Thriller Zone: From the Mental Hospital to the Ghostly World

Jingle Bell--

The school's wake-up bell had already rung, its faint sound reaching Chen Ji's ears across the river.

On a sunny morning after the rain, the sun shone brightly and warmly on the earth, but none of this mattered to Chen Ji.

He could only struggle to swim deeper into the icy river, fighting for his life!

If you give him just one more day, just one more day, until tomorrow, the pen will be able to revive.

But Hong Tian's condition forced them to get into the water as soon as possible.

Chen Ji gritted his teeth. He thought he wouldn't feel pain after he became a floating corpse, but it turned out he could still clearly feel the excruciating pain from the gash that pierced his entire back.

after all.....

What injured him was the core ghost of this domain.

This ghost could kill Huang Ying in the blink of an eye, not to mention that Chen Ji is, after all, still human.

The speed of a vengeful ghost is simply incomparable to that of a human.

It caught up with Chen Ji with almost no effort, leaving a shocking wound on his body, before suddenly slowing down.

Chen Ji understood perfectly.

Since the ghost could touch his back, it could easily grab him.

It didn't do that, simply because... it didn't want to capture Chen Ji.

To be precise, they didn't want to kill Chen Ji so quickly.

It's playing around.

Just like a cat catching a mouse, it catches it again and again, and only when the mouse is covered in wounds and exhausted and can no longer run away... will it eat the mouse.

despair.

hope.

Despair again.

This is the expression the vengeful ghost wanted to see on Chen Ji's face.

Amidst his chaotic thoughts, Chen Ji suddenly felt a chill down his spine. Immediately afterward, his face contorted in pain, and his mouth snapped open, spitting out a string of bubbles!

Just like peeling the skin off a sausage, the skin on the back of Chen Ji's legs was "swished" away from his thighs to his ankles.

The ghost even thoughtfully avoided his muscles and Achilles tendon.

To prevent Chen Ji from being unable to escape again.

It hasn't had enough fun yet.

no.....

We can't keep swimming blindly like this...

Otherwise, this ghost will torment you to death sooner or later.

Chen Ji's hand trembled as he reached into his pocket, and as if he knew he needed it, a small snake slid into his palm.

With its tiny eyes fixed on Chen Ji, the Bashe licked his palm with its tongue.

【Combined】

Chen Ji silently recited the command and threw the snake backward!

The serpent's mouth opened wide in an instant, its bluish-black scales undulating like waves, and violent convulsions spread upwards along its spine.

A few seconds later, it suddenly arched its body and vomited out a skeleton.

It's not too big, after all, Chen Ji has never overeaten in the domain, and this isn't his Netherworld.

It is an elephant bone.

The two sharp horns on the skull pierced straight into the black-clad demon's body, about to pierce him through—

fail.

The elephant's horn was blocked by a cement wall; no matter what it did, it could not pierce the red light beside the evil spirit.

The ghost tilted its head, and the smile on its face slowly disappeared.

It floated in place expressionlessly, its entire body wrapped in a thick layer of flesh and blood, surrounded by a faint red light, like a dome.

Only complete words can break through the barrier.

Chen Ji's pupils contracted slightly; he had never seen a vengeful ghost possess this ability before...

Wan Chengzhong's corpse reappeared in his mind.

He now finally knows who took the life-saving A-grade ghost.

Without saying a word, Chen Ji turned around and swam!

The elephant bone stopped attacking and instead followed the Bashe back to Chen Ji's side, where it could maintain its position for a while longer.

Despite the excruciating pain, Chen Ji's mind raced; the elephant bone wouldn't last until he reunited with the others, and once it disappeared, he would inevitably be attacked by the vengeful ghost again.

and.....

Judging from the ghost's appearance, it seemed to have gotten bored of playing with it soon.

Now how to do?

Doesn't this ghost have any weaknesses?

Chen Ji unconsciously stroked the pen, trying to calm himself down.

Although he knew the pen was still dormant, as were his other strange objects—

and many more.

Chen Ji's hand froze.

His eyes flickered with uncertainty as he silently pulled his hand out of his pocket and clenched it into a fist.

Then it turned around and swam towards the light above his head!

That's the surface of the water.

Almost unleashing his full potential, Chen Ji swung his legs rapidly, his eyes fixed on that light!

Gradually, his body grew warmer and warmer, and the sunlight reflected off the water and shone on him.

Five meters....

The riverbank is now clearly visible.

Three meters....

The dark blue-black body of the Bashe snake was suddenly stained with a layer of gray.

The elephant bone vanished in an instant.

Chen felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, his blood vessels almost frozen by the malice behind him.

One meter...

He pushed upwards with all his might, and his upper body immediately emerged from the water!

The sunlight was so bright that Chen Ji's vision went white, but it was very warm, and the riverbank was just ahead!

With a flick of his hand, the next second, his legs were violently pulled downwards, dragging him back into the water.

An extremely strong sense of crisis suddenly swept over his entire body!

The vengeful ghost... is about to make its move.

In a flash, Chen Ji had a sudden thought.

Wow!

Water splashed everywhere.

The hand gripping Chen Ji's ankle instantly released its grip, and immediately afterward, the black-clad ghost's body was pulled out of the water!

Chen Ji's two arms turned to wood within a second.

The wood grain wanted to continue spreading, but just as it was about to reach Chen Ji's shoulder, a furry hand stopped it on his shoulder.

Ultimately, the wood grain did not extend beyond the hand... the claw.

Chen Ji had no time to pay attention to any of this; his face was tense as he dived upwards.

Just as he hoped...

The riverbank was completely empty.

After climbing up the riverbank, Chen Ji quickly found a small, broken wooden puppet arm in the damp mud and sand, with a hard card between its fingers.

It was this severed arm of the puppet that he threw onto the riverbank that, just as Wan Xiaoshuang said, "clamped" away the black-clad ghost.

At the last moment, Chen Ji finally realized that even the black-clad ghost had a weakness.

Its weakness is that it cannot go ashore... at most, it can only reach the shallows.

But this ghost is incredibly cunning; it never touches the land, and even when it surfaces, it stays far from the riverbank.

Only by using oneself as bait can one lure it ashore.

The price paid was that the puppet was completely destroyed.

Chen Ji touched his pocket, and sure enough, the remaining body of the puppet in his pocket had also been shattered into pieces.

Fortunately, this was Wan Chengzhong's strange object to begin with, so he wasn't too heartbroken.

Pick up the card from the puppet's hand; it only has one sentence written on it.

[One for one.]

And a single, never-falling, dark green droplet of water condenses on the card.

There should have been a few more lines below, which were the original method of substitution, but they are now blurred and indistinct.

This is the card Huang Ying received...

Yes, this time it's the A-level monster in the domain.

It combines the abilities of two core demons from different domains, as well as their resentment.

Chen Ji stared at the card, and in the water droplets, he could vaguely see the venomous face of the black-clad ghost.

Looking at this face, Chen Ji thought of Huang Ying and Teacher Zhan, and couldn't help but feel a sense of disgust.

Just as he was about to put the card back in his pocket, he suddenly saw a strange smile on the ghostly face.

It flashed by.

It was just his illusion.

"......"

Chen Ji frowned.

He always felt that this ghost was hiding something.

Red backpack... Is it a tour group, or a junior high school student?

Turning to look at Jia Guhe, a deep weariness overwhelmed Chen Ji's mind.

But he cannot rest.

it's not finished yet!

Chen Ji jumped into the river and swam toward Zhang Wenxuan's rock, his immediate priority being to rejoin his teammates.

at this time......

Chen Ji's eyes suddenly narrowed.

In the dark green river water, a glittering object shimmered faintly.
