Chapter 302: Hidden Mission
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Before the police could ask any questions, Susan requested to meet with Ruby alone.
However, Lauren stopped her because she knew that Susan would not be able to get anything out of her.
What Ruby was doing now was not what she wanted to do.
Her motive for setting up this trap was very simple. She wanted to clear Susan’s name.
Since the surveillance video had clearly recorded that Ruby’s injuries were caused by herself, she had now completed her mission.
“Ding!” The system’s voice rang out in Lauren’s head.
[Host, congratulations on discovering the hidden mission.]
[Mission 6: Find out who caused Ruby’s injuries.]
Immediately afterward, it showed that mission 6 was completed.
[Mission 6 has been completed. Mission rewards: A dreamcatcher.]
A dreamcatcher? What was this? What was it used for?
Before Lauren could react, the system’s voice continued.
[Host, congratulations on discovering the hidden mission 7: Find out the truth about Ruby’s incident and recapture the ghost.]
[Mission rewards: Mute pill. The person who swallowed this pill will be silenced for 24 hours.]
[Mission time: 24 hours]
Lauren was speechless.
“The rewards these days are getting more and more unusual. Mute pill? What’s the use of that?”
Lauren shook her head and returned to reality.
Now that Lauren had figured out the truth, the only thing left in mission 7 was to extract Greta’s ghost from Ruby’s body.
Susan didn’t ask to see Ruby alone anymore, so another policeman went in to take Ruby’s statement.
A few minutes later the policeman came out with a book in his hand, looking a little frustrated. “This child is so stubborn. She won’t answer any questions I ask her.”
This was completely within Lauren’s expectations. She looked at Ruby through the one-way window.
“Officer, may I go in and give it a try? I’m more familiar with Ruby.”
The policeman nodded. “That would be great. You’re always full of ideas.”
However, Lauren made a request.
She hoped that her conversation with Ruby would be in an enclosed environment so that no one else could see it.
“Ah, but we need the transcript and the video. That’s the only way it’ll be effective.”
“It’s alright. What I said to Ruby won’t affect anything.”
They were already able to completely clear Susan’s name with the evidence they had so far.
Therefore, what Lauren was going to say was actually unimportant.
This young police officer wanted to make more records so that it would be easier for him to write a report when the time came. However, Lauren kept looking at him and refused to give in.
In the end, the police officer gave way.
“Alright, I’ll go and ask the Chief.”
As the Chief had more contact with Lauren, he knew that Lauren must have her own reasons after he learned of her request.
Moreover, the case had already been solved, so he agreed to it.
Therefore, Ruby was transferred to another room. There was no window in this room, only a door.
Lauren had already told Franklin about her speculation, so Franklin knew that the current Ruby was not Ruby, but another woman.
Before entering the room, he reminded Lauren to pay attention to her safety.
Lauren nodded. This time, she did not agree to let Franklin go in with her, because she was not sure what kind of ghost Greta was.
Logically speaking, Greta had been dead for less than a year, so her ghost should not have any abilities. However, she was able to hide in Ruby’s body for so long without being discovered by Lauren and Divine Nine, this meant that there was something unusual about this ghost.
Lauren was not sure if she had the ability to protect Franklin if he was with her. Therefore, it was better for her to face the ghost alone.
The police were unable to determine why Ruby wanted to hurt herself, so they secured Ruby’s hands to the chair with handcuffs to prevent her from doing anything drastic again.
When Ruby entered the room and saw Ruby sitting in her chair, she was looking as calm as ever.
She saw Lauren coming in, and just glanced at her before shifting her gaze elsewhere.
Greta was not an idiot. From the moment the police broke into the room, she knew that she was being watched.
When she saw Lauren enter the room, she was even more certain that Lauren had something to do with all of this.
