Frightening Joke: Above the Mist
Chapter 100 Human and Ghost

Chapter 100: Chapter 100 Human and Ghost

It’s not a disguise, nor is it faint, but a thick, palpable fear!

Bai Yanliang could even feel the changes in his body due to the influence of the emotion of fear.

Breathing, heartbeat, muscles, the feeling of being out of control spreading.

Bai Yanliang found it hard to describe his current mood. Should he be happy?

After all... fear is also an emotion...

Since he could remember, he never experienced such intense emotional fluctuations.

His past life was like a stagnant pool, even if there was an occasional ripple, it couldn’t stir any wave in his heart.

Just like... Yu Sheng.

He could vaguely sense the emotions hidden in her gaze towards him, but sensing it was one thing, whether he could feel it himself was another.

What disappointed Bai Yanliang was that the fear came and went quickly, and when he focused his gaze on the black circle in his palm again, he could no longer feel the trepidation originating from the depths of his soul.

"Meow—"

The little black cat raised its head and meowed softly.

Bai Yanliang looked at it, reached out his hand and said, "Come."

The little black cat seemed a bit hesitant but still couldn’t refuse the hands extended towards it.

It closed its eyes, jumped into Bai Yanliang’s embrace, and its small nose twitched, as if it smelled a familiar scent.

The little creature finally settled comfortably on Bai Yanliang’s lap and began to doze off again.

Every time he saw it, Bai Yanliang’s mood inexplicably improved, and this time was no different.

He put aside his exploration of the black circle in his palm, opened a medical book, and continued reading.

...

In the Fog Gathering, not everyone had Bai Yanliang’s endurance, nor was everyone like him, a solitary person.

Yu Sheng’s abnormality had already frightened Ren Wudao.

This young medical doctor had used all his skills yet still couldn’t suppress the pain of his own sister.

"Damn it, how can the painkiller not work! Sister, hold on, we’ll go to the hospital, we’ll go to the hospital for an anesthetic!"

Ren Wudao was pale from anxiety, all his calmness disappeared during Yu Sheng’s moments of suffering.

Yu Sheng’s condition was very strange, her pain was severe, she was sweating profusely. Normally, she should have fainted long ago.

But at this moment, she couldn’t even faint.

What illness... What the hell is this illness?

Ren Wudao wanted to slap himself.

Almost no one knew that Ren Wudao’s dream was not actually to be a doctor, but... a police officer.

The reason he studied medicine was that he wanted to personally find a way, find the way... that could heal Yu Sheng’s legs.

But now, he not only couldn’t heal Yu Sheng’s legs, he couldn’t even suppress her pain in the slightest.

Even if he was a medical doctor, his family couldn’t always have anesthetics on hand, these things were strictly controlled, he could only apply at a hospital.

However, just as he was about to take Yu Sheng to the hospital, Yu Sheng suddenly calmed down.

"Brother... brother... I’m okay..." Yu Sheng’s voice was weak, but she knew, she should be fine now.

What happened to her just now was simply an enhanced version of the Fog Gathering’s summoning, Yu Sheng knew, it wasn’t an illness at all, she couldn’t even find any abnormality in her body.

"No... no! We must get you checked, do you know how scary you looked just now? I absolutely won’t allow this situation to happen a second time!" Ren Wudao’s sweat was no less than Yu Sheng’s.

"Brother... listen to me this time, okay..." Yu Sheng looked at him quietly and said.

Ren Wudao’s anxiety was frozen on his face, these words seemed to make him think of something, Ren Wudao slumped down, lowered his head, clawed at his hair tightly, and his voice was a bit hoarse: "I’m sorry..."

Yu Sheng shook her head, then she extended her left hand and opened her palm.

There, a black circle appeared.

However, a strange smile appeared on Yu Sheng’s face.

"Both of us from eighteen days ago, Bai Yanliang..."

Yu Sheng’s voice was very small, but Ren Wudao’s sharpness could completely capture it.

He suddenly raised his head and looked at Yu Sheng: "No, absolutely not!"

Yu Sheng put down her left hand and looked at him: "What’s wrong?"

Faced with Yu Sheng’s questioning gaze, Ren Wudao found it hard to speak.

After a long time, he finally said:

"Sister... you... really can’t see it?"

"Bai Yanliang is no fool. On the contrary, he is one of the smartest people I have ever met. Your feelings... can he not understand them?"

Yu Sheng turned her head to look outside the window: "I know..."

"No, you don’t know!"

Ren Wudao suddenly stood up and said loudly:

"You’ve already fallen into it! I don’t know how you met him, nor do I know what he did to you! But he has absolutely no feelings for you at all!"

"I won’t mistake someone like Bai Yanliang, he’s basically a cold-blooded and unfeeling person! I can’t see any emotion in his eyes, if I hadn’t been in close contact with him, I’d even think he’s nothing more than a lifelike puppet!"

"Sister... don’t expect anything anymore, he won’t respond!"

Ren Wudao eventually yelled out this sentence.

"I know..."

Yu Sheng withdrew her gaze from the window and looked at her brother.

She suddenly smiled.

Even though her hair was completely wet and her face was pale, her smile was still very charming.

"Brother, do you know... love is inherently a one-person matter. One person is moved, one remains calm. One person gives, one receives. One is in pain, one feels pained. I don’t ask for anything else, I just want... to stay by his side a bit longer, even longer. Long enough... to see him smile, to see him leave..."

Yu Sheng’s voice grew smaller and smaller until Ren Wudao couldn’t hear it anymore.

When he lifted his head, he found that Yu Sheng had already fainted.

Her health was deteriorating, not to mention what she just experienced was such bizarre intense pain, she... couldn’t bear more.

"Bai Yanliang..."

Ren Wudao muttered softly, noticing Yu Sheng’s recent unusual emotions, he could see that she used to be pretending to be strong, but now, that façade had quietly disappeared, she seemed to have a bit of anticipation for life, but in her eyes, there was hidden, unwavering despair.

Ren Wudao didn’t know what was wrong with her, the only thing he knew was the sudden appearance of Bai Yanliang.

Ren Wudao silently tucked Yu Sheng’s hand under the quilt, yet inadvertently, found the black hollow circle in her palm.

What is this...?

...

Everyone in Fog Gathering experienced a peculiar pain, then, a circle appeared in everyone’s palms, a black circle.

The chat room was dead silent, at this moment, no one wanted to speak.

Does this mean... the abnormality’s tendrils have already extended from Wuji World into reality?

Then... would the fierce ghost be the same as in the Wuji task.

At this moment, hiding under the bed, standing outside the window.

Or in some corner, watching you weirdly...
