Trembling At A High Altitude

Wang Min also ran over and slapped Chen Ziwen on the head.

Chen Ziwen fell to the ground on his butt, looking even more terrified.

"He can't hear or see us, can he? This feels so weird!"

"Yeah, are we really ghosts?"

"Stop talking nonsense, we're just pretending to be ghosts."

"Film and Television City is really amazing, pretend to be a ghost and you actually become one, invisible and inaudible to others."

The female students were chattering among themselves, curious about the scene unfolding before them.

"Hey! Can you hear me when I talk to you?" Huang Tingting leaned in and shouted into Chen Ziwen's ear.

Chen Ziwen had no reaction, continuing to look around frightened, then turned his gaze to Li Teng.

"Have you decided yet? I think there are some things you don't need to look up, you can tell us straight away." Li Teng squatted in front of Chen Ziwen, patting his face.

"Have all the wronged souls been brought back?" Chen Ziwen looked very dejected.

"What do you think?" Li Teng glanced at Elsa, who then kicked Chen Ziwen in the waist.

Besides the initial kick to Chen Ziwen's groin, the other kicks and hits Elsa and Wang Min dealt to Chen Ziwen were not hard, just for show in front of Li Teng, and didn't cause much physical harm to Chen Ziwen, mainly inflicting a lot of psychological fear.

"Let me think." Chen Ziwen lowered his head, looking very distressed.

The office quieted down, and Li Teng, seeing Chen Ziwen like this, didn't press him further; it would be best if he was willing to confess on his own.

"We can hit him, which means he can feel us, so if he tried to grab us, wouldn't we not be able to run away?"

"Yeah, aren't ghosts supposed to be intangible and formless? But we all have bodies, can touch everything around us."

"Being an invisible person isn't bad either! Stealing money and things all over the place."

"What's the use of stealing money and things in the Scripted World?"

The girls started to chatter again.

"Hey, there's something I find strange, we have bodies, we're just invisible, so in this situation, tell me, what would happen if we peed on his head?" Huang Tingting posed a bizarre question.

"You try and find out." Liu Shina responded to Huang Tingting.

"No way I'm trying that! It's too embarrassing."

"Nobody can see you, anyway."

"The Alliance Hierarch can see us, oh right, Shina, what was with you and the Alliance Hierarch last night?" Huang Tingting suddenly remembered something.

"What was with me last night? Don't talk nonsense!" Liu Shina's face instantly reddened.

"I saw it, you were sitting on the Alliance Hierarch's..."

"Stop talking nonsense! Are some things for you to discuss?" Wang Min cut off Huang Tingting, really, what a bunch of clueless, tactless kids. The Alliance Hierarch and Liu Shina had done something enjoyable while everyone else was asleep, and she was talking about it? Do they still want to stay in this crew?

Who would have thought Liu Shina, that little temptress, was bold enough to fool around right in front of Liu Yin.

But the Alliance Hierarch probably didn't expect Yang Yiju to suddenly scream and ruin their fun, did he?

Li Teng was originally focused on waiting for Chen Ziwen to say something, but as he listened more to the girls' conversation, something didn't sound right. Since when did he and Liu Shina have a thing?

These matters originally could have been clarified after an inquiry, Teacher Wang, but by silencing Huang Tingting like that, haven't you confirmed an incident that never occurred?

"Boss, do you really not remember anything?" Chen Ziwen finally spoke up.

"I remember some things, but some things I've forgotten. I need to see just how truthful you are before I decide how to deal with you." Li Teng continued to intimidate Chen Ziwen, not understanding the situation.

"I'm a victim too!" Chen Ziwen's face was full of grievance.

"Then start from the beginning, whether you're a victim or not, I will give you fair judgement." Li Teng gestured to Elsa, who quickly understood and hurriedly fetched two chairs along with another girl.

After Li Teng sat down, he had Chen Ziwen sit across from him.

Seeing Li Teng casually commanding wronged souls, and chairs coming over out of thin air, Chen Ziwen's face showed a horrified expression once again.

"So cool! We could form a magic performance team, with the senior in charge of directing and us handling various flying props. We would definitely make a fortune!"

"Creative."

"Haha, I'm dying of laughter."

"The senior is discussing serious matters, can you keep it down?"

"They can't hear us talking anyway."

"But the senior can hear us!"

"Quiet! Quiet! Stop all the chatter, you girls are such a nuisance!"

…

"Then I'll start from... from when the recovery center construction began," Chen Ziwen said, lowering his head to start speaking.

"Mm, tell everything you can think of, no matter how trivial," Li Teng emphasized.

"Some incidents I experienced personally, but there are others I just heard about. I'll talk about what I've thought of..."

"At first, the ones who came to work were from a construction team."

"This research recovery center was previously a psychiatric hospital from decades ago. After the construction team arrived, they realized that the hospital's decades-old reinforced concrete structure was still intact, not only intact but also exceptionally solid and sturdy without any issues."

"Therefore, the construction team's boss had ulterior motives; he didn't demolish the original building to reconstruct the research center but instead merely refurbished the surface of the original building. However, during the renovation process, there were several occurrences of workers witnessing strange ghostly figures, and a few workers mysteriously disappeared."

"Since those workers were from remote mountainous regions and to avoid compensation, combined with the fact that the disappeared workers were neither seen alive nor found dead, the construction team's boss paid the remaining workers hush money and kept the incidents concealed."

"How did it get exposed later?" Li Teng interjected.

"The construction team's boss went insane, he revealed it himself... in that activity room; he seemed quite familiar with you, the one with the scar on the left side of his face..." Chen Ziwen pointed towards the large room Li Teng had previously visited.

"Oh, continue," Li Teng said, instantly understanding that it was the same patient who had enthusiastically chatted with him, claiming to be a genius.

"After the research center was refurbished, they began recruiting experiment participants with high salaries from the outside world."

"Experiment participants?" Li Teng interrupted Chen Ziwen once again.

"Yes, the full name here is the Research Recovery Center for Severe Paranoid Personality Disorder. The primary focus is on research, and recovery is just a cover for finding test subjects. The main purpose, you must be very aware, boss, is to thoroughly investigate the disease's mechanisms and treatment methods for your own treatment," Chen Ziwen glanced at Li Teng.

"Continue," Li Teng maintained his composure.

It seemed the role he was playing wasn't exactly that of a good person; he had spent money to build this research recovery center for his own treatment, treating the other patients like lab rats.
