Immortal in Horror Game: She is the Fortune Teller!-Chapter 242 - 238: Bloody Castle 19

The head chef lost his temper, and the entire back kitchen’s door was shut.

The maids in the kitchen seemed to instantly transform into puppets, driving all the players together in sync with the head chef’s rhythm.

Josh figured it out; this unlucky bunch were all living players.

The other monsters disguised as players were NPCs of the quest; they knew these main NPCs well and didn’t need to rush to their deaths to provoke them.

If these people died, the twins’ team would be completely wiped out.

Josh stroked his chin, contemplating whether or not to pick up the scraps since killing the players could drop items.

Suddenly, a fruit knife stabbed out from the side!

With quick eyes and swift reactions, Josh dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding the attack.

What a fast knife!

She saw Leia, eyes bloodshot, seizing the chaos to attack her.

Leia, eyes red and ferocious, glared at her: "It was you who killed my sister Ani! I’ll kill you!"

She chased Josh with the fruit knife, aiming every slash at vital areas like Josh’s chest, the back of her head, and her jugular artery.

Nearby, the head chef wielded a large knife chasing the two male twins.

They even deliberately led the danger to Josh, trying to use her as a shield to dodge attacks.

But unexpectedly, the head chef would pull Josh aside, targeting only the other three people.

Josh sneered coldly, watching these people trying to find weapons during the chaos to kill her, and thinking since it was like this, she wouldn’t hold back.

The three were being chased by the head chef and the mutated maids, yet they still had the energy to divert some attention to kill her.

One of the twins led a maid closer to her.

Josh stood still, pretending not to see him.

As the man got close, the dining knife he had hidden suddenly gleamed, stabbing towards her neck.

Josh drew a long knife and swung it backhand.

At the moment the man saw the long knife, a look of disbelief crossed his face, and in the next second, his entire head separated from his body.

With a cold expression, Josh swung her blade, decisively killing him the moment his dagger neared the back of her head, giving him no chance to act.

"Brother!" A streak of red flashed in the other man’s eyes: "Josh, I’ll kill you!"

Josh found it amusing: "It was you who first moved to kill me, and now you’re playing the victim as if I’ve wronged you? You can’t expect me to be hunted by you and not fight back, can you?"

The remaining two didn’t listen, both thinking that Josh had killed their teammate and frenziedly pursued her, slashing away.

Josh didn’t bother with them anymore; with the head chef and so many maids chasing them, how big were their hearts to still chase her?

Did they think she was so weak that even with monster help, she couldn’t counter-kill these useless players?

Josh raised her knife, confronting the two coming to kill her head-on.

The head chef also wielded a knife nearby, ready to assist.

Bullet screen: [No, I’m a bit confused; now it’s the monsters that are going berserk, and Josh killed all the players. How will she deal with these monsters alone?]

[She previously raised the head chef’s favorability, so it’s not a big issue.]

[Does favorability even work on berserk monsters? It’s not maxed!]

[There should be some favorability, right? Didn’t you see the head chef not attacking her earlier, just the other three?]

[Seems like it...]

The two reckless players were killed together by Josh and the head chef.

In the next second, the head chef’s big knife flew towards Josh.

Bullet screen: [...]

All the maids swarmed towards Josh, like a dark wave, making one’s skin crawl.

Josh gathered the items dropped by the players, her eyes scanning the sinister head chef and the murderous maids before her. With her left hand, she quickly made signs and muttered incantations.

A golden light encircled her and swiftly shot into the head chef’s forehead.

In the instant the head chef was immobilized, all the other maids suddenly collapsed like marionettes whose strings had been cut.

Bullet screen: [Whoa! I saw it, it’s a cheat! It must be a cheat!]

Josh twitched the corners of her mouth: "Not a cheat, just a little bit of magic~ Can even do some divination and fortune-telling!"

As she responded to the bullet screen, she sheathed her knife and laid down an array with both hands, enveloping all the monsters within.

Bullet screen: [I don’t believe it unless you can really divinate for us.]

Josh was in a good mood: "Tonight then, those wanting divination can come to my live stream, no charge if it’s inaccurate~"

Bullet screen: [I’m a little tempted.]

As the array rotated, the black aura on the head chef’s face was gradually absorbed by the array, restoring him to normal.

Josh let out a quiet sigh of relief, taking out items from Pinduoduo, placing them in front of the head chef.

The head chef’s eyes lit up upon smelling the new spices: "What new scent is this? So magical!"

With his words, the surrounding maids also gradually returned to normal, beginning to work normally in the kitchen.

Josh smiled and said: "This spice wasn’t found in the castle; my father brought it back for me from his voyages, a magical spice. If you like it, I have some seeds here you could take back to plant."

The head chef’s eyes lit up: "Really? That would be great!"

[Ding, gained 10 head chef favorability, current favorability 70%.]

Josh smiled and nodded: "Actually, my father brought back many spices; are you busy right now? Maybe we could have a coffee?"

The head chef showed a hint of hesitation: "I’d love to go with you, but I have to prepare lunch for the guests this morning..."

Josh furrowed her brows slightly, a bit annoyed: "Those people, they don’t even appreciate your culinary skills! It’s a waste giving them these good things. Your broth is so rich and fragrant!"

She seemed to have struck a chord, her eyes lighting up: "I’ve tasted many broths, and know that many become bitter and overdone. Broths like yours are rich and pleasantly fragrant, without bitterness, very rare!"

The head chef looked excited: "You’re quite the connoisseur! I’ve never met a guest as tasteful as you!"

He began to enthusiastically share his soup-making secrets.

Josh laughed and nodded in response, her favorability increasing in their conversation.

At 90%, Josh felt it was about right and said with a smile: "Actually, I must admit, I traveled to many places with my father and tasted many delicacies. My father said, tasting someone’s dish tells you what kind of person they are. Your dishes are always so rich and flavorful, which shows you yearn for freedom."

The head chef looked at her thoughtfully: "Miss, did you know I’ve never set foot outside this castle? Apart from researching recipes, I’ve devoted myself to it, and such joy outweighs all other troubles."

Josh nodded: "I might not understand your joy, but if I ever marry my beloved Prince Sisi, it would make me as happy as creating a new successful recipe."

The head chef laughed heartily, "Yes, very happy, so no one has ever said I yearn for freedom."

Josh had a puzzled frown, "Really? But from your dishes, I’ve tasted a yearning for freedom. So strange."

[Ding! Gained 10 head chef favorability points, current favorability 100%. Congratulations on triggering the hidden plot: Sisi’s tragic childhood.]

The head chef chuckled, seeming unwilling to discuss more on this topic, and instead teased: "I heard you really like Sisi?"

He referred to Sisi, not Prince, making him the only one in the castle to call him that.

It seems Rob’s information wasn’t wrong; he might indeed be Sisi’s elder, like an uncle.

Josh, somewhat embarrassed, nodded: "I’ve admired Prince Sisi since I was young; marrying him is my lifelong wish. If I could spend my days in this castle with him, so much the better."

The head chef patted her shoulder, a bit sentimentally: "If only Sisi had met you earlier."

Josh was getting more embarrassed.

The head chef looked off into the distance with nostalgia: "Actually, when Sisi was little, he loved to play outside too."
