Thriller Zone: From the Mental Hospital to the Ghostly World

[Sorry everyone, I've been too busy today. I won't have time to write until tonight, so I'll post one chapter first.]

This was the first time Chang Hao had ever seen Li Fengxiu.

The only reason I could recognize her was because she was dressed like a bride-to-be.

The figure in the mirror gradually approached, its shape graceful and elegant, unlike the "distorted posture" that Du Tingfeng had described.

In retrospect, at most we can only say that the waist was twisted a bit too much.

Chang Hao narrowed his eyes.

He didn't believe Du Tingfeng was lying.

So... that's the problem.

Li Fengxiu's soul has definitely been replaced, and she is gradually adapting to this body!

Li Fengxiu's behavior was impeccable, but her walking posture was too seductive. Considering her age and status as a woman about to be married, this was somewhat illogical!

The new soul within her body was mimicking a woman's walk, but with excessive force.

Sure enough, Li Fengxiu entered Abu Ajian's house.

Chang Hao strained his ears to listen, but could only vaguely hear A-Jian muttering softly, his voice indistinct.

Damn it, wasn't he just being really loud a moment ago?!

I listened with difficulty for a while...

All that could be heard was Li Fengxiu's icy tone as she said that Abu was "possessed by a ghost" and that she was going to take him away to deal with it.

Ah Jian stopped talking.

Chang Hao understood that Ah Chui's "disappearance" was most likely "dealt with".

After a while, Li Fengxiu led Abu out. Abu's head was covered with a red cloth, leaving only his gray sheep body exposed.

It just followed Li Fengxiu silently and blankly.

What is the destination?

Li Residence?

......

Li Zhai.

"Where did Li Fengxiu go?" Chu Jing asked, quietly pushing open the door to the main room.

When Xiao Yan brought them back to the Li family, they happened to run into Li Fengxiu going out, and she even smiled and greeted Xiao Yan.

"I don't know, so we need to be quick."

Chen Ji glanced out the window and saw Du Tingfeng hiding by the gate of the Li residence, keeping watch for them.

His gaze returned to the room, and he frowned slightly.

The indoor and outdoor areas are completely different.

In the courtyard, bright red lanterns hung high; inside the house, white candles and paper money filled the mourning hall.

That's right.

A mourning hall has been set up in this main room!

The memorial tablets of Widow Li and Brother Li are enshrined there.

"Li Fengxiu slept here last night? Wasn't she scared?" Chu Jing looked around. Judging from the decorations inside, this place should have originally belonged to Widow Li.

"Of course she's not afraid."

Chen Ji said, "She has been replaced."

When he returned and bumped into Li Fengxiu, he noticed something was off about her.

The two men moved swiftly and carefully searched the main room, but apart from the two memorial tablets, they found no other clues.

At the same time, there is no trace of human habitation here.

There wasn't even a blanket on the bed.

The bed, table, and mourning hall were all covered with a layer of dust, but the windowsill was surprisingly clean!

"Could it be... that Li Fengxiu stood by the window all night last night?"

Chu Jing's tone was a little strange. She slowly leaned down, rested her elbows on the windowsill, and imitated Li Fengxiu's posture.

It's as if someone is gazing out the window, waiting for someone to arrive.

After searching for a while, the two moved to the east wing.

This is the location where the eldest brother of the Li family died.

The door was locked, and the window could only be pushed open a little, making it impossible for anyone to squeeze in; one could only peek through the crack.

Although the exterior walls of the house have been repainted, the interior has not been cleaned up. Both the walls and the furniture retain traces of fire damage.

But a corner of white cloth was faintly visible on the ground.

A perfectly clean white cloth, untouched by any charcoal ash.

This was added later.

Chen Ji's heart stirred slightly.

He slipped his phone through the crack in the window, slowly rotated it towards the ground, and recorded a one-minute video.

After taking it out, he and Chu Jing looked at it together.

The camera angle is a bit shaky...

From left to right.

Gradually, the white cloth bulged slightly.

Chu Jing's eyes suddenly narrowed, and she paused the video!

She pressed and held the screen, swiping through several frames before finally stopping at a blurry image.

In the far corner of the screen, a dark mass was peeking out from under the white cloth.

You have to zoom in on the screenshot to see clearly... that's a foot!

A foot that has been burned and deformed!

There were also scattered black charcoal residues on the ground nearby.

"Is Brother Li's body under the white sheet?"

Chen Ji immediately slid through the frames, and sure enough, the bulge on the white cloth was a human figure!

Even through the white cloth, you could see that Brother Li's body had been burned beyond recognition, with his limbs twisted.

"Hasn't Brother Li died several days ago?" Chu Jing asked in surprise, "The body has just been left here like this?"

On one hand, they're busy preparing for a happy occasion; on the other hand, their deceased family members haven't been buried...

Is it to avoid a taboo?

Chen Ji didn't speak, continuing to stare at the video.

The camera then focused on the white cloth.

53 seconds, 54 seconds...

Just as the video was about to end, Du Tingfeng suddenly coughed softly!

This means that Li Fengxiu appeared at the end of the alley!

Chen Ji was about to put his phone away when suddenly a chill ran through his entire body!

The last two seconds of the video.

The white cloth moved.

A dark, black hand silently reached out from inside...

Grab the edge of the white cloth.

The video ends at this scene.

This happened just one minute ago.

Just as Chen Jigang was reacting, a soft creaking sound of wood being pressed down reached his ears.

wood.....

The window frames are made of wood.

"Chen... Chen Ji!"

Chu Jing's extremely frightened voice rang out behind him!

"Quick, close the window!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Ji slammed the window shut!

But he still saw it.

Through the crack in the open window—

One eye was visible.

A bloodshot eye, embedded in a charred, blackened eye socket, stared intently at Chen Ji!

But the most terrifying thing is...

This eye is vertical.

This proves that... this half of the face is parallel to the windowsill.

Chen Ji felt a chill run down his spine. Just a minute ago, he and Chu Jing had been looking down at the video...

The corpse inside had already crawled out of the white cloth and was clinging to the bottom of the windowsill in an extremely contorted posture, watching them!

But now is not the time to think about this. The footsteps outside the door are getting closer and closer. Li Fengxiu is about to return!

The three of them quickly ran back to their side chamber.

A few seconds later, Li Fengxiu stepped into her home.

"She's carrying a covered basket... and seems to be in a good mood?"

Du Tingfeng said softly, watching from the window.

"She went around to the back of the side chamber... Hmm? There's a small door there?"

Li Fengxiu's figure disappeared behind the small door.

Du Tingfeng then turned around and looked at Chu Jing, whose face was pale, and Chen Ji beside her:

"what happened?"

Chen Ji paused for two seconds before speaking solemnly:

“There is a charred corpse in the east wing.”

"It's a ghost."

"It saw us."
