Immortal in Horror Game: She is the Fortune Teller!-Chapter 98 - 95: Forbidden Nightmare Witch’s Tears 2 (Her Home Turf)
"Got the wrong person." Josh glanced at them indifferently, entered the room, and shut the door with a "bang."
She had no interest in indulging in superficial acts or playing out sisterly dramas with these young girls.
Outside, the two’s faces didn’t look good.
"What’s with the act? No wonder she gets bashed online half to death."
"Yeah, we saw she was alone and wanted to help her, but she didn’t appreciate it. What is she so proud of? Does she really think she’s something just because she joined the Mysterious Guild?"
The two of them left, grumbling quickly.
Inside the room, Josh opened her eyes slowly and sent a message to Yuze: [What is a weapon embedding item?]
Yuze replied promptly: [It’s an item that can be embedded into a weapon to optimize its attributes. For instance, if your weapon’s damage isn’t enough, you can embed damage-related optimization items to enhance its damage.]
Josh’s eyes lit up. If that’s the case, then there’s indeed some merit to this dungeon.
Yuze quickly sent another message: [But such items are extremely rare and can only drop if the dungeon is cleared at an SSS grade.]
A glint of understanding flashed in Josh’s eyes: [I understand.]
Yuze: [What? Does this dungeon have a drop chance for embedding items?]
Josh: [I’m not sure, just overheard two players at the door.]
Yuze: [It’s possible. This is a new dungeon that hasn’t been cleared before, and the first team to clear it would indeed have extra rewards.]
Josh said no more.
Since she was here, this was her playing field.
From the moment she entered the dungeon, she could feel the strong resentment.
Now that it’s daytime, everything is dead and gloomy. One could only imagine what might come out at night.
Additionally, the dungeon’s background description mentioned that previously sent alternative Sacrificial Girls had mysteriously died one after another.
If it wasn’t done by humans, then it’s very likely something unclean is at work.
Suddenly, Josh felt a chilling gaze. She keenly turned her head and noticed an eye peering through the gap outside the window.
She frowned slightly, took two steps forward, and opened the door to find nothing outside.
"Ah!!" A scream suddenly echoed from not far away.
Josh looked in the direction of the sound. It was Lulu speaking just now.
Her face was pale with fright as she stumbled out of the room.
The people nearby gathered around, asking, "What’s wrong?"
"What scared you like this?"
Lulu pointed tremblingly into the room, saying in terror, "There’s... there’s a dead body inside!"
"A dead body?!" The crowd gasped. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
Josh walked over and glanced inside the room.
The others watched her curiously.
Josh withdrew her gaze, saying, "There’s nothing there."
Lulu shouted sharply, "There is! I saw it with my own eyes just now; it rolled out from under my bed!"
Josh pointed at the "corpse" inside and said speechlessly, "Look carefully. That’s called a paper lantern, not a corpse."
"A paper lantern? What is that?" The players, puzzled, took a look inside.
A human-shaped paper lantern had rolled onto the ground. Because it was shaped like a person, it looked particularly lifelike, but how could it be mistaken for a corpse?
There have been ancient-type dungeons before, and lanterns as such ancient items aren’t unseen. Why make such a fuss about it?
Everyone looked at her speechlessly, rolled their eyes, and returned to their rooms.
Unbelievably, Lulu crawled to take a look inside the room. It was indeed a paper lantern.
She looked confused: "How could this be? I clearly saw it was a corpse just now. How could the lantern rolling make such a big noise? Could it be that I was seeing things?"
Josh ignored her and turned back to her room.
From the corner of her eye, she noticed a black shadow flash by.
The chill in the room became more pronounced, accompanied by a faint dripping sound.
Josh sat on the bed, closing her eyes to rest.
Suddenly, the sound of nails scraping across the bamboo bed emerged in her ears, one stroke at a time, as if something was creeping nearer.
She didn’t bother with it.
Soon, waves of chill brushed past her ankles, like something cold slipping over them, leaving behind a slick and chill feeling.
Her livestream chat exploded.
[Holy crap!! How come the high-energy reminder didn’t go off!]
[Upstairs! This is a new dungeon, no reminders can be set! All previous players got scared to death, with different ways of haunting each time!]
[This is indeed a supernatural dungeon! Crazy, I’m terrified of supernatural dungeons! So damn creepy!]
[Did Josh fall asleep? That thing is right beside her, circling around, and she’s not moving at all!]
Josh suddenly opened her eyes, meeting a pair of blood-soaked ones.
She lifted her hand and slapped it away.
With a "smack," the spirit froze, taking a while to react before darting underground.
The chat paused for a moment, then exploded.
[If I saw correctly, she just slapped a ghost, right?]
[You saw right, that smack was loud!]
[Wait a minute, I remember other players can’t touch ghosts, what’s going on? Is she cheating again?]
[Laughing my ass off, questioning hacks every day (1/1 complete)]
[I also want to know, why can she touch ghosts when others can’t? Hard not to suspect she’s hacking, or she’s using some magic trick, purposely keeping it a secret to create hype and rake in points. Players like that are the worst.]
Josh opened the chat and saw just that comment.
She smiled faintly, curling her lips slightly: "Because I’m your dad, with limitless powers."
Chat: [...]
[Oops, got cursed again.]
[Daily ritual of getting cursed in Josh’s livestream (1/1 complete)]
[Upstairs, you really play in a twisted way.]
[So frustrated, don’t understand how people can still be fans of such a rude player who loves to curse.]
[Who’s a fan of hers?]
[Exactly, who’s a fan of hers? We’re her black fans, are those upstairs blind?]
The antis were momentarily confused, unsure if there were any true fans in her stream.
The viewers hadn’t noticed Josh’s little move just now, and wouldn’t understand even if they had.
Just now, she made a sign, though her cultivation was lacking and her inner core diminished, it was enough to deal with a small ghost.
What paranormal dungeon? It’s merely Qiao’s stage for showing off.
Screams from other girls in the neighboring rooms could be heard from time to time.
They were even more harrowing than Lulu’s earlier screams.
It’s like the ghost, venting its anger, was scaring people more maliciously than before.
One player couldn’t take it and bought a clearance token to escape.
Josh touched her chin and thought...
Such a great stage; wouldn’t it be a waste not to do something?
She exchanged her limited Pinduoduo points for a stack of yellow talisman paper, vermilion, and brushes, laying them out on the table, and began scribbling.
