Thriller Zone: From the Mental Hospital to the Ghostly World

Two men and a woman ran over. The tallest boy looked around anxiously, but he didn't see the person he was looking for.

"Why are there so many people?"

Zhang Cheng stared in surprise at the several cars parked across the dead-end intersection, all of which had black license plates.

"It's alright." The blond man next to him helped him to his side. "He's an official."

Zhang Cheng nodded blankly and took the energy drink handed to him by the blond man.

I always feel that this person looks familiar.

"I am Liu Zi."

The blond man said, looking at him with a strange expression, "You really haven't been to the domain?"

Zhang Cheng shook his head.

"You're an amazing person too." Liu Zi patted him on the shoulder admiringly. "How did you survive?"

"It's a long story..." Zhang Cheng smiled helplessly, "A lot has happened."

"Do you know Zeng Guichuan? He's in there too."

Liu Zi's smile froze instantly.

He seemed unable to believe his ears and asked incredulously, "Who did you say?"

"Zeng Guichuan".

Zhang Cheng repeated, looking at Chen Ji: "Chen Ji killed him."

Beside the car, Chen Jizheng and Du Tingfeng were whispering to each other.

Both of them looked tense.

A short while later, Du Tingfeng came over and said to a man wearing glasses, "Mr. Zhao, call an ambulance first."

The man nodded.

Du Tingfeng went back and, together with Chen Ji, opened the Cullinan's door.

Both of them held their breath for a moment.

In the driver's seat, the red-haired man... had no color in his skin, only a deathly pale blue.

A black cloth covered his chest, completely soaked with blood, which dripped down to form a small pool at Xu Sandao's feet.

This amount of bleeding is almost enough to spell Xu Sandao's death!

But Chen Ji noticed that the other person was still breathing shallowly, only very faintly.

He understood that if the Netherworld had remained open for any longer, Xu Sandao would have truly lost his life.

As the fabric was slowly lifted, a long and deep wound came into view, so deep that the bone was visible, and Chen Ji could even vaguely see the internal organs inside.

The reason he didn't die....

Chen Ji's expression was complicated as he looked at Xu Sandao's face, which was both familiar and strange, as it once belonged to a ghost.

He didn't tell anyone about it.

Someone called his name from behind.

"Chen Ji!"

Chen Ji turned his head, startled, and exclaimed in surprise, "Zhao Xun?"

Zhao Xun, from the Three Monkeys Domain, almost died in the "Silent" stage, but was saved by himself and Zhang Wenyi, and actually made it into the Thirteenth Bureau!

Du Tingfeng had already informed him that the people from the Yanjing branch of the Thirteenth Bureau had arrived.

This was undoubtedly confessed by Chen Yuetan.

Zhao Xun wiped his sweat. He had come here with the people from the branch office after receiving the call.

"In the end what happened?"

Chen Ji briefly explained some of the previous events to him, saying that Zeng Guichuan wanted to kill Xu Sandao to silence him, which led to Xu Sandao being forced to open the Netherworld.

"Two directors have arrived at the company."

Chen Ji said he knew that Zhao Xun, as a member of the Thirteenth Bureau, should know something about this.

"One is already dead, and we have a lot of evidence against him; the other is called Bat, and he escaped."

After thinking for a moment, Chen Ji added, "He has a powerful life-saving artifact in his possession, which he used up one of his lives to get out."

"However, they must be severely weakened now and have already fled."

After recording the necessary information, Zhao Xun looked at Chen Ji, who was unharmed, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"I never expected..." Zhao Xun said with a wry smile, "that we would meet again in real life."

Chen Ji shook his head slightly; he hadn't expected to meet Zhao Xun again.

The two didn't say much.

After confirming Chen Ji's safety, Zhao Xun exchanged contact information with him and then returned to his unit, as he still had a lot of follow-up work to do.

An ambulance arrived and took Xu Sandao to the hospital.

The rain has stopped.

It was already late at night.

Sitting on a bench in the science park, Fei'er, Liu Zi, Du Tingfeng, Chen Ji, and Zhang Cheng finally had time to talk about what had happened before.

Aside from the secret of Xu Sandao's face, Chen Ji told everyone everything else in detail.

When everyone learned that Xu Sandao was Luo Lin's son, they fell silent.

"But... this can be considered a good ending."

Liu Zi sighed and said, "After so many years of lying low, he has finally gotten his revenge."

Zhang Cheng nodded. Zeng Guichuan's agonizing screams as he was eaten alive by the snake did not evoke any pity in him; on the contrary, he felt only pleasure.

"Zhang Cheng, thank you."

Du Tingfeng turned around, a trace of worry still in his eyes. If it weren't for chasing Du Muyu, Zhang Cheng wouldn't have been involved in the Netherworld.

They already knew that Zhang Cheng also played a decisive role in this Netherworld.

"you're good."

Fei'er nodded slightly to Zhang Cheng, "It can be said that most veteran entrants to the domain do not react as quickly as you."

Zhang Cheng smiled somewhat embarrassedly.

"I wish you could be our teammate..." Liu Zi muttered.

"..."

Still not working.

Zhang Cheng didn't dare to reply. After this experience, he realized how precious his life as an ordinary person was.

He glanced at Chen Ji, who had been deep in thought beside him, and pursed his lips.

Zhang Cheng still couldn't forget the words Zeng Guichuan said before he died.

"Chen Ji..."

He couldn't help but ask, "Everything Zeng Guichuan said was a lie, right?"

Chen Ji was silent for two seconds before taking out the fountain pen. At this moment, the fountain pen was extremely dull, and even the scrap was dusty.

"What Zeng Guichuan said was actually meant to provoke me into reacting so that I could find a loophole and see through him."

The scrap material on Zeng Guichuan belongs to Lao Sun, and his ability should be that anyone who sees his face will die.

However, Zeng Guichuan himself would also pay a heavy price for using this waste material.

Seeing that he couldn't bring himself to do it to Chen Ji, he tried to rush towards Xu Chuan, destroy Xu Chuan's head, and kill everyone in the Netherworld.

However, it didn't work.

but.....

“Zeng Guichuan himself doesn’t care at all whether I am a sinner or whether I will start the end of the world.”

Chen Ji smiled and said, "He himself has become a ghost. Would he still care about ordinary people being killed by ghosts?"

"The fundamental reason he wanted to kill me from beginning to end... was because Wang Chao told him years ago that he would be killed by me on a rainy night."

Du Tingfeng frowned:

"Wang Chao? How did you know?"

"Netherworld - Fate," Chen Ji said softly.

"Not long after it started, I saw a series of scenes, including a conversation between Zeng Guichuan and Wang Chao."

"I think that's because being killed by me was Zeng Guichuan's destiny."

"And then there was the scene where they went into the great tomb. By then, the portrait had already been scratched. Wang Chao stood in front of the prophecy mural for a very long time."

What else did you see?

"I asked with a tense face."

“I saw Zhang Cheng.” Chen Ji pointed at Zhang Cheng and said jokingly, “He’s going to buy a new car.”

Zhang Cheng silently gripped his phone, which was still displaying the screen showing the huge transfer Du Tingfeng had made to him.

“...That’s not what Fei’er asked.”

Du Tingfeng murmured.

Chen Ji gazed silently at the night sky.

On a night after the rain, the moon and stars were bright.

The stars twinkle in the night sky, like an everlasting galaxy, illuminating the world in the past, present, and future.

"I saw Chen Ji."

"Chen Ji is sitting on your corpses."

Chen Ji's voice was very soft: "There's not a trace of humanity on his face, that's not me."

He turned his head, looking at Du Tingfeng, Fei'er, and Liu Zi, his eyes filled with an unfathomable darkness.

"But... I saw it too."

"In another scene, you are all still here, and none of you are dead."

"I've been wondering, which one is real and which one is fake?"

"I figured it out later."

He said slowly, "I am a human now, not a corpse, otherwise Gui Su would not accept me."

"Assuming I really do become a Source Corpse, that's a future possibility."

"Since it's the future, it can be changed."

“After all…” Chen Ji stared at the pen. “It’s not like I haven’t tried to change my fate.”
