Immortal in Horror Game: She is the Fortune Teller!-Chapter 105 - 102: Forbidden Nightmare 9 (Sacrificing Every Teammate Equally)
The moonlight cast a hazy glow over her features.
Josh, freed from the malnourished body, wore the visage of the Sacrificial Girl. Her slender and elegant figure exuded a hint of cold fragrance.
Yuze’s Adam’s apple moved slightly, and his body leaned back a bit.
Josh quickly grabbed his arm, her eyes cold and stern, signaling him not to move.
It was the first time Yuze was looked at like this by a girl.
Under the moonlight, her eyes were particularly bright, reflecting even the starry river outside, and her small face, the size of a palm, was full of vigilance, like a little rabbit with raised ears, adorably fierce.
Yue Xi looked grimly at the two on the ground, "Why are you here? Who else?"
"A... also..." Yuntian and Xiaxia, terrified enough, guiltily glanced behind the statue.
Yue Xi didn’t miss the look in their eyes, her face growing colder, "Those behind the statue, come out now! Don’t force me to make a move!"
Damn these incompetent teammates!
The main hall of the ancestral temple was empty, with only the statue and a hollow screen nearby, only behind the statue could one hide.
Once discovered, there’s nowhere to hide.
Josh and Yuze exchanged a glance.
Yuze gave her a reassuring look.
Josh nodded, resigned, stepping out from behind the statue and jumping down from the offering table, "Aunt..."
Upon seeing her, anger flashed in Yue Xi’s eyes, "It’s you again!"
Josh waited for a while, hearing no noise behind her.
She controlled the spider silk to look behind the statue.
Yuze was comfortably hiding behind the statue, having no intention of coming out, even smiling pleasantly at the spider silk peeking in.
So scary, he almost got exposed.
Josh: "...?"
Barrage: [A familiar formula, a familiar taste.]
[Yu: Sacrificing every teammate that can be sacrificed equally.]
[The moment he sat down calmly, it took me three seconds to realize what was going on.]
Yue Xi glared at the three of them fiercely, "As sacrificial girls, how could you not stay in your rooms at night but sneak out to meet men? And with two women and one man!"
Josh’s face turned darker.
Yuntian was also dumbfounded, quickly realizing and blushing, "No, Aunt!"
Xiaxia also wanted to explain, but Yue Xi interrupted sternly, "Stop! No more excuses!"
She looked at Josh and Xiaxia, "You two, breaking the rules, leaving the boathouse privately, and meeting with a man, deserves death!"
A terrifying spiritual power attack came overwhelmingly.
Yuntian became anxious.
Josh sensed Yuze, who was about to start a fight behind the statue, quickly interrupting, "Wait a moment!"
Yuze halted his movements.
Josh looked at Yue Xi, "Aunt! I’m not here to meet a man, I’m here to serve Lord Sea God!"
"What did you say?"
Not only Yue Xi, but the other two also couldn’t help but look at Josh.
Yue Xi didn’t know, did the other two not know? Her man was still hiding behind the statue.
Josh’s mind raced, but her expression grew calmer, "Yes, I heard that as long as one sincerely touches the statue, if chosen by Lord Sea God, there would be a reaction."
She walked to the statue, raised her hand to touch the fishtail, blatantly lying, "Clearly, I felt the stone statue, yet the touch was icy and slippery, even a little sticky, as if touching a real mermaid, with a faint sweet scent, did you smell it?"
She could only feign descriptions commonly associated with the Mermaid King to describe her sensations.
She gambled on Yue Xi’s reverence for the Sea God.
Sure enough, hesitation appeared on Yue Xi’s face.
She suspiciously glanced at Josh, then at the pair of ’lovers’ beside her.
Josh continued, "You wouldn’t actually think I’m here for a tryst, would you? Just for this man?"
She haughtily lifted her head, "I am a loyal believer in Lord Sea God. Whether it’s my pure body or steadfast soul, only for Lord Sea God will I surrender. My sacred soul and body can and will only be given to Lord Sea God!"
It was practically the face of a toxic devoted fan.
Yue Xi was convinced but remained wary, "But privately leaving the boathouse is still a grave crime. I’ll take these two away; as for you..."
Her face grew unpleasant, clearly not wanting to believe Josh’s nonsense, yet unable to defy Lord Sea God’s majesty, "Since you claim that Lord Sea God showed you His presence, you’re confined to this place, kneel before Lord Sea God and transcribe the Holy Daughter’s admonitions 100 times. Wait for the Holy Daughter to return in three days for judgment."
She led Xiaxia and Yuntian away, locking Josh inside the ancestral temple.
After they left, Yuze emerged from behind, "Why didn’t you let me act just now?"
Josh’s lips twitched, "Acting isn’t the only solution."
Yuze raised a hand, his cat paws glinting coldly under the moonlight, "Kill this NPC, destroy the evidence, and tonight’s mess is gone."
Josh grasped her forehead, turning to fetch pen and paper from the side room, "Help me with the transcription."
Yuze clicked his tongue, "Really going to transcribe?"
Josh glanced at him, "What else?"
The two were trapped inside the ancestral temple, unable to leave for now, and she wasn’t planning to leave for a while.
Josh found pen and paper from the storage room on the left and started copying at the table next to the statue’s right hand.
The ancestral temple lacked electrical wiring, with only candlelight for illumination.
Yuze, having nothing to do, observed the surroundings, fixing his gaze on the statue, "Qiao’er..."
Josh’s hand shook, miswriting a stroke.
She looked up grim-faced, eyeing the mischievous leader, "Speak up, don’t waste my time."
Yuze, seriously, leaned towards the table, "I suspect this statue is restricting my abilities, I can’t summon back my weapon."
He waved his fluffy, white, tender, pink-padded cat paw in front of Josh.
Josh’s lips twitched, "Oh really, such a coincidence, only the right hand won’t retract, so you can’t help me with the transcription."
Yuze nodded, looking apologetically at her, "Desire but can’t fulfill."
"Get lost, don’t block the light."
The ancestral temple was particularly quiet and dim, with only a faint candle flame on the table providing light.
Behind the statue, moonlight shone; in front, candlelight flickered, intensifying the chilling, sinister expression on the statue’s face.
Josh shivered, pulling several kneeling cushions over as makeshift bedding when tired of copying.
From her angle, she could see the statue’s face clearly.
She couldn’t help but frown slightly, "Why do I feel like this statue is watching me?"
Yuze yawned, lazily lying down next to her, even grabbing one of her cushions, "Impossible, with someone as eye-catching as me here, how could it look at you?"
Josh’s lips twitched as she closed her eyes, fearing that another glance would land her fist on her captain’s face.
She fell asleep quickly, despite being in the eerie ancestral temple, almost instantly asleep.
Yuze, hearing her soft, gentle breaths, raised an eyebrow slightly, sighed resignedly, and sat at the table to continue transcribing on the paper she wrote only three characters on.
Night breeze brushed against the ground, coolly sweeping across Josh’s cheek.
In her half-dreaming state, Josh thought someone touched her face, the icy sensation making her shiver and curl up, murmuring, "So cold..."
A man’s coat was tossed over, precisely covering her, warding off the chill creeping along the ground.
