Perhaps plans can never keep up with changes, and night has fallen.

The servants in the villa began to disappear, and the electronic equipment began to malfunction, making it impossible to contact the outside world. Those who went out never came back, and for a time, everyone was in a panic.

Hiltemia was also trapped here and he couldn't leave, so the so-called plan to take Jizhe away in two days was never accomplished. His greatest interest now was to tease Jizhe at the dinner table every day, then be ridiculed by Hitton and then refute him, and he never got tired of it.

Just like now——

Hiltemia smiled and pushed the small dessert at hand to Jizhe, "Come, baby, eat this~"

He still liked to wear those gorgeous long dresses, and sometimes wore white lace gloves. Ji Zhe saw that there was some cream on the fluttering lace bow.

Ji Zhe remained silent.

Heaton exploded. He slammed the table hard and said, "You're talking while eating? Is it you who doesn't have a mouth or he who doesn't have hands?"

Hiltemia wiped the cream off her sleeves and replied nonchalantly, "Hey, don't be so irritable all the time. You'll scare our Xiaozhe."

Ji Zhe didn't pay attention to what they said. He stirred the cake on the plate, mixing the cream and bread together, just like Ji Zhe's current mood.

"The current situation is obviously not optimistic, why are they still the same as before? So many people have disappeared."

Ji Zhe really didn't understand. He remembered that there was a period of time before when Heaton was still very cautious.

------

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Ji Zhe was awakened by a violent knock on the door. He rubbed his sleepy eyes, sat up, and went to open the door muttering.

"Shen Guan??"

Ji Zhe had many things to ask him, but Shen Guan didn't look very good. There were two bloodstains on his face with high eyebrows, and his clothes were stained with a lot of dust. The dried blood was faintly black, and he looked very embarrassed. He was breathing heavily, and his strong hands grabbed Ji Zhe's arm.

"Hurry, follow me!"

Ji Zhe didn't have time to ask anything before he was led out by Shen Guan;

"Hu-hu-"

The castle was very big, and Ji Zhe didn’t know how long he had been running. He was gasping for breath and felt like his lungs were burning.

Shen Guan felt that the people behind him were moving slower and slower, and couldn't help but urge them, "We have to hurry up, we have to get out quickly, hold on a little longer."

"No, I can't. I really can't run anymore."

Ji Zhe weakly let go of Shen Guan's hand. His fair little face was extremely red at this moment. Sweat wet his black hair hanging on his cheeks, sticking to his face wetly. His small nose tip was also wet.

Shen Guan opened his mouth, looked at his clothes covered in dust and blood, and finally compromised: "Okay, then let's find a place to hide first."

Shen Guan was still very calm. He took Ji Zhe and hid in a small room that looked like it had not been opened for a long time. There was a lot of dust inside. Shen Guan took off his coat and spread the clean side of it on the bed. He let Ji Zhe sit down and rest, while he observed the surroundings through the crack in the door.

Ji Zhe was very embarrassed at first, thinking that it was not appropriate to sit on someone else's clothes like this, but seeing that Shen Guan didn't care, he directly pushed him onto the bed.

Ji Zhe: Well then, he is really tired.

"What on earth happened?" Ji Zhe sat on the bed, pinching his calf, and asked puzzledly, why did she suddenly appear and drag him away.

"Jonathan showed up," Shen Guan looked around and didn't see anyone following him, so he breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at Ji Zhe very seriously, "I know this is hard to believe, but..."

"I know," Ji Zhe interrupted him, but he also looked at Shen Guan seriously, "I've seen him."

"What?!" Shen Guan was very surprised. When they met Jonathan, they were chased by the servants controlled by him. Those people had some power that made them immortal. At first, the players were afraid to really do it, until one of them was eaten by them. Then they realized that these things were no longer human.

Shen Guan accidentally heard Ji Zhe's name from Jonathan, so he ran into the castle in a hurry to rescue Ji Zhe, but Ji Zhe said that he had seen Jonathan, which made Shen Guan very worried: "Are you injured anywhere? Did he hurt you?"

Shen Guan hurriedly asked Xiang Jizhe.

Ji Zhe shook his head: "That's not the case, but he did want to kill me at that time."

"That's good." Shen Guan felt relieved after hearing Ji Zhe say that, but he was still confused. "Then how did you get out?"

"It was Lawrence who saved me," Ji Zhe recalled the scene at that time, still feeling frightened, "Luckily he was there."

"Lawrence...is that the butler?"

"Yeah," Ji Zhe replied, "It's him."

It seems that even the butler is an important character among the NPCs living in Howard Castle, Shen Guan thought to himself.
