Thriller Zone: From the Mental Hospital to the Ghostly World

How much longer until we reach our destination?

Beside the sedan chair, Chen Ji gazed into the distance, where a single spark of light flickered in and out of the darkness.

They were still heading north, but Chen Ji had a vague premonition that the mourning journey might end sooner than expected.

Because there were only four sacrificial items: a paper car and paper ingots, which had already been burned; the paper money was taken away by Wu Hui and her companion, and the paper house had been destroyed in order to retrieve the key.

There is not much time left for them.

Now, he and Fei'er only have one path left: to kill the two paper figures that have taken over their bodies.

The problem is that the paper figure isn't even in the group.

Just then, a rustling sound rang out, and Phil, who had gone to the back of the line, returned.

"We still can't get out." She shook her head. "It's like there's an invisible wall behind us; we can't break away from the group."

Chen Ji sighed. As expected, they were still trapped in the mourning procession.

This means they are in a very passive position, and can only wait for the paper figures to return, but the paper figures may never return, after all, they have already completed their task of delivering the sedan chair!

"Can the pen still be used?" Fei asked sullenly.

All the strange creatures were gone from her body, and she was now no different from an ordinary person. This feeling of powerlessness made her very uncomfortable, as if she had returned to the first domain.

The pen does indeed have one more chance to be used.

However, Chen Ji was unsure whether the pen would actually be of any use in this situation.

"A fountain pen," Chen Ji murmured silently.

"If I use the Fate-Changing Technique, can you take us out of the group?"

A few seconds later, a lazy yawn echoed in his mind:

If you can activate it, then you can.

But is it necessary?

Even if you get out, you might not be able to find those two paper figures.

Even if you find it, it will be too late.

"Do you know where they went?" Chen keenly caught the meaning in the pen's tone.

How would I know?

[Just speculation]

Do you want to know?

Chen Ji gave a helpless "hmm," the pen practically saying, "Come and ask me."

The pen gave a strange laugh before replying:

I guess...they followed that unlucky guy.

Bad luck?

Chen Ji was taken aback, then his heart sank: "You mean Feng Yao?"

【uh-huh】

Only ghosts understand ghosts.

Those two paper figures have their eyes on her.

How can it be?

Chen Ji couldn't understand why the paper figures, which corresponded to their curse, would be targeting Feng Yao so specifically.

Will the death prophecy of the demon eye affect another curse?

Or......

Chen Ji suddenly remembered the phone call Du Tingfeng had received earlier.

The phone call came from Zhou Liangjia's ghost, whose words revealed a strong murderous intent towards Feng Yao.

Zhou Liang's vow was to find six curses for the Great Ghost. He was the one who initially bought the paper figures from the funeral shop, which means that the source of the curse, the paper figures, was likely created by the Great Ghost.

"It's not that the paper doll is targeting Feng Yao."

Chen Ji understood in an instant: "It was that giant ghost that wanted to kill her!"

His nerves immediately tightened; the matter here wasn't over yet, and danger was already approaching Feng Yao.

But why did the big ghost have to target him? Was it because he had discovered Zhou Liang's secret?

Just as Chen Ji was pondering, the pen continued:

That's why I said it wasn't necessary.

It's no use you going.

They're probably back at the crossroads by now.

Judging by the time, Feng Yao and Wu Hui have been gone for quite some time.

Chen Ji knew very well that finding the paper figure before the funeral ceremony ended was practically a pipe dream.
