Frightening Joke: Above the Mist
Chapter 119: Brain Transplant

Chapter 119: Chapter 119: Brain Transplant

Bai Yanliang was angry.

That’s right, he rarely felt such rage.

Su Jieyi was a fool; she had no idea she almost killed two people, herself and Bai Yanliang.

Although there was no evidence to prove it yet, Bai Yanliang was almost certain the key to this mission had something to do with names.

He couldn’t imagine what terrifying thing would happen if Su Jieyi had continued calling his name.

He also never expected that in Su Jieyi’s eyes, he appeared as he originally was, not as the plain-looking Hu Chen.

"Are you... are you real?" Su Jieyi heard Bai Yanliang’s question and even tried to pinch his face.

Bai Yanliang frowned and stopped her.

"Didn’t you tell us from the window that you were trapped on the third floor and we should come save you?" Su Jieyi retracted her hand awkwardly and asked in confusion.

"Earlier?" Bai Yanliang looked at Su Jieyi and shook his head: "I hadn’t seen you all before. You’re the first companion I’ve met."

Su Jieyi gaped in astonishment, so that means... what everyone saw at the third-floor window before... was a ghost?

"However..." Bai Yanliang suddenly said, "I did think of calling for help from the window, and stood there for a while, but I didn’t see you all, so I gave up."

This matter was strange, Bai Yanliang felt that the "Bai Yanliang" who appeared at the third-floor window might not simply be a ghost...

But it was just a feeling for him.

"Then why did you scare me just now!" Su Jieyi glared angrily at Bai Yanliang, "When I looked at you, you had a sinister and terrifying expression, do you even know I almost got scared to death by you!"

Bai Yanliang glanced at her and calmly said, "If I didn’t do that, you would continue calling my name, and then we’d both die."

"A name?" Su Jieyi looked up at Bai Yanliang: "Could it be... that this is related to names?"

"Just a guess." Bai Yanliang didn’t say more and instead looked around the room, asking: "Tell me your situation, why are you the only one who came to the second floor?"

Hearing Bai Yanliang ask about this, Su Jieyi’s face darkened, her emotional state visibly declining.

"My sister, and Zhong Yi, are both dead... Qin Chuan is missing, Du Shangjing is missing, Xu Zhifei left on his own..."

Under Su Jieyi’s recounting, Bai Yanliang finally understood everything they had encountered.

By comparison, except for being trapped on the third floor, he hadn’t encountered any attacks from fierce ghosts.

"Did you all answer with your true names?" Bai Yanliang asked.

Su Jieyi was silent for a moment, then shook her head: "Actually... I didn’t. When I woke up, I was so scared by that nurse with only a mouth on her face that I couldn’t even speak. She... asked me several times, and my mind went blank, so I didn’t respond to her..."

"What about the others?"

"Jie Xian, Zhong Yi, Du Shangjing, Qin Chuan... they all seemed to have given their true names, Xu Zhifei didn’t tell us her answer."

Bai Yanliang was silent for a moment. From the current results, it seemed... everyone killed by the ghost had answered with their real name.

Bai Yanliang thought of the single-word decryption.

Who.

Is there a possibility that this fierce ghost couldn’t tell who from who, and could only kill based on names, unable to match true names to people correctly, leaving it unable to make a move?

Thinking back, Bai Yanliang had answered with the name Hu Chen, and then his appearance... turned into Hu Chen.

But the strange thing was, the reason Bai Yanliang answered with that name was because he noticed the name "Hu Chen" written clearly at the bedside, even though it could have easily been overlooked.

This indicated... he had entered this world as "Hu Chen" from the beginning.

Then... what about the others?

Do they have a new identity and name, just like him, or... is he the only one unique?

Bai Yanliang temporarily couldn’t find an answer.

"Su Jieyi, from now on, you have to call me Hu Chen, and I won’t call your name either. You must remember this well." Bai Yanliang said seriously.

Su Jieyi nodded, she sneaked a glance at Bai Yanliang, finally understanding how dangerous and frightening her actions just now were.

From another perspective, if it were her, she might not simply be just angry.

He really is such a nice person...

Su Jieyi couldn’t help but think.

She didn’t notice that Bai Yanliang was already rummaging through the room.

That mad Doctor Zhao pointed here twice.

Bai Yanliang entered with a gambler’s spirit, figuring that since he hadn’t encountered a ghost, it must be the second possibility.

Something was hidden here.

Soon, Bai Yanliang found it under the bed.

Bai Yanliang knelt down and pulled it out from under the bed.

This is... a surgery record.

This turns out to be... Hu Chen’s surgery record!

"What is this?" Su Jieyi came over, asking in confusion.

"See for yourself." Bai Yanliang handed the surgery record to her.

This page is no longer of use to him, as he had already committed it to memory.

Despite Bai Yanliang’s calm exterior, inside he was filled with flashing questions like lightning.

The information on this surgery record was simply too shocking.

At this Ink City Mental Hospital, they were actually conducting brain transplant surgeries!

Hu Chen’s pre-surgery diagnosis clearly stated brain death, which, as known to all, is a natural phenomenon where life is lost — the inevitable end for all living organisms.

With the advancement of modern medical technology, a patient’s heartbeat, breathing, blood pressure, and other life signs can be reversed or maintained long-term through a range of medications and advanced equipment.

Only brain death!

It refers to the irreversible termination of all brain functions, including brainstem functions.

The human respiratory center is located in the brainstem; structural damage to the brainstem results in respiratory failure, unable to be salvaged by any medical means.

Generally, modern medicine sees brain death as more scientific and reliable than cardiac death.

But this mental hospital, they were conducting brain transplants on Hu Chen, a person already brain dead?

No... Hu Chen’s brain transplant wasn’t successful.

The surgery record contained a total of seven pages, and only the first page had been found so far!
