Immortal in Horror Game: She is the Fortune Teller!-Chapter 77 - 74: Horror Hospital 41 (Code 7 Defected)
In the darkness, the two exchanged glances.
Josh had become human, but her body still retained cat-like traits, with excellent night vision.
Although the other person’s tone carried a chilling coldness, there was nothing but confusion in their eyes as they looked at her.
Josh struggled a bit, but the other’s restraint was like the metallic clasps on an operating table, tightly holding her in place.
She had no choice but to look at Code 7: "If I escape, wouldn’t you also benefit? This way, you wouldn’t need to sacrifice your body."
"Why?" Code 7 looked at her, confusion in his eyes: "Why do you want to escape? Isn’t my body exactly what you all want?"
After the final tempering, his skin was impenetrable by knives and bullets, he didn’t need to eat or breathe, and all his joints and organs had been optimized to the extreme.
Even in the dark, his eyes could easily lock onto her position using infrared.
His combat power and destructive strength were far greater than even a military unit’s firepower.
No one wouldn’t want his body.
Josh met his gaze and suddenly understood.
Even with such destructive power, his heart remained as pure as a child’s.
Only the simplest child-like emotions.
Because he had never been exposed to the outside world.
Suddenly, Josh came up with an idea and said to him: "Come with me, I’ll take you out of here, back to the human world."
"The human world?"
Josh nodded: "The people there are just like you, normal humans, no cats will enslave or harm you anymore."
Code 7’s eyes showed a hint of confusion, and his grip on her body tightened slightly: "I don’t understand what you’re saying."
Josh was squeezed painfully, she gritted her teeth to endure the pain and looked at Code 7: "Don’t you want freedom? I can give you freedom, as long as you come with me!"
"Freedom." Hearing this word, Code 7’s eyes lit up.
Then he became wary again, grabbing Josh’s neck in anger: "Because of you, I lost my freedom! You will give me freedom?"
His hand didn’t use much force.
He couldn’t actually harm Josh, only restrict her movements.
Josh nodded: "Of course, not only can I give you freedom, but I can also give you friends, as long as you come with me."

Yuze took the two of them to the director’s office and forcefully pried open the door.
It was daytime now, with no monsters around.
Another team had also arrived.
They were obviously here to find clues too.
This team looked particularly disheveled and was incomplete.
Yushi expressionlessly blocked the doorway to the director’s office, and the two of them didn’t dare to approach.
Yuze and Rob quickly found the computer, opened the files, and entered the password.
[Ding! Congratulations on unlocking the key clue "The Director’s Secret Virus", main storyline progression increased by 10%, current progress 60%.]
He skimmed through the information rapidly, finally understanding why so many people came to the hospital.
The director researched a mysterious virus that was highly contagious, causing humans to grow cat fur all over their bodies, suffocating in agony but unable to die, requiring cat genes for treatment.
This was why humans kept flocking to this hospital.
The director wanted to use this method to continually obtain fresh test subjects, allowing him to research human genes more conveniently.
Researching these was for two reasons, one was to better understand human genetic structures and develop a more contagious virus capable of completely eradicating humans.
The other was to better transplant cat genes and brainwaves into robust human bodies to strengthen the cat race.
And all of this ultimately pointed to one goal: the destruction of humanity.
Rob suddenly realized: "So that’s it~"
"No." Yuze shook his head with a somber expression.
Rob looked at him puzzled: "Captain, why do you seem unhappy after getting a new clue?"
Yuze furrowed his brow: "What’s there to be happy about? This completely contradicts the clues we gathered before. How could a man wholeheartedly dedicated to strengthening the Meow Meow Sect be a cat-abuser and pervert?"
"Oh right..." Rob remembered that Josh seemed to have told him this too.
Yuze stared at the data.
The system already provided the reason for the main storyline task progression, meaning that the clues on the computer were correct. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺
But the previous clues they gathered also showed task progression, so those clues were correct too.
If both statements are true, then it can only mean one thing: the problem lies with the director.
There must be some other secret about him that they’ve yet to discover.
While Yuze was pondering, he suddenly felt a strong pull at his waist. Unprepared, he was dragged backward.
Rob asked cluelessly: "... Captain, what are you doing?"
Yuze’s mouth twitched: "... It’s Josh."
Rob’s expression turned strange, hesitating for a moment before asking: "... Josh, what are you doing?"
Yuze: "..."
He steadied himself and looked to his waist.
The pulling force had come from somewhere.
Did something happen to Josh?
Facing Code 7, not to mention her, even he wasn’t entirely confident.
In this scenario, his power was significantly suppressed, while that test subject’s strength was unfathomable.
Yuze turned to Rob: "Quick, smell for any trace of Josh’s scent, find her!"
Rob glared at him resentfully but, under the pressure of his authority, begrudgingly scrunched his nose to follow the scent, using himself like a tracking dog.
Indeed, there was a faint scent of Josh lingering in the air, but it was so subtle it was almost impossible to track the direction or location.
Yuze searched through other things nearby for clues.
Rob’s eyes suddenly lit up, having caught a clear scent that was very close, right nearby!
"Found it!"
Upon hearing this, Yuze was about to approach.
With a loud "bang," the floor burst open, and two figures emerged from below.
Rob let out a wailing scream, clutching his face as he backed away.
Josh and Code 7 had just barely stabilized themselves when Yuze swiftly dashed over, pulling Josh behind him.
As Yuze’s blade was about to strike, Josh quickly stopped him: "Wait a moment!"
Yuze was pulled back by her Spider Silk, frowning slightly.
Josh quickly explained: "He’s a good guy!"
Rob, covering his face, looked bewildered: "He’s a good guy?"
Yuze raised an eyebrow slightly: "You turned him?"
Josh rubbed her nose: "Sort of."
Yuze scrutinized Code 7 with suspicion, while Code 7 looked back expressionlessly.
The atmosphere between them was particularly eerie.
Yuze snorted: "Why are you staring at me like that?"
Code 7: "You were the one looking at me first."
Yuze: "..."
Doesn’t seem that foolish, so how did he get turned?
With such a high combat capability, he felt a bit of an itch to spar.
Josh involuntarily twitched her lips as she separated the two: "We should move quickly, or the director will catch up."
Rob blinked: "Weren’t we supposed to look for clues in here?"
Josh: "Didn’t you find the clues? Now we can leave."
"Where to?"
"Outside the hospital."
