Immortal in Horror Game: She is the Fortune Teller!-Chapter 167 - 166: Gorgeous Cage 13 (The Mysterious God R)
He was wearing a tailored robe, with white fabric woven with delicate gold patterns.
Josh curiously focused her gaze on his face.
Upon seeing his appearance, she couldn’t help but slightly furrow her brows.
This was a face completely different from the Mermaid King’s, sacred, bright, crystalline, pure and flawless, with an overwhelming impact that no beautiful words could describe.
His features instinctively reminded people of a statue bathed in Divine Light, sacred and dignified, its downcast eyes looking at the world with a gentle yet lofty divinity.
Yet, the first thing Josh thought of when she saw his face was the Mermaid King.
Although their looks and temperaments were completely different, Josh inexplicably felt a strange sense of familiarity.
The man had vine-like patterns, resembling gold or wood, crossing his forehead, with a beautiful pink gemstone embedded in the center of his brow, beautifully complementing his silver-gray eyes.
After the butler opened the door for the man, he noticed Josh staring directly at God R’s face, showing anger as he frantically signaled at Josh.
Only then did Josh withdraw her gaze.
God R walked to the opposite side of her and slowly sat down, gracefully extending his hand towards her: "Please, sit down."
Josh couldn’t help but feel a chill down her spine.
The voice of this god...
Had an indescribable grandeur.
At first listen, it even seemed ambiguously ambiguous in gender.
God R smiled slightly: "It’s an honor to have dinner with you."
Josh tugged her lips into a smile, sat down, and covertly scrutinized him.
The servants served the dishes one after another, mostly Western cuisine, such as medium-rare steak, succulent foie gras, rich cream soup, and some other things that looked very expensive that she couldn’t name.
God R looked at her amusingly, with a few indulgent glances in his eyes: "Why are you looking at me like that? Try the food."
Josh replied honestly: "I heard no one can look at your face for more than seven seconds, so I wanted to try."
God R’s eyes showed even more amusement, looking at her as if seeing an infinitely tolerant child: "Now you’ve looked at me for more than seven seconds, proving that the rumor isn’t true."
"No," Josh shrugged and picked up the knife and fork, "the rumor is true, but I’ve seen someone more attractive than you and became immune."
"Is that so..." God R nodded with a smile, lowering his eyelids as he cut his steak, saying, "The steak today is quite good, you should try it."
Josh suddenly felt a chill run down her back.
After a moment of silence, Josh suddenly asked, "I’ve heard that you often hold events online to select girls to have dinner with you, may I ask why?"
God R looked up at her, "Because eating alone is too lonely, you know, I’m the god of this world, have lived for a long time, even though I’m perfect, I still sometimes feel lonely."
"Even though I’m perfect" doesn’t sound like something a normal person would say.
Josh secretly rolled her eyes, knowing that with such fanfare for a dungeon NPC, he couldn’t be normal.
She smiled briefly, feigning casualness: "I was quite anxious on my way here, considering that few girls come to a good end after dining with you."
"Is that so?" God R looked at her.
The butler next to them wanted to step forward in rebuke, but God R stopped him.
Josh fearlessly met his gaze: "Yes, indeed."
God R’s face showed slight concern: "What happened to them?"
Josh: "It seems they were all driven to death by online bullying."
God R: "That’s indeed very unfortunate, they were all lovely young ladies." His tone was like lamenting a delicious bun that had just fallen to the ground.
Josh quietly watched his expression: "Aren’t you the god of the internet, the rule-maker of the virtual world? You didn’t know about this?"
God R smiled helplessly: "The online world is far larger than you imagine, I can’t look after everyone."
Josh: "But you’re the rule-maker, and several people faced online bullying before; perhaps changing the rules would alter this situation."
God R: "Why make such unnecessary changes for strangers who have died?"
Josh kept a close eye on him: "Do you think the rules are fine?"
God R smiled slightly: "I’m quite content as it is now."
Josh frowned: "But the people in the online world are very hostile."
God R’s eyes held a touch of pity and indulgence: "Because they achieve nothing in real life, they need a place to vent, don’t they?"
Josh couldn’t help but feel it was absurd: "They vent on innocent people through the internet."
God R lowered his head to eat another piece of steak: "That’s not my problem."
Josh looked at his calm expression, feeling a strange sensation.
There was something indescribable hidden in his compassion. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
It was like a giant serpent smiling at her, although the smile was very friendly, the cold deterrence and oppression from the serpent didn’t dissipate because of it.
The man across the table was gentle in attitude and pitiful in eyes, but deep down, a certain indifference lurked, completely uninterested in life and death.
After the meal, God R took her to visit outside.
As Josh got up, she took the opportunity to deliberately fall towards him.
The quick-eyed butler stopped her just in time, looking at Josh mockingly with his back to God: "Miss Tian Caiji, please stand firm."
A smug look flashed across his face, out of the women accompanying the god for meals each day, nine out of ten would "accidentally" fall into his arms; playing such petty tricks under his gaze? Dream on!
Josh smiled and quickly slipped the gemstone she got into her pocket.
Compared to the god’s embrace, the gemstones on him were much more enticing.
God R’s gaze fell on the now-empty inlay on his belt, unable to help but smile as he looked up at her, pretending nothing happened: "Do you usually like to go out?"
Josh shook her head: "I don’t like it."
God R looked at her with a smile: "Why not?"
Josh: "Lazy."
In truth, it was because she needed to cultivate.
Cultivating immortality wasn’t that easy, often retreating for decades or centuries is commonplace, if one constantly thinks about going out, unable to still the heart, how could they cultivate well?
God R gave her a surprising glance: "Is that so? I thought you’d be a very diligent person."
His eyes held a faint smile, due to their deep-set, when those narrow eyes looked at someone, there was a naturally deep feeling.
His gaze made her feel like she was someone very important to him.
Josh, expressionless, shifted her gaze away: "Oh, then you really don’t understand me."
God R raised an eyebrow, seeming somewhat surprised by her reaction.
But in truth, it suited him just fine.
God R showed an appropriate touch of loneliness: "You don’t seem to like me."
Josh tilted her head to look at him.
Being gazed upon so affectionately by such a handsome and sacred-looking man, few women could resist.
Anyone seeing this would struggle not to pull him into their arms, whispering softly to soothe him.
Except for Josh, she only felt it was deliberate. Even somewhat discomforted, as if being schemed against.
