Thriller Zone: From the Mental Hospital to the Ghostly World

not long ago.

After "Time Reversal" was activated, in the left lateral ventricle.

The stone door was closed.

Outside the passage, hurried footsteps could be faintly heard, but Chen Yuetan had no time to pay attention to them.

The two, one person and one child, see the same scene in sync.

Chen Yuetan's entire attention was focused on the next few seconds!

Because he knew that if he ignored even the slightest detail, he would face death!

Having narrowly escaped a deadly attack from the demon, Chen Yuetan's calf muscles tensed, and without a second's hesitation, he darted out through a small door in the corner!

The only way to survive is outside this side room!

Bang!Bang!Bang!

A series of angry roars and the sound of hammers pounding on the wall echoed behind Chen Yuetan.

Having failed to kill Chen Yuetan several times, the wrathful ghost's patience had been pushed to the limit.

Chen Yuetan's expression remained as calm as ever.

In a short time, he had figured out the layout behind the side chamber. It was like a maze with winding passages.

He soon arrived at the open space at the end of the passage.

Ahead...

Chen Yuetan's heart skipped a beat for a second.

He turned his head, not intending to flee forward for the time being, but instead observing his surroundings.

The footsteps behind me were getting closer.

Chen Yuetan stared at the ever-burning lamp on the stone wall, his eyes slightly narrowed.

Beneath the lampstand, there is a brick that is slightly recessed.

It's hard to tell without a close look.

After a few breaths...

The angry ghost, breathing heavily, stepped into the open space.

There is no one here.

Like a magician, the man who was like an ant to it, yet always managed to evade its attacks...

They disappeared on the spot.

.....

Chen Yuetan listened to the sounds coming from outside the secret room.

Unable to find anyone, the wrathful ghost, powerless and enraged, frantically vented its anger.

He smiled subtly, turned his head, and raised the flashlight.

The scene before him made Chen Yuetan seem thoughtful.

This place... is less of a secret room and more of a hidden "exhibition room".

Several mummified corpses were placed against the wall.

Judging from their clothing, some were from the Republic of China era, while others were from the royal family.

Chen Yuetan noticed that, in both of these teams, the bodies showed signs of being deliberately harmed.

At the same time, the bodies of these people were extremely shriveled, with sunken cheeks and no flesh or blood.

Based on the condition of the corpses, Chen Yuetan concluded that their bodies had been drained of energy before they died.

He touched the faces of the corpses and found that on the faces of each corpse, or near the eyes or ears, there were dry scabs.

It's like the feeling of touching a wall after snot has dried.

Withdrawing his hand, Chen Yuetan looked around and saw the same mark on the ceiling.

He thought of the greedy ghosts crawling on the ceiling, leaving sticky, slippery watermarks in their wake, and suddenly understood.

here.....

It is a place where greedy ghosts hide their spoils.

Judging from this, it must have emerged from its cocoon a hundred years ago.

However, there are still marks inside the cocoon, which proves that even though the three ghosts have successfully hatched, they spend most of their time dormant inside the cocoon and only awaken after a person enters the tomb.

Chen Yuetan reviewed the corrupt official's behavior.

The previous team also encountered these three ghosts.

The greedy ghost spreads the hair strands, and Chen Ji mentioned that hair strands can invade the human brain and control behavior.

This could explain the knife marks on the corpses indicating cannibalism.

Afterwards, the greedy demon hid these people in a secret room and used their hair to drain their bodies dry, replenishing its own nutrients.

The bodies that were left behind were treated as "exhibits" and kept as souvenirs.

certainly.....

All of this was done behind the back of the wrathful demon.

After all, the wrathful demon has no hair and can kill humans directly, and it clearly doesn't know there's a secret room here.

"A greedy devil, indeed greedy..."

Chen Yuetan muttered to himself silently.

A thought stirred within him, and a plan took shape.

He listened intently to the sounds outside, only to hear the angry ghost, which had already gone far away, return once more.

There was also a wet, pattering sound coming from above; it was the greedy ghost.

Judging from the sound, the two ghosts went forward.

Chen Yuetan waited a few seconds, then led Wusu out of the secret room.

Without a second's hesitation, he returned the way he came and headed towards the right ventricular chamber.

.....

Beside the rotten flesh of the madman.

"That's about it."

Chen Yuetan quickly recounted his previous experience.

"A locked room..."

Chen Ji murmured, it seems he guessed right, each ghost is controlled by its own characteristics.

This is precisely why there has long been a hidden conflict between the two demons of greed and anger, but it has not yet erupted.

This is the breakthrough point.

Therefore, my uncle's plan should be similar to my own.

It's also a tactic to sow discord.

He saw Wusu's throat move, then his mouth slightly open, and his tongue sticking out, on which was a small paper figure.

"I don't need your pen."

Chen Yuetan glanced at the paper figure: "Its skills are very strong. Save them for a crucial moment. My strange creatures are enough."

With the second star lit up, the fountain pen can now be used in real life.

However, after use, it will enter a 24-hour dormant period.

“The anger ghost’s rationality is almost zero. If you discover that you have escaped, and then provoke it further, it will definitely become furious with the greed ghost.”

“When two tigers fight, one will surely be injured,” Chen Yuetan said, taking the knife out of his pocket and placing it on his arm.

"After that, no matter who survives..."

Chen Yuetan's gaze fell on the rotting flesh in the corner. He also noticed that the other two ghosts did not step into the mad ghost's side chamber, as if they were somewhat wary.

"Let this outsider handle it."

The mad ghost stared blankly at the little monkey, its soft flesh splitting off piece by piece, slowly wriggling on the ground.

Wusu squatted on the ground and picked up a piece of meat with some disgust, but the mad ghost did not react at all, as if it regarded Wusu as a ghost as well.

Under Chen Ji's shocked gaze, Chen Yuetan slightly lowered the knife in his hand, his brows furrowing.

He dug out a small piece of skin, still covered in blood.

It was split in two.

Chen Yuetan's hands didn't stop; he tossed the skin to Chen Ji and then took out a bandage to bandage it.

On the other side, the paper figure in Wusu's mouth was suddenly spat out onto the ground.

Soon, facial features slowly appeared on the plain white paper, and the figure gradually became fuller...

Until he was fully upright.

He looks exactly like Chen Yuetan.

"Paper doll substitute." Chen Yuetan directed the paper doll to move: "It can impersonate me for 20 minutes."
