Thriller Zone: From the Mental Hospital to the Ghostly World

Chapter 336 [Domain: Blind Men and an Elephant] Dong Xiaohu

"Hey... Chen Ji."

"We broke the sofa in half."

"I saw a lump of minced meat inside the sofa frame."

"Among them were a few pieces of clothing, gray, coarse cloth."

"It belongs to Dong Xiaohu."

"..."

Fei'er put down the tape recorder and stared at the broken sofa in front of her.

Liu Song and Xie Hengshan, who were standing beside her, exchanged glances, both of them feeling a chill to the bone.

Liu Song's face was even paler.

At this moment, his heart was filled with endless fear!

The situation is clear: Dong Xiaohu died at the very beginning of the domain!

That is, before the first appearance of the 'Dong Sheng Ghost' that killed Zhou He, Dong Xiaohu was silently killed by the 'Spy Ghost' in the audio-visual room.

No one could have predicted this.

No one could have predicted this would happen.

Because "Dong Xiaohu" was in the team the whole time, communicating with everyone as if nothing was wrong and completing the task!

so.....

"For such a long time, a ghost has been mixed in with our team."

Liu Song murmured in bewilderment, "And then, he followed Kui Gu away."

No wonder, in the previous call, Wei Gu said that he and "Dong Xiaohu" confirmed that there was nothing in the sofa.

Most likely, "Dong Xiaohu" knew about Liu Song's suspicions and deliberately guided Wei Gu to tell them about it in order to dispel their doubts and prevent them from breaking the sofa and discovering his identity.

After all, if a teammate has already checked it, who would bother to go over it again?

This ghost's ability to disguise itself is too strong.

"It can even call us by name! Wait, I spent some time alone with it in the audiovisual room and we even chatted for a while!"

As Liu Song slowly recalled the events that had occurred, a chill ran down his spine.

Looking back now, the seemingly reasonable things "Dong Xiaohu" said during the chat have given him a deeper meaning.

"Everyone is like that, you just haven't seen it."

"The less information you have, the easier it is to be deceived."

Is this talking about a serial killer, a voyeur, or himself?

Or perhaps...

What is the fundamental motivation behind its actions?

Now that things have come to this, many seemingly insignificant details have come together.

For example, "Dong Xiaohu" insists that there is no smell in the audio-visual room.

For example, when the spy ghost scanned the entire house, it first appeared in the audio-visual room where "Dong Xiaohu" and Liu Song were staying.

For example, when Liu Song was almost killed... was Dong Xiaohu really thinking at that moment, in his frozen state?

“Actually, it didn’t provide us with any useful clues at all.” Phil pointed this out astutely: “The only thing it clearly deduced was the identity of the voyeur.”

"At the time, he was very certain that the voyeur was a serial killer."

Xie Hengshan felt a chill.

Chen Ji has made it clear that the spy is the landlord.

What "Dong Xiaohu" said was completely unrelated, yet it made perfect sense.

If Wei Gu hadn't suddenly disappeared, and if the discussion had continued along the lines of "Dong Xiaohu," everyone might have really been led in the wrong direction.

Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered something: "Back then, it just went to find Wei Gu for no reason!"

"Then the feeling of being spied on started from here, and then it teleported to the restaurant!"

"We all know what happened next; Wei Gu probably had designs on that painting back then..."

Then the situation becomes clear.

The voyeur can only disguise itself as Dong Xiaohu, mostly because it has limitations; it must melt a person into the furniture in order to impersonate them.

That is, after Dong Xiaohu was killed in the audio-visual room, the gaze of the spying ghost stopped appearing all the time.

This is because it already has a body.

However, the sense of being spied on will reappear when the entrants might find clues, such as when Chen Ji and his group dig through the floor or when Wei Gu touches the drawing.

And every time this happens...

Dong Xiaohu made no move.

It froze.

Only when the feeling of being watched disappears will its expression and body language change.

But under such high pressure in the domain, no one thought much about it and simply assumed that "Dong Xiaohu" was frightened!

But now it seems that the spying ghost is restricted; it can only attach itself to one object. Once it appears elsewhere, the container "Dong Xiaohu" can no longer be used.

"But... when we dug up Little D's body the second time, it didn't react at all?"

After a brief discussion, Xie Hengshan frowned.

“Because it had more important things to do,” Phil said. “After that, it went to find Wei Gu on its own, and then disappeared with Wei Gu.”

"It was inevitable that Little D would be dug out; there was nothing it could do to stop it."

“Its method of killing is not entirely unsolvable. The sofa that was entangled with Liu Song was chopped down by me.”

"Therefore, it can only kill someone when they are alone and when they are touching the furniture; but at that time everyone was gathered together and already knew that they could not touch the furniture."

“I understand.” Xie Hengshan nodded solemnly. “Kui Gu was the first to notice that something was wrong with the painting, which is probably why he was targeted by the Spying Ghost.”

At this point, everyone fell silent.

There has been no news of Wei Gu for a long time now.

Moreover, everyone now knows that he and the voyeur are trapped in another point in time.

His condition directly affects whether everyone can complete all the tasks.

"Kui Gu, although you are very arrogant..."

Xie Hengshan's face was tense, and he silently thought to himself, "But, I must not die."

......

In the basement.

Kui Gu stared at Xiao A's corpse.

He has now collected them all:

D, A, and B; the bodies of these people were pieced together in an extremely distorted way, and each of them had more or less pieces of their own body that did not belong to them.

Chen Ji is Xiao C.

Wei Gu believes that the reason Chen Ji ended up in this person's body is mostly because Xiao C didn't die.

He was the one who ultimately escaped.

His thoughts were interrupted again by the sharp pain in his head. Wei Gu frowned and remained silent.

Only his eyes were altered.

How could his body possibly bear the full weight of a demon's power?

Without thinking further, Wei Gu collected the body parts into a package and carried it on his shoulder.

"Your arm is broken and you're still acting tough." Dong Xiaohu looked at him with pity: "Give it to me, I'll hold it for you."

"Big brother, can you please stop causing trouble?" Wei Gu looked at him helplessly: "Don't let the voyeur appear again and scare you so much that you lose the body parts again."

Dong Xiaohu awkwardly withdrew his hand.

Kui Gu glanced at him quietly, then pushed open the innermost door of the basement and saw a small window inside, with the curtains tightly closed.

To be precise, this is a semi-basement, with half of the walls exposed.

Kui Gu narrowed his eyes slightly.

His gaze swept across the room, and he saw many tools on the table: a saw, a scalpel, and all sorts of needles and thread.

Below the window were several messy, bloody footprints.
