Thriller Zone: From the Mental Hospital to the Ghostly World

This charge is highly targeted.

Just as they had discussed before, the prison would "customize" the charges based on Zeng Guichuan's abilities.

Zeng Guichuan's known abilities are:

[Skin glows]; once fully used, the affected person will die instantly.

[Split] can save your life and help you escape, but it seems to require consuming flesh and blood?

There's also the word "attachment".

"What exactly did Wang Chao do to his body?" Chen Ji frowned. He had met Wei Gu before. Although Wei Gu had ghost eyes, he was still considered a normal person.

But Zeng Guichuan was no different from a ghost!

The pen moved slightly in my pocket.

He bears the marks of a creator demon.

A creator ghost?

Chen Ji was taken aback. The portal to this Source Corpse was in Tuotuo Mountain, and the owner of the Tuotuo Mountain mine was none other than Zeng Guichuan...

and many more.

"You mean he has some kind of 'waste' on him?"

【perhaps】

I had a strange feeling when I pinned him down.

Very faint

Fleeting

The last time I felt this way with a fountain pen was with Xu Sandao...

Chen Ji's heart sank. It was indeed possible that Zeng had possessed scrap materials, because he knew where Tuotuo Mountain was and had personally experienced the strange events of that year.

And the waste material really does shine.

He had suspected before that the company had gone to find the Creator.

But most importantly, apart from the tiny bit on the pen and Xu Sandao's A-grade artifact, the other four and a half pieces of scrap were not brought out and are still in Tuotuo Mountain!

Even if the other party has truly entered the realm of the Creator Ghost, the piece on his body might not necessarily be leftover from forging a fountain pen.

Chen Ji became wary, turned around and walked towards Zhang Cheng, giving him some brief instructions.

Taking away half a stone slab, the two did not linger there. Their immediate priority was to find Xu Chuan.

The crime of secession also inadvertently implicated Xu Chuan.

The punishment is simple and direct: the armored demon will eliminate the split parts.

The clanging of metal could be heard continuously outside.

Because Chen Ji's theft conviction was still pending, the two did not leave through the main entrance, but instead went down the elevator deep inside the execution ground to the second floor and entered the restaurant.

Here, they met the boys from the soccer team again, but this time was different...

This time, they were very quiet.

The restaurant grew even darker, and in the shadows, several figures all had their heads bowed, creating an atmosphere that was unsettlingly eerie.

Where is Xu Chuan?

Chen asked directly.

The fat man who had been talking to Chen Ji slowly raised his head.

Zhang Cheng's breath hitched for a second. He immediately turned to look at Chen Ji and saw that the other man's expression had also changed slightly.

On this round, chubby face, the features looked like paint had been spilled, melting into chaotic clumps of color. This was completely different from when Chen Ji first saw them!

Only then did Chen Ji notice that it wasn't just the fat man...

This applies to everyone's face, and even their body!

Even the tables and chairs in restaurants are gradually becoming 2D, just like the textured furniture next to residential houses.

The fat man uttered a few syllables indistinctly.

His body, as it made the sound, slowly collapsed.

"what happens?!"

Zhang Cheng stared in horror at the scene before him. Like burning candles, these boys were melting one after another. The thin boy in the farthest distance had his legs completely turned into a pool of color and melted into the floor tiles!

"Xu Sandao is in trouble."

Chen Ji's heart sank. These people were projections of Xu Sandao's memories!

There are only two possibilities.

First, the real-life Xu Sandao couldn't hold on any longer.

Secondly, Xu Chuan, who represents the will of Xu Sandao in the Netherworld, is in crisis.

Therefore, these images in his subconscious gradually dissipated.

Regardless of the possibility, it will ultimately lead to Xu Sandao suffering severe damage, possibly even becoming a vegetable, which also points to one outcome:

The Netherworld either closes itself or collapses completely.

Without saying a word, the two immediately pushed the door open a crack, and could hear heavy footsteps coming from inside the house.

Followed by.

The spiral staircase leading down from the third floor has doors that open automatically without any wind.

boom!

boom!

A squad of armored soldiers marched in unison, surrounding a massive figure—the Enforcer!

Behind the law enforcement officer...

That was Xu Chuan.

He was chained and stumbled along, looking in the direction the group of ghosts were heading towards the prison downstairs!

In the blink of an eye, the ghost came downstairs.

"Is Xu Chuan still going to wait there to be tortured?"

Zhang Cheng's gaze followed Xu Chuan until the other's figure disappeared into the foyer, at which point he turned to look at Chen Ji.

Chen Ji was holding half a stone slab in his hand.

His brows furrowed, but there was no explanation of how he would be punished for this particular crime!

It only has four simple words:

[It varies from person to person]

Not long after, a loud noise was heard coming from the house.

"Zeng Guichuan is there."

Chen Ji said, "The armored ghost has found him."

At this moment, the armored ghosts who were chasing Xu Chuan had already gone upstairs.

Chen Ji gripped the key tightly in his hand. Fortunately, he hadn't thrown the cell key into the atonement box in an attempt to atone for his sins.

"Walk."

He whispered, "Let's break them out of prison."

He glanced one last time at the flat dining table, and then, together with Zhang Cheng, slipped out the door.

The restaurant was completely empty.

It was as silent as a tomb.

All the boys had melted away and vanished, leaving the floor tiles mottled and broken.

The room grew darker and darker; the candle was about to burn out...

suddenly.

Sparks flew everywhere, and the candle flame, as if stimulated, suddenly shot up a lot higher!

The entire restaurant was illuminated as if it were daytime.

As the light reappeared, the colored blocks on the ground slowly rose and gradually transformed into human shapes.

The table, which looked like a sticker, has become fuller and more realistic.

After a few seconds.

The fat man reappeared at the dining table.

A hint of confusion flickered across his round face, but he quickly asked:

"Has the captain not arrived yet?"

"It will be soon," someone said.

"Ok."

The fat man sighed helplessly, but soon he started chatting enthusiastically with the other boys around him.

The door was kicked open with a bang.

A pale-faced man with an extremely bizarre appearance walked in, looking disheveled. His body was swollen like a balloon, as if it would burst at the slightest touch.

The man slowly approached the chubby boy.

His body was almost twice the size of the fat man's, and his hand trembled as he reached out towards the fat man, a cruel glint flashing in his eyes.

Snapped!

The fat man seemed unaware of his presence, letting the man touch his face.

A few seconds later.

The fat man's body was rapidly losing weight, and his face was gradually turning pale, as if his flesh and blood had been sucked away.

A hint of color returned to the man's skin, and he tightened his grip, as if trying to draw more flesh and blood. But the next second, his body jerked away as if he had been electrocuted.

A hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, and as he reached out his hand again, he heard the sound of the armored ghost's footsteps outside.

In an instant, he transformed into a human skin and rushed towards the execution ground like lightning.

A few seconds later, a squad of armored ghosts mechanically walked into the house.

They searched the house for a while before turning and leaving.

Within ten minutes, three groups of people/ghosts entered the restaurant, but it did not affect the group of football players' conversation and laughter.

The fat man was still chatting.

The fat man's face became rounder again.

As the fat man was talking, he suddenly frowned and looked at the clock on the wall that had no hands: "Is Xu Chuan still not done with his business?"

"very soon."

The woman beside him stood up and spoke again.
