Immortal in Horror Game: She is the Fortune Teller!-Chapter 255 - 250: Bloody Castle 31

She shook her head, dismissing the strange thoughts from her mind.

Just as she was about to lie down, she suddenly touched something cold and slippery beneath her.

When she took it out and looked, it turned out to be something resembling a fish scale. It was a cold white that shimmered with starlight but refracted a fantastical array of colors under the light.

She rubbed the scale, thinking how big the fish must be for it to have such a large scale?

How did it end up on the bed?

She brought the fish scale close to her nose and sniffed it. A fresh, serene fragrance wafted over her, dispelling much of the pain and dizziness in her head.

Josh looked at the fish scale with a bright gaze, clutching it in her palm.

It was strange. Such a large fish scale wasn’t something you’d ordinarily see, so how did it suddenly appear on the bed?

Sisi quickly came in with breakfast. Seeing the fish scale in her hand, a momentary stiffness flashed across his face before returning to normal.

"How did that end up with you?" Sisi smiled as he sat by the bed, placing the breakfast on the bedside table.

Josh said honestly, "I found it under the covers."

Sisi chuckled, "That’s a mermaid’s scale, you know."

"Mermaid?" Josh widened her eyes in surprise, "Are there really such things as mermaids in the world?"

Sisi nodded, "Of course, but mermaids are wicked and lascivious creatures that bewitch people with their songs. If you hear a mermaid’s voice, never respond, understand? Otherwise, they’ll be able to pinpoint your location from your voice and take you away."

Josh nodded obediently, "Okay."

Feeling a bit sleepy, she drank some water and lay down to sleep, quickly dozing off.

Seeing her asleep, Sisi gently took the fish scale from her hand and turned to leave.

As soon as the door closed, Josh opened her eyes.

The fragrance from the mermaid scale still lingered in her palm.

There was something off about Sisi.

He was hiding something.

Josh sniffed the mermaid fragrance in her palm and closed her eyes again.

No.1 Mansion.

In the hospital room, Josh slowly opened her eyes and sat up on the bed.

She nudged Yuze, who was beside her. Perhaps because she had just awoken, her voice was a bit hoarse and soft, "Did we clear the level? Where is this?"

Seeing her awake, Yuze’s face lit up with a hint of joy, "I’ll get the doctor to come and check on you."

The doctor was called over quickly, along with the other members of the ’Troublemakers.’

After giving Josh a full-body examination and confirming her fever had subsided, the doctor said, "Great, the fever has gone down; you can go home, though you still need to supplement your diet with plenty of fresh food due to some malnutrition."

Rob patted her, "You’ve been pampered sick, haven’t you? Two days after clearing the level, and you’re only waking up now?"

Josh playfully slapped back, "Not as spoiled as you!"

Rob, as if praised, raised his eyebrow proudly, "Of course, your thick skin can’t compare to mine!"

Josh rolled her eyes at him, amused, "Get lost!"

The group bantered and laughed as they headed back to the second floor.

Yuze suddenly called out to her, "Josh?"

Josh stopped in her tracks and turned to look at him, "What is it, Captain?"

Yuze’s dark eyes stared intently at her without blinking.

Feeling a bit puzzled being stared at, Josh asked, "What is it? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Yushi and Rob also stopped, "What is it, Captain?"

Suddenly, Yuze rushed forward, grabbed Josh by the neck, and pushed her hard against the wall.

"Captain!" The other three reacted swiftly, rushing over, but they couldn’t stop him.

Rob watched anxiously as Josh’s face turned red from being choked and said, "Captain, what are you doing? She just got better! No matter how angry you are, you can’t hit a girl!"

Jiang Can also rushed to hold down his arm, "Yeah! We only have one girl on our team. Even if she doesn’t cling to us like she’s calling us big brothers, you still can’t treat her like she isn’t one."

Yuze glared at Josh with a dark expression, "Get out of her body!"

Josh felt suffocated, her beautiful eyes brimming with tears. Her feet helplessly kicked in the air, "Yuze... I... damn you! You... let go! I’m Josh..."

"Captain!" Yushi said sternly, trying to stop him.

The strength of the three couldn’t restrain Yuze, and they were forcibly thrown aside.

Yuze’s fingers tightened, his face covered in frost, "I’ll say it again, get out of her body!"

Josh was nearly choking and turning white-eyed, her struggle growing weaker.

The people around, who had been with Yuze for years, seeing his behavior, still chose to believe him despite not knowing what was happening.

Rob patted his arm, "Captain, no matter what, this body is Josh’s, right? If you strangle her, what will she do when she comes back?"

These words successfully returned Yuze to his senses.

He slightly relaxed his grip and suddenly released a Spiritual Body into Josh’s Spiritual Sea.

The Spiritual Body, a pastel pink spider he was paired with, was asleep in the Spiritual Sea, seemingly showing no signs of anomaly.

A golden Maine Coon cat sniffed around the sea of consciousness and suddenly, as if it sensed something, leaped forward.

The sleeping spider was flipped out, revealing a gleam beneath it.

Seeing the situation turn dire, the gleam quickly tried to escape but was intercepted halfway by the Maine Coon, which tore it into pieces.

Yuze opened his eyes sharply and caught Josh as she fell.

Jiang Can leaned over nervously, "How is it? You didn’t strangle her, did you?"

Yuze handed Josh to Rob, "Take care of her. Her consciousness is still trapped in the game. I have to go find her."

"Hey..." Rob quickly grabbed him, "Do you want to die? Entering and exiting the same game frequently in a short time violates the rules and puts tremendous pressure on the Spiritual Sea!"

Jiang Can also worriedly said, "Exactly! If your Spiritual Sea collapses, how will we explain it to the coach? He’ll kill us!"

"Get me a leave of absence with the coach!" Yuze left this sentence and ran back to the third floor’s game login room.

Josh’s stream had already ended.

But if you looked closely, you’d find that the stream’s camera had been cut, but on the monitor’s end, Josh’s game was still ongoing.

So that’s how it is!

Josh hadn’t been rescued at all!

Without hesitation, Yuze opened the login interface and pressed the button.

The interface began to load.

Re-entering the game through loading is different from the first time entering. Loading into a game causes significant damage to the player’s spiritual power. The player must withstand great pressure from the transfer to reach the loading point.

Otherwise, if everyone could load into games, the difficulty would become a joke.

Yuze re-entered the game, and when he opened his eyes, it was completely dark.

The entire castle was shrouded in black smoke, making it almost impossible to see anything.

Not far away, a blob of blue light flickered dimly.

Yuze walked over, and upon seeing the person in the blue light, his face darkened, "Why is it you, dead fish?"
