Immortal in Horror Game: She is the Fortune Teller!-Chapter 266 - 261: Strange Divine Academy 6

Seeing Josh just smile without speaking, he felt more and more guilty, and quickly tried to make amends: "I really like you a lot! If I had known this level would encounter you and you would ask me for points in person, I would’ve saved some points!"

He intentionally emphasized the words "ask me for points in person", making it seem like he was unintentionally excited, but it sounded grating no matter how you heard it.

Those with thin skin might not be able to withstand it.

Josh also smiled, acting very familiar with him: "Thank you for liking me so much! I’m so happy. You don’t have to feel guilty; if you manage to get out of this level alive, you’ll definitely have points. You can transfer the points to me afterward as a gift for this meeting."

She pointed to the air and said with a smile: "Anyway, so many fans are watching you in my live stream; someone is bound to remember to remind you!"

The boy smiled awkwardly: "Y-yeah, that’s right!"

He found it hard to cope with Josh’s smile, so he found an excuse to quickly slip away.

"Ugh! Such a vain woman! Asking a guy for points at the first meeting, what rotten luck!" the boy muttered quietly as he walked to a corner.

Josh couldn’t be bothered to deal with people like him.

She was about to lie down and take a nap when suddenly a whistle sounded outside.

All the NPCs suddenly stood up and began heading outside in an orderly fashion.

A loudspeaker voice came from outside: "It’s time for recess prayer. All students please proceed to the central square. The prayer ceremony will start in 1 minute. Anyone late will be severely punished!"

Some were still hesitating, but Josh had already stood up and headed out.

Lulu raised an eyebrow and stopped her: "We haven’t even decided if we should go; are you trying to get yourself killed?"

Josh’s mouth twitched slightly: "All students, which naturally includes freshmen."

Others wavered upon hearing this, as there seemed to be potential death triggers everywhere in this level, and they didn’t dare to gamble.

Josh ignored these people and followed Erin to the central square.

Erin gave her a disgusted look and turned away, quickening her pace.

Josh tried to go up and link arms, but Erin skillfully dodged.

Unable to help herself, Josh clicked her tongue and tried again to grab Erin’s arm, but Erin spiraled away in disgust.

Josh looked at her empty hands, wondering how Erin was more elusive than the Spirit Pig slaughtered during her school’s New Year celebration.

Seeing that Josh went out without incident, the others in the classroom eventually followed suit and left.

Aside from the students coming out of the comprehensive teaching building, there were also students in red uniforms from the Red Academy on the left and students in white uniforms on the right.

A large crowd gathered without any orderly lines.

Josh randomly stood among the crowd.

Several teachers stood at the front, looking at everyone with solemn expressions: "I hope you all don’t forget that today’s peace was bestowed upon you by the divine Pope."

"Never forget!" chanted the NPCs in unison.

One teacher, clad in a white robe, held a small hard-covered white book and gazed reverently at a statue: "The divine Pope grants us light in the darkness."

"The divine Pope grants us light in the darkness," everyone sang in unison.

Josh blended into the crowd, just like everyone else, gazing up at the especially tall, imposing, and lifelike statue while singing hymns of praise.

Teacher: "He saves dirty souls from the mire.

He grants us knowledge and strength.

He cherishes pain and struggle, for it makes us awake.

He created the divine academy to spread light upon us.

He is the great Creator.

Faithful to Him rewards eternal life,

Betrayal leads to eternal suffering in hell.

We praise Him with flowers and light,

Offer life and soul to him,

Only God endures,

Drink my blood,

Devour my soul,

Reveal powers to the world."

Following the teacher, everyone sang line by line, looking up at the statue with eyes filled with devotion and reverence.

Josh wasn’t sure if it was her imagination, but she felt the statue’s expression was somewhat subtly mocking and disdainful.

The statue had no eyebrows, with blackened lips and downcast eyelids, with a serene and gentle look, yet it somehow exuded a creepy eeriness, especially with its gold eyes inlaid with Pala Stone, making it feel increasingly bizarre and sinister as one looked.

Josh squinted, feeling that the statue had some awareness.

Perhaps... she could test it out.

Once the square was less crowded.

Josh followed the majority back to the classroom and glanced at the schedule.

The schedule laid out the specific routine.

It was lunchtime.

Josh glanced lightly at the players: "Hope some people won’t rummage through my desk and mess with my stuff while I’m away, or else my Spider Silk won’t show mercy."

After saying this, she ignored the players with varied expressions and turned to follow the NPCs to the cafeteria for a meal.

The Divine Academy’s cafeteria looked very luxurious, like a buffet, with very abundant and... normal food.

Some players also headed to the cafeteria.

However, the cafeteria required a campus card for purchases, and newcomers didn’t have one yet.

A player rushing in front, perhaps trying to portray a big eater image in the live stream, grabbed a lot of food but ended up sweating profusely because he didn’t have a campus card.

The cafeteria lady at the counter glared at him unpleasantly, her expression growing increasingly bizarre: "No money? Planning to dine and dash and waste the school’s food?"

The boy, overwhelmed, had no choice but to say in embarrassment, "I won’t eat, okay? I’ll put it back!"

The cafeteria lady’s head suddenly stretched out from the window, getting face-to-face with the boy, morphing into a head resembling a snake or a dinosaur, covered in lumps, which made one’s scalp prickle.

"Once taken, food cannot be returned; this is the food safety regulation. Are you trying to break school rules?"

"No... I’m not!" The boy became even more anxious, looking helplessly at other players.

However, the other players, also without campus cards, could only watch helplessly.

The cafeteria lady’s massive mouth bit the player’s head off.

The player didn’t even have time to scream, and after his head was bitten off, his body dropped straight to the ground and was disdainfully dragged away by a cleaning lady.

The NPCs maintaining order glared disapprovingly at the helpless freshmen, with sneers of disdain on their faces: "Every student must eat lunch. Lunch quantities in the cafeteria are fixed. Those who waste food must die!"

Some experienced players started gathering clues; since not eating means death and eating without paying also means death, it implies there’s definitely a place to process campus card payments in this cafeteria. They can’t just sit and wait.

Josh followed behind Erin: "Deskmate, can you treat me to a meal~"

Erin: "Get lost."

Josh shrugged, lining up behind her.

Erin ignored her and got her meal.

When it was time to pay, Josh suddenly pushed her tray atop Erin’s.

Erin glared at her angrily: "Get your stuff off!"

Josh looked surprised: "Didn’t you say you were starving and asked me to help hold some for you? These are all for you to eat; how did it become mine? I’m not paying for you~"

Erin’s face turned as black as the bottom of a pot: "You bitch, you...!"

"Who intends to waste food?" The cafeteria lady’s head stretched out again.
