In other words, they were using Franklin’s life to exchange for Marlin’s.

The grief-stricken Zelda knew about this news and, as if he had been bewitched, agreed to this man’s request.

The man wanted to take away Marlin’s birth date and chart and some of the clothes he wore when he was alive. He chose a full moon day and performed a ritual in front of his grave.

Later, Zelda listened to his arrangements and entered the Torres family to work. The man then went into hiding for three years.

“I simply always listened to his instructions. I don’t know what’s going on with him.”

[ System Divine Nine: Very normal. After all, Zelda can’t see ghosts.. Her daily mission is probably just to switch the Horcrux on and off. Release the ghost at the right time and then take it back. ]

“Did you hide a small box in the Torres family? Every morning, this person would ask you to open the box. Where is this strange man now?”

Lauren’s mind was very clear. The real situation was not much different from what she had deduced.

“How do you know about this small box? Yes, he gave me a black box and told me to open it at 12 o’clock at night and close it at 1 o’clock in the morning.”

12 o’clock at night was when supernatural energy was at its peak. Presumably, this hour was used to absorb the supernatural energy.

However, it took three years for it to take action. This meant that the ghost behind it must have been severely injured three years ago, which was why it took so long to recover.

“But... last night, the man suddenly asked me to send the small box back. I put the box in the designated place this morning. It must have been taken away by now.”

“Then do you remember what that man looked like?” Franklin asked.

However, Lauren knew that this question was meaningless. Ghosts could attach themselves to people with evil thoughts or weak wills. In other words, this man could be any man on the street.

Therefore, all the clues about the instigator were lost.

[ System Divine Nine: Host, you don’t have to be too nervous. This ghost must be severely injured and can’t come out to do evil for the time being. During this period of time, we can learn more spells and talismans. Maybe we can even know what’s going on with the talisman that controls Marlin! ]

“Good! Master Lauren will not give up so easily!”

“I... I have confessed. Can I see my husband now?”

Lauren released Marlin’s soul from the soul storage box. Before releasing it, she even gave Marlin a haircut and changed his clothes.

After all, everything that Marlin had done in the past three years was controlled.

All of this should not be blamed on him.

Lauren stretched out her small hand, wiped Zelda’s eyes, and recited an incantation.

When she opened her eyes again, Zelda saw Marlin sitting next to her. He was as honest as he was three years ago.

“Is... is this really you, hubby?” The longing that Zelda had accumulated over the past three years suddenly exploded.

“I can’t see anything,” Franklin said calmly as he looked at Zelda, who was talking to the air opposite him.

“Of course you can’t see, Franklin. Lauren didn’t open her heavenly eye for you.”

[ Ding ]

[ System Divine Nine: Congratulations, host, Mission 2 has been completed and the reward has been given. ]

“Eh, but we haven’t caught the real evil ghost. Is this also a completed mission?”

[ System Divine Nine: although the one who wanted to hurt Franklin was “another ghost,” the one who acted was Marlin’s soul. Now that we have caught it, this mission is considered completed. ]

Suddenly, there was another [ Ding ] sound.

[ System Divine Nine: Congratulations, host, you have unlocked the first Hidden Mission: Find the ghost that is controlling Marlin and retrieve it. ]

[ Mission Difficulty: 4 stars ]

[ Time: no time limit ]

[ Mission Reward: a chance to “Rise from the dead”]

“You actually triggered a hidden mission!”

Lauren had been doing missions for so long, but he had never seen a hidden mission before.

[ System Divine Nine: The difficulty of this quest is 4-star. It seems that this ghost is a big boss. Moreover, the reward of this quest is also something that I, a 400-year-old system, rarely see. ]

“The opportunity to resurrect from the dead? Does that mean that no matter how the person has died, no matter what the reason is, Lauren can resurrect him?”

[ System Divine Nine: Yes. ]

“Wow, this reward is very good! But this quest is a four-star quest, and it’s without a time limit. Looks like this evil ghost is powerful!”

The door of reincarnation that belonged to Marlin was about to close soon. Zelda watched Marlin’s soul gradually turn transparent until it completely disappeared with tears in his eyes.

This matter could be considered to have temporarily come to an end. Franklin and Lauren were preparing to go home, but they did not expect Ben, who was standing behind them, to be crying so hard.

“What’s wrong with him?” Franklin asked suspiciously. Could it be that he was possessed by a ghost?

Lauren thought for a moment. “Oh, I forgot. Uncle Ben’s heavenly eye is still open. He just witnessed human-ghost romance in real life.”
