Astin continued, "This is the trigger. After learning about her son''s death, Janice decided to get revenge. She came to this hotel and took up a job as a cleaner. This whole event was likely part of her n. She wanted to create a sense of panic and fear to drive the hotel out of business while taking revenge in the process. Am I right?"


    Janice could no longer maintain herposure. She copsed to the floor, her sobs uncontroble.


    "My son... All because of this woman! She ruined his entire life! I want her dead! Dead!"


    Suddenly, a strange energy erupted from Janice''s body. A cold, malevolent presence enveloped everyone as the building began to shake violently.


    Astin realized Janice''s power was causing the vibrations.


    "Hahaha, go to hell! Everyone who stands in the way of my revenge will die!"


    Zenon hurled a stone at Janice, which struck her forehead. Instantly, she lost her ability to resist.


    "Come out! I finally found you!" Zenon roared.


    A dark figure emerged and charged at Zenon. He drew a short sword and swiftly shed the attacker, cutting down the approaching demon with a single strike.


    As everyone was still reeling from the shock, Janice''s body began to change again. Zenon rushed forward, but Janice suddenly disappeared.


    "Damn it, has she already merged with it to this level?" Zenon cursed.


    The building shook violently once more. "Run! Get outside! The building is copsing!" Zenon shouted.


    The group hurried down to the lower floors. Suddenly, numerous strange hands appeared and blocked their path. Zenon swung his de, cutting through the obstructive energy with precision.


    The group made it outside safely but was shaken. Just then, Janice, who had now merged with the demon, attacked again. Zenon swiftly cut her in half with a decisive strike.


    Janice turned back into a normal human after that.
