Thriller Zone: From the Mental Hospital to the Ghostly World

After saying these two sentences while crying, Meng Yue picked up her schoolbag and ran out of the cafeteria.

Wu Yan wanted to call out to her, but couldn't bring herself to say it. She could only watch helplessly as her thin figure disappeared alone through the doorway.

She opened her mouth, let out a long sigh, and for some reason, Wu Yan suddenly felt a pang of sadness in her heart.

Meng Yue did not appear until the end of evening self-study.

The female teacher, as if she hadn't seen the empty seat in the corner, made no mention of Meng Yue's absence.

At nine o'clock in the evening, the bell finally rang to signal the end of get out of class.

On the way back to the dormitory, in order not to attract attention, the six of them loosely split into two rows.

Wu Yan had already recounted her conversation with Meng Yue to them, and now she looked listless.

During their conversation, she felt a pang of sympathy for Meng Yue. Seeing that Meng Yue hadn't come to evening self-study, she had a bad feeling about it.

Fang Jia gently patted her shoulder, sighed softly, and her eyes were full of worry.

Chen Ji and the others walked far ahead of them. They had never met Meng Yue in person, and at this moment they were more concerned about what she was saying.

Two prophecies from the Ouija board!

"There is a contradiction between the two sentences she said."

Chen Ji said softly, he had been thinking about what Meng Yue had said before she left, and the more he thought about it, the more something seemed off.

Ding Xiang thought for a moment, then hesitated and said, "Perhaps it was because she was expelled that Meng Yue died?"

Chen Ji shook his head and said, "If that's the case, why did the Ouija board specifically mention 'one week'?"

"If Meng Yue's death was due to being expelled, then her expulsion must have occurred within the time frame specified in the second sentence, which is [three days]."

"Is the mention of 'one week' in the first prophecy somewhat redundant?"

Du Tingfeng tossed the coin in his hand, nodded, and agreed with Chen Ji's idea.

But he also stated directly, "Actually, I think these two prophecies will come true by tomorrow at the latest."

"It could be one, or it could be both."

Chen Ji said, "That's true."

"The pen in the cabinet was put there before we moved dorms, so Meng Yue's summoning of the Ouija board must have happened no later than last night."

"Tomorrow will be the last day."

But he still had some doubts in his heart. He always felt that the Ouija board shouldn't make such a logical error.

Why would a fountain pen give two completely different answers?

......

The group parted ways at the dormitory entrance. Ding Xiang had already told the other two girls that they didn't need to be too afraid of their roommates.

Wu Yan was still a little nervous and stressed, but Fang Jia was very open-minded: "Just pretend they don't exist."

The moon was hidden by the clouds, and at 9:30, the dormitory building door slammed shut.

There was still some time before lights out, so the three people on the first floor finished washing up and went straight back to their dorm room.

The corridors and toilets were packed with faceless students. Even the bravest man would get goosebumps in this environment and would not want to stay for a second longer.

"Holy crap, this is the first time I've ever felt this happy just from seeing a man's face."

The burly man let out a long breath. After seeing so many faceless, flat faces, seeing Du Tingfeng and Chen Ji again made his eyes feel much more comfortable.

"That's normal, Lao Gong."

Du Tingfeng said seriously, with a very calm expression: "The fundamental reason is that I'm more handsome."

"roll."

"And also, don't fucking call me that."

Chen Ji almost couldn't hold back his laughter. He was taking things out of the locker when his hand slipped, and a set of review materials fell to the ground.

"These were all left behind by the people who lived here before, right?"

The burly man picked up the book; it was quite new, with almost no signs of having been used.

"Ok?"

He casually flipped through the papers, pulled out a draft paper, and looked at Chen Ji: "Who put this in here?"

Chen Ji shook his head, took the draft paper, and found that the handwriting on it was beautiful, as if it had been torn from a notebook:

【June 11】

"T_T I'm in a really bad mood today..."

I stayed up too late with everyone last night, and got up to do morning exercises after only a short nap...

It's freezing cold. My hair froze almost immediately after I washed it. I must be incredibly unlucky to be studying here.

But... there's nothing I can do...

My parents spent so much money to send me here, all so that I could get into university...

I dozed off for two minutes during morning reading, and Teacher Zhang made me stand at the back as punishment, and even humiliated me in front of the whole class...

Teacher Zhang said I was trash, a bad influence who not only didn't learn anything but also corrupted others. The only reason I was allowed to stay in school was because my mother begged her while crying...

She said her mother almost knelt down before her, saying that she wouldn't amount to anything in the future, just like her parents.

After Teacher Zhang scolded me, everyone laughed at me. Li and Meng also stopped talking to me. Did they also think I was a bad apple?

Fortunately, there's still the moon...

This is a diary entry. At the very bottom, a separate line is written crookedly in a different colored pen:

Next time, remember to ask when all this will end.

After reading the diary, the group felt somewhat uncomfortable.

"That teacher's words were really rude," Du Tingfeng frowned. "Isn't this an insult to my character?"

Chen Ji nodded silently. The beginning of the diary was fine, but the more he read, the more oppressive it felt, and the pain almost overflowed from the page.

The burly man was somewhat dismissive: "She's just too fragile. If I were in school, and a teacher dared to say something like that, I would have slapped him long ago."

He was about to fold up the draft paper when Chen Ji suddenly stopped him.

What did she mean by her last sentence?

Du Tingfeng was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened suddenly: "It's a Ouija board!"

They reread the diary and slowly began to make sense of it.

The diary's author states in the very second sentence: "I stayed up too late last night."

Cell phones are not allowed in this cram school, and there are no entertainment facilities. Considering the pen in the locker, what she was playing with is obvious.

A scene flashed through their minds.

On a dark and cold night, several girls huddled around a table, their hearts heavy with worries and anxieties, deciding to summon the spirit of the Ouija board...

The last sentence is precisely the question the diarist will ask the Ouija board next.

“Li, who is mentioned in this diary, should have lived in this dormitory before,” Chen Ji suddenly said.

“I had looked at the nameplate by the door before, and the name that was revealed was Li Xiaoli.”

The group exchanged glances, and Du Tingfeng seemed to be deep in thought: "It's very possible that the four girls in this diary are not only good friends, but also live in the same dormitory."

"That is, this dormitory room."

The answer to who Yue is is obvious: it is Meng Yue.

She also participated in the Ouija board game, which is why she lost control of her emotions when the female teacher got angry.

Chen Ji clutched the draft paper, casually put it into his pocket, his eyes gleaming.

Now there is only one question left, and for some reason, Chen Ji vaguely feels that this question is of utmost importance.

It may even directly affect whether everyone can pass the level.

Who is the "I" in this diary?
