Immortal in Horror Game: She is the Fortune Teller!-Chapter 175 - 174: Gorgeous Cage 11 (Carrying a Man Again by Force)

Chapter 175: Chapter 174: Gorgeous Cage 11 (Carrying a Man Again by Force)

Josh frowned slightly, looking at the overwhelming abuse and malice online, already imagining how strong the monster she would challenge tomorrow would become.

Yuze and Rob quickly exited the game as well.

This time, Rob’s complexion looked much better than yesterday.

The group went downstairs to a humble eatery and ordered a few dishes to eat.

Josh sat down and recounted everything that happened in the online world to them.

Rob sympathetically patted her shoulder, "Are you okay?"

Josh shook her head, "I’m actually fine, after all, this is just a game instance, but it reminded me that I suspect the deaths of those girls are not just due to cyberbullying."

Yuze looked at her, "What do you mean?"

Josh shrugged, "It’s just a guess for now, I’ll talk about it once I find the evidence."

The dishes were served quickly, and the aroma of the roast chicken continuously wafted into her nostrils.

She unconsciously swallowed, "Whose turn is it to pay today?"

Rob nudged with his mouth, "Today, the captain is paying."

Josh looked at the waiter, "Another roast chicken for me, please, separately."

"Alright!"

Yuze, "If you can’t finish it, stuff it in your nostrils." 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Josh made a face at him.

Rob continued with the earlier topic, puzzled, "That deity is targeting you, right? Why? Did you offend him?"

Josh shook her head, "Not sure, maybe we’ll need to investigate the other victims."

Yuze thought carefully, "Lilith and Er Miao."

The last dish was served on the table.

Rob and Josh were starving all day, having just been engrossed in the game without food, and their bodies were those of ordinary people.

Savoring the food’s aroma, they both immersed themselves in eating.

Yuze, "I never imagined that one day I’d be raising pigs in a game, and two at that."

Josh lifted her head with a faint grievance, "I’m still growing, plus I’ve been cyberbullied today..."

Rob quietly lowered his head, trying to diminish his presence.

Yuze’s mouth twitched slightly but said nothing more, and he also picked up his chopsticks to eat.

Josh swallowed a mouthful of rice, "Maybe Lilith and Er Miao’s deaths could reveal something."

She opened the information in the system, "In this identity, Lilith and I grew up as best friends from childhood, maybe we can start investigating from here."

Upon hearing this, Rob also opened the information of the deceased in his hands, "This Er Miao is my cousin."

Yuze opened his deceased’s information, "The neighbor Banban was my... girlfriend."

Josh, "Your girlfriend died and you’re eating so comfortably, aren’t you human?"

Yuze’s eye twitched as he watched her take a poached egg from his bowl.

Josh, "You probably can’t eat it, I’ll help you."

With a blank expression, Yuze snatched the poached egg back, "Mine."

Josh opened her mouth for a bite, looking at him defiantly.

Under her gaze, Yuze unhesitatingly stuffed the entire egg into his mouth.

Josh, "..."

Rob patted her, "Haven’t you figured out what kind of person the captain is?"

Josh’s brows furrowed so much that they could kill a fly, "Doesn’t he have a cleanliness obsession?"

Rob, "Territorial instinct overrides cleanliness, you’re lucky you weren’t beaten for stealing his food."

Josh, "What a shameless animal."

Rob nodded in agreement, "I think you’re starting to understand him now."

Yuze, "...Do you think I’m dead or something?"

The two lowered their heads, engrossed in their meals, ignoring him.

After eating, while it was still light out, the group went to Lilith’s house.

Lilith’s house was not far from there, with only her mother living in a very rundown building, eight stories high without an elevator.

Her mother lived on the eighth floor.

Rob frowned as he looked up at the top floor, "I’ve never seen a building this high without an elevator in my life."

Josh patted his shoulder, "Take your time climbing up, I’ll head up first."

She aimed her spider silk at the top floor, using its contraction to fly up.

Suddenly, she felt a pressure on her shoulder, with a refreshing grassy scent filling her nostrils.

Josh’s face darkened, "You bastard..."

Yuze had effortlessly leapt onto her back, looping his arms around her neck, his long legs awkwardly coiled around her waist, "Anyway, you’re going up. Carrying one more won’t matter."

Josh swore, she had only given two men piggyback rides in her entire life, this one included, across previous lives in the Cultivation World.

Both times, it was him.

Neither was voluntary.

From below, Rob leapt, waving his hands, "Hey! Are you just going to leave me here? Take me too!"

Yuze glanced down, raising his voice, "Keep your wings folded, or we’ll use them for grilled wings tomorrow."

Rob paused in realization, "Oh right, I can fly."

Once the three reached the top floor, they were confronted by a daunting blanket of white.

The top floor had an open balcony, with some clothes hung by the door.

Darkness had set in, with only a dim yellow light by the door illuminating little, accompanied by tiny moths and mosquitoes incessantly striking the bulb, emitting faint sounds.

A white hemp cloth hung above the doorway, indicating the household was holding a funeral.

Josh walked over, hearing the sound of a woman’s weeping from inside, adding an eerie effect to the scene.

Rob shivered, goosebumps rising on his arms, as he tightly clung to Josh’s arm, staying close to her.

Josh knocked on the door, and the sobbing instantly halted, with slow footsteps approaching the door.

The crimson-painted door starkly contrasted with the white hemp hanging above.

The main door creaked open, the interiors even darker than outside.

Awoman’s eerie voice drifted from behind the door, "Who are you looking for?"

Rob jumped, nearly yelping, quickly silenced by Yuze’s quick reflexes as he clamped a hand over Rob’s mouth, pulling him beside him.

The woman at the door could pass for a zombie, gaunt and emaciated, with pallid cheeks and pronounced, bloodshot eyes.

Her hair was disarrayed, dressed in a simple white t-shirt, revealing a frail neck and arms, almost showing her bone structure.

Josh softened her voice, "Aunt, I’m Lilith’s friend, here to...check on her."

"Oh, it’s Xiao Cai...come in," the woman nodded, slowly moving aside to open the door, then shuffled to the side to find the light switch, illuminating the living room.

Josh and the others stepped inside, finally seeing the interior surroundings clearly.

The living room resembled a landfill, obstructive with mounds of garbage, except for a shrine set up by the window, tidy and candlelit, with a black-and-white photo of Lilith.

Upon seeing Lilith’s photo, reams of information about the deceased surged into Josh’s mind, adding to her memories.

In her memories, she and Lilith were high school seatmates, often visiting her home after school.

Lilith’s mother, Aunt Wang, was a warm, cheerful middle-aged woman, remembered as gentle and graceful, the complete opposite of her current state.

Finding no suitable place to sit, Josh stood nearby, "Aunt Wang, don’t be too sad, if Lilith knew how you are now, she’d be heartbroken as well."

Aunt Wang buried herself back in the heap to resume crying, "My daughter, my poor Lilith, she shouldn’t have died, how could she die..."
