Frightening Joke: Above the Mist-Chapter 345: Clues

Zhang Yun almost bolted to the next floor with a reckless speed, then suddenly crashed into a classroom.

The terrifying baby from earlier had frightened her to the core, so much so that she couldn’t even hear Bai Yanliang’s calls now.

"Zhang Yun? Zhang Yun!" Bai Yanliang continuously called to her, "Leave this classroom! Get out of this classroom now!"

Although Bai Yanliang was trying his best to call her, Zhang Yun was truly scared out of her wits earlier and hadn’t snapped out of it yet.

Oh no...

Because Zhang Yun didn’t look up, Bai Yanliang couldn’t observe the specifics of the classroom either.

But he could already feel it... that distinct, chilly coldness.

This classroom also had a ghost.

...

Qingyi Street.

Gu Pingsheng and Feng Xiuxue passed through South Gate Street, reaching the corner at the end.

The two of them walked the entire street without seeing Bai Yanliang come to meet them.

Even... when Gu Pingsheng called Bai Yanliang, the call couldn’t connect.

"Could it be that Mr. Bai isn’t on this street?" Gu Pingsheng lowered his phone, whispering in confusion.

"Possible." Feng Xiuxue also glanced back at South Gate Street, the ghost hadn’t stopped its steps at all earlier, perhaps Bai Yanliang hid too well and it couldn’t find him, or... Bai Yanliang wasn’t on this street at all, and it couldn’t find him.

"This corner leads to two roads, one to East Government Street and one to Qingyi Street." Feng Xiuxue looked at each, frowning deeply.

The painkillers Gu Pingsheng gave her were starting to take effect, gradually she couldn’t feel any pain in her legs, but at the same time, a slight strangeness appeared within her body.

"We..." Feng Xiuxue swayed slightly, then shook her head to remain clear-headed, "One of us takes one street... these two streets are quite long, we can’t see the ghost’s silhouette now, let’s split up and find... then contact each other by phone once found."

"Let’s stick together," Gu Pingsheng stared at Feng Xiuxue, "You’re not in good shape, if something happens, I can be of help."

At his words, Feng Xiuxue looked up at him, and upon seeing Gu Pingsheng’s pupils under the dim light, a whiteness flashed before her eyes, causing a wave of dizziness in her brain.

"Alright..."

When she came back to her senses, she found herself agreeing with Gu Pingsheng’s suggestion.

"Hmm, then let’s head to East Government Street first, and finally to Qingyi Street together." freewebnøvel_com

Feng Xiuxue didn’t say anything, nodded, and then quickly walked towards East Government Street.

The ghost’s silhouette was no longer visible. If it attacked a human in such circumstances, leading to a fatality, it would be disastrous.

...

Was it a person or a ghost?

A blood-red figure appeared on East Government Street and was immediately spotted by Yu Wenxuan.

As it moved into a stretch with street lights, Yu Wenxuan instantly held his breath.

It’s a ghost!

He licked his lips, the nervousness and fear in his heart giving rise to a restless excitement, Yu Wenxuan believed that he must be hiding in a very concealed spot.

But strangely, where is everyone?

Where are the victims?

After noticing this abnormality, Yu Wenxuan rapidly churned over his thoughts.

Moments later, he came to a conclusion.

Apparently, the five of us are the victims.

His face showed no fear, neither did his body hide away, and he boldly stared at the ghost.

And the ghost, entirely blood-red, was slowly advancing toward him.

This speed made Yu Wenxuan frown.

Too slow.

If this is the ghost, then what danger does this mission present?

Something is off...

Yu Wenxuan rubbed his chin, a thought flashed through his mind.

Could it be... it’s not a ghost?

Yu Wenxuan scrutinized the ghost’s every move, walking on tiptoes, entirely blood red, lacking skin, with long hair, tall and thin, appearing... like a female.

Could she be the victim?

Due to being unbound by conventional logic, Yu Wenxuan’s thoughts were always somewhat whimsical, and his perspective rather peculiar.

At least to him, the "human-shaped object" calmly moving under the night lamplight did not exhibit any abnormal superpowers.

Yu Wenxuan didn’t genuinely think of her as a ghost just because she was crimson all over, exuding a terrifying aura.

What if... she’s still alive?

What if she’s just a human stripped of her skin by a ghost, and somehow made to walk on tiptoe all the time?

But assuming she is human, then what’s the ghost’s purpose in doing this?

Yu Wenxuan watched her from above and sorted out his thoughts.

Wait!

"Sightings"!

Yu Wenxuan suddenly thought of the mission’s name.

Could it be that it’s not only them who need to be sighted, but also the fierce ghost?

Could this ghost be unable to detect their location through any supernatural means, not even able to reveal its true form?

So it needs to use a fake "ghost" to lure them into sight, only able to act once it lays "eyes" on them?

Yes!

Yu Wenxuan’s gaze sharpened, exactly!

The moment this entirely blood-red entity showed up, he heard its footsteps.

What does this mean?

A warning?

A ghost wouldn’t be so kind-hearted.

Thinking from another angle, the ghost’s intention became quite obvious.

Lure!

The reason it’s resorting to this is its fear of them hiding in the dark and not coming out!

Consequently... following this terrifying blood-red entity might play right into the ghost hiding in the shadows’ hands.

Yu Wenxuan glanced at the unresponsive phone, a hint of mockery showed at the corners of his mouth.

He quickly understood the little thoughts of the others.

He could only wish them the best of luck.

Let’s hope... that they won’t keep following this "ghost" all the way, because the real ghost, is following them from behind...

...

In East Government Street.

Feng Xiuxue and Gu Pingsheng, who had rushed over in pursuit of the fierce ghost’s silhouette, finally captured sight of it.

"I don’t quite get it," Feng Xiuxue whispered, "Why... does it move so slowly? Moreover, it doesn’t seem like it’s looking for anyone, but rather going through all the streets as if... deliberately wanting us to find it."

"Hmm," Gu Pingsheng nodded, his face carrying a bit of doubt, "It has already spotted us but doesn’t act, that’s the biggest oddity."

"The mission description asks us to find the culprit, not something hidden, why use the word ’find’?" Feng Xiuxue glanced at the fiercely malicious blood-red ghost ahead, "It walks in the open on the street, I think..."

Just as Feng Xiuxue spoke here, she accidentally saw Gu Pingsheng’s face.

Her pupils shrank, stepping back slightly, she said, "Doctor Gu, your face..."

Gu Pingsheng was first taken aback, then touched his face, the intense pain instantly causing him to grit his teeth until they rattled.

Gu Pingsheng picked up his phone to shine the screen on his face.

Upon seeing it, his whole body stiffened, understanding why Feng Xiuxue had such a big reaction.

A piece of skin had fallen from his face, hanging there... dripping with blood...
