Thriller Zone: From the Mental Hospital to the Ghostly World

Chapter 426 [Domain·Drowning] End

The reefs gradually came into view.

Zhu Guang finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the figure standing atop the reef.

Two short days felt like two months, but thankfully it's all over now.

but.....

He looked at Wan Xiaoshuang with a complicated expression. The other woman's lips were tightly pursed, and the anxiety in her eyes was impossible to hide.

One person hasn't returned yet.

Chen Ji.

Zhu Guang sighed silently, swam to the boy's side, and pointed to the boy's pocket.

The boy nodded somewhat awkwardly.

He lifted his pocket, revealing a paper effigy of a figure with a face painted red and green, a half-smile on its face, dressed in a burial shroud.

This is the Child's A-level ghost [Shouhui], which is now gray and dormant.

The paper figure's left arm and hair were as black as if they had been dyed with ink.

Once the entire body is polluted into this dark color, the child's lifespan will come to an end.

Don't use it a second time.

Zhu Guang gestured, saying that the side effects of the second treatment were too severe.

He already knew that the boy had used the toilet once, and the price he paid that time wasn't too high.

The boy nodded reassuringly and held up a few fingers.

Nothing.

It's because I'll try to use it less often when facing three ghosts.

This was also the first time he had actually used it since obtaining the A-rank artifact from the previous domain.

Zhu Guang forced a smile and didn't say much. He knew that the boy had overused the [Longevity Evil] to prevent future troubles and ensure everyone's survival.

He reached out and patted the boy on the shoulder. Just as the boy was about to swim forward, he suddenly noticed the water rippling behind him.

what happened?

Zhu Guang immediately turned his head and saw that the boy was leaning straight back, as if he had been knocked down by Zhu Guang.

But......

He didn't use much force, did he?

Zhu Guang was stunned for a moment. Before he could react, he and Wan Xiaoshuang instinctively grabbed the boy's leg!

But the boy was still leaning backward uncontrollably, as if a huge rock was tied to his body.

Gulu!

He seemed to realize something, his lips kept opening and closing, but water immediately poured into the boy's mouth, and no sound could be heard.

The next second...

The guide, which had been re-attached, gently floated out from the red schoolbag on the boy's back.

The zipper on the red backpack... wasn't it zipped up?

The thought flashed through Zhu Guang's mind in a blur, and then he saw a pale hand reach out from behind the boy.

Decline.

Top to bottom.

It pierced through the boy's chest.

They pulled out his heart.

Then, in a flash, the hand, grasping the boy's heart, darted back into the red schoolbag.

Time stood still.

At least that's how it is for Zhu Guang.

He stared blankly as the boy's eyes suddenly widened, his pupils shifting as he looked in his direction.

The boy's eyes were rapidly becoming unfocused.

"..."

He opened his mouth, opening and closing it several times as if he were saying something, but after spitting out a string of bubbles, he froze completely and stopped moving.

what?

What did he say to himself in the end?

Zhu Guang didn't know that he was in the water, his ears were completely gone, and he couldn't hear!

It's three words...

What is it?

Zhu Guang couldn't understand it.

He never got a chance to understand it.

His lips trembled, and his face turned ashen.

Zhu Guang tossed Hong Tian to Wan Xiaoshuang and carried the boy's corpse. On the back of the corpse, the zipper on the scarlet schoolbag had closed again, but it was still vibrating slightly.

just like......

It looked like someone was chewing something inside.

Looking at the bloated figure in front of her, Wan Xiaoshuang's face was equally ashen, her eyes filled with disbelief.

She didn't dare to stop him, even though she already knew that the middle school ghost was hiding in that schoolbag.

This is the last trap left behind by the core ghost in this domain.

She finally understood why Huang Ying had taken the red schoolbag, and she finally knew what Zhang Wenxuan wanted it for.

because......

The red schoolbag is also the medium through which the ghost of the junior high school student appears.

That's why the leather-clad ghost allowed them to take the schoolbags, because as long as the schoolbags were in their hands, the middle school ghost could find a secret opportunity to kill them one by one without anyone noticing.

The backpack was shaking more and more violently.

But they had already swum to the reef.

Actually, it's very close. It's very close to where the child died. You only need to swim a few hundred meters further... and you'll be there.

The figure on the reef slowly turned around, its face blurred as if seen through a layer of mist.

Zhang Wenxuan.

It sensed that floating corpses were approaching.

With a swift movement, it leaped down from the reef, radiating endless chill, and headed straight for the two!

But the first thing to come into contact with it was a red schoolbag, which Zhu Guang pulled off the boy's corpse and threw into Zhang Wenxuan's arms.

Just at this moment.

The red backpack stopped vibrating.

The ghost in the schoolbag had already digested the boy's heart, but it was still not satisfied!

The zipper slid open with a whoosh, and another hand reached out from inside, ready to kill the person holding the backpack!

Zhang Wenxuan grasped that hand.

With a gentle tug, it tore the hand off and tossed it aside.

Then, it reached into the pocket again, and its hand, like a pair of pliers, actually managed to pull the middle school student's twisted and folded body out of the schoolbag!

Got you.

Zhang Wenxuan murmured silently.

The next second, the middle school student ghost's entire body was torn to pieces!

Its head floated on the water, passing in front of Zhu Guang.

With a slight upturn at the corners of its mouth, the malice hidden in its smile had not yet faded. Even the dead junior high school student ghost thought it could continue to kill the next person.

With his red backpack slung over his shoulder, Zhang Wenxuan turned around and slowly pointed to the hole in the middle of the reef.

There used to be a curtain of water there, like a canopy, but now it has vanished.

Then, it swam resolutely in a certain direction...

That was the direction in which Teacher Zhan's body had drifted away.

Wan Xiaoshuang slowly turned around, hugged Hongtian to her chest, and dived into the reef. She saw another intact Hongtian lying quietly on the ground.

Put the two Hongtian together.

The creature in the reef gradually became transparent; while the symptoms of drowning on the dying Hong Tian's body slowly subsided.

The surrounding river water rippled gently, and once the replacement process was completed, the outlet of the Yuhe River would open.

She swam out of the reef and saw a figure swimming towards her in the distance... It was Chen Ji.

Chen Ji eventually returned, which proves that the vengeful spirit has at least been restrained.

everything is over.

But Wan Xiaoshuang felt only endless weariness.

She floated beside Zhu Guang, watching him place the boy on the riverbed and pull a strand of long black hair and a necklace from his pocket.

These are Li Yinghe's belongings.

The paper doll of 【Shouhui】, its hair and arms returned to white, was put into Zhu Guang's pocket.

He was still looking for something, searching every pocket, but couldn't find it.

Fortune-telling coins.

Zhu Guang gently closed his eyes. He knew that the copper coin had probably slipped out of the boy's pocket during the two chaotic moments and had long since drifted to some unknown corner of the riverbed.

Wow...

The outlet of the Yuhe River has been opened.

Wan Xiaoshuang didn't move, watching Hong Tian leave in a daze, and watching Zhu Guang sit next to the boy for a long time before stepping into the Domain River.

Not long after, Chen Ji finally swam over.

His gaze was fixed on the corpse on the riverbed, his eyes filled with blankness.

A few seconds later, as if he had just realized something, his expression suddenly changed!

Zhu Guang is gone?

Wan Xiaoshuang nodded.

Chen Ji clenched his fist and jumped into the Yu River.

Wow!

The moment Chen Ji felt the hard stone slab beneath his feet, he opened his eyes and ran straight toward the ferry!

Outside the deck, a desolate figure had just boarded the small boat.

"Zhu Guang!"

Chen Ji shouted and threw something onto the boat.

Zhu Guang's body stiffened instantly.
