Thriller Zone: From the Mental Hospital to the Ghostly World

Not only that.

He hadn't noticed it when watching the video, but now, standing there in person, another doubt arose in Chen Ji's mind:

That is the gaze of the spying ghost.

Once this ghost looks at you, it's like falling into an icy river, sending chills down your spine. You simply can't help but notice the ghost's gaze!

The thing in the speakers wasn't there from the beginning; the breathing sound only appeared after Little D entered the audio-visual room.

It most likely came after Little D.

So Little D was the target, but how could she not have sensed it?

Even Chen Ji himself, if he hadn't been so keenly aware of the breathing sounds, wouldn't have known that there was a ghost hiding so close to him.

unless.....

There's a person coming from the speaker.

who is it?

An identity surfaced in Chen Ji's mind. This person had never appeared before, but was closely related to this guesthouse!

landlord!

But what was his purpose in doing this?

Chen Ji couldn't understand it.

Just as he was deep in thought, a faint sound suddenly came from outside the door, making his teeth ache.

Squeak—

It looked like some kind of metal object was being dragged on the ground.

At the same time, Little D, who was trembling behind the sofa, stopped crying and hurriedly crawled under the sofa!

coming!

The last segment of the video.

Chen Ji's heart sank. He saw the door being kicked open, and then a mangled corpse was thrown in.

It was the young master A, who was chatting and laughing not long ago.

But now he is lifeless. His once meticulously styled hair is unrecognizable because his skull has been dented by the hammer, leaving only drops of red and white paste falling to the floor.

And behind him...

Chen Ji's breathing quickened. He finally saw the killer's face, and without any surprise, it was the woman on the warning slip!

She still had a nervous smile on her face.

It looks very creepy.

Chen Ji immediately realized one thing: he didn't need to speculate on the killer's motives. She was clearly mentally unstable, like an antisocial personality in a movie.

The problem now is....

Did she know that there were two other people hiding here?

The idea simultaneously surfaced in another person's mind.

Little D was completely stiff. If it weren't for the creaking sound that reminded her, she would have been caught and tortured to death on the spot, just like Little A!

Will the serial killer discover her hiding under the sofa?

What about the rest?

Little A is dead...

Through the gap under the sofa, Little A's corpse stared back at her.

Little D could clearly see the other person's disfigured face, which bore no resemblance whatsoever to the spirited face in his memory.

Clearly, in just one more week, A will be boarding a plane to go to university abroad!

And then there was Little B, who was stabbed to death... Little D felt a pang of pain in her heart; Little B was her best friend throughout high school.

Everything beautiful, all the expectations after graduation, came to an abrupt end at this midnight.

why?

Just because they encountered a murderer on the street?

Were they chosen as targets because they almost bumped into each other?

Overwhelmed by grief and fear, Little D could hardly breathe. She knew the killer was still there, pacing near the sofa!

He was limping.

The feet of inferior metal prosthetics appear next to the sofa from time to time.

suddenly!

With a loud thud, Little D felt dizzy, and the entire leather sofa shook from the impact!

The next second, a blank face suddenly appeared outside the gap in the sofa.

"Got you."

.....

Amidst terrified screams, Little D was dragged away from under the sofa.

Chen Ji then fell into a state of paralysis.

He knew very well that the appearance of bloodstains at the original point in time proved that Little D would definitely be taken away from under the sofa; this was an inevitable plot point.

It cannot be changed.

It wasn't until a minute later that he regained his ability to move independently.

During this time, he heard a slight rustling sound, then the breathing stopped, and the creature from the speakers, which seemed to be the landlord, indeed chased after Little D.

Taking advantage of the break, Chen Ji immediately informed Fei'er of everything that had just happened.

The voyeur's predecessor was suspected to be the landlord; the serial killer was confirmed to be the crazy woman on the highway, and the metal prosthetic leg also belonged to her, but it is unclear whether the mission "inform her of its whereabouts" refers to the serial killer or the landlord.

But whoever they are, their goals are the same:

Little D.

"I'm going to track down Little D now. Fei'er, tell Wei Gu what I told you."

After he finished speaking, Chen Ji did not turn off the recorder and kept it recording.

.....

"I don't think it has anything to do with her."

On the second floor, at the original location where Little D hid his body, Dong Xiaohu said with some disbelief, "How could Dong Gui's body parts be on Little D's corpse?"

"They exist simultaneously."

Kui Gu was still prying at the floorboards, and a thin layer of sweat had already seeped out on his forehead.

He sighed helplessly: "Dong Xiaohu, your thinking is really rigid."

"Dong Gui appeared with Little D, but it was invisible, wasn't it?"

"Is it possible that we can't see it because we haven't restored it yet?"

Kui Gu believes that the simultaneous appearance of Dong Gui and Xiao D is not contradictory, because, to be precise, Dong Gui's state of existence is very strange.

"So, we should be pretty safe right now." Dong Xiaohu nodded.

"So the ghost will only appear after we complete the mission? No wonder we made such a big commotion but didn't feel any spying ghost watching us."

"Perhaps," Wei Gu replied dismissively.

"Never mind that for now, help me lift the floorboards."

"Whether we need them or not, we'd better collect all the body parts."

No one knows what the body of the ghost looks like below its head.

What we know so far is that it has hands, a head, and prosthetics; but it's hard to say about other parts, and it's even possible that there's another head under the head.

The two men lifted the wooden floorboards.

Kuigu chopped off the limbs that Xiao D had pieced together and piled them aside.

After doing all this, he looked at the dark floorboards, lost in thought.

"Dong Xiaohu".

Wei Gu suddenly said, "I've always felt that something is strange."

"what?"

"You said the homeowner spent so much money renovating this villa, why is the floor slab hollow?"

Dong Xiaohu didn't speak, as if he didn't quite understand what Wei Gu meant.

"And the strangest thing is..."

Kui Gu's pupils flickered slightly: "If you want to save money, why go to all this trouble to completely lock in the smell in the floorboards?"

He lay on the floor and reached his hand all the way in, feeling a layer of activated charcoal.

Moreover, the reason why the floor is so difficult to pry open is that every gap is sealed with sealant very carefully.

"That's why we didn't smell anything even though there were corpses right under our feet."

Kui Gu is preparing to undertake a major project.

He shone his flashlight down and saw a slope below, stretching out into who knows where.

Kui Gu blinked almost imperceptibly, and a ray of white light flashed by.

A few seconds later, he put the floor back, turned around and opened the cabinet in the corner, feeling around in the innermost part of the cabinet.

Immediately, he picked up a crowbar and smashed it down, instantly breaking the wooden board behind the cabinet!

But the walls inside aren't white.

It was a bottomless blackness.
