Thriller Zone: From the Mental Hospital to the Ghostly World

It happened suddenly.

Despite having many questions, Du Tingfeng and his companions didn't have time to discuss them now, as the earliest high-speed train to Yanjing City departed in the evening.

"We're not sure how many days we'll stay in Yanjing."

The sports car was parked at the foot of the mountain, in front of Chen Ji's house. Du Tingfeng gave instructions.

His tense expression remained unchanged.

"If I'm lucky, I might find my sister in less than a day; if I'm unlucky, I'll have to stay a while longer."

"I've already booked the tickets. I'll come pick you up at 4:30."

Chen Ji nodded, watching the black sports car speed away towards Fei'er's house.

At that moment, an indescribable feeling of exhaustion suddenly welled up in my heart.

Du Muyu disappeared immediately after leaving the territory; finally, a clue appeared, on a high-speed train bound for Yantai and Beijing...

Du Muyu didn't bring her ID card at all.

In fact, when Chen Ji first learned of Du Muyu's disappearance, he suspected that she might have been pulled into the domain, just like he had at the beginning.

But Du Muyu never received a boat ticket.

Furthermore, surveillance footage showed her leaving the hospital lobby on the first floor.

Lost in thought, Chen Ji turned and entered the residential area, a strange voice echoing in his mind:

Are you really going to go find her?

"Ah."

【Yanjing....】The pen drawled out the last syllable, the tone inexplicable.

Chen Ji knew what it wanted to say.

"I'll have to go there sooner or later." He turned into the apartment building and stopped at the elevator: "The company headquarters is there."

"And Xu Sandao."

At this point, Chen Ji's heart sank slightly. Xu Sandao's alternate account had indeed been deleted, and he could no longer contact him.

【Fine】

I don't care.

Remember to try out my Netherworld when you have the chance.

After saying that, it fell silent, as if it had fallen asleep.

"My" Netherworld... Chen Ji's lips twitched. Just then, the elevator doors slowly opened.

Chen Ji was taken aback.

A new notice from the property management company has been posted in the elevator lobby, reminding everyone to lock their doors and windows.

It is said that the thief, who was previously reported to have broken into the community some time ago, and even harassed the children playing in the playground.

Now it's suspected that it's not just theft, but also possible human trafficking.

Below was a blurry screenshot from a security camera, showing a homeless man rummaging through the trash cans in the residential complex. Chen Ji looked at it and realized it was in front of his own apartment building.

He didn't take it too seriously. Although he had children at home, there was absolutely no need to worry that Wusu would be kidnapped.

After all, Wusu is essentially an avatar of the Source Corpse...

After returning home, Chen Ji quickly packed his luggage and then made a phone call to Chen Yuetan.

Chen Yuetan is temporarily unable to get away from his duties.

The reason is simple, and it's still related to Yang Yu.

As a former teammate, also known as A Yang, he first entered the Thirteenth Inning and was later recruited by Wang Chao. His experiences during the seven years in between remain a mystery.

Do you remember the post Su Qiuyue made on Yuhe?

Amidst the faint sounds of children making noise on the other end of the phone, Chen Yuetan spoke solemnly.

She said, "Be careful of the company."

Chen Ji responded; he remembered the post and had always had questions about it.

Su Qiuyue's post had already shown her attitude towards the company, but later, she acted completely the opposite, as if she were under a spell.

Not only did she join the company, but her personality also changed completely.

“In the previous domain, the people from the Thirteenth Bureau had already had friction with the company,” Chen Yuetan said, “but it wasn’t just because of that.”

"People in the bureau told me that Yang Yu returned to the 13th Bureau once after leaving the bureau, and by then he was like a completely different person."

Su Qiuyue was very worried about this.

"She probably knew that Yang Yu had been in contact with the company at that time, and suspected that Yang Yu had been tricked and misled by the company, which is why she posted the message to inform everyone."

Chen Ji listened quietly.

To everyone's surprise, Su Qiuyue also went to the company later.

His eyes flickered slightly as he recalled his previous encounter with Su Qiuyue, and he said, "Su Qiuyue has a ghostly aura about her."

“Yang Yu is the same,” Chen Yuetan said briefly. “I met with him once recently.”

"After that, he stayed in Tianhai."

"Hasn't the company been experimenting with turning humans into ghosts? Could it be..." Chen Ji's expression turned slightly serious.

There was no response from the other end of the phone.

All that could be heard was a faint ripping sound, like someone tearing gauze.

After a while, Chen Yuetan sighed softly, "Perhaps."

His tone instantly turned very serious.

“I don’t know why Du Muyu went to Yanjing, but there are two things I need to tell you.”

"one."

"Usu had contact with her, but could not see any 'scenes' related to her at all."

"He just tried it, but the price was bleeding from both eyes, and it hasn't stopped yet."

No wonder there was a child making noise in the background of the phone call... Chen Ji's eyes narrowed slightly.

Wusu is almost equivalent to a source corpse, and the "scene" is further enhanced by the A-level ghost pocket watch, but he still cannot see Du Muyu's future, and is even backfired!

At that moment, Wu Su's weak voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Light."

What? Chen Ji was taken aback.

"I can't see her because she's too bright..."

"It hurt my eyes."

"How are you now?" Chen Ji asked immediately. "Can you still see things clearly?"

"Well, it's okay."

Wu Su obediently responded, and a rustling sound came as Chen Yuetan took the phone back.

"That's it."

“This matter is not that simple, but your friend will definitely not give up on finding his sister.”

Chen Yuetan did not intend to stop Chen Ji.

“The siblings have helped you a lot, so I won’t say more. I just want to make the seriousness of this matter clear to you first.”

"I have to wait a few days before I can go to Yanjing. When I do, I'll bring Wusu with me to help you find it."

At this point, Chen Yuetan brought up the second matter.

"Yang Yu told me that Wan Yaohong has come to Tianhai."

Wan Yaohong?

This news was both unexpected and anticipated, and Chen Ji was not particularly surprised.

This actually explains why Wan Xiaoshuang brought people from the gallery to Tianhai.

“The company’s headquarters in Yanjing is short-staffed right now, so it’s relatively safe for the time being,” Chen Yuetan said. “But you’d better not have any contact with anyone from the company.”

"Why?" Chen Ji frowned.

He really wanted to take this opportunity to investigate the area around the company.

He, Fei'er, Du Tingfeng, and Liu Zi are all at level 2 or higher and possess a number of magical artifacts that they can use.

Bashe, chips, chainsaw, Donggui.....

Not to mention, Chen Ji has already opened the Netherworld, which is equivalent to being able to temporarily open a "domain" in reality.

It's a far cry from when he was being chased by Tang Qin.

"Wang Chao".

Chen Yuetan said solemnly.

“He is very likely in Yanjing. Yang Yu claims that he has been missing for many years, but you yourself know that he was seen just a few months ago.”

"And this person..."

Chen Yuetan paused, seemingly organizing his thoughts.

"I'm investigating something that's very likely related to Wang Chao."

"Yang Yu's hand."

hand?

Before Chen Ji could ask, Chen Yuetan's suppressed voice came:

"Yang Yu's hands do not belong to him."

"Although he hid it well, I still discovered that he was wearing someone else's skin on his hands, a skin that should never exist in reality... I thought that skin had already rotted in my last domain."

"I have absolutely no idea how he got it back."

"Belonging to his deceased fiancée."

"My teammate, Zhang Qianqian."
