Thriller Zone: From the Mental Hospital to the Ghostly World

Chen Ji clung tightly to the beam, less than a meter away from Du Tingfeng.

The two dared not move, their breathing so soft it seemed they were about to stop!

Right beneath their feet, the charred corpse's head was tilted back, staring blankly upwards.

His nose had completely melted away, leaving only two holes that were frantically twitching, trying to find where the person who had just jumped out was.

Just then, Chen Ji suddenly felt that the iron beam beneath him seemed unable to bear the weight of the two people and pressed down slightly.

creak-

A very faint, unusual noise came from the weld between the iron beam and the wall.

It was like a muffled thunderclap that exploded inside the room!

Chen Ji's mind went blank. Without a second to think, the moment the burning ghost below moved, his body moved as well!

Du Tingfeng and he didn't exchange any words, but the two seemed to be in sync, frantically crawling forward!

The target is the skylight, which is two or three meters ahead.

In the cramped equipment room, the iron pipes clanged and rattled from being struck.

The charred corpse moved with astonishing speed, leaping onto the wall like a gecko and reaching the spot where the sound had come from in just a few steps.

He didn't care whether there were people up there or not, and slammed his hammer down on the iron beam, smashing a deep dent into the hard iron pillar!

The charred skin on the corpse's hand was scattered and flew everywhere by his punch, even splashing onto Chen Ji's face.

The next second, the corpse was attracted by the sound of the two climbing, and it lay tightly on the iron beam, lunging towards Chen Ji!

Du Tingfeng had already opened the blackened window and squeezed out with all his might, only to fall to the ground outside with a thud.

Chen Ji gritted his teeth; he could feel the hot air emanating from the charred corpses behind him.

The rising temperature also meant the body was getting closer.

He suddenly lunged forward with both arms, grabbed the windowsill, and slipped out of the window like a silky eel.

But just then, the charred corpse followed him and climbed to the windowsill!

Chen Ji's hand was burned and blistered as soon as it touched the corpse's skin, and the skin was cracking.

All of this happened in just ten seconds. Chen Ji immediately withdrew his hand, grabbed the wall next to him, and half of his body was hanging in the air.

At the same time, with his other intact hand, he slammed the window shut and broke the lock next to it!

After doing all this, he let go and fell to the ground.

Du Tingfeng was already waiting downstairs. He helped Chen Ji up and looked up.

Through the narrow skylight, the charred, blackened face of the corpse was pressed tightly against the glass.

Even without his eyeballs, the two could still see intense resentment in his expression.

Chen Ji leaned against the wall and took a deep breath:

"If we had been any slower, we would have been scalded to death by the heat around him."

After saying that, he spread out his hand to show Du Tingfeng the wound on his hand.

The skin and flesh there were torn open, and the ruptured skin had turned black, caused by being roasted by the intense heat in an instant.

Du Tingfeng was still shaken; the cold sweat on his back hadn't dried completely, and the wind made him feel even colder.

“Damn it…”

He didn't continue, looking somewhat annoyed.

Chen Ji knew he was referring to the burly man.

"He should be on the rooftop by now."

Chen Ji looked towards the teaching building. It should have been morning reading time, but it was eerily quiet.

"Before we go back to the teaching building, there's one more place we need to go,"

He turned his head and stared westward, where the dormitory building was located:

"There's something in the dormitory manager's room that we absolutely need to get."

"Room check form!"

Du Tingfeng was taken aback when he saw Chen Ji take out a third diary from his pocket and point to a sentence on it:

I didn't go back to my dorm last night.

He immediately understood what Chen Ji meant. The dormitory supervisor would check the rooms every night, and anyone who did not return to the dormitory would be recorded.

"The owner of the diary has gone completely insane."

"She has lost her mind. Judging from the diary, she is probably the biggest evil spirit in the world."

If they don't find out her identity, they could very well bump into each other in the school building and be killed together without knowing why.

Time is of the essence, and we don't know what's going on in the teaching building, so we must get the dormitory check list out as soon as possible.

After analyzing the situation for a while, the two quickly decided on a strategy to get the booklet without even going into the dormitory building.

......

In the corridor, Wu Yan lowered her head and tightly gripped the hem of her clothes with both hands.

She walked past the quiet classrooms and stopped at the end of the corridor.

"Boom, boom, boom."

"Come in."

Wu Yan pushed open the door, walked to the table, and after a long while, she finally looked up.

Opposite her, the female teacher's harsh and sarcastic face had been completely distorted, her features upside down as if they had been churned up in a washing machine.

But Wu Yan didn't care at all.

Yesterday afternoon, Wu Yan accidentally saw Ding Xiang sneaking up to the rooftop.

She secretly followed them and overheard Chen Ji and his group's plan.

Wu Yan felt as if a thunderbolt had struck her heart!

How dare they steal the pen and secretly summon the Ouija board spirit?

She tossed and turned all night, the fear of being fired gradually filling her mind.

Her own whispers kept echoing in her ears.

She absolutely does not want to be fired!

If it's discovered, will the teacher think she was involved too?

No, no, she has to tell the teacher first, then she won't be punished...

Of course, Wu Yan had forgotten why she was afraid of being fired and why she went to inform on others.

Only one sentence remained in her heart, like a prohibition, etched deep in Wu Yan's subconscious.

As a student, one should act like a student.

In the office, Wu Yan's face was expressionless, her eyes unblinking.

She spoke mechanically, her voice high-pitched and thin; if anyone else were present, they would surely break out in a cold sweat.

That was almost exactly Meng Yue's voice!

"Teacher, I want to report this."

......

Dormitory building, first floor, outer side.

Chen Ji was crouching below the dormitory manager's room window, hidden by a group of bushes.

The window above him was slightly ajar, and the dormitory manager was sitting in front of the window writing materials.

A few meters away from him, behind a tree, Du Tingfeng held a hard stone in his hand, looking back and forth at the dormitory building.

Finally, he locked onto the second window on the left on the second floor.

In this way, the dormitory supervisor wouldn't be able to see the stone's trajectory directly, but she would be able to clearly detect the noise it made.

A few seconds later, the sound of shattering glass and the creaking of stones rolling on the floor could be heard.

The dormitory supervisor suddenly stood up, his eyes widening dramatically as he scanned the area outside the window.

But there was no one there.

As the sound of her high heels fading into the distance as she walked upstairs, Chen Ji slowly straightened up and peered into the room.

He had seen the booklet on the table yesterday, and now he found it easily.

After getting the room check form, he gave Du Tingfeng a wink, and the two quietly left the area.

"Holy shit, that's disgusting."

In the grove, Du Tingfeng picked up a corner of the dormitory inspection form, his face full of disgust.

The back of this booklet was covered with the stench of dead cockroaches; it was the very book Chen Ji had used to kill the bugs last night.

He suppressed his discomfort and opened the dormitory check form.

This booklet has many pages marked only with dates, the rest are blank.

On the few papers with names on them, there was also a note at the back that said "already reported".

"Let's look at number 28 directly," Chen Ji said softly.

Du Tingfeng quickly flipped through the pages until he reached the record for the 28th on the last few pages.

There is only one person's name above.

Du Tingfeng's eyes suddenly widened!

He felt a chill run down his spine and examined the booklet carefully several times before handing it to Chen Ji.

The two exchanged a glance, both reading the intense disbelief in each other's eyes...
