Immortal in Horror Game: She is the Fortune Teller!-Chapter 84 - 81: Horror Hospital 48 (The Truth Revealed)
Josh recalled the time she was trapped in the duty room, with those dying cats in the bathroom.
People always joke about the saying "cats have nine lives" to highlight the power of their life force.
Yes, even when tortured to that extent, having their nerves and bones stripped, they still did not give up hope for life.
They persist silently, waiting for redemption at the last moment.
Nine lives are nothing more than a strong survival will.
Josh loathed herself at that time, if she hadn’t been so careless, so arrogant, using the summoned monster to break open the duty room door, she might have had a chance to save those cats in the bathroom.
They were desperately trying to save her, even though they were already covered in wounds, even though they were numb from pain, they stood resolutely in front of her.
Even though they didn’t know her.
Later, when Qianqian tried to bribe her, those cats showed no emotional fluctuation, just looked at her with benevolent eyes, as if even if she intended to betray them for survival, they wouldn’t be angry.
How could she vainly assume she could save them just because of her arrogance and complacency?
They shouldn’t be so doomed in the sea of fire, cats shouldn’t be abused like this!
Josh almost ground her teeth to steady her emotions.
She recalled encountering a patrolling soldier who mistook mice for cats when she came out of the Code 7 room.
The look in his eyes, she finally understood now.
It was a kind of hatred and disdain for cats, along with fear after being retaliated against by them.
She turned and left the office, heading back to the rooftop.
Yuze was pressing down on the director, preventing him from making any moves.
Below, the experimental subjects had mostly been destroyed, with only a few scattered parts left. Rob and Yushi were clearing the battlefield below.
These biochemical weapons made from human bodies were the director’s retaliation against the human world.
She silently looked at the director.
The director’s eyes were filled with despair: "Now you know, but unfortunately, it’s too late. These experimental subjects have been cleaned up by you all."
Josh asked Yuze to let him go.
Yuze: "What do you think?"
Josh pressed her lips: "I sent some information in the group, you can take a look."
Yuze nodded.
Josh looked at the director, her voice a bit hoarse: "I still don’t understand one thing, who is the monster inside your body, and why did you allow it to harm the cat group?"
The director’s face was bitter: "It was those who abused me back then. They were filming an abuse video, and they caught your mother, who was pregnant with you at the time. I wanted to protect you, so while water was boiling on the table, I rushed out to overturn the kettle, letting the hot water spill onto the power strip. The short-circuited wiring caused a fire, and that demon and I struggled together..."
After watching the video data, Yuze’s face didn’t look good either.
Below, Rob and Yushi also paused, exchanging glances and looking towards the rooftop.
The director’s face held a bitter smile: "The short circuit caused a fire, igniting three gas cylinders in the kitchen, one of which wasn’t tightened, and the other two followed suit by exploding."
Josh pressed her lips; this was probably the explosion that the base leader mentioned from that night.
The director’s expression slowly calmed down: "When I woke up, I had transformed into a monster that was neither human nor cat, with a brain full of knowledge that didn’t belong to me, and even learned how to use advanced equipment. When I found the ruins, your mother was already dead, but you still had a heartbeat, so I placed you in a freezer. After avenging with the cats, I set up this hospital..."
It matched what the base leader had said.
Josh thought about it for a moment and said, "The base leader in the human world told us that it used to be a City of Cat Lovers."
The director’s face showed a trace of sarcasm: "Yes, they loved watching cats the most, the screams of cats, the contorted bodies of cats, the struggles and blood of cats."
Josh asked again: "But how did the monster inside your body come about?"
The director sighed deeply: "Actually, it was only discovered later that something was amiss. Another person would occasionally replace me in my body, and that’s how Qianqian got led astray by him. When I realized it, Qianqian had already grown up, and I couldn’t change her.
Later, after constant research of data, I realized that perhaps due to the short circuit at the time, the brainwaves of that cat-abusing pervert transferred into my body before his death and coexisted with me.
I thought that was all, but when I saw that familiar ferocious expression on Qianqian’s face, I knew it wasn’t that simple.
Our family members, by nature, could accommodate two people’s brainwaves in their brains,
That monster could traverse any person with a blood relation to me, not only Qianqian but also Chef Li in the canteen, who is actually my brother.
To prevent it from controlling you, I immediately decided to cultivate a body for you and transfer your brainwaves, but the experiment was never successful. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
But what puzzled me was that the monster never managed to control your body."
Josh finally fully understood everything.
The roaming monster couldn’t inhabit her body, partly because she was a player, and also perhaps because her body already contained two souls.
No wonder she would lose consciousness while asleep, allowing another soul to awaken.
She thought it was a system bug, but it turned out to be because her body had the same bloodline as the director.
The director slid down the wall in defeat: "Now you know everything, and humans cannot be exterminated. The biochemical weapons I made all these years have been destroyed by you."
Yuze suddenly asked: "Have you ever thought that with your ability to transform cats into humans, you can strengthen them, establish a Cat Empire, and negotiate with humans?"
Josh nodded along: "Yes, the mutual killing will not last long, and since you can become stronger, you have the qualification to negotiate; revenge doesn’t necessarily have to be so extreme."
The director looked at them and lowered his head: "You won’t understand, no cat would be willing to forgive humans."
Yuze looked at him: "What I mean is to apply the operational mechanism of your Kitty Hospital elsewhere. Who said you have to forgive them? Let them always be your slaves to atone, isn’t that also a solution?"
Josh’s eyes lit up, indeed!
The main quest only mentioned achieving peace, but didn’t define what ’peace’ meant.
So as long as there is no war or casualties between humans and cats, isn’t that peace?
The director was stunned: "How is that possible?"
Yuze curled his lips: "Why not? If they refuse, I’ll make them agree."
The director’s old face was full of confusion: "There are too many humans outside, how could they..."
Josh smiled at him: "We’ll help you, and there’s also Code 7."
A glimmer of hope and light rekindled in the director’s eyes: "You are willing to help us?"
Josh nodded: "Sorry, we were misled before."
