Thriller Zone: From the Mental Hospital to the Ghostly World

In the illusion of the Slit-Mouthed Demon.

Hu Li retreated step by step, her eyes fixed on the body opposite her that looked exactly like her.

Her whole body was tense, and large beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

The strong, metallic smell of blood that gradually filled Hu Li's nostrils was a reminder of...

Death is imminent.

Just then, a buzzing noise came from the air.

Is it a chainsaw?

The chainsaw demon... is here too?

Before that sudden fear could ferment in Hu Li's heart, she heard a clear shout coming from downstairs, a dozen steps away from her!

"Hu Li, get down!"

It's Fei'er!

Chen Ji... succeeded!

He brought back reinforcements!

Without a second's hesitation, Hu Li immediately turned around and ran downstairs!

At the bottom of the illusion, Fei'er slowly walked up the steps.

She held up a chainsaw as long as her upper body, its teeth spinning at high speed, emitting a cold, sharp edge!

In Fei'er's sight, Hu Li moved quickly, descending the steps in a few steps and getting to within a meter of her.

But ghosts are much faster, far surpassing the speed of humans.

This is why Fei'er didn't let Hu Li run out directly.

Even if Fei'er tears a hole in the illusion...

But Hu Li wouldn't even make it to the exit before she was killed!

In the blink of an eye, the slit-mouthed demon had already darted behind Hu Li and reached out to grab her head.

An extremely bizarre scene unfolded in the stairwell: two identical Hu Lis almost overlapped!

"bend over!"

Fei shouted, pushed off the ground with her little leather shoes, and actually used the momentum to leap directly upwards. The chainsaw swept across, and it looked like it was about to hit the head of the slit-mouthed ghost!

However, Hu Li is right in front of the Slit-Mouthed Demon, and she will be the first to have her head cut off.

In that instant, her flexibility as a dance teacher came into play, and using her waist as the core, she managed to bend her upper body down ninety degrees.

The serrated edge only grazed Hu Li's flying hair, cutting off half of it.

A scream of extreme pain and rage rang out at that moment!

Hu Li fell to the ground, immediately propped herself up, and looked back.

Her eyes widened instantly.

The incredibly sharp serrations, emitting a whirring sound of obstruction, were stuck in the cleaving-mouthed demon's neck.

Its pale neck immediately gushed forth a torrent of black blood, and as the chainsaw was pulled out, only a tiny bit remained attached to its head.

Hu Li was horrified!

The slit-mouthed demon looked exactly like her, and she felt as if she were witnessing her own neck being slashed in half from a third-person perspective!

The chainsaw shrank rapidly and returned to Phil's hand.

Suddenly, ripples and cracks appeared in the surrounding air.

Chen Ji, who had been in a daze, seemed to only just come to his senses now, and he immediately turned around to look.

The illusion that Phil opened and closed in a second was now on the verge of collapse, with the entrance to the lobby faintly visible at the bottom of the stairs.

"go!"

After saying that, Chen Ji immediately pulled Hu Li behind him, while he stepped forward and hugged Fei'er.

Fei'er... can no longer walk on her own.

Her neck, like the gaping-mouthed demon screaming in agony upstairs, had been almost completely severed.

The head, which had been as exquisite as a doll, now lay askew to one side, and blood gushed out from the carotid artery like seawater, instantly staining Phil's gorgeous dress red.

This is a side effect of chainsaws.

All damage inflicted on a ghost will be returned to you.

Chen Ji's hands trembled as he looked at Fei'er's porcelain-white face, which dimmed in seconds due to blood loss.

For the first time, he felt such genuine despair for the domain!

...and powerlessness.

Because the cleaving-mouthed demon upstairs, facing this certain death wound, had a severed neck...

It is still being repaired slowly.

Ghosts don't die.

It cannot be killed by humans.

It will be fully restored in a few minutes.

Chen Ji, carrying Fei'er's petite, cat-like body, rushed down the stairs and tumbled into the lobby.

Behind him, Zuo Shiming immediately closed the door to the stairwell.

The Slit-Mouthed Demon is restricted; once it leaves the stairwell, it will no longer be pulled into the illusion.

Chen Ji gently placed Fei'er on the sofa, his breathing rapid, his heart feeling as if it were being squeezed tightly by a hand!

The blood on her body had completely stained her milky white dress red.

At this moment, Hu Li noticed Fei'er's condition and her whole body stiffened.

In such a short time, from last night until now...

First it was Murong Qing, then Yuan Yuan, and now even Fei'er is on the verge of death.

Even in the previous cycles, Hu Li had never felt such a deep-seated despair!

The cruelty of the domain was fully displayed before Hu Li's eyes.

Zuo Shiming, with an extremely solemn expression, immediately walked to Fei'er's side.

He shoved Chen Ji aside, then opened Fei'er's teddy bear handbag and rummaged inside.

Less than two seconds later, Zuo Shiming relaxed and took out a small bottle from inside, which immediately attracted the attention of Hu Li and Chen Ji.

It looks like... a wine bottle?

The brown bottle still contained more than half a bottle of liquid, and there were some characters on the outside that Chen Ji could not understand.

"what is this?"

Chen Ji immediately asked, and judging from Zuo Shiming's actions, it seemed that he had known about the existence of the wine bottle all along.

"A strange creature."

Zuo Shiming said, unscrewing the bottle and very carefully dripping a few drops of liquid into Fei'er's slightly open mouth.

Seconds later, something bizarre happened: a gaping wound appeared on Phil's neck...

Surprisingly, it closed up bit by bit!

Although the process was extremely slow, all three people present could clearly see that the muscles and nerves were being repaired little by little.

"this....."

Chen Ji's pupils dilated in shock; he felt this was too much of a bug.

No one expected that Fei'er not only had monsters, but two of them!

Their abilities even complement each other perfectly!

Five minutes later, the repair stalled.

However, a few centimeters of blood still remained on Phil's neck.

Zuo Shiming sighed helplessly, reopened the bottle, and as soon as a tiny drop of liquid flowed into Fei'er's mouth, he immediately screwed the cap back on.

Is this enough?

Hu Li was a little anxious, as Zuo Shiming had poured almost nothing.

"Mr. Zuo, why didn't you pour more? Fei'er has lost so much blood!"

The remaining injuries were finally repaired, and Zuo Shiming turned around and shook his head.

"This bottle of wine cannot be wasted."

"The moment it's finished, that's the moment Phil's life ends..."

"When you reach the end."

Chen Ji was shocked. Zuo Shiming's words implied that the liquid in the bottle represented Fei'er's lifespan in the real world.

The wine in the bottle was only a little over half full.

In other words, if Phil originally had forty years to live, now she only has twenty-odd years left.

At this moment, when he looked at the bottle again, he no longer felt that it was similar to a healing potion in a game.

Instead... a bottle of poison exuding a sinister, ghostly aura, and brimming with insatiable greed!

Zuo Shiming didn't explain further. He sat to the side, looking at Fei'er's pale face with some worry.

Trading future lifespan for a brief existence...

This was the first strange item that Fei'er obtained:

[Perfect Deal]

Zuo Shiming knew this because he had experienced the exact same situation in a certain domain.

That time, Fei'er saved him, but the price was that both of her legs were severed.

"Um....."

A soft hum came from the sofa.

Fei'er slowly opened her eyes. The wound on her neck had been mostly healed.

The next second, she immediately sat up from the sofa and turned around to stare straight at Chen Ji.

"Let's go."

"what?"

Zuo Shiming was completely bewildered.

Hu Li thought Fei'er was still not awake, so she quickly explained:

"Fei'er, don't worry, we've all escaped."

"I know."

Fei'er said, turning to face Chen Ji: "Didn't you say you were going to pry open the elevator?"

"Actually, there's no need to be in such a rush..."

Chen Ji felt somewhat embarrassed; this was a whispered remark he made to himself before entering the illusion.

Unexpectedly, Fei'er overheard it.

"Wait, what are you talking about?"

Zuo Shiming frowned, somewhat confused. There was a ghost in the elevator; this was something everyone knew from the second loop.

Why did Chen Ji try to break into the elevator?

Chen Ji remained silent for a moment.

After a while, he slowly spoke.

"I have a guess."

"I think we... are already dead."

"The body is in the elevator on the left."
