Frightening Joke: Above the Mist
Chapter 302 Dungeon

Chapter 302: Chapter 302 Dungeon

Beyond that... Bai Yanliang was also pondering another matter.

The movie titled "Ghost to Hell."

Is that a clue?

Perhaps that is the real decryption.

Thinking of this, Bai Yanliang took out his phone and opened a search engine, looking for all the information about this movie.

Since Xu Zhifei’s phone could connect, he realized that the task allowed them to communicate remotely, and the unblocked signal also hinted that he could obtain some information via the internet.

In other words, this is not an abnormal time-space, this is the real world.

However... when he typed "Ghost to Hell," apart from a foreign movie of the same name, he couldn’t find any other information.

After thinking it over, Bai Yanliang entered Sanbai Town into his phone.

This time, he discovered some information about "Ghost to Hell" in the introduction of Sanbai Town: the horror movie "Ghost to Hell" will be shot on location in Sanbai Town. It is reported that the script of the film is adapted from real events and invites a top domestic director to shoot, striving to bring the audience a thrilling and terrifying visual feast.

It was exactly the same as what he saw before, without any change.

This movie "Ghost to Hell," where on earth is the ghost...

Even though he couldn’t get more information, just this one name made Bai Yanliang very concerned.

Ghost to Hell...

...

Qi Nian rubbed her backside and got up from the ground.

Just now, she had been venting emotion, smashing things around, and unexpectedly triggered a mechanism, falling underground!

She wondered how they were doing...

Although slightly worried, Qi Nian was not very anxious.

She trusted those three people’s minds very much. Although everyone seemed at a loss just now, after she triggered the mechanism, Bai Yanliang and the others would surely discover something.

Qi Nian firmly believed in this.

So, what she needed to face now was actually her own predicament.

This was clearly an underground space, and the surrounding walls were cold metal, seemingly indestructible. Compared to a storage basement... it looked more like a dungeon.

Qi Nian searched for an exit, but actually, this place only had one passage going in the direction at her diagonal.

But... right in front of Qi Nian was a large metal door.

The door was not only intricately crafted but also locked, and the level of protection made it clear at a glance that it was not a door that could be forcibly breached.

Qi Nian thought for a moment and cautiously approached, curious about what could be so securely locked behind such a sturdy door and lock.

The abilities of ghosts were varied, and could it be that behind the door... was a ghost that could be physically confined?

Fearful as she was, Qi Nian still made up her mind.

She believed that Fog Gathering was neither absolutely safe nor unsolvable in terms of danger.

Although the metal door was closed, there was still a slight gap in the middle.

Qi Nian carefully put her eye to the gap and looked through... to the other side.

Gleaming white lights, metal-hued walls and floors, an unobstructed corridor...

The other side of the metal door looked exactly like her side?

A trace of doubt flashed in Qi Nian’s mind, yet, just as she was about to withdraw her gaze, suddenly!

A pair of pupils abruptly appeared on the opposite side of the door gap!

"Ah!"

Qi Nian shivered with fright, immediately pulling away from the gap, already covered in goosebumps.

Who was it?

Whose eyes were those?

Why... did they look familiar?

After the initial fear, Qi Nian suddenly sensed familiarity.

Moments later, she cautiously asked, "Are you... Bai Yanliang?"

On the other side of the metal door, a familiar voice sounded.

"Qi Nian! Is that you?"

"Bai Yanliang! It’s really you!" Qi Nian felt a surge of joy, "What about Miss Xu? What about Song Que?"

"We’ve all escaped, what about you? Why are you trapped inside?" Bai Yanliang’s voice carried confusion and puzzlement.

Am I trapped?

Qi Nian was a little stunned. No, the lock was clearly on her side, why would Bai Yanliang say it was she who was trapped?

Doesn’t being on the side where the lock is unseen mean being trapped?

"But... I can walk, right? There’s a corridor leading upwards on my side, as if I could go directly to the surface!" Qi Nian said, increasingly puzzled by Bai Yanliang’s words.

"Is it?" Bai Yanliang’s voice paused, "It seems... I am the one trapped..."

"Then what should I do? How can I help you?" Qi Nian asked earnestly.

Bai Yanliang hesitated, apparently thinking, then said a moment later, "You should look around nearby to see if there are things like keys; since you’re outside the door, the key shouldn’t be hidden too deeply."

"Oh, okay! I’ll go find it right away!"

Qi Nian nodded but felt a chill in her heart.

The person inside the metal door... wasn’t Bai Yanliang.

Definitely not!

Qi Nian slowly retreated and was about to make her way up along the corridor to leave the basement.

At this moment, Bai Yanliang spoke again.

"Qi Nian!"

"Wha...what’s up?" Qi Nian, realizing it wasn’t Bai Yanliang, couldn’t help the sudden tension in her voice.

"... After leaving Fog Gathering, let’s... travel around the world?"

Bai Yanliang’s voice was gentle.

But in Qi Nian’s ears, it was like a thunderclap.

Her lips parted slightly, her pupils quivering, her face showing both surprise and incredulity, but moments later, the hint of joy was as if an illusion, vanishing into thin air.

"Okay..." Qi Nian’s eyes curved into a crescent moon of a smile, "If... I survive leaving Fog Gathering, I will certainly..."

Her voice was so low it didn’t seem like she was responding to the person on the other side of the metal door.

"What did you say?"

The voice from the other side of the metal door was puzzled.

"Nothing! I’m going to find you a key." Qi Nian skillfully turned on her heel, her ponytail bouncing with lively arcs, as if nothing had happened just now, briskly leaving.

To that pair of eyes watching intently from the door gap, Qi Nian’s departing figure stayed firmly in its sight, "Promise... bring me... the key..."

...

The hall.

Having broken free from the illusion, Xu Zhifei rested for a moment and, feeling somewhat restored, stood up to leave.

However, she noticed that now there seemed to be more items on the wooden table that had previously held A4 paper?

A change flickered in Xu Zhifei’s expression, and she cautiously approached, looking down at the tabletop.

And the additional items on the table... caused her icy pupils to constrict.

This was another A4 sheet of paper.

However, its header contained several words:

"Ghost to Hell" First Act Script.

Performers: Qi Nian, Bai Yanliang, Xu Zhifei, Song Que, Liu Ruonan.

Chills ran down Xu Zhifei’s body, and her left hand trembled as she reached for the A4 paper, quickly scanning through it, her expression finally changing completely.

Qi Nian is going to have an accident!
