Frightening Joke: Above the Mist
Chapter 323 Protagonist

Chapter 323: Chapter 323 Protagonist

Damn it...

Although Qi Nian didn’t know how Bai Yanliang was deducing, if he missed some key information, even with a complete logic, he wouldn’t get the real answer.

Qi Nian couldn’t care about Bai Yanliang’s instructions and immediately rushed out of the basement; she needed to help him!

Song Que might be the protagonist of the Fog Gathering script, and his emotions have been affected.

But Bai Yanliang is the protagonist of the fierce ghost script, so he must have been affected too!

However, perhaps because Bai Yanliang’s emotions were too subtle, the slight changes in his emotions and the minor deviations in his behavior logic weren’t noticed by anyone.

Bai Yanliang might have deduced most of the truth, but he missed the most crucial point.

The protagonist isn’t Song Que, it’s him!

This outcome also exposed Bai Yanliang’s greatest weakness.

His upbringing was too singular, and all his knowledge came from books.

And the complexity of human relationships and human hearts, he had not experienced personally.

When he saw Liu Anzhi bringing up money, Bai Yanliang instinctively considered rules and human nature.

He didn’t think about Liu Anzhi’s social relationships at all.

This was also because he spent his teenage years in a mental institution, with no concept of social interaction.

However, Qi Nian, who grew up in a normal family, immediately thought in a completely different direction from Bai Yanliang when she saw that scene.

In the end, she discovered the hidden truth.

Everyone makes mistakes, and Bai Yanliang was no exception.

But this time, the mistake might cost him his life.

This was something Qi Nian could not accept.

She had been cautiously searching, but she didn’t know where Bai Yanliang was...

...

Stairway entrance.

Bai Yanliang and Xu Zhifei ascended the stairs from opposite directions.

The moment they stepped into the corridor, they simultaneously saw each other, and... Zhan Yunhong standing at a doorway.

Zhan Yunhong?

Upon seeing him, Bai Yanliang’s breathing hitched.

He realized something was off!

No, why did he appear the moment the accident happened?

That’s too fast...

No... he was at the scene; he was in the car!

Although the angle changed after the accident, Liu Anzhi’s position... clearly was the passenger seat!

Ye City prohibits right-hand drive cars, and Liu Anzhi was sitting by the right window, so the driver wasn’t Liu Anzhi, it was Zhan Yunhong!

Bai Yanliang’s heart tightened.

If that’s the case, then Song Que was playing Zhan Yunhong’s role, and he... is in Liu Anzhi’s role!

Am I the protagonist?

As Bai Yanliang realized this, a huge shadow appeared in front of him.

"Creak—"

A tall woman pushed the door open.

The eyes on her forehead suddenly all turned in the same direction.

In each of her pupils, Bai Yanliang’s reflection was cast.

Watching him simultaneously were Zhan Yunhong and Xu Zhifei from the other end of the corridor...

Run!

Bai Yanliang only caught a glimpse of the fierce ghost with eyes all over its forehead from the corner of his eye before he immediately backflipped to retreat.

Just as he dodged down the stairs, a gigantic terrifying hand swiped past the spot where he had just stood.

Bai Yanliang felt a chill in his heart.

So it is me...

Bai Yanliang dared not look back; he could hear the very close sound behind him.

That was the sound of the giant fierce ghost brushing against the wall; the light from behind cast two shadows on Bai Yanliang as he ran.

One was himself, and the other... followed closely behind, less than a meter away; its hand was so close it nearly reached his back.

I never thought I’d deliver myself to the door...

This thought flashed through Bai Yanliang’s mind, accompanied by the image of Zhan Yunhong earlier.

What was he doing at that door?

Was he waiting for someone?

No... that’s not right.

Before Xu Zhifei went up to the second floor, the fierce ghost was already on the same floor with Zhan Yunhong.

This ghost came out after opening a door, meaning it went inside to find someone.

And Zhan Yunhong had been standing there in the corridor, outside a room.

He was bound to be seen by the ghost.

Why didn’t the ghost attack him?

That’s right, Song Que!

The room belonged to Song Que.

Why was Zhan Yunhong blocking Song Que’s door?

Between life and death, Bai Yanliang’s brain moved rapidly.

Because of his oversight, an almost irretrievable situation had occurred.

He had to find a way to deal with the dire situation in front of him.

The special aspect of Song Que...

That’s right! Song Que’s role in the script was Zhan Yunhong’s role in that incident!

What does he want to do? Kill Song Que?

Could it be... as long as Song Que dies, he wouldn’t have to die?

Bai Yanliang’s thoughts raced.

Then, he heard a tearing sound!

The back of Bai Yanliang’s clothes had already been slashed by the ghost’s claws!

No... I can’t outrun it.

Bai Yanliang gritted his teeth; he wasn’t afraid of dying, but he didn’t want to die meaninglessly.

Especially... after that five-year-old’s memories were transferred, Bai Yanliang became even more motivated.

The scenes he saw didn’t seem to be the complete truth; there might be changes.

Are those images real or fake? Was he a body born from Bai Yanren’s shadow, or was he truly, Bai Yanren’s brother?

These questions troubled Bai Yanliang but also gave him hope.

Bai Yanliang wasn’t someone who couldn’t live without hope, but he couldn’t deny that having some expectations made life more motivating.

For instance, at this moment, his will to survive was stronger than ever.

He didn’t want to die, couldn’t die!

So many mysteries haven’t been solved yet; how can I die here?

But... this fierce ghost behind him, he really can’t outrun it.

How exactly can he escape?

Bai Yanliang thought about the entire incident’s causes and effects, and moments later, he came up with two answers.

First, find a person... Liu Ruonan.

That woman has some special means of escape, she’s very unusual.

She isn’t someone from the past world, but when Bai Yanliang searched for information on this case with his phone, he saw her name on the list of the deceased.

Bai Yanliang remembers clearly that it listed the deceased as: Lin, Liu, Zhan, Ouyang, Liu, five people.

The two listed as Liu were Liu Anzhi’s daughter Liu Rui and the other was her, Liu Ruonan.

Why did she die in the past?

But reappear now?

This should be her secret, which Bai Yanliang suspected was the fundamental reason she could shuttle back to the past worlds so abnormally.

She never showed any fear or panic towards the fierce ghost from beginning to end. If she wasn’t a person like Bai Yanliang, then there was only one reason.

Liu Ruonan had some means that made the fierce ghost unable to hurt her.

She knew she was absolutely safe, so she was unrestrained.

However... right now, how could he find Liu Ruonan, who has already disappeared without a trace?

The fierce ghost was about to catch Bai Yanliang, and there was simply no time for circling around.

And the second method... Bai Yanliang didn’t want to use at all.

But at this moment, that person appeared.

Qi Nian’s eyes widened, filled with fear and tension, as she watched the fierce ghost closely chasing Bai Yanliang.

She clenched her fist.

Just like before, the only thing she could think of... was one way.
