Thriller Zone: From the Mental Hospital to the Ghostly World

A sliver of light stung Chen Ji's eyelids.

His thoughts, which had been completely stagnant, suddenly started running again, as if a play button had been pressed!

Suddenly opening his eyes, Chen Ji's memory was still stuck on the moment before he became [Ling], but the rubble falling on him made him realize something instantly:

[Ling]'s current state is coming to an end!

The rocks that covered his entire body had been broken in one corner, allowing the light from outside to shine through.

And the one who started the destruction of the [mausoleum]...

A sudden feeling of weightlessness swept over his body. Before Chen Ji could react, he heard a thud, and then his body plummeted downwards!

Bang!

Chen Ji was so shocked that his vision went black for a moment.

The ghost slammed the tomb downstairs.

The original [Ling] was made of a special material, making it relatively sturdy and difficult to be broken by external forces except by vengeful ghosts.

But now that it has a broken corner, it has lost its original properties, and countless cracks have spread, and it is about to collapse!

A red light flashed in Chen Ji's eyes. He knew that once his physical body was exposed to the air, the ghost would immediately make its move.

Can he guess any more?

The "Elephant Touching" phase lasts 10 seconds. If you can't guess the answer within 10 seconds, you die. But is there a limit to the number of times you can guess?

Chen Ji couldn't be sure because he did indeed use a puppet to die once, which was considered exploiting a bug; moreover, after being informed that there were two ghosts, he immediately transformed into [Ling] and couldn't hear the ghosts' voices.

Metal, wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, with a rounded top...

In other words, the area he didn't touch was a sphere/hemisphere.

This height... this shape...

Chen Ji suddenly jolted awake, his mind flashing back to his puppet and Zhou He's death!

All of them had legs stuck in their mouths.

If these corpses were to become ghosts, their tallest part would be their legs...

If the top of his thighs could touch the ceiling, then the place he touched would correspond exactly to—

From the calf to the knee.

The arc represents the knee.

The shape immediately conjured up a picture in his mind.

Chen Ji suddenly had an absurd guess: Could it be a metal prosthetic limb?

boom!

The stone suddenly shattered!

Chen Ji's body was suddenly exposed to the air and he was grabbed, but at that moment, Chen Ji suddenly heard several loud shouts coming from afar:

"It's the legs!"

"It didn't kill Little F!"

So Little F was killed by the voyeur? Then he guessed correctly about the snorting ghost's question back then!

"...Your legs are so cold."

As soon as he said those words, the red light in Chen Ji's eyes vanished, and his body was thrown to the ground.

He got it right.

......

A few minutes later, in the billiard hall.

After recounting what had happened, Liu Song also felt somewhat sentimental.

Phil saved his life, and his deductions also clarified the first "elephant body".

However, no one expected that the so-called "legs" would actually be...

"Prosthetic limbs".

Chen Ji said, "That's why Zhou He couldn't figure it out."

"I suspect the ghost's method of murder is hinted at in the 'Recognize It' quest."

It's just that no one can tell right now whether it's just one leg floating in the air or a complete body.

This can only be confirmed when a second person "feels the elephant".

Chen Ji believed there was another part, because when he was held hostage in the air, he felt a chill on his waist, which must have been touched by something.

It's very likely his hand, but he can't feel it.

"There's one more thing," Chen Ji suddenly remembered, "I discovered Little D's body."

"It's inside the floorboards, so it's hard to see clearly. I can only feel that the limbs are twisted. The death must have been horrific, but it's different from Little E and Little F."

There are now four ways to die.

One: The thud of the ghost kills, breaking off legs and stuffing them into its mouth. (Xiao E, Zhou He.)

Second: The voyeur kills people, melting them into furniture. (Little F.)

Meanwhile, the ghost's true form was nowhere to be found. Only Xie Hengshan had caught a glimpse of it and said it was as pale as an albino, with only its forehead and eyes showing, and not a single hair.

The third is Little D, whose cause of death is unclear; all that is known is that he suffered injuries to his limbs.

Fourth is Little A, whose head was smashed.

The latter two have a 99% chance of being brutally murdered by the highway killer.

At this point, Xie Hengshan suddenly hesitated and said, "Oh, right..."

"Do you remember what the warning notice said, that the suspect was highly deceptive?"

Liu Song paused for a moment, then nodded. This sentence was highlighted twice in bold, making it hard to forget.

Xie Hengshan said slowly, "I was thinking before, a normal person wouldn't just give someone a ride in this desolate wilderness, right...?"

"Then why are there so many victims? Aren't they just so careless?"

These words caused everyone's expression to change, and the answer became obvious!

That means the hitchhikers clearly posed no threat.

In fact, it seems like they need help.

"Do you think prosthetics make someone a serial killer?"

Xie Hengshan nodded, asking himself honestly, if he saw a disabled girl asking for help while driving, he would definitely stop too.

"The 'Dong Sheng Gui' was probably one of the people who stayed there. He was killed and became a ghost; then he killed the serial killer."

"The murderer thus became a voyeur," Dong Xiaohu concluded. "It always hid in the closet, which corresponds to killing someone while hiding inside the furniture."

Chen Ji seemed to be deep in thought.

Dong Xiaohu's last words suddenly reminded him of something.

That means that after Phil split the sofa, the ghost wasn't inside at all.

It will move.

So, where did that ghost go now?

In the silence, a question broke everyone's thoughts:

"Where is Wei Gu?"

It was Dong Xiaohu who asked. He looked around, his expression grim: "Where did he go all by himself?"

Xie Hengshan pointed to the restaurant, where he saw Wei Gu return after he finished speaking with him.

He said he felt safer being alone.

Xie Hengshan didn't seem to care much and didn't say much. He didn't really like the other person's attitude, but he also knew that Wei Gu meant no harm.

Suddenly, a sharp chill interrupted his thoughts!

Dong Xiaohu and Liu Song, who were standing to the side, froze on the spot.

The feeling vanished in an instant...

"The spy is here!"

Two seconds later, Dong Xiaohu suddenly jolted, as if he had finally come to his senses.

Chen Ji had already looked around the moment he sensed being spied on and saw with his own eyes that a white shadow seemed to have flashed across the pool table next to them.

"Wait, doesn't that mean—"

Liu Song broke out in a cold sweat. How could it have happened so quickly!

It hasn't even been ten minutes since Chen Ji answered correctly!

Boom!

A loud thud flashed briefly in the billiard room.

However, to everyone's surprise... a second sound rang out in the restaurant.
