Thriller Zone: From the Mental Hospital to the Ghostly World

The group stepped inside.

Once inside, the door vanished abruptly behind them, leaving only a bare wall.

This is an ancient-style side room, beautifully decorated.

However, all the furniture was covered with a thick layer of dust.

"This is the door."

Chen Yuetan suddenly spoke.

He walked to the corner of the room and picked up a piece of yellow wrapping paper from the ground.

The wrapping paper was crumpled and wrinkled, with several large military green characters printed on the outside:

"761 Compressed Dry Rations..."

Chen Yuetan said softly.

"These are military-grade compressed biscuits, developed after the 70s."

It's the garbage left behind by the Wang family's team.

This is what Wusu meant by "the path that predecessors have walked".

"This room is enclosed..."

Chen Ji frowned.

The side room was just an ordinary side room, with a bed and a table; it didn't look like a tomb at all.

There are no doors or windows.

They searched the room briefly, and finally their gaze fell on the wooden bed.

A bright red gauze curtain hung outside the bed. When they lifted the curtain, they discovered a recessed space on the wall inside the bed.

However, it is very small.

It is about 1.3 to 1.4 meters long.

There was a small bed that fit perfectly in the space, seemingly made for a child, covered with a bright red blanket that hadn't rotted over the years.

Before Chen Yuetan could examine it carefully, he heard Chen Ji beside him exclaim in a panic, "Hey!"

Chen Yuetan's eyes narrowed, and he immediately reached out to grab Wusu, but he failed to pull him back!

Wusu quickly darted onto the small bed.

His body shape was a perfect fit for this small bed!

Nothing happened.

Wusu lay on the bed, as if searching for something, her hands groping around on the bed.

Chen Yuetan's heart stirred.

He walked onto the large bed, squatted down with some difficulty, and began to examine the small bed on the wall with Chen Ji.

The two immediately noticed something was wrong.

"The bedding on top can't be lifted."

Chen Ji tugged at the blanket, but it didn't budge, as if it were welded to the bed board.

The same applies to pillows.

It's as if it's not meant for people to lie on, but just for decoration.

At this point, Chen Ji suddenly realized that the entire room was made up of models!

There are no doors or windows here, so it's impossible to get in or out!

No one has ever stayed here!

Chen Ji said thoughtfully:

"I feel this place is more like a 'porch'."

Its sole purpose is to provide access to the next entrance.

So where will the entrance be?

As he was pondering, Wusu suddenly stood up from his small bed, as if he had discovered something.

He tentatively stepped onto the bed twice, then confirmed his idea and began to jump vigorously on the bed!

"There's space below!"

Chen Yuetan was taken aback.

He and Chen Ji wanted to help Wu Su, but since they were both adult men, they had to hunch over to get into the small bed.

This is only suitable for shorter girls or children to jump here, otherwise it is difficult to exert force.

Otherwise, the only option is to use tools to smash it.

After jumping around about a dozen times...

A sound of wood planks moving was heard.

Chen Yuetan reacted quickly and grabbed Wu Su's hand. At the same moment, the bed board suddenly flipped over!

A dark, gaping crevice was revealed.

"Now! Jump!"

Chen Yuetan gave a low shout, protecting Wusu, curling up and rolling off the bed!

When the bed board reversed for the second time, Chen Ji rolled down as well.

His leg immediately slammed onto a cold stone slab and slid down the slab at its angle.

This is a steep slope sloping downwards!

Chen Ji couldn't help but think of the slide leading to the lower level in the Three Monkeys Domain.

A few seconds later, a light came from below, and Chen Yuetan turned on his flashlight.

Using their backpacks as cushion, the two didn't slide down very fast, and it took them two or three minutes to fall onto an open area.

Chen Ji's eyes suddenly froze.

His face was full of confusion.

Chen Yuetan, standing to the side, was also speechless for a moment, staring blankly at the surrounding walls...

What caught their eye was a graffiti.

It was painted with watercolors.

On the black stone bricks, white lines simply outline the shape of a mask.

A smiling face was casually drawn on the mask:

:)

"The king...they have also arrived here."

Chen Ji remained silent for a few seconds before awkwardly speaking.

For some reason, he gripped the ground with his toes when he saw the words beneath the graffiti.

[Wang Chao was here]

His handwriting was extremely unrestrained and unconventional.

Below that was a very small line of text, the handwriting trembling:

Zeng Guichuan visits Biyi

"Zeng Guichuan was absolutely forced to write it."

Even the characters were distorted; the scene was so absurd that Chen Ji couldn't help but laugh out loud.

For a moment, he hallucinated the tourists leaving their messages on the Great Wall bricks.

However, they finally learned Mr. Wang's real name.

"Wang Chao".

A name that's very unfamiliar.

Neither Chen Ji nor Chen Yuetan had any recollection of this name.

After noting down the name, Chen Ji silently followed Chen Yuetan forward, casually intercepting the pen that was trying to leave its mark and putting it back in his pocket.

"We're almost there."

Wusu poked his head out from Chen Yuetan's arms: "The tomb is just ahead."

The group walked through the passage and then through several side rooms, which were empty.

Chen Ji had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

It's a bit too... calm.

Why is there nothing here?

Outside the tomb, there was a Yin Temple, guarded by clay dolls. Just as you entered the tomb, you encountered the three demons of greed, anger, and ignorance.

How is it possible that we haven't encountered a single ghost after going deep into the tomb?

The ghost baby was too confident in its life, thinking no one could penetrate this place...

Or perhaps the ghosts here have already been cleaned up by those who came before?

Chen Ji's thoughts were suddenly interrupted.

He saw Chen Yuetan suddenly stop in his tracks.

Under the flashlight beam, a shiny object was visible on the ground.

It's a finger!

It was thick and short, and it wore a gold ring with yellow stains on the tips of its fingers from smoking.

Chen inevitably suspected that these were Zeng Guichuan's fingers.

How did his finger break off here?

Is there a ghost ahead?

Chen Ji's body tensed suddenly. He and his uncle exchanged a glance and cautiously walked forward.

One minute later...

Their pupils suddenly contracted.

The walls and floor were covered in black slime that had been splattered on them!

And in the middle of the mucus.....

A gigantic creature, larger than a demon and dressed in ancient clothing, lay sprawled on the ground.

Its distorted shape proved it was a ghost.

The body was still twitching slightly; it was not dead.

But it was headless.

Judging from the slime on the wall that clearly doesn't belong to humans, the ghost's head was lost later.

This attack method—

Why is it so familiar?

Chen Ji scanned his surroundings, his eyes suddenly narrowing.

A bubble that has existed for an unknown amount of time...

It drifted in from the darkness.

It glowed with a dreamy, soft light.
