Chapter 102: Chapter 102: Alarm Chapter 102: Chapter 102: Alarm The faint glow of the bloodstone illuminated the space with an unsettling crimson hue. Ronald squinted, looking around. “Where is she?” Jake moved further into the room, his gaze scanning every shadow, every corner. But there was no sign of Su Jiyai, only the lingering echo of her cries, which had suddenly ceased. “She has to be here somewhere,” Jake muttered, frustration growing in his voice. Unbeknownst to them, Su Jiyai entered the room after them. Just five minutes ago, Su Jiyai asked whether the system could transmit her crying voices on the other side of the door, such that three vampires have the illusion that she was inside the chambers. Once the third vampire prince opened the door she planned to enter the room with him. In the end, her plan worked and the three vampires were again tricked. [Host how did you come up with such a brilliant strategy?] “I don’t know, for some reason I feel as if my brain is refreshed!” Su Jiyai says in a happy voice. “Anyways, now continue to transmit my voice from the Third Vampire Prince’s safety lock. No! Wait! Transmit the sound of a cat trying to hold her breath. And you are still hiding my heartbeat as I had asked, right? Also, transmit the sound of my heartbeat too!” [Yes host. Transmitting the voice…Done.] Just as the third Vampire prince stood in the room, his sharp senses tingled. He felt something wasn’t quite right. As the eerie silence was broken by the faint sound of a cat struggling to hold its breath, he narrowed his eyes. The Third Vampire Prince’s fingers twitched. “This doesn’t make sense. The sound is coming from the safety lock,” he said, walking towards the large, ornate chest where he stored important documents and artifacts, including the scroll Su Jiyai was after. Ronald and Jake exchanged glances, uncertain, but they followed behind. As they approached the chest, the prince suddenly paused, his vampire senses picking up another faint sound—a heartbeat. It was soft, almost undetectable, but it was there. “She’s in here,” he muttered, his gaze darkening. Ronald frowned. “But how? There’s no way for her to—” “Silence.” The prince raised his hand, cutting Ronald off. The heartbeat intensified from within the chest, echoing through the room.

The prince’s face twisted in anger. “I’ve got you now,” he growled, throwing open the chest with a flourish. But the chest was empty. The sound of the heartbeat continued, now louder than before, but there was no cat—no Su Jiyai. Just empty space. “What?!” Ronald gasped, stepping back in shock. “How can this be?” Jake’s eyes narrowed. “It’s another illusion. She’s not in the chest. She’s using magic to deceive us.” The Third Vampire Prince slammed the chest shut with a snarl, his frustration boiling over. “Find her! She’s close. I can feel it.” What they didn’t know was, that the moment the third vampire prince opened the safety chest, Su Jiyai jumped into it. The safety lock wasn’t any small box, it was a huge room-like place from the inside. The room had a chair made of ebony wood right in front of the table, there were also many cupboards with some books and random decorations. At the right-most corner of the room was a vase beside which was a small shiny blue cupboard. When the Third Vampire Prince closed the door, Su Jiyai was locked inside the room. There was no trace of panic on Su Jiyai’s face, though. As long as she could find the scroll, she can leave the damned place! “System can the area and tell me where the scroll is.” Su Jiyai ordered. [It is placed in the cupboard beside the vase.] “Is there any lock on the cupboard?” [No host.] Su Jiyai paused, “Are you sure the scroll is in the cupboard?” [Yes host.] Su Jiyai knew the system could detect the presence of any object in a much more accurate way than her, but for some reason, she felt that the system wasn’t right this time. A smart person like the third Vampire prince who hid the scroll in a safety box of a room locked by his fingerprints, would he truly place the scroll in the cupboard that could easily be opened as long as someone managed to reach the safety room? The scroll was hidden in such a manner, presenting how important the scroll was to the Third Vampire Prince. [Host, don’t worry. Maybe the scroll is not as important to the Third Vampire Prince as you may think.] Su Jiyai sighed. Maybe she was thinking too much. She walked up to the cupboard. “System can you take out a rod?” [Sure host.] A long rod appeared and Su Jiyai with difficulty straightened the rod and pass it through the knob of the drawer. The next second, the rod was burnt completely, making Su Jiyai shocked. She hurriedly retreated to one side. The blaring sound of the alert echoed in the entire mansion, alerting the three vampires who were about to leave. Su Jiyai jumped into the vase to hide herself. She held her breath as she crouched inside the massive vase, barely able to move. [Host, I apologize. It seems there was an extra layer of security on the cupboard that I failed to detect.] “Obviously,” Su Jiyai muttered under her breath. “What now?” [The vampires are heading your way. You need to stay hidden. The vase should be able to shield you for a bit, but it won’t hold forever.] Su Jiyai peeked through a small crack in the vase, watching as the door to the room was flung open. The Third Vampire Prince stormed in, followed closely by Ronald and Jake. Their eyes blazed with fury. “That cat’s here,” the prince growled, his sharp eyes scanning the room. “That cat triggered the trap. Spread out and find it!” Ronald rubbed his forehead and muttered, “Why are you so concerned about her? It’s not like she is a monster or something…” “She is a human.” The Third Vampire Prince coldly announced.
