Immortal in Horror Game: She is the Fortune Teller!-Chapter 18: Facing Off Against the Mermaid King

Chapter 18: Chapter 18: Facing Off Against the Mermaid King

Just like the previous two nights, it was the chanting of the puppets and the bloodthirsty performances of the small animals.

Fueled by enthusiasm, Fuer climbed onto the stage, pushing the roulette once again.

Her face bore the same insane yet fake smile as always. Sleeping with Josh all night didn’t make her see him any differently.

She didn’t even glance in this direction, as if she wasn’t the one who covered Josh with a blanket last night.

The others watched the roulette warily.

They’d rather boost Fuer’s goodwill to get items than acquire them through such a dangerous game.

This time, no one was called onto the stage to spin the roulette.

Fuer spun the roulette herself and looked at everyone: "Today, let’s see who the lucky audience member will be."

She took a bunch of rings from the side, looked at the audience, and smiled, "You better sit still and don’t move, whoever gets the ring will come up."

Everyone couldn’t help but be shocked; this was indeed fair but also much more exciting.

Josh curled his lips, a trace of anticipation flashing in his eyes.

Fuer turned around, her back to the crowd, and picked up a steel ring.

The other four couldn’t help but watch the ring in her hand nervously, afraid it would land on their heads.

Fuer raised the ring high and casually tossed it, the steel ring flying towards the audience.

The four watched the direction of the ring and secretly breathed a sigh of relief; it was certainly going to fall in an empty seat.

As they sighed in relief, a figure quickly lunged and caught the ring, putting it over himself and then sat back down steadily.

The steel ring hung firmly around Josh’s neck.

The little monkey anxiously squeaked and waved at Josh, signaling her to quickly discard the ring.

Because of the monkey’s out-of-line behavior, the puppet behind violently yanked the steel ring on its neck and whipped it.

The whip had barbs, and where the little monkey was hit, a large piece of skin and flesh was scraped off, with blood flowing into the pool on the floor, dyeing a large area red.

The lion, seeing this, roared angrily, its eyes bloodshot as it glared at the puppet behind the monkey.

The puppet controlling the lion impatiently shocked the lion’s head with an electric baton: "Behave, you brainless beast!"

The lion, electrocuted by the baton, rolled its eyes and hurriedly shook its head, barely managing to stand.

Josh slightly frowned at the sight of those people abusing the animals.

The team of four: "??"

Fuer turned around, and upon seeing the ring around Josh’s neck, the smile on her lips instantly faded: "Did I not say to stay in your place?"

Josh spread her hands: "I didn’t leave my place."

Fuer stared at her expressionlessly, her gaze so icy it sent a chill down one’s spine.

She coldly looked at Josh: "Are you sure you didn’t leave your place?"

Josh smiled and nodded: "I’m very sure."

The large roulette behind Fuer also stopped, the pointer pointed once again to the game called Ambiguous Waters.

Fuer looked at her coldly.

Josh stood up: "I’m looking forward to completing this game, come on."

The octopus didn’t move, obviously waiting for Fuer’s command.

Fuer watched Josh expressionlessly and blew the whistle on her chest: "Begin."

The octopus wrapped around Josh’s slender waist and tossed her into the water pool.

Huang Bairen and others couldn’t help but stand up in shock: "What’s she doing?!"

"That water is corrosive!"

The comments exploded instantly: [What the hell! Is she self-destructing?]

[I think so, before when Qian Duobao touched the water, his arm’s skin was scalded off in no time. This water’s corrosiveness is strong against players...]

[This time it’s really game over.]

[I’m speechless, she ruined a winning hand, I really can’t understand her brainless operation.]

[I don’t understand +1, she already boosted Fuer’s goodwill, and it’s clear Fuer didn’t want her to play the game, I don’t know what she’s showing off.]

[This newbie is really done this time.]

Josh was thrown into the water, sinking straight down, not resurfacing.

"Didn’t I tell you to find the three items before looking for me?"

A low, pleasant voice echoed underwater.

In that instant, time in the entire dungeon froze.

All the live streams, including Josh’s, were pixelated.

[System error, emergency repair in process, scanning for viruses, please wait.]

Josh floated before the Mermaid King, quietly meeting his gaze.

She pulled the blue gemstone from her pocket, smiling: "I found this."

The Mermaid King’s expression changed, his eyes quickly turning blood-red as if a blood mist exploded in the water: "Give it to me."

Josh subtly stepped back, eyeing the shackled Mermaid King: "Why don’t you tell me who imprisoned you here first?"

The Mermaid King silently looked at her, then suddenly let out a snort: "Who do you think you’re talking to?"

He slightly parted his lips, his magnetic voice crackling like electricity through the water.

The dolphins above the water roiled restlessly, emitting sharp cries.

The water churned, centering around the Mermaid King, gradually forming a vortex.

Josh frowned slightly, recognizing the Mermaid King was entering a berserk state.

Between his eyes, faint blue electricity crackled, his ears evolving into semi-transparent, beautiful fin-like shapes.

His waist and back became covered with Mermaid Scales.

His fingers joined together, and a thin membrane and mucus formed between his fingers.

This was a precursor to Beastification.

An intense, stabbing pain flashed in Josh’s mind.

Inexplicably, she felt she could sense the mermaid’s fury and pain—the kind of pain when something precious is forcibly removed from one’s body, the rage of betrayal.

The mermaid sang in rage, his aggressive sound waves strangely imbued Josh with his fear and unease.

He seemed once afraid of something, nearly losing control, his spiritual power surging out, forming a beast-like merman exuding a dominant deep-sea glow, roaring above him.

Josh suddenly flew forward, hugging the mermaid’s head, directly meeting those eyes, almost sharpened into gem-like deep blue.

She pressed her forehead against the Mermaid King’s, channeling her spiritual power into his mind.

She had never felt like this before, as if she had transformed into a giant spider navigating through a chaotic web of threads.

The threads shimmered with blue light, entwining and wrestling, striving to break free only to tighten further.

She sensed a primal instinct surging within her, her fingers transformed into the spider’s forelimbs, slowly moving forward as she tidied the tangled threads.

Wherever the spider traveled, the blue threads were straightened, the blue light of lightning tracing seamlessly along the threads.

After straightening everything, a surge of exhaustion overwhelmed her, and she fainted, unable to pull back.

Josh inwardly lamented the danger but could only watch herself descend into darkness.

Above the Mermaid King and Josh, the glow of the bestial merfolk and spider slowly faded.

Josh drifted down with the water waves.

The Mermaid King caught her.

The fragile and slender human lay limp in his arms, her delicate neck arched elegantly like a swan’s wings.

A slight twist was all it would take to snap it.

But he did not.

Because his Spiritual Sea was currently enjoying an unprecedented tranquility.
