Thriller Zone: From the Mental Hospital to the Ghostly World

Zheng Jinming was sweating profusely. Now he understood that he had been tricked by Chen Ji!

This little rascal never intended to take the sharpest pickaxe; he was just pretending to be in such a hurry so that Zheng Jinming wouldn't have time to check!

So, who does this pickaxe with the character "Liu" on it actually belong to?

The pickaxe is very new.

There are almost no signs of wear.

According to the information Zheng Jinming gathered, Liu Er had only been working at the mine for a month, so...

The answer is self-evident.

Zheng Jinming suddenly felt a weight on his body, as if he had been connected to something invisibly.

At that very moment, a faint voice, like a chilling breeze, swept past his ears.

Only Zheng Jinming could hear it:

"Good brothers, back to back."

"Come down to the mine with me, and I'll teach you how to mine coal."

Zheng Jinming turned his head in horror, only to see Liu Yunfeng's back.

Liu Yunfeng picked up the largest pickaxe, which was covered in blood, and used it to chisel six small holes in the coal face.

The distance between them is not far, but the further you go, the narrower and lower the alley becomes.

In other words, by the end, the diggers could no longer stand upright and had to dig coal sideways or even lying down.

"One person, one zone".

Liu Yunfeng said woodenly.

"Dig out my brother."

"..." Chen Ji immediately realized that something was wrong.

The straight-line distance between the six points must be several meters. Liu Er isn't a giant, so how could his corpse be that long?

Moreover, their heights vary.

He immediately looked at Xu Sandao and pointed to his head, torso, and feet in succession, implying:

Inside were dismembered body parts!

Liu Yunfeng's goal may have been to assemble the body parts together.

Xu Sandao received Chen Ji's signal, but his expression remained solemn.

Is it really that simple?

Now that things have come to this, there is no other way.

Following Liu Yunfeng's instructions, the excavation points, from front to back, were as follows:

Pan, Chen Ji, Xu Sandao, Xiao Fei, Zheng, Lao Yang.

Unfortunately, Lao Yang was assigned to the narrowest area.

"fine."

Seeing Chen Ji's worried face, Lao Yang opened his mouth, but said silently.

He took a deep breath and chose to trust his experience.

However, the order in which the excavation began was the opposite of the previous order, and Lady Luck still did not favor Lao Yang.

Lao Yang not only had to dig coal while lying on his side, but he was also the first to do so.

Because the passage was too narrow, Lao Yang had to take off his helmet and squeeze into the space that was less than a meter wide.

The dark coal seams all around him were pressing tightly against his body. If he wasn't careful, his head would hit the rocks. The air inside was even more stifling, making it hard for Lao Yang to breathe!

"I can't die..."

He murmured to himself, feeling a wave of dizziness wash over him. Lili's gentle figure flashed through his mind, gradually melting into a vortex.

At the deepest part of the vortex were the innocent faces of two children, calling out, "Daddy!"

"Wait until I take you out..."

"wait for me."

Deng!

The pick made a loud noise as it struck the coal face!

Countless coal dusts flew in the air. Lao Yang gritted his teeth and swung his iron pickaxe with all his might. His body was covered in mud as if he had been drenched in rain. Sweat mixed with coal dust turned into black stains!

I don’t know how long it took.

In the endless darkness before my eyes, a glimmer of white finally appeared.

Pale white.

Old Yang was like he'd been injected with adrenaline, he didn't stop for a moment, and his speed kept increasing!

"One foot!"

He shouted and pulled the right foot out.

It feels just like Lao Yang's own feet; the heels are very rough.

Liu Yunfeng walked over, glanced at the dug-out right foot, and signaled to Lao Yang that he could leave.

Old Yang breathed a heavy sigh of relief!

Only then did he realize that his arm was so sore that he could not lift it.

Chen Ji and Xu Sandao carried Lao Yang out.

Next up is Zheng Jinming.

His position is alright, but his mental fortitude is much weaker than Lao Yang's.

At this moment, Zheng Jinming's heart was pounding, all because of the iron pickaxe in his hand!

That pickaxe that belonged to Liu Er!

Moreover, Zheng Jinming always felt something was off, as if there was a thread wrapped around his body, but he didn't know where the other end had gone.

He found out the answer a minute later.

It's Liu Yunfeng!

Everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

Liu Yunfeng sat down behind Zheng Jinming.

The two stood back to back, like good brothers, or even closer.

Zheng Jinming's hands trembled uncontrollably, and his head was so stiff that he was frozen in place, not daring to move at all!

Liu Yunfeng's head is upside down.

Back to back, but... their faces were pressed against Zheng Jinming's.

This is Liu Yunfeng's "preferential treatment" towards those who used his brother's pickaxe.

A weak, feeble sound of coal being shoveled rang out...

Zheng Jinming was almost going crazy, but he couldn't show it because he had witnessed firsthand how the passing coal miners died!

It was because I was so scared that I screamed!

Time stretched out so long—

A second felt like a minute to Zheng Jinming.

He didn't know how much time had passed, he just numbly dug and dug, hoping that Liu Er's body would appear.

at last.

The sound of the pickaxe stopped.

All eyes immediately turned to Zheng Jinming!

Chen Ji's gaze sharpened, and he immediately noticed something was wrong.

On Zheng Jinming's shoulder, two heads stared straight into the depths of the coal seam, without making any movement.

After a long silence, Zheng Jinming murmured:

"How... is that possible?"

His voice sounded dreamlike and indistinct.

Liu Yunfeng stood up without giving any instructions.

Zheng Jinming remained kneeling in the same spot.

Immediately afterwards——

Without any warning, he suddenly ripped open his clothes, revealing a large expanse of his chest.

It also has a very crudely drawn Guan Gong character tattooed on it.

Pan Yin had been craning his neck to see what was wrong with Zheng Jinming, but when he saw the other party's next move, he felt a chill run down his spine and explode in every part of his body!

Xiao Fei's eyes widened suddenly, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying!

Zheng Jinming chose the sharpest pickaxe.

He made the wrong choice... but he also made the right one.

Otherwise, no one could bear the feeling of a dull pickaxe digging away flesh, one stroke at a time.

Everyone took a step back and watched as Zheng Jinming swung his hand up and down, scraping off the skin from his entire chest and abdomen with a single pickaxe!

The leather with the image of Guan Yu tattooed on it flew to Pan Yin's side.

Red face, long eyebrows, eyes wide open in anger.

In an instant, Pan Yin felt dizzy and began to hallucinate. In his daze, he saw not human skin, but the statue of Guan Gong that he and Zheng Jinming had worshipped before killing "Dianzi" last time!

Once the skin is gone, the flesh will soon disappear as well.

Next, they pried open the skeleton and dug out the lungs and liver.

Throughout the entire process, Liu Yunfeng made no move.

Only when Zheng Jinming collapsed to the side, his blood flowing to its feet, did it say:

"next."

[Note: Tattoos of Guan Yu with open eyes are generally avoided, as it is believed that open eyes will draw blood.]
