Immortal in Horror Game: She is the Fortune Teller!-Chapter 26 - 24: The End

Green Hair hurled all the durians from the convenience store at the octopus, but its body was invincible. Not only did it remain unharmed, but it was also completely enraged, chasing after them relentlessly.

Josh, seeing this, quickly jumped into the pool.

The moment she hit the water, the octopus instantly turned its head and looked in her direction.

"A diversion?!" the octopus sneered, "You all can go to hell!"

It let out a roar toward the sky, and the puppets on stage wielded small knives, plunging into the water.

The dolphins below, controlled like well-trained soldiers, caught the puppets as they leapt into the water.

The puppets rode on the dolphins’ backs, holding sharp little knives, charging furiously toward Josh.

Josh hastily picked up speed.

But the dolphins were faster than her, accelerating into a dive, forming a circle to trap her in the middle.

The puppets grinned menacingly, stabbing at Josh.

Josh gritted her teeth and, in the moment the dolphins approached, sank downward, kicking fiercely at one of them, using the force to dive even deeper.

Behind her, the water churned.

Josh instinctively sensed danger, dodging to the side.

The ribbon in her pigtails was sliced off, her seaweed-like long hair unfurling in the water, shimmering like rubies.

With her speed, there was no way she could outpace the dolphins. Continuing like this would only deplete her strength in vain.

The puppets’ next wave of attack was imminent.

She tied the key, Mermaid Heart, and Mermaid’s Soul Suppressing Pearl together, clutching them in her hand, and quietly redeemed a launcher from the Pinduoduo store.

As she turned, pulling the slingshot tight toward the depths, the dolphins charged at her.

Josh took a gamble, firing the items in her hand sharply outward.

In the instant the items approached the light source at the bottom, erupting in a brilliant light, a dolphin rammed into her lower back, kicking her downward.

Her body, no longer under her control, sped along with the wave.

She collided into a firm, cold embrace.

An ethereal chanting echoed beside her ears.

Her waist was tightly held, finally finding a solid point of support.

Josh looked up and saw the face of the Mermaid King.

His ears had transformed into fin shapes, flashing a beautiful, transparent hue, refracting the water’s light into a dazzling array of colors, exquisitely beautiful.

Above the water, a strong light burst, the water enveloped by a tranquil force, gradually calming down, rippling softly.

The Mermaid King slightly raised his head, gazing toward the water’s surface.

The gently undulating waves and light above cast a gem-like radiance on his face, yet his appearance in the water exuded a soft, hazy glow.

As if worshipped like a deity in the clouds, strikingly beautiful in an androgynous and fierce manner.

Josh, caught off guard by the stunning visual feast up close, was momentarily entranced.

The mermaid had lowered his gaze, looking at her, slowly placing a kiss on her lips, "You did great, little one."

He carried Josh to the shore, his tail stirring the waves, surging into a frenzy, rushing toward the octopus.

Josh once felt that names like "little one, little cutie, baby, little poor one, little friend," with their implied imagery, were greasy.

Turned out, it depended on the face.

If it came from the face of the Mermaid King, it wasn’t just refreshing, it was utterly captivating.

Josh closed her eyes, calming herself for a moment, finally clearing that face from her mind.

While the Mermaid King was fiercely battling the octopus, she couldn’t help but dive into the water again.

The Mermaid King had purified the waters, making the dolphins and puppets harmless to her.

She rode a dolphin, plunging straight to the bottom.

Everywhere, gemstones shimmered with a crystal blue light, radiating a mesmerizing beauty.

Josh couldn’t help but suppress the excitement in her chest, gathering gemstones skilfully.

[Warning, player Life Value is critically low, prolonged underwater stay may lead to shock, please surface within half an hour.]

Hogwash.

Josh dismissed the popped-up warning, quickly picking up gemstones from the ground.

These blue gems were each as thick as her little arms, large, vividly clear and colored, filling the skirt pocket densely.

Unfortunately, she hadn’t brought anything to carry them, barely gathering a pocketful before climbing onto the dolphin again, which then sank under the weight.

Josh: "...Don’t play dead, you can do it, you had plenty of strength when you bumped me."

Dolphin: "..."

It struggled, wagging its tail with all its might, lifting Josh, carrying her to the shore.

The Mermaid King had already beaten the octopus to near death.

Yet the Mermaid King’s rage was far from over. He let out a roar, causing Huang Bairen and Zhu Yongchang to fall from the Ferris wheel.

They seemed about to crash onto the Mermaid King.

The Mermaid King flicked his tail, sending Huang Bairen flying into the wall with a crash, killing him on the spot.

Green Hair and Qian Duobao hurriedly called for help.

Josh, seeing the Mermaid King’s berserk state was still high, rushed forward.

The Mermaid King swung his tail in her direction, sensing her presence, then quickly softened.

Josh’s forehead pressed against the Mermaid King’s, releasing spiritual power to him.

That sensation appeared again.

She felt herself transformed into a pink and white spider, falling onto a tangled mass of threads.

The threads were chaotic, crackling with blue lightning, places where they overlapped like a short-circuit, sparking.

Instinctively, she waved her two tiny pink paws, swiftly organizing the chaotic "wires," in no time, untangling the mess, allowing electricity to flow unimpeded.

Josh even sensed a hint of joy in there.

She opened her eyes, distancing herself from the Mermaid King.

The Mermaid King was already calm, watching her with a pleasant demeanor.

He drew Josh close, pointing a finger toward the octopus. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

The octopus exploded instantly, scattering a heap of equipment.

He placed a bead-like item in Josh’s hand, his eyes reflecting her small cat-like face, "We’ll meet again, little spider."

With those words, the Mermaid King dissolved into a aura of light.

In Josh’s hand, aside from the bead he handed her, appeared the Mermaid Heart and the Mermaid’s Soul Suppressing Stone.

[Ding! Congratulations, player Josh, for gathering three rare-quality items from the dungeon, enabling a 100% synthesis into divine-level equipment.]

The announcement caused the entire livestream to explode.

[Damn! This is just a newbie dungeon used as a filter; you’re telling me it not only had rare items but also synthesized divine-level equipment?]

[Dammit! Officials, please release the censored parts, don’t make me beg you!]

Josh: [Exit instance.]

Josh’s figure disappeared from the dungeon.
