Frightening Joke: Above the Mist
Chapter 158 Ghost Shadow

Chapter 158: Chapter 158 Ghost Shadow

Listening to the increasingly close sounds from the staircase, and surveying the surroundings with no place to hide, Bai Yanliang seemed to have... plunged into a desperate situation.

But Bai Yanliang made an extremely bold move, relying on the loophole he just glimpsed in that fierce ghost.

If his guess was correct, facing this fierce ghost, as long as he stayed in that place, he would be invincible.

Bai Yanliang was a quick actor; after making up his mind, he immediately acted on it.

And at this time, the fierce ghost crawling upside down finally revealed its eerie form from the staircase...

...

Dangerous sparks flickered in Feng Xiuxue’s eyes.

She kept Bai Yanliang’s phone call in her mind, not touched, but resentful.

She knew very well that whether the caller was Bai Yanliang or not, they had bad intentions.

Luckily, she reacted swiftly, hanging up the call in less than half a second, and quickly turned off the sound; otherwise, who knew what the sound might attract.

It was impossible for Bai Yanliang not to know that making a phone call in such a place was both dangerous and unnecessary. Neither party could trust each other because no one could guarantee whether the person speaking with them was the ghost.

But Bai Yanliang did it anyway.

Feng Xiuxue never thought he was a fool, otherwise, she wouldn’t have sought to collaborate with Bai Yanliang.

Of course, at first, her plan was deception, if she could use his brother’s information to get the key, all the better; but since it couldn’t be cheated, collaboration wasn’t something she couldn’t consider.

At least today, she didn’t tell too many lies, but Bai Yanliang obviously detected her past deceptions and was taking revenge!

He was trying to force her to use her last resort!

A bizarre smile appeared on Feng Xiuxue’s face. Although she harbored resentment due to Bai Yanliang’s revengeful actions, strangely, she admired Bai Yanliang even more.

As expected of a winner from the last game, such a person is qualified to cooperate with me...

Feng Xiuxue thought of Bai Yanliang’s always calm face; she was a celebrity, an actress, and she knew well how important proper expressions were in an act.

But so far, she could confirm that all the expressions she saw on Bai Yanliang’s face were fake.

Although he also had a talent for acting, it couldn’t fool her, a master of performance.

That man never had any emotions.

Although the conclusion was unbelievable, it was unquestionable.

Thus, Feng Xiuxue was very curious about him. How could a person, a living person, have no emotions?

Putting away the phone and ceasing to think about Bai Yanliang, Feng Xiuxue began to carefully search for a way out.

This place, at first glance, was a replica of the Wuji World.

She knew this kind of technique well, because she could do it too, but... unless absolutely necessary, she would never use it, because using the key to open the "world" came at an unbearably heavy price...

Actually, when she was in the café, she already felt that someone holding a key was approaching rapidly, so she had always seemed rather impatient.

Looking back now, sure enough, she was at a disadvantage from the start, Bai Yanliang never once showed a hurried attitude.

What Feng Xiuxue didn’t know was that Bai Yanliang simply couldn’t sense that person, so how could he be anxious?

She desperately sought to ally with Bai Yanliang, yet, just as she finally got him to agree to cooperate, another mysterious stranger with a key arrived.

Moreover, much to Feng Xiuxue’s dismay, the newcomer used the key immediately, trapping her and Bai Yanliang in this place.

This was definitely not a friendly, negotiable person.

The attitude of using the key to initiate an attack was clear: either you die, or I die!

Therefore, although Feng Xiuxue appeared relatively calm, her heart was full of vigilance and hidden concerns.

The mysterious person with the key acted way too much like a desperado. Feng Xiuxue always disdained dealing with such people because like mad dogs, they didn’t care about their lives.

But... things had come to this.

Feng Xiuxue turned her head to look around.

The door behind her was already closed; dim light shone in from the windows on both sides, which were filled with rebar. Feng Xiuxue tried, but the door behind her wouldn’t open either.

If the windows on the second floor were also sealed, this house... would become a closed room.

Its internal space was empty and monotonous, currently, on the first floor besides a decrepit wardrobe, there was nothing.

The floor, stairs, wardrobe... all covered in dust.

On the walls within the room, there were also some strange, seemingly ancient scratches.

Ancient because the scratches appeared visibly old, and strange because the scratches on the wall... looked like someone, in despair, clawed them out with their fingernails.

Feng Xiuxue gradually approached the wall, staring intently at the scratches.

The scratches were quite high, she stood on tiptoe to barely reach them.

But she didn’t touch the scratches, although they appeared old and normal, they always gave Feng Xiuxue an uncomfortable feeling.

However... what Feng Xiuxue didn’t notice was, at this moment, her shadow behind her suddenly extended its hand in a bizarre manner.

It was her own shadow!

"Boom——"

Suddenly, a thunderclap exploded outside, and the dark room was instantly illuminated by stark white lightning.

Feng Xiuxue was so startled her heart skipped a beat.

She sharply turned her head to look outside the window, but her shadow had returned to normal...

"Crash——"

Heavy rain poured down.

Raindrops as large as soybeans fell madly, the rain became heavier, the cascading raindrops smashed onto the roof, the ground.

The splashing water mirrored the sky, low dark clouds, blurred distant mountains, and the world outside the window gradually turned into a white blur.

The lightning faded, plunging the interior back into darkness.

Feng Xiuxue felt an inexplicable chill run down her spine; she tried to find where this strange feeling originated, but couldn’t find it.

Up until now, she hadn’t seen any signs of the ghost, as if there was no ghost in this house at all.

But Feng Xiuxue knew that was absolutely impossible.

Outside, lightning flashed and thunder roared, occasionally a white light sliced through.

As it cast on Feng Xiuxue, her shadow was projected onto the wall full of scratches.

Watching outside, she couldn’t see; at this moment, the shadow on the wall cracked a terrifying mouth, grinning at her...

...

"Sizzle——Sizzle——"

With hands on the ground, feet in the air, the ghost walking upside down left terrible blood trails on the floor.

It had already crawled up to the second floor where Bai Yanliang was, looking around.

Logically, the empty second floor should have nowhere to hide, Bai Yanliang should have long been discovered by the ghost, fallen victim to it.

However, the current situation was, Bai Yanliang was gone.
