Immortal in Horror Game: She is the Fortune Teller!-Chapter 324 - 318: Rose and Nightingale 20

The shadowy figure of the man transformed into a thick fog and dispersed.

The man on the throne slowly opened his eyes, a flash of alluring red crossing them: "As long as you can walk to me from this path, it proves that you love me."

Josh lowered her head, the fog beneath her feet dissipated a little, and the path of roses became clearer.

She looked at the man: "Just like that?"

The man curved his lips into a smile, looking at Josh, the gloom dissipating, with a trace of anticipation and enchantment in his eyes: "Just like that."

Josh lowered her head, just about to take the first step when she realized her shoes had somehow disappeared.

Her bare feet were exceptionally white and delicate, strikingly lush against the backdrop of red roses.

As she was about to take the first step, her foot felt a hidden thorn under the roses.

Almost instantly, her delicate foot seemed to be pierced like tofu, suddenly seeping with drops of blood.

Josh frowned slightly, her eye suddenly catching sight of what appeared to be several slumbering corpses hidden under the nearby rose vine.

It was easy to tell at a glance that they were corpses because bluish patches of decomposition had already appeared on them. They appeared to be a man and a woman, intertwined and lying together, the woman’s face tilted up in the man’s embrace.

Her face seemed to carry a smile, her eyes closed, looking very content.

But the expression of the man holding her was extremely ferocious, with one hand’s fingers deeply gouging into the woman’s left eye.

The other hand was tightly strangling the woman’s neck, as if he wanted to throttle her.

The man’s voice came from beside her: "Aren’t they deeply in love?"

Josh turned her head and saw the man so close to her.

Their noses were touching.

The intoxicating fragrance of roses surrounded her.

Josh instinctively squinted her eyes; the scent of roses was quite intoxicating.

The man suddenly chuckled, his Adam’s apple slightly rolling, and he leaned in, biting her lower lip.

Josh: "!!!"

The man affectionately rubbed his nose against hers.

Josh’s pupils contracted, and suddenly an image flashed in her mind of her lying in Yuze’s arms.

She seemed startled, curled up and crying incessantly.

Yuze was in his Beastification State, with cat ears and paws revealed.

Josh was just crying, hugging his cat paw pad anxiously, refusing to let go.

Yuze’s expression seemed a bit helpless, mixed with amusement.

He suddenly leaned closer, touched the tip of his nose to Josh’s, rubbing it, taking in her scent and letting her take in his scent like a cat.

The images vanished, Yuze’s face overlapping with the man in front of her, whose features were as lush as roses.

Josh felt a moment of confusion; just a second ago, she had captured a strange sense of familiarity.

Especially his posture when he kissed her, which was remarkably like the Mermaid King.

But when he rubbed her nose, it inexplicably reminded her of Yuze.

Josh suddenly grabbed his hand: "Who are you exactly?"

The man’s hand turned into a cloud of red smoke in hers and dissipated, reforming after a few steps back.

He looked at her with a smile in his eyes: "Have you heard the story of the Rose and Nightingale?"

Josh shook her head.

"Then come find me after you know it."

The man’s voice became ethereal and elusive.

The surroundings gradually became blurry.

Josh felt a momentary dizziness and realized she was back in the town.

Yuze was leading her across rooftops, avoiding the monsters chasing them.

"Captain..." Josh opened her eyes.

"Awake?" Yuze set her down beside him, slicing two approaching monsters in half with a blade.

The two stood on the highest rooftop, below them monsters were chaotically spreading, constantly climbing, trying to reach the roof and drag them down.

"Are you alright? What happened to you? You suddenly fainted." Yuze looked at her, with a hint of undetectable concern in his eyes.

Josh suddenly recalled the scenes she witnessed in the Illusion Realm and blushed: "Nothing..."

The rose reappeared, and all the monsters calmed down.

Yushi scratched his head, "Wasn’t tonight too easy?"

Yuze also found it odd; compared to last night, the monsters seemed to be having a bit of fun tonight.

More like disorderly monsters without human direction, simply frolicking and chasing people for fun.

With the rose’s appearance, a new judgment descended once more.

After the judgment, the residents found new partners and went home quietly.

The players’ judgments remained mostly unchanged.

Except that when it was Josh’s turn, within her light sphere, the rose from last night had turned into a manifest figure of the man she just saw sitting on the rose throne in the Illusion Realm.

Back at the inn.

Josh felt somewhat dazed.

Yuze continued making his bed on the floor, yawning: "Today was pretty relaxing, the rose monsters’ scent also faded a lot."

Josh stared at him, suddenly asking: "Captain, have I ever clung to you, crying my heart out? Did you ever rub noses with me?"

Yuze suddenly froze: "Wha... what crying?"

Josh leaned closer, clung to his hand: "Just like this, I held on to your hand without letting go, crying uncontrollably. You played with me with your cat paws, and let me touch your cat ears, rubbing my nose with yours."

Yuze’s ears quickly turned red: "Why... are you suddenly asking this?"

Josh squinted her eyes; the revelation took a sudden turn; she seriously said: "I remembered it all."

Seeing this, Yuze became even more uneasy, and with a pop, his cat ears "popped" out.

Josh’s focus immediately shifted to the cat ears.

Yuze was unaware and awkwardly cleared his throat: "It’s just... you know, when you awoke in your Beastification, only I was with you. That day, some of the kids from the second team broke in accidentally and startled you. When I came back, you clung to me and couldn’t stop crying. Emotions during Beastification can affect the state, so I comforted you..."

"I didn’t mean anything else, at least not when you were so little. It was all just to make you happy, don’t worry, I didn’t take advantage of you."

His explanation quickly unraveled the incident of him looking after Josh during her Beastification.

Josh came to realize: "So that’s how it was..."

Yuze nodded, then suddenly sensed something amiss, staring at Josh, his face darkening: "Were you tricking me?"

Josh shook her head seriously: "No, I wasn’t."

Yuze lifted his hand, pinching her chubby cheek: "Hmm? No?"

The feel of her skin under his fingers was soft and gummy; unknowingly, she had grown more rounded since joining the team, no longer looking like a child straight out of a refugee camp.

Her skin, fair and tender, made her truly resemble a young girl.

She looked more pleasing with nurturing.

He had nurtured her himself!

Yuze raised his eyebrows, inexplicably filled with a great sense of achievement.

Josh swatted his hand away: "I really remembered!"

She then recounted the things Yuze told her about the period of Beastification: "See, I remembered, didn’t I?"

Yuze: "..."
