Immortal in Horror Game: She is the Fortune Teller!-Chapter 304 - 298: Chosen by the Instance

Lulu blinked her eyes, "Captain... what are you doing? Did I bother you again?"

Million had his back turned to her, his whole body stiff, expression tense, "You just now... what man were you calling?"

Lulu scratched her head, "I was just asking Josh to read my marriage fate. She said the man destined for me is within three meters of me. But isn’t it just you and me in this room? That Josh really can’t predict at all! I’m going to argue with her, taking so many of my points, now what, she’s making a fool of me! She must have thought I was in some crowded place, so she could just get away with it, hmph! She didn’t expect it, did she? I’m just here sleeping in the room with the Captain!"

She kept muttering to herself, not noticing Million’s expression growing more rigid.

Lulu still wanted to argue with Josh, but Million held her hand.

Her voice sounded a bit strange in the dark, "Fifty thousand points, just let her have it, go to sleep, didn’t you say she’s someone even praised by Duke Catherine, don’t take it seriously with her."

Hearing Queen Catherine, Lulu settled down a bit, but still felt the pinch, "Alright then... I won’t trust her words next time!"

"Hmm."

*

Ups and downs, ever since Duke Catherine held a press conference to thank Josh for her heroic rescue, public opinion on Josh instantly turned.

Those who previously cursed for her to get out of the Mysterious Guild are now calling her the little hero of Burn City.

After all, Duke Catherine is not just the only female duke among the Federation’s seven great dukes, but also the most popular duke, with countless fervent fans all over Federation Planet.

But Josh didn’t have time for all this.

It’s the end of the year, everyone is busy boosting their performance.

Solo dungeons take the least time and are the fastest to clear.

Rob, who did not meet the performance target, was singled out for solo dungeon runs.

Josh and Yuze both performed well in solo dungeons, so Ma Qi decided to let Yuze and Josh enter as a duo.

Apart from her combat weakness, in terms of overall performance in dungeons, Josh was not inferior to other teammates, even stronger at times.

So pairing up Josh and Yuze for duo dungeons was most suitable.

Yushi looked at Ma Qi resentfully, "We agreed next time I’d go into the dungeon with Little Tactician."

Ma Qi almost forgot about this, he cleared his throat somewhat guiltily, "Then the three of you go together, go into a raid, just to increase the challenge."

Raid dungeons usually require full teams, other teams have at least 5 people, and up to eight to ten people.

Yushi was satisfied with this.

Ma Qi looked at the three of them, "You guys rest well tonight, enter the dungeon tomorrow morning."

"Yes! Coach!"

After the meeting ended, Josh went straight back to the room.

Squeeze in practice time every minute.

Burn City’s dense spiritual energy, all free for the taking.

Back in the day, she used to leech spiritual energy from her senior brother’s abode for practice, he’d even charge her 20 spirit stones a day, so stingy!

She focused on meditative practice, her mind was clear.

The body felt lighter and lighter, as if it were slowly lifting.

In a haze, she saw a patch of blue light.

The familiar light had an inexplicable allure, drawing her in.

The light grew increasingly dazzling.

Josh instinctively squinted her eyes, hearing voices conversing.

"Who are you?" The Pope’s voice rang out, startling her, she instinctively wanted to find a place to hide.

"Who I am is not important; what’s important is, I can take you to her." It was the Mermaid King’s voice.

Josh opened her eyes in astonishment and saw the Mermaid King and the Pope in front of her.

The Strange Divine Academy had turned into a wasteland, a dark ruin, from the cracked stone bricks on the ground black miasma continuously seeped out, as though something underground was trying to break free of its seal.

Plants were desolate, the entire dungeon shrouded in deathly energy, just breathing this air made Josh want to give up on living.

She frowned slightly, looking at the two.

The two seemed oblivious, as though they couldn’t see her at all.

Pope: "You can find her?"

Mermaid King: "Of course, but I need a bit of your power."

He slowly raised his hand, absorbing the Pope into himself.

The Pope’s voice came from within his body, "You better be able to take me to see her."

The Mermaid King curved his lips.

Josh felt a chill all over.

For a moment, she felt the Mermaid King saw her, with eyes filled with anger and reproach, that bizarre feeling was as if...

He had seen through all her deceitful acts toward the Pope.

Suddenly, the Mermaid King approached, his deep blue eyes transforming into an endless ocean, rushing toward her.

Josh startled, instinctively backed away, falling into an abyss.

She awoke with a start, her mind repeatedly flashing those reproachful deep blue eyes.

Outside it was bright daylight.

Seeing the familiar room, Josh breathed a sigh of relief, got up to wash.

After breakfast, the three gathered in the game login room.

Josh looked towards Jiang Can’s room, frowning slightly, "Coach, isn’t Jiang Can coming with us?"

Ma Qi waved his hand, "You guys go ahead, I’ve arranged something else for his training."

Josh pursed her lips, feeling that Jiang Can had been a bit off lately, way too quiet.

Ever since coming out of the Ancient Castle dungeon, he had almost turned as invisible as Yushi.

Forget it, wait till the dungeon is over to see.

Josh and Yuze watched the dungeon on the monitor, drew their Identity Cards, and teleported in.

Joyce, looking at the dungeon on the monitor, frowned slightly, "Why did you draw this dungeon for them?"

Ma Qi shook his head with a wry smile, "It’s not me choosing the dungeon, it’s the dungeon that sought them out."

Joyce looked at him in surprise.

Ma Qi sat down in front of the monitor, a hint of ethereal emotion in his voice, "Don’t you think Josh is different from others?"

Joyce sat down beside him, "She is indeed different, that little girl is quite capable."

Ma Qi shook his head, "No, it’s when she’s in the dungeon. Sometimes I feel the identities she draws are really strange."

Joyce looked at him.

Ma Qi: "Do you still remember the identity she drew the first time she went into the dungeon with Yuze and them?"

Joyce was momentarily at a loss.

Ma Qi: "It was a cat. No player had ever drawn a cat identity in a dungeon before."

"Later, she again drew the Holy Daughter identity in the Forbidden Nightmare dungeon, and then there’s the cyber-bullied Tian Caiji, the girl invited to the castle only to be imprisoned."

Joyce frowned slightly, still somewhat confused, "I don’t understand, what’s wrong with these identities? Aren’t they all normal dungeon identities? Except for the cat being a bit strange. As for Holy Daughter, other players have drawn that too."

Ma Qi gave him a deep look, "These identities all have a common feature, victim."

"In the Horror Hospital, the cat is the victim of that world.

In the Forbidden Nightmare village, the chosen Holy Daughter is the victim of that world.

In the virtual network world, the cyber-bullied Tian Caiji is the victim of that world.

In the Bloody Castle, the girl invited but imprisoned in a golden cage is the victim of that world.

And coincidentally, Josh almost every time, will more or less repeat the suffering these victims have experienced."
