Immortal in Horror Game: She is the Fortune Teller!-Chapter 196 - 195: Gorgeous Cage 42 (Punishing Feng Zhe)
Feng Zhe lay dying in the corner, sobbing uncontrollably with his head swollen like a pig’s.
Yuze squatted in front of him with a smile: "See? Wouldn’t it have been easier if you just told us earlier?"
As Feng Zhe saw him approach, he instinctively hugged his head and shrunk further into the corner.
Josh grabbed his collar, "Can you talk now? What really happened before Banban died?"
Feng Zhe sniffled, looking at the five knives stuck in his body: "Could you take the knives out first, and then I’ll talk?"
Josh: "No way, if we pull them out, the blood will gush out, won’t you die even faster?"
Feng Zhe’s expression grew increasingly panicked: "I... I... I..."
Rob patted him on the shoulder, "Quickly tell us, and we can rescue you faster. If you’re too late, we really won’t be able to save you."
Feng Zhe looked at the big knives on his body and then at the three seemingly friendly young people, realizing that if he didn’t speak clearly, these people might actually kill him.
He had no choice but to compromise: "My sister was indeed cyberbullied to death..."
Yuze raised his fist.
"But!" Feng Zhe hurriedly interrupted his action, "But that night, my mom and I deliberately didn’t help, which is why she really died."
Banban was cyberbullied, and Feng Zhe had known for a while, but he didn’t take it seriously.
Later, he inadvertently overheard a neighbor saying that the daughter from a nearby family, Lilith, had also been cyberbullied into suicide. After her death, her mother received online donations, saying the cyberbullies regretted their actions.
The donation amounted to three million!
At that moment, a crazy idea formed in Feng Zhe’s head. His sister was also being cyberbullied; if only she would commit suicide...
Of course, he knew this thought was unscrupulous, so he didn’t dare interfere. He just quietly observed Banban’s mental state.
He didn’t want to admit it, but even though Banban was his sister, he hoped more than anyone that she would crumble under the pressure of cyberbullying and take her own life.
During that time, he would intentionally or unintentionally treat her harshly, deliberately saying hurtful and discouraging things to her, even infiltrating the group of cyberbullies in the virtual world, taunting her behind a virtual mask.
Finally, as he wished, Banban took her own life.
Feng Zhe was both thrilled and terrified; although he had hoped she’d die, the smell of blood in the house instinctively filled him with dread.
His sister was inside, close to death.
The realization nearly drove him mad.
His mother, Li Xiaoping, suddenly came upstairs, found him not in his room, and thought it was odd.
Feng Zhe was startled, instinctively blocking the door.
Li Xiaoping saw his strange look and asked puzzledly, "What’s wrong with you? Why do you look so guilty?"
Just as Feng Zhe was about to speak, a knocking sound came from inside as if someone were tapping the corner of the door.
Feng Zhe was so nervous that his expression twitched.
"Help... help..." a faint voice came from the room.
Li Xiaoping noticed something was wrong and quickly went to open the door: "Is Banban inside? She..."
"Mom!" Feng Zhe suddenly reached out, gripping his mother’s hand tightly to prevent her from approaching the door.
His face was beaded with sweat from tension, his muscles taut, and his breathing heavy.
Li Xiaoping sensed something amiss: "What on earth is going on?!"
Feng Zhe, overwhelmed with anxiety, was momentarily disoriented: "Sister is committing suicide inside."
"Suicide?!" Li Xiaoping’s face paled: "Then why won’t you move? Open the door! Banban... Banban..."
The scratching sound from inside seemed to respond to Li Xiaoping’s call.
Feng Zhe, with bloodshot eyes and panting heavily, intently stared at Li Xiaoping: "Mom, it’s because of the cyberbullying that sister is committing suicide."
Li Xiaoping grew more anxious: "Then open the door quickly! Banban, don’t do anything stupid inside! Come out now!"
Seeing her panicked expression, Feng Zhe slowly calmed down: "Do you know how much the family received after their daughter in the area above us committed suicide from cyberbullying? Three million!"
"No matter how much money it is! Save your sister first! Didn’t you hear her knocking inside the door..." Li Xiaoping was frightened by the word ’suicide’; her first reaction was to save her daughter.
Feng Zhe stubbornly barred the door, not letting her approach: "Mom! Three million!"
Li Xiaoping met Feng Zhe’s horrifying gaze and suddenly understood his meaning.
Initially startled, Li Xiaoping then seemed to be in a daze: "Three... three million...?"
Feng Zhe silently nodded.
Li Xiaoping, an honest woman who had always put her son first, had been the backbone of the family since her husband died.
Feng Zhe’s eyes grew increasingly calm: "Do you know what three million means for our family? You won’t have to worry about me finding a wife anymore... we can move out of this dump and live in a big house."
Terrified, Li Xiaoping stuttered: "But... your sister... she..."
Feng Zhe’s gaze grew utterly cold: "Sister was cyberbullied, and she’s committing suicide in the room."
Faced with his gaze, Li Xiaoping suddenly felt a chill, instinctively taking a step back: "Ah Zhe..."
Feng Zhe said nothing more, firmly barring the door to prevent Li Xiaoping from entering.
The entrance fell deathly silent, with only the faint sound of nails scratching the door from within, growing weaker with each pass.
Blood slowly seeped from under the door, spreading towards Feng Zhe and Li Xiaoping’s feet.
The scratching within finally faded away.

Rob angrily punched Feng Zhe: "You beast! This is murder! And not only did you feel no remorse after the fact, you used her death to make money from live streaming?"
Cowering in the corner with his head covered, Feng Zhe stared at them with a trace of madness: "Do you know how much we made from streaming? In just half a month! We made over five million! Even if she were alive, knowing how much money we made, she would definitely be very happy, very willing! My mom worked so hard to raise her, this is what she owes us!"
Josh and Yuze looked grim.
Both felt a chill down their spines.
In this world full of wounds, for money, what aren’t they capable of?
[Ding! Congratulations on completing the main storyline ’Discover the Truth of Banban’s Death,’ advancing the storyline by 20%, with current progress at 40%.]
With everything cleared up, there was no reason to stay.
They got up.
Rob asked: "What do we do with this scumbag?"
Josh gave the man lying on the ground a cold glance, a look of disgust passing through his eyes: "Isn’t he afraid to die? Then let’s help pull the knives out."
Feng Zhe’s eyes flickered with joy as he nodded rapidly: "Yes, yes! Save me! I’ve told you everything, you have to save me!"
Yuze frowned slightly: "Let me do it."
Josh shook her head: "You two go out, I’ll do it."
She pushed the two out, then turned to look at Feng Zhe, pulling out all five knives from his body.
Screaming in pain, Feng Zhe arched his head back, drenched in sweat.
Blood flowed ceaselessly from his wounds.
He crawled towards Josh, "Save me! Save me now..."
Josh coldly turned away, leaving Feng Zhe’s horrified gaze behind as she shut the old door.
It was as if Feng Zhe had finally realized something, his eyes widening in shock and crawling frantically forward, full of fear.
But he couldn’t open the door.
Terrified and angry, he clawed at the door with all his might, trying to get those outside to open it.
Blood slowly pooled underneath him, spreading to the outside of the door.
Outside, there was no one, only a lock hanging on the door.
Inside, the sound of scratching at the door occasionally echoed, growing fainter each time...
