Frightening Joke: Above the Mist
Chapter 195 The Bathroom

Chapter 195: Chapter 195 The Bathroom

It was as if... all the plastic mannequins were staring at him.

An eerie atmosphere crawled in from all around.

Song Que shivered, slowly retreating.

Although nothing abnormal had occurred yet, he sensed that the atmosphere around him was becoming unsettling...

But then, a snapping sound rang out!

Pain shot through Song Que’s calf.

Looking down, he realized he had stepped on and crushed the plastic mannequin that had fallen on him earlier?

His leg was trapped within the mannequin’s body, plastic shards piercing his skin and drawing lines of blood.

It looked... just like claw marks.

Song Que pulled his foot out, and suddenly... he felt a wave of dread!

It was back... that intense malice watching him was back!

Where exactly is it?

Where are those horrifying eyes that have been watching him!

Song Que’s mind was in turmoil, immediately looking around in anxiety.

The most obvious gaze at the moment came from in front, from the dense gathering of plastic mannequins!

Could it be... the ghost was one of them?

Wait!

Song Que looked down at the plastic mannequin at his feet.

Just now... I was backing up, so how could I have stepped on it?

When did it... get behind me?

Staring at it, Song Que grew more convinced that it was eerily looking back at him.

That fake, terrifying plastic face...

Song Que wanted to turn his head away, but this terrifying gaze seemed to bind his body, suddenly leaving him unable to move!

This is bad...

The ghost’s power had grown stronger!

Song Que clearly felt the ghost’s change.

From initially watching from a distance, to now seemingly being close by.

From initially causing fear, to now briefly rendering him immobile!

Song Que’s face turned pale, sweat began to roll down his forehead; if he didn’t quickly find it, would it evolve into something that could kill him with just a look?

He thought it quite possible.

Song Que forcibly calmed his mind, knowing that the ghost was testing and getting ready to make a move on him.

Right now, he was racing against time.

It was a question of whether he’d find the ghost’s hiding place first, or the ghost would remove its restrains and kill him.

...

"...Listen up you guys!"

Yang Mowan bit her lips hard, almost to the point of drawing blood.

"Ding-ling——"

A bell sound; it came up from downstairs.

In fact, Bai Yanliang and Qi Nian had already heard it before Yang Mowan spoke.

"Split up."

This time, Bai Yanliang didn’t give them a chance to respond, and as he said this, he gave Qi Nian a look and immediately moved towards the entrance to the projection room.

Qi Nian knew Bai Yanliang intended to do something.

So, she immediately pulled Yang Mowan, quietly slipping away through the exit.

The bell sound was coming from the left escalator, so Qi Nian and Yang Mowan moved towards the right.

Qi Nian didn’t know what Bai Yanliang was going to do, although she was worried about him, more than that, she trusted him.

She believed Bai Yanliang wouldn’t do anything he wasn’t confident about, and she believed Bai Yanliang certainly had a way to get out.

The two women returned nervously to the fourth floor, and upon Yang Mowan’s request, headed towards the bathroom to hide.

That place... actually, Qi Nian didn’t really want to go there.

She was very familiar with the bathroom on the fourth floor because... she and Bai Yanliang experienced a thrilling escape there.

And afterward, the two had hidden back there, Bai Yanliang even helped her fix her dislocated right arm in the bathroom.

But that was in the previous round.

Qi Nian felt uneasy inside; she considered... the bathroom to be extremely dangerous!

She didn’t forget the differences between the first and the second round of the game. In the first round, the entrance was very safe, but at the start of the second round, it was searched by "Yuan Jie," and then... Zhou Li was discovered.

So her heart was actually quite resistant to going to that bathroom again.

"Wait..."

Finally, Qi Nian halted, looking seriously at Yang Mowan.

"I think it’s very dangerous there, it’s best not to go."

Yang Mowan’s reaction was somewhat strange; she hesitated and said, "But... I... really need to go."

Yang Mowan could see Qi Nian’s firm stance, as if she was very unwilling to go to the bathroom.

But... if not the bathroom, should she relieve herself outside?

Thinking of something so embarrassing, Yang Mowan’s face flushed to the roots of her neck.

Qi Nian didn’t catch on, instead, hearing Yang Mowan’s reason, she sighed in relief, "In that case, just pick any corner, there’s no one else in this building now..."

Qi Nian hadn’t finished, but seeing Yang Mowan keeping her head down, she knew Yang Mowan wouldn’t agree.

Indeed, Yang Mowan wouldn’t agree.

The education she’d received since childhood was the most typical of a lady’s upbringing, that of a refined woman.

If she were to relieve herself casually in a corner, it would be better for her to simply die instead.

"If you really have to go... I can accompany you, but I won’t go inside; I’ll be in the toy store next door."

After pausing, Qi Nian added, "We can keep our phones connected and turn off the screens. If you’re scared, you can talk to me the whole time, but you must speak very, very quietly, okay?"

"Thank... thank you... Qi Nian." Yang Mowan gratefully looked at Qi Nian, following her suggestion, first dialing the call and then turning off the screen.

She was already very anxious, and in truth, speaking of danger, danger could be anywhere; it was just a matter of degree.

Now that Qi Nian was just outside, she would notify me if anything happened...

Yang Mowan thought this.

Unless... there was always a ghost in the bathroom.

But how was that possible?

"Creak——"

Yang Mowan turned the handle and opened the door to the women’s restroom.

She was startled as soon as she entered because directly across from her was a mirror, and she saw herself.

Fortunately, everything seemed normal, nothing strange.

Yang Mowan quickly unfastened her pants and sat down on the toilet.

The feeling of finally being able to relieve herself improved her mood considerably.

But then!

Yang Mowan suddenly felt the air around her turn cold.

It was not an illusion born of fear, but actual, bone-chilling cold!

Yang Mowan sensed her hands and feet becoming icy; why had it suddenly gotten so cold?

She didn’t want to think too much, nor dare to, hurriedly finishing and getting up.

She didn’t even dare to flush, immediately leaving the stall.

After leaving the stall, Yang Mowan let out a long breath...

However, the coldness in the air did not dissipate but grew even stronger...

What in the world is going on...

Yang Mowan abruptly turned, just about to leave the restroom.

It was then... her pupils trembled, and her mouth opened with no words coming out.

Because... she saw in the mirror a familiar face, deathly pale.

The man she’d silently adored all along, but had just heard had died an unfortunate death.

Zhou Li!

Qi Nian had been waiting outside, but for a long time, Yang Mowan did not come out.

Just as Qi Nian sensed something was amiss and was about to do something, Yang Mowan’s voice suddenly came through the phone:

"Hello."
