Thriller Zone: From the Mental Hospital to the Ghostly World

Chapter 315 Mutation

"help me?"

Chen Ji was stunned. He had always assumed that Du Muyu's interest in the "schizophrenia-related matricide case" stemmed from her profession as a psychological counselor!

"Mmm." Du Muyu closed her eyes slightly, her voice growing softer and softer.

"But the strangest thing is that I don't actually know what my parents' voices sound like, because I have absolutely no memory of their voices or appearances."

"But I'm convinced that the two figures in my dream are them."

"The people who spoke to me were also them."

"Chen Ji..." A hint of confusion appeared in her voice: "Do you think they really exist? Or is it all just my imagination?"

Chen remained silent.

Du Muyu didn't seem to expect him to answer. She breathed a weak sigh of relief, and her eyelids closed heavily as if they couldn't hold on any longer.

A few seconds later, the sleep monitor next to her showed that she had fallen asleep again.

Silence fell over the ward once again. Chen Ji sat in a chair, lost in thought.

All of this confirmed his earlier suspicions once again: he wasn't the only one with secrets.

Why did the Du siblings' parents say "help him"?

Chen Ji listed two possibilities: one was that they had met before.

Secondly, there's the ability to leverage power; "helping Chen Ji" is beneficial to Du Muyu's future.

Another crucial question is whether Du Tingfeng has a similar situation.

Chen Ji immediately left the ward and called Du Tingfeng to tell him everything that had just happened.

Du Tingfeng was completely unaware of this matter.

At the same time, he had never heard the voices of his so-called "parents".

So this has nothing to do with blood relations; it just happens exclusively to Du Muyu, and Du Muyu's only unusual symptom...

"It's the tumor in my sister's brain that's causing this."

On the other end of the phone, Du Tingfeng's voice sounded very gloomy: "All the strange things only appeared after her condition worsened."

"I believe that the tumor is compressing her brain, causing hallucinations and auditory hallucinations, which is why she intermittently falls into a coma."

Chen Ji remained silent.

If it were before Christmas, he might have thought the same thing, but after witnessing the change in Du Muyu's face, Chen Ji had a vague feeling...

Everything that happened to Du Muyu can no longer be explained by science.

After a few seconds of silence, Chen Ji changed the subject and didn't continue the discussion.

He was gradually beginning to understand why Du Tingfeng, who had entered the domain multiple times, would so stubbornly ignore the abnormalities in his sister...

Because Du Tingfeng was afraid.

If Du Muyu were just sick, he could convince himself that he would get better one day, and if he was lucky enough, the surgery would have a 100% success rate.

He can still control the situation and fight for a chance of survival!

But if it's for other reasons... for example, something related to ghosts.

What awaited the Du siblings was complete uncertainty and despair.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Ji returned to his bedside and sat there in a daze, waiting for Du Tingfeng to take over.

a long time.....

He took out a fountain pen.

"What if my guess is right?" he murmured silently. "Is it possible that I can actually help them?"

If "luck" cannot change the outcome, then if we add "fate," can we reverse Du Muyu's fate?

The pen lay quietly in his palm.

The scraps on the pen cap gleamed, casting a faint halo over Du Muyu's ashen face...

......

Springtime has arrived in the blink of an eye.

Even though Du Tingfeng didn't say anything after their last phone call, he was clearly in a state of turmoil.

When Chen Ji went to the hospital again, he heard that the doctor seemed to have developed anxiety disorder, constantly confirming his condition with the doctor and asking about every single detail.

It was as if only in this way could he feel at ease.

But soon he was no longer able to go to the hospital.

For three consecutive days, the price of the chips suddenly began to fluctuate wildly, dropping below 100 at its lowest point, and Du Tingfeng's luck plummeted.

Du Tingfeng was involved in three car accidents while simply going to the hospital.

The first time, his favorite silver sports car was scratched. He didn't believe it was bad luck and went home to buy a sports coupe instead.

The second time, it was rear-ended; it was replaced again.

The third time, in a chain-reaction car accident, the airbags deployed, and Du Tingfeng suffered a fracture on the spot.

The danger level of the accident was gradually increasing, and Chen Ji even suspected that if they tried again, it would very likely result in someone's death.

Du Tingfeng wasn't the only one who ran into trouble.

Wan Xiaoshuang called Chen Ji to tell him that she had been unable to contact Xu Sandao for several days.

Chen Ji then discovered that Xu Sandao's WeChat secondary account had been deleted! His phone was also switched off.

All of this, like the dark clouds before a typhoon, stirred up a strong sense of unease in everyone's hearts.

just like......

It's like something big is about to happen.

At that very moment, Chen Ji's eighth domain suddenly opened; at the same instant, Du Tingfeng's stakes plummeted to their lowest point.

This undoubtedly foreshadows that once he enters the domain, he will be in greater danger than anyone else.

Or perhaps it's hinting at something...

Once inside, something might happen that Du Tingfeng will deeply regret.

The Yu River flowed gently as Chen Ji and Fei'er stood blankly in Du Tingfeng's living room, looking at each other in bewilderment.

The same worry flashed in their eyes.

"Liu Zi will be back this afternoon." Behind them, Du Tingfeng murmured, "You guys go into the domain first, don't worry about me here."

"Don't overthink it..."

"Come back alive."

A strong suction force gradually emanated from the Yuhe River.

With no other option, Chen Ji only had time to send a text message to his uncle, asking him to come and take care of him, before he and Fei'er were swept into the domain...

The sound of water disappeared instantly.

The living room was silent.

Du Tingfeng's heart was pounding faster and faster. He stared at his chips, but the passive value on them was still slowly dropping.

What exactly happened?

From one hundred to ten.

5.

4.

3.2.1.

......

Ultimately, it stabilized at a certain number.

0.

"Drip-drip-"

The urgent ringing of the telephone suddenly echoed throughout the living room.

Du Tingfeng answered the phone with trembling hands.

"Hello? Is this Mr. Du? I'm Ms. Du Muyu's attending physician..."
