Thriller Zone: From the Mental Hospital to the Ghostly World

"1."

"8:45. There are still 15 minutes before Xiao E arrives. We found a passage behind the cabinet in Xie Hengshan's room on the second floor."

"I'm going in with Dong Xiaohu to explore now."

"Let me know if you have any news."

Wei Gu put down the tape recorder, feeling somewhat irritated.

Apart from the initial exchange of information, no further messages were transmitted from the original point in time.

"There probably isn't much progress over there." A few seconds later, Dong Xiaohu also sighed, looking anxious.

At this moment, they were surrounded by darkness. It was a narrow, cylindrical passageway with only a single, narrow ladder.

It is now clear that the landlord built a secret passage in his house, and he is most likely a spy.

They suffered because they were trapped inside the house and couldn't see the villa's exterior, so they subconsciously assumed it was only two stories high.

Kui Gu endured his headache while pondering.

However, he had a vague feeling that he had overlooked something...

Just then, Dong Xiaohu stopped and then leaped onto a flat surface.

"There's a small attic upstairs!"

In the darkness, he fumbled around for a while and turned on the light. Instantly, everything in the attic was exposed to Wei Gu's eyes!

“…”

The two of them froze on the spot!

The walls are covered with photos!

A dense collection of photos!

It covered the entire wall and floor, but what truly chilled Wei Gu to the bone was the... corpse in the very center of the attic!

It's a boy.

I haven't seen Kuigu in the video.

His body was also pieced together; he was kneeling on the ground, half of his hands and legs belonging to himself, while the other half resembled a woman's limbs, with pink nail polish on his hands.

It was done by the landlord.

“Psychopathic,” Wei Gu commented.

As he spoke, he began to scan the photos around him, and the more he looked, the more uncomfortable he felt, and goosebumps rose on his arms.

Those are photos of Xiao A and her group.

From the parking lane just outside.

Then push open the door.

Then I went inside. I smoked on the balcony. We chatted.

And countless enlarged photos, so clear that even pores are visible; Little D was photographed the most.

"Where was this freak filmed...?"

The more Wei Gu looked, the more something seemed off. Some of the photos were taken from such strange angles that they looked like they were attached to the furniture or walls.

Below are numerous notes.

It was all information about this group of people, and the landlord's dark speculations about them.

Among these photos, there's even one that's a candid shot of a dark figure climbing over the balcony!

“Is this a serial killer?” Wei Gu frowned. “So the landlord has been hiding in this guesthouse all along, and even knows that the serial killer is here.”

From the photos and text, Wei Gu learned who the corpse in the attic was.

Big B.

The other half of his body that he pieced together belonged to his sister, Little B.

Just then, Dong Xiaohu suddenly patted his shoulder, his voice sounding very serious:

"Kui Gu... what the hell is this thing?"

what?

Wei Gu was startled and turned around. He saw a white thing quietly nestled on the ground in the deepest part of the attic, in a dark corner.

And he hadn't even noticed it before!

Dong Xiaohu looked very nervous and stood motionless. It was obvious that he was afraid that touching this thing would bring danger.

Kui Gu ignored him and continued walking forward on his own.

soon.....

He saw it clearly and his breath caught in his throat!

That was actually a human skin!

Thin as a cicada's wing, with skin much whiter than normal, and without a single hair, resembling a hairless mole that lives underground year-round—

This is the skin of a voyeur!

But it has lost all its activity.

It looked like a dead object, posing no threat whatsoever.

Moreover, it had no eyeballs at all, only two empty eye sockets, which undoubtedly contradicted Xie Hengshan's description.

So... is that right?

Immediately, Dong Xiaohu's previous speculation came to mind:

"...The ghost will only appear after we complete our mission..."

It doesn't necessarily mean completing the task.

Perhaps the voyeur will fully revive after 9:30?

Kui Gu roughly understood. He hadn't expected that Dong Xiaohu, who seemed so dull, would accidentally reveal the truth.

But he didn't let his guard down. Instead, he picked up the crowbar in his hand and carefully poked the skin.

Nothing happens.

Kui Gu raised an eyebrow, and with a flick of his wrist, the flimsy human skin was flipped over.

His hand trembled instantly!

For a second, his breathing became erratic. Wei Gu never expected that one of the body parts they had been searching for... was actually hidden here!

Half a metal thigh protruded from the human skin.

This is the prosthetic leg.

Kuigu immediately tried to pull the prosthesis over, but the end of the prosthesis seemed to be stuck in a large piece of skin and could not be removed.

It's a human head.

"Buy one get one free!"

Kui Gu muttered, "We're lucky. These are the only two parts of the Dong Gui we've managed to find."

Without saying another word, Wei Gu walked up a few steps, grabbed the metal prosthetic limb, and felt its icy coldness.

He pulled back with all his might.

It can't be pulled.

Kui Gu frowned and pulled again, but he seemed to have used too much force, pulling the entire skin to his side. A loud crash came from the floor!

"clang!"

That light and airy skin, when it landed on Wei Gu, should have been completely invisible, yet it knocked Wei Gu to the ground!

Kui Gu's head seemed to have been hit by an iron rod, and everything went black.

Something is wrong!

Why is it so heavy?!

Kui Gu's heart sank, and he was about to throw away the prosthetic leg and peel off the human skin.

But at that moment, his eyes suddenly froze as he saw that lifeless human skin was gently twitching at the corner of its mouth.

Kui Gu's hand was as if it were glued to a prosthesis, and he could no longer move it.

"Dong Xiaohu—"

These words stuck in Wei Gu's throat.

He couldn't speak anymore, just like Liu Song before him.

Without a second's hesitation, Wei Gu blinked immediately, his pupils turning snow-white in an instant!

Everything in his eyes changed in an instant.

The human skin disappeared.

Also missing was the metal prosthetic limb that Wei Gu was clutching tightly in his hand.

It was replaced by a rusty iron handle.

Kui Gu's pupils suddenly contracted, and at that moment, he suddenly realized something—

Why didn't he notice the human skin before?

Because that spot actually contained an iron chair, the very chair that was currently enveloping him!

A cold gaze came from the back of the chair...

Kui Gu knew that the method of killing by the voyeur was to attach itself to furniture.

He has always been very careful.

But I still got scammed.

There was no human skin, no prosthetics... all that Kui Gu touched from head to toe was a chair.
