Thriller Zone: From the Mental Hospital to the Ghostly World

Meanwhile, the boy said that when he was put in jail, all the cells were empty.

Du Muyu never appeared.

In other words, she didn't "run away," but was never caught.

The question now is, are law enforcement officers still pursuing her?

Chen Ji pondered. He was in the middle of the group, a perfect spot for surveillance.

Zhang Cheng was in the safest position at the rear, while the boy was in the front.

None of the people Chen Ji knew who had entered the Netherworld were this age, and both their entry into the Netherworld and their amnesia were inexplicable, which made people wary.

The three of them quickly returned to the second floor.

Zhang Cheng was terrified.

He didn't know much about the background, and had never been inside the domain. All he knew was a simple piece of advice:

"Enforcers are ghosts; they kill people, and you can't confront them directly."

The three of them moved furtively in the shadows like thieves, afraid that the law enforcement officer might suddenly appear behind them at any moment.

Zhang Cheng said in a breathy voice, "After I was dragged down from the study, I tripped on the threshold in the middle."

"You should have to go into one of the rooms to find the stairs to the third floor."

The fortress was constructed much like a medieval castle; the ladder they had just come up from the prison was a spiral staircase that only connected to the second floor.

At the corner of the fortress.

After exiting, they passed through the entrance hall and arrived at the main hall where Chen Ji had just entered the Netherworld.

There are four doors along the wall here.

Just as they were about to investigate one by one, suddenly, everyone's eyes were flashed.

A bolt of lightning struck outside the window, illuminating half of the hall!

They could also clearly see the wet marks on the floor.

The road winds its way out from the depths of darkness.

At the end, there was a half-open door next to it.

Thunder followed immediately...

A rumbling sound, incredibly oppressive, and continuous.

Several seconds later, the sound slowly disappeared, leaving only the dripping sound of raindrops hitting the stone window sill.

The very next second after the thunder disappeared, without any warning, another heavy sound of footsteps followed.

boom!boom!

Accompanied by the clanking of chains, and very close to them...

Enforcer!

Chen Ji suddenly raised his head, staring intently at the shadows deep in the hall, grabbed Zhang Cheng and the boy with both hands, and quickly retreated!

The agility bonus from Nightwalking made him incredibly nimble, and he slipped into the hallway in a flash!

Zhang Cheng's heart pounded. He huddled beside the archway in the foyer and saw once again the huge headless corpse, dressed in pure black armor, like the Grim Reaper!

and......

"There's blood on its chains!"

But this wasn't the case when Zhang Cheng was caught.

Chen Ji also noticed this, and his heart sank.

"Oh no, it's found us!" the boy muttered rapidly behind him.

"Chen Ji, you'd better swallow the key right now, or you'll be charged with theft if the stolen goods are caught!"

Chen Ji did not answer.

His expression slowly turned strange, and after a few seconds, he turned around and abruptly asked:

Have I told you my name?

Rumble!

Another bolt of lightning struck, illuminating the boy's mangled face.

His flesh was a bloody mess, charred from repeated branding, unrecognizable as human. He opened his mouth slightly, looking confused, and said:

"You mentioned it?"

Amidst the muffled thunder, Chen Ji heard him say in a low voice, "Didn't you tell Zhang Cheng as soon as you came in? I heard you from next door."

Chen Ji was stunned for a moment, and just then, Zhang Cheng, who was at the front, nudged his arm:

"Look!"

He turned around and saw that the law enforcement officer had actually pushed open a door and gone inside.

There was that wet mark right in front of the door.

The law enforcement officers are still pursuing prisoner number 001, namely Du Muyu!

Chen Ji understood instantly.

"That room is inaccessible," Zhang Cheng said softly. "Could the stairs be there?"

Chen Ji shook his head; he didn't know either, so he could only go and check out the other rooms.

The three of them went into the leftmost room first.

Inside was a long, dark corridor.

The journey was completely quiet, with only occasional rumbles of thunder.

As the rain poured down, Zhang Cheng gradually calmed down, his thoughts drifting away...

Zhang Cheng lived a very normal life for the first thirty years of his life. He went to university, pursued a master's degree, and was both smart and lucky, passing the interviews at a major company.

However, an accident on the high-speed train led Zhang Cheng into a terrifying world he had never experienced before.

It was like a nightmare.

But he did not regret helping Du Tingfeng in the past.

He himself has siblings and can understand how anxious Du Tingfeng must have felt after his family members went missing.

Regardless of the circumstances, even if he were just an ordinary person, he would do his best to work with Xiao Chen to get Du Muyu out of there.

Then we need to shut down the "Netherworld".

First, we need to study the operating mechanism of this Netherworld.

Zhang Cheng noticed that there were a total of six cells in the prison. Did this mean that there were still four unsolved crimes?

Currently known offenses include theft and trespassing...

The more Du Muyu explores the castle, the greater the possibility of committing other crimes. Du Muyu must be guilty of trespassing. I wonder if there are any other crimes he has committed?

Also, Xiao Chen said that they need to find something to close the Netherworld, but its exact appearance is unknown.

The law enforcement officer was a headless corpse.

Could it be the head of law enforcement?

Zhang Cheng's heart stirred slightly. He was about to tell the others about this idea when suddenly, the surroundings darkened abruptly!

A shadow fell over his entire body.

The area was so large that it even covered the black-haired boy in front of him.

wow-

Zhang Cheng froze, his scalp tingling instantly!

He had heard that sound not long ago... it was the enforcer's chains!

Isn't it chasing Du Muyu?

wow-

The three of them ran forward like madmen almost simultaneously!

The black-haired boy was incredibly fast, almost like an athlete. In the blink of an eye, he reached the end of the passage and disappeared around the corner.

Zhang Cheng was trembling all over, his limbs were out of control, and he could only run numbly.

Behind him, the sound of chains dragging on the ground grew closer and closer...

Suddenly, his shoulder slumped, and something cold struck Zhang Cheng hard!

He was in so much pain that his vision went black and he collapsed to the ground.

The law enforcement officer did not arrest him immediately.

It was silent, as if it was thinking about something... What was it?

Zhang Cheng suddenly had a flash of inspiration; he realized that law enforcement officers should have a priority in making arrests!

Why is the other party here?

Because of the boy, he committed "grand theft!"

If they can't catch Du Muyu, their next target will be the boy!

However, the boy had already run away.

Zhang Cheng scrambled to his feet in a disheveled state, but just then, the law enforcement officers moved as well.

wow-

The metal chain passed by Zhang Cheng.

The law enforcement officer strode forward heavily.

Zhang Cheng was stunned. Suddenly, he heard the sound of keys rattling.

Immediately afterward, his eyes narrowed.

At the end of the passage, a loud shout rang out, drawing all the officers' attention!

It's Chen Ji!

He stood under the candle at the corner, dangling the key in his hand, extremely conspicuous.
