Immortal in Horror Game: She is the Fortune Teller!-Chapter 138 - 135: Forbidden Nightmare 42 (Truth Revealed)
Yue Ya’s face, hidden in the night, grew increasingly unsightly.
Li Yuanwei said, "You’re secretly delighted, aren’t you? A man like me willing to be with you is something many women dream of. You’ve gained a lot tonight, so don’t pretend to be innocent after taking advantage of it."
"Besides, your face is ruined. You definitely can’t be the Holy Daughter anymore. Aren’t you good friends with my sister? When the time comes, just give up the candidate Holy Daughter position to my sister, then use your disfigurement as an excuse to withdraw from the Sacrificial Girl’s ranks, and come back to marry me."
"Look, even though your face is ruined, you don’t have a job, and your family doesn’t have much money, I don’t mind you at all. As long as you don’t tell my aunt about this, I will marry you, okay?"
Yue Ya finally couldn’t hold back, fiercely shaking off his hand: "Dream on! Forcing me to do such things violated my body, ruined my face, and you still dream of letting your sister steal my Holy Daughter position, and marrying me? You bastard!"
Her face was gloomy: "Li Yuanwei, today I’ve finally seen you clearly, it was my blindness to ever like you! I tell you, even if I give up my Holy Daughter position, I will report you to my aunt! As for your sister’s candidate Holy Daughter position, let her compete for it on her own if she can!"
She felt disgusted looking at this man for even one more second and turned to leave the bamboo forest.
Li Yuanwei’s gaze instantly darkened, his eyes harboring a horrifying murderous intent.
In the end, Yue Ya never managed to walk out of that forest.
An enraged Li Yuanwei completely lost his mind, knocked Yue Ya unconscious, and dragged her back home.
In a fit of rage, he not only gouged out her eyes and cut out her tongue but also mutilated her into a human pig, stored in a jar for pickling.
To torture her, every time, Li Yuanwei would shave off her entire scalp, then treat it with medicine, and shave it again.
He tortured her until she lost her sanity.
The disappearance of a candidate Holy Daughter wasn’t a small issue; the entire village was searching for her.
Li Yuanwei, fearing the matter would escalate, had to call on his sister.
The two discussed and decided to throw Yue Ya’s body into the sea.
Without Yue Ya, Li Yuanjia smoothly ascended to become the candidate Holy Daughter and succeeded in becoming the village’s Holy Daughter. She even recommended her brother Li Yuanwei to become the village’s Priest.
On the day she inherited the position of Holy Daughter, the entire village experienced a rain of white paper money.
White cloth strips hung from the treetops.
The cries of women echoed throughout the village.
Everyone was terrified and stunned.
Feeling guilty about their crimes, Li Yuanwei and Li Yuanjia quickly ordered an investigation, discovering that it was the mother of the previous candidate Holy Daughter, Old Mrs. Cao, mourning her daughter.
The two, fearing she might stir trouble, planned to secretly kill her, not expecting this would completely enrage Yue Ya’s ghost.
Seeking revenge, she turned completely dark, becoming the Forbidden Nightmare, starting a hunt for vengeance.
The Holy Daughter and the Priest quickly held Old Mrs. Cao hostage, making the Forbidden Nightmare unable to act recklessly.
The Holy Daughter ordered the construction of the Soul Suppressing Tower and, using Old Mrs. Cao’s life as leverage, forced the Forbidden Nightmare to willingly enter the tower.
No one knew what was inside the tower.
But for quite a long time, heart-wrenching screams would frequently emanate from the tower.
The villagers, listening from afar, seemed to smell the scent of blood in the air.
A mixture of despair, anger, and endless pain.
They dared not harm Old Mrs. Cao, fearing the Forbidden Nightmare might one day escape the tower, leaving them without means to threaten her, yet they also feared Old Mrs. Cao would spread rumors in the village.
So they deliberately drove Old Mrs. Cao insane, using a curse to turn her into a half-human, half-ghost monster.
Old Mrs. Cao, delirious day after day, unable to find her daughter, began making lanterns, each one painted with Yue Ya’s face.
Later, the grievance of the Forbidden Nightmare grew deeper, and decades later, she finally made a comeback.
The Forbidden Nightmare cursed people, needing human hair, saliva, and if the curse’s target was a Sacrificial Girl or a Holy Daughter, their veils were required.
Old Mrs. Cao feigned madness for decades, finally easing their guards enough to obtain an old Holy Daughter’s discarded veil.
The Forbidden Nightmare’s curse began to take effect.
The Holy Daughter was supposed to die, but unexpectedly, they had a way to transfer the curse onto other Sacrificial Girls.
The Forbidden Nightmare was unwilling to accept this. Without Sacrificial Girls, the Holy Daughter had no one to transfer the curse to.
The number of deaths in the village increased, and the hauntings grew more severe.
The deceased Sacrificial Girls harbored resentment, starting to cause mischief in the village.
These resentments were the best nourishment for the Forbidden Nightmare. Each day, she absorbed Moonlight Essence and the grievances of the Sacrificial Girls through the stone at the top of the tower, driving the Sacrificial Girls to be under her control.
But none of this fazed Li Yuanwei and his sister.
Li Yuanjia knew that if they allowed the Forbidden Nightmare to bide her time in the tower, one day she would break out and seek revenge against them.
So they strategized to amplify the Forbidden Nightmare’s killings.
To make everyone focus and take this matter seriously, there had to be a headline; the Holy Daughter was this headline.
Therefore, Li Yuanjia intentionally left corresponding wounds on each Sacrificial Girl after the Forbidden Nightmare killed them, then used a curse to replicate the same changes on herself.
This way, outsiders would gradually notice and think the Holy Daughter was deliberately killing people to preserve her youth.
But they also carefully left clues, leaving musk on the corpses, which only Old Mrs. Cao’s family had in the entire village.
Compared to demon exorcism and defending the way, often pulling someone down from a pedestal to trample underfoot made them more excited.
Sure enough, everyone began to suspect the Holy Daughter.
Many people started to pay attention to this matter.
A panic spread throughout the village, under which there was an inexplicable excitement spreading.
Everyone was eager, restless, on the verge of action. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢
However, just as the Holy Daughter was about to be identified, she suddenly fell into a coma.
The Holy Daughter became the next victim of the Forbidden Nightmare.
Forced with no other option, the Priest, in order to "appease" the Forbidden Nightmare’s anger, had to sacrifice all the Sacrificial Girls in exchange for the Holy Daughter’s life.
Only then did everyone come to a realization, it had been the Forbidden Nightmare committing the murders all along, not the Holy Daughter!
The musk on Old Mrs. Cao also became the strongest evidence of her handling the corpses.
The Priest and the Holy Daughter had no choice but to act for their survival.
Regret and guilt forced everyone to turn against the Forbidden Nightmare who was sealed and tormented in the tower.
Li Yuanwei looked at the villagers in pain and guilt: "We are left with no choice! There are so many people in the village, so many vulnerable men and children and elderly! If the Holy Daughter dies, who will suppress the tide? Rely on the Forbidden Nightmare? We are doing this for everyone!"
The villagers fell silent.
Li Yuanwei glared at Yue Ya angrily: "In the end, aren’t you also selfish? If the Holy Daughter dies, the whole village faces burial with her, you’re depicted as a victim, but you’re just a deceitful hypocrite! You want the entire village to perish to satisfy yourself! You heartless harlot!"
Hearing him insult her daughter, Old Mrs. Cao charged forward to hit him.
