Frightening Joke: Above the Mist
Chapter 186 Dangerous Situation

Chapter 186: Chapter 186 Dangerous Situation

This time, not only did Bai Yanliang see it, but Li Mu and the others across the street could see it clearly too.

The dark ghostly figure, rotting all over...

Even though they weren’t the ones carrying out the mission at the moment, nearly everyone felt a chill run down their spine.

Is this the fierce ghost for this event?

Why did it appear in this building?

Was it released by Fog Gathering, or was it here all along?

Can it leave the building?

Will it come to kill them?

One question after another surged out the moment they saw the fierce ghost.

"Bai Yanliang is in trouble this time."

Li Mu’s face was extremely grim. Despite racking his brains for a solution, there was nothing he could think of to save Bai Yanliang at this moment.

The only one who could save him was himself.

He needed to descend to the first floor immediately to get out of the ghost’s line of sight for a chance at survival!

But who could have thought that a raging wind would whip up past one o’clock in the morning?

The howling night wind made Bai Yanliang’s clothes flap wildly.

His slightly long hair danced chaotically in the breeze too.

At this moment, it took tremendous effort just to maintain balance in mid-air. It was utterly impossible for him to slide down to the first floor!

What should he do?

While keeping an eye on the fierce ghost’s movements, Bai Yanliang frantically pondered.

Before any action, Bai Yanliang always liked to prepare a contingency plan, and this time was no exception.

But the escape method he had prepared was utterly unfit for this location.

Because he had never thought he would encounter trouble halfway through his speed descent!

Bai Yanliang was still desperately thinking of a way.

Break the glass and jump in?

But... this is tempered glass. Even if he wanted to break it forcibly and swing into the floor, it was entirely impossible.

Especially considering that this tempered glass was used for external walls, the hardness was astonishing.

Wait... external wall?

Suddenly, Bai Yanliang’s eyes lit up!

Right! There might be a section of the glass on the external wall that isn’t tempered glass!

The bathroom!

The small window in the bathroom was made of the most ordinary glass, and it probably wasn’t even shut!

The direction of the bathroom is...

Bai Yanliang closed his eyes, carefully recalling the structure of the entire building.

He had excellent memory. Once he knew the mission would be executed in reality, he memorized the overall structure of this building by force.

This was also why he could accurately find the control room at the start of the game.

Information flashed quickly through Bai Yanliang’s mind, and the location of the bathroom was... at the end of the right-hand side staircase on each floor.

In other words...

Bai Yanliang suddenly opened his eyes and pushed forcefully with both feet against the glass wall!

His whole body leaped high, and the fierce nighttime wind blew him straight to the right.

But Bai Yanliang was entirely sure because... the bathroom was on the far right of each floor!

If he wanted to get closer, he just needed not to resist the wind and sway along with it!

Under the pale moonlight and strong wind, Bai Yanliang was like a kite let loose in the sky, uncontrollable and slender, pitiful.

But his reckless actions shocked everyone. Li Mu and the others instinctively clenched their fists and watched Bai Yanliang perform acrobatic movements high in the air with hearts in their mouths.

Did he think of a solution?

Yes, Bai Yanliang thought of a solution.

Moreover, he already saw it!

A small window appeared in his view, just a short distance to the right, and it was indeed not shut!

"Bang—"

Bai Yanliang crashed onto the glass again.

Only three meters away...

He pushed with his legs, leaping again.

Two meters!

"Bang—"

Another loud crash on the glass resounded.

The last meter!

Even Bai Yanliang felt a hint of nervousness rise within him.

Has the ghost not acted yet?

Thinking of this, he raised his head again for a glance.

Fortunately, he did!

Bai Yanliang pushed off vigorously, swung with all his might to the side, and gripped the window ledge with both arms!

And in that moment, the speed descent rope snapped abruptly above him!

What Bai Yanliang had seen when he looked up was precisely the ghost cutting the rappel rope!

Thankfully, he had already grabbed onto the window’s edge. Although he lost the support of the descent rope, his arm strength was enough to hold on.

At this moment, Bai Yanliang’s entire body hung outside the building, relying only on his hands to clutch the window edge, looking extremely dangerous!

"Be careful!"

Yu Sheng instinctively screamed, her fingertips going white, her whole body trembling.

Bai Yanliang was overly precarious now; a small mistake could see him plummet from the fourth floor. It should be known that the height of each floor in such a department store wasn’t three meters, but five or six meters!

If he fell from a height of over twenty meters, he would definitely be smashed to pieces...

Yet everyone overlooked one point.

Though the fierce ghost cut Bai Yanliang’s rappel rope, the danger didn’t end there!

The snapped rappel rope quickly plummeted to the ground.

At the moment it hit the ground, it unleashed a terrifying downward force!

Its other end was still tied around Bai Yanliang’s waist, so this downward force was immediately borne by him!

"Ugh..."

The terrifying downward force made Bai Yanliang let out a muffled groan.

He felt as if his waist might snap, and worse yet, his fingers holding the window ledge were frayed and bloody. He could no longer hold on!

The aura of death was already creeping over his body.

The innate instinct for survival unleashed more strength from Bai Yanliang than usual, but flesh was flesh; a limit was still a limit!

Although Bai Yanliang had a strong tolerance for pain, this wasn’t about enduring pain; he was just an ordinary human. His fingers clutching the window ledge were already torn by the rope, bleeding and mangled, almost at their breaking point!

"Bai Yanliang..."

Seeing Bai Yanliang in such a precarious situation and reaching a dead end, Yu Sheng’s expression was slightly dazed.

In her impression, Bai Yanliang was always calm, sharp, intelligent, with exceptional action capability.

Not just hers, everyone’s impression of Bai Yanliang was very similar.

"A bizarre person who knows no fear, has a great brain, excellent physical prowess, and is trustworthy."

Only now did they realize.

Bai Yanliang, like everyone else, when faced with a life-and-death crisis, could also make mistakes, be helpless, be injured, and... die.

"Please... help him..."

The blur in Yu Sheng’s eyes made it so she couldn’t see Bai Yanliang clearly anymore.

Her voice was soft, perhaps not aimed at anyone in particular.

The person she trusted the most had already gone missing, and she didn’t want another to meet the same fate here...

Is this the end?

Feeling his fingers lose strength for a moment, Bai Yanliang knew that falling from this height, he was most likely to die.

A desire to survive made him want to reach out and grab onto something, but... he failed.

His body, dangling on the window ledge, suddenly slipped!

At this moment, Bai Yanliang’s heart wasn’t filled with despair but a trace of regret.

However, just then!

Though he hadn’t managed to grab something, a pair of hands seized him tightly!

Bai Yanliang looked up, and the person stretched halfway out of the window, gripping him tightly was... Qi Nian!
