Frightening Joke: Above the Mist
Chapter 308 Suspicion

Chapter 308: Chapter 308 Suspicion

As the first scene of Bai Yanliang and his group’s mission just concluded, Du Shangjing was sprinting madly down an empty street.

Run!

It’s coming, it’s really coming!

Because he missed the appointment, the ghost has entered the real world to come find him!

Du Shangjing didn’t know if this ghost was from Sanbai Town or one specifically used by Fog Gathering to "punish" those who missed meetings.

Fortunately, once Du Shangjing rushed out of the airport, the fear of being watched lessened significantly.

But now the question was, where should he escape to?

The ghost seemed to be able to find him no matter where he went.

Helpless, at wit’s end...

If this ghost were a part of the fierce ghost from Sanbai Town, there might still be some hope for him.

As long as Bai Yanliang’s group could complete their mission and come out alive.

If Bai Yanliang and the others could fully resolve that fierce ghost using the rules, then his predicament would be solved.

However... if this fierce ghost came from Fog Gathering or some eerier place, not from Sanbai Town, then he would be in big trouble...

In any case... he couldn’t give up hope.

Yes... there’s still room to maneuver!

If that fierce ghost could really sense his location, it wouldn’t have needed to call him!

Yes... that must be right!

Du Shangjing suddenly remembered that the ghost asked twice where he was before suddenly appearing at the airport.

Does that mean, as long as he doesn’t answer any calls next, or simply cuts off all contact with the outside world and hides somewhere, the ghost won’t be able to find him?

Thinking this way... maybe leaving Ye City and staying in some desolate deep mountains and old forests would be a better choice.

The more Du Shangjing thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed. Since it needed to confirm his location by calling, it proved that it couldn’t perceive his location out of thin air.

In such a big world, hiding a person in some corner... shouldn’t be so easily found, right...

Truth be told, Du Shangjing was already ready to go abroad, as long as he could go home, grab his passport, head straight to some visa-free countries, and hide for a week.

He just didn’t believe that across vast distances, the ghost could still find him!

However, just as he was thinking this, Du Shangjing’s shoulder was suddenly tapped lightly.

He was so startled that he shivered involuntarily, and when he turned to look...

It was actually Ren Wudao?

"You’re very scared?"

"You are... Mr. Ren?"

Du Shangjing looked at the unsmiling man in front of him, who was wearing glasses.

Ren Wudao did not answer what seemed to be a rhetorical question but instead continued to ask, "Who’s chasing you?"

Du Shangjing’s lips were dry, and upon hearing Ren Wudao’s question, he immediately looked back again: "A ghost... I was late for a mission this time, and now a ghost is searching the world for me."

Upon hearing this, Ren Wudao also turned to look in the direction of the airport. After pondering for a moment, he looked back at Du Shangjing and said, "Do you trust me?"

This...

Suddenly, Du Shangjing felt a jolt in his heart.

To be honest, he was very suspicious of Ren Wudao’s identity. Why was it clearly him last time, but this time in Fog Gathering, he wasn’t there?

He had appeared in Fog Gathering as Yu Sheng’s brother, but this time, Yu Sheng seemed to have forgotten about Ren Wudao.

Oddly enough, people who weren’t even familiar with Ren Wudao remembered him clearly.

Moreover... now Du Shangjing couldn’t even confirm if the person standing in front of him really was Ren Wudao.

"Mr. Ren... could you tell me why you’re here?"

When asked this question, goosebumps covered Du Shangjing’s whole body.

Ren Wudao’s appearance was too bizarre, as if he appeared just to appear, with no reason to be wandering near the airport street.

Du Shangjing stared closely at him, primed to run at the slightest hint of abnormality in Ren Wudao’s expression!

Even though he might not outrun him...

However, Ren Wudao’s answer was completely unexpected to Du Shangjing.

The man took off his glasses, took out a handkerchief from his suit pocket to wipe them, and then put them back on.

"If I said I knew you would appear here and came specifically to wait for you, would you believe it?"

Ren Wudao didn’t use a questioning tone at all, but the implication in his words was profoundly meaningful.

Du Shangjing was indeed stunned by his statement, not knowing how to react for a moment.

But then he thought, if Ren Wudao were a ghost, wouldn’t this be the best time for him to act?

The day had turned dark; the surroundings were deserted, with only occasional passing cars and not far from him, a large mirror at the corner.

"I... trust you."

Du Shangjing gritted his teeth, making up his mind.

Since Ren Wudao said he was here specifically waiting for him, he likely knew about his plight. Although Ren Wudao didn’t explain how he knew Du Shangjing would be here, at this moment, Ren Wudao seemed like the only lifeline for Du Shangjing.

With his mind blank and unable to make any other choice, even a wrong choice brings a sense of relief.

On hearing Du Shangjing’s words, Ren Wudao nodded.

"Follow me."

With those words, he turned and walked towards an alley beside them.

Du Shangjing hesitated again...

The deep, dark alley resembled a yawning abyss ready to devour him.

It even made Du Shangjing feel as if he would end up dead and gone if he walked in...

He stood there for a long time without moving.

Ren Wudao seemed to sense Du Shangjing’s immobility as he stopped, stood at the alley’s entrance, and turned to look at him:

"What’s wrong?"

Du Shangjing inexplicably shivered as a thought suddenly popped into his mind.

The ghost chasing me... doesn’t have some limitations, does it?

For instance... it can’t kill in broad daylight or something like that.

Otherwise, why hadn’t it acted when it clearly found me at the airport?

So far, everything it has done is to frighten and terrify... It’s trying to chase me into a deserted place!

Du Shangjing realized, looking at Ren Wudao standing at the alley’s entrance, feeling a chill through his body.

"No... no, I suddenly remembered another place I could go..."

As he spoke, Du Shangjing began to slowly back away.

This time, Ren Wudao frowned slightly. He seemed somewhat anxious, gesturing to Du Shangjing, "Didn’t you say you trusted me?"

Ren Wudao’s impatient attitude further dispelled Du Shangjing’s desire to follow him.

Without further hesitation, Du Shangjing turned and bolted away!

As he turned, he suddenly saw a wide-angle mirror two or three meters away, a facility set up at the corner for road safety.

In the mirror... Du Shangjing saw himself, saw the highway, saw the speeding private cars, saw the alley.

But the entrance of the alley in the mirror... was empty...

He is the ghost!
