Thriller Zone: From the Mental Hospital to the Ghostly World

Chapter 294 [Domain · Wedding Banquet] begins simultaneously

At first, Du Tingfeng suspected that Miyake himself was a ghost.

But how can ghosts grow old, and how can they have children?

Moreover, according to the information Yin Ziqin gathered on the first day, the villagers had not noticed anything unusual. Both the Zheng and Zhou residences were large, established families that had been passed down through generations.

The key factor that allowed Du Tingfeng to make a direct deduction was the form of the "ghost".

They were originally "invisible".

The long-haired ghost that appeared on the first day, and the panting ghost that appeared on the second day, were both like this.

Therefore, the most likely explanation is that in the past, an "invisible ghost" also appeared, taking over the nest and replacing the first wave of people in Miyake's household.

At the same time, this is definitely not a long-term solution.

Otherwise, they wouldn't need to molt at all. It's very likely that once they are replaced by humans, their skin will still age over time and their bodily functions will decline, which is why they choose a second wave of targets.

That is to say, Xiao Yan... Li Fengxiu is also very likely to belong to the second wave.

Greyhounds may have the effect of delaying aging.

Du Tingfeng was also recalling what Chen Ji had said: even a Source Corpse would eventually be depleted due to internal or external reasons, and was not completely invincible, which led to this speculation.

The situation gradually became clear.

So their main enemy is actually the ghost.

Miyake is nothing more than a demon in disguise.

The problem now is that we don't know exactly how many ghosts were in the first wave back then.

But in any case, there is only one thing they need to do right now.

Du Tingfeng and Yin Ziqin squatted under the corridor. The note they left behind had long been destroyed, and Wu Gong was dozing off.

The hourglass will run out in no more than ten minutes.

“Just like how you dealt with Xiao Yan before,” Du Tingfeng said, “Just do a superficial show.”

He pointed meaningfully to the tools on the ground.

"There's no need to reinforce it that much."

It is known that the black goat and the demon are also enemies.

Those who enter the realm and those who are demons are also enemies.

If you really try to reinforce the door for the ghosts, you're just asking for trouble and trapping them inside the house.

Now that things have come to this, Chen Ji's bold idea from last night has actually become a reality, and he can use the black mother goat and the hostility of the three families to seek a way to survive.

"Walk."

After waiting another minute, Du Tingfeng no longer hesitated and woke up Wu Gong.

Wu Gong suddenly opened his eyes, but there was no drowsiness or confusion in them; on the contrary, he was perfectly awake.

Du Tingfeng gave him a meaningful look, but didn't say anything more, and simply pushed the cart away.

Yin Ziqin was from the Zheng residence.

Wu Gong doesn't need to be moved; he can remain at the Zhou residence.

Du Tingfeng was in charge of the Li residence.

Each of them carried an hourglass and walked to the front of the Li residence. Du Tingfeng looked at the tightly closed vermilion door and suddenly looked up at the sky.

It's going to be another thunderstorm.

Rumbling--

At the very second that the hourglass ran out of time, a thunderclap sounded.

Du Tingfeng did not make a move.

He was testing the waters, wondering what would happen if he didn't follow the rules.

After a few seconds.

Watching the sand slowly flow at the bottom of the hourglass, Du Tingfeng listened to his increasingly slow heartbeat and sighed helplessly.

He bent down and leaned the locust wood plank against the door.

The heart rate, no longer synchronized with the flow rate of the sand, gradually returned to normal.

"We need to find the right balance..."

He stared at the iron nails to the side.

Without further hesitation, Du Tingfeng roughly drilled a hole that was slightly larger than the standard size.

......

At the foot of the hill, in the open space outside the sheepfold.

Just like yesterday afternoon, a light drizzle was falling and the sky was overcast.

Chen Ji lowered his head and frowned slightly.

Chang Hao is indeed dead.

He died in the exact same way as Jiang Zhong.

Because, just now, when they were hiding on the side installing the fence, they saw "Jiang Zhong" walk over with his waist twisting and throw a dead black goat into the sheep pen.

Through the mist, both of them could see a figure waiting for "Jiang Zhong" at the end of the road. Judging from the height, it was "Chang Hao".

However, the behavior of these two people is very different from that of the original owner.

Chang Hao also had his ears cut off, his eyes gouged out, and his tongue pulled out; however, apart from the throat-cutting wound, he had no other wounds on his body.

And the others...

Chen Ji had already deduced that Tan Xiangsong was murdered by someone by observing the difference between rotten and fresh grass.

The most likely scapegoat is Wu Gong.

There are two reasons. First, the smell of cow dung doesn't dissipate, which is illogical. Second, when the ghost of the donkey cart was choosing people, only Chen Ji and Wu Gong had their faces touched.

Moreover, Wu Gong has a prior record of deliberately concealing clues.

Jiang Zhong ignored them and left after delivering the sheep.

After examining the body, both men remained silent for a long time with somber expressions.

“There were only nine people in total.” Chu Jing’s expression was dazed. “One is missing, one is dead, and two others… turned into sheep.”

"Ghosts are harming people, and people are killing each other."

And this event has only been halfway through, not even counting the day of the "wedding banquet".

"Is there really no way out for us?"

Chu Jing didn't believe it from the bottom of her heart. This was only a domain of medium difficulty, how could it be so difficult?

Chen Ji also felt something was wrong.

He had been to Tuotuo Mountain, which was the ninth level of difficulty. Although dangerous, there was a way to survive.

But the wedding banquet venue was less about being "difficult" and more about being "chaotic."

So many different identities!

Firstly, it is said that if a person eats mutton, they will turn into a "gray goat," which is beneficial to ghosts.

Then, cutting down the locust tree will summon new ghosts.

But under the threat of the demons, the entrants had no choice but to cut down the trees.

There is also the "Black Goat," who is a person who was replaced by a ghost. However, the ewe that comes to them every night had already appeared before everyone entered the realm!

Who was it originally?

Based on their behavior, the most likely candidates are the following two:

Grandma Zheng (who has not been seen to this day), Li Fengxiu (who has been replaced).

And where does the ghost that replaced the mother sheep come from?

"Let's see if anyone else has any new leads after we get back to the house."

Looking at the dense, dark forest on the back mountain, Chen Ji seemed lost in thought.

When I go to the back mountain to cut wood tomorrow, I must find a way to make contact with the madman.

He already had a guess about this person's identity, because there was only one day left until the wedding banquet, but another key figure had yet to appear...

And Hua Yilan, she should be with the madman and the goat now, she's definitely not dead.

The extended fence has been installed.

Two new sheep pen doors lay on the ground, one inside and one outside.

Rumbling--

A bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, and at the same moment, the last grain of sand in the hourglass was completely lost!

"Do it your way, do as I say!"

Chen Ji immediately spoke to Chu Jing.
