Thriller Zone: From the Mental Hospital to the Ghostly World

Chapter 335 [Domain: Blind Men and an Elephant] The Mission from the Original Timeline

Chen Ji felt he was very, very close to the truth. If he could figure things out, perhaps his own problems could also be solved!

That is:

How can we help Fei'er and the others get in touch with the ghost's body?

My thoughts are in a mess.

Suddenly, Little D patted Chen Ji on the shoulder and said in a low voice, suppressing his joy, "Little C!"

"It's behind the refrigerator!"

Chen Ji was stunned for a moment.

He crouched down and groped around in the dark, soon finding a dent behind the refrigerator.

but.....

Chen Ji's heart sank, and he asked in a very low voice, "What exactly did that window you saw look like?"

"Iron bars should be able to be pushed up and down."

Little D said, "The outermost part is blocked by the curtains."

Chen Ji's heart immediately turned cold.

What he touched wasn't a window at all.

He tried pushing it, and the small cube was pushed aside. Immediately afterwards, his palm suddenly felt itchy.

Chen Ji immediately pulled his hand away!

"What's wrong?" Little D asked alertly.

Chen Ji paused for two seconds before saying, "That's not a window."

His palms were sweaty.

Moreover, Chen Ji was almost certain that... a slippery finger had just scratched his palm from inside the wall.

Little D slumped down in front of the refrigerator, muttering incredulously:

"how come--"

Her voice stopped abruptly.

In the darkness, Chen Ji couldn't see her expression.

But at that moment, he suddenly felt a strange sensation on his body.

Very cold.

Very cold.

It felt like hair brushing against his neck.

And it was at this moment...

He heard Little D's teeth chattering, and the next second, he saw the other person holding up their phone, pointing it at him—

The light is very dim.

Chen Ji turned his head away.

He saw a few centimeters from his face.

The serial killer crouched on top of the refrigerator, his face close to Chen Ji's ear, staring at him expressionlessly.

There was still blood on the knife in her hand.

Chen Ji dodged to the side, a thought flashing through his mind, and his hand reached into his pocket—

Immediately afterwards, everything went black before his eyes.

When I opened my eyes again...

He is no longer at the restaurant.

For some reason, he was on the second floor at this moment.

Inside the study.

In front of me was an open bookshelf, with all the books inside haphazardly thrown on the floor, revealing a dark hole in the shelf.

Little D wasn't with him.

"Tsk..."

Chen Ji knew that either it was because he was trying to change the timeline to attack the serial killer, or this was the original plot.

This is a crucial juncture in Xiao C's life.

"This must be a passageway left by the landlord during renovations?"

Chen Ji roughly guessed it.

When he was touched by the hand inside the wall, he deduced that the landlord must be hiding inside the house spying on him.

The so-called window may actually exist, but not in the guesthouse; rather, it's in a secret mezzanine built by the landlord.

There might be a basement.

The entire villa was completely silent.

There was no sign of the serial killer.

Without hesitation, Chen Ji crawled into the tunnel and, after groping around in the dark for a while, finally saw the light.

The area in front of me resembled a ventilation duct, twisting and turning with many branches. I wondered how much the landlord had expanded the area!

There are many small dents in the wall.

Chen Ji tried moving one of them and found that the wall plaster on it, or more accurately, a piece of plastic, revealed a small gap after moving it left and right.

Through here, you can see a corner of the bedroom.

And there are many more spy holes like this...

At this point, Chen Ji was completely certain that the spy was the landlord.

After a few minutes.

He still couldn't find Little D's whereabouts.

However, Chen Ji discovered a downward-facing ladder that seemed to lead to the first floor.

Just as he was about to climb down, suddenly, a faint electrical sound came from the tape recorder!

Chen Ji immediately put the tape recorder to his ear.

"Hey, Chen Ji!"

Phil's voice sounded somewhat anxious: "There's a problem."

“We can hear your voices all the time, but there’s been no sound from Kuigu’s side.”

"We've tried sending him messages several times, including the intelligence you have, but we haven't received any response!"

Xie Hengshan's solemn voice came from the side.

"Are he and Dong Xiaohu already dead?"

"There's been no movement here at all; those two ghosts seem to have vanished... Haven't you found a solution yet?"

Just as Chen Ji was about to speak, his ears twitched, and he immediately turned off the recorder and silently retreated to the back!

soon......

A figure dressed in white climbed up the ladder.

The footsteps were barely audible.

Chen Ji hid behind the corner, gazing at the landlord's retreating figure...

His skin was deathly pale, like that of an albino.

He watched as the landlord stood in front of a depression.

It stopped for a long time.

What is he looking at?

Just then... suddenly, a miserable groan came from above Chen Ji's head.

That's Big B!

Could it be that Big B wasn't captured by the killer, but instead hidden upstairs by the landlord?

There's an attic upstairs?

After the groan was heard, the landlord gave a sinister laugh and left the area.

The slight creaking sound of the ladder being stepped on proved that the landlord had come upstairs.

Chen Ji immediately went to the place where the landlord had just been and looked closely!

His gaze suddenly sharpened.

That's... a serial killer!

It was crawling on the ground, but its prosthetic leg was gone!

She only had one leg left. Chen Ji was stunned. What had just happened?

He turned on the recorder again, about to tell Fei'er and the others everything, when he suddenly stopped.

Chen Ji felt a chill in his heart.

......

Fei'er stepped into the audio-visual room.

Xie Hengshan and Liu Song followed closely behind. As soon as they entered, Liu Song felt somewhat uneasy.

The frames of the leather sofas were still scattered on the ground.

Chen Ji also fell silent.

Xie Hengshan scratched his head in frustration. "What do we do now?"

"First, break the speaker."

Phil raised the chainsaw: "According to what Chen Ji said before, the spying ghost was here before."

"Xie Hengshan, try contacting Wei Gu again."

"What's the use? He's probably dead!"

Xie Hengshan shook his head, but still took the tape recorder.

He was disheartened at this moment, feeling that Dong Xiaohu and Wei Gu were likely doomed.

“If they all die…” Liu Song hesitated, “then what about the mission of ‘restoring it’?”

Are we going to be stuck here?

Everyone was silent.

"Kui Gu has been gone for so long, and all he's sent back is a clue that's completely useless!"

Xie Hengshan sighed, "There's nothing inside the leather sofa. So what?"

Liu Song didn't say anything.

A few seconds later, he took a few steps back and sniffed.

His expression showed some hesitation.

"Don't you guys smell the stench?"

"So what if we can't smell it?" Xie Hengshan said, "They've already verified that there are no other corpses in the audio-visual room."

"Hey, Wei Gu!" he said into the recorder, "What's going on over there?"

Immediately afterwards, he put the tape recorder aside, feeling no hope.

The only sound in the entire audio-visual room was the buzzing of the chainsaw.

suddenly!

squeak-

A crackling sound of electricity rang out!

Everyone was immediately taken aback.

"Hey?"

"It's Chen Ji." Xie Hengshan was disappointed again.

"Hey!"

"Fei'er? Listen to me!"

"I just suddenly realized something: that's why you can't get in touch with the Dong Gui!"

"Because the trigger condition for the appearance of the Dong Ghost is the gaze of the Spying Ghost!"

"The sudden change in your mission is because the Spying Ghost is no longer in your timeline!"

Not at our point in time?

The three of them were stunned for a moment.

so.....

There are three points in time; where did the spying ghost go?

Suddenly, as if he had realized something, Liu Song felt a chill run down his spine.

He turned around abruptly and sniffed hard.

The faint odor seemed to be stronger near a leather sofa in the far corner.

He turned around and said, somewhat dazedly:

"Just because there was nothing in the sofa at the time of Wei Gu doesn't mean there wasn't anything there later."

"Is it possible... there really is a body here?"

"Not belonging to NPCs, but to one of us?"
