When Ji Zhe woke up, he was in his own room. For a moment, he thought he had never left the room and that all the horrible things he had seen were just dreams.

But the strong smell of blood reminded him that it was all real.

He was knocked unconscious by Heaton and brought back to the room. He was not tied up, but he didn't dare to go out.

Ji Zhe curled up against the bed, hugged his knees with his hands, and buried his head tightly in them. His whole body was trembling. The room was well soundproofed, and he could not hear what was happening outside.

In the dark night, except for the ticking of the clock and the rustling of leaves outside the window, everything around was silent.

"Why are you helping us?" Shen Guan covered his arm, blood kept oozing out from between his fingers. He didn't care, just stared at the man in front of him, his tone full of questioning.

Heaton's condition was not good at this time. He was pale and blood had soaked through his clothes. He didn't seem to care. When he heard Shen Guan's words, he sneered as if he had heard something extremely ridiculous.

"Help you? You are so shameless!"

He glanced at Shen Guan, then slowly looked towards the second floor. He didn't know what he was looking at, and slowly said, "Jonathan made a deal with the devil. He will never die. After his current host dies, he will find another young body that suits his interests within a certain period of time. This body must have a high degree of blood relationship with his previous host."

"After so many years," Heaton's deep eyes suddenly turned bloodshot, like a man-eating devil from hell, emitting danger like the abyss, "I thought he had given up long ago after failing so many times; but I didn't expect that he still hasn't given up."

The players were stunned by what they heard. They had tried various methods and channels to get information about Howard Manor before entering the dungeon, but the most complete information they had was that Jonathan, who had died in the next few days, would appear as a ghost and obstruct the players from completing their tasks. There was no explanation for the reason, nor was there any mention of Heaton coming to "help".

What happened? Why is the plot going seriously wrong?

Shen Guan followed Heaton's gaze and looked upstairs, but he could not see anything but a dark corridor. However, Shen Guan felt that he must be looking at Ji Zhe's room.

"What do you need us to do?"

Xidon glanced at him in surprise, but when he noticed the deep meaning in Shen Guan's eyes, his face darkened inexplicably. "You agreed very quickly," he pulled his body, his tone full of disdain, "When I trap him, you just stab this thing into his body."

He threw a wrapped object over, Shen Guan picked it up, and after opening it, he found that it was an object that looked like a silver cross, but a cross would have one side longer than the other, while this thing had all four ends the same length.

Shen Guan weighed it and felt that it was too light. He couldn't help but ask, "Is that it?"

How could such a small thing kill Jonathan?

He couldn't help but look towards the hall. Jonathan controlled all the servants to attack the players. In this battle, they even lost two players. And now, with just such a thing, could Jonathan really be hurt?

Hearing this, Xidon looked at the item in Shen Guan's hand and chuckled, "You can try scratching it on your hand to see if it will suck all your blood dry."

After hearing Heaton's ridicule, Shen Guan could more or less guess what this thing was——————

The Blood Sacrifice Cross is a being that will suck the blood of living things dry as soon as it comes into contact with them. If it attaches itself to a dead object, it will also absorb the power of the dead object until it is exhausted.

"I understand," Shen Guanqing held the blood sacrifice cross, "but how do we find Jonathan?"

Xidon's eyes became darker and darker. "Why not lure him out with what he wants?"

What I want... Shen Guan repeated it silently in his heart, but the next second, he thought of the answer.

He looked at Xidon in disbelief and shouted at him, "You asked Jizhe to lure him out? Do you know how dangerous this is!"

After getting a positive answer from Heaton, Shen Guan rushed to the second floor, leaving a sentence in the air, "Didn't you think about what would happen to Ji Zhe!"

Xidon looked at Shen Guan's back and laughed secretly in his heart. Here, the person who least wanted Ji Zhe to get into trouble was probably his "father".
