Immortal in Horror Game: She is the Fortune Teller!
Chapter 444 - 436: Probing
Chenyu lowered his eyes, looking at the two people standing below.
Yuze didn’t bow, so Josh didn’t bow either.
Chenyu looked at Yuze: "You go out first."
The elegant and empty voice seemed to come from all around, giving Josh goosebumps, which made him realize the vastness of his Divine Power.
Even his every move could easily stir the surrounding spiritual power.
However, Yuze didn’t leave, instead he said, "What matters do you have that I shouldn’t hear?"
There was a hint of helplessness in Chenyu’s eyes: "Don’t make trouble, don’t worry, I won’t do anything to your Master An."
Clearly, Yuze did not trust him.
Seeing that he wouldn’t back down, Chenyu then looked at the child next to him: "Josh, you know, his presence will affect the efficiency of this conversation."
Yuze: "..."
Josh turned his head to him: "Captain, why don’t you step out first."
Yuze: "..."
Alright then, both of them disliked him.
Yuze turned and left, retreating outside the grand hall, where the Little Divine Envoy shivered as he closed the hall doors and ran off quickly upon sensing Yuze’s menacing gaze.
He couldn’t afford to provoke this great deity.
Josh raised her head, looking at the person on the divine throne: "Are you Chenyu?"
Chenyu descended from the throne, step by step approaching her, with a gentle smile on his face: "Hello, Josh."
She wasn’t surprised that he knew her name.
What surprised her was that she sensed the Mermaid King’s aura on him, overwhelmingly strong.
Chenyu spoke gently: "Want to take a walk in my back garden? The sunlight is great there."
He noticed she was cold.
This hall was indeed cold, like an ice cellar.
Although there were flowing hot springs within the hall, they couldn’t warm the chilly air.
Josh did not refuse, nodding: "Sure."
Chenyu then led her to the backyard.
During this time, his demeanor was exceptionally gentlemanly, sometimes leaving Josh confused.
The god she imagined was like the Mermaid King, high above, looking down at others with lifelong arrogance, not like now, so gentlemanly and gentle, that she even had the illusion of being carefully cared for by the other party...
"You came looking for me, what do you want to ask?" Chenyu asked.
They strolled in the garden.
It was a sea of white roses, with ample sunlight, the temperature and humidity were very suitable, making people feel very comfortable.
The air was filled with a faint floral fragrance.
Josh unconsciously relaxed a bit and said, "It’s related to the instance."
Chenyu’s gentle and gentlemanly smile remained unchanged, seemingly not surprised by her question.
His brows and eyes in the sunlight had a sanctity almost divine, this was the difference that allowed Josh to distinguish him from the Mermaid King and Yuze at a glance.
Despite the three of them having identical appearances, each had completely different auras.
The Mermaid King possessed an arrogance and coldness high above, his eyes as deep and cold as the sea, he could embrace you like the sea, giving you infinite gentleness, yet also like the sea, he could destroy all "indestructible" things with his powerful forces and tides.
In contrast, Yuze exuded more of a worldly aura, making Josh feel very at ease when with him.
Though he always seemed drowsy and lazy, he was actually very thoughtful, she almost never had to hesitate to know that with him, she would always be well taken care of.
But the person before her, seemingly gathered all the advantages of the Mermaid King and Yuze, yet his aura was entirely different from theirs.
Though he also gave a cold impression, it wasn’t like the deep sea, nor like a noble and elegant cat, but a kind of divine coldness, not due to detachment from people, but a kind of detachment and difference as if not in the same dimension.
He was like a radiant diamond under the sun, high above in the clouds, you know that there’s a diamond sparkling with dazzling light, but you have no way to touch it.
You can only watch it from below, racking your brains to praise it with all the beautiful words, yet completely denying them, fearing to tarnish it.
Chenyu smiled slightly: "I can roughly guess the question you want to ask."
Josh looked at him.
Chenyu: "You want to ask, why it seems like the different instance spaces are interconnected, why one instance seems like a real world, isn’t it?"
Josh nodded: "Yes... "
They walked a bit further, Chenyu did not speak, nor did she press him. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
After a moment of silence, Chenyu said gently: "Before answering your question, I’d like to ask you a few questions first, may I?"
Though it was an interrogative sentence, quite gentlemanly seeking her consent, it inexplicably gave her a feeling of being unable to resist.
She could only nod: "Sure."
Chenyu: "Are you certain the world you lived in was real?"
Josh answered without thinking: "Of course!"
Chenyu: "Are you sure the world you are currently in is real?"
Josh understood his implication quickly upon hearing this, and suddenly froze.
Chenyu: "Can you be sure that the world you will go to in the future is real?"
Josh bowed her head in contemplation, pondering how to respond to his questions.
Her sole basis for judging whether a world exists was the divination art her master taught her, a person’s fate could be calculated by divination art, which indicated the fate of that world was long-lasting.
But she had also calculated the fate of NPCs in the instance before.
If that world also truly exists, then what is false?
There was a hint of bewilderment in Josh’s eyes, she looked up at Chenyu.
He laughed slightly, raised his hand, but slowly moved towards the flowers, gently stroking the white roses swaying in the wind.
Josh just now strangely thought that he raised his hand intending to rub her head.
This illusion was too absurd, she attributed this feeling to being accustomed to Yuze’s habits.
She continued to walk two steps forward.
Chenyu retracted his hand, his gaze falling on the tuft of hair fluttering in the wind on top of her head, pressing his lips together, placing both hands behind his back.
Josh felt she had hit a dead end, she turned around, looking at the person behind her: "I seem to...
Chenyu, however, smiled, gently interrupting her: "No need to rush to give me an answer."
Josh blinked her eyes.
Chenyu: "I will arrange for you to enter the next instance, after it ends, give me your answer."
Josh nodded: "Okay."
They walked for a while longer, Josh suddenly spoke again: "I have another question I want to ask you."
"Go ahead." His voice was deep and pleasing to the ear.
Josh stared into his eyes and suddenly asked, "Do you know the Mermaid King?"
Chenyu suddenly lowered his eyes, gazing at her, "Why do you ask that?"
Josh: "Last time I saw you, your eyes were golden, but this time I see your eyes are blue, these eyes, look a lot like my friend’s."
After speaking, she couldn’t help but become wary.
These were her true thoughts, wanting to test Chenyu, but inexplicably she blurted them out!
