Immortal in Horror Game: She is the Fortune Teller!-Chapter 54 - 51: Horror Hospital 19 (The Counterplot Succeeds)
The two of them got the keys and entered the control room.
There was only one computer in the control room, and it seemed to be an ancient model.
Josh awkwardly turned on the computer’s control system and indeed saw the greenhouse chamber on the third underground level.
Different greenhouse chambers had different numbers, with options for turning off lights, stopping gas injection, locking the chamber doors, etc.
Josh unlocked the doors on Yuze and Rob’s chambers.
She then sent a message to Yuze in the group chat: [Rob is in chamber 404 on the 15th floor. Go get him out.]
Yuze responded and immediately pushed the chamber door open and went out.
Josh then looked at the documents on the computer and opened the greenhouse chamber’s data records.
From the data records, it was clear that this greenhouse chamber wasn’t any ordinary sickroom; it was prepared for experiments.
The data also included results from various human experiments.
All these experimental data ultimately led to one conclusion...

Inside the Mysterious Guild’s monitoring room.
Ma Qi looked at the person on the screen in disbelief: "Did you see that?"
His partner laughed and cried: "I saw it!"
Ma Qi excitedly grabbed his partner’s hand: "She and Yushi cooperated so well, they managed to fight two against five! Two against five! Although the guilds sent by the nobles generally aren’t that powerful, relying more on palace intrigue and underhanded tactics, still! An F-rank Spiritual Power User and an S-rank Spiritual Power User, managed to defeat five S-rank Spiritual Power Users!!"
His partner, in pain from the grip, raised a hand to hit him: "Calm down!"
"How can I calm down!" Ma Qi’s eyes were brighter than the lights in the monitoring room: "It’s not just 1+1 greater than 2, it’s greater than 5!! And did you notice, it’s the first time Yuze has been so obedient; after all this time, he actually stayed in the greenhouse chamber obediently waiting for Josh to release him, without breaking anything or even lifting a hand!"
His partner couldn’t help but smile: "That indeed is a miracle."
He thought about it and added: "But we still need to observe a bit more to see if Josh is careful enough; you haven’t fully convinced me yet."
Ma Qi smiled: "Not careful enough? Rob and Jiang Can were both trapped; guess why she asked Yuze to rescue Rob and not Jiang Can?"
His partner frowned slightly: "What do you mean? Maybe it was random?"
Ma Qi shook his head: "No, it wasn’t."
His partner was puzzled: "Then why?"
Ma Qi: "Generally, a tactician would take the opportunity to save all teammates, but Josh didn’t. Because she understood that leaving one informant in the basement makes it easier to gather clues.
Additionally, the one left behind was Jiang Can, not Rob.
We all know Jiang Can is a close-combat tank; his Spiritual Body is a turtle, with extremely strong defense. He’s still maintaining consciousness in the greenhouse chamber, making him the most suitable informant.
While Rob, as the team’s archer, has a fragile health bar but high combat power, rescuing him to join the main team is more useful than leaving him in the greenhouse chamber."
His partner suddenly understood, with a flash of appreciation in his eyes, but then questioned: "Are you sure this is Josh’s strategy and not just your guess? It’s her first time crawling a dungeon with these youngsters."
Ma Qi laughed heartily: "Of course. You shouldn’t underestimate this girl; her acuity and observation skills are terrifying, I assure you, she’s a born tactician. When they get out, I’m going to analyze this exciting two-against-five battle with them!"
His partner hesitantly nodded but still didn’t quite understand.
To him, Josh was just a kid sharper than others; she indeed performed excellently, but Ma Qi was overpraising her.
Ma Qi saw right through his old partner’s thoughts.
He smiled, played back, and pointed at Susan in the video: "Think about it; if it were you, having defeated four opponents, leaving only an unarmed healer, what would you do?"
His partner thought for a moment: "I think there are usually a few options: kill her to force an early game exit;
or recruit her, offering some perks to get her on our side; healers are rare in the game, after all;
or perhaps be a bit kinder and let her go. Many think healers are harmless and pose no threat in the game."
Ma Qi nodded with a smile: "Exactly, that’s what most would do, and that’s where Josh is different."
He zoomed in on the video and smiled: "Now, why do you think Josh hugged her?"
His partner was stumped: "Aren’t the two of them like sisters? Sometimes I really can’t guess what girls are thinking."
Ma Qi shook his head: "You’re wrong. She previously placed a piece of Spider Silk on Susanna and pulled it off when she hugged her.
Also, she doesn’t care about winning or losing at the moment.
If a team is defeated once, they might win next time.
But if you sow discord in a team’s relations, the team might fall apart and never recover.
Josh didn’t care about the battle’s outcome from the start; she was focused on completely dismantling the Angel’s Wings team."
His partner was dumbfounded: "How is this possible?"
Ma Qi patted him: "When the kids come back, I’ll analyze it for you in detail, but trust me, things in Angel’s Wings are definitely not calm right now."

As he expected, things weren’t calm in the Eden Garden Guild’s Angel’s Wings team.
Coach Webb and the four team members were in the meeting room for a battle analysis.
Xue Guo watched the clip on the screen with a gloomy face: "Speak up! Tell me, why were the two of you just standing there doing nothing when Yushi attacked me?"
Qiong and Ma Zixuan looked displeased.
They had just been harshly scolded by Xue Guo.
Honestly, even if he were the captain, he didn’t need to curse like that, right?
They were teammates, not a superior-subordinate relationship!
Ma Zixuan, with a fiery temper, was the first to get angry: "I told you, I was just slow! It wasn’t on purpose!"
He didn’t know why, but at that moment, his hands and feet seemed to freeze for a bit, as if something was in front of him, preventing him from acting in time.
But no matter how much he explained, Xue Guo wouldn’t believe him.
Xue Guo sneered: "But that’s not your usual speed! Your Spiritual Body is a white dove; you could have flown over to assist, but you didn’t."
Feeling wronged, Ma Zixuan rolled his eyes and turned his head away.
Xue Guo then looked at Qiong, "And you! Your Spiritual Body is an elephant; although your movement speed isn’t high, you could have used your trunk to shoot bullets when Yushi was about to attack me, and you did nothing. You both just stood and watched me get attacked."
Sun Qimeng was getting a headache from the arguing: "Enough! Can we stop fighting? All three of you just stood by and watched Yushi seriously injure me, didn’t you do nothing too?"
