Thriller Zone: From the Mental Hospital to the Ghostly World

Chapter 136 [The Asylum] The Monkey Returns

stab-

That's the sound of Zhang Xiaomei's teeth tearing flesh off Chen Ji's fingertip.

Those few pills, stuck between the bloody bits of meat, were swallowed by her.

humming—

This is the sound of Zhang Xiaomei biting through her joints and chewing cartilage.

It's just like gnawing on a chicken foot.

Chen Ji's face was deathly pale. He pulled the cloth out of his mouth and tightly bound the severed wound on his hand to prevent further blood loss.

He took advantage of the moment when Zhang Xiaomei was tasting his finger and turned to run away. This one finger could only delay him for less than a minute at most!

As for the medicine, it's unknown how long it will take to take effect.

Not long after, he ran to the vicinity of the previous 2C01 ward and slammed the iron door shut!

This is the only area on the second floor with two lines of defense.

As it turns out, this was the right choice...

Because Zhang Xiaomei's speed is just too fast!

After she finished chewing her fingers, she took a few steps in one, and in the blink of an eye, she turned from the end of the main corridor to Section C on the 2nd floor!

Chen Ji stood behind the iron gate, his pupils shrinking slightly. He had seen with his own eyes that Zhang Xiaomei had simply bumped into the iron gate, and dents had appeared on it!

and.....

After eating the finger, Zhang Xiaomei seemed to crave the rest of his body even more.

She smacked her lips, licked the bits of meat off her lips, and looked at Chen Ji with an expression that didn't seem like she was looking at him.

It's like savoring a signature dish from a Michelin three-star restaurant...

Am I that delicious?

Chen gave a short, bitter laugh and backed away step by step until he entered the ward.

boom!

boom!

boom!

Three loud bangs in a row!

Looking through the night watch window of the ward, Chen Ji was dumbfounded to find that the iron gate had been bent by a blow!

The thick iron pipe couldn't withstand three seconds in Zhang Xiaomei's hands before being violently pulled away.

Chen Ji immediately locked the ward door from the inside!

His heart was pounding as he watched Zhang Xiaomei walk stiffly to the door of the ward and squat down.

Her face was separated from Chen Ji's only by a pane of glass.

Wow!

The next second, Zhang Xiaomei smashed the glass with her fist and stuck her entire arm through the night watch window!

"Fuck..."

Chen Ji suddenly collapsed to the ground, cold sweat pouring down his face. Fortunately, after seeing Zhang Xiaomei's face, he immediately darted to the wall.

The hand was waving blindly in the air.

Chen Ji knew that this hospital room door couldn't stop Zhang Xiaomei.

He could only silently count down the time...

If the instructions are correct, then one dose should take effect in no more than ten seconds...

Seven seconds later.

The door was kicked open with a bang.

Zhang Xiaomei sniffed the air, opened the wardrobe, and pulled Chen Ji out.

Chen Ji struggled frantically, but when he kicked her, it was like kicking an iron plate. Not only did it not make Zhang Xiaomei retreat an inch, but it also almost broke his own foot!

A slight smile finally appeared on Zhang Xiaomei's previously expressionless face.

Pulling Chen Ji's arm up, Zhang Xiaomei bit his hand, but...

Her mouth was not fully closed when it was blocked, as if a steel rod was supporting it.

She put all her strength into it again and bit down hard!

A tooth was broken and fell to the ground.

But Zhang Xiaomei's lips were also slowly pressing down.

At that very moment, five seconds later than Chen Ji had anticipated...

Zhang Xiaomei's hand suddenly lost its strength.

She tried to open her bluish eyelids with all her might, but to no avail, and eventually closed them completely.

With a gentle push from Chen Ji, she crashed to the ground, becoming as lifeless as a corpse, and remained motionless.

"Thankfully, we added enough sedative..."

Chen Ji rubbed his arm and sat down next to Zhang Xiaomei, a rare feeling of lingering fear creeping into his heart.

Is that human being?

Believing you're a zombie grants you the same strength and speed; the power of suggestion is incredible...

Chen Ji was astonished. One tablet of the tranquilizer he administered would be enough to subdue a tiger, but he had given Zhang Xiaomei three tablets!

As a result, the onset time was five seconds later than stated in the instructions, which nearly killed Chen Ji on the spot.

Thank goodness I had a fountain pen!

Chen Ji quickly pried open Zhang Xiaomei's mouth and took out the pen that was being used as a support.

The pen was trembling violently, as if it had been severely insulted.

"Sorry sorry."

Chen Ji chuckled and used Zhang Xiaomei's clothes to wipe the pen clean.

After removing the bloody saliva, bits of meat, and bone fragments, Chen Ji noticed a notch in the pen cap.

The pen turned its back and wrote on the ground in humiliation:

【next time】

Could you please let me know in advance?

Having said that, it lay down listlessly on the ground.

Chen Ji felt a little embarrassed and quickly put it back in his pocket, thinking to himself that he would have to take good care of the pen after leaving the Netherworld.

He gently stroked his pocket, sat to the side, and silently waited for the other psychotropic drugs to take effect.

About twenty minutes later...

Zhang Xiaomei's legs, like Liu Yuan's, turned into specks of light and dissipated into the air.

Until the entire body is completely eliminated.

Chen Ji suddenly felt a warmth on his back.

He smiled slightly, pulled open his clothes, and turned his head to see a fluffy monkey doll with its arms wrapped around his waist and clinging to his back.

The monkey raised its head and glanced at Chen Ji before falling back into a deep sleep.

"The ghosts are all back..."

Chen Ji muttered to himself, got up, pushed open the door, and returned to the corridor.

He held a flashlight and pondered for a moment.

Next, we need to find Xiaoguo.

Xiao Guo lives in the basement of the mental hospital, but the elevator doesn't go directly to the basement. You have to go down to the first floor first and then walk down the stairs.

Chen Ji had previously investigated and found that there was no one-to-one replica of the mental hospital here, and there was no freight elevator.

Just in case, Chen Ji rehearsed all the possible scenarios before pressing the elevator button...

Ding-dong-

Arrived at the first floor.

Chen Ji squeezed among a group of patients returning to their wards and was about to quietly head towards the stairwell when suddenly his heart skipped a beat!

He immediately felt his brain buzzing and his thoughts getting stuck!

But it's much better than before?

"You're out."

A voice devoid of emotion suddenly appeared behind Chen Ji.

Chen Ji's brain was working frantically. In just one second, his eyes switched to confusion, and he turned his head away in bewilderment.

"Feng... Du Tingfeng!"

Chen Ji shouted excitedly, his voice carrying just the right amount of hesitation.

Du Tingfeng remained expressionless.

His face was still flawless; if it weren't for those subtle clues, Chen Ji would never have been able to tell from his appearance that he was a masked ghost.

"How did you get out?"

Du Tingfeng asked.

At the same time, he seemed very concerned as he took Chen Ji's hand in his, his brow furrowing: "And what happened to you? You look so disheveled."

Chen Ji waited for about 3 seconds, his tone incoherent, before describing what had just happened:

Liu Yuan kept pressing Chen Ji for answers, but later, something angered him, and he tried to kill Chen Ji with a knife.

The voice in Chen Ji's mind instigated him to kill Liu Yuan.

During the fight, his finger was cut, but Liu Yuan was also injured and escaped.

After that, Chen Ji began searching everywhere for Du Tingfeng.

"Why...is he so angry?"

After saying that, Chen Ji asked again, somewhat confused.

Du Tingfeng remained silent for a long while before speaking softly:

"He wasn't angry, he was scared."

Without saying much, he led Chen Ji to a waiting area.

"wait for me here."

Du Tingfeng squatted down, looked at the severed part of Chen Ji's finger, and said with some concern, "I'll go get you a bandage, make sure the wound doesn't get infected."

Chen Ji nodded silently.

He watched Du Tingfeng's retreating figure as he walked towards the elevator, and a glint flashed in his eyes.

"Go get the bandages..."

So considerate!

Chen Ji chuckled to himself.

The actor who played the Painted Skin Ghost was really convincing.

It was as if it genuinely identified itself with Chen Ji's best friend.
