Immortal in Horror Game: She is the Fortune Teller!-Chapter 195 - 194: Gorgeous Cage 41 (Best to Beat on an Empty Stomach)
Xue Guo was sweating all over his face: "I... I... I didn’t mean it that way."
Yuze lightly patted his face: "Who is pushing their luck? Hmm?"
Xue Guo shuddered in fear.
Yuze: "You suddenly took action, stole our NPC, which prevented us from getting the clue, and threatened to exchange bodies with us. We are the ones pushing our luck?"
Xue Guo quickly shook his head: "No... no."
He was the typical kind of person who bullies the weak and fears the strong.
Yuze saw him backtracking too quickly and instantly lost interest, tossing Xue Guo aside like something dirty.
Josh gestured a retreat to Yuze.
They were here to find clues, not to engage in a battle of attrition with Angel’s Wings.
They had already wasted quite a bit of time in this game.
Yuze lightly reprimanded him and let him go.
The group took Li Xiaoping back to their rental apartment and woke her up.
Li Xiaoping slowly opened her eyes, looking around the room in confusion.
Josh looked at her: "You..."
Li Xiaoping suddenly threw herself into her arms, hugging her tightly: "Wuwuwu... Banban, my Banban, where did you go!"
Josh: "..."
Yuze: "?"
Rob looked puzzled: "Auntie, you must have mistaken us, right? Look closely, where do you see your Banban here?"
Li Xiaoping looked up at Rob, who was speaking, was momentarily stunned, and then turned her head to pounce into his arms: "My Banban... wuwuwu... why don’t you come home!"
Josh: "..."
Yuze: "..."
Josh noticed Li Xiaoping’s dilated pupils and odd expression, and suddenly sensed something was wrong: "Is she..."
Yuze frowned slightly: "It’s possible."
Josh helped Li Xiaoping up: "Auntie, do you still recognize who I am?"
Li Xiaoping clung to her arm: "Banban... Banban..."
Rob then realized something was wrong, waving a hand in front of her face: "Hey! Are you stupid? Is this for real?"
Josh looked at Yuze: "Could they have done something to her?"
Yuze: "It’s not impossible."
They tested several more times, even using their skills, and finally confirmed Li Xiaoping was truly insane.
Now, the hard-earned clue was broken again.
The three looked at each other in dismay.
"So now..." Rob tentatively spoke up.
Yuze calmly said: "We still have one key person to investigate."
Josh: "You mean... Feng Zhe?"
Yuze nodded.
Rob looked troubled: "But this Feng Zhe seems cocky and uncooperative, he might not believe our pretense tactic, how do we get him to talk?"
Yuze frowned slightly: "That’s indeed a problem."
Rob thought for a moment: "How about... we try to get him to spill something?"
Yuze quickly dismissed the idea: "I think it won’t work, since he’s seen us, trying to get him to talk isn’t realistic."
Rob grimaced: "Then what do we do?"
The two exchanged glances, seeing the silence in each other’s eyes.
Josh suddenly spoke up quietly from the side: "Are you maybe overthinking the problem?"
"Huh?" Rob looked at her in confusion: "Do you have any good ideas?"
Josh looked at them strangely: "Haven’t you thought about... direct interrogation?"
Yuze frowned slightly: "I’m not good at interrogating people."
Josh: "But you’re good at beating people up, right? That’s enough."
Upon hearing this, Rob shrank his neck weakly: "Will that work?"
Josh nodded: "I think it will. You know what’s the worst type of person to encounter when interrogating a suspect?"
Rob innocently shook his head, looking a bit scared: "I’ve never interrogated anyone."
Josh: "The worst are those with no desires, because without desires, they have no weaknesses. But someone like Feng Zhe is the opposite—he’s so greedy, he might as well have the word ’greed’ tattooed on his forehead."
Yuze looked at her and raised an eyebrow slightly: "So you’re saying?"
Josh: "Just beat him until he talks. Someone like him, who loves money so much, wouldn’t want to die. If he dies, who will spend his money?"
Rob curiously looked at her: "Why didn’t you think of this when you were with Li Xiaoping?"
Josh: "Oh, I don’t harm the same gender."
Rob showed genuine surprise: "You’re quite noble."
Josh smiled: "I’ve always been this noble."
Said and done.
The three took a short break and headed straight to Feng Zhe’s place.
By that time, Feng Zhe had just woken up, was brushing his teeth, with foam still in his mouth, when Josh suddenly burst in and dragged him out.
Yuze and Rob stepped back in unison.
Rob wrinkled his nose and eyebrows together: "Why is this so disgusting?"
Yuze gave Josh a reproachful look: "You could’ve at least let him finish brushing his teeth, right?"
Josh’s mouth twitched: "Men are so particular these days."
She dragged Feng Zhe back to the bathroom.
Behind them came Rob’s protesting yell: "You’re the man here! Your whole family is."
Josh saw Feng Zhe’s dazed look and tapped his forehead: "Hurry up and wash up! What’s the holdup?"
Feng Zhe snapped back to reality, instantly looking displeased: "Damn! Why are you all in my house?!"
Josh, sprayed with toothpaste foam across her face, looked grim: "The captain was right, I should have let you finish brushing."
Feng Zhe broke down inside, is that the point here?!? 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
Can someone tell him why he’s minding his business brushing his teeth at home and suddenly a few people burst in?!
Damn it!
And it’s those same lunatics from yesterday.
Feng Zhe didn’t bother with anything else, quickly spat out the foam, finished washing up, rushed out, and glared at the three in the living room.
Among the three, both men were tall and burly, close to six-foot-three, almost filling up the tiny living room just by standing there.
He glared at them menacingly: "How did you get in? Get out now! If you don’t, I’ll take action!"
This neighborhood had been neglected by law enforcement for many years, and when things happened, people were used to taking action directly, without thinking of calling the police.
Yuze raised an eyebrow, seeing Feng Zhe about to act.
Rob whispered gently to the side: "Maybe you should have some breakfast first..."
Josh’s mouth twitched; "I suggest not eating."
Rob: "If you don’t eat, you can’t take a beating."
Josh glanced at him: "Shows you have no experience in interrogations. When someone’s full and gets hit, the stuff they vomit out is sour and stinky. Being beaten on an empty stomach is better for everyone."
Rob suddenly realized: "Oh right..."
He admired Josh and gave her a thumbs up: "You really have experience."
Josh smiled slightly, accepting the compliment.
Feng Zhe: "..." Is there anyone to control these bastards?
Is there no justice left?
In his daze, the three were already slowly approaching him.
Feng Zhe sensed something was wrong and instinctively stepped back: "What do you want to do?"
Josh grinned: "Obviously, to take care of you."
Yuze’s eye twitched.
Rob was at a loss for words.

Screams echoed down the entire street, but the neighbors seemed accustomed to the chaos here and pretended not to hear anything.
Josh was right; for someone greedy like him, a fierce beating will eventually make him talk.
