Novel Full Chapter 102 - Became The Host
Even Seven, who had always played with her, did not show his face during those three days. The only person who took care of Lauren was a young woman in a nun's habit.
Three days later, when Lauren was playing on the swing in the backyard, Seven walked over with a complicated expression on his face. He looked both happy and worried.
"I didn't expect you to be chosen. Sigh, there will be both happiness and danger in the days to come. You have to persevere, Lauren!"
Lauren too busy playing on the swing and did not have much of a reaction to Seven's words at that time. She just thought that he was spouting nonsense. It was not until Elder David came looking for her that Lauren realized what kind of fate she was facing.
"Lauren, so far, eight people have been chosen from all over the world. They come from different countries and are now in different countries as well."
Elder David's beard had always been white, and its length was always the same. Lauren had once wondered if he had used a ruler to cut his beard.
At just over two years old, her comprehension was excellent and she could understand everything Elder David said.
"You are not the first person to be selected from our country. Those who were previously selected all failed their aptitude. But you, you passed every test. Now, it's up to you. Are you willing to become a Host?"
David's words seemed to carry a reassuring aura. He spoke neither too fast nor too slowly. His tone was very normal, even though he was talking about such an important matter.
He sounded as if he was just asking Lauren if she wanted to participate in the spring outing.
Lauren bit her finger and asked Elder David, "What do I have to do as a Host?"
In the next hour, David briefed Lauren on the main responsibility of a Host. Lauren thought about it for a few minutes and agreed.
Lauren was quietly reminiscing when Ben's question suddenly brought Lauren back to reality.
"Miss Torres, you're really brave! You're learning these ghost-hunting things."
"Aren't you afraid?"
Afraid?
Yes, she was afraid.
But if everyone was afraid, then who would solve the problem?
There was nothing special about what happened after that.
After becoming the Host, Lauren got to know the System Divine Nine and the existence of Divine 1 all the way to Divine 8.
Lauren was the youngest Host, and Divine 9 was also the youngest system.
The two of them had been fighting monsters together for more than two years. They grew up together and they were already inseparable.
"I was afraid at the beginning, but subsequently I am not afraid. There's nothing special about it," Lauren said nonchalantly.
Nothing special?
Ben saw people on the roadside as he drove. Some people were crossing the road with their heads lowered, playing with their phones. Some people were eating happily at roadside stalls, while others were selling water.
These were the things that were nothing special.
'Lauren's experience could be written into a fairy tale,' Ben thought.
"Eh? Where's George?"
She only noticed that George's spirit was not in the car when she was busy telling Ben about her plans and reminiscing about the past.
"Here."
Ben used his mouth to point out of the car window. Lauren looked at the side of the road and saw George's spirit following their car. He looked happy as he followed them, he also walked around the side of the road as if he was traveling.
Looking at this, Lauren took out the soul storage device from the pocket dimension and released the ghosts that they had caught previously.
However, they were all covered in the same red talisman paper.
"You guys must be bored after holding it in for so long, right? Go out and hang out with George. However, come back and look for me before seven o'clock! Otherwise, I will be angry and the consequences will be very serious!"
There were elderly and children among the ghosts. Upon hearing Lauren's words, they all nodded in agreement.
"Don't worry, we will definitely abide by the rules," a long-haired female ghost agreed.
Lauren nodded. A group of ghosts floated out of the open car window and gathered together with George.
"Miss Torres, we've worked so hard to catch them and bring them back. If we let them out, will they do something bad again?"
In the human world, April was over and the peach blossoms in the mountain began to bloom.
The trees by the roadside had long sprouted new shoots and turned tender green, decorating the streets.
A group of ghosts dressed in different clothes was busy exploring. When they met a child blowing bubbles, they wanted to stop and take a look at bubbles. When they saw the flowers on the branches, they also wanted to take a sniff.
Actually, if they were not ghosts, they would definitely be a group of cute people.
"No, they won't. They have been in the soul storage device for so many hours. Their abilities have long been suppressed by the soul storage device."
"They can only float outside now."
Lauren closed the car window and drowned out the noise outside.
"Let's go! It's time to go home!"
