"Oh, shit! Oh, shit! Oh, shit! Did Soren really go missing? Isn't this supposed to be staged content?"
"I hope Soren will be safe and sound!"
"Based on everyone's grim expressions, it doesn't seem like a staged event at all."
"If Soren suddenly went missing, does that mean… there's something evil lurking in the mansion?"
"Huh? Why is Shannon heading toward the bathroom from which Soren has vanished?"
Everyone stared at the livestream channel, which showed Shannon walking toward the bathroom where Soren was last seen.
Before anyone could realize what was going on, Shannon stepped into the bathroom immediately. "I'm going to use the toilet."
Then, she slammed the door behind her.
Vincent and the two cameramen were stunned, to say the least. Their first instinct was to stop Shannon.
Soren had just vanished from the bathroom, after all. Wasn't Shannon afraid in the slightest?
Although Vincent didn't know Shannon well, he was worried that something might happen to her while she was in the bathroom. There was no way he'd leave Shannon alone despite the urgency to look for Soren.
As for Shannon, she couldn't care less about Vincent's conflicted feelings about her safety. The moment she closed the door, she quickly searched every inch and corner of the bathroom for clues.
She was able to pick up on hints of negative energy, though they were relatively weak.
Since this mansion was shrouded in negative energy, it was difficult for one to pick up on such faint traces. It was no wonder Juniper didn't pick up on the traces at all.
Shannon turned to look at the mirror in front of the sink. Then, she fished out a pinpoint talisman from her bag.
As long as the talisman was used on a target, Shannon could trigger one out of two functional effects once she activated the talisman. She could either pin her target down, thus rendering the target immobile. That, or she could let the talisman point the way to her target.
When Shannon shook Soren's hand yesterday, she had taken the liberty to imprint the talisman onto his palm.
At first, she wanted to prevent him from causing more chaos during the filming process. Now, it served to be useful to her.
On the other hand, the viewers were quite displeased at Shannon for entering the bathroom all of a sudden. Soren's fans, in particular, were extremely miffed.
As for Carlos, his nerves were already tense thanks to Soren's disappearance. The moment he heard Shannon's chants, he jumped to his feet immediately and ordered some staff members to check on Shannon right away.
Upon receiving the order, the cameraman in charge of filming Shannon walked over to the bathroom and knocked on the door despite feeling quite weirded out by the order.
"Ms. Jensen?" he called out.
No one responded to him.
Having realized that something was off, Vincent approached the bathroom hurriedly. He knocked on the door again, only to hear nothing.
A premonition flooded his heart immediately. Vincent ordered for the key to be delivered to him right away without much thought.
The moment Vincent unlocked and opened the door, Carlos was on the verge of going insane when he stared at the bathroom.
Where the hell did Shannon go?
One minute she was there; the next… vanished—just like Soren.
