Thriller Zone: From the Mental Hospital to the Ghostly World

Li Fengxiu did not come to pick them up.

After Wu Gong and the other man left....

"A-Jian and Xiao-Yan are a couple."

Chen Ji informed Chang Hao about this matter.

"Xiao Yan?" Chang Hao was stunned. "Isn't it Li Fengxiu?"

He also did not overlook A-Jian's red cloth, but his thoughts were completely opposite to Chen Ji's.

After all, Xiao Yan had hardly ever had any contact with A Jian!

But Li Fengxiu had met A-Jian many times, and of the three servants, A-Jian was the only one who did not turn into a gray sheep!

"Huh?" Chen Ji was taken aback. "Why would you think that?"

"Li Fengxiu even ate her own mother, which proves that she and her original self are completely separated."

He didn't notice so many details; it was just a very simple principle:

The difference in status between A-Jian and Li Fengxiu is too great.

Moreover, Li Fengxiu was already engaged.

It's highly unlikely that the original owner and A-Jian had any contact, and the idea that the ghost who later replaced Li Fengxiu developed feelings for a human is utter nonsense.

But the swallows on Ah Jian's handkerchief are the irrefutable proof.

.....

the other side.

Yin Ziqin and Wu Gong returned to the east wing of the Zheng residence.

Xiao Yan unlocked the door in front of them.

The door was locked from the outside after Yin Ziqin and her companion left in the morning.

Yin Ziqin and Wu Gong exchanged a glance, said nothing, and went inside.

Jiang Zhong was lying alone in bed.

Pale.

The room still reeked as much as ever.

"I brought you some flatbread," Yin Ziqin said with mixed feelings, handing the flatbread to Jiang Zhong. "Are you alright?"

Jiang Zhong remained silent.

He didn't accept the pie either.

After a moment, he muttered gloomily, "Repair the stage this afternoon?"

Yin Ziqin shook her head and told him everything that had happened that morning.

"We suspect that the ghost hasn't chosen a target yet... Also, today's plan has changed; we'll be repairing the sheepfold this afternoon."

The moment those two sentences left his mouth, Jiang Zhong's expression changed drastically!

He sat up immediately, his movements still a little stiff, and muttered something silently.

Everything he experienced last night led him to naturally find the answers to these two anomalies on his own.

why?

Because he's missing!

Jiang Zhong didn't hesitate for long before getting up and walking silently toward the door.

"What are you doing? The door is locked!"

Yin Ziqin was completely bewildered and was about to pull Jiang Zhong back when she heard Wu Gong say from the inner room:

"You want to skip your afternoon chores?"

Jiang Zhong couldn't open the door, so he stopped.

“You won’t be able to leave at noon,” Wu Gong said leisurely. “Your only chance is on the way to the Zhou residence this afternoon; perhaps you can still escape then.”

"However, without you, the process of repairing the sheepfold will be much more difficult for us..."

"Isn't this too selfish?"

Yin Ziqin's expression was uncertain.

She glanced subtly at the tightly closed door to the inner room. Wu Gong's words, ostensibly a condemnation, were in fact a subtle way of conveying a message to Jiang Zhong...

I can help you escape.

But you have to do something.

"...I'm not doing nothing this afternoon either." Jiang Zhong's grip on the doorknob tightened suddenly. "Are you sure I can escape?"

"What can you do?" Wu Gong countered.

Jiang Zhong remained silent.

The crisis in this domain occurred during team activities, and the individual's role was not very significant.

After a moment, he said in a gloomy tone, "I'll go get my phone back."

“You should have done this yesterday,” Wu Gong immediately pointed out.

Bang!

"If the door is locked, how can I fly out?"

Jiang Zhong stomped his foot on the inner door, making a loud noise!

"Don't push your luck! I haven't even mentioned what you did to me yesterday!" Jiang Zhong's expression suddenly turned furious!

Clearly, he had been holding back on this for a long time, and now he was about to explode.

Yin Ziqin finally understood why Jiang Zhong had left his phone there yesterday.

She sighed softly and remained silent.

No more sounds came from inside.

"Feeling guilty?" Jiang Zhong sneered, looking at Yin Ziqin: "Will you help me or not?"

"You just need to keep an eye on Xiaoyan and Ajian for me, I can slip away by myself."

"If I don't leave, I'll die, do you understand?"

Yin Ziqin pursed her lips and turned her head away.

Inside the room, Wu Gong squinted slightly, feigning sleep.

He didn't show any annoyance at being exposed by Jiang Zhong.

Outside, Jiang Zhong was using both sob stories and threats and inducements.

But all the noise soon came to an abrupt end.

Only the soft chewing sound remained. Jiang Zhong picked up the flatbread, but seemed to eat it without tasting it.

Yin Ziqin agreed as expected... She's still the same person, she hasn't changed at all.

Wu Gong sighed silently.

The corners of his mouth raised slightly.

.....

Lunch break goes by quickly

The six people reunited.

With Yin Ziqin's help, Jiang Zhong successfully escaped.

He said he would meet up with them after retrieving his phone, but Wu Gong just smiled.

Half an hour later.

Ah Jian brought over the blueprints; the ink was still wet.

"Is this a sheep pen? Are you sure?" Chang Hao frowned and asked again and again.

A-Jian nodded blankly.

This woodworking project was divided into two sessions.

As per Master Zhou's instructions, one match will be held at the foot of the back mountain, and the other will be held in the village.

To be precise...

This carpentry project involved building a sheep pen, but that was just one part of the whole, because the only suitable location for building the sheep pen was at the foot of the back mountain!

Chen Ji, Chu Jing, and Chang Hao were taken to the back mountain.

Du Tingfeng, Wu Gong, and Yin Ziqin, however, were left behind in the village for some unknown reason.

Chu Jing gazed at the ruins of the sheepfold.

This job was actually much easier than they had imagined, because to be precise, it involved renovating a sheep pen that had been abandoned for many years.

The old shepherd's hut is still preserved next to it.

"Look at these blueprints, the sheepfold is going to be expanded this much?"

Chang Hao gestured towards the open space next to the sheepfold.

He glanced at the blueprints again, a strange look appearing on his face.

Not only did they have to demolish the original gate and rebuild it, but they also had to build a new fence and a new gate not far away on the outside!

In other words, there will be two lines of defense in this sheepfold.

At the same time, two different sections need to be divided inside. Chen Ji vaguely felt that this seemed to be a comparison of two different colored goats.

Ah Jian placed an hourglass next to them, told them how to use it, and then turned and went back to the village.

"First, smash down the old gate and install a fence." Chang Hao muttered the rules as he slowly approached the sheep pen. "When the hourglass runs out, we can't stop for a second. At the same time, we start installing the two new gates."

As they spoke, the three of them approached the original fence of the sheep pen and began to dismantle the original gate.

The air grew heavy again.

It seems to foreshadow another heavy rain soon.

There was no wind, no sound, and not even a bird in sight.

The foot of the mountain was quiet, except for the occasional knocking sound.

rustle.....

The hourglass is flowing slowly.

rustle.....

Chu Jing suddenly stopped what she was doing.

At the same moment, she and Chang Hao both stared stiffly at their arms.

On it, the fine hairs rippled gently like waves of wheat.

rustle.....

On the ground of the sheepfold, there were piles of wheat straw that had been dried up for who knows how many years.

The middle of the wheat straw is slightly sunken.

The leaves rippled.

It was as if an unseen person was sitting on the haystack, making the straw rustle with their movements.

rustle.

A second ghost followed them.
