Frightening Joke: Above the Mist
Chapter 31: Twins

Chapter 31: Chapter 31: Twins

Feng Xinghan looked at the still tightly closed door in front of him and suddenly felt a dry mouth and tongue.

Hallucination? Everything that happened just now was real enough to be terrifying. Feng Xinghan subconsciously touched his neck, and a slight stinging sensation was transmitted.

This... not all hallucination...

No, even if Fog Gathering deems him negative, he doesn’t want to enter this room again!

That was a warning, a blatant warning!

If he still charges in with a reckless attitude, he’s afraid it’s nine deaths and one life.

What exactly is hidden in this room, Feng Xinghan no longer wants to think about this question.

But... just as he was about to turn around, he suddenly heard... the sound of water.

"Drip... drip..."

A drop of water slid down from the ceiling, shattering on the floor.

Feng Xinghan was taken aback, then a strong fear surged up from the bottom of his heart!

Something’s wrong... something’s not right!

"Tap... tap..."

Footsteps suddenly sounded from the stairway.

Listening to that sound, it seemed like the person was barefoot, walking up...

Who... would climb the stairs barefoot at this moment?

Feng Xinghan’s heart trembled, goosebumps appeared on his arms instantly.

The dark stairway seemed like a mouth gradually growing larger, approaching him.

Feng Xinghan broke out in a cold sweat; it didn’t matter, he had to escape!

If he didn’t escape now, he’d die!

Without thinking of anything extra, he turned and ran towards the elevator!

Fast, faster!

The footsteps became increasingly clearer.

Feng Xinghan rushed to the elevator, hurriedly pressing the button. This damned elevator was stuck on the first floor, as if someone had just happened to take it up?

He looked up at the elevator slowly climbing from floor to floor, sweating profusely from urgency.

At this moment... he could already see the top of a head at the stairway opposite the hallway!

"Hurry! Hurry!"

Feng Xinghan frantically and incessantly pressed the elevator button, although this couldn’t speed up the elevator’s ascent at all.

It was almost six o’clock; the sun in Ying City was about to set.

Dim yellow light slanted into the stairway, and finally... she appeared!

In Feng Xinghan’s terrified gaze, a woman as pale as death, swollen all over, and dripping water all over, stood at the stairway!

Her wet long hair dragged on the floor, and her eyeless eyes were filled with resentment!

A maliciousness came approaching swiftly, causing Feng Xinghan’s legs to go weak with fright, nearly collapsing to the ground!

"Clap... clap... clap..."

Feng Xinghan turned his head, desperately pressing the elevator button, causing it to constantly make clapping sounds.

His pupils were constricting and dilating constantly, and his throat was already unable to produce normal sounds.

This was the manifestation of extreme fear!

In the corridor behind, water stains began spreading on the floor.

Strands of terrifying aura gradually extended over.

Feng Xinghan shivered, feeling he was being watched by a terrifying pair of eyes behind him! This dreadful malice made him feel like he was in an ice pit.

At this damned moment, the elevator stopped on the third floor again!

"Fuck you!"

Fear had nearly robbed him of his reason. This sturdy middle-aged man punched the elevator button, eyes bloodshot.

Feng Xinghan didn’t dare turn his head, fearing that horrifying woman would be standing right behind him if he did!

"Drip... drip..."

The water increased.

The woman, barefoot, stepped on the water one step at a time, the drenched footsteps echoing along the narrow corridor.

Feng Xinghan’s eyes almost popped out of his sockets as he discovered.

Water was also continuously seeping from the ceiling and the walls around him!

Until... a maliciousness close at hand stuck to his back.

But just at this moment, a sound rang out!

"Ding——"

The elevator had arrived!

A rush of ecstasy surged in Feng Xinghan’s heart as the elevator doors slowly opened in front of him.

A familiar face appeared before him.

"Gui Fang? What are you doing here?"

The voice of surprise and doubt had just left his mouth when Feng Xinghan felt a chill run through his body.

The person in the elevator was his wife, Zhang Guifang.

But... Zhang Guifang had long been dead!

A strong sense of fear arose in his heart, and in the elevator, Zhang Guifang suddenly reached out her pale hand, that eerily familiar face showing an abnormal smile...

...

Li Yuejun stopped in her tracks, her expression somewhat peculiar as she looked at the building in front of her — the police station.

That’s right, she was here to report to the police.

Moreover, she was here at Bai Yanliang’s behest.

After hearing Bai Yanliang’s request, Li Yuejun increasingly felt that he was a strange man.

This was clearly a past time, clearly events that had already happened, clearly a terrifying world with the existence of a fierce ghost, and he still wanted to report to the police?

But... no matter what, because of Bai Yanliang’s help, she didn’t mind running this errand.

Although Ruyi Hotel had already reported to the police once, that time was under the pretense of a missing person, but this time, it was murder.

As for why not choose to call the police but personally visit the police station, this was already common knowledge in Wuji.

After all... in this abnormal world, who knows if the other side of the connected phone is really human?

"I want to report a case."

Li Yuejun entered the police station and succinctly said.

Upon hearing Li Yuejun’s voice, the officer immediately began recording the situation.

"Miss, please explain in detail."

"Ruyi Hotel, it’s the hotel owned by Boss Ding, Ding Lei. A murder occurred."

Li Yuejun’s words caused the officer taking the statement to change his expression, his demeanor suddenly growing much more solemn.

A murder... is never a trivial matter at any time.

"A young woman named Zhang Qiao died at Ruyi Hotel. She was Ding Lei’s sister-in-law."

"Ding Lei?" The officer suddenly rummaged around, then took out a photo, handing it to Li Yuejun.

"Is it him?"

Li Yuejun looked at the photo of a well-built, reasonably handsome man in his thirties, shook her head slightly.

"I’ve never seen him, I can’t be certain."

Then, as if remembering something, she quickly asked, "Has he committed any crimes?"

The officer retrieved the photo, shook his head, saying, "He hasn’t, this is his brother, Ding Peng."

Li Yuejun’s eyes suddenly widened, and she snatched the photo from the officer’s hand, carefully looking at the man, and asked:

"You mean... they’re twins? Ding Lei and Ding Peng look the same?"

The officer nodded, confirming this statement.

"They are identical twins, their DNA is the same, not to mention their looks."

Speaking of this, the officer added, "Ding Lei is honest, but his brother Ding Peng is a habitual criminal, never changing his petty theft, relying on his relatively good looks to con young women for money and sex."

After hearing this, Li Yuejun’s brain went into a fog.

Ding Peng... Ding Lei looks the same...

Although she didn’t know what this represented, a strong sense of unease suddenly appeared in Li Yuejun’s heart.

Not bothering whether the phone was safe anymore, she directly looked up and asked, "Could I borrow the phone for a moment?"
