Immortal in Horror Game: She is the Fortune Teller!-Chapter 284 - 279: Strange Divine Academy 24

Josh withdrew his knife, split open the door to the rooftop, and turned to leave.

Killing Susanna wouldn’t benefit her at all.

It’s not that she didn’t dare to kill, but rather... it brought no benefit to her.

She didn’t do things that offered no gain.

If someone was willing to pay her to take action, then she would gladly oblige.

She believed that Susanna’s life might later fetch a price, with someone begging her to take it.

So now, there was no need for her to exert herself for nothing.

Barrage: [Damn! That was intense!]

[Can you believe it, an E-level Spiritual Power User took down seven or eight higher-level Spiritual Power Users with bare hands!]

[Was it because of the Divine Light from that statue?]

[What’s the hidden plot behind that statue, I really want to see!]

[I can’t wait, this is the first time I’ve been so eager for Josh to pass the level quickly, and then to watch the replay.]

[Seriously, isn’t anyone struck by how cool she is?]

[Wahhhhh, I... Josh has leveled up from my internet scolding electronic pet to my electronic husband! So secure!]

[I knew it! I’m not the only one charmed!]

In the afternoon, everyone returned to the classroom blood-soaked, and Windsor just glanced at them indifferently, even finding the time to joke, "Those missing arms or legs, please keep silent. If you hum out of order again, go die immediately~"

Everyone was so intimidated by Windsor’s cold gaze that they felt the hair on the back of their neck standing up, and no one dared to question the truth in her words.

There was no proper infirmary in the school, so they could only spend points in the system mall to exchange for some painkillers and medicine to simply treat the wounds and stop the bleeding.

By evening, the atmosphere on campus grew even more terrifying and eerie.

The wind carried stretched voices of women crying and laughing, accompanied by men’s sarcastic laughter, mixed with some bizarre tone and gurgling sounds from their throats.

This time, everyone was hesitant, unsure if they should return to the dorms.

If they encountered a large group of female ghosts chasing them on the way back, there was no guarantee they could make it back under the statue in time.

Someone quietly suggested in the crowd, "Why don’t we stay under the statue overnight... we can’t sleep well back in the dorms anyway."

"I think that works!"

"I agree too."

As the suggestion came out, others immediately echoed it.

"Where do you think you’re going?" Windsor’s sinister voice came from behind.

Everyone felt a sudden chill on their backs, shivered, and quickly turned.

Windsor stood menacingly behind them, blocking the way from the classroom building to the statue’s direction.

"It’s almost 7 PM, you know. If you don’t return to the dorms, you’ll face severe punishment~" Windsor’s eyes reddened more and more, and as she opened her mouth, a long tongue drooped to the ground, dripping with sticky saliva.

She used her tongue as a whip, striking fiercely at the players’ feet.

The splattered mucus fell onto the nearby grass, instantly corroding a rose as if it were acid.

The crowd was shocked, hurriedly retreating.

Windsor sneered coldly, driving everyone back towards the dormitory area.

Josh mingled within the crowd; Erin looked at her anxiously, "What do we do? Teacher Windsor won’t let us go to the statue to hide, will we be eaten by female ghosts tonight?"

Josh shrugged, "Maybe."

Erin grew even more panicked, "Then, then what do we do?"

Josh thought about it seriously, "I don’t know."

The players nearby, eavesdropping, couldn’t help feeling frustrated at such an unproductive exchange.

What’s up with Josh?

Wasn’t she quite capable before?

Why can’t she do it now?

Given that Josh cut off their arms at noon, everyone had openly started to isolate Josh, not walking with her.

Josh was more than happy to be alone.

For safety, both boys and girls did not walk separately.

Rustling sounds were already emerging from the bushes on both sides.

Josh also secretly grew more vigilant.

The things tonight were surely going to be more frenzied than last night because they hardly killed many people before.

The insatiable monsters were bound to counterattack twice as viciously tonight.

Suddenly, a shadow darted out from the bushes.

The crowd was horrified, retreating continuously.

Close behind the shadow was a massive wave of darkness, like a tide of black water cascading from the bushes, rushing towards the players.

On a closer look, these black waters were densely packed creatures crawling rapidly on the ground with hands and feet, covering the entire surface due to their massive numbers.

The veteran players hurriedly summoned Divine Light, casting it onto the creatures.

Unexpectedly, these creatures were not deterred, but instead grew several times larger under the light, towering nearly as tall as an adult.

The crowd was momentarily stunned with fright, quickly turning to flee.

A veteran player, about to be smacked to death, hurriedly tossed a prop and bolted.

They headed towards the boys’ dormitory, but the rustling noises indicated a wave of monsters rushing that way too.

They were forced to retreat, running towards the only monster-free direction, the classroom building, at the three-way intersection.

But soon after they were pushed back again.

All three paths were blocked, the overwhelming tide of monsters watched them intently, as if observing prey about to be snared.

Josh, with Erin, drifted to the branch of a bush, looking down at the school.

Almost the entire school was covered by the monster tide.

The student NPCs were trapped at the three-way intersection without any retreat.

Josh frowned slightly, watching the people below.

No one dared to use Divine Light again for fear of further empowering the creatures.

Moreover, players tried slaying the monsters, but they seemed invincible; when split in half, they would simply divide into two.

At this rate, the number of monsters would only increase.

Erin looked at her, "What should we do?" 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Josh lowered her head in contemplation. If she guessed right, this might be part of the second test.

At the end of the first test, a voice in the test chamber said the second test had begun the moment they stepped out of the room.

These strengthened monsters were likely part of it.

Meaning, these monsters could be defeated and repelled.

There must be some way and hint they were overlooking.

Suddenly, a shadow climbed up beside them, and their position was exposed too.

A cold gleam flashed in Josh’s eyes, and without hesitation, she jumped down with Erin.

Others deliberately stayed a bit away from the two, as if afraid they wouldn’t know they were being isolated.

Josh didn’t mind, just carefully observing the monster tide nearby.

The monsters were restless, then suddenly lunged quickly towards them.
