Chapter 113 [Domain of Horror] Hope Shattered
Inside Ah Xiang's village house.
Chen Ji and the other three all frowned, their second conversation with the other dimension had ended.
The monkey doll only has one use left!
The information obtained from this conversation was mixed.
The good news is that Zheng Zhongshan confirmed that Liang Ming had visited his home before June 3rd and left an envelope!
According to Fei'er's account, the whole thing started like this:
After his release from prison, Zheng Zhongshan realized that if he continued to be involved in gangs, his future would be bleak.
With the new millennium approaching, he decided to follow Ah Xiang back to her hometown on the mainland to start a new life together.
On the eve of their departure from Xianggang, Liang Ming learned of this matter and entrusted the ghost book and an envelope to Zheng Zhongshan.
Liang Ming hopes that after leaving Xianggang, the Ghost Book will be free from the resentment here and return to normal.
Inside the envelope was a compilation of his proudest ghost stories, which he wanted Zheng Zhongshan to help him publish in mainland China.
That is:
[The Story of Liang Ming].
Chen Ji and the others already knew what happened next.
After Liang Ming disappeared, the Ghost Book dragged Zheng Zhongshan into another dimension, and Ah Xiang, eager to find her husband, opened the Ghost Book and became the second ghost story in it: [Wedding Dress].
Meanwhile, Fei'er had already found the envelope and taken out "Liang Ming's Story".
According to everyone's previous plan, after finding [Liang Ming's story], the exit of the Yu River should appear!
However......
Backfired.
The domain continues to operate; the story is not over.
why?
Ten minutes was too short a time. Fei'er only had time to hurriedly tell them the news before she lost contact again.
Tian Qinghe pondered:
"Could it be that we're heading in the wrong direction?"
"Is the ultimate goal of this domain not actually for us to find [Liang Ming's story]?"
But after thinking about it, he felt something was wrong.
With so many twists and turns, time constraints, and hidden backgrounds, Zheng Zhongshan's storyline must be very important.
"I think the problem lies in the page on 'Liang Ming's Story'."
Huici said with difficulty, her whole body still trembling as she sensed the ghost's return.
"Is there something wrong with the contents?"
Chen remained silent. He had the same guess, but he couldn't verify it.
The safe time allowed in the alternate dimension is too short!
Moreover, everything they knew was relayed by Phil, and if Phil had overlooked anything, they would have no way of knowing.
"Tian Qinghe".
Chen Ji thought for a moment, then turned his head and said:
"Is your clue book still usable?"
Tian Qinghe nodded and said frankly:
"It is possible, but I don't know if the conditions for using it are met."
[Clue Book]
[Ability: To generate a new clue by processing a sufficient number of known clues]
[Cost: Forgetting memories from random time periods]
Tian Qinghe briefly explained the mechanism of the clue book. A single domain can be used a maximum of 3 times, but due to the influence of prerequisites, it is often not used that many times.
This is also the fundamental reason why Tian Qinghe believes that the "going to the magazine" storyline will not lead to a conclusion.
He has filled in all the known clues, but can no longer obtain more information along this line.
"Try a different approach."
“Let’s add the information Zheng Zhongshan has.” Du Tingfeng pondered, “Combining it with the information from the magazine might lead to a new lead.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Ji was suddenly stunned.
His eyes flashed, but he didn't voice his thoughts for the time being.
Tian Qinghe nodded and wrote down all the information she had just learned from Fei'er.
After a while.
A portrait, as if printed out, slowly appeared on a new page of the draft.
Tian Qinghe's eyes glazed over for a moment, as if she had just woken up and forgotten the dream she had just had.
Chen Ji immediately waved his hand in front of him:
Do you remember us?
Tian Qinghe hummed in agreement, her expression relaxing.
He quickly reviewed the memory and found that the missing information was from a day during his recent vacation, which was not a big deal.
Before my eyes, the drawing in the clue book has been fully completed.
It's Du Tingfeng!
On the paper, Du Tingfeng is huddled in a small room, with a red cloth covering his chest.
Beside him, there was a simple drawing of a male and a female stick figure. The girl had a high ponytail and was clearly Fei'er.
"This clue..."
Du Tingfeng's gaze sharpened.
"Do you want me to go to another dimension?"
Chen Ji ran his finger across the upper right corner of the image, where a crescent moon hung in the sky.
The sky is only slightly dark now, and the moon has not yet appeared, so the time shown in the video should be one to two hours from now.
Now the four of them have changed their short-term goal again, which is to send Du Tingfeng into another dimension!
Huici believes that Du Tingfeng entered the room within ten minutes of the ghost disappearing.
Because at that time, the barrier between the alternate dimension and reality will become weaker.
This was confirmed by Phil.
The time she entered the alternate dimension also happened to fall within the safe timeframe.
The four sat down silently, waiting for the next ten minutes to arrive.
Meanwhile, the group also needed to find a way in.
Ah Xiang's village house fell silent once again.
.....
A rapid, labored breath shattered the silence of the hotel corridor!
"My grass!"
Liu Zi suddenly opened his eyes, breathing heavily!
"Brother Six!"
What came into his view was the newspaper boy's face, which was on the verge of tears.
Liu Zi suddenly sat up, a dull pain shooting through the back of his head, making him wince in pain.
"Xu Yuanshuang! You fucking launched a sneak attack!"
He gritted his teeth and roared, "Xu Yuanshuang and Li Bo are indeed hiding something!"
Liu Zi touched the back of his head again and realized that the wound on his head had been wrapped with gauze.
It was Liang Xiaobao who slipped out after Xu Yuanshuang and the other person left to bandage Liu Zi.
He had been hiding in his room, eavesdropping on everything that was happening outside.
Upon seeing the large pool of blood on the ground, Liang Xiaobao was terrified, fearing that Liu Zi was already dead, and cried out for a long time.
"Stop crying, I'm not dead."
Liu Zi took a deep breath and tapped Liang Xiaobao on the head.
What happened after I fainted?
"It seems they took one of Brother Chen's pens..."
Liang Xiaobao recounted the conversation he had overheard.
"...Later, Li Bo left. The woman who knocked you unconscious said she was going to the magazine office."
"It seems like he's going to get a piece of paper."
Liu Zi's eyes narrowed!
According to Liang Xiaobao, Tian Qinghe already knows the whereabouts of "Liang Ming's Story"—it's at the magazine office!
However, apart from Li Bo, everyone else insisted on rescuing Fei'er first.
Xu Yuanshuang definitely didn't want to waste so much time; she had most likely already gone to the magazine office and planned to go out first!
Liu Zi got up and walked out, holding the newspaper boy's hand with one hand, his expression very serious:
"Xiao Bao, where is the magazine they're talking about?"
"It's this address..."
