Chapter 125: An Adventure
Even though Quinn had repeatedly rejected the mission and had even started behaving coquettishly like Lauren. in the end, apart from making Franklin felt disgusted, it was of no use to him.
“Franklin, you really don’t love me anymore. You actually asked me to put myself in danger just for the sake of a little girl like Lauren,” said Quinn.
Quinn had originally thought that his accusation would at least have some effect on Franklin.
After all, he and Franklin had been brothers for more than 20 years. However, to Quinn’s surprise, Franklin only nodded his head faintly after listening to him.
“That’s right. I’m asking you to put yourself in danger. That’s a good choice of words.”
‘Who asked you to comment on my choice of words!!’ he couldn’t help but protest in his mind.
Quinn was stunned. He wanted to cry, but couldn’t. In the end, he succumbed to the tyranny of Franklin and Lauren.
In truth, there was no tyranny involved. It was just that Lauren had promised Quinn that he could eat all the meat on the table next week.
Quinn agreed to the mission when he heard about the food.
Everyone was a foodie deep down.
Lauren returned to her room, but she did not fall asleep immediately.
She was still a little excited at the thought of going on an “adventure” the next day.
Though she had been stayed at the Torres family for the past two days, she had not been idling.
She went through all the missing case files that she had retrieved from the police station.
One of the girls who had gone missing recently had left a deep impression on her.
This little girl had gone missing half a year ago. Her name was Nancy Drew, and she was only four years old.
After she went missing, her father had gone crazy because he could not take the blow. Her mother had committed suicide by jumping off a building.
The whole family had been ruined because of this incident.
Lauren looked at the photo of Nancy, who was about the same age as her. Her emotions were complicated.
She and Quinn agreed on seven o’clock the next morning. It was a safer time since no one was at work at the Golden Star. After all, Quinn did not want to be discovered.
The two of them set off at around six o’clock in the morning, with Ben as the driver. When they arrived at the parking lot, Ben stayed in the car alone.
“Miss Torres, are you sure that you don’t need me to go with you?” Ben asked worriedly.
Although he was also afraid of these things, he had already done so many missions with Lauren, so he was used to being by her side.
“It’s okay, Mr. Carson. Too many people will attract attention.”
Quinn said that the basement floor was filled with danger, but he forgot how to get there.
Lauren and Quinn walked around the parking lot, but they could not find the right place.
“Do you know the way? We’ve been driving around for half an hour.”
Quinn scratched his head.
That shouldn’t be the case. He remembered that was the way Obmar had brought him around. Why was it that they could not get to the right place now?
“Let’s walk around again. I remember Obmar leading the way like this.”
Lauren had no choice but to follow Quinn around the parking lot with sleepy eyes. However, they still did not arrive at the right place.
At this moment, a possibility appeared in Lauren’s mind.
“Are you sure you know the way?”
“Of course I’m sure. I was pretty good in my academic performance when I was young, okay?”
Lauren was speechless.
What did this have to do with his grades when he was a kid?
If Quinn was sure that this was the correct route, then there was only one reason.
Someone had set up a formation here to prevent others from finding this place.
This kind of formation was actually very common. Some experts or reclusive tribes who did not want outsiders to disturb them would set up this kind of formation around them.
Once someone got close to this place, they would get lost. It was as if a ghost had built a wall that kept them from walking to the right place.
Looking at Quinn who was unwilling to admit defeat and still wanted to continue searching, Lauren hurriedly grabbed onto Quinn.
“Don’t look for it for now. We couldn’t find it earlier on, so it’s even more challenging to find it now.”
“Then what do you have in mind? Should we just go home?” Quinn suggested.
“You’re already here, so don’t go back empty-handed. You’re really a coward. Franklin mentioned that when you were my age, you didn’t even dare to go to the toilet by yourself.”
Quinn was stunned, he couldn’t believe that Franklin actually told Lauren about this.
How dare Franklin throw away his dignity like that!
“I just finished watching a mystery series that night! It was terrifying!” Quinn refuted weakly.
Lauren ignored him. Instead, she took out a blank talisman from her bag and placed it on the ground.
She looked around and saw that there was no water. This talisman needed to be written on using liquid.
“What…what are you doing? This is a public place. You’ll get caught if you do these weird things!”
“You’re a coward.”
