Thriller Zone: From the Mental Hospital to the Ghostly World

Xie Hengshan looked at Wei Gu with complicated emotions, opened his mouth as if to say something, but still didn't ask.

Although he had a so-so impression of Wei Gu, he had to admit that he really admired the man.

After being tricked by the ghost, he was able to turn the tables, steal Zhou He's glass ball, and then seize the opportunity to destroy the ghost's container.

Although Wei Gu clearly obscured the details of his use of the glass ball and his escape from the ghost in his description, Xie Hengshan did not want to ask any further questions.

The others didn't seem inclined to inquire either.

but......

"Kuigu, why hasn't your arm healed yet?" Liu Song couldn't help but ask, puzzled.

Everyone present had left the domain with injuries to varying degrees and knew that the domain river was being repaired very quickly.

But this doesn't seem to apply to Wei Gu.

Kui Gu shook his head slightly and didn't say anything.

His gaze had shifted to one side of the Yu River, where a colossal statue, devoid of joy or sorrow, suddenly began to tremble slightly!

The others are fine...

Only Chen Ji and Wei Gu exchanged a quick glance.

The sound of pebbles falling into the river was continuous. Gui Su slowly raised his hand, and the vibration frequency became stronger and stronger. It was a scene that no one here had ever experienced before!

Chen Ji's heart was pounding!

This is a water worm!

A giant hand, cast in stone, covered the small boat.

He pointed at Chen Ji and Wei Gu with two fingers.

Liu Song and Xie Heng's expressions changed slightly. A mysterious being had rewarded the two of them... Chen Ji and Wei Gu actually had the same mark.

The red dot on Wei Gu's left wrist glowed faintly.

Not many are bright.

The third, dim star was a little brighter than the previous ones.

Kui Gu remained calm and said nothing more; he was already quite content.

Only he knew that since his body was modified, the rewards given to him by the Zhenshui worm had been greatly reduced.

Otherwise, he would be like Chen Ji right now, with his third star already fully lit.

This is also what all those who enter the realm look forward to the most:

Open the Netherworld.

"Netherworld..."

Chen Ji muttered to himself silently.

At this moment, that familiar and gentle voice echoed in his mind once again, from the Zhenshui worm!

"The 'Zhenshui Earthworm' has seen you."

"As a reward, your Netherworld has been opened."

In the depths of his being, Chen Ji sensed a strange change.

As if pulled by an invisible thread, he was completely bound to something.

The thread passed through his brain, through his heart, through every blood vessel in his body, and finally emerged from his fingertips, leading to a piece of cold metal.

"pen."

he murmured.

【Hello】

Huh? Chen Ji was taken aback.

The pen in his pocket remained motionless.

Can you hear me?

But a lazy voice suddenly rang in Chen Ji's mind.

Chen Ji

【List】

【pole】

【Chen Ji Chen Ji Chen Ji】

"Shut up!" Chen Ji's head throbbed with pain. "I can hear you!"

【o】

Chen Ji was speechless for a moment. He never expected that the opening of the Netherworld would cause the pen to be able to talk.

Although only he himself could hear it.

【OK】

We can now communicate at any time.

"That won't be necessary..."

For some reason, Chen Ji felt that although it was a good thing that the pen could talk, it would seriously affect his quality of life.

You know it's pointless for you to say it, right?

We have already linked our accounts.

I'll say whatever I want from now on.

You can't pretend you don't see it.

"..."

Alright, stop looking so reluctant.

The one-armed guy opposite you is already suspicious.

One-armed?

Chen Ji raised his head and met Wei Gu's slightly open eyes.

A flash of white light appeared quickly and then disappeared.

After making eye contact with Chen Ji, Wei Gu immediately looked away, pretending to admire the scenery on both sides of the Yu River.

He's a ghost.

"Impossible," Chen Ji thought to himself, "The Ghostly Constellation wouldn't choose a ghost."

"His problem is his eyes, but his body should still be human."

Maybe.

It makes no difference to me.

Chen Ji did not answer, but glanced at Wei Gu.

He believes that the groin is mostly related to the company.

To date, the method to transform someone into a ghost is only known to Wang Chao and the Twelve Directors.

However, Wei Gu is not much older than him, at most 24 or 5 years old, so the probability of him being one of the twelve directors is very low.

If it wasn't them, then Wei Gu's identity might be similar to Wan Xiaoshuang's?

They are immediate family members or acquaintances.

However, Chen Ji had already determined that even within the company there were factions with weak relationships, and some even fought against each other.

Kui Gu's attitude towards him was alright.

Therefore, even if the other party recognizes him, the possibility that he belongs to Zeng's faction is very small.

Stopping dwelling on that, Chen Ji thought of something else:

"Now you can't escape, can you?"

Why should I leave?

"Haven't you always wanted to leave?"

Chen Ji raised his eyebrows. He hadn't forgotten that even in the ghost story domain, the pen had tried to escape.

I have my own domain.

The pen replied simply.

域？

"You mean the Netherworld?"

Chen Ji frowned.

【hold head high】

Even though they created it, right?

[But it can still be considered a domain]

Chen Ji seemed to be deep in thought.

He recalled Su Qiuyue's mental hospital, the masked ghost, and the bizarre mechanisms within it—it was indeed a separate, isolated space.

He gazed at Wei Yueyan pointing at Fei'er, and suddenly murmured to himself:

What is my Netherworld like?

【Your Netherworld?】

The pen gave a hoarse, eerie laugh:

You'll find out once you leave.

go out......

Chen Ji hummed in response and then stopped replying to the pen.

The pen's words made his heart sink.

Before entering the domain, the strange situation on Du Tingfeng's side resurfaced in Chen Ji's mind.

We're very close to the shore now...

The stone door is now clearly visible; stepping through it will lead to reality.

"Fei'er".

Chen Ji nudged Fei'er's shoulder and suddenly froze.

"what happened to you?"

Fei'er's face was extremely pale, and her usually calm eyes were now filled with intense panic!

"I don't know... I feel something's wrong."

"The closer I get to the door, the more uncomfortable I feel, just like when I first entered the domain!"

Chen Ji's expression also changed.

As the strange feeling of opening the Netherworld slowly faded, he suddenly could hear his heart pounding like muffled thunder.

wow-

wow-

The Yu River has almost stopped flowing.

Like the sea before a storm, it was dull and silent, like a mirror.

The small boat slowly drifted to the shore. Wei Gu coughed lightly and was about to call out to Chen Ji, but no sound came out.

Chen Ji and Fei'er jumped off the boat and ran towards the stone gate as if a vengeful ghost was following them!

squeak--

The door was pushed open, and Chen Ji stepped inside. The next second, he was greeted by an empty living room.

This is Du Tingfeng's home.

There was no one inside.

There was only a note left on the table.

Come to the hospital to find me.

She's gone.
