Immortal in Horror Game: She is the Fortune Teller!-Chapter 234 - 230: Bloody Castle 11

Josh recalled the man she saw in the study, his voice awkward and his build overly large.

According to the maid, Prince Sisi was trapped in the Ancient Castle.

Yet the hidden task was to make her dispel Sisi’s idea of leaving the castle.

Logically speaking, shouldn’t the script have her rescue the Prince?

Josh yawned.

Despite everything, this instance was indeed draining her spiritual power.

She was extremely tired, feeling both exhausted and weary.

Her body was still burning hot.

She felt like this instance was targeting her, otherwise why would her fever not go down even after taking antipyretics?

This was inherently abnormal.

Though her physical condition was poor, it wasn’t supposed to be this severe.

She glanced at her attribute panel, a mocking look crossing her eyes—it had burned her Life Value down to just 45%.

Impressive.

Josh quickly fell asleep, her lips remained pale, breathing slightly rapid, hot air issued from her nose, and her frown was slightly uncomfortable.

The firelight in the fireplace gradually died down, only leaving a slight warmth.

The room’s temperature dropped rapidly.

Josh unconsciously curled her body, burying her face in her arms.

The weakening of her Life Value made her feel even more frail.

In a haze, something covered her, and the fire in the fireplace rekindled.

Her whole body was warm.

Josh comfortably turned over, hugging the blanket she clutched, rubbed against it, and continued sleeping.

"Poor little thing..." 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

A man’s affectionate yet low voice echoed in the room.

The sofa wasn’t very large, but Josh curled up on it, like a cute porcelain doll, with slender ankles exposed, their toes and ankles showing a perfect pink, tender like they would burst with juice at a touch, involuntarily reminding one of orange segments under the lamp.

The sound of restrained breathing filled the room.

The blanket in her embrace was pulled down to cover the little pink feet.

The man’s finger accidentally brushed against her curled toes, the icy cool sensation causing him to frown involuntarily.

Beast-like, aggressively fierce eyes fell on her sleeping face.

The little one’s cheeks were rosy, tinged with a feverish flush, her petal-like lips unconsciously slightly parted, breathing in small breaths, so fragile that it seemed a light pinch might place her life at his fingertips.

Excitement flashed in the man’s eyes, and a fine fuzz quickly sprouted on his skin as he closed his eyes, soon suppressing the thrill and possessiveness.

His large, dry, warm hand cautiously grasped her dainty ankle, gently placing it on his belly, a streak of greed and fascination crossing his face.

At 5:30 pm, Josh was awakened by the system’s alarm clock.

Josh drowsily opened her eyes and sat up from the sofa.

A cup of hot water was handed to her: "Drink some water."

"Thanks..." Josh replied groggily, taking the water and sipping it.

Perfectly warm water slid down her throat, her brow relaxing comfortably, eyes clearing a bit, noticing the person beside her, she twitched her mouth slightly: "What is it?"

Sophie stiffly showed a respectful smile: "Do you want more? I can get more for you."

Josh glanced at the water cup in her hand: "Did you poison it?"

Sophie: "...No, I’m just the maid, serving people is what I should do, just let me know and I’ll do it immediately!"

Josh squinted her eyes.

Sophie let out an awkward laugh, then quickly continued: "Last night, Prince Sisi really noticed me! I think your talisman paper is really effective! Can you give me more? I don’t have any gemstones right now, but I will definitely pay you in the future!"

Josh chuckled, handing back the water cup to her: "I don’t do credit here."

She got up to wash up, only then realizing her body felt warm, and after opening the attribute panel, she noticed her Life Value had clearly risen back to 60 points.

Could it be because the fever subsided?

She touched her forehead, it seemed there was still some low-grade fever.

Josh opened the bullet screen, belatedly remembering that anything involving plot and clues would be harmonized.

She didn’t dwell on it, finished washing up, and went downstairs to eat.

Sure enough, the four people she hacked to death in the afternoon appeared in the dining room, perfectly fine.

The others obviously showed no expression, seemingly used to it and detected nothing amiss.

This was the most wrong part of all.

Josh sat by her teammates, Yuze awaited dinner expressionlessly, Rob and Jiang Can whispering something.

Yushi suddenly said beside her, "Little Tactician, what’s wrong?"

Josh shook her head: "Nothing."

Yushi: "Do you feel, they’re strange?"

Josh glanced at him: "You think so too?"

Yushi nodded, "They don’t want to play with me, it’s not normal."

Josh’s eye twitched slightly, withdrawing her gaze, her tone inexplicable: "You seem pretty normal to me."

Yushi earnestly responded, "I, of course, am normal."

Dinner was served.

Unlike others, Josh’s dinner was particularly sumptuous and nutritious, even with fresh corn chowder, its rich aroma instantly filling the entire table.

The twins across the table exchanged a glance, seeing the unspeakable expression in each other’s eyes.

At the whole table, Josh’s body was the weakest, also the least aggressive.

With E-level spiritual power, she couldn’t even withstand 5 minutes under the twins’ oppression.

Such a little weakling, achieving preferential treatment in the instance run?

Josh ignored the malicious gazes, calmly finishing her dinner, leaving after 15 minutes.

As she passed the kitchen entrance, she encountered the head chef coming out from inside.

Seeing Josh, he nodded kindly: "How was tonight’s meal? To your liking?"

Josh smiled and nodded: "Extremely satisfying, Chef, I knew the spices in your hands would have a fresh collision, I’ve never had such rich steak, I almost want to order another!"

A strongly present gaze suddenly fell on her from behind.

Josh’s face remained unchanged, yet her body tensed slightly.

The head chef chuckled, nodding with satisfaction: "If you like, I can bring you some delicious snacks tonight, perhaps they could dispel the cold of the night for you."

Josh didn’t expect an unexpected gain, "That would be wonderful. I also happen to have some ingredients I’ve never seen before, I’ll show you in the morning, maybe you’ll like them. I’ve given them to many chefs, but no one could handle them."

The chef’s eyes lit up: "I love that very much, looking forward to meeting tomorrow..."

Josh gave a slight smile: "My name is Josh."

The chef nodded: "Alright, Miss Josh."

He paused, then advised: "It’s not safe at night, please return to your room before 9 o’clock. After 9, no matter what sounds you hear, don’t open the door."

Josh nodded, bid farewell, then turned to head upstairs.

Just as she stepped into the hallway of the guest room, she was blocked.

It was Mina and Solong’s team, with two men behind them, presumably their teammates.

Josh raised her eyebrows slightly.

Several tall men gathered around, accentuating Josh’s petite figure even more, like a little rabbit surrounded by a pack of wolves.
