Thriller Zone: From the Mental Hospital to the Ghostly World

Sweat beaded on Zhang Heng's forehead as he stared intently at the hand in front of him, unsure of what to do.

Should we believe what Chen Ji said, or not?

His mind flashed through all his previous experiences, and his pupils suddenly darkened.

If you put yourself in Chen Ji's shoes...

What would you do if you were faced with someone who almost killed you?

They will definitely retaliate!

This is also why Zhang Heng targeted Chen Ji so much in the previous round of the game!

He didn't want to leave any future troubles!

At this moment, Zhang Heng's mind was racing; he had already heard faint noises coming from ahead.

The format is correct.

However, Chen Ji must have altered the last word.

Just as Zhang Heng was listing out the possible options in his mind, a barely audible footstep suddenly sounded.

pat.

pat.

Until... Zhang Heng's body was completely shrouded in shadow...

His hands clenched so tightly that his nails dug deep into his flesh, and when he saw the wrinkles on [Yun Yuan's] calves beside him, like the bark of an old tree...

Zhang Heng could no longer think calmly and blurted out:

One of them is a child!

This is only one word different from what Chen Ji told him.

beep—

The third round of the telephone game is over!

The half-body child statue with a grinning face and tilted head on the table also disappeared without a trace.

Chen Ji turned his head and looked at Zhang Heng's pale face without any surprise.

The other person took two steps back in a panic, staring blankly at the slowly flowing vortex on their stomach, their eyes filled with disbelief.

Just as Zhang Heng's body was slowly collapsing and caved in, the red-haired man quickly walked to his side and asked:

What exactly did you hear?

The sentences Zhang Heng uttered were clearly not nonsense, but they were also incorrect.

"One of them is... an idiot!"

He's lying to me!

Before being completely swallowed by the vortex, Zhang Heng pointed at Chen Ji with despair and hatred!

Then, he completely disappeared in mid-air.

"...Tsk."

The red-haired man sighed, looking somewhat troubled.

Yun Yuan's expression was subtle. She looked at Chen Ji, but couldn't say anything for a moment.

She couldn't possibly blame Chen Ji for Zhang Heng's death.

Because Chen Jichuan used the correct sentence!

Yun Yuan cursed inwardly, "Zhang Heng is such an idiot!"

Even copying the answers doesn't make sense!

Zhang Heng, until his death, believed that Chen Ji's words must be wrong, and that he himself was wrong simply because of bad luck.

Zhang Wenyi gave Chen Ji a deep look, a satisfied smile spreading across his face.

Although she didn't know how Chen Ji had determined the correct sentence, she couldn't help but feel a sense of relief upon seeing Zhang Heng dead.

She glanced again at the red-haired man and Yun Yuan, her hand gripping the plaid shirt around her waist tightly.

Zhang Wenyi is actually very cautious, which is the fundamental reason why she has been able to win so many matches.

A decision that would shock many people was slowly taking shape in her mind...

Now only five people remain.

This break was unusually quiet; no one spoke, except for Yun Yuan and the red-haired man, everyone else scattered.

Zhao Xun stood in the corner, his brows furrowed tightly.

This experience of being unjustly accused during the game made him realize once again the importance of teamwork.

Thinking back to the invitation that person extended when he entered the domain last time, Zhao Xun's long-held belief in remaining aloof from worldly affairs has begun to waver.

At least, his goals were aligned with those of the others...

Chen Ji walked alone to the macaque.

He looked up at the macaque's broad back covered with dark brown fur and remained silent for a long time.

This macaque was so enormous, it was over ten meters long, and could easily crush everyone present with one hand.

If anyone with megalophobia saw it, they would probably faint from fright.

The pen was wriggling wildly in Chen Ji's pocket, he was extremely excited!

Chen Ji felt an itchy sensation on his hand, which was tucked in his pocket, as the nib of his fountain pen moved rapidly across the paper.

When will you finally put your hand down?

Chen Ji spoke softly to the monkey in front of him, which was covering its ears and facing the wall...

......

The break time is over.

Everyone was pushed into their own positions.

Chen Ji was in the first position, followed by Yun Yuan.

The red-haired man stood at the end of the line.

On the table next to them, new clues appeared: three little figures with their mouths sewn shut.

Chen Ji put his hands in his pockets, didn't even glance at the table, and was quite satisfied with the queuing order this time.

As the lights suddenly went out, the fourth round of the telephone game began.

On the whiteboard, a line of words was slowly written vertically...

Yun Yuan stood behind Chen Ji, her eyes constantly glancing at the table next to her, her brain working at a rapid pace!

She could vaguely find connections between the clues from the previous two rounds of the game, but that was because of her third brother.

But this time...

She was biting her lip when she suddenly felt someone touch her body.

what?

The game has only just begun, how come the ghost has already left the team?

Yun Yuan trembled, stiffly turned her head to look to the left, and a strong look of surprise flashed in her eyes!

Chen Ji had somehow broken away from the group and walked directly to her, showing her the words he had written on his hand.

At the same time, he quickly muttered a sentence, very perfunctorily, as if he was just trying to complete the task.

Isn't this... a violation of the rules?!

Yun Yuan stared at Chen Ji's palm with a complicated expression, and after a moment she slowly read aloud:

"...and three of them are mute."

Chen Ji nodded and walked towards Zhao Xun.

Zhao Xun, however, stared intently ahead for several moments before turning back!

In front of him, [Yun Yuan]'s head didn't turn at all, and she said stiffly, as if chanting a spell:

"There are three more."

"He has no head."

That's nonsense.

Chen Ji silently stared at [Yun Yuan]'s completely sealed eyes, remembered those words, and then reached out his hand to Zhao Xun's face.

"There are three more... who are mute."

Zhao Xun's voice trembled. It was as if a thunderbolt had struck his mind. When he saw Chen Ji, he instantly understood the key to breaking the deadlock.

At this point, Chen Ji no longer needed to show the document to the people behind him one by one.

The nonsense has been corrected.

However, he remained cautious to prevent a second round of the game from happening.

Next was Zhang Wenyi.

Next, the one most likely to die, is the red-haired man.

Without a second's hesitation, the red-haired man read out the sentence on Chen Ji's palm.

beep—

As the game ended, the red-haired man patted Chen Ji on the shoulder and said with a soft laugh:

"Thanks!"

boom--

Just then, the macaque that had been covering its ears slumped heavily to its side with both hands!

It returned to the posture it had at the beginning of this domain.

No one died in this round of the game.

Even Chen Ji stood perfectly still in place, and did not die for violating the rule of "not moving at will".

"I won't listen..."

Zhao Xun shook his head with a wry smile, "So that's how it is."

No wonder he had always found it strange; this time, the relay game seemed to contradict the hint of "not listening."

If they don't listen, how can the message be relayed?

But if you listen to it, it goes against the guidelines!

But this time, the way out is actually very simple...

Everyone just listened to the so-called "rules" out of prejudice and didn't dare to try!

Even Chen Ji only truly confirmed it after several small tests.

Once everyone had arrived at the children's square, the macaques immediately descended from the upper level.

As soon as it appeared, its ears were covered, which was a message to the eight people present:

I won't listen.

"Don't listen!"

Don't listen to what I'm about to say!

In other words, after the macaque covered its ears, a sudden sound came, which everyone assumed was a reminder of the rules:

[The game is about to begin]

[Please, all players, line up in order from front to back and do not move around.]

[Waiting - Waiting for the first person to read what's on the blackboard, then passing it on to the last person.]

[Note: You cannot move around freely during the game.]

That's real nonsense!

Don't believe nonsense!
