50: Her Driftwood

Her Driftwood

"Auntie, don't cry. I called you here today to help you."0

"I have a way to find out Lily's whereabouts."

Lauren opened the purple schoolbag. The things inside were neatly arranged, which showed Yulia's love and care.

Lauren took out the things inside one by one and placed them neatly on the white marble table.

There was a pencil case, a skirt, a princess toy, a furry little doll and a beautiful bow hairpin.

Although almost two years had passed and some of the items were old, they were still clean. Yulia must have cleaned them from time to time.

Lauren took out her aura cane.

Ben had seen this item once before, but he was still a little surprised when he saw Lauren's small body pick up such a long cane.

Lauren quickly drew a symbol in the air above the aura cane with her right hand. Then, she pointed the aura cane at the objects on the table.

Not long after, wisps of light appeared and intertwined around the aura cane.

The light was purple and white, with hints of green.

Lauren closed her eyes. Her lips moved as she silently chanted an incantation.

Of course, Yulia did not see any of this.

Yulia's emotions were already very unstable. If she were to see these things, she would probably go crazy.

The aura cane that had gathered Lily's aura moved on its own, pointing to the west for Lauren.

[System Divine Nine: The aura cane still has a reaction, which means that Lily is still alive.]

"Hmm, this is already good news. It's been two years and I'm really worried something tragic has happened to Lily."

Lauren stopped chanting and wiped her hand on the aura cane. The light around it suddenly disappeared.

The room returned to silence.

Lauren walked to the outside. Yulia was holding a glass of water and staring at the Crystal Lake in a daze.

"Auntie Yulia, I've seen it. Lily is still alive."

"Really? Lily...my Lily is still alive?"

Yulia was very excited. She grabbed Lauren's hand as if she was holding onto a life-saving straw.

"Yes, Auntie. I promise you that I will definitely find Lily! Don't worry, Auntie. Lily will definitely return to your side within a month."

Upon hearing this, Yulia immediately knelt down and held Lauren's hand tightly.

"You...can you really help me find my Lily?"

Lauren quickly helped Yulia up with Ben.

"I can give you all my savings. I'll give you anything you want as long as you can help me find Lily," Yulia said emotionally as she sat on the sofa.

For the past two years, everyone had told her that she had no chance to find Lily. But now, hope suddenly appeared. Although Lauren was such a young child, Yulia was still willing to believe her.

She had been floating on the sea alone for too long, and Lauren was her driftwood.

"Auntie Yulia, I don't want anything. I just want to ask you some questions."

"Okay, I will answer truthfully."

"After Lily disappeared, did you suspect anyone?"

Yulia shook her head. "We only moved to this city after Lily was born. The neighbors are very harmonious and never quarreled. I can't think of anyone who would do that. Besides, didn't the police say that Lily left alone?"

[System Divine Nine: Yulia used to be a kindergarten teacher, so her living environment is relatively simple. Lily's disappearance should have nothing to do with the people around her. Also, the person who took Lily away was a ghost. Logically speaking, Yulia definitely had nothing to do with this.]

"Yes...but we don't know whether the mastermind behind the female ghost is a human or a ghost. If it's a human, what if that person is also proficient in this? If It's a ghost, then why would the ghost want Lily? There are so many children, yet she chose Lily?"

Up until now, there was still no clue about this mission. Although the aura cane indicated that Lily's aura was still in this world, they did not know the exact location.

As for that little female ghost...

"Oh right, we can start with the little female ghost!"

[System Divine Nine: How do we start? We don't even know where that little female ghost is.]

Lauren bit her lip. She was stumped by System Divine Nine's question.

"Auntie Yulia, during the period before or after Lily disappeared, did you notice anything strange happening around you?"

Yulia's mental state was much better than before. Her eyes were no longer lifeless.
