Immortal in Horror Game: She is the Fortune Teller!-Chapter 228 - 226: Bloody Castle 7

Josh shrugged: "Someone with a fever can sleep anywhere, right?"

The girl seemed to think of something and suddenly laughed: "Alright, then go to sleep, I won’t bother you anymore."

Josh nodded, said goodbye to her teammates, and then left the dining room.

However, she didn’t go back to her room immediately but instead turned towards the kitchen.

The maid at the door stopped her again, with displeasure on her face: "I believe Mr. Thomas made it clear that you guys can’t enter the kitchen."

Josh wore a kind smile: "Of course I know, but I just found a really great spice that I wanted to give to the head chef. I’m sure he’ll love it, he seems like the kind of person who’s very passionate about ingredients and spices."

The maid’s face showed a hint of hesitation.

Josh realized she had guessed correctly.

The maid still blocked her: "No matter what, you can’t go in, or Mr. Thomas will be angry."

Josh chuckled: "Mr. Thomas is busy every day, as long as you don’t say anything, how would he know I was here? You help out in the kitchen every day. If the head chef knows you brought me in to give him a spice, he might be so happy that he promotes you to kitchen manager, right?"

Hearing the word "promotion," the maid’s eyes clearly brightened up. After hesitating for a moment, she finally nodded: "Alright, follow me."

Josh chuckled: "Thank you, beautiful miss."

Upon hearing this, the maid’s expression became even friendlier: "This way, be careful not to bump into anyone."

Josh continued to flatter her: "You’re so kind and considerate. The head chef is really lucky to have you helping him."

The maid could hardly contain her smile: "No, the head chef is a gentleman and elegant, it’s my honor to help in the kitchen."

Josh was brought to the head chef, who was preparing ingredients for the evening.

Seeing her, the head chef looked a bit surprised: "Why are you in the kitchen again?"

Josh smiled: "I discovered some small plants in the backyard this morning. After grinding them into powder, I found them incredibly aromatic. I thought maybe you’d be interested in them."

The head chef indeed showed interest: "Oh? Let me see."

Josh handed him a small bag containing the "Thirteen Spices" powder, which she had pre-exchanged on Pinduoduo and re-packaged.

Her senior sister had said this stuff was a specialty from her hometown, just a little bit in the dish can make it incredibly delicious.

The head chef took a bit of the powder, smelled it at the tip of his nose, tasted it, and his eyes lit up: "Oh my God! This is incredible! Where did you find it?"

[Ding! You’ve gained 10 affection points from the head chef, current affection level: 40%.]

Josh smiled slightly: "It was in the corner of the backyard, there was only one plant, exceptionally fragrant. I originally wanted to pick it as a spice, but this aroma seems more suitable for cooking, so I thought of giving it to you first."

"Thank you, my esteemed guest! It’s the wisest choice for the Prince to invite you to the castle as a guest!" The head chef’s face was filled with excitement and joy.

Josh appropriately showed a bit of helplessness on her face: "I have to go now, talking about it is really annoying, I still have to change rooms tonight. You know, I’m sick and frail, and I’m not sure if I can choose a room."

Upon hearing this, the head chef pondered for a moment, "That’s indeed very difficult, you’re too frail."

Josh nodded seriously: "Yes..."

The head chef hesitated for a moment, then picked the largest long knife from the kitchen tools and handed it to Josh: "Maybe you can use this."

[Ding! Congratulations, you’ve obtained an item, an exceptionally sharp long knife that can shred anything.]

Josh happily received the knife, almost as tall as her, looking a bit embarrassed: "This knife seems to be crafted with precision and is incredibly sharp. I’ve never seen such a beautiful and sharp knife, it must be very valuable to you, right?"

The head chef nodded with a smile: "It’s a long knife I use specially for cutting and slicing big ocean fish and seafood, incredibly sharp, as easy to cut meat as tofu. You can borrow it for a few days."

Josh stored the item in her system’s inventory: "Thank you so much."

She bid farewell to the head chef and turned back to her room.

Before she could close the door, a hand slipped in from outside, holding the door open.

Josh raised an eyebrow, impatient already?

She opened the door and saw the quadruplets outside.

The sister among them waved at her with a sweet smile: "Hello, I know you, you’re Josh, right?"

Josh returned the smile warmly and opened the door, stepping aside: "Thank you for visiting, come in please."

The group exchanged looks and saw the unspoken murderous intent in each other’s eyes.

Josh had already turned around, inviting them in while brewing tea.

Without turning her head, she said: "Could you please close the door behind you? I’m running a fever, can’t stand the cold wind, my head hurts terribly."

"Sure," came the voice from behind.

In the opposite room, Mina and Solong looked at the closed door number four and shook their heads in unison.

What a fool, deserved to die.

The newcomers clearly came with ill intentions, and yet she actually opened the door to let them in.

Mina felt a bit sorry: "She was the weakest, E-level spiritual power, and on top of that, she had a fever, the best target, but unfortunately, the two sets of twins got to her first."

Solong patted her shoulder: "It’s okay, we’ll wait for the twin sisters to be alone and then make our move."

Mina nodded.

Soon, pitiful screams came from the room.

Mina and Solong stood guard at the door.

If they wanted to seize the room, aside from Josh, they’d have to start with the two sets of twins.

The other four people in the Golden Shit Stirrer team, they dared not provoke.

Before long, the door opened.

Mina and Solong craned their necks, only to see Josh.

Josh coughed twice, seeing the team in the room opposite.

Inside the room, two teammates were discussing something, with Mina and Solong standing at the door.

Josh was momentarily stunned, then smiled and nodded: "Hello."

Mina looked at her in shock: "How could you..."

Solong interrupted her, addressing Josh: "We just saw the two sets of twins enter your room, where are they?"

Josh chuckled: "They’re in my room, but my room is really too cold, cough cough... I’m just about to go find Mr. Thomas to have him change me to a room with a fireplace."

Solong and Mina fixed their gaze on her, seemingly trying to discern something from her demeanor.

Josh paid them no more mind and turned downstairs.

Mina watched her frail silhouette.

Those thin arms and legs, weak and unstable steps, coughing every few steps, she seemed so easy to kill.

"Could it be they haven’t made a move yet?"

Solong thought for a moment: "But there were indeed screams coming from the room just now."

Mina wanted to check her room, but found it already locked.

The two had no choice but to give up.
