Immortal in Horror Game: She is the Fortune Teller!-Chapter 123 - 120: Forbidden Nightmare 27 (Captain, Someone Kissed You)
*
Josh pretended to serve the Sea God and returned to the boathouse.
The players in other boathouses, due to the consecutive deaths, had started to group together.
Yue Xi and the patrolling women knew about this situation but did nothing to stop it.
Josh frowned slightly, looking at the people outside moving stiffly, and suddenly realized that these people were like living versions of human-shaped lanterns, their movements too rigid.
This minority, with their beliefs and worship of the Sea God, might very well have some secret technique like raising Gu worms.
Back then, she and her senior brother had encountered a group that could control others through raising Gu worms.
Even if it’s not Gu worms, it might be some other method of control.
The sky darkened.
Josh wanted to sneak out from the back door but found the window had been locked by someone.
She frowned slightly but heard the sound of the door being locked.
Josh quickly walked over: "Who’s out there?"
"Me." Yue Xi’s voice had a hint of coldness: "You haven’t slept in the room these past few nights. The Holy Daughter specifically instructed that you’re not allowed to go anywhere tonight and must stay put and sleep properly."
She added, "This is for your own good."
Her voice sounded somewhat strange.
Josh frowned slightly, not resisting: "Got it, Aunt."
Something’s not right.
There’s something off about Yue Xi today.
Josh recalled that when at the ancestral hall, after the old Holy Daughter finished speaking, her attitude towards Josh suddenly became very strange.
After mentioning her potential to become the successor Holy Daughter, not only Yue Xi’s attitude was strange at the time, but the Holy Daughter’s attitude was also peculiar.
Could it be...
A sudden realization hit Josh, striking a daring conjecture in her mind.
Perhaps those words were a trigger, whoever is likely to become the candidate Holy Daughter might die that evening.
She messaged Yuze: [I can’t get out tonight, I’m locked in the room.]
Yuze: [Why? Have they finally realized you’re not that likable?]
Josh: [... Look who’s talking, you’re not that likable yourself.]
Yuze: [I’m being pursued, thank you very much.]
Josh was too lazy to argue with him.
She stayed quietly in the room; even if someone was guarding outside, it wouldn’t matter, these NPCs couldn’t really trap her.
Josh glanced at the woman guarding outside, quietly moved to the window, and extended some Spider Silk to pick the lock.
In the dead of night, even the slightest sound could be magnified infinitely.
Josh spent a great deal of effort to silently unlock it.
Just as she was about to climb out, black runes suddenly surged from the ground, transforming into chains that bound her limbs.
Josh frowned, ready to make a move, but found that no matter what, she couldn’t move her hands or feet.
She wanted to shout for help outside, but realized she couldn’t make a sound from her throat.
These talismans grew more numerous, binding her and pulling her onto the bed.
Josh tried to silently chant a spell, but found she couldn’t even open her lips.
She was fixed on the bed, positioned in an extremely proper sleeping posture.
The talismans transformed into strands winding towards her legs.
This reminded her of the sacrificial girl who had died two nights before.
So was it her turn tonight?
No wonder the old Holy Daughter and Yue Xi’s attitudes were so strange, no wonder Yue Xi especially trapped her in the room tonight.
She opened the system panel to message Yuze: [I’ve got a situation here.]
[What a coincidence, so do I.]
Josh frowned slightly, guessing that he might be stuck too, just about to close the system panel.
She saw another message: [A few female NPCs are trying to climb into my bed again, damn my charm~]
Josh’s mouth twitched, shutting the panel with a dark expression.
The black chains were almost about to drill into her skin, the pain like countless ants gnawing at her calves.
Josh realized something was wrong, this thing might actually take her life.
Weapon was unusable, curse and mystical technique were unusable too.
Unless using Spiritual Power to explode...
But that’s a method of hurting the enemy by eight hundred but self-damaging by a thousand.
She had barely cultivated this little bit of Spiritual Power.
The pain in her calves continued to expand.
Josh gritted her teeth, gathering all her Spiritual Power, just about to explode.
A sharp "clang" resonated in the darkness.
Three cold, silver blades crossed with the black chains, sparking visible sparks, cutting the chains into several pieces.
Josh hadn’t even seen who it was before she was whisked away and moved to one side.
"Captain?" Her eyes brightened: "Aren’t you busy?"
Yuze stood in front of her, slightly turning his head: "It’s just that our Little Tactician is so fragile, if I came a moment later, you’d have perished in this little trick."
Josh then noticed his face covered in lipstick marks, his aura raging.
She blinked: "Did someone kiss your face?"
His anger intensified.
Josh shut her mouth silently.
Yuze moved faster than before, charging towards the black chains with his claws raised, even grabbing the chains bare-handed and giving a fierce pull.
A string of ghosts was dragged out alive from the ground.
Yuze pressed his brows, a hint of bloodlust appearing in his eyes.
He dashed through, slicing through the chains and attacking the ghosts.
Screams echoed one after another.
Josh sensed something amiss, realizing he was venting his anger on these monsters.
She touched her nose, hiding to one side: "Captain..."
Yuze, with a dark face and fury in his eyes, couldn’t listen.
Josh cautiously asked: "Captain... were you, by chance, affected by the women... you know?"
Yuze shot her a sharp glance, his voice laced with ice: "Do you think that’s possible?"
Josh shrank her neck, "Then why do you have a look like a ’chaste maiden losing innocence and going berserk’?"
Yuze clicked his tongue and appeared in front of her, grabbing her collar like a little chick to eye-level: "You just know how to open old wounds, huh?"
He then saw the suppressed laughter in her eyes.
Josh couldn’t hold it back and burst into laughter: "Hahaha... Captain, why are you so agitated... could it be your first night?"
The mocking tone undeniably added fuel to the fire.
Yuze gritted his teeth, squeezing out the words: "I said no! They didn’t succeed!"
The deafening voice shouted right next to her ear.
Josh only felt a buzzing in her ear, unable to hear anything for a while.
"If they didn’t, they didn’t. Why are you being so fierce? I didn’t kiss you." She felt quite wronged.
Yuze just wanted to tap her on the head.
The Black Rope and those things were smashed to bits, all ran away.
Josh hadn’t had time to stop him, seeing all the things running away, helplessly said: "At least keep one to ask questions."
However, realizing that Yuze could see these things gave Josh an insight.
She discovered, in this dungeon, the original ghosts are categorized as monster NPC types, which other players and cameras can detect.
Whereas the ghosts she summoned, aside from those summoned from corpses existing in the dungeon, other ones she summoned with her Mystical Technique, players couldn’t see.
That is, cameras couldn’t capture them either.
If that’s the case, could she exploit this bug?
