Immortal in Horror Game: She is the Fortune Teller!-Chapter 121 - 118: Forbidden Nightmare 25 (Falling into the Mermaid King’s Hypnosis)
Yuze looked at the other with a sullen face, displeased: "I don’t care if you are the Sea God or whatever, give Josh back to me!"
"Give back?" The Mermaid King seemed to hear the biggest joke ever, looking down from above at the man on the ground: "What right do you have to say that in front of me?"
An even stronger spiritual power erupted from Yuze than before, almost pushing back the pressure from the Mermaid King.
A hint of surprise flickered in the Mermaid King’s eyes as he looked at Yuze, tinged with a bit of interest: "Human, you are quite impressive."
Yuze revealed sharp cat claw blades, his eyes fixed on the unconscious Josh in his arms: "There’s more impressive coming!"
In the blink of an eye.
No one saw how Yuze dodged the spiritual power vortex from both sides and directly flashed in front of the Mermaid King.
By the time the camera captured the scene, Yuze’s blade was already at the Mermaid’s throat.
The next second, the mermaid swiftly retreated while holding Josh, his powerful tail flinging Yuze away.
Yuze spun mid-air, landing steadily, staring at the mermaid not far away, quickly launching a second attack.
The two chased each other around the narrow ancestral hall, neither able to touch the other.
The mermaid, standing firm, looked at him with a hint of admiration in his eyes: "I acknowledge your strength, but you cannot take her. She is mine!" 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
His body pressed even closer to Josh’s.
The uniquely human warm body temperature transmitted through their close contact.
Yuze narrowed his eyes, dangerously eyeing the mermaid: "Do you know her?"
The mermaid smiled slightly, gentlemanly and elegant: "I’ve known her far longer than you have."
Yuze frowned in displeasure, the words spilling from that fish mouth were really grating.
The mermaid looked at him: "Although I don’t know who you are, I don’t think we need to fight."
As soon as he finished speaking, he was already back on the stone pedestal behind the altar, turning back into a statue.
Josh landed steadily on the ground, still unconscious.
Yuze felt like he had punched cotton.
What on earth is this dead fish?
His strength hadn’t been weakened in this game, and logically, he could take down a rare monster in an S-level dungeon, yet this mere creature in an A+ dungeon almost matches him?
No, maybe even stronger than him.
He could feel that the mermaid hadn’t revealed his full power level.
His spiritual power should be above S level, and his combat power couldn’t be lower than his.
But the question is, can such a thing exist in an A+ dungeon?
He walked over to Josh, seeing she was only knocked out by spiritual power, he relaxed.
The little tactician in the team got killed by a monster right under his nose, without a Resurrection Card, Ma Qi would tear him apart.

In a daze, Josh felt her body continuously descending, with the faint sound of water in her ears.
"Your name is Josh?" The man’s deep voice carried a siren-like allure, impeccably sexy.
Josh slowly opened her eyes, facing a face as beautiful as a dream.
"Mermaid King?"
The Mermaid King smiled slightly: "Good child, you still remember me."
Josh returned to her senses with a start: "What are you doing here?!"
She then realized they were both floating underwater, with cool sea water brushing past, inexplicably calming her inner self.
She quickly calmed down.
The Mermaid King chuckled, moving closer, their noses almost touching, as the light from above filtered through the water, scattering over them.
Josh stared at his face, like it was under soft light, with a look of amazement in her eyes.
No matter when, the Mermaid King’s face was hard not to be stunning.
Especially in this close and ambiguous setting.
Josh watched him warily: "Why are you here?"
The Mermaid King raised his hand, his cold, slender fingers like fine mutton fat jade, gently tracing over her brows and eyes: "Good child, tell me, how did you get the wound on your heart?"
"The wound on my heart?" Josh instinctively touched her chest, a crack there that would hurt, tearingly so, whenever she moved vigorously or her heartbeat quickened.
She was momentarily lost in thought, and the mermaid’s appearance became blurry before her eyes.
All that remained in her world were a pair of deep, sapphire blue eyes, mesmerizingly beautiful like gemstones.
Josh always had no resistance to richly colored, deep gemstones; she almost involuntarily allowed herself to sink into the blue jewels.
She felt enveloped in a soft and exceptionally secure embrace, held tightly.
"Think about it, when did the wound appear?"
Josh recalled the wound on her chest, frowning slightly: "I don’t know..."
"Think more carefully, who hurt you?"
Black memories from her childhood flashed in Josh’s mind, her face showing pain: "I don’t know..."
Code 7 couldn’t bear it, protested disapprovingly: "You! Stop it! Can’t you see she’s in pain?"
"Yes." The expression on the Mermaid King’s face was very indifferent, bearing a transcendental, divine beauty.
Code 7 looked at Josh, a bit anxious.
She was wrapped in the Mermaid King’s Spiritual Domain, with memories from her mind rising and surging in the bubbles floating around.
Being forced to recall some unpleasant memories is a very painful thing.
Josh kept her eyes closed, her wing-like long eyelashes slightly trembling, showing a painful expression on her face, as if trying hard to escape the control of her recollections, yet unable to wake up.
Code 7 angrily stared at the Mermaid King: "Why do you want her to suffer like this!"
The Mermaid King’s expression remained very calm: "I need to know the origin of her wound."
"Is it that important?" Code 7 didn’t understand.
The Mermaid King pursed his lips, a hint of deep meaning passing through his eyes: "Crucially important."
Code 7 watched Josh continuously fall into pain, feeling a bit sad: "You might as well listen to God and kill her."
"No, I’ve changed my mind now."
"You won’t kill her?"
"Temporarily won’t."
"Why? Because of that wound?"
"Hmm."
Code 7 was puzzled: "What about the wound?"
The Mermaid King didn’t speak.
He obeyed the command of the divine, to come and kill this person who would bring him pain.
But the rip at her chest was clearly left by the divine.
He wasn’t interested in being a pawn.
Until he figured out the source of her wound, he wouldn’t act against her.
The mermaid ignored him.
Code 7 felt a bit frustrated: "Even if there’s an issue with the wound, without killing her, we still can’t move."
Indeed.
They entered this dungeon prematurely, waiting here for Josh’s arrival.
The Mermaid King was too powerful, detected by the rules of the realm, they were assimilated into NPCs in the dungeon, bound by the rules.
Only by being awakened by the "designated Holy Daughter" could they break free of the rule’s shackles and escape from this realm.
