Immortal in Horror Game: She is the Fortune Teller!-Chapter 237 - 233: Bloody Castle 14

She lay back down and put on her earplugs.

The knocking outside continued.

"Josh? Josh! Are you okay?"

"Josh, there’s a monster that crawled in through the chimney, if you’re scared, come out and find me!"

Josh yawned, listening to Yuze’s anxious voice, and surprisingly fell asleep.

She had a good dream.

The next day when she woke up, her whole body felt like it had been beaten up, aching all over, and she felt dizzy and lightheaded.

This was the outburst of a persistent high fever, and the muscles in her body started aching.

"Sigh..." The discomfort in her body made her furrow her brow involuntarily. She got up to wash up and went downstairs.

She exchanged ingredients from Pinduoduo to give to the head chef.

She gained another 20 points of favorability, current favorability 50 points.

The head chef was delighted and made her an extra exquisite breakfast. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

After saying goodbye to the head chef, Josh timed her visit to the dining room, and as expected, everyone was already seated neatly at the dining table.

She took her seat, her gaze subtly falling on Mina before quickly looking away.

Mina had died at least twice.

She didn’t believe that the monster characters in this dungeon could regenerate infinitely.

If her guess was correct, there should be a limit to the number.

It’s just uncertain what that limit is.

Thomas pushed open the door, smiling as he looked at everyone at the table: "This evening, Prince Sisi will be hosting a ball in the first-floor banquet hall to welcome everyone. In the afternoon, maids will bring dresses to everyone’s rooms. A reminder, while getting ready in the afternoon, don’t forget to change rooms before 6 pm tonight~ Hope everyone enjoys."

[Ding! Congratulations on activating the side quest, "Gain Prince Sisi’s First Dance", you can choose whether to accept it or not.]

Josh didn’t hesitate and accepted the quest.

Since there’s a quest to do, why not do it?

After finishing breakfast, Josh didn’t leave right away but caught up with Butler Thomas: "Mr. Thomas."

Thomas stopped: "What’s up, Miss Josh?"

Josh smiled politely, showing a bit of uneasiness and bashfulness: "I just wanted to ask, what kind of girl does Prince Sisi like? What I mean is... if I accidentally offend the prince, he might get unhappy."

Thomas nodded knowingly, clearly familiar with such situations, but as for this one...

His gaze rested on Josh’s face: "Don’t worry, Miss Josh, the prince will like you. But there are indeed some things you need to be mindful of; don’t talk to the prince about the scenery and things outside the castle."

Josh feigned misunderstanding: "Why? Doesn’t he like them?"

Thomas smiled slightly: "In this castle, no one likes that topic."

Josh nodded: "I see."

Thomas said nothing more and turned to leave.

Josh explored the castle for a while, then at 10 am precisely, she appeared in the castle courtyard.

She wondered if it was just her illusion, feeling like the thorny vines in the courtyard had grown taller, almost a third of the height of the entire castle, with the first-floor windows blocked by vines and roses.

Yuze also appeared in the courtyard on time, and once they met, they didn’t waste time and quickly exchanged information and triggered side quests.

Josh thought for a moment and then asked, "How many times has Mina died on your side?"

Yuze raised an eyebrow: "Who’s Mina?"

Josh twitched the corner of her mouth: "The girl from the other team besides the twins. I want you to keep track of everyone’s death count over there, and I’ll do the same on my side. I just feel like these people can’t die endlessly."

Yuze squinted his eyes, "If each of us has a single line, then there are a total of 12 lines."

Josh thought for a moment: "Mina on our side has died about 2 times, Solong also died twice, Rob died once, and all four of the twins’ team died once."

Yuze: "On my side, everyone died three times."

Josh looked at him: "Everyone?"

She quickly reacted: "Did you kill them?"

Yuze shrugged: "They were too noisy."

Josh crossed her arms: "Even me?"

Yuze: "She wasn’t you."

Josh: "Okay."

Yuze confessed: "She tried to take advantage of me, I was acting in self-defense."

The corner of Josh’s mouth twitched: "You better be."

Coach Ma Qi repeatedly told her privately to keep an eye on Yuze, not to let him kill people at will.

The purpose of controlling his killing was not for any pretext of kindness, but purely to force him to use his brain more so it wouldn’t rust from lack of use.

Barrage: [My silly son! I double-checked on the live stream, he’s lying! He just found out no one’s checking, so he killed freely!]

[I testify too!]

[What’s going on? Isn’t it rare for Yu to have a single line, can’t he enjoy some monster-killing fun?] (Spoiler in this comment, has been blocked)

[Shit!]

Josh thought for a moment: "According to these numbers, Mina has died 5 times on our side, we just don’t know about Rob’s group."

Yuze frowned: "Counting this way, we can’t estimate their exact numbers unless we can contact all the real players for verification."

Josh: "But that’s not realistic, they’re almost identical to real people, not only can they send us messages in the system, but they also have those people’s past memories."

If it weren’t for the fact that Yuze and she had paired, and they could recognize each other’s spiritual power and Spiritual Body, she might not have been able to detect Yuze’s authenticity at first glance.

She originally thought only Yuze had been swapped until more and more people seemed off; she realized it was very likely that everyone around her was fake.

From the start, everyone around her was already fake.

She and her teammates didn’t even enter the same space.

Yuze said: "I ran into two Robs this morning. One was downstairs, and the other upstairs, appearing one after the other."

Josh frowned: "Since they appeared one after the other, how do you know you ran into two?"

Yuze: "Because I hit the first one on the head, leaving a big bump that won’t go down for at least two days, but the second one had nothing on his forehead."

Josh: "..."

Barrage: [Only Little Meng suffered in this world.]

[Poor Little Meng.]

[No need to pity him, as soon as he met, he took out a stick to try and bash Yu, probably thought it was an imposter.]

[Who in their right mind would pick a fight with Yu? Answer: Little Meng.]

Josh suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "So, are these people capable of being marked?"

Yuze nodded.

A gleam of light flashed in Josh’s eyes: "I have an idea!"

Yuze: "What idea?"

Josh exchanged for two sets of stamp pens from Pinduoduo, "Here’s a set for you."

There were four colors in total for the stamp pens: red, orange, yellow, and green.

Josh told him: "These are special markers, when stamped onto the skin, they’re waterproof and oil-proof, leaving marks for 7 days, can’t be rubbed off regardless, disappearing automatically after seven days. We’ll stamp our teammates with these, observing, and for those definitely suspicious, stamp them in red, somewhat suspicious ones in orange, and so on. If we find teammates proven to be clean, stamp them in green."

Yuze nodded: "Okay."

Josh looked at him: "The stamp as proof."

With a "snap," Yuze stamped a green mark on her forehead.

Josh: "..."

Yuze: "This way, I know you’re the real deal."

Josh punched him backhandedly: "You’re nuts! Why would we stamp each other, with pair-bonded Spiritual Bodies, we can’t get it wrong even with our eyes closed and just by scent!"

She frantically went to rub off the little green pig head on her forehead, but it was no use!
