Thriller Zone: From the Mental Hospital to the Ghostly World

Meanwhile, amidst the increasingly rapid flashing of lights...

stab-

stab-

From the center of the square came a sickening tearing sound.

The word "death" had flashed four times, leaving Chen Ji with only 6 seconds!

He didn't move, still keeping one leg stuck in the hole behind him.

His eyes were wide open, unblinking, as he tried to gather as much information as possible in the limited time available.

In the fraction of a second of light, Chen Ji vaguely saw...

An extremely bloody scene.

Two arms that are not human at all and are extremely twisted and deformed are cutting open the macaque's belly from the inside!

The giant macaque, however, wore a strange smile on its face.

Its hands were extremely sparsely haired, and at some point they had been raised to the sides of its face, as if to cover its eyes.

The light in the room flickered faster and became dimmer!

until--

pat.

disappear completely.

The square was silent.

All around was as dark as the polar night.

The moment darkness appeared, Chen Ji stopped and immediately shoved his entire body into the hole behind him.

At this moment, the last two beams of red light that should have appeared slowly faded in Chen Ji's pupils.

Chen Ji already knew...

Staying in the square means certain death!

Hiding anywhere won't help!

The entrance to the cave was blocked by walls on both sides, so Chen Ji couldn't see anything and could only move forward by touch.

Heart-wrenching screams echoed behind him, sending chills down his spine.

That demon has already begun slaughtering the people in the square!

The facts are already very clear: this domain belongs to the first type that Du Tingfeng once mentioned!

There is no background, no story.

The ghosts inside are extremely malevolent; anyone who violates the taboos will surely die!

So... what is the taboo this time?

Chen Ji was deep in thought when, after taking only a few steps, his head suddenly slammed into a wall. There was no way forward!

He immediately reached out and began to touch his surroundings, confirming that the left and front sides were blocked off.

Faint sounds of running and talking came from the right.

This is an inverted L-shaped passage.

The path leading in from the blood cave is less than a meter long and seems to be just an entrance.

Chen turned around with great difficulty and ran towards the road on the right.

The space here was significantly larger than the way they had come from, and it seemed to be a main road. Chen Ji stretched out his arms and did not feel any obstacles around him.

Instead of leaving immediately, he tried turning on his phone to see if he could generate some light.

However, the phone did not respond at all, and the screen could not even be turned on.

The glow of Du Tingfeng's watch on Chen Ji's wrist had completely disappeared.

Chen Ji's heart sank.

The darkness here... is not as simple as it seems.

This doesn't feel like simply turning off the lights; it feels more like an aggressive substance.

This darkness, as deep as an abyss, can devour all light!

Chen took a deep breath, kept his hands within a suitable range in front of him, and slowly groped his way forward.

He adjusted his direction from time to time and soon discovered that the passage on the right was curved.

It should be built to perfectly fit the walls of the circular plaza.

If that's the case, then the passage will connect end to end, forming a complete circle.

This road...

Is there really an end to this?

I don't know why, in this completely dark environment where I can't see anything...

Chen Ji's heart rate was even faster than when he faced the ghost before.

In this world, some people are afraid of ghosts, some are afraid of the deep sea, and some are even terrified of the vast starry sky.

And all of this is because...

The unknown is the greatest fear hidden deep in the human subconscious.

In this pitch-black darkness, the unknown seems to permeate every corner.

Chen Ji had no idea what was around him, or when the ghost would suddenly appear.

Even more terrifying is that even if it appears, he can't see it at all!

Chen Ji did not quicken his pace out of fear; instead, he stopped and forcibly suppressed the restless unease in his heart.

In such an environment, letting fear take over your mind is tantamount to courting death.

Two seconds later, Chen Ji continued to grope his way forward, feeling the path under his feet getting steeper and steeper. It was a circular, ascending spiral!

Then the end should be at the very top.

He immediately constructed the entire picture of this pathway in his mind:

The main road resembles a spring coil, connecting several openings at the bottom of the outer plaza, gradually rising in concentric circles.

The goal of those who enter the realm is to climb to the top.

Ahead, some faint, rustling sounds gradually appeared, as if someone was speaking in a low voice.

Not far away, there were sounds of running, some fast and some slow.

At least half of the entrants must have escaped into the cave entrance.

Chen Ji didn't try to talk to the people passing by, choosing instead to walk uphill alone.

But at this moment...

A faint smell of blood suddenly wafted through the air.

Immediately, many footsteps stopped.

The dark passage fell silent for a moment.

A rustling sound came from behind them.

pat.

pat.

pat.

It sounded like a pair of feet stepping into a puddle.

But there wasn't a drop of water in the square.

The only liquid that exists is blood!

The blood of the dead in the square!

Everyone realized...

The ghost is coming.

Chen Ji's breathing was extremely weak. He instantly pulled his arm back and tilted his body to the side as much as possible.

His position at the back of the crowd allowed him to sense what was happening more clearly than most people.

That unknown ghost... is walking step by step in this direction!

Soon, the smell of blood grew stronger and stronger until it completely filled Chen Ji's nasal cavity.

The hairs on his arms stood on end, and that chilling malice he had felt before reappeared!

Footsteps approached Chen Ji's side.

But he couldn't see anything!

Chen Ji's mind raced. There were other people behind him, but they were not attacked by the ghost.

why?

At that moment, someone less than a meter away from him sensed the intense malice emanating from him.

"hiss--"

Suddenly, someone gasped softly.

The ghost's footsteps stopped.

It stopped next to Chen Ji.

Chen Ji was drenched in cold sweat!

What form does a ghost take?

Is it actually able to see the visitors in the darkness?

Chen Ji had no idea what the situation was!

Perhaps that ghost is staring straight ahead.

But it's also possible that it's standing right in front of Chen Ji right now... staring at him without blinking!

The next second, Chen Ji felt a cold wind blow past him.

Footsteps appeared beside the person who had just gasped in the blink of an eye.

"no no--"

Two screams of extreme terror rang out simultaneously, echoing continuously in the passageway!

It also echoed in the ears of everyone in this passage.

No one dared to make a sound; the air seemed to freeze.

Bang.

Chen Ji stood still, motionless.

Two round, plump objects, dripping with scalding liquid, slid down to his feet.

Those were the head of the person who was drawing air, and the head of his teammate beside him.

pat, pat.

The ghost continued to move forward...

Chen Ji had already realized a taboo!

In the darkness, ghosts also lose their sight, so they rely on sound to find their targets!

Once the footsteps had faded into the distance, Chen Ji cautiously stretched out his arm and silently groped his way forward.

Because he couldn't see them at all, Chen Ji even touched the bodies of the two people who had just died, and they were still warm.

He remained standing straight in the same spot.

He made no sound and continued walking slowly forward until his body bumped into a soft piece of fabric.

Chen Ji touched it and felt that its shape was very similar to a sofa.

Why is there a sofa here?

He didn't pay much attention and was about to continue forward when he suddenly stopped!

Although the red light in Chen Ji's eyes no longer appeared, the word "death" suddenly flashed through his mind!

The death knell for fountain pens has sounded again!

Is he going to die again?

why? !

Is it because we're moving forward?

Chen Ji was caught in a dilemma. Just then, the darkness in the passage was suddenly broken by a flash of light.

Two seconds later, it flashed again.

Just like... the situation before the lights go out.

Chen Ji's brain suddenly felt like it had been struck by lightning. He took several steps back and hid behind the sofa.

Dead end... here it is.

The lights are about to turn on.

The ghost... is about to open its eyes!
