Immortal in Horror Game: She is the Fortune Teller!

Chapter 372 - 366: Horror Doll House 14

Jiang Can saw Yuze and felt as if he had found his backbone, nodding slowly.

He then looked at Josh, "Was it you who called me just now?"

Josh sighed in relief, "Who else would it be? I’m the only woman here."

Jiang Can smiled gratefully, "Thank you."

Josh waved it off, "It’s nothing, just be careful. There’s a heavy aura of resentment from the dolls here; they must have sensed the negative emotions inside you and took advantage of it."

Jiang Can nodded.

For some reason, the light in Josh’s words flickered in his mind, and now he felt a sense of clarity; the negative emotions stirred by the old events in the Illusion Realm had vanished.

With his rationality restored, he realized.

He didn’t have a sister at all!

That Erya was most likely a trick being played by the dolls!

He looked at the doll on the display stand, his gaze instantly turning cold.

Josh asked, "Do you remember how you were pulled into the Dream Realm just now? What did you see there? What emotions were stirred?"

Jiang Can frowned and said, "I can’t quite remember, it was just a blur, felt like I had fallen asleep, and dreamt, returning to the past."

He glanced at Yuze, feeling a bit bitter, "Returned to one of the most unbearable memories of my past."

Josh thought for a moment, "Is it alright for you to share what emotions are tied to that memory? If it’s not convenient, that’s okay."

The fact that only Jiang Can was drawn into the dream by the dolls, and not anyone else, suggests that the emotions hidden deep within him resonated strongly with the dolls.

If they could glean such information, it might be of help in uncovering the secret of the second layer.

Jiang Can said, "It’s really not that secretive; it’s about my mother’s death, my hatred towards my father, and memories of being abandoned and expelled from the village by him."

Josh nodded knowingly, then lowered her head in thought for a moment, "From what the girl named Wu said just now on the display stand, it’s apparent these dolls want someone to take their place on the stand. This means that they are trapped there, also wanting to escape."

Yuze’s eyes glimmered, "But they need someone to replace them so they can come down from the stand. If there isn’t..."

Josh: "It will definitely trigger some sort of crisis."

Their eyes met, silently understanding each other.

Yuze flashed out his cat claws, while Josh manipulated the Spider Silk.

With a swift move, the two of them severed all the glass covers on the display stands and the threads on the dolls.

The dolls screamed in terror.

The loud explosion and the screams of the dolls immediately attracted the other players.

"What the hell happened?"

"The glass shattered? Have the dolls gone crazy?"

"Are they going to attack us?"

"Who did this? Are you insane?"

The crowd cursed and swore, but then noticed that after the screams, the dolls quieted down.

Without the threads controlling them, they didn’t seem intent on acting, instead slowly bowing their heads, like puppets drained of energy, sluggishly drooping, limbs limp as if life force had abandoned them, turning them into complete corpses.

Josh slightly furrowed her brows.

Something was off.

The dolls seemed to be suppressed by something, even without the threads, they didn’t dare come down from the stand on their own.

The dolls on the first floor wanted to escape to the second floor to avoid being burned.

But what did the dolls on the second floor want?

Josh considered this and said to Jiang Can, "I need to borrow your emotions."

Jiang Can nodded, "Of course."

Josh said, "This might cause those unpleasant emotions inside you to well up again, it won’t feel good."

Jiang Can: "It’s alright, I can handle it."

Hearing this, Josh nodded, confidently forming a synesthesia formula with her hands.

She placed one hand on Jiang Can’s forehead, while the other hand held onto the hand of the doll on the adjacent stand.

She drew out Jiang Can’s negative emotions.

This was a sensitive synesthesia formula, using herself as a medium, allowing the dolls to empathize with Jiang Can’s emotions.

But whether it was the doll or Jiang Can’s emotions, they both needed to be perceived through Josh’s body.

Josh slowly closed her eyes.

Seeming to sense something, Jiang Can also slowly closed his eyes.

The emotions of anger at what his family did, helplessness and despair after being abandoned by family washed over from Jiang Can, flowing through Josh’s body, sensed by the doll.

The doll seemed to suddenly be activated, its eyes snapped open, glaring straight ahead with blood-red eyes, about to pop out of their sockets.

Expressionless, its eyes wide, yet a whimpering, hopeless cry emerged from its mouth.

"Mommy, Mommy, why don’t you come find me? I’m so cold, Mommy, so hungry, take me home, Mommy... Mommy... I want to go home..."

"Why aren’t you coming for me! Mommy, where are you!!"

"Come out! I’m here to find you! I will definitely find you!"

The doll grew more hideous, suddenly leaping from the stand, breaking free from Josh’s hand, frantically picking up shards from the floor, waving them chaotically, rushing towards the crowd.

The players were taken aback, quickly summoning weapons to defend themselves.

But the doll was like it went berserk, crazily hacking at them with the shards.

"Let me out! Let me out!"

"I want to go home!! Away with you vile adults!!"

"Aaaah!"

The doll’s attack was fierce, but with a dozen to twenty players combined summoning weapons, slaughtering a doll was no problem.

Josh watched with furrowed brows.

The doll looked like a mad dog cornered by the crowd, wildly hacking and biting at people, the players brandishing their weapons, trapping it in the middle, their faces sinister, eyes widened in fear and excitement, attacks turning from orderly to mindless thrashing.

It seemed the sight of the doll weak and frantically attacking people had unleashed the beast inside them, everyone madly whipping the trapped doll with their weapons.

She manipulated the Spider Silk, quickly wrapping up the doll, pulling it out.

The doll was flung into the air.

She retracted the Spider Silk, the doll hung upside down from the ceiling, hair and clothes dangling, twisting its head in an extremely eerie manner like a spider, glaring viciously down below.

Josh squinted at the doll, sensing through the emotions just now, the doll seemed to have been abandoned by family, starved to death.

Yet, the doll jumping down hadn’t revealed any information about the entrance to the third floor.

She looked at the other dolls, once again invoking emotions into another doll.

A sharp cry rang out, another doll went mad, somehow finding a knife, hacking at anyone it saw.

But even in madness, the doll knew to bully the weak and fear the strong, sensing Yuze’s strength, avoiding them, only venting its fury on other players.
