Five-Year Old Prophet is Pampered by Ten Brothers

Chapter 163 - Eternal Youth



Chapter 163: Eternal Youth

The sudden deaths of Pauline and Irene had left a lot of things unexplained.

For example, where did the other missing children go?

The number of cages in the basement definitely did not match the number of missing children. Could it be that the other missing children had really gone missing?

And where did Master Maverick’s long-lost curse come from?

How did Pauline and Irene die? Were they the only culprits? Was there no one else behind the scenes?

All the questions were now a mess in Lauren’s mind.

“Lauren, what are you thinking about? Why are you frowning?”

After leaving the police station, Franklin noticed that Lauren’s mood was obviously different from before.

“Hasn’t this matter already been resolved? Don’t think too much about it. Those children that were rescued have already been sent to the hospital.”

Lauren smiled and nodded. She did not want Franklin to worry either.

“I know, Franklin! I just feel that it’s very strange that Pauline and Irene suddenly died.”

She did not tell them about the doubts and guesses in her heart to avoid making them even more worried.

“Are we going home now? But I want to go to the hospital to see those children first.”

At this moment, Lauren suddenly remembered something.

She turned to Quinn, who was sitting next to her, and said, “Quinn, can you do me a favor? Ask those artistes from your company for the pendants. Those children need these pendants in order to wake up.”

Quinn nodded, indicating that he would take care of it.

“Pauline is only in charge of a dozen or so artistes, so there are not many pendants. But we have saved so many kids. What happened to the other kids’ pendants?”

Lauren shook her head, indicating that she did not know either. This was also one of the suspicious points that she was thinking about.

She did not rule out the possibility that some of the kids were used by Irene to preserve her youth.

Lauren had seen some information from the ancient books when she was trapped in the basement these two days.

Every time she saw Irene, Irene was wearing a very strong perfume. If Lauren guessed correctly, she was trying to cover up the stench on her body.

It was a method of preserving eternal youth created by evil men. These women made themselves young by eating food made from the placenta and some dead babies that died before the age of one.

However, there were some disadvantages to this method. First, the body would give off a bloody stench. Second, the placenta and the dead babies would also suck blood.

If the placenta and the dead babies failed to transcend successfully, they would become very evil things. They would continue to “live” by eating human blood. They were determined to stay in this world even if they had to attach to another person’s body.

The stench could be covered with perfume. It was not a big deal.

However, in order to prevent their blood from being sucked dry, some people would drink the blood of children while eating the placenta to ensure their safety.

This way, they could remain young and their blood would not be sucked dry.

Lauren thought that a portion of the children should have been used by Irene as a blood bank. As for the placenta and the dead babies, it was likely that Irene had some connections with some people in the hospital and she had bought them from these people.

The souls of these children must have been collectively sealed in a certain place.

They could only use soul-returning talismans to summon these souls back one by one.

Lauren shared her thoughts on Irene with her brothers and Ben in the car.

Ben was driving the car, he could not help but complained, “No way? Irene is actually such a person. It’s too disgusting and I actually talked to her?!”

Quinn was also disgusted.

“Using such a method to maintain her youth is too scary. Isn’t her husband afraid to lie beside her every day?”

When Lauren mentioned eating the placenta, Quinn almost vomited.

Franklin was calm and collected as usual. However, Lauren could also see the disgust and conflict in his eyes.

“Don’t worry. I’ll take care of the pendants.”

After this incident, Quinn seemed to have become a lot bolder.

At this moment, Ben’s phone rang. He took a look and saw that it was from Yulia Citra.

“Miss Torres, Lily’s mother is calling.”

A month ago, if she had not noticed Yulia at the amusement park, she would not have discovered such a big case.

Ben connected the bluetooth to the car, then he pressed the answer button. Following that, Yulia’s voice could be heard through the car’s stereo.

Unlike her usual depressed or calm voice, Yulia’s voice was filled with excitement this time.

“Hello, everyone.”

“Hello, Auntie Yulia!” Lauren called out loudly

“Hey, it’s great that you’re there, Lauren! I just received a call from the police saying that my daughter has been found. I’m rushing over to her right now.”
