Immortal in Horror Game: She is the Fortune Teller!-Chapter 56 - 53: Horror Hospital 21 (Trapped in the Duty Room)

Chapter 56: Chapter 53: Horror Hospital 21 (Trapped in the Duty Room)

Rob slowly woke up next to him: "Captain..."

Yuze looked over with a smile: "You’re awake?"

Rob scratched his head and sat up: "Did I sleep for a long time?"

Yuze patted his shoulder kindly: "Not long, not long. Sleep a bit more, and you might just wake up having won!"

Rob was scared to tears.

Josh’s mouth twitched slightly: "Stop scaring him, let’s split up. I’ll assign the tasks."

Yuze shrugged: "Up to you."

Josh said: "The confidential file in the principal’s office might contain secrets about the main storyline. I’ll first tackle Qianqian’s side quest to see if I can unlock the password."

Yuze nodded.

Josh looked at Yushi: "You can move around easily; if possible, go to the principal’s office and see if there are any clues about the password there."

Yushi nodded.

Josh then looked at Yuze and Rob: "I saw a bunch of cat corpses in the cafeteria’s freezer. That’s definitely not something simple."

Yuze squinted: "Are you saying that in a hospital that highly reveres cats, you saw a bunch of cat corpses?"

Josh nodded: "And those cat corpses were all wounded, like they’ve been tortured. I don’t know if those bodies are still there, so you guys should check it out. This task might be quite dangerous, so you two are better suited."

Yuze nodded: "Alright, got it."

The four of them split up to take action.

Josh returned to the hospital’s infirmary, and the strange feeling in her body made her pause.

With a "pop", she suddenly reverted to a small cat shape, crawling out from a pile of clothes.

Could there be a time limit to turning human?

Oh well, staying as a cat might make it easier to win over Qianqian.

She followed the crowd into the elevator.

Qianqian had just come back from rounds.

Josh quickly matched her pace, "Meow~ meow~"

Qianqian heard the sound, turned her head, and saw the little creature on the ground, exclaiming in surprise: "Is it you~ Cute little one."

Josh rubbed her head against Qianqian’s palm.

[What a soft and obedient little creature, makes me want to strangle it!]

Josh: "..."

Qianqian picked her up, cradling her in her hands: "Little one, you must be hungry? Your human pet’s test results are great, soon you’ll always be with your human pet, aren’t you happy?"

It seems Qianqian doesn’t know that Yuze has escaped.

Feigning ignorance, she cozily nestled in Qianqian’s hands, affectionately snuggling her.

Qianqian took her back to the ward, fed her, and was about to leave.

Josh quickly followed.

To win over Qianqian’s favor, of course she had to follow.

Josh bit onto the hem of Qianqian’s pants, rolled over onto her back, and adorably begged for attention.

[Ding! Gained 10% affection from Qianqian.]

It seems acting cute works. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Qianqian couldn’t help but laugh: "You silly little one, why are you so clingy. Well, since your human pet won’t be returning, you might as well come with me."

Josh happily followed Qianqian back to the duty room.

The sky slowly darkened, and Qianqian was the only one in the duty room.

She placed Josh on the table, smilingly warned her: "I have to work now, don’t make trouble, or else I’ll have to kill you~"

Josh meowed obediently, already accustomed to Qianqian’s intermittent macabre jokes.

She glanced around and saw a photo frame on Qianqian’s desk.

The frame seemed to hold a picture of her with someone else.

Josh’s suspicions grew clearer.

Qianqian sat down with a notebook at the computer and began working.

Josh surveyed the room.

It was just a typical duty room with a bed and a desk.

Suddenly, she caught a whiff of something unusual on the tip of her nose.

A scent of blood mixed with something else familiar.

She couldn’t quite place it.

New environments naturally make cats curious, so she boldly jumped down from the table to explore.

She sniffed along the direction of the blood scent, wandering from the desk to the bathroom door.

The gap under the bathroom door was wide enough for a finger to fit through, allowing the scent to waft out unchecked.

Suddenly, her gaze locked with a pair of eyes inside the bathroom!

Josh’s body froze.

"Ah, you found it," Qianqian’s eerie voice echoed behind her.

Josh spun around, seeing Qianqian crouched behind her at some point.

Qianqian wore a sinister grin: "Don’t be afraid, you’ll soon be just like them."

Josh backed away cautiously.

The bathroom was full of cats barely clinging to life from abuse.

The eyes she locked with belonged to one of these cats, dead but not at peace.

The stench of blood mixed with the scent of cats continuously wafted from the bathroom.

Qianqian’s twisted smile grew as everything about her screamed horror, sweat dripping from her forehead out of sheer excitement.

She lunged at Josh.

Josh quickly sidestepped.

She tried to turn back into a human but failed.

Qianqian watched her stop and lunged again.

Josh cursed under her breath, continued to dodge, quickly scanning the room.

There was nowhere to hide in this room.

Even under the bed had no gaps, and the doors and windows were sealed.

Qianqian let out a cold laugh and opened a drawer under the desk, revealing various tools inside.

Lighters, candles, needles, whips, an array of stun guns, surgical tools, screwdrivers, and more...

The surroundings began to shimmer with water-like ripples, and that familiar dizziness assaulted her again.

Qianqian’s menacing smile slowly overlapped with the chef Josh saw in the cafeteria.

It’s that monster again!

Her guess was right, it was a roaming monster that could attach to other NPCs at will.

The only miscalculation was not knowing she couldn’t turn back once she reverted to a cat form.

She might need to revisit the pool on the third basement level.

But clearly, it was too late now.

Qianqian swiftly cornered her against the wall, whip in hand.

Josh watched her warily, instinctively hissing, showing her claws, ears drawn back aggressively, her back arched.

This only made Qianqian more excited, even to the point of trembling: "Run now, let’s see where you’ll run to!"

Qianqian screamed excitedly, hissing, madly swinging the whip towards Josh.

The corner was small, with the desk on the left, walls to the right and behind, and Qianqian blocking the front.

Josh could only desperately dodge in the confined space.

But Qianqian swung the whip too quickly, and inevitably, Josh got hit a few times, slowing down.

In her cat form, she couldn’t summon any weapons, and gritted her teeth, staying alert to the approaching person.

Qianqian laughed maniacally: "Keep dodging! Keep dodging!"

She lunged forward suddenly.
