Frightening Joke: Above the Mist-Chapter 342: Blood Red

Gu Pingsheng hesitated.

Feng Xiuxue also hesitated.

Her hesitation... was about whether to go out and meet up with Gu Pingsheng.

At that moment, Feng Xiuxue felt an inexplicable panic.

Although she had become a survivor of another dimension, in terms of difficulty and horror level, it couldn’t compare to Fog Gathering at all.

Even the duration of missions and the time Li Mu, who had already died, spent surviving was longer than both of her attempts combined.

She always felt like she was overlooking something, something... very important.

This sense of unease became particularly acute after the silhouette of the fierce ghost disappeared around the street corner.

Feng Xiuxue trembled as she raised her right hand. At that moment, she didn’t feel much fear, but her hand trembled uncontrollably.

As if it didn’t belong to her body at all.

Something’s wrong with my state...

Feng Xiuxue immediately came to this conclusion and without hesitation, she prepared to step out from the row of trees to meet up with Gu Pingsheng ahead.

With his support, things should be a lot better.

However, just as Feng Xiuxue took a step, her legs suddenly gave way!

For some reason, her legs were trembling violently too.

Moreover, under Feng Xiuxue’s slightly fearful gaze, her entire body began to shake abnormally.

All of a sudden!

A blood-red hue flashed before Feng Xiuxue’s eyes!

Everything in her vision was tinged with crimson!

Feng Xiuxue widened her eyes in fear and saw... in the blood-red world she saw, a distant figure approached.

Bare feet, tiptoeing, long hair, and skinless scarlet flesh...

It’s that ghost!

Feng Xiuxue was horrified; her legs gave way, and she fell to the ground with a "thump!"

Hearing the noise from behind, Gu Pingsheng immediately turned his head and saw the strange state of Feng Xiuxue.

He glanced from afar before gradually approaching her.

"Miss Feng, are you alright?"

Gu Pingsheng, standing in front of Feng Xiuxue, couldn’t quite understand her current state.

The ground was flat, yet she had stumbled.

Not only that, her whole body was trembling as if she’d been scared out of her wits.

Her knee kept oozing blood from the fall.

Now that Gu Pingsheng had come over, even if she didn’t want to cooperate with him, there was no other choice.

Feng Xiuxue frowned tightly and leaned against a tree to stand up.

More than pain and discomfort, she wanted to understand what had just happened to her body.

Why the sudden trembling? The unexpected fall? And... what did that blood-red vision mean...

Feng Xiuxue took the gauze Gu Pingsheng handed over. As a doctor, he usually carried emergency medical supplies, although everyone often advised him not to make a fuss over it, as any non-fatal injury in Fog Gathering would heal upon returning to reality.

But Gu Pingsheng would just smile when he heard such comments.

Unexpectedly, it came in handy now.

Feng Xiuxue wrapped her injured knee with the gauze.

The wound didn’t hurt, and the bleeding wasn’t much. After bandaging it slightly, Feng Xiuxue felt it was fine.

"Thank you, Doctor Gu."

Feng Xiuxue sincerely thanked Gu Pingsheng.

However, only she knew how much genuine gratitude was behind her thank you.

Gu Pingsheng nodded, picked up his phone, and looked at it after turning on the screen.

As expected... there was a missed call.

The call was from Feng Xiuxue, who was now in front of him.

The call had been made three minutes ago.

Probably during the time the ghost was standing behind him.

Feng Xiuxue glanced over and saw Gu Pingsheng’s phone too.

She acted as though she hadn’t seen anything and said, "I tried to inform you earlier that a ghost was heading towards your street."

Gu Pingsheng looked at her and smiled.

"Thank you."

It seemed like he didn’t mind at all; instead, he gazed towards the corner where the fierce ghost disappeared.

"Should we... follow it?"

"Of course!"

Feng Xiuxue moved a step closer to Gu Pingsheng.

However, as she took that step, her knee ached, but she could bear this bit of pain and didn’t pay much attention to it.

However, a sudden burst of blood-red appeared before her, leaving Feng Xiuxue momentarily stunned.

In an instant, the crimson hue vanished again.

Feng Xiuxue paused her body, clearly feeling something wrong.

The pain in her foot began to surge, and the cold night air made her body feel increasingly chilly.

Gu Pingsheng glanced at her and noticed her brief rigidity earlier.

But he couldn’t understand why Feng Xiuxue would suddenly stiffen.

Feng Xiuxue, however, had the same thought as him.

No matter why the ghost didn’t act to kill him, they had to follow it to maintain the "witnessing" state constantly.

As for whether to notify Bai Yanliang... forget it.

Enough time had passed since the ghost disappeared around the street corner; perhaps Bai Yanliang had already encountered the ghost.

"Let’s follow quickly."

With that, Gu Pingsheng jogged towards the street corner.

Watching his receding figure, Feng Xiuxue hesitated.

She started moving, following him, the wound she had bumped on the ground continuously throbbing with pain.

It shouldn’t be...

This small wound shouldn’t hurt so much...

A sense of unease enveloped her.

Feng Xiuxue instinctively turned her head to glance back at the street she’d walked with the ghost, with nothing there.

More appropriately, there was no "person."

Feng Xiuxue steadied her mind and focused, trying to rid herself of wild thoughts.

Maybe... her legs just grew weak, and the wound happened to hit the most painful spot.

She used every means and reason to convince herself, yet...

The full view of blood-red appearing in her sight...

That ghastly, peculiar, and terrifying blood-red hue...

And the figure of the fierce ghost emerging from the depths of scarlet... why had it appeared...

In Feng Xiuxue’s mind, a clutter of thoughts emerged uncontrollably, her fear gradually rooting itself deep within, the more she thought, the more she felt a trembling sensation emerging from her soul.

She shook her head, struggling to overcome the pain in her knee as she caught up with Gu Pingsheng at the street corner.

Seeing her catch up, Gu Pingsheng glanced at her before turning his head to look towards the street where Bai Yanliang was located.

"Phew..."

Feng Xiuxue exhaled lightly, forcibly suppressing the unease and fear within her; she dared not to think further.

The ghost... clearly saw her, and also saw Gu Pingsheng. Why... were the two of them alright?

Maybe... it’s not that they’re alright...

The moment this thought emerged, Feng Xiuxue dismissed it.

She peeked out her head, and like Gu Pingsheng, cautiously peered towards the street where Bai Yanliang was.

At that moment, the blood seeping through the gauze on her knee began to spread quietly...
