Frightening Joke: Above the Mist
Chapter 322: Mysterious

Chapter 322: Chapter 322: Mysterious

Liu Anzhi’s death was not an accident, but inevitable!

Because his car didn’t malfunction; it encountered... a ghost.

Bai Yanliang didn’t believe in coincidences or fate, so when he saw the footage of Liu Anzhi when he was alive, he immediately became suspicious.

The place where Liu Anzhi had his car accident, and the eerie process of the accident, was almost identical to what they encountered on the way.

The only difference was that the driver Song Que didn’t die.

If all this was a movie, a script, a nightmare-like real horror experience, then why was Song Que the protagonist?

Bai Yanliang had been suspicious of this from the beginning.

Until he saw Liu Anzhi’s dashboard camera footage.

There weren’t just two scripts, but three!

The first, a script written by Liu Rui, targeted only three people: Zhan Yunhong, Lin Dayou, Ouyang Kang.

Among them, because Ouyang Kang once helped Liu Anzhi, she repaid Ouyang Kang with her body, so... Ouyang Kang still had to die.

The second, a script written by "Fog Gathering" or some unknown rules, targeted five people: Bai Yanliang, Xu Zhifei, Song Que, Qi Nian, and Liu Ruonan. It could control people’s emotions and logical thinking, very terrifying.

But the third script was written by... a ghost, and it didn’t target Ouyang Kang or Bai Yanliang’s group.

The only ones who would be targeted by it were those who... got into an accident at that time, in that place.

This script didn’t start the moment they entered the villa... but when they received the task from Fog Gathering.

So, the driver Song Que was in Liu Anzhi’s role.

This wasn’t Liu Rui’s script, but... the ghost’s script.

There was a ghost that hunted down passersby on that road, at that place.

So... this time its targets were Bai Yanliang and the other three.

These three scripts each have their own different storylines but use the same eerie power.

So when one script was in effect, events from another script wouldn’t occur.

The most obvious flaw was those two A4 papers.

On the A4 paper with the first scene written on it, Xu Zhifei’s scene appeared; she was at the beginning of the second scene.

However, on another A4 paper discovered later, there wasn’t even Xu Zhifei’s name listed among the performers of the second scene.

Even the storyline of the second scene didn’t connect with the end of the first scene but jumped directly to the plot with Lin Dayou’s group.

This awkward logic made Bai Yanliang feel something was wrong at the time, and now it seemed two scripts were interwoven...

So, just now, when "Liu Rui" was exposed and revealed her true form, the third script, the ghost’s script, began.

And its first target was Song Que.

Song Que was the male lead of the ghost’s script.

If he was eliminated, the whole story would end.

And once the story ended, it didn’t mean that Bai Yanliang and the others could complete their task smoothly; rather... they would disappear along with Song Que.

So... Song Que absolutely must not die.

Bai Yanliang lowered his steps and slowly climbed the stairs.

...

Basement.

Qi Nian frowned slightly, she always felt that something was off.

Bai Yanliang said it was very safe here because this was a basement created by the Fog Gathering script, and other ghosts probably couldn’t enter.

Qi Nian didn’t quite understand Bai Yanliang’s talk of this script, that script.

But she had her own thoughts.

Qi Nian being able to survive as a newcomer was definitely not just due to luck; she had her own qualities.

When she looked at a phenomenon or event, she didn’t use much perspective.

In other words, Qi Nian wasn’t good at multi-angle analysis of issues, but her thinking was extraordinarily accurate.

While others already developed several lines of thought, Qi Nian would just come up with one.

But, compared to everyone methodically ruling out incorrect thoughts to find the right one, Qi Nian’s way was entirely different.

She had only one, so she never doubted she was wrong.

So... although Qi Nian trusted Bai Yanliang, she always had the feeling that Bai Yanliang had left in a hurry and seemed to have missed something.

What was it?

This feeling was like a cat scratching at her heart, making Qi Nian restless.

She touched the key in her pocket, this place... should be alright.

Is "Bai Yanliang" behind the metal door still there?

In any case... no matter what he says, she won’t respond.

Qi Nian made up her mind.

At the same time, she took out her phone again and hit the play button.

Pulling the progress bar to the scene of the car accident, Qi Nian began to watch seriously.

Then, the image reached that part again.

A tall figure started banging on the window, seemingly wanting to rescue Liu Anzhi.

But then... Liu Anzhi’s lips moved.

"Thirty million, I have thirty million in a nearby villa, save me."

Although Bai Yanliang thought Liu Anzhi was accustomed to certain rules and mentioned money immediately upon speaking out.

But Qi Nian didn’t think that way, she always felt there was a reason Liu Anzhi brought up money so quickly in such a situation.

Did Zhan Yunhong say something to him while banging on the window?

Could it be that Zhan Yunhong was the one who actively asked for money?

Qi Nian’s head began to hurt.

Could there be another possibility?

Why...?

Qi Nian rewound the video repeatedly, and this strange feeling grew stronger and stronger.

What exactly was wrong...?

The vehicle lost control, overturned, the camera shifted, Liu Anzhi, covered in blood, appeared in the footage...

Wait!

It’s the direction!

The direction was wrong!

Qi Nian’s eyes widened, as the dashboard camera filming the road was knocked askew, it captured the driving seat, Liu Anzhi was sitting in the passenger seat, without a steering wheel!

Qi Nian hurriedly pulled the progress bar back again and watched closely.

The screen started to rotate, blur, clear again... airbags deployed, the camera tilted, the image overturned... The airbags blocked the front position, but upon close inspection, it was clear that there was no steering wheel in front of Liu Anzhi!

Liu Anzhi wasn’t driving, someone else was when the accident happened!

Suddenly, Qi Nian realized where the unnatural feeling came from.

It was the speed!

Zhan Yunhong appeared too quickly, just after the accident, he was there!

Zhan Yunhong was the one driving!

Who was he? A film crew member? An actor? A driver? A bodyguard?

At that moment, Qi Nian suddenly shivered.

No... this scene, it’s so familiar...

Isn’t this the scene when we came?

Song Que driving, suddenly lost control, a car accident happened...

But Song Que was fine, while Bai Yanliang in the passenger seat got hurt.

As the driver, Song Que immediately went to help Bai Yanliang...

Qi Nian couldn’t suppress the tension in her heart anymore; she suddenly stood up and rushed out of the basement.

No... No!

It’s not Song Que...

It’s Bai Yanliang, he’s the main character!
