Frightening Joke: Above the Mist
Chapter 80: Liberation

Chapter 80: Chapter 80: Liberation

Yu Sheng stiffly turned her head, and in front of her appeared a young face, finally allowing her to breathe a sigh of relief.

Being scared by another person can truly be terrifying.

"Mr. Xiao Bin, why are you here?" Yu Sheng asked puzzled.

However, Xiao Bin didn’t answer her, but his hand started to tremble.

Xiao Bin slightly opened his mouth, as if wanting to say something, but couldn’t get the words out.

His hand’s trembling became more and more severe, to the point where even Yu Sheng felt something was wrong.

"Mr. Xiao Bin...are you, alright?"

At this moment, Xiao Bin’s appearance was very much like a patient having a seizure.

His neck suddenly twitched, his entire body shook violently, muscles twisted and bulged, turning red with veins and blood vessels standing out, making him look extremely frightening.

"Go...quickly...go!"

"...Ah!"

Xiao Bin uttered a few weak syllables, then lost control and let out a piercing scream.

The ground cracked open with a foul-smelling gap, crimson membranes stretched out, pierced his foot, and quickly spread across his body.

Yu Sheng was already stunned by the horrifying scene before her, Xiao Bin’s entire body was covered by the membranes and then...dragged into the crack in the ground.

Yu Sheng quickly pushed her wheelchair to escape. Before she left, she faintly saw a thick blackness cover Xiao Bin’s eyeballs, making his eye sockets turn completely dark, terrifyingly monstrous.

Fortunately, Xiao Bin seemed to have a last bit of consciousness, alerting Yu Sheng with a few words, otherwise...she too might have been swallowed by the membranes in the crack.

But, something even more frightening happened.

Yu Sheng suddenly felt the ground beneath her feet begin to tremble, and then...the entire village’s ground started to rise...

She fearfully discovered that the first part to bulge...turned out to be a giant human face!

No...the entire village was actually a massive corpse!

Yu Sheng instinctively widened her eyes, her mind went blank, it was utterly...an unimaginable nightmare!

No wonder...

The ground and houses rotted, and there was a stench of blood everywhere, it turns out...the whole village was a corpse.

What on earth...is this thing...

Yu Sheng shivered.

No...there was no time for her to think further.

The intense will to survive forced Yu Sheng to squeeze out every bit of her strength, she pushed her wheelchair, rapidly escaping across the slowly rising ground.

Ahead...the village entrance is just ahead...

As long as she could leave this terrifying village, there would be a faint hope...a hope of survival.

However, maybe she was in too much of a hurry, or the ground was too uneven, the wheelchair suddenly slammed into a protrusion, the momentum instantly throwing Yu Sheng off the wheelchair.

Yu Sheng crashed heavily to the ground, but since the ground had already transformed into flesh and blood, she wasn’t injured and didn’t feel much pain, but a wave of despair spread quickly when she was thrown from the wheelchair.

Yu Sheng bit her lip hard, holding back her tears.

She crawled forward one step at a time like an unsightly bug on the rotting flesh.

The ground bulged higher and steeper, this giant "corpse" seemed ready to stand up.

Yu Sheng was knocked off balance by the incline, rolled in a mess, gritted her teeth and crawled forward again, but her strength was completely exhausted...

Tears flowed uncontrollably, she didn’t want to cry, nor to die, there were still many things she wanted to do.

Yu Sheng had never hated her paralyzed legs more than she did now, but...there was nothing to be done now...

But now...she vaguely seemed to hear hurried footsteps.

How could there be someone in this village?

Who could it be?

Yet before she could turn around for a glance, Yu Sheng found an arm tightly wrapping around her waist.

The scenery in front of her retreated rapidly, she was being carried at the waist, escaping quickly.

Yu Sheng’s mind went blank, instinctively raising her head to see a man’s heavy breathing hitting her face.

"Mr. Bai...?"

Bai Yanliang was focused solely on running away, and when he heard a faint call, he responded:

"Mm."

Yu Sheng found it hard to describe her emotions at this moment with words, but she knew that this scene...she would remember for a lifetime.

Bai Yanliang’s thoughts were not as complex as Yu Sheng’s.

When he returned to the village, he happened to see the ground rising, and Yu Sheng rolling on the ground.

He never minded doing a small favor, so here was this scene.

Bai Yanliang’s speed was not slow, and carrying a Yu Sheng didn’t delay anything, he soon burst out of the village entrance, arriving outside the village.

But...Bai Yanliang didn’t stop and continued running forward.

Yu Sheng looked at his direction, seemingly intending to run outside the mountains.

Yu Sheng looked back at the village and was instantly too frightened to speak...

After a long while, she trembled and said, "Bai Yanliang, look..."

Bai Yanliang didn’t notice that this time Yu Sheng directly called his name, he just continued running, glancing aside with his peripheral vision.

But that one look made Bai Yanliang, who rarely had emotional fluctuations, feel his heart suddenly stop.

What...the hell is that thing.

At this moment, the village had completely disappeared, replaced by a gigantic, bloated, fully decayed...human.

It should have been extraordinarily tall, but it looked like it had no bones inside, all the flesh slumped, and its face seemed to be an oddly assembled puzzle, very much like...the people in the village.

Bai Yanliang just took one look and withdrew his gaze, he had two plans in mind, it just depended on...whether it would chase him.

Bai Yanliang didn’t know, if it were just him, it might not have even targeted him.

But...he now had Yu Sheng at his waist.

Maybe there was something about her that particularly attracted it, the moment it saw Yu Sheng, it moved.

"It’s coming...Bai Yanliang, it’s coming for us..."

Yu Sheng trembled, reminding him, she really wanted to ask Bai Yanliang, is there any point in keeping running forward like this? It would eventually catch up, and then...

Yu Sheng didn’t dare imagine further.

However, at this moment, something unexpected happened. In Yu Sheng’s gaze, that monster suddenly twisted its head, then stretched out its hand.

Its massive palm reached through the trees, knocking down large swathes of them, and when it reappeared, it held a mass of people between its fingers.

It was them!

Those villagers!

In Yu Sheng’s horrified gaze, it raised its head, opened its scarlet maw, and threw those wailing, struggling villagers...inside.

A horrifying chewing sound resounded behind her, but its movements didn’t stop, it kept reaching into the forest.

Screams, wails, curses, various sounds filled the mountains, with bright red quickly staining the ground.

Its gigantic body stood there, like a mountain, incredibly intimidating.

Yu Sheng instinctively clutched Bai Yanliang’s shirt, daring not to look back again, those villagers...had already been devoured completely.

But at this moment, Bai Yanliang suddenly stopped, placing Yu Sheng on the ground.

Yu Sheng looked up at him in confusion, seeing Bai Yanliang gasping for breath, his forehead covered in sweat.

This was already the mountain top where they had entered the village; did he run out of energy?

The thought flashed through Yu Sheng’s mind, after all...are they going to die here...

But she noticed that Bai Yanliang didn’t have a trace of despair in his eyes.

A moment later, under Yu Sheng’s terrified gaze, Bai Yanliang stood up and waved at the enormous ghost.

"Hey! I’m here!"

What was he doing!

Yu Sheng widened her eyes, fearful and puzzled looking at Bai Yanliang.

The terrible, enormous ghost also looked at him, just a few steps forward, and it stretched its hand over.

It was so colossal, big enough that it only needed a few steps to reach Bai Yanliang.

"What...exactly are you doing?" Yu Sheng watched Bai Yanliang’s back in bewildered terror; the house-sized hand was already close to them.

At this moment, Bai Yanliang turned around, even giving her a small smile: "It’s okay, the half-hour mark has arrived, we’re already outside the village."

Yu Sheng couldn’t understand what he was saying.

At the same time, that giant hand had reached close!

Yu Sheng watched hopelessly as the giant hand covered all her vision.

Suddenly, a miracle occurred!

As it reached the mountain top, this hand actually...began to melt rapidly!

Then, in Yu Sheng’s unbelievable gaze, the enormous ghost’s body trembled wildly, its entire flesh collapsed furiously, endless black bugs gushed out from everywhere, and in almost an instant! This mountain-like giant fierce ghost was completely devoured...

Yu Sheng blankly looked at Bai Yanliang, only to see a blood-red mist emerging from his head, and then a blood-red mist emerged from her own head.

They did it...

They did it!

Bai Yanliang’s eyes were still looking at the direction of the village, but there...was nothing left.

No...there was something.

Bai Yanliang had seen earlier, at the moment the monster was consumed by the black bugs, the silhouette of a young man’s body flashed briefly.

The darkness in his eyes faded rapidly, it seemed...a hint of relief flashed.
