Chapter 86: Delirium

Lauren tried her best to stand on tiptoes. Half of her head and a pair of big round eyes appeared in front of her desk.

“I remembered this young lady. Is she the owner of the amusement park?”

Lauren nodded vigorously. “Yes, it’s me!”

The police understood as Franklin had already informed them. Thus, as long as there was no danger, they would do their best to satisfy Lauren’s request.

It was just an old man, so it shouldn’t be too dangerous. He got Lauren to sign on a piece of document and then brought her to the interrogation room.

“Let me first explain the situation to you. We only managed to track down this old man’s home address this morning. His name is Aloysius Arlando, and he’s 70 years old this year. He has a wife, but when we went over this morning, we found that his wife had already been dead for a day.”

Lauren thought of that old lady and felt a little sad.

“How did that old lady die?”

“The medical examiner has checked. It wasn’t him who killed her, and there wasn’t any fatal illness either. It should be that the old lady died of natural causes. She probably didn’t catch her breath for a moment. However, it’s also strange. His wife was only sixty-five years old. Logically speaking, she should still be in good health.”

“One thing is very strange. When the old woman was discovered, her face was extremely dark. The neighbors said that they saw the old woman the day before yesterday. She was looking quite good. But the forensic doctor didn’t find anything and he could only conclude that she died of natural causes.”

The police officer shook his head. After being in this line of work for a long time, he had encountered all kinds of strange things.

He had kind of got used to it.

“Aloysius Arlando’s condition isn’t very good. Sometimes he’s lucid, sometimes he’s confused, and his mind isn’t clear. We basically can’t ask him anything. In order to avoid any harm, we have him under control.”

“Don’t they have children? I remember that they said that their son is out of town.”

“Son? They do have a son, but he passed away four years ago because of liver cancer. Now they only have a granddaughter, who is twenty-three years old. I’ve already informed her to rush over today.”

‘He passed away? Does that mean that when they were chatting with me, they have already been possessed by a ghost? That was why they were talking nonsense and their memories were in a mess,’ Lauren thought to herself.

As they spoke, they had already walked to the door of the interrogation room. Through the glass window, Lauren could see the old man.

He was currently mumbling to himself. His eyes were empty and his hands were tied to the chair.

“Officer, can I go in alone?”

“Miss Torres, this…let me go in with you?”

After staying with Lauren for so many days, Ben had long considered protecting and taking care of Laure his biggest task.

Lauren shook her head.

The reason Aloysius was delirious was very likely that he was still haunted by ghosts. With them around, it was not easy for her to cast her spell.

The police hesitated for a moment before agreeing. Two more people were arranged at the door to protect her.

Lauren gave Ben a new task.

“Mr. Carson, when I go in later, talk to the police officers and try to distract them. Don’t let them notice what’s happening inside.”

“This…why?”

“I suspect that the old man has been possessed by a ghost. Maybe it’s the little ghost in the surveillance footage.”

Ben raised his head in fear and looked at the old man.

After listening to Lauren, Ben could sense the negative energy emanating from the old man’s body through the glass window.

Of course, this could also be due to his psychological misgivings.

Since there was a ghost, then…let Lauren go in by herself as he was afraid!

“No problem, Miss Torres. I’ll divert their attention.”

Lauren went in and sat opposite Aloysius Arlando.

Aloysius did not react when he saw Lauren enter. His eyes were still cloudy and his gaze was unfocused. No one knew where he was looking.

“Do you remember me? I’m Lauren.”

Aloysius reacted when he heard the voice. He turned his head to look for the source of the voice.

“Who are you?”

“I’m Lauren. We met at the amusement park. At that time, you were still with your wife, and both of you even praised me for being cute.”

“I’ve never seen you before! I’ve never seen you before!”

“Where’s my wife! Where’s my old lady!” His reaction was a little strong when the old lady was mentioned.

[System Divine Nine: Host, I can feel that there is indeed an aura on this old man’s body that doesn’t belong to him. However, this aura isn’t very strong, and he doesn’t seem to be possessed by a ghost at the moment.]

“Yeah, I have also sensed it.. These ghosts would usually take advantage of those people with weak bodies or weak willpower, entering their weak bodies to do evil things.”
