They had no choice but to blindly trust Lauren.

Following that, in the private room of the cafe, Lauren used the aura cane to help her detect the essence of the children. As expected, the aura cane was pointing in the same direction as it did for Lily.

This meant two things, which were the children were still alive, and it was very likely that they were with Lily.

After explaining the situation to the parents, they cried and begged Lauren to find their children.

Lauren had no choice but to agree.

[System Divine Nine: Host, although none of the previous missions have failed, we have already spent too much time on this mission. What if…]

Lauren knew what System Divine Nine was about to say.

What if the mission failed? What if she really could not find these children?

However, Lauren was unwilling to think about this ‘what if’ right now.

Not to mention the nature of the mission itself, even if the time limit of the mission was exceeded, she would definitely continue to investigate.

This was the biggest reason why she had agreed to be the Host back then. It was not for the rewards and honor, but to continuously help one person after another.
