Thriller Zone: From the Mental Hospital to the Ghostly World

Hua Hua——

Is it raining?

The sound of pattering rain reached Wei Gu's ears, and his consciousness finally returned, causing him to suddenly become fully awake.

He opened his eyes, and within a second, his pupils changed from a terrifying snow-white color to normal.

What happened just now?

Wei Gu's memories were hazy; it seemed he was touching a picture frame, then Dong Xiaohu arrived, and then...

He forgot.

But he must have changed his form, though I don't know why?

Kui Gu took a deep breath and turned to look around.

The room was dark.

Strange... Unlike before he lost consciousness, he wasn't in the restaurant, but standing at the entrance of this guesthouse.

It's raining outside.

heavy rain.

Through the glass on both sides of the gate, you can see the wet parking lane outside.

But Wei Gu clearly remembered that when he first entered the domain, the area outside the guesthouse was shrouded in gray fog, and he couldn't see anything, let alone it rained!

It's that painting...

Kui Gu frowned; the portrait must have led him to another space.

wrong.

This is still the same guesthouse.

That's not a space, it's more likely the previous guesthouse, meaning it's just a different timeline?

Kui Gu did not make any rash moves, but remained quiet, listening to the sounds around him.

All sounds are silent.

It was as if... he was the only person in the entire house.

Where are the others? Are they still at the same guesthouse?

Kui Gu breathed a sigh of relief. If he was alone, he wouldn't need to hide many things from others.

For example....

Use those two modified eyeballs.

It was these eyes, given to him by the coach, that allowed Wei Gu to notice the anomaly in the drawing.

"I'm speechless. There wasn't even a hint. Without cheating, how would anyone know there was something wrong with the painting?"

Wei Gu silently complained, and at that moment, he suddenly took a step back!

Bang!

Something crashed down in front of him!

slam-la-

Immediately, just like when I first entered the domain, the familiar sound of turning pages rang out.

Wei Gu was taken aback, took out his phone, and found that it was still that story collection.

It's still "Blind Men and an Elephant," so why again—

and many more.

wrong!

Kui Gu's pupils suddenly contracted; the task at hand in the story had changed!

Only three words remain:

【Restore it】

What does this mean? Does it mean that those three tasks weren't completed in the same space?

Only those who enter the portrait can complete the task of "restoring it".

The next second, a few lines of smaller text appeared at the bottom of this page, as if to complete the information:

It was a dark, rainy night.

The guest will arrive at 9:00. Please restore "Dong's" body before 9:30.

Sure enough... this is the second stage. Once the tasks are broken down, the specific procedures will emerge.

The guests likely refer to Xiao A and his group.

Damn it, this domain is so complicated! He thought it was almost over!

While pondering, Wei Gu suddenly twitched his ears and heard a familiar voice:

"Kuigu, where are you?"

It's Dong Xiaohu! How did Dong Xiaohu get in here?

Wei Gu's eyes were suddenly blinded by the light, and the living room lights blazed on!

Dong Xiaohu walked out of the living room and looked at Wei Gu: "You're awake, why aren't you saying anything?"

His whole body stiffened, and Wei Gu did not answer him. His expression changed drastically, and he looked around warily.

But nothing unusual happened.

A few seconds later, he relaxed and said helplessly, "Didn't you ever think that if the light came on, the ghost might find us?"

Dong Xiaohu was stunned for a moment, as if he really hadn't thought of this.

After a brief discussion, Dong Xiaohu, like Wei Gu, experienced the same thing: his vision went black, and when he woke up, he found himself here.

Kui Gu couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

So... it was Dong Xiaohu who came looking for him, but ended up getting dragged into this mess by him instead.

The storybook on the ground had disappeared, and suddenly, a notification sound came from the restaurant.

"Ding!"

The two exchanged a glance and walked towards the restaurant. In the dimly lit room, only a laptop on the table emitted a faint light.

Unable to be controlled.

The interface is frozen on a webpage.

【Dear landlord】

Your accommodation has been booked.

[Date: October 1st - 6th, 2024]

[Number of guests: 2]

2?

Kui Gu was stunned.

How could it be 2?

There are at least 5 people in A's group, right?

As Wei Gu recalled the previous recordings and videos, he suddenly shuddered:

"Grass!"

He immediately understood who those two people were!

In the recording, Little E's words echoed in his ears again: "It smells like stinky tobacco! My clothes are all wet."

Little E doesn't allow Little F to smoke outside, so he'll definitely go outside or to the balcony—

My clothes are wet.

It's raining outside.

So these two people are E and F; that means...

The audio and video recordings were taken at different times!

Those were two groups of people.

......

In the audio-visual room, Chen Ji followed the previous recordings and found the second location of the "peeping".

The video shows Little D running for his life, then discovering the killer approaching, and hiding under the sofa.

Then A's body was also found.

The camera in the video was near the giant screen. After comparing the footage, Chen Ji thought the most likely location was the giant stereo speaker on the left.

To prevent themselves from being suddenly taken away like Dong Xiaohu and Wei Gu, the four of them huddled together in an extremely contorted position.

Hands stacked on top of each other, so that even if someone is suddenly teleported away, all four of you can walk together.

Therefore, the process of exploration was extremely slow.

They slowly touched upwards from the middle, past the wooden outer shell, and then the sound-transmitting mesh.

By this time, Fei'er was already struggling and had to stand on tiptoe to reach it.

Chen Ji kept looking back.

Is this pretty much it?

Xie Hengshan had Fei'er step on his shoes, and the four of them piled up like a meat pie, continuing to grope upwards—

And in the very next instant.

This deformed combination suddenly fell apart!

Chen Ji's figure suddenly disappeared, leaving only Fei'er, Xie Hengshan, and Liu Song looking at each other in bewilderment.

This undoubtedly proves.....

Chen Ji's speculation was correct.

But why was he the only one who was sent away?

"Weren't we touching them at the same time? Why is there a limit to the number of people?" Liu Song muttered in disbelief.

Xie Hengshan was also lost in confusion.

Fei'er's expression suddenly turned very bad, and her eyes clearly became anxious, but at this moment, they all suddenly looked upstairs.

Bang!

It's like a book...

It crashed to the ground.

......

Bright light pierced Chen Ji's eyes.

In the distance, the faint sound of footsteps could be heard.

Did Wei Gu and Dong Xiaohu notice that he had arrived?

Chen Ji's muddled mind slowly cleared, and he found himself in the dining room, leaning against a table.

Snap...

what sound?

A strange chewing sound suddenly appeared beside Chen Ji.

He turned his head in confusion, and his gaze froze when he saw the source of the sound!

A boy sat on a high stool, leisurely munching on fruit.

Chen Ji froze completely. He immediately realized where he was, and at that moment, his head involuntarily turned forward, just like in the video he had watched earlier—

Little D stood angrily in front of them.

Chen Ji, no.

It's Little C.

He is Little C.

His mouth opened automatically, as if reciting lines, and he said with a smile, "Little D, why the long face? Can't you be a little happier on your holiday?"

Chen Ji's voice was relaxed and cheerful.

But a cold sweat had already broken out on his back, because he already knew an extremely terrifying truth—

The serial killer is in the closet behind him!
