Immortal in Horror Game: She is the Fortune Teller!-Chapter 94 - 91: Divine Guidance (Bonus - )
On the Federation Planet, the Military Department respects strength, and although the concept of male superiority and female inferiority still exists, it has been greatly diluted.
Only those who can awaken spiritual power are considered to have a decent starting point and have a chance to enter the God Creation Game.
On the contrary, those who can’t awaken spiritual power will basically fall to the bottom, no matter how hard they work to earn money or start a business, they’re just "merchants" and can’t rise up.
But in the nobles’ district, the concept of male superiority and female inferiority is extremely severe, even respecting bloodlines.
Even though Cherry bore two sons, both of whom were failures unable to awaken spiritual power, she was looked down upon by the relatives of the Augustine family.
But at least they are sons, having two sons means no fear. As long as she can have another daughter or son who can awaken spiritual power, the Augustine family’s title can be inherited by the eldest son.
When she was pregnant again and gave birth to a daughter, she was full of expectation.
But the result showed she was a failure with F-level spiritual power. To inherit the father’s title to the next generation, it must be ensured that at least one child in the next generation has C-level or above spiritual power.
Every child has a spiritual power assessment at birth, which is the initial assessment.
Some people have a second chance for spiritual power to germinate when they reach adulthood at 18. If they’re lucky, they can advance multiple levels, but some never advance at all in their lifetime.
Josh, born with F-level, even if raised to adulthood, at best would be D-level or E-level, very difficult to reach C-level.
In a fit of anger, she sent her daughter to the Garbage Star.
Glennan merely turned a blind eye.
They had no other way but to adopt a foster daughter with A-level spiritual power, Susanna, from an orphanage.
With Susanna’s reputation, Glennan was successfully elected as the mayor of Granel City, and his eldest son really had a chance to inherit his title.
Cherry looked guiltily at her husband, who had not had a good night’s sleep: "Sorry, it’s all my fault... If I could give the Augustine family a child as excellent as Susanna, you wouldn’t feel so bad."
Glennan drained the wine in his cup and tossed the empty cup to her: "It’s late, go to sleep."
A flicker of gloom flashed in Cherry’s eyes, even if her husband didn’t say so, she could still feel it.
The pressure over the years had grown increasingly heavy, and Glennan held some resentment towards her.
Just hoping Susanna could perform better at the Eden Garden Guild...

After celebrating her birthday with everyone, Josh didn’t rest immediately upon returning to her room. Instead, after washing up, she opened her balcony door and sat cross-legged in the moonlight.
The livelier and more cheerful the atmosphere, the more eager she was to return to her master’s side.
Her inner core was only the size of a grain of rice now, but at least it could still absorb spiritual energy.
Josh quickly calmed herself, slowly closed her eyes, and introduced Qi into the body.
The spiritual energy on the Central Star was far denser than on the small asteroid.
However, because the inner core had shrunk so much, cultivating was particularly difficult.
As long as she could cultivate, nothing else mattered!
She could clearly feel the surrounding spiritual energy gradually being drawn toward her.
Her sea of consciousness was nourished by the spiritual energy.
Josh relaxed comfortably, letting the endless spiritual energy pour into her body.
Half-conscious, she felt her body was continually descending, a force pulling her down.
In the abyss where you can’t see your hand in front of you, she seemed to have forgotten something important.
In the "Horror Hospital" instance.
A new city was being built, and the Underground City was completely filled with earth.
In a certain single room, Code 7 sat quietly.
Quietly waiting.
Josh had promised, she would bring him to live a normal life, teach him how to interact with normal people.
She had told him to wait here for her return.
"Don’t wait, she won’t be coming back."
Code 7 had heard this voice not for the first time.
Ever since he was quietly buried alive underground, that voice would occasionally appear.
He replied expressionlessly: "She will come back for me, she promised."
"No, she won’t be back."
"You’ve already started hating her, haven’t you?"
Code 7’s expression grew solemn: "I don’t hate her, she’s my friend."
"Friend? Hahahahaha... To her, you’re merely an expendable existence, she won’t remember you."
"Think about it, isn’t your tragic fate in this life because of her?"
"She’s the one who brought you pain, the one who made you despair."
"If it weren’t for her, you wouldn’t have been brought back by the director as a test subject."
"If it weren’t for her, you wouldn’t have waited here for her, only to be buried alive again."
"If it weren’t for her, you wouldn’t have to endure these centuries of loneliness."
"Centuries?" A glimmer of confusion crossed Code 7’s face.
"Yes, centuries.
You’ve been buried here for centuries; no one remembers you, no one knows you, and no one cares about your life or death.
Your body has been modified, filled with machines inside, without needing to eat, breathe, or even rest.
But such endless life buried underground, isn’t it torment for you?
Aren’t you getting more and more miserable?"
Code 7 fell silent.
"Admit it, because of her promise, you’ve been endlessly waiting for her to return to you, a process that gives hope and yet torments you, makes you enjoy limitless solitude and agony, a thousand times more painful than the director’s methods!"
Code 7 pursed his lips: "Then what should I do?" 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
"Kill her. Whoever makes you suffer, you kill them. That way you won’t suffer, and she’ll always stay by your side..."
The blackness in Code 7’s eyes expanded, replacing the pale whites.
He could feel himself continuously sinking, with the sound of water gently surrounding him.
Opening his eyes, he saw the deep blue sea, and a mermaid radiating an icy blue light stood before him.
"Who are you?" Code 7’s eyes were filled with vigilance.
Mermaid King stared at him expressionlessly: "You don’t need to know who I am, our pain all comes from her, so we share the same goal."
Code 7 looked at him: "She hurt you?"
Mermaid King gazed toward the frozen seabed in the distance: "She took away my Soul Suppressing Pearl."
Code 7 looked at him with distrust: "You’re lying. Her power isn’t strong; she couldn’t possibly snatch things from you."
Mermaid King quietly looked at her: "I gave it to her, to make her my queen, not to let her leave with the Soul Suppressing Pearl."
Code 7 pressed his lips, after a long silence, he looked at him again: "Can you find her?"
Danger flickered in the Mermaid King’s eyes: "As long as she steps into these myriad worlds, I can trace her."
Code 7: "I only want to be by her side."
Mermaid King: "I will fulfill your wish, come."
A look of determination crossed Code 7’s eyes before transforming into a light, merging into the Mermaid King’s body.
Mermaid King’s eyelids gently lifted, under his thin eyelids, his golden eyelashes and sapphire-like eyes glowed with divine light.
Without the Soul Suppressing Stone, the undersea volcano erupted again. To protect his people, he could only self-destruct his body, sealing the entire underwater world in ice.
Josh had taken away his Soul Suppressing Stone, also taking the hope of life from the underwater residents.
Divine Light pierced down from the sea, illuminating the scene around him.
Mermaid King raised his head, looking towards the direction of the god: "Thank you for your guidance, our god."
The god’s voice penetrated clouds and the frozen sea, deep and ethereal.
"Her existence is to bring you pain, go on child, find her, kill her."
Mermaid King nodded, and vanished from where he stood.
