Frightening Joke: Above the Mist-Chapter 118: Disguise

Second floor.

"Hi, hello."

Bai Yanliang chose the most old-fashioned opening line to greet the balding middle-aged man by the window.

He turned his head and glanced at Bai Yanliang, his eyes blank, without speaking.

A bit tricky...

Bai Yanliang never worried about people lying to him, but what he found most helpless was silence.

Unable to get any useful information from this "Doctor Zhao," Bai Yanliang began to look around.

The structure of the second floor was completely different from the third floor, which only had a long corridor with rooms on opposing sides.

However, the second floor had an additional lobby, with rooms not laid out oppositely, making it feel much more spacious.

Nurse Tang seemed to have fallen asleep.

Bai Yanliang was about to leave when his wrist was suddenly grabbed by a hand.

"Hehe..."

The balding middle-aged man giggled foolishly and pointed to a passage on the left side of the lobby.

Turning his head to look, Bai Yanliang was startled because he saw someone familiar.

Su Jieyi was standing in front of the stairs on the second floor.

She shouted excitedly, "Bai Yanliang!"

Oh no!

Bai Yanliang’s heart tightened.

In Su Jieyi’s perspective, he was actually Bai Yanliang?

That one instinctive shout caused a major mishap.

Nurse Tang, who was originally dozing off, stirred as if she was about to wake up, and the balding middle-aged man grasping Bai Yanliang’s hand had already turned his head.

There was no sound, but Su Jieyi could feel that countless eyes seemed to be staring at her, sending shivers down her spine.

"Creak—groan—"

With the ear-piercing sound of a door being pushed open, a masked middle-aged man in a white coat emerged from the room next door.

He slowly approached Su Jieyi and unfriendly asked, "Who are you? Who is Bai Yanliang?"

His sharp and unpleasant voice echoed in the empty lobby, making it frighteningly eerie.

With the sunlight behind him, standing in the shadow made it difficult for Su Jieyi to see his face clearly.

Su Jieyi strained her eyes wide open but felt them burn with a dull ache.

She instinctively didn’t want to speak again, but after waiting for a while, the two men beside her did not say anything.

At this moment, Su Jieyi suddenly realized that Du Shangjing and Qin Chuan had vanished!

Goosebumps crawled all over her body instantly.

The eerie scene unfolding was a warning... something ghostly was happening.

"Answer me! Who are you? Who is Bai Yanliang?" The middle-aged doctor’s expression began to turn strange, his tone cold enough to make Su Jieyi shiver.

Su Jieyi helplessly cast her gaze towards Bai Yanliang, but... as soon as she looked up, she saw Bai Yanliang staring at her with an eerily terrifying expression from the window.

Su Jieyi’s heart skipped a beat. It’s a ghost, he’s a ghost!

He’s not Bai Yanliang!

Su Jieyi didn’t dare say another word and was on the verge of breaking down when the middle-aged doctor suddenly barked loudly, "Answer me!"

Su Jieyi was startled by his sudden shout, and tears streamed out.

When the masked doctor suddenly widened his eyes, Su Jieyi was shocked to find his pupils had turned completely lifeless white!

Paired with his fierce expression, for a moment, Su Jieyi almost believed that what stood in front of her wasn’t a living person but a lifeless corpse.

"Who are you?"

At this, Bai Yanliang suddenly spoke.

All eyes turned towards him.

Su Jieyi, who was in despair, thought the ghost disguised as "Bai Yanliang" was going to kill her, but she was surprised to find that "Bai Yanliang" wasn’t questioning her but the masked doctor!

Bai Yanliang’s sudden interruption seemed to work, the middle-aged doctor turned around, swept his ghostly pale eyes towards him, then said expressionlessly to Bai Yanliang, "Yi Dongsheng."

Perhaps it was a trick of the light, but as the middle-aged doctor uttered this, Su Jieyi noticed a flash of confusion on his face.

"You’re a doctor?"

"Ah... Hu Chen, don’t you remember, this is Dr. Yi, one of the three doctors at our hospital." Nurse Tang awoke, yawned, and explained.

Bai Yanliang nodded, and curiously, after Dr. Yi mentioned his name, he seemed to recall something, took a deep look at Su Jieyi, and sternly warned, "Leave here."

After that, he returned to his room, slamming the door shut.

Su Jieyi’s legs trembled; she never expected that he would let her off so easily.

While Nurse Tang, she turned her head, her hollow face seemed to glance in Su Jieyi’s direction, then she lowered her head and continued resting.

It seemed that a crisis had passed safely?

Su Jieyi felt somewhat relieved, but the next moment, a man’s voice rang out.

"Come over."

Bai Yanliang looked at Su Jieyi with an expressionless face.

Su Jieyi shivered completely, terror surging in her heart.

The Bai Yanliang before her seemed like a ghost...

But she absolutely didn’t dare defy Bai Yanliang’s order, almost uncontrollably moving towards him.

Bai Yanliang turned his head, glanced at the balding man gripping his wrist.

The man released his grip, giggled foolishly again and pointed once more in the previous direction before blankly looking out the window.

The second floor lobby returned to silence.

But Su Jieyi didn’t feel the same way.

Under Bai Yanliang’s gaze, she felt that every step forward was a torment.

Bai Yanliang glanced at her and whispered, "Follow me."

Su Jieyi was taken aback, Bai Yanliang’s tone had changed... could he... really not be a fierce ghost?

However... whether he was or wasn’t, she had no other choice now.

Su Jieyi followed Bai Yanliang.

Bai Yanliang led the way, pondering what had just transpired.

Dr. Yi, the crazed Doctor Zhao, Nurse Tang...

Each of them had their own abnormalities.

The insane Doctor Zhao pointed towards a room in the passage.

What was in the room? Bai Yanliang decided to take a look.

He couldn’t confirm if it was safe inside, and it was very possible he might encounter a fierce ghost upon opening the door.

But... like Su Jieyi, he had no other choice.

In the Fog Gathering, there was no place that was one hundred percent safe; the so-called escape route was nothing but an almost imperceptible hidden path.

No one could guarantee they would find it, and neither could Bai Yanliang.

"Creak..."

With the door unlatched, Bai Yanliang gently turned the handle and pushed the door open.

As soon as the door opened, Bai Yanliang was hit by a faint stench as if... the room had seen an awful lot of blood before.

Su Jieyi hesitated at the door, not daring to enter, Bai Yanliang glanced at her, pulled her in, and closed the door behind them.

Su Jieyi stood there, stiff as a board, unsure if Bai Yanliang was a ghost or human.

But Bai Yanliang finally exhaled in relief, looked at Su Jieyi, and asked, "What about them? Why are you alone? What happened?"
