Thriller Zone: From the Mental Hospital to the Ghostly World

Chapter 578 [Domain · Second Gate] In dire straits, a meeting!

layer.

Two layers.

The intense escape had soaked Luo Weicheng's clothes with cold sweat.

Sweat soaked his back, sliding down his gaping wound and causing a stinging pain.

The treetops were no longer visible outside the window, and the noise from the street gradually faded away; he had reached about the fifteenth floor.

Luo Weicheng's mind was in turmoil.

Those who can enter this domain have entered at least eight times, and have walked through the gates of hell countless times.

He was no exception, of course.

As a veteran entrant to the realm, he had already honed his powerful physical strength and willpower through repeated experiences of fear.

Even so, Luo Weicheng still feels an unprecedented sense of despair.

The most annoying mechanism in the domain is the "Interval" column, which has no clear difficulty division, only difficult, very difficult, to the point of being almost unsolvable!

Until they entered, no one knew what level of difficulty this domain would be classified as.

Unfortunately, they encountered a near-unsolvable predicament in the Ninth Domain.

Looking down at the incense burner in his arms, the fourth incense stick was still burning faintly, and a trace of weariness flashed in Luo Weicheng's eyes.

Perhaps it's a rational deduction, or perhaps it's instinct...?

A sense of despair slowly rose in his heart.

Is there no solution?

Luo Weicheng's dry, chapped lips moved slightly.

The fourth incense stick was still faintly visible in the smoke, but his premonition became clearer.

Then, as if erased by his own hand, it transformed into the figure of Wu Hui kicking pebbles.

Luo Weicheng sighed.

In the brief silence, he heard the entire building fall silent.

Only his sorrowful sobs could be heard.

A few seconds later, a barely perceptible sizzling sound came from downstairs in the distance.

My phone is off.

The time was even shorter than he had expected...

Whoever it is, Chen Ji, Fei'er, Liu Zi... have you seen Ma Zhao?

If you see this, please, please know that I am here!

wait for me!

Luo Weicheng's heartbeat gradually quickened, but his pace slowed down instead!

First, his physical strength could no longer sustain it.

Secondly, it's a cat-and-mouse game, and the key lies in the difference in distance and time.

In order to gain more time to communicate with others after exiting the elevator, he had to take Ma Zhao to a higher floor as much as possible.

For example, if he takes the elevator to the first floor and Ma Zhao is only on the fifth floor, then the other party can easily turn back.

Based on his previous observations, Ma Zhao's speed, ideally should be—

should......

stab-

Luo Weicheng felt a shiver run through his body as he heard the buzzing sound of the blade slicing through the ground. Without any warning, the frequency suddenly increased!

At the same time, a wail he had never heard before, filled with extreme pain and rage, rang out downstairs!

That wasn't even mourning...

It's more like a wild beast that has lost its cubs, roaring at its target after losing all reason.

Before he could even think about why, Luo Weicheng's survival instinct immediately took over his body. By the time he came to his senses, he had already scrambled forward several steps!

His mind went blank, his plans were completely disrupted, and he only knew one thing:

Ma Zhao is here!

So fast!

The unique structure of the stairwell allowed him to clearly hear Ma Zhao's footsteps, even from so many floors away. They were fast and heavy, echoing, buzzing, and thumping in the stairwell!

Bang!

Bang!

It struck Luo Weicheng's heart heavily.

He dared not linger any longer and ran towards the top floor, panting heavily!

The last three floors!

Luo Weicheng cried out in anguish, his eyes stinging with pain.

layer!

The entire stairwell echoed with Ma Zhao's wailing, as he muttered two names that Luo Weicheng had never heard of before.

Top floor!

Luo Weicheng took a deep breath, flung open the door, and felt a sudden sense of relief!

Lady Luck was incredibly kind to him; the elevator happened to stop on the 26th floor.

He slammed his hand on the button to go downstairs, watching the numbers on it jump around, his heart pounding.

calm.

Calm down, even if Ma Zhao increases his speed, he can't teleport right now!

Luo Weicheng has figured out that Ma Zhao does not have the ability to teleport; the previous teleportation was, to be precise, a "refresh".

Once the chase begins, the other party won't have the capability to do so...

...Probably not?

Ding-dong-

The sound of the elevator doors breaking Luo Weicheng's thoughts.

The wailing in the hallway was also briefly silenced.

As soon as Luo Weicheng stepped into the elevator, he heard a continuous clanging sound, like a long knife scraping across the ground at high speed!

He got goosebumps all over his body.

But the elevator doors finally closed.

The numbers are jumping.

The elevator carried Luo Weicheng down to the first floor.

"Holy shit..."

Luo Weicheng's heart was still pounding. He leaned weakly against the wall and let out a heavy sigh of relief.

This is not psychological terror, but the panic that arises when a person is injured, most helpless, and then being hunted down.

Only then did he notice that there was a mirror in the elevator.

The reflection showed a figure with tattered clothes and a pale face. There was a bluish-purple handprint on the withered upper arm, the face was covered with tears, and there was a deep wound on the back that revealed the bone.

Looking at his disheveled reflection in the mirror, Luo Weicheng felt as if he had been transported to another world.

It was at this moment that he truly realized how bad his condition was.

Everything just happened so fast...

Suddenly, Luo Weicheng shivered, realizing something:

Could Ma Zhao press the elevator button on a certain floor and come straight in?

But he quickly dismissed the idea.

Because Ma Zhao had clearly lost his mind, it was precisely for this reason that his flawed plan was able to be implemented.

If Ma Zhao were still capable of thinking, he would have stopped him in the elevator long ago.

Put that thought aside.

The problem now is, how do we get the incense burner...out there?

Luo Weicheng stared at the mirror. The biggest problem with this curse was that he was being hunted down by Ma Zhao, and the domain had not yet provided any clues about sending out the incense burner.

So the difficulty might not lie here, or it might even be surprisingly simple?

Imagine the mirror as a body of water, with the sky above and the river below; passing it is like sinking the incense burner.

Just as Luo Weicheng was pondering...

suddenly.

Boom!

The entire elevator shook violently!

Luo Weicheng's heart skipped a beat. The next second, he felt a strong sense of weightlessness. The elevator had stopped!

But it's not the kind of situation where it's normally parked on a certain floor.

But it's during the high-speed descent...

It was forcibly stopped by something.

Through the mirror, Luo Weicheng saw with horror that the number on it was stuck between 19 and 20.

Subsequently.

He heard a metallic sound that made his teeth ache.

Something pried open the elevator door from the outside, creating a crack.

Half black, half white.

Ma Zhao has truly lost his mind...

But he still has instincts.

The distortion of his physical condition by mourning clothes.

And his powerful hearing, which could pinpoint Luo Weicheng's location even as he moved...

The sound of heartbreaking cries once again filled the elevator.

Luo Weicheng stared in horror at the mirror, where a pair of scarlet eyes were revealed through the gradually widening gap.

Staring at his own back.

"Ugh..."

Tears streamed down her face from those venomous eyes, accompanied by a chilling curse filled with hatred:

"Zhang Wei...you deserve to die!!"

Luo Weicheng felt a chill in his heart.

There is no other way.

Hold......

He can't blame anyone.

They were forced from the outside world into the residential building, and then forced into this completely enclosed space.

All because Luo Weicheng chose the more risky path.

And a plan riddled with flaws, yet one he had no choice but to use.

But... he just wanted to give the incense burner away before Wu Hui died...

Luo Weicheng's eyes stung, his expression filled with despair and sorrow, but a self-deprecating and bitter smile appeared on his lips.

However.....

at this time.

He suddenly froze, his pupils shrinking slightly.

Looking in the mirror, he suddenly saw the elevator buttons flash once, and he instantly jumped to the first floor.

How can it be? !

Luo Weicheng turned his head sharply, only to see Ma Zhao's malicious face, who was about to squeeze in!

The elevator is still between the 19th and 20th floors.

But why have the numbers in the mirror changed?

and many more.

Luo Weicheng's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately turned around to look in the mirror!

He was right.

He's not alone here anymore.

Two light, floating paper figures stepped into the elevator in another world.

A golden boy and a jade girl.

Chen Ji, Fei'er.
