Chapter 491 - 483: Semifinals 13
Josh’s eyes flickered as he moved closer: "What new trick are you trying to pull this time?"
Turbo suddenly started laughing and crying simultaneously, as if she had gone mad: "Don’t you know? I really like you, Josh, I really do. If I must die by the hands of the Golden Shit Stirrer, it’s best that it’s you."
The two locked eyes for a moment before Josh suddenly relented: "Alright."
Yuze frowned slightly: "Be careful, it could be a trap."
Josh: "Don’t worry, Turbo has my spider silk on her. If anything goes wrong, I’ll kill her immediately."
She slowly approached Turbo.
Turbo was covered in spider silk, her hands, feet, and neck were restrained and unable to move.
Josh moved closer and reached out to embrace her.
Turbo suddenly smiled menacingly: "Surprise!"
With a loud "bang," Turbo’s body suddenly exploded.
"Josh!" Yuze was stunned, his face changed color.
"I’m fine." Josh patted him, thankfully using spider silk to teleport to Yuze’s side in advance, avoiding the big explosion.
A figure flashed from the explosion and quickly disappeared from the scene.
Josh opened the system interface and saw a prompt that Turbo had already left the instance.
She looked at everyone: "Turbo faked death, used a Resurrection Card, and then exited the game."
Yuze looked gloomy: "She got away too easily!"
With Turbo gone, her two teammates naturally had nothing left to play and also exited the game.
The Iron Triangle team was thus eliminated.
As the explosion smoke cleared, Josh stared at it, her eyes flickering slightly; they needed to speed up the process.
The one-hour rest period was over.
The poisonous fog descended, and the safe zone continued to shrink.
As the Golden Shit Stirrer eliminated the Iron Triangle, many other teams were also eliminated.
Basically, by the end of the two rounds, the top players’ skills were fully gathered, and the remaining were some small fry, hiding sneakily, but they wouldn’t last long.
Continuously moving towards the safe zone, the ambushes they encountered grew more frequent.
Josh suddenly sensed something wrong and stopped: "Something’s off..."
Yuze squinted his eyes, quickly detecting the anomaly as well.
They seemed to be going in circles.
Logically, with Josh’s spider silk spread throughout the forest, they shouldn’t get lost, but now they indeed were lost.
Josh manipulated the spider silk, closed her eyes to sense; her silk spanned the forest, there should be no mistakes.
They continued walking for a while longer.
Josh stopped again: "Something’s not right!"
Rob asked in confusion: "Are we still lost?"
Josh nodded: "Yes, it’s very strange. According to the spider web, we should be moving forward, but opening the system shows that our distance from the safe zone hasn’t changed at all. This means we’re moving in place."
Yuze frowned slightly: "Everyone be careful, it could be a player’s confusion trap."
Just like Josh’s Infinite Dream, she could completely use Infinite Dream to create an illusion realm identical to this forest, allowing people to unknowingly walk into her illusion and continue moving in place.
When an illusion encounters another illusion, they won’t be compatible.
Josh tried to use Infinite Dream on the spot, but it showed that her dream skill was completely unimpeded.
This indicated they were indeed in the real world now.
"How strange, what’s going on?" Josh found this odd.
Rob shivered, snuggling into Jiang Can’s arms: "There’s something sinister in this forest!"
Jiang Can scratched his head: "Could it be human skills, like some superpower?"
Josh: "That possibility can’t be ruled out, but around here, most human bases are nearly emptied, there shouldn’t be any superpowers that can control remotely, right? Plus, there are so many of us."
Yushi suddenly said eerily: "It’s the mermaid."
"Mermaid?" Josh was particularly sensitive to these words.
Yushi blinked: "I heard it, the mermaid is singing."
Mermaids can create illusions with their singing; humans might not be able to hear the songs, but not hearing it doesn’t mean the song isn’t effective.
Rob looked at Yushi curiously: "Then how did you hear it?"
Yushi blinked: "Because I am also a mermaid."
"You’re a mermaid?!" Josh and Rob couldn’t help but exclaim in unison with shock.
Yuze was beside them, obviously without much expression.
Yushi looked confused: "You didn’t know?"
Josh looked at him strangely: "Then why don’t you have a fish tail... wait, that whip of yours, is it a Fishbone Whip?"
Yushi nodded: "Yes."
Rob was also shocked: "But isn’t your spiritual body a lizard?"
Yushi: "Yes."
Jiang Can’s brain finally caught up: "You’re a mermaid, and your spiritual body is a lizard?"
Seeing their surprised looks, Yushi said eerily: "You’re human, and your spiritual bodies aren’t human either, right?"
Josh: "..." That logic was surprisingly irrefutable.
She looked at the calm Yuze: "You knew all along?"
Yuze chuckled: "Of course, I know the people I recruit."
Josh was curious: "Where did you find a mermaid?"
Yushi: "Heizer Star is the mermaid’s planet. I came from there."
Yuze nodded: "Years ago, while on a mission, I passed by Heizer Star chasing interstellar pirates and brought him back home with me. Later, when I formed the Golden Shit Stirrer, he came along."
Josh was puzzled: "Then during the New Year, why didn’t Yushi go home with you?"
Yushi: "During the New Year, I have to return to the sea to replenish water."
Josh blinked and suddenly asked: "Who’s the Mermaid King on your planet now?"
Yuze glanced at her, a bit of jealousy in his eyes.
Josh pretended not to notice.
Yushi thought for a moment, then said seriously: "Currently, it’s the era of human rights, there’s no king. The mermaids on Heizer Star are under the Guardian God Noel on the planet."
Josh was a bit disappointed upon hearing that: "I see..."
She was just probing and didn’t have much hope.
The possibility of the Mermaid King appearing on Layena Star might be even higher.
Rob patted him: "Since you’re also a mermaid, can you break this illusion?"
Yushi: "I know where he is, but I can’t catch up, no way."
Josh thought for a moment: "I have an idea. You point me in the direction, I’ll use a dream to catch him in, and you can meet in the dream. Is that okay?"
Yushi nodded: "In the dream, I can try to break his Enchantment Technique."
Upon hearing this, Josh said to the others: "You guys stick together, stay here; I’ll take Yushi to catch that mermaid."
Yuze: "Be careful."
Josh nodded, pulling Yushi and treading on spider silk, quickly following the direction he pointed to find the mermaid causing trouble in the trees.
It turned out to be Emily!
