Thriller Zone: From the Mental Hospital to the Ghostly World

Soon everyone found a tourist guide, which seemed to have been written by the landlord, proving that the area was indeed a scenic spot.

There is only one road up the mountain, Highway 21; but there is no other information.

Seizing the moment, Chen Ji shared his guess with everyone.

The main way to survive when caught by a ghost is likely to be to "touch first" and "guess later," and only by guessing correctly can one live.

“I think there should be a time limit for this guessing process.” Chen Ji looked at Dong Xiaohu: “Did Zhou He talk to the ghost in the audiovisual room?”

Dong Xiaohu shook his head.

"She didn't say anything in the living room either," Wei Gu said first. "So, silence is also a wrong answer."

"The ghost asked Zhou He to touch something high up, but she couldn't answer. So this question might extend to the next target."

As she spoke, Wei Gu imitated Zhou He's actions from back then, and pointed to the air: "Her hand was about 2 meters off the ground, almost touching the ceiling."

So, in the end, it all comes down to the sound of "thump".

Since the thud is the sound of something hitting the ceiling, we don't need to consider the ghost's whole body; we only need to look at which part of the body made the sound.

Chen Ji pondered that the biggest problem now was that they couldn't see ghosts, so there were countless possibilities for the form of ghosts, and they could only guess.

Furthermore, while everyone initially believed the ghost had always existed, the mechanism that triggered the attack was predictable; it would only begin capturing people after a period of observation.

However, the feeling of being spied on has now disappeared.

No ghost appeared.

The current tranquility seems as fragile as duckweed, as if it could be broken at any moment.

As he was sorting out the problem, his ears suddenly twitched, and he and the others all looked towards the living room!

The TV turned on by itself!

When I arrived at the living room, the screen was initially black, then suddenly lit up, revealing several figures.

The camera was shaking a lot.

"This is... the restaurant of this guesthouse." Liu Song sat on the sofa, his eyes slightly narrowed. "Were they previous guests?"

In the picture, a young boy is sitting on a high stool eating fruit, and a boy of about the same age is standing next to him. The two are clearly friends.

The boy on the high stool is called A.

According to the conversation, he invited his friends to visit Chongshan Scenic Area after he started his holiday.

The other person is called Little C.

Kui Gu pressed the pause button.

"He also came on vacation. Are these the 'them' in Little E's story?"

That is, the people who ate sushi together at noon.

If that's the case, then they are most likely in grave danger.

Keep playing.

[The following is the content of the video]

A girl walked over, her face looking rather pale.

"Hey D, why the long face?" C laughed. "Can't you be a little happier on vacation?"

Little D gave him a cold look, then turned and asked, "Did any of you just go out?"

Why is the balcony door open?

"It looks like someone went to smoke earlier." Little A frowned. "What happened?"

Little D pulled a piece of paper out of his pocket and slapped it in front of Little A: "Didn't you read the news when you chose the location?"

"The name 'Chongshan Scenic Area' sounded familiar to me halfway there. Just now, when I went to close the balcony door, I found this piece of paper outside!"

Little A, looking completely unconcerned, picked up the paper and slowly began to mutter:

"Attention travelers visiting Chongshan Scenic Area in the coming days: Do not park on Route 21, the mountain ring road... No way? The landlord didn't tell me that when I booked the room?"

He flipped the page again, his gaze casually glancing at the suspect's photo, and his hand froze instantly.

"A serial killer?"

Little A murmured, her face instantly turning deathly pale.

"You remember now?" Little D said grimly, "She's that lunatic who was walking on the highway!"

"We were driving against traffic, and we almost hit her!"

"I don't care about you. I'm going back as soon as it's light."

Little A was a little reluctant to spend the room fee.

After arguing for a while, A finally agreed with D and decided to leave early the next morning.

They then left the camera's view, leaving only the empty restaurant in the frame.

in front of the TV.

"...A ghost is a murderer on the highway?" Liu Song was somewhat confused.

The video, though simple, was very clear: the group bumped into the murderer on their way to the guesthouse, and after some unknown events, E and F died.

“Not necessarily.” Wei Gu shook his head: “If a murderer can be seen, and even captured on camera, she is most likely a human being.”

"But how could E and F have died from human violence?"

"Furthermore, look at that picture. The murderer is sitting in the passenger seat, and she is clearly not that tall."

"...That's true." After hearing Wei Gu's explanation, Liu Song also felt that his speculation was wrong.

But if the murderer has nothing to do with ghosts, then what message is this video trying to convey?

Is it just to let them know that these people still exist?

Little A, Little D, and Little C.

Are they really dead? If so, where are their bodies?

Just as everyone was pondering this, suddenly, a rustling sound came from the television.

Very quietly.

"squeak......"

It sounded like a wooden plank being gently moved.

Liu Song was taken aback and stared intently, but the scene remained frozen in the empty restaurant, showing no change whatsoever.

and many more.

Liu Song's arms immediately broke out in goosebumps!

Not only him, but even Xie Hengshan let out a soft hiss.

In this seemingly frozen moment, the cabinet door was gently pulled open a crack.

A face peeked out from the cupboard.

His face was deathly pale, the corners of his mouth were nervously turned up, and his two slightly narrowed eyes were shining, as if he was chuckling silently.

It's that murderer.

Before the very beginning of the video, before the conversation between A and D...

She sneaked into the house and hid in the kitchen cupboard!

"No, what exactly is her connection to this domain?" Xie Hengshan couldn't hold back any longer.

Everything indicated that the murderer had followed the group into the guesthouse, but her characteristics did not match those of the ghost in this area!

The scene changed instantly.

Very suddenly, Little D appeared in the shot, but not in the restaurant, but hiding in the audiovisual room.

Her expression was one of extreme terror, and she had a wound on her body. She was leaning against the leather sofa, panting heavily.

Suddenly, Little D turned his head sharply towards the door and remained still for a few seconds, as if listening to something.

Immediately afterwards, she used both her hands and feet to crawl under the leather sofa!

A few seconds later...

The door to the audio-visual room was opened.

A dark, indistinct object was thrown in.

It's Xiao A's corpse.

But the way they died was different from that of Little E and Little F...

His head was smashed to pieces.
