Thriller Zone: From the Mental Hospital to the Ghostly World

In the chat group.

[Chen Ji: The Hair Ghost has appeared.]

Chen Ji: Lan Meng has temporarily restrained the ghost.

Chen Ji briefly recounted his experience, omitting many details.

[Sun Weiming: So what taboo did that person break?]

[Sun Weiming: Also, how were the ghosts restrained?]

Chen Ji: It's not clear yet.

[Chen Ji: The only thing I can be sure of right now is that I can't touch a strand of hair.]

[Wu Zhou: @Chen Ji, didn't you say you were spending all your time with that person?]

[Wu Zhou: Did you see when he touched his hair?]

Chen Ji: No.

[Wu Zhou: Really?]

[Wu Zhou: Why are you always here when someone dies? (wiping sweat)]

[Wu Zhou: Something's not right.]

"..."

Chen Ji calmly watched Wu Zhou provoke another fight, ignoring him.

A great Confucian scholar naturally refuted the classics for him.

[Six: Yes, yes, yes]

[Liu Zi: I've told you everything.]

[Liu Zi: Why does your mouth keep relieving itself everywhere?]

Chen Ji couldn't help but chuckle, then stopped looking at Wu Zhou's furious expression and pressed and held Wan Xiaoshuang's profile picture.

In their private chat, there were only Wan Xiaoshuang's messages.

Come to 11D.

Chen Ji put away his phone, thought for a moment, and walked towards the business class cabin.

After the plane stabilized, Lan Meng went to serve in the business class, but Qi Chen was nowhere to be found.

Phil is drawing in the suggestion book.

Chen Ji glanced around at the people in the economy class section, but didn't see any anger on anyone's face.

Wu Zhou is not here.

A queue had formed again in the aisle, and someone was complaining, "It's been five minutes, why haven't the people inside come out yet?"

"Died in the toilet?"

Chen Ji looked up and couldn't help but frown.

This is the second time... the bathroom has been used for an extended period of time.

The first time, when he intended to investigate the rear cabin's lavatory, it was the same.

Chen Ji glanced at his watch, put the matter aside for the time being, and lifted the curtain of the business class cabin.

He couldn't help but be startled.

Beside the spacious seats in front, Lan Meng was leaning over, talking to a woman with an ethereal air, dressed in a white suit.

Qi Chen and Liu Zi were also present.

These are three crew members!

Liu Zi leaned to one side, a mocking smile on his face, his fingers flying across the phone so fast that Chen Ji couldn't even see them.

Qi Chen stood beside him, his face filled with shock.

The woman in white stood up from her seat.

"Chen Ji".

The woman smiled slightly and extended her hand. "I am Wan Xiaoshuang."

"Are you a crew member?" Chen Ji asked directly.

He was somewhat unsure of what the woman's intentions were.

"No."

"However, I am not just a passenger."

What else could it be?

Chen Ji's eyes suddenly flashed: "When you entered the domain, did you wake up beforehand?"

Wan Xiaoshuang nodded in surprise.

"All crew members are?"

Chen Ji asked again, looking at the other three.

“No.” Wan Xiaoshuang waved her hand: “When I woke up, there was an announcement that meals would be distributed soon.”

Chen Ji did not hear the broadcast.

“Only Miss Wan and I heard it,” Qi Chen interjected from the side.

Qi Chen is an air marshal and has special equipment...

Chen Ji looked at Wan Xiaoshuang: "What happened after you woke up?"

“It was before I woke up,” Wan Xiaoshuang corrected.

"When I was conscious, I felt my body was being restrained, but a voice appeared in my brain."

"I couldn't tell if it was male or female, but it said... it wanted to make a deal with me."

"It said that, with the Domain River as witness, if I am the only one to survive in this domain, it will offer a reward that I cannot refuse."

As soon as Wan Xiaoshuang spoke, everyone present showed a hint of surprise!

Chen Ji didn't react, but he pondered for a moment.

Who proposed the deal?

That tone is somewhat like Gui Su's...

"It's the Ghostly Constellation!"

Lan Meng said with certainty, "I saw it on a forum. It said that the 28 giant statues on the Domain River, called Gui Su, will reward powerful entrants to the Domain!"

Chen Ji and Liu Zi exchanged a silent glance, neither of them speaking.

Chen Ji did not think it was a ghostly constellation.

Because neither "Zhen Shui Yin" nor the other ghosts around him have ever directly interfered in the missions within the domain.

Chen Ji could vaguely sense that these mysterious colossi possessed a trace of divinity...

Even during the evolution of the imprint, they were extremely sparing with words.

They only screen, not train, let alone guide or trade.

"No, that's not it." Wan Xiaoshuang smiled.

She did not explain how she determined that.

"The key point is... I suspect I'm not the only one who received this offer."

Wan Xiaoshuang pondered for a moment, then swiped open her phone: "I think everyone knows how Zhang Peng died, right?"

Chen Ji nodded.

The only thing he was unsure about before was the perpetrator's motive, but now Wan Xiaoshuang's words have provided a reasonable explanation.

but.....

"Wan Xiaoshuang".

Chen Ji interrupted her: "Have you accepted this deal?"

Qi Chen stood to the side, silently putting his hands into his pockets.

"If I had accepted it, why would I have told you?"

Wan Xiaoshuang smiled and shook her head, holding up two fingers.

"First of all, I lack nothing."

"Will it prevent me from entering the domain again? I think that's unlikely."

"Assuming it can really do that, I'd be even less willing to accept it, because it's completely disproportionate to what I've paid for."

"Apart from not entering the domain, I don't need anything else it can offer me."

Wan Xiaoshuang paused for a moment, then continued:

"The second point..."

"It's a very simple principle."

"Nonsense is not to be believed."

Chen Ji smiled slightly.

This is what he thinks too.

The one offering this deal is very likely a ghost!

Because its demands are full of malice, who can guarantee that all those who enter the domain will die?

This isn't even the 9th domain yet, so the ghost isn't necessarily unsolvable. The domain will inevitably exert a corresponding balance, and Qi Chen's item is an example of that.

Moreover, the most crucial question is: since all the entrants to the domain are dead, who benefits?

The answer is self-evident.

Lan Meng suddenly said from the side, "Then why did you tell us?"

"Aren't you worried that one of us might accept this invitation?"

Wan Xiaoshuang remained calm: "I have my own methods of judgment."

She cut to the chase and turned to another matter: "How do we deal with Wu Zhou?"

Lan Meng paused for a moment, then asked somewhat hesitantly, "Isn't there also Sun Weiming?"

Just now, Sun Weiming was speaking up for Wu Zhou in the group chat, and he and Liu Zi were locked in a fierce battle.

"Sun Weiming?"

Wan Xiaoshuang chuckled and said, "That's true, he did commit a crime."

He committed the sin of 'foolishness'.

"Foolish?"

Lan Meng was even more confused.

Chen Ji's heart skipped a beat: "Then... Wu Zhou is 'Greed'?"

Wan Xiaoshuang said, "Perhaps."

Chen Ji seemed to be deep in thought.

Domain guidance...

Greed, anger, and ignorance.

Greed corresponds to the "irresistible reward" in this invitation.

The term "痴" corresponds to an entrant who is unable to distinguish right from wrong and is easily swayed by instigation.

What about anger?

Perhaps the meaning of these three words... is not so simple.
