Frightening Joke: Above the Mist
Chapter 296: Accident

Chapter 296: Chapter 296: Accident

After leaving Fog Gathering and returning to reality, everyone got busy.

They agreed on a time and place to go together.

During this preparation period, Bai Yanliang and Xu Zhifei looked up information about Sanbai Town.

"An ancient town to the north of the city, no mysterious rumors, no paranormal events, quite normal."

Xu Zhifei commented.

Bai Yanliang browsed the recent news about Sanbai Town, and indeed, as Xu Zhifei said, there had been no strange events, nor any rumors of paranormal activities in Sanbai Town.

However, another piece of news caught Bai Yanliang’s attention.

"The horror film ’Ghost to Hell’ will be shot on location in Sanbai Town. It is reported that the script is based on true events and will be directed by a top domestic director, aiming to provide viewers with a thrilling and terrifying visual feast..."

"Look at this." Bai Yanliang handed the phone to Xu Zhifei.

"Ghost to Hell?" Xu Zhifei glanced at the phone after taking it.

"Hmm, this should be the movie that Fog Gathering referenced. For now, it looks like a horror film, and perhaps some frightening things will happen during the entire shooting process. However, there’s something even stranger right now."

Bai Yanliang took back the phone and mused, "Currently, it hasn’t disclosed any information about the cast. I wonder... Is this something Fog Gathering orchestrated?"

"To get us involved in the shooting?"

"Hmm."

"Let’s not think about that now." Xu Zhifei interrupted him, "Think about yourself first."

"Me?" Bai Yanliang looked at her, surprised, "What’s wrong with me?"

"You could turn into a five-year-old child at any moment. Do you think the five-year-old you could survive this level of a mission?" Xu Zhifei’s words seemed to increase, but her tone remained as cold as ever.

But Bai Yanliang could tell she was concerned for him.

Regarding what she said, Bai Yanliang wasn’t particularly worried. That five-year-old... seemed more like a second personality within him. Moreover, as the primary personality, he understood everything about the second personality, so Bai Yanliang didn’t have the slightest worry. He told Xu Zhifei, "Don’t worry about it, he’s much more capable than you think."

Since Bai Yanliang himself said so, Xu Zhifei didn’t say anything further.

The two took a taxi to meet up with Qi Nian and the others.

Before leaving, Bai Yanliang glanced at the human skin on the ground, then closed the door.

He didn’t deliberately clean up the traces; he meant to let He Yige know that he had visited.

At three in the afternoon, the four successfully met up.

Only Du Shangjing set off from Ping City and was on the way.

Feng Xiuxue, Yu Wenxuan, Gu Pingsheng, and Yu Sheng didn’t plan to observe Sanbai Town for now. Compared to Song Que’s group, they were evidently luckier, having at least a week’s time to prepare.

They planned to thoroughly explore Qingyi Street during this week and even intended to install surveillance cameras in private to prepare for the task a week later.

Song Que drove their car, with the two girls sitting in the back and Bai Yanliang in the front passenger seat, and they set off without any delay.

The atmosphere on the way was somewhat tense, perhaps due to the gloomy weather. As soon as the car left the city, a sudden gale blew.

"Whoosh..."

"Whoosh..."

Bai Yanliang glanced out the car window, "There will be a heavy rain shortly."

Qi Nian murmured in confusion while holding their phone, "But... the weather forecast said that Ye City would be sunny to partly cloudy today..."

Xu Zhifei was silent, her eyelid twitching continuously. Even when she first entered Fog Gathering, her eyelid hadn’t twitched so intensely before.

This made the usually calm her feel some unease.

"Miss Xu, it’s okay..."

Qi Nian sensitively sensed Xu Zhifei’s anxiety and stammered to comfort her.

She originally wanted to say more to Xu Zhifei, like thanking her for saving her at the department store, for instance.

But whenever she mustered the courage to look at Xu Zhifei, images of Xu Zhifei’s beautiful face rapidly aging would unconsciously pop up in her mind, making Qi Nian feel very conflicted.

"Thank you."

Xu Zhifei said lightly.

Qi Nian’s eyes lit up. Thank you? She thanked me?

Miss Xu isn’t as unapproachable as everyone says...

Her mood suddenly improved a lot, but this emotion didn’t affect the others.

Bai Yanliang and Song Que were both on edge.

Something’s not right... Why isn’t there a single car along the way?

"Did we take the wrong road?"

Song Que opened the navigation system on their phone, muttering.

Bai Yanliang stared at the pitch-black clouds outside the car window, along with the street trees swaying wildly in the gale, looking like overlapping ghostly shadows, and shook his head, "No, I’ve been keeping an eye on the road signs, this is indeed the road to Sanbai Town."

Song Que pursed their lips, silent.

Suddenly, there was a loud noise!

"Bang!"

The car, traveling at high speed, suddenly spun out of control, skidding out!

"Ah!"

Qi Nian screamed in fright. All four of them were strapped in with seatbelts, gripping the handles tightly, the car cabin shaking violently until with another "bang," they crashed into a roadside tree and finally stopped.

The airbags deployed, and Song Que struggled to open the car door and crawled out.

"Hey, you guys okay?"

The front of the car was severely deformed, with smoke billowing out.

He quickly opened the rear door, and the still-shaken Qi Nian and Xu Zhifei also got out of the car.

Luckily, although the front was seriously damaged, everyone was unharmed.

Just as everyone thought so, Bai Yanliang suddenly fell out of the front passenger seat, his upper body covered in blood scratches...

Not only that, but his arm was also filled with shards of glass, bleeding continuously.

Their pupils quivered, and they immediately went forward to help him up.

"Let’s get away from here first. I’m worried the car might explode!" Without waiting for a reply, Song Que swiftly lifted Bai Yanliang by the waist and hurried over to the other side of the road, setting him down leaning against a tree.

"Are you alright?"

Song Que looked at him nervously.

Bai Yanliang shook his head, "Help me take out these glass pieces."

Such emergency treatment, all three of them could perform.

Song Que daringly returned to the damaged car, found the first-aid kit, and with tools at hand, it was much easier to handle the situation.

"You... hang in there." Qi Nian said.

Soon, she realized she was stating the obvious; because no matter how they fetched out the glass, Bai Yanliang had no reaction, as if he felt no pain. He didn’t even furrow his brow, but kept thoughtfully staring at the already scrapped vehicle.

The gale continued to howl, with occasional dull thunder resounding.

Song Que glanced at the sky worriedly, "It’s really going to rain."

At this time, Xu Zhifei, who had been silent since earlier, suddenly spoke up:

"Don’t you think our current situation is just like the beginning of a horror movie?"
