Thriller Zone: From the Mental Hospital to the Ghostly World

Chapter 317 [Domain: Blind Men and an Elephant] Who's Watching Me?

Within 0.01 seconds, Chen Ji determined that the thud was coming from beneath his feet, from the floor.

However, he looked around but couldn't see the ghost at all.

"Little E heard a thud in the bathroom but didn't find the ghost. So the ghost doesn't have a physical form?" Chen Ji understood.

Even if the ghost were right in front of him, Chen Ji couldn't see it, he could only hear its voice.

The knocking sound grew closer...

Boom, boom.

It sounded slightly different from the recording; it was a bit heavier, like a cane dull thumping against the wooden floor.

Soon, we'll be at Chen Ji's feet!

Chen Ji's eyes flickered slightly. Instead, he squatted down and touched the wooden floor with his fingers, feeling a slight tremor coming from it!

Immediately, he pressed his head directly to the ground. In addition to the clearer thumping sound, there was also a slight buzzing sound, which was the echo of the sound vibrating in the floorboards.

Sure enough.

He knew that, at least in domains of medium difficulty, newcomers wouldn't be immediately placed in a dangerous situation from the start.

Even the Three Wise Monkeys were given a ten-minute warning period.

But that doesn’t mean the ghost won’t appear. Right now, the ghost is only one floor away from Chen Ji!

The thumping sound, to be precise, came from the floor below the bedroom where Chen Ji was!

The reason it was so clear was because it hit the ceiling.

The knocking sounds gradually faded away, confirming Chen Ji's guess and also explaining why the Domain had locked them in the room...

Once the entrants are given the opportunity to patrol independently, it is very likely that they will gather on the spacious first floor at this time to confront the ghost directly.

A few minutes later, everything fell silent again...

Just then, the door lock clicked open, as if a restriction had been lifted and it opened on its own.

This means that the domain has officially begun.

After a brief silence of a few seconds, Chen Ji was the first to walk out.

The bedroom was indeed on the second floor. Outside the door was a circular corridor with a crystal chandelier hanging in the middle of the open space. Looking down from the railing, you could also see the huge living room below.

In the next room, the man who had tried to break down the door also came out. He was short and stocky, with a neck much thicker than normal, and his complexion was not good.

“Dong Xiaohu,” the man glanced at Chen Ji and said briefly.

Chen Ji responded and then saw Fei'er walk out of the study across the corridor, looking very unwell.

The two exchanged a glance and then looked away.

After a brief discussion, Chen Ji confirmed his guess.

In every room, even the bathroom or the study, there is a book of stories and a tape recorder playing stories about Little E and Little F.

7 people in total.

This corresponds to the 7 rooms on the second floor: 3 on the north side and 4 on the south side.

The last man to emerge was named Wei Gu; to be precise, he merely poked his head out from the doorway of the last room.

"Come over here and take a look."

After saying that, he shrank back.

Xie Hengshan, from the room next to his, was the first to enter the room. Before the others could go over, they heard a soft gasp coming from inside.

"...How did you manage to stay in this room?!"

Everyone's hearts skipped a beat, and they immediately quickened their pace, soon seeing the tragic scene inside the Kui Gu house!

A nauseating smell filled the entire room.

It smells like a corpse.

Xie Hengshan's face was pale, his eyes fixed on the large bed in the center of the bedroom.

The disheveled sheets had turned deep red, completely soaked in blood; next to the pillow lay what appeared to be a pile of blood-soaked blankets, their pattern indistinguishable.

Fei'er narrowed her eyes, walked to the bedside, and gently pressed her finger against the blanket, immediately squeezing out a pool of bloody water.

She rolled up her sleeves, reached into the blanket and groped around for a while, then quickly pulled out a string of intestines as if she were pulling out a sock!

“The body is fused into the blanket,” Fei’er said, flipping the blanket over to reveal a corpse inside that was unrecognizable as human.

Clinging tightly to the blanket, as the blanket was moved, a flattened eyeball rolled to the ground.

At the same time, Zhou He and Liu Song blurted out:

"Little F!"

“Yes.” Wei Gu nodded, still expressionless. “This is the bedroom where they stayed back then.”

"However... Little E's death was rather strange."

As he spoke, he opened the bathroom door, and a corpse was immediately exposed to everyone's eyes.

Little E sat on the toilet, looked up at the sky, and had an extremely terrified expression!

But the most horrifying thing was that her left leg was broken off and shoved into her mouth!

The impact of this scene was even stronger than that of Little F's corpse. Chen Ji glanced at it, then walked out of the bathroom and winked at Fei'er.

The two walked into the corridor and leaned against the railing.

Chen Ji carefully examined her face and could clearly sense that she was restless, with her brows tightly furrowed and her hands covered in blood, which she hadn't washed off.

"There are problems in reality."

"That's what Fei'er said bluntly."

"I felt something was wrong with me less than ten seconds after I entered the domain, and my heart was beating very fast."

Chen Ji remained silent. During the dark period after entering the domain, he had experienced a similar feeling, but he forcibly suppressed it.

"Leave the domain as soon as possible," Fei'er said. "My sixth sense is usually right; it's most likely Mu Yu—"

Her mouth was still open, but the sound stopped abruptly!

At the same time, Chen Ji suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, as if something was watching him and Fei'er!

It felt like a thousand needles were pricking his back.

peep.....

Suddenly, the words Little E had said came to mind: "I always feel hairy all over, like someone is spying on me."

Ordinary people might attribute this kind of feeling to an illusion.

But those who entered the realm all knew that if they sensed someone was spying on them, it meant...

A ghost is not far away!

"Walk."

Chen Ji spoke in a low voice, using his body to block Fei'er as she slowly retreated into the house.

The surroundings were silent. The gaze came from behind him, from the northern corridor.

Chen Ji yanked open the door, and in that instant, he turned his head as if by accident, and immediately felt an extremely malicious gaze fall on his profile!

The next second, he slipped into the room and closed the door behind him.

"what happened?"

Zhou He asked warily, "Why are you closing the door?"

"A ghost has come to the second floor."

Chen gave a very simple answer, and only then did the discomfort he felt gradually subside.

“It’s spying on us from the northern corridor.”

"But when I looked back, I didn't see anything."

Kui Gu stood at the very back and said softly:

"If we're 'blind,' how could we possibly see ghosts?"

"but....."

Why wasn't there a "thump" sound this time?
