Immortal in Horror Game: She is the Fortune Teller!-Chapter 62 - 59: Horror Hospital 26 (Organizing Clues)
Josh quickly collected her thoughts: "Everyone, share the clues you’ve found. I’ll go first."
She organized the information she received from Qianqian:
"1. Her father is the director and a habitual cat abuser.
2. The virus in the greenhouse warehouse is contagious. If they complete the experiment, these cat-human hybrids will infect everyone in the outside world.
3. Qianqian’s father is likely a wanderer who can randomly possess different people.
4. Qianqian seems to oppose her father’s actions, but she’s forced to help him cover up due to their situation.
4. Based on the above clues, my main mission progress has advanced by 10%,"
As soon as she finished speaking, the other teammates received system notifications that the main mission had been synchronized and advanced.
Yuze said, "Pretty much the same here. We found various dissected cat corpses in the cold storage, and the bodies had Qianqian’s perfume scent. I suspected she was involved."
He paused and continued, "However, there’s one thing that doesn’t make sense. If the director intends to create genetic hybrids of humans and cats, why would he abuse and kill cats? It doesn’t make sense; his objectives don’t require such cruelty."
Josh frowned slightly.
Indeed.
If the director wants to transplant cat genes and minds into humans to replace humanity’s role in society, then why use such brutal methods to abuse cats?
It’s illogical. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
As Qianqian said, if the director’s goal is to aggressively lead cats to conquer the human world, his motives completely contradict his actions.
How could someone dedicated to the development of the Cat Clan do such things?
Josh lowered her head, deep in thought, feeling like the answer was on the verge of surfacing, but she was missing something.
Something very important, very crucial.
Yushi spread his hands, revealing a cat’s nose in his palm: "I went to the principal’s office, found a small cat’s nose in the bookshelf. Took photos, they’re in the group."
Josh opened the system and browsed the photos Yushi had taken in the group messages.
It actually made sense.
Cat noses clamped under different pages correspond to different patient rooms.
In other words, this indicated the order in which the director abused and killed the cats.
Each hospital room housed a person and a cat.
The nurses inspected patients’ health daily to screen for physically strong individuals.
All healthy people were taken to the third underground level, while those with weaker constitution were left in the rooms to continue feeding.
Cats that lost their human companions became targets for the director’s abuse.
That’s why patients at this hospital only ever came in, but never left!
She previously wondered how the hospital accommodated so many people and cats with its limited rooms.
She flipped to the last photo and asked Yushi, "Why does the last picture have no cat nose, only page creases?"
Yushi nodded: "There were many books with creases, too many to photograph."
Josh’s eyes lit up: "I get it! All we need to do is enter the principal’s office and find the books on the bookshelf to know in which room the next cat to be abused is located."
Yuze blinked: "Such a hassle~ Running in circles, aren’t we supposed to push the main mission? Little Tactician?"
Josh looked at the others: "To achieve peaceful coexistence between humans and cats, the director is the key. We just need to capture the wandering monster or find the director himself to get the next clue."
Yushi blinked: "Should we split up?"
Yuze frowned slightly: "It’s best not to. We discovered a Divine-level Monster in this dimension that can pollute spiritual power, the dungeon has been upgraded to A-level, but our power is still suppressed to the B-level dungeon compatibility."
Rob nodded in agreement: "Luckily, we haven’t encountered any major monsters; otherwise, with our current strength, it would indeed be dangerous."
Josh frowned slightly, "Sorry, I triggered it. There’s also a side mission, ’Rescue the Trapped Divine-level Experimental Subject.’ I didn’t know it would cause the dungeon to upgrade to A-level, so I didn’t tell you in time, I forgot."
Rob patted her little furry head reassuringly: "No big deal. By the way, how do you switch between human and cat? If you can become human, it would make doing tasks simpler. We can’t just chat with you in the group all the time, right?"
Yushi nodded along: "In critical moments, it’s too late to check messages."
Josh also wanted their help, so she said, "There’s an electrified pool at the bottom of the greenhouse warehouse, I just jumped in and got electrified into a human, but there’s a time limit, it can only last about two hours."
Yuze nodded: "Alright, then let’s go to the basement first."
Familiar with the place, they reached the basement smoothly.
Josh jumped into the pool and transformed into a human.
The others turned their backs to her.
A slender, white hand reached out from the water, grabbed the clothes by the pool, and got dressed.
"All set." Josh walked out.
Yuze held her back: "Aren’t we going to rescue this Divine-level Monster?"
Josh’s mouth twitched: "Let him out to attack us? This rescue mission should mean complete rescue. I checked in the control room; the switch doesn’t control his pod door, so it must be done another way."
She looked at the person sleeping in the central lab, a thoughtful look crossing her eyes: "Besides... he said it was because of me that he turned out this way; I think that’s another clue."
"Because of you?" Rob leaned in curiously: "Why? Is it because you’re particularly good-looking?"
Yuze pushed his head away, "I said it’s a clue that needs investigating. If she knew why, why would she still be doing the task?"
Rob suddenly understood: "Oh, right."
They left the third underground level.
Before leaving, they also went to find Jiang Can.
Earlier, Josh had secretly turned the greenhouse warehouse’s aerosol system at Jiang Can’s side to its lowest setting. With Jiang Can’s high defense stats, he was able to maintain clear awareness in the greenhouse.
Jiang Can didn’t have much more information, only saying: "Someone patrols here about every four hours."
Josh pondered and asked, "Besides the cat nurses, have you seen anyone else patrolling here?"
Only then did Jiang Can remember, scratching his head: "Almost forgot to mention, the Iron Triangle team is also in this dungeon. Captain, they might be targeting you."
The Iron Triangle is another team in the Eden Garden Guild, ranking fifth in overall strength.
Though just fifth place, rumors suggest hidden strength, as the Iron Triangle almost never loses against any team.
The only time they were defeated was in an encounter with Yuze.
So, they particularly target the Golden Shit Stirrer.
