Immortal in Horror Game: She is the Fortune Teller!-Chapter 135 - 132: Forbidden Nightmare 39 (Climbing the Mountain to Eliminate the Forbidden Nightmare)
Josh turned his head and saw Old Mrs. Cao stumbling clumsily towards them.
"What are you doing going up the mountain? Are you crazy?"
Yuze held her up: "We’re just going to take a look."
Old Mrs. Cao didn’t look well, "Haven’t I told you before? The wind of the Forbidden Nightmare will blow you away. You can’t go up the mountain!"
Josh reassured, "It’s not a big deal, we’ve dealt with the Forbidden Nightmare before, don’t worry, we can handle her."
"That makes it even worse!" Old Mrs. Cao became more anxious upon hearing this and blocked their way: "Are you going up the mountain to kill the Forbidden Nightmare? I’m telling you, you can’t! Absolutely not!"
"Let’s go! Kill the Forbidden Nightmare!"
"So many people in the village have died. We must kill the Forbidden Nightmare to protect the peace of the village!"
A group of players, along with villagers and a Priest, were approaching from the mountain’s base.
Josh frowned slightly upon seeing these people.
Old Mrs. Cao blocked their way again, "What are you going to do?"
Lulu glanced at Josh triumphantly, "Of course, we’re going to take care of things."
"Get out of the way, Old Mrs. Cao!" The villagers behind them sounded excited.
"Exactly! Today we have to eradicate the evil for the people! With the Forbidden Nightmare lurking in the village, more people will die if we don’t kill her!"
Old Mrs. Cao stubbornly stood in the way: "Didn’t you say before that it was the Holy Daughter who killed the people? What does the Forbidden Nightmare have to do with it? You can’t just act recklessly!"
"Before, we thought the Holy Daughter was the killer, but now that the Holy Daughter is unconscious and a Sacrificial Girl was disemboweled in the village, doesn’t that indicate it’s the Forbidden Nightmare?"
Seeing the turmoil, Old Mrs. Cao appeared almost ready to jump up and grab someone: "Nonsense! You’re all talking nonsense! The Forbidden Nightmare wouldn’t kill anyone! Don’t listen to this old man’s nonsense!"
She glared resentfully at the Priest, an unreadable complexity in her eyes.
Lulu crossed her arms, "Why are you reacting so strongly, old woman? Are you in cahoots with the Forbidden Nightmare?"
"I... I..." Old Mrs. Cao stammered, appearing even more suspicious.
Hearing this, the Priest looked at Lulu: "This Sacrificial Girl looks like she’s with the Forbidden Nightmare! You have to help our village eliminate this threat!"
Old Mrs. Cao glared at the Priest angrily: "You wretched villain! How can you speak such heartless words? I’ll kill you!"
She jumped up to hit the Priest, but Million quickly blocked her.
Her outburst made the villagers suspicious, and they rushed forward: "Beat her to death!"
"Daring to defend the Forbidden Nightmare! Clearly not a good person!"
"Right! Beat her to death too!"
Josh pulled Old Mrs. Cao behind him, looking at Million and Zhuang Ran’s groups: "What is happening?"
Before Million could speak, Lulu quickly blocked her team leader and said to Josh, "What does it matter to you? You gathered all the clues, so obviously we can investigate ourselves. You’re not the only one who knows the Forbidden Nightmare is the culprit! We know too!"
Josh looked at the Priest, who had an embarrassed expression: "This Sacrificial Girl, Lulu, has great abilities. If it weren’t for her, we would still be forced to serve the Forbidden Nightmare and be her pawns."
Lulu feared the Priest might reveal too much information, so she quickly said: "Whoever kills the Forbidden Nightmare first can dispel her malice. Let’s go!"
Josh and Yuze exchanged a glance, as they also planned to go up the mountain, and decided they might as well go together to see what they intended to do.
The leading players and Priest, along with a group of villagers carrying various weapons, ascended the mountain.
The mountain winds roared wildly.
But they seemed prepared, each holding a human-shaped lantern.
With the lanterns, the violent winds were somewhat deterred and calmed.
Seeing this situation from below, Old Mrs. Cao’s eyes reddened as she cried and followed: "You can’t do this! You beasts! Come back! Come back to me!"
Yuze frowned slightly, soothing her: "Don’t worry, Granny, we’ll go up the mountain together to take a look!"
Old Mrs. Cao nodded hastily: "Take me up! Take me up!"
Her legs were weak, making it especially difficult for her to move!
By the time Josh and Yuze brought Old Mrs. Cao to the top, everyone had gathered there, and they unexpectedly saw Yue Xi and the Holy Daughter present.
The Holy Daughter appeared weak, smiling gently at everyone: "Today, for the safety of the village, we must eliminate this Forbidden Nightmare. I initially shouldn’t have intervened, but Lord Sea God warned me in a dream to help everyone break the seal in the tower and to help you kill the Forbidden Nightmare!"
The villagers excitedly waved their tools.
"Holy Daughter! Holy Daughter! Holy Daughter!"
Someone knelt down, "Holy Daughter, I must confess! So many Sacrificial Girls have died in the village, and I always thought you were the one causing trouble to keep others from taking your place."
"I was wrong too, I misunderstood you before, and both Yue Xi and the Priests."
"And me, I always thought you killed the village’s Sacrificial Girls to prevent a new Holy Daughter from being appointed. I was wrong!"
"Who would have known it was the sly trap set by the Forbidden Nightmare!"
The Holy Daughter looked at Million and the others, a hint of helplessness in her expression: "Previously, every time a Sacrificial Girl died, the Forbidden Nightmare would take something from them and then use curses and the Blinding Technique to make my body appear younger, leading you to mistakenly believe I was killing these Sacrificial Girls for some purpose..."
The Priest said angrily: "Even worse is that the villagers believed this too, and Old Mrs. Cao was always shouting to beat and kill us Holy Daughter and Priests because of it, disrupting everyone’s peace!"
The villagers felt guilty internally; they realized they too believed this but hadn’t shown it explicitly.
So they all glared accusingly at Old Mrs. Cao, trying to atone for themselves this way.
"Old Mrs. Cao must be in league with the Forbidden Nightmare!"
"I’ve even seen her taking food up the mountain for the Forbidden Nightmare!"
"Kill her! She’s with the Forbidden Nightmare!"
The Holy Daughter looked at Million and the others: "Actually, I should apologize to you. The other night, us wanting to sacrifice you was to save me, and we only did it out of desperation. I hope you can forgive us."
Million nodded slightly.
Zhuang Ran smiled at the Holy Daughter: "It’s okay, we weren’t hurt. These misunderstandings were all the machinations of the Forbidden Nightmare. Whether the villagers or you all, we’re just unfortunate victims controlled by the Forbidden Nightmare."
Lulu secretly rolled her eyes, disliking such a saintly demeanor.
Josh watched as these people aggressively approached Old Mrs. Cao, frowning deeply,
Yuze stood in front of Josh and Old Mrs. Cao, scanning Million and the others with a half-smile: "I don’t mind hitting women, you know."
Lulu retreated a little fearfully, whispering: "Captain, what should we do? We might not be able to beat them."
