Immortal in Horror Game: She is the Fortune Teller!-Chapter 19: Awakening Master An’s Ability

The stronger the spiritual power of a person, beast, or insect race, including gods, the more they are disturbed by the chaos of spiritual power.

The more spiritual power is used, the more chaotic the Spiritual Sea becomes.

Each person with strong spiritual power needs to find a Master An, a Master An exclusively for themselves.

Spiritual power users and Master An are generally bound one-to-one; each spiritual power user will only obey one Master An in their lifetime.

A Master An can only help a spiritual power user sort out their Spiritual Sea when their spiritual body is in perfect harmony with the user’s.

He never expected that this fragile and seemingly powerless beautiful human could be his perfectly compatible Master An.

She even entered his Spiritual Sea directly without his permission and swiftly cleaned it up.

Could he and she be this compatible?

She didn’t need his permission; his Spiritual Sea sensed her intent and welcomed her eagerly, appearing worthless.

The Mermaid King seriously scrutinized the person in his arms for the first time.

Aside from her exceptionally outstanding face, nothing else was special.

Her frame was too slender, like a piece of paper—one rough move, and she’d break.

She was short; adult female mermaids were almost two meters tall, but she didn’t look like she would reach even two meters on stilts.

Her breathing was weak, with light, faint breaths, just like a mermaid infant.

He ended up being completely compatible with a little creature as fragile as a newborn.

How absurd.

When Josh woke up again, the Mermaid King was standing not far away, looking at her.

She blinked, not understanding.

The Mermaid King looked at her expressionlessly, "You are too short."

"...?" Josh’s face darkened. She hated it the most when people commented on her height.

She retorted confidently, "I’m still growing."

The Mermaid King was critical, "And you look quite ordinary."

Josh smiled, "If you don’t need your eyes, you can donate them to someone in need."

The Mermaid King didn’t wish to argue further, "Go now, and find me again after collecting three pieces of equipment."

Josh didn’t understand what had gotten into him. He had hit her into stupor before, and now woke up to start personal attacks?

Josh ignored him and swam to the surface.

When her head emerged from the water, the time flow rate in the game instance finally resumed.

The players’ live stream rooms finally had their visuals back.

Fuer and the players were shocked, watching her swim to the shore bit by bit, completing the game challenge.

"How is this possible? The water is highly corrosive; she couldn’t possibly emerge unscathed!"

"Are you kidding? Did she exchange something for water immunity?"

"Impossible. Everyone is a beginner; the system shop shouldn’t be open yet, right?"

"Then how do you explain her swimming ashore unscathed in the water?"

No matter how surprised everyone was, Josh had already completed the game and swam up within the given time.

Fuer looked at her, eyes vigilant, "How could you be completely fine in the water?"

Josh feigned ignorance, "Is there something wrong with the water?"

The octopus also looked at her warily.

Fuer suddenly seemed to think of something, his gaze carrying a hint of pleasure.

He took the key around his neck and tossed it to Josh, "This is your reward."

[Ding! Congratulations, player, on obtaining a rare Universal Key, capable of unlocking all locks in the instance. Three items have been collected. Would you like to exit the instance now?]

[No.] Josh responded to the system in her mind, [I still have tasks left unfinished.]

[Alright, once the advancement conditions are met, the player has 24 hours to remain within the world, and will be forcibly ejected after this period.]

She had a compulsive need to complete any activated tasks. Leaving them unfinished made her uncomfortable.

Besides, the Universal Key and Mermaid Heart in her hand were of rare quality, but the other item she acquired upon entry wasn’t rare, which she wasn’t pleased about.

The show for today was over.

Before exiting, Fuer gave her a meaningful glance, his voice melodious, "Be careful not to unlock everything with that key. If a doll loses their animal, they’ll go mad."

Josh gave a slight smile and remained silent.

Fuer returned to his room; the animals returned to their cages, and the dolls, as if losing life, fell limply to the side.

Josh returned to the audience area.

The other four stared at her, eyes filled with competition.

Especially Huang Bairen.

Huang Bairen knew that the quality of an item affected the synthesis of items after advancement, so his gaze couldn’t hide his longing when he glanced at the key in Josh’s hand.

Zhu Yongchang looked at her puzzled, "How did you swim through that water? It’s extremely corrosive!"

Josh laughed, "Earlier, I earned points from doing fortune-telling and used them to exchange for a protective item."

Huang Bairen was skeptical, "But everyone is a beginner; isn’t the system shop supposed to be closed?"

Josh smiled, "Mine opened."

She looked at the group, "Let’s discuss strategy. Not many days are left in the game; how many items do you all have?"

Huang Bairen looked at her warily.

Josh turned to Qian Duobao, "Your hand is injured, making it difficult to move. Should I share one of my items with you? I have two."

She showed a sincere demeanor, quickly lowering the group’s vigilance.

Josh’s delicate and fragile appearance, like a finely crafted porcelain doll, made it easy to gain others’ trust.

Besides, she even offered to give items away, seemingly giving others a chance to advance.

What a kind yet foolish woman!

Qian Duobao was overjoyed, "Really? That’s great!"

Josh handed him an item as promised.

Zhu Yongchang and Green Hair looked on with envy, but only Huang Bairen, still eyeing the key in her hand with greed.

The key undoubtedly held great quality, otherwise, why would she so readily give away another item?

The group quickly started discussing strategy.

Huang Bairen and Green Hair went to improve their rapport with the octopus, while Josh and Qian Duobao focused on other small animals.

Zhu Yongchang was tasked with keeping an eye on Fuer’s actions.

It was late at night.

The group began to move.

Josh took one last look at Huang Bairen before leaving with Qian Duobao.

The little monkey was awake again, clamoring for bananas.

Josh and Qian Duobao went to the amusement park’s kiosk to find bananas for it.

Suddenly, Josh stopped and said to Qian Duobao, "Why don’t you go ahead? I’ve got a stomach ache and need to take care of it."

Qian Duobao smiled and nodded, "Hurry then, I’ll wait here for you."

Josh said, a little embarrassed, "Just don’t come too close."

Qian Duobao chuckled, "Don’t worry! You’ve been good to me; I won’t take advantage of you!"
