Thriller Zone: From the Mental Hospital to the Ghostly World

Chapter Two will be released at 7 PM tonight; the transition will be gradual.

The mud doll had been swallowed up, leaving only the three of them inside!

That unsettling gaze...

And where did it come from?

Just then, Chen Ji suddenly looked at the deep red walls around him.

"uncle....."

He said somewhat uncertainly, took a few steps forward, and bent down to examine it carefully.

The next second, Chen Ji was certain that he hadn't misread it.

"The walls of the main hall also have problems."

The color of the wall is slowly brightening, changing from dark red to blood red!

At the same time, the wall seemed to come alive, slowly undulating, with bubbles occasionally popping up and then bursting.

It is also full of potholes.

Just as Chen Yuetan was about to walk over to take a look, he suddenly turned around abruptly!

Swah——

Suddenly, a gray-white tombstone fell out of thin air from the ceiling and crashed down on the spot where he had just been standing!

Bang!

There was a loud bang.

Dust was kicked up everywhere.

All of this happened almost instantly.

If Chen Yuetan hadn't dodged in time, his head would have been smashed into a pulp by now.

Chen Ji reacted extremely quickly; his uncle had already been attacked, and he was next!

He lunged forward, and the next second, the same stone tablet crashed to the ground.

Don't stand still!

Chen Yuetan immediately shouted, realizing that the stone tablet would randomly appear above their heads and fall without any warning!

As they were talking, another stone tablet fell to the ground, but Chen Yuetan dodged it.

Urumqi remains unaffected.

the other side.

Chen Ji frantically circled around the main hall, changing his position every now and then.

But he also knew that this was not a long-term solution.

Because the stone tablets will not disappear, but will only increase in number, making it more difficult for them to hide and gradually slowing down their escape speed.

Finally, they were trapped among the stone tablets and crushed to death.

"Go to the tunnel!"

Chen Yuetan also realized this problem. Although he wanted to explore the area further, he could only hide in the tunnel now.

But as they approached the offering table, the stone tablet above their heads suddenly accelerated its descent!

They even smashed half of the offering table.

“…”

Chen Ji and the other man exchanged a quick glance, their eyes flashing with the same worry.

At this rate, the stone tablet is very likely to block the tunnel entrance.

But they had no time to move the stone tablet. If they stayed in one place for too long, they would inevitably face annihilation.

Chen Ji's mind raced.

This great hall is too vast; there's no escaping it no matter where you are.

Not to mention, the eerie gaze that was constantly fixed on them...

Is there any connection between these two things?

If it's seen... can the stone tablet pinpoint its location and then fall?

Suddenly struck by a thought, Chen Ji looked up and immediately gazed at the prayer flags.

He couldn't pinpoint the source of the gaze.

Therefore, the best hiding place is one that is sheltered from all sides.

There are only two places that meet this condition.

1. Under the tablecloth of the offering table.

But the creature manipulating the stone tablet has gone mad for some reason; once it gets close to the offering table, the stone tablet will accelerate its fall.

Another location....

Usu had been hidden there before.

Behind the prayer flags.

The back of the building is against a wall, and the sides and front are completely blocked.

"Uncle, hide behind the prayer flags!"

Chen Ji let out a low shout, his body suddenly quickened, and in the blink of an eye he lifted the curtain, feeling the sensation of being spied on suddenly disappear.

However, he still weaved behind the banners to prevent himself from making a mistake.

A dozen seconds later, Chen Yuetan, carrying Wusu, also crawled in.

Chen Ji had already stopped moving, and the fact that the stone tablet did not fall here proved that his guess was correct.

No goal....

The continuous sounds of falling outside finally ceased.

They found a safe zone for the time being.

"There are indeed only the three of us here."

Chen Yuetan looked around and said softly.

After all, this place is only so big, and it has already been confirmed that there are no hidden doors.

The source of that prying gaze remains a mystery.

All we know is that it was related to the sudden fall of the stone tablet.

Even Chen Yuetan checked the ceiling and floor, confirming that there was no difference from before.

The only anomaly was in the walls.

"Is it possible that there's someone in the middle of this wall?" Chen Ji pondered.

The walls had become like flesh and blood, soft, slippery, and emitting a foul stench.

"Not very likely."

Chen Yuetan shook his head.

"Leaving aside how he saw us through the wall, I can confirm that there are absolutely no gaps between the walls."

Because the width of the interior and exterior of the main hall is very close.

"Sight, eyes..."

He thought for a while, then suddenly looked at the banner in front of him, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"Sight, eyes..."

A few seconds later, he turned to look at Chen Ji and asked:

Do you remember that painting in the cellar?

Chen Ji thought for a moment, then tentatively asked:

"You mean that blood moon?"

Most of the paintings in the cellar were scratched, but among the few that remained intact, one left the deepest impression on Chen Ji.

Two eyeballs are embedded in the crimson crescent moon.

"Think again."

Chen Yuetan did not directly deny it, but said, "It is that painting, but not the moon."

It's not the moon...

Chen Ji was taken aback.

The eyes above are likely related to the gaze that has been watching them.

If we understand it this way...

Therefore, the blood moon is equivalent to the main hall, because the line of sight only appears within the main hall.

Red, hook-shaped... what else could this image be but the moon?

"..."

Chen Ji narrowed his eyes.

The image of the tombstone from earlier flashed through my mind; it was rectangular and grayish-white.

And...the four walls.

The walls of the main hall had turned into blood-red soft flesh, glistening with moisture, and smelled foul.

"It's a mouth, and it contains two eyes!"

"The tombstone is like the teeth of the main hall!"

Chen Ji looked up at Chen Yuetan, a glint of light flashing in his eyes: "If the main hall is the mouth, then the changes in the cellar can also be explained; it's the stomach!"

The temple itself is a ghost!

This is the layout of the entire temple.

The main hall is located above, connected to the cellar below by a tunnel.

The tunnel is the throat.

The cellar is the stomach.

The cellar's sticky, grooved walls undulated gently, making a gurgling sound.

Then, it sprayed out a highly acidic viscous liquid.

All of this confirms Chen Ji's guess.

"Correct."

Chen Yuetan nodded.

He continued to stare intently at the banner, as if waiting for something.

After a moment, he straightened up.

"And those two eyes."

Chen Yuetan smiled and pointed to the banner, saying, "It's getting dark outside."

really.

Through the prayer flags, the previous dim white light seemed to have disappeared.

"Those two paper lanterns are the eyes."

Chen Ji suddenly realized!

He suddenly remembered the two paper lanterns on the ceiling when he first entered the temple; they were black!

After they returned to the main hall... they turned white!

Even after the clay doll died, it never turned back!

Chen Yuetan explained softly:

"Ink represents closure, white represents openness."

"We were already 'seen' long ago."

"However, the mud doll was still alive at that time, so there was no need to put down the stone tablet."

Knowing this, they were not far from finding the tomb entrance.
