Thriller Zone: From the Mental Hospital to the Ghostly World

Chapter 153 [Domain: Red-Eye Flight] Chat Room

"Chen Ji!"

Just then, a cheerful voice rang out.

Chen Ji looked at Liu Zi, who was leaning against the door in a pure black uniform, and his mind immediately went into chaos!

"Captain, your friend has been delivered to you."

The flight attendant smiled slightly and retreated to the rear cabin, considerately pulling the curtain closed for them.

"You...I..."

"Wait, Liu Zi, how did you become a captain?!"

Chen Ji was utterly shocked.

He broke out in a cold sweat, feeling like he wouldn't even make it to the landing site!

"I don't know," Liu Zi said, shrugging.

"Can you fly a plane?"

Chen Ji immediately asked, this was a crucial question!

Liu Zi shook his head.

"......"

Chen Ji sighed heavily.

"It's okay, there's a co-pilot, it's not my turn to fly."

Liu Zi stepped forward, his expression turning serious:

"Did you die once before?"

Chen Ji nodded and recounted to him everything that had happened in the cabin.

"...That's about it, everyone died."

"Then time rewinds, and guidance appears."

Liu Zi's expression finally relaxed a bit: "Oh, that's alright."

He pointed to the cockpit and said with a hint of helplessness:

"Holy crap, the first thing I did when I opened my eyes was to find myself holding a joystick, and right in front of me was a pitch-black sky thousands of meters above the ground!"

"Do you know what this feels like?"

Chen Ji shook his head, unable to empathize; he was just a passenger.

Liu Zi: "It's like you open a game save file that you haven't played in ten years, and when you log in you find that you're robbing an armored truck, and there are ten police cars chasing you."

“…I understand.” A hint of sympathy appeared in Chen Ji’s eyes.

"Forget it, I'll just say I have a stomachache and let the co-pilot take control," Liu Zi said nonchalantly.

That's better...

Chen Ji was lost in thought when suddenly something occurred to him:

How did you know my location?

Liu Zi smiled nonchalantly: "Ask the flight attendants! The captain has a lot of power!"

That’s right!

Chen Ji's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately whispered:

"Call the flight attendant over now and tell her not to serve the meals."

After thinking for a moment, he added, "Don't provide water or drinks either."

Liu Zi was taken aback, then realized: "You think that's related to the death incident last time?"

Chen Ji nodded.

He noticed that everyone's discomfort started in their stomach first.

Next, hair grows from the eye sockets, ears, nose, and throat, eventually bursting through the body and causing death.

Those endlessly splitting and elongating strands of hair...

If a single ghost's hair were found in these meals and was ingested by passengers, it could very well become the starting point for a multiplication, like a plague.

"I see."

Liu Zi's expression turned serious, and he immediately picked up the walkie-talkie.

After a brief conversation, he nodded.

"arranged."

Chen Ji felt relieved: "OK."

Without pausing, he immediately brought up other matters: "I have already found two people who have entered the realm."

"One is the young man in the white shirt with a 36E bust, and the other is a flight attendant surnamed Lan."

Chen Ji noticed the flight attendant surnamed Lan's clumsy handling and flustered expression.

This is not a mistake that a flight attendant flying a wide-body aircraft would make.

There are at least 200 people on this flight, and it's impossible for an inexperienced newcomer to be assigned here.

Chen Ji turned around and glanced at the bottom of the curtain, where he could vaguely see people moving around.

"I'll observe the other entrants for a while longer."

Liu Zi asked, somewhat puzzled, "I'm a captain now, can't I just make an announcement over the loudspeaker?"

Chen Ji shook his head. He had just had the same thought, but he quickly dismissed it.

"The risk is a bit too high."

“This isn’t an open space; it’s too small. If you broadcast it, the ghosts will know immediately.”

"And we don't even know our current situation..."

He pondered, "Where might a ghost's conditions for killing lie? Could it be disguised as a passenger...?"

"These are all unknowns."

“Once it’s broadcast, it’s like we’ve revealed our hand.”

Liu Zi nodded solemnly.

But the inability to communicate is also a problem.

This means that clues cannot be shared.

“I think the domain might offer us other communication options.”

Chen Ji thought for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Does the screen in front of the seat have a chat function?"

He knew that some airplanes had chat rooms for passengers to pass the time.

Liu Zi said speechlessly, "Brother, I'm not a passenger, how would I know?"

Chen Ji immediately turned and left:

"I'll go back and take a look."

"So fast?" Liu Zi said in surprise, "Aren't you going to chat with me a little longer?"

"I don't know anyone here—"

The sound disappeared into the air.

Chen Ji had already walked back to the economy class cabin in a few steps.

It wasn't that he didn't want to spend time with Liu Zi, but rather that time was simply too tight!

At the same time, it is very likely that this domain will only rewind time once!

In other words, next time, if you die, you die.

He glanced at the white-clad man who was still reading a magazine, then went straight back to his seat.

Fei'er was reading a novel on her phone, swiping down the page, skipping over line after line of text.

"Liu Zi is the captain."

Chen Ji immediately whispered in her ear.

"Oh."

Fei'er didn't even look up.

He remained focused on the words on his phone.

The next second, she suddenly froze, her mouth agape in disbelief:

"what?"

Chen Ji nodded.

It's hard to accept, but that's the truth.

"Could he arrange for us to sit in business class?"

Fei'er thought for a moment, then suddenly asked.

"Does this count as using connections?"

Chen Ji: "......"

Shouldn't we have asked Liu Zi if he can fly a plane first...?

Forget it.

He shook his head; Fei'er's thought process was unusual.

Chen Ji then tapped on the screen in front of him and swiped through the apps one by one, but couldn't find the chat room function.

"There's none?"

Chen Ji was taken aback. Could one of the difficulties of this domain be the restriction of communication?

Fei'er placed her phone in front of him:

"A total of nine people came in this time."

Chen Ji paused for a moment, then looked at Fei'er's phone, but all he saw was a slowly scrolling novel.

"Your Highness, who do you truly love—"

Chen Ji read the words aloud, his head full of question marks.

Fei'er was a little confused: "What are you talking about?"

Chen Ji pointed to the phone screen. "Didn't you tell me to read this novel?"

"What novel?"

Fei'er frowned and said, "It's clearly a chat room!"

There's no internet on the plane, so where do you find a chat room on your phone?

Chen Ji was somewhat confused and picked up his phone.

He opened the screen and his eyes narrowed slightly.

There were many unread messages on it.

It all came from a software he had never installed.

【A Strange Journey】

He clicked on it and found that it seemed to be connected via Bluetooth.

The chat room interface is very simple, with a row of gray avatars at the top and names below.

[Zhang Peng, Chen Ji, Fei'er, Lan Meng, Wan Xiaoshuang, Qi Chen, Wu Zhou, Liu Zi, Sun Weiming.]

Chen Ji scrolled to the top, starting with the first system administrator notification: "[Chat room is now enabled]", and then scrolled to the last message.

Someone tagged him: 【@Chen Ji @Zhang Peng】

[Sun Weiming: Just say so if you're here]

Chen Ji: I'm here.

He didn't report his location, and after checking, he found that Fei'er had simply sent a "1", without mentioning anything else.

Among the others, some gave a report, while others simply responded with a few words.

"Sun Weiming is at 53K, Qi Chen is at 59F..."

Both of them were in economy class at the back.

Lanmeng and Liuzi are not passengers, so they naturally don't have seats.

New information popped up.

[Sun Weiming: @Zhang Peng @Where is Zhang Peng?]

Chen Ji heard a series of ringing sounds coming from a location 36E ahead.

Is it the man in the white shirt?

He looked up at the front for a while, and then his brows slowly furrowed.

Not right.

"What's wrong?" Fei'er noticed that Chen Ji's expression was off.

"If that was Zhang Peng... why didn't he react at all after hearing the message?"

Chen Ji murmured, standing up from his seat.

The man in the white shirt was still looking down.

A magazine was placed on her lap.

To his left was an old man fast asleep, and to his right was empty.

Chen Ji immediately walked to the right of the man in white, sat down next to him, and leaned down to look at his face.

how......

Chen Ji's eyes widened suddenly!

I uploaded a seating chart for a red-eye flight to the book community. Take a look and imagine where you, the newcomers, will be seated.
