Thriller Zone: From the Mental Hospital to the Ghostly World

Chapter 577 [Domain - Second Gate] An Imperfect Plan

Sweat dripped from Luo Weicheng's forehead.

He kicked the door open, panting heavily, staring at the empty house... the blind man's house!

But at this moment, there was no one in the house. There was no big yellow dog, no blind man from that era, just an empty house like a model in a game.

This is undoubtedly due to domain restrictions... but it doesn't matter to Luo Weicheng.

He doesn't need to look for any clues now, he just needs to leave!

Turning my gaze to the window, I saw that the apartment was on the first floor, and the view outside the complex was clear from the window.

In the distance, a white figure carrying a knife could be seen walking towards the building.

Luo Weicheng's heart pounded as he walked from the cemetery to the Jinxiu Garden, with Ma Zhao following behind him.

Ma Zhao's pace was neither fast nor slow, but the pressure in Luo Weicheng's heart was like the dark clouds that kept gathering before a storm, growing heavier and darker.

He recalled a short video he had seen before, about a person who was cursed to be chased and hit on the head by a spoon for the rest of his life until he died.

When Luo Weicheng watched it, he only found it absurd and funny.

But he is the same now, except that the spoon has been replaced by Ma Zhao carrying a long knife.

Now he finally understands how terrifying that relentless, illogical pursuit can be!

This is the price to pay for obtaining the incense burner...

How much longer?

Forcibly calming his racing heart, Luo Weicheng glanced at his watch. He could stay in place for a maximum of two more minutes before he had to move to another location immediately.

The mourning continues...

Tears fell into the incense burner in his arms, where they were swallowed by the smoke.

Even though he had obtained the incense burner, Luo Weicheng still couldn't see the incense sticks clearly; he could only make out their approximate shape.

Same as before.

Three long and one short.

but......

Luo Weicheng frowned slightly. He didn't know if it was his imagination or a problem with his memory, but this newly grown fourth incense stick seemed to be a little longer than when he first saw it.

This is strange, because normally incense sticks should only burn shorter as they burn.

But the fourth incense stick completely defied the laws of physics, growing in the opposite direction, just like a sapling!

He had a strong feeling that the incense stick was strongly connected to the curse.

Is it a countdown?

Does this mean that he will die once the fourth incense stick is level with the first three?

Or is it that he can only leave then?

But in any case, he didn't have time to think about that now. Luo Weicheng walked quickly to the bathroom and sure enough, he saw a mirror there.

This looks like just an ordinary mirror cabinet.

But as the mirror changed angle and reflected the scene outside the door, Luo Weicheng's heart skipped a beat!

He could vaguely see a corner of the living room, where half of a familiar figure was revealed, leaning against the corner of the wall. It was Liu Zi!

"Six sons!"

Luo Weicheng shouted.

The figure in the mirror did not move at all.

Luo Weicheng didn't give up and called out twice more, but it didn't elicit any response.

It was as if he was calling out to the outside world from a vacuum; he could clearly see it, but his voice couldn't travel out.

".....Hold......"

Unable to hold back, Luo Weicheng swore. His face was extremely ugly. He had actually expected this, but he still hoped for a miracle.

He could see people from other groups because they were also Domain Enterers, but not from the Incense Burner Group, so they couldn't communicate directly like he and Wu Hui had done before.

So now all we can do is wait...?

But he didn't have time!

Outside the window, Ma Zhao's figure was no longer a small dot in the distance; he had entered the residential area and was staring intently at the small window of the bathroom.

Even though he knew Ma Zhao didn't rely on visual positioning, Luo Weicheng still felt a chill run down his spine when he met that venomous gaze.

He has to leave now!

But he's gone, so how would anyone else know he's here now?

Just then, Luo Weicheng suddenly touched his phone, and a thought struck him.

According to the previous curse, people in the real world can see not only those who enter the mirror world, but also ghosts.

Last time it was the ghost nurse; this time, it's Ma Zhao.

He doesn't need to be constantly in front of the mirror...

To prove to others that he was nearby, all he needed to do was let them see Ma Zhao!

Luo Weicheng quickly came up with a plan. It wasn't perfect, but it was the most advantageous plan for him at this stage.

He immediately turned on his phone, recorded a few seconds of his crying, set it to loop, and then wedged the phone under the mirror cabinet.

Immediately, a loud cry rang out in the bathroom, drowning out Luo Weicheng's own sobs.

My phone battery is very low; I don't know how much longer it can last.

But at least it can stall Ma Zhao for a while, and also buy me some more time to escape, killing two birds with one stone.

After doing all this, Luo Weicheng looked out the window again, and his eyelids twitched.

Ma Zhao has disappeared.

This proves that he has already circled around to the side of the residential building and will be inside in a few dozen seconds!

Without saying a word, Luo Weicheng rushed out the door. As soon as he stepped into the stairwell, he heard the sharp sound of a long knife slicing through the ground not far away.

This was the closest Ma Zhao came to him during the entire escape, except at the cemetery.

This time, even the only exit from the building was blocked...

stab-

It felt like being slashed repeatedly across his rapidly beating heart.

There were two elevators on the left, both stopped upstairs. Without a second's hesitation, Luo Weicheng turned around and ran straight to the stairwell.

He ran all the way to the third floor before stopping, panting heavily.

Even from a great distance, he could still hear the deafening wailing coming from the room on the first floor.

"Ma Zhao has already gone inside..."

Luo Weicheng made a preliminary assessment of the situation.

The recording on the phone started playing on the first floor, and Ma Zhao could hear it as soon as he entered the building. He was currently several floors away, and although he was still sobbing, his voice was somewhat muffled by the floors and walls.

His plan succeeded.

But Luo Weicheng felt no sense of relief.
