Chapter 129 [The Asylum] The Mystery of the Ghostly Figure
At the same time, beams of red light suddenly appeared in Chen Ji's eyes, flashing at a high frequency.
"die!"
This is a death knell for fountain pens!
Chen Ji's mind went blank. The red light of the word "death" appeared, and he could no longer maintain his mental clarity. A single thought instantly filled his entire mind:
"I'm dying!"
The black shadowy figure and eerie sounds crawled down from the doorway step by step, forcing Chen Ji to the toilet.
At this moment, Chen Ji had no time to think about the concept of "not being eavesdropped on"; his brain was working at lightning speed!
Why is this ghost here at this moment?
Moreover, the black ghost is the only ghost that has revealed its true form, unlike any other creature in the mental hospital!
Are there any similarities between stairwells and restrooms?
Chen Ji frantically looked around; the black shadowy figure was almost invisible, nearly melting into the darkness of the bathroom...
dark.
The bathroom light is off!
The bathroom and stairwell were completely dark, with almost no light at all!
Light is a taboo for this ghost!
Light, light... There's a strange creature, related to light...
Tang Qin!
The name suddenly popped into Chen Ji's mind, and he instantly understood why this ghost seemed so out of place in the mental hospital!
These are Tang Qin's eyeballs, transformed into a ghost!
The black ghost did not utter the words he was thinking; instead, it fell completely silent.
This actually confirmed Chen Ji's idea; its true nature had been exposed!
"Du Tingfeng!"
At the critical moment, Chen Ji suddenly shouted outside, cold sweat pouring down his forehead.
He's gambling.....
If you win the bet, you've guessed correctly and you'll survive.
pat.
Just as the black shadow was about to approach Chen Ji, the door was opened.
The red light in Chen Ji's eyes went out in an instant.
Du Tingfeng poked his head in, somewhat surprised:
"what happened?"
The light from the corridor spilled in through the open door.
Very weak.
But the black ghostly figure did indeed disappear.
Chen Ji lowered his head, leaning against the wall, his expression unreadable.
He was silent for a few seconds before saying softly, "That ghostly figure is back again."
"How can it be?!"
Du Tingfeng frowned and immediately looked around, even checking each cubicle one by one.
He glanced at Chen Ji's sweat-drenched face, seemingly without suspicion, and said somewhat seriously:
"Get out of here quickly."
As he spoke, he pulled Chen Ji up and patted the dust off his clothes:
"Did you just throw up?"
Chen Ji nodded: "Yeah, I feel a little nauseous."
"But nothing came out."
Du Tingfeng didn't say anything, but peeked into the toilet, which was empty.
"No wonder I didn't hear the flushing sound."
He muttered something casually, then pulled Chen Ji away from the bathroom.
The cubicle door slammed shut again...
Next to the toilet, the trash can was knocked and wobbled, spilling out a few wads of toilet paper.
After a while.
Chen Ji went to another bathroom with lights to wash his hands and then briefly discussed things with Du Tingfeng.
He believes that now that the corridors are empty and the medical staff have all disappeared, it should be a brief period of safety.
They should make the most of this time and split up their search; that would be more efficient.
However, Du Tingfeng seemed to be worried about the ghostly figure reappearing and rejected Chen Ji's suggestion.
Ultimately, the two agreed to first go check out the ward next door on the third floor where the screams were coming from.
......
Chen Ji and Du Tingfeng's ward is 3A02. Although they are only separated by a wall, the four wards on the other side of the corridor are all blocked by an iron gate, separating them from the other wards in the corridor.
On the iron gate, there was a sign with three lines of large, blood-red characters:
[Intensive Care Unit]
【注意！！】
[This area is extremely dangerous due to the presence of infected individuals. Unauthorized entry is strictly prohibited!]
Chen Ji ignored it.
When he escaped from the mental hospital last time, his ward was also isolated behind a separate iron gate, but that was a temporary setup.
"Would it be dangerous to go in?"
Du Tingfeng frowned and tugged at Chen Ji's hand, which was trying to touch the iron gate.
"Maybe, but it's better than waiting to die out there."
Chen Ji said softly, and pushed the iron gate again. To his surprise, the gate opened easily.
The two walked almost silently, tiptoeing into the [intensive care unit].
To their right was ward 3A03, where the scream had just come from. Now, a faint white light shone from inside, and there was no sound.
Chen Ji glanced at the corridor behind him, but there was still no one there, so he walked towards the door of 3A03.
Unlike before, the map of the mental hospital does not show the presence of a monitoring room.
So as long as you're not seen by female nurses or other doctors, you can explore with peace of mind.
Like other wards, this room also has a small window on the door, making it convenient for nurses to check on patients at night.
Chen Ji leaned his head out of the small window, stared intently, and his eyelids twitched in surprise!
In this hospital room...
It's all blood!
Even in Chen Ji's intermittent hallucinations, the blood was incredibly viscous, dripping from the ceiling to the floor and bedside, like molten lava!
This was not a metaphor; Chen Ji could genuinely feel a scorching heat even through the door.
Without hesitation, he pushed open the door and led Du Tingfeng inside.
The room was covered in blood, but there was no body.
The screaming "patient" from just now has disappeared.
Chen Ji felt a vague unease. As soon as his fingers touched the blood on the wall, he took a step back, feeling a burning pain in his fingertips!
The skin there was immediately scalded red, and even a few small blisters appeared.
It felt as if I had actually touched lava.
This is no longer a hallucination, because the residual white pills in the body have caused reality and hallucination to merge.
Chen carefully avoided the blood and walked to the bedside. He was looking for the patient information card for this ward.
Sure enough, the card hadn't been taken yet.
[Tianhai City Mental Hospital Patient Information Card]
Patient Name: Zhang Xiaomei
[Diagnosis: Paranoia - Qatar Syndrome]
The following description is similar to what Chen Ji remembers: the patient imagines himself as a dead corpse.
Chen Ji silently memorized the name, turned around and was about to leave the bedside when he suddenly paused.
He paused for two seconds before glancing at Du Tingfeng, hands in his pockets, and said softly:
"Let's go to the next ward."
After saying that, he pushed the door open, preparing to leave 3A03.
but.....
The door made only a slight creaking sound.
Unlike when they came in, they weren't pushed aside immediately, as if...
Something is blocking the door from opening and closing!
Chen Ji's heart rate spiked instantly!
He immediately took two steps back, falling to Du Tingfeng's side, staring intently at the small window on the door!
That small window in the middle of the door...
A man's face, expressionless, was pressed tightly against the glass.
His two eyeballs were deformed from being squeezed by the glass because they were too close together.
That was the boy from the high school couple in the bookstore.
He didn't know when he appeared outside the door!
Chen Ji's breathing became rapid. Looking at the figure that had been squatting on the ground, he slowly stood up and pushed open the door of 3A03.
The moment the boy's figure came into Chen Ji's view...
Chen Ji suddenly realized why there were no more corpses in the ward.
Why was the iron gate open?
The boy was wearing an ill-fitting white coat, his eyes were cold, and his hands were covered in blood.
The shoulders too.
He killed the "patients" in this ward, who were originally medical staff, and then dragged them to another place!
Chen Ji and his companion accidentally stumbled upon a murder scene that he hadn't fully cleaned up yet!

Regarding Ghost Shadow and Tang Qin: (Chapter 32) "...Tang Qin stood in the office on the second floor, her vision suddenly plunged into darkness...Even more terrifying, suddenly, dark shadows appeared in her line of sight, behind the walls, by the door, in every shadow, secretly watching her!"
Ghosts only appear in dark environments.
