Thriller Zone: From the Mental Hospital to the Ghostly World

Chapter 198 [Domain: Tuotuo Mountain] The "Meaning" of Salvation

Liu Yunfeng also twisted his lover's head off!

And after his lover died, he also became a ghost!

Chen Ji immediately looked away, his mind reeling!

In that split second, he suddenly realized the meaning of "saving others is saving yourself". If I'm not mistaken, as long as you are in this mining area, once you are killed by a ghost, the victim will also become a ghost!

In the end, the number of ghosts will increase exponentially!

Chen Ji immediately looked at Xu Sandao, whose mouth was tightly pursed, clearly indicating that he had also realized this.

If Zhang Xiangdong also appears, then this speculation will be confirmed.

Chen Ji was covered in cold sweat. If this guess was confirmed, they could not only save their own lives, but also do everything they could to prevent the NPCs here from being killed by ghosts!

That is to say...

They must find out the taboos surrounding these ghosts as soon as possible.

But now, it is very likely that:

Five dead miners + Zhang Xiangdong + a woman with a mole, a total of seven ghosts.

This is without considering the three missing workers.

Do these ghosts each have their own taboos, or do they share some commonalities...?

Suddenly, Chen Ji heard Lao Yang across from him push his plate a little further away.

There's something wrong with the food.

Chen Ji looked down and suddenly felt a surge of nausea.

The once fragrant, plump meat bun in front of me suddenly changed its appearance—

It was covered in mold, covered in a layer of white mildew, and emitted a strong fishy smell. I have no idea what kind of filling was inside!

And that bowl of meat soup...

Chen was extremely unwilling to guess what that sticky, foul-smelling liquid was.

All he knew was that the minced meat inside had turned into a finger with a silver ring on it.

"Eat."

The woman suddenly spoke up, "The soup is getting cold."

Who would dare eat this?!

All three of them were stiff and silent.

A minute passed...

The scene was incredibly tense. Although the room temperature was very cold, Lao Yang's face was covered with beads of sweat.

At that moment, Chen Ji suddenly noticed that the smile on the woman's face had disappeared.

In an instant, her expression turned incredibly venomous!

"Why...why aren't you eating?"

at the same time--

A red light that had not appeared for a long time appeared in Chen Ji's eyes.

【die! 】

【die! 】

A death warning has been issued for fountain pens!

Chen Ji was terrified. Without any further hesitation, he immediately scooped up a spoonful of meat soup!

The word "death" disappeared.

Chen Ji's hands trembled slightly as he saw Lao Yang staring at him incredulously, as if Chen Ji had gone mad!

Xu Sandao's expression changed drastically at this moment, and he immediately understood Chen Ji's meaning.

I'll die if I don't eat!

Delaying it won't help.

"Uncle, have a bite too," Chen said very quickly, forcibly stuffing a bun into Lao Yang's hand.

At the same time, they were frantically exchanging meaningful glances.

The woman smiled again, the same smile curving upwards.

Chen Ji felt nauseous, but with the woman watching him, he had no choice but to eat.

The three of them silently took a sip of rice.

There were no surprises; the food tasted exactly as they expected, and they felt like vomiting after just one bite.

Chen Ji lowered his head, scooping up soup spoonful by spoonful, his collar concealing his pale face.

In fact, almost all of the broth in the spoon flowed down the side of the bowl and into the plate.

However, Chen Ji subtly shifted his body slightly to the side, obscuring the scene.

On the other side, Xu Sandao would take a few sips of soup, wipe his mouth with a tissue, and then immediately crumple the tissue into a ball and throw it on the ground.

Only Lao Yang's face turned pale at this moment. The woman kept staring at him, so he had no choice but to eat it.

Chen Ji looked at his bobbing Adam's apple and his heart sank.

Old Yang is about to throw up.

"Miss!"

Chen Ji suddenly called out to the woman beside him.

"what happened?"

The woman turned her head stiffly.

Chen Ji immediately stood up, blocking her view:

Did you drop your ring in the soup?

As he spoke, he took out the ring he had just seen in the broth, which he had already removed from his finger.

The woman stared blankly at Chen Ji.

"Here you go, don't lose it again, making money isn't easy."

Chen Ji quickly said, then sat back down in his original seat, no longer looking at her.

Old Yang had only drunk a little bit of the broth, but in just a short while, he finished it all.

The same goes for Chen Ji and the other two.

The area under the table is wet.

The woman stared at them for a while, and then slowly walked away.

The three of them immediately got up and quickly fled the cafeteria.

As they left, the cafeteria door slammed shut with a loud bang, as if there was no wind.

A moment later...

Next to the toilet.

All three of them vomited up what they had just eaten, and their faces turned pale.

"I have to go..."

Old Yang murmured, the events that had just occurred had solidified his resolve to leave.

This was the third ghost he knew of.

"Get the child out first." Xu Sandao pointed to the cafeteria dormitory: "That female ghost might go back."

This was determined based on Liu Yunfei's trajectory last night.

The three of them walked without stopping and immediately headed towards a row of cave dwellings behind the canteen.

Old Yang stopped in his tracks inside a tin-roofed shack.

"No one uses this house... Old Liu and his mistress usually meet here."

His expression was complicated; outside the door, he could already faintly smell a fishy odor.

Sure enough, there was a woman's corpse lying inside, her head twisted off.

Chen understood perfectly.

The female ghost in the cafeteria, Liu Yunfeng, and Liu Er's ghost all retain the forms they took when they died.

The three closed the door and searched outside the dormitory for a while, confirming that the female ghost was not there.

A moment later, Lao Yang brought the two children out.

The slightly older Xiaoyu had delicate features and was unaware of what had happened. He was carrying an old schoolbag and looked very nervous.

The baby was sleeping peacefully in its swaddling clothes.

Chen Ji took the baby, and the three of them hurried towards Si Yan's place.

"We work two shifts, and I only go down the mine this afternoon," Lao Yang said. "I need to ask if we're still delivering coal today."

"After I leave, you will all follow Old Sun."

Old Yang thought for a moment, then instructed Chen Ji and the other man, "He is an honest man with rich experience."

Chen Ji and Xu Sandao had already mentioned that they would not be leaving the mine for the time being.

"it is good."

Chen Ji nodded.

However, as the old saying goes, misfortunes never come singly, and a delayed boat is often met with a headwind.

The accountant, Four-Eyes, had just received the mine manager's latest instructions.

"The mine manager said... we won't be shipping coal out for the time being."

This news came like a bolt from the blue, shattering Lao Yang's hopes.

"Why?!"

"Is he crazy?"

Old Yang, in disbelief, collapsed helplessly to the ground.

Xu Sandao frowned slightly and said softly to Chen Ji:

Zeng Guichuan learned about Zhang Xiangdong's matter.

"He was determined to keep the news under wraps, probably because he was worried that the coal trucks would reveal the deaths."

The death toll is now high.

Once the news leaks, Zeng Guichuan's coal mine will most likely be shut down.
