Frightening Joke: Above the Mist
Chapter 198: Seeking Ghost

Chapter 198: Chapter 198: Seeking Ghost

Bai Yanliang looked at his phone with some doubt. Why wasn’t Song Que replying?

However, he didn’t care too much. Holding Qi Nian’s phone, he looked at her and said in a low voice, "Hide well. If everything goes smoothly, this game will soon end."

"Okay."

Qi Nian nodded. Although she wanted to help, since she didn’t know Bai Yanliang’s plan, following along would only add to the chaos and serve no other purpose.

"You... be careful."

Seeing Bai Yanliang about to leave, Qi Nian hesitated and said.

Bai Yanliang waved without turning back, disappearing quickly.

At this moment, Bai Yanliang’s attention was highly focused because this building could be said to be full of crises!

Apart from the whole-body rotting fierce ghost, there were at least two other ghosts.

One was "Yuan Jie," and the other was "Zhou Li."

What he needed to do now was to make that rotting fierce ghost stay in one place for a while, buying enough time for Song Que in another space to capture it.

Besides, he had a better plan, but that plan required determining the positions of "Yuan Jie" and "Zhou Li."

Bai Yanliang thought about it and quietly moved down to the first floor.

...

Not long after Bai Yanliang left, Qi Nian felt something strange around her.

Maybe it was a psychological effect, or maybe something was indeed approaching.

In any case, a strong sense of unease surged in her heart.

This unease drove her to stand up, wanting to hide in another place.

She felt her heart beating quickly... some very bad thoughts occurred in her mind.

If... if she didn’t leave here soon, she would definitely be found by a ghost!

The emergence of this premonition finally made Qi Nian stop hesitating.

She was also ready to leave the third floor, but just when she reached the escalator and was about to step onto the fourth floor... Qi Nian’s steps suddenly stopped.

Who is that...

Qi Nian’s eyes widened.

Because of the lighting, she couldn’t see clearly, but she could discern a vague figure in the direction of the fourth-floor restroom.

Is it... a ghost?

Qi Nian shivered.

No... can’t go to the fourth floor; the ghost on the fourth floor hasn’t left yet...

However, the eerie atmosphere of the third floor made Qi Nian’s heart extremely uneasy. Now she stood on the escalator, unable to go up or down, trapped.

Just then, suddenly, a cold hand grabbed her from behind!

Qi Nian’s heart thumped, and cold sweat broke out all over her body, fear surging up.

There were still people alive... only her, Bai Yanliang, and Song Que.

The hand that grabbed her was frighteningly cold!

Which ghost was it...

Qi Nian’s mind went blank, and she looked back hopelessly.

Only to see that it was... Xu Zhifei holding her hand on the escalator!

Qi Nian’s eyes widened suddenly, but before she could say anything, Xu Zhifei pulled her and quickly started running away!

Wait!

What on earth is going on?

Xu Zhifei wasn’t related to this mission; why was she here?

No... Fog Gathering didn’t say others couldn’t come in. Still, normally, people wouldn’t come in, right?

After all, there were clearly terrifying, life-threatening fierce ghosts here!

While Xu Zhifei was pulling Qi Nian to run, Qi Nian subconsciously turned her head to take a look...

She was terrified to discover a pale hand gripping the escalator’s handrail, running rapidly downwards!

It found them!

"Xu Zhifei... why are you here? You should leave; you’re not an executor of this mission, so you can leave this building anytime!"

Qi Nian, scared out of her wits by the thing chasing them, still urged Xu Zhifei to leave quickly.

"It’s okay."

Xu Zhifei’s cold voice sounded.

"But..."

"Don’t talk." Xu Zhifei held Qi Nian’s hand tightly. "Hide."

Maybe influenced by Xu Zhifei’s extremely cold tone, Qi Nian’s fear decreased somewhat, but she could hear footsteps behind them!

If it wasn’t for the ringing, then it proved it wasn’t the rotting fierce ghost.

It was either "Zhou Li" or "Yuan Jie" chasing them!

Chasing all the way down from the fourth floor, although Xu Zhifei and Qi Nian hadn’t been caught yet, it was only a matter of time!

The situation was extremely dangerous!

Qi Nian gritted her teeth, "Let me go, we’ll go separately!"

Unfortunately, she couldn’t break free of Xu Zhifei’s icy hand.

Though being chased and the environment dark, Xu Zhifei seemed to know the layout here like the back of her hand. She pulled Qi Nian, taking several twists and turns, then ducked into a room on the second floor.

Once inside, Xu Zhifei immediately closed the door.

Then, both Qi Nian and Xu Zhifei held their breath.

Now... it was crucial not to be discovered...

This room seemed to be the office of the management of this building, with snow-white walls and spotless cleanliness.

Then...

Footsteps were vaguely heard outside the door...

"Thud—thud—"

Is it an illusion?

Qi Nian’s heart was in her throat, but the footsteps grew clearer and clearer.

Qi Nian instinctively leaned against Xu Zhifei, her body starting to shiver involuntarily.

Once pressed against Xu Zhifei, she recoiled as if burned.

So cold...

Why was Xu Zhifei’s body temperature so low?

Wait, was she really Xu Zhifei?

Qi Nian suddenly realized she had overlooked something very important.

She slightly turned her head, secretly observing Xu Zhifei.

How could Xu Zhifei appear here out of nowhere? She wasn’t involved in this mission; could she also be a ghost?

Qi Nian’s fear intensified.

Her mind was filled with wild thoughts—sometimes the ghost outside breaks in and tears her to pieces.

Sometimes Xu Zhifei beside her suddenly turns, revealing a completely unfamiliar face.

Her body couldn’t stop trembling, and although she dared not think wildly, she could not control it. The more she tried not to think, the more her brain conjured terrifying and horrifying images.

Just then, the footsteps outside the door gradually faded away!

Qi Nian heard it clearly.

The footsteps left!

Thank God...

But just then, Xu Zhifei suddenly turned to look at her.

Xu Zhifei’s face was exquisite yet pale, more like a lifelike puppet than a living person...

She looked at Qi Nian eerily.

Qi Nian was so scared she slowly retreated, then... backed up against the wall.

"Give it to me."

"You... what are you going to do?" Qi Nian was chilled by her icy gaze.

"Give it to me." Xu Zhifei moved closer to Qi Nian.

Qi Nian was so scared she was about to cry, shivering as she said, "What do you actually want..."

Suddenly, Xu Zhifei’s complexion changed, a trace of redness emerged on her pale face, and then, to Qi Nian’s horror, fine wrinkles appeared on Xu Zhifei’s face!

It was like... she suddenly aged ten years.

"I’m running out of time." Xu Zhifei gazed at Qi Nian, "Give your ghost to me."
