Thriller Zone: From the Mental Hospital to the Ghostly World

Three figures emerged from the air in mid-air.

To their surprise, the entire villa was warm and cozy, with bright lights.

Chen Ji and Fei'er exchanged a glance and then looked towards the living room.

"SpongeBob, let's go jellyfish hunting!"

The television was turned up very loud, playing children's cartoons.

On the sofa, a small figure, covered with a blanket, is eating potato chips, looking very content.

Wusu stretched lazily, seemingly unsurprised by the appearance of the three.

His voice was very calm, like that of a little adult:

“I saw you floating on the Yu River, so I told the nanny to leave early.”

"Don't worry, everything is normal."

As he said this, his dark, large eyes glanced at Chen Ji.

Chen Ji's heart stirred slightly, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he turned to look at Du Tingfeng, who was frantically replying to WeChat messages.

"How's Sister Yu doing?"

"They said I'm feeling a bit better, so I'll go to the hospital to get it checked out."

Du Tingfeng grabbed a coat and quickly relayed the doctor's words.

Du Muyu's overall condition is improving, but we'll have to wait for today's report to find out the specifics.

He didn't explain much, just gave Chen Ji a few words of advice, and then went straight out to the hospital.

On the other side, Fei'er let her hair down and rubbed her temples sleepily.

She had been on edge throughout the alternate dimension, but now that she was suddenly relaxed, she felt a little sleepy.

"I'm going back too."

Fei'er muttered, waving her phone: "I'll find Liu Zi's account tomorrow and send it to you."

Chen Ji nodded.

A few minutes later, only Wusu and Chen Ji remained in the large living room.

It was already 9 p.m.

The ending theme of the animated film had already started playing. Chen Ji sat down next to Wu Su and turned off the TV.

"I want to see more!"

Wusu paused for a moment, then reached out to snatch the remote control away.

"You should go to sleep."

Chen Ji said helplessly, "Children who stay up late won't grow tall."

"I was never going to grow any taller anyway."

Wu Su looked calmly at Chen Ji and stated the facts.

Chen Ji pretended not to hear him, pulled the blanket tighter, and was about to pick up Wu Su.

But Wusu started rolling around on the sofa!

"Give me back the remote!"

"I'm still a child, what's wrong with watching TV!"

"..."

Chen Ji clenched his fist. He noticed that since Wu Su came to stay at Du Tingfeng's house, his originally slightly aloof and somewhat ghostly demeanor had changed.

Wusu seems to be becoming more and more like an ordinary child.

besides......

We can't let him play with the pen anymore.

Seeing that Chen Ji wouldn't fall for his tantrums, Wu Su stopped what he was doing and seemed to be thinking about something.

"I'll trade you what I just saw for another hour of TV."

He suddenly spoke.

Chen Ji's eyes flashed, and he sat down next to Wu Su.

He didn't press further about what Wusu had "seen" again, but thought for a moment before asking:

"Before I entered the domain last time..."

Has the scene you described changed?

Usu shook his head.

"No, it's still on the highway."

Chen Ji then asked:

"Is the information you saw this time also related to Chen Yuetan?"

Wusu hesitated for a moment, tilted his head and thought about it, then shook his head.

"Is it related to me?"

Wu Su rolled his eyes, and was about to nod when he saw Chen Ji across from him with an expression that said, "I know everything."

He instantly deflated, realizing his lie had been exposed.

five minutes later.

After settling Wusu in, Chen Ji returned to his room, feeling a rare sense of relaxation.

He finally left the domain and confirmed with Wusu that the content of their previous conversation remained unchanged.

Just before entering the domain, Wusu had told Chen Ji about a "vision".

This "scene" is different from the previous ones; it doesn't belong to the past, nor to the present.

But in the very near future.

This "scene" is crucial to Chen Ji's subsequent plans.

As for the sounds I heard in the Yuhe River before, they seem increasingly unreal now, as if they were just an illusion.

Chen Ji couldn't find any other explanation for the time being, so he could only believe what the pen said.

[Auditory hallucinations are a side effect of not watching.]

Pulling himself out of his thoughts, Chen Ji opened his phone, where he saw more than a dozen unread WeChat messages.

Ten of the messages were sent by Xu Sandao, and a few others were from the "Zoo" group.

[AAA Car Rental Lao Zuo: The website is fixed.]

[AAA Car Rental & Charter Lao Zuo: Lots of useful information inside. (Smiles)]

It also included a link.

[Extremely: Received (thumbs up) (handshake)]

After pressing send, Chen Ji opened the website interface.

The post by "Supervisor Little Squirrel" is no longer a mystery to Chen Ji.

The "[百***]" in the title refers to a department store.

Chen Ji also browsed through the previous post by Little Squirrel about the "strange creature" that he couldn't click on.

[Criteria for Determining the Level of Mysterious Items - Original Content, Do Not Plagiarize]

This post is similar to what Xu Sandao said, and even the way the strange creatures are classified is the same as "Company" in that they are arranged in B, C, D, E.

Chen Ji raised his eyebrows and gestured over the last sentence:

The level of a strange creature is determined by a combination of its abilities and the intensity of its side effects.

Some of these monsters have decent abilities, but they're mostly useless and rarely reach a high level.

This is almost exactly the same as the comment on the "Company" form!

"They manipulate public opinion and steal other people's research results."

Chen Ji sighed with regret. He had already personally experienced the domineering style of the "company".

However, one thing in this post caught Chen Ji's attention.

The differences between Class A and higher level monsters

The little squirrel devoted a lot of space to describing other levels of strange creatures, and even introduced a lot of different kinds of strange creatures.

However, for Grade A, it simply wrote two sentences:

[The ability is abstract, rare, and cannot be described in detail.]

[Possessing the ability to change the objective world.]

These two sentences made Chen Ji's mind race with all sorts of speculations.

"...the ability to change the objective world."

This is very similar to what Xu Sandao once mentioned: "The Netherworld is like a dream, but you set the rules of this dream."

The Netherworld can be used in the real world.

This might explain why only A-grade monsters can open the Netherworld.

Chen Ji thought for a moment and took a screenshot of the interface.

He returned to WeChat and opened his chat with Xu Sandao.

The last unread message was a call for Chen Ji to contact him after leaving the domain.

Chen Ji turned over, his thoughts churning, and had already replied to the message.

[Extreme: It's out]

.......

A building in Yanjing City.

In the pitch-black night, not a single ray of light emanated from this building.

But inside, the lights were on.

The residents in this area all know about this uniquely designed building...

It belongs to [Tongmeng Toys Import Company].

"Ugh, more overtime."

Xu Sandao sat at his desk, his dark red hair disheveled, and yawned boredly.

His desk was covered with numerous documents, and a cup of black coffee that shouldn't be there at 9 p.m.

In the corridor, Xu Sandao was clearly not the only one working overtime.

People kept walking back and forth, looking hurried.

There were even more than a dozen employees in security uniforms, looking tense, moving through the crowd, just to escort a metal box.

"Da la la—"

A specially configured notification sound suddenly rang out.

It's Chen Ji's WeChat message.

[Extreme: It's out]

Xu Sandao sat up straight immediately, took a sip of coffee, and quickly replied:

Was this domain game fun?

[Extreme: Almost died]

[Extremely: Does she know?]

Xu Sandao glanced at the large office across the corridor, a slight smile playing on his lips:

【Soon】

However, the information I released was very limited.

[Just say that person might be you]

He had barely sent those words when he heard Yun Yuan knock on the door.

"Third brother."

Yun Yuan said hesitantly, "Sister Qin... wants to see you."

"OK."

Xu Sandao nodded, got up and walked towards the large office across the street.

Beside the door, Yun Yuan pursed her lips, her voice sounding very worried:

She seems... a little angry.

"fine."

Xu Sandao patted Yun Yuan on the shoulder, his expression as calm and composed as ever.

A hint of interest flashed in his eyes. He sent the last message and then turned off the screen.

[Xu Sandao: The fish has taken the bait.]
