Immortal in Horror Game: She is the Fortune Teller!-Chapter 199 - 198: Gorgeous Cage 45 (Cyberbullying)
"Tian Caiji, get out! You’re not welcome here!"
"Yeah! You’re not welcome!"
The uproar quickly grew louder.
With someone leading, others naturally enjoyed the spectacle.
Yuze couldn’t hold back any longer and revealed his claws, fiercely swiping at a few NPCs nearby who were throwing vegetable leaves at them.
The scene was chaotic.
Josh couldn’t stop him.
Yuze dealing with these people was just like chopping vegetables.
Once someone started to make a move, the others didn’t hold back anymore. They stood far away, as if joining in the excitement, throwing whatever was at hand around them.
The scene was utterly chaotic.
Half an hour later.
Yuze stood on the table, lazily looking at them, "Dare to try again?"
"No... we don’t dare..." The restaurant owner lay at his feet, covered in blood.
Josh still underestimated his fighting prowess.
"Strength in numbers," doesn’t mean a thing to Yuze.
There were at least a hundred people present, all as weak as powerless NPCs, beaten submissive by Yuze, not daring to let out a fart.
Josh’s mouth twitched slightly; it wasn’t that she couldn’t take on these people, she just thought... it wasn’t worth wasting time on them.
Seeing Yuze being so earnest, she couldn’t help but find it amusing, "That’s enough."
Yuze finally retracted his hands, coldly withdrawing his gaze.
Josh said, "These people were probably just swayed by what’s been happening online."
Rob nodded in agreement, "I think that God R is targeting you. Why does he dislike you so much?"
Josh shrugged, "How should I know? Let’s eat quickly; we have important things to do after."
After eating, they maneuvered through the crowd and booked a room at an e-sports hotel right across Er Miao’s house.
Josh left Spider Silk to monitor at Er Miao’s house. As long as she didn’t stray too far, she could keep track of everything happening at the Er Miao’s.
Rob whispered, "Actually, if we want to understand the specific situation, we could check Er Miao’s account."
Josh thought for a moment, "Let’s split up. There’s a game pod over there, Captain, you go check Er Miao’s account; I’ll stay here to monitor."
Yuze nodded and walked towards the nearby game pod.
Rob followed, "Captain, how should we check?"
Yuze: "Use your clever little brain to think about it."
Rob: "... Why does this feel a bit sarcastic?"
Yuze: "You’re not mistaken."
Rob: "Hmph!"
Josh directed the Spider Silk, and after upgrading to E-level, Spider Silk was not only more durable, but its monitoring range had expanded significantly.
It turned out there were indeed issues with Er Miao’s family.
In the house opposite.
Luo Zhiwei had a cold face, "Next time someone comes knocking, don’t open it for anyone! Do you hear me?"
Beside him, Luo Zengsheng trembled in fear.
Zhang Xiaomei tenderly pulled her son into her arms, "He’s timid, why frighten him? It wasn’t intentional, that little Rob grew up with him, he’s not an outsider!"
Luo Zhiwei gave her a cold stare, "The more people come, the more likely that thing will be exposed!"
Zhang Xiaomei, knowing she was at fault, quickly nodded, "Don’t worry, I understand, I’ll watch over Zeng Sheng."
Luo Zhiwei finally nodded in response.
Luo Zengsheng nestled by his mother, whispered, "What we’re doing is wrong..."
"Hush!" Zhang Xiaomei harshly glared at him, "Don’t talk nonsense; are you scared out of your wits?"
Luo Zengsheng said nothing more, lowering his head sadly.
Luo Zhiwei sighed deeply, looking at Zhang Xiaomei, "How long will we have to keep our doors shut like this?"
Zhang Xiaomei’s face turned slightly cold, "Until this matter blows over."
Luo Zhiwei seemed a bit anxious, "Do you think this matter will get found out..."
A harsh look flashed across Zhang Xiaomei’s face, "What is there to investigate? Neither dead nor alive, what could they possibly find?"
Luo Zhiwei, recalling the matter, felt a bit frightened, not daring to say more.
Josh slightly frowned; this family was quite cautious.
Not uttering any sensitive words, she couldn’t pick up anything meaningful from her surveillance.
However... it seemed Luo Zengsheng might be a good breakthrough point.
Once she finished monitoring, Yuze gathered some information on the other side.
He placed the materials related to the cyberbullying incident on the table.
Josh walked over, "How is it?"
Yuze: "It mostly matches what the Luo Family said, but there are still a few doubts."
Josh sifted through the materials on the table.
These were all evidence of Er Miao being cyberbullied.
Just as Zhang Xiaomei mentioned.
Er Miao was initially cyberbullied because the matchmaking issue was brought online.
Er Miao had a matchmaking with a man named Guan Wenshi. They got along quite well, reaching the stage of engagement and bride price.
However, after one night, Guan Wenshi suddenly changed his mind, saying Er Miao wasn’t a virgin and thus unworthy of the 16.8 bride price he had to pay.
The Luo family argued that since he had already been with their daughter, how could they possibly return her?
The Guan family said they could still marry, but they wouldn’t give a bride price and would require a dowry of 100,000.
The Luo Family was unwilling and didn’t want to force the marriage, ultimately deciding to call off the engagement.
Unexpectedly, Guan Wenshi broke into the Luo Family’s house in the middle of the night and stabbed Er Miao to death.
The first time Er Miao was cyberbullied was due to the matchmaking issue being posted online.
Online, people said Er Miao wasn’t a virgin and that she shouldn’t demand the 16.8 bride price.
The biggest issue with these materials is that all related matchmaking matters were recorded by Zhang Xiaomei in a video and posted online. Supposedly, she wanted to get justice for Er Miao through the video, but her attitude was inevitably subject to criticism.
"Even if our Er Miao isn’t a virgin, so what? Why doesn’t she deserve the 16.8 bride price? Don’t mention 16.8, she deserves even 26.8 or 36.8!"
"The Guan family has no money or skills; if they can’t marry, then don’t! Yet they’ve touched my daughter and now they’re reneging!"
"What hillbilly from a village, nowadays who gets married without starting at 16.8? Why can others accept it, but his can’t? Why?"
Upon hearing these words, forget the netizens, even Josh felt a bit uncomfortable watching.
It didn’t look like someone seeking justice for their daughter but rather a sharp-tongued woman.
Josh frowned slightly; posting this video online, she could easily imagine how Er Miao would be scolded.
Even if it was Luo Family’s reasoning, Zhang Xiaomei’s attitude could turn it into them being unreasonable.
However...
Josh looked through the cyberbullying materials, noticing a few familiar IDs.
As the cyberbullying progressed, new content was brought up.
Previously, Er Miao had participated in an event organized by God R, winning first place and dining at Phoebe Manor.
Some clips about Er Miao interacting with God R seemed to have leaked, criticizing her for not respecting God R enough.
Originally a typical matchmaking saga, once God R got involved, it blew up entirely.
For a long period afterwards, Er Miao remained in a state of being cyberbullied.
What surprised Josh was, unlike the two previous victims, during Er Miao’s cyberbullying, she even directly confronted those insulting her online.
