Chapter 68: Dentia
Lauren frowned as she flipped through the information on the ten children. She even went into her magic library to flip through the books when she saw certain places.
System Divine Nine, who was lying comfortably in his spiritual world, was woken up when he saw Lauren busy moving in and out.
[System Divine Nine: Host, why are you walking around? You’re disturbing my sleep!]
“You’re just a system, you don’t have to sleep!”
[System Divine Nine: I don’t care! I just want to sleep! It’s so comfortable lying down.]
Lauren didn’t have ti to argue with System Divine Nine right now. She had discovered sothing strange.
“System Divine Nine, look at these teenagers who went missing, their case files all show that they are sick.”
[System Divine Nine: Sick? What kind of illness?]
“These are all professional dical terms. I just went into the library to check so. Although these teenagers have different illnesses, they all have the sa symptom, which is dentia.”
[System Divine Nine: Dentia?]
“Yes, their intelligence doesn’t grow with age, but stays at a certain period of their childhood. For example, this 14-year-old boy, when he went missing, his intelligence was only three years old.”
“As for the other people, their intelligence is only four or five years old on average.”
[System Divine Nine: Then this explains the problem you just raised. Logically speaking, older children should be able to find their way ho on their own and wouldn’t go missing for no reason.]
Lauren nodded. If these missing teenagers were all ntally handicapped, then it was understandable that they got lost.
Lauren looked at the thick pile of docunts and thought to herself, ‘Could these missing cases really be related to Lily’s case?’
As she thought about it, she lay on the bed and fell asleep.
The Torres family’s mansion.
It was only past seven o’clock, but Franklin and Quinn were already sitting in the living room eating breakfast.
“Are you going to shoot a comrcial today?”
“Yes, we’re in a film studio on the west side of the city. We’re going to record so advertising slogans today and practice so moves. We’ll officially start filming tomorrow.”
As he had an appointnt, Quinn specially dressed for the occasion today, making him look even more dazzling.
After putting on his mask, sunglasses and hat, Quinn left the house. The agency sent a car to pick him up, and his agent, Paul Walker, was also in the car.
He had only t Paul Walker after returning to the country. The two of them were still not very familiar with each other, but according to the agency, Paul was the most experienced agent in the company. He had brought fa to many celebrities of the new generation, so they had specially arranged him for Quinn.
Paul was also very hardworking. He had only returned to the US for two or three days, but he had already arranged an advertisent job for him.
Moreover, there was no need for an audition, because this advertisent was specially tailored for him by his investors.
This was a great opportunity, so Quinn naturally had to seize it.
“Today, we will record a segnt of the advertisent, just two or three sentences. It’s very simple. The main focus will be the rehearsal of the movents. The danger factor of the movents will be relatively high this ti. You will need to be hung on a wire rope, where you’ll be required to complete a series of movents while on it. We have hired the most professional martial arts coach to teach you, so you don’t have to worry too much.”
Quinn nodded and morized the few lines of the advertising slogan that he had to say.
Upon arriving at the filming location, Quinn started working. After going through the advertising slogan, it was ti to learn the movents.
Quinn had never been on a wire rope before. When he was working overseas, he usually worked as a model. Even when he accepted advertisent jobs, all he had to do was show face. There was no need for him to do anything.
Therefore, these new movents were very difficult for him, especially since he was relatively tall. It was difficult for him to maintain his balance while hanging on the wire rope in the sky. Therefore, it took a long ti to practice each movent.
While Quinn was working hard, Franklin on the other hand, who used to work hard, was neglecting his job.
Under his instructions, all the case files were sent to Franklin overnight, and he received these docunts early in the morning. He initially wanted to send them to Lauren after work, but he decided to take them earlier to see if Lauren would be pleasantly surprised.
So, after breakfast, he took the docunts and went straight to Dream Villa.
It would take an hour to drive to Dream Villa. During this ti, Franklin kept receiving work calls.
He had inford Ben in advance, so when he arrived, Ben was already waiting at the entrance.
“Miss Torres is having breakfast. I didn’t tell her that you were coming over so that she wouldn’t run away without eating breakfast. When the ti cos, please give in to her. Whatever she wants, just do it. Miss Torres is a person who can be coaxed but not coerced.”
