Thriller Zone: From the Mental Hospital to the Ghostly World

These words sent chills down everyone's spines. Instinctively, Xie Hengshan looked up, but all he saw was the gleaming crystal chandelier...

Just then, everyone suddenly felt their bodies relax, and the venomous gaze that seemed to be clinging to them vanished abruptly.

"The ghost has disappeared?"

Zhou He was taken aback.

It came suddenly, and it disappeared just as suddenly... Liu Song immediately felt a great weight lifted from his heart.

However, Wei Gu's expression changed drastically, and he suddenly looked up at the ceiling!

Almost simultaneously, Chen Ji made the same move.

It can't be that simple!

The ghost no longer watching them wasn't because it had lost interest, but more likely a sign...

It's about to take action.

Chen Ji's pupils suddenly contracted. He saw with his own eyes that the ceiling at the end of the corridor was trembling slightly!

Boom!

A knocking sound, clearer than the one heard before, came from that direction.

In an instant, the horrific scene of Little E's death flashed into everyone's minds. Almost instinctively, everyone ran back frantically like headless flies!

The idea is to "touch the elephant," but in this situation, who would actually dare to touch it?

Boom!

Chen Ji grabbed Fei'er and the two of them rushed upstairs!

Boom!

Zhou He looked around, her previous guesses flashing through her mind:

"...Ghosts might walk upside down on the ceiling..."

She gritted her teeth and, instead of following Liu Song to the billiard hall, ran towards the double-height living room!

Kui Gu followed closely behind, but after glancing at Zhou He, he went straight through the living room and into the innermost dining room.

thump.

The sound lingered in the middle of the corridor.

Heading south, you'll find the billiards room and audio-visual room; heading north, you'll find the living and dining room.

Heading east along the corridor, you'll find a staircase leading directly to the second floor...

The entire villa fell into an eerie silence.

......

Liu Song huddled under the pool table.

His ominous premonition grew stronger, simply because he was different from everyone else; his body seemed, perhaps, to have been touched by a ghost.

Even he didn't know if it was real or just an illusion.

Does this mean I've been chosen by a ghost?

Liu Song forcibly suppressed his fear. For some reason, the thud had stopped. He didn't know if the ghost was still lingering in the corridor, or something else entirely...

It was at this time.

Liu Song's heart skipped a beat.

It was like walking under a willow tree in spring, and he suddenly felt something brush past the top of his head for a second!

The terrifying experience recounted by Wei Gu resurfaced in his mind once again:

"...Its body was still far away, but its head was stretched out on your head, watching your expression."

Is it possible for a ghost's neck to stretch that long?

Does that mean the ghost is right next to him... on the pool table, its head already sticking out onto him?!

That's why it didn't make a thud.

Just as Liu Song was filled with fear, he suddenly saw a corner of white paper float past his eyes.

There was also a strip of tape on it that had lost its stickiness.

I gently brushed his forehead, as if I had just brushed my head.

Liu Song froze, instinctively looking up to see a piece of printed paper loosely affixed to the stone slab at the bottom of the pool table...

It says:

【Note】

[Travelers visiting Chongshan Scenic Area in the coming days, please note: Do not park on Route 21, the ring road around the mountain!]

[Travelers visiting Chongshan Scenic Area in the coming days, please note: Do not park on Route 21, the ring road around the mountain!]

Several tourists who have been on self-driving tours have gone missing in this section of the road!

Chongshan Scenic Area? Is that where this guesthouse is located?

Liu Song was a little confused. He stretched his neck and looked hard, and found that the printed paper was faintly colored, and there seemed to be words and pictures on the back.

With his elbows braced against the ground, Liu Song carefully peeled off the last two sheets of tape and tore off the printed paper. Sure enough, there was another picture on the back of the paper.

He was about to look when he suddenly raised his head and turned around to look!

A terrifying scream rang out.

......

Zhou He hid behind the sofa, her whole body as stiff as a stone.

A tremendous fear spread through her entire body.

That's right, the thumping sound didn't happen again, but that doesn't mean the ghost wasn't around!

Just like Little E in life, Zhou He felt a chill that penetrated to her very bones, and this made her realize one thing:

She was wrong.

Ghosts definitely don't walk upside down on the ceiling.

Hiding in the living room made it impossible for me to determine exactly where the ghost was!

She could only huddle behind the sofa, motionless, clutching her life-saving artifact tightly in one hand, ready to activate it at the slightest sign of trouble.

This strange creature can be used twice within a domain, with a ten-second charging period, after which it immediately moves to a random location within the domain.

Zhou He did not act immediately. She was well aware that the theme of this domain was "blind men touching an elephant"!

If the ghost doesn't notice her, then she can avoid using any strange objects. If she does notice, then she'll have a few seconds before moving to a new location to make contact with the ghost while ensuring her own safety!

After all, they currently know far too little about this ghost.

Zhou He took a few deep breaths silently to calm her heartbeat.

Quickly recalling the conversation between Little E and Little F, Zhou He's brain raced, extracting an important piece of information:

When a ghost attacks a person, it can be touched; it is not invisible.

Because Little F once said, "Your legs are so cold."

In other words, as long as you don't sense the ghost's physical form, you're still considered safe.

While she was pondering, Zhou He's pupils suddenly shrank, and without saying a word, she immediately activated her strange artifact!

Because, suddenly she felt a chill in her waist, as if she had been grabbed by two unseen hands, and was lifted directly into the air!

This scene was so bizarre, it was as if Zhou He was floating in the air.

Nine, eight, seven...

The countdown started in Zhou He's mind, and she immediately told herself to stay calm!

He then quickly reached out with both hands to feel around him, just as he had planned, to "feel the elephant"!

Bang!

Zhou He's raised hand suddenly swung forward uncontrollably, hitting a hard object and causing her vision to go black from the pain.

Six, five, four...

Her hands seemed to be stuck to this thing.

A flash of inspiration struck Zhou He: it wasn't just them who wanted to touch the elephant; the elephant itself was forcing them to touch it!

It was cold, hard, but not rough. She was in mid-air; the place her hand touched was about 2.5 meters above the ground...

What is it?

Two, one.

Zhou He's figure vanished in mid-air in an instant.

When she opened her eyes again, she immediately looked around and realized that she was in a video room.

Dong Xiaohu was standing in front of the leather sofa, looking at her in surprise.

Zhou He waved her hand without saying a word, her body covered in cold sweat.

The thumping sound stopped.

This means the ghost is still in the living room.

Zhou He breathed a sigh of relief. Everything went according to her plan. She obtained the clues and was able to leave safely!

Just then, she suddenly froze, saw Dong Xiaohu give her a resentful look, and hurriedly crawled under the sofa.

How.....

what happened?

Zhou He was stunned.

Suddenly, a very familiar voice rang out above her head.

thump.

It was like a hammer that slammed heavily into her ear, and Zhou He's vision went black!

thump.

Zhou He was grabbed by the ghost again.

A cold, emotionless voice reached her ears:

"guessed wrong."

At that moment, she suddenly realized something, a ridiculous truth that had been covered up by the ghost's knocking.

thump.

Very simple.

It is clear.

Ghosts can also teleport.
