Frightening Joke: Above the Mist-Chapter 338: Revised - Appear

Yu Sheng wasn’t foolish; she could see the distrust everyone had towards her, otherwise, they wouldn’t have left her on Qingyi Street.

On the surface, as Feng Xiuxue said, Qingyi Street was indeed the street where fierce ghosts were most likely to appear.

But... Qingyi Street had another characteristic; its ends connected to South Gate Street and Beitu Street, respectively. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

So, as long as one stood at the end of South Gate Street, or the beginning of Beitu Street, they could observe the situations on both streets simultaneously.

The same logic applied to East Government Street and West Fan Street.

By standing directly at the end of East Government Street, or the beginning of West Fan Street, one could oversee all of South Gate Street’s circumstances.

It wasn’t just her who wasn’t trusted; Bai Yanliang wasn’t either.

Though Feng Xiuxue and the others didn’t discuss it, once she spoke, the other two immediately understood her intention.

And so, Gu Pingsheng and Yu Wenxuan quickly chose West Fan Street and East Government Street.

The remaining South Gate Street and Qingyi Street—no matter which one she and Bai Yanliang chose, they would be under surveillance.

She understood this much, and she believed Bai Yanliang had seen through it earlier.

But he said nothing; he just made his own choice.

Yu Sheng felt a bit uneasy; five people, five streets... It all seemed too coincidental.

However, since it had already begun, let this game continue...

...

As Yu Sheng had guessed, Yu Wenxuan stopped at the corner at the end of East Government Street, watching the movements on East Government Street while also keeping an eye on Bai Yanliang on South Gate Street.

Bai Yanliang had problems.

Yu Wenxuan still adhered to his first impression.

He had a night talk with Bai Yanliang once, and to him, Bai Yanliang was more interesting than the others; he didn’t mind playing with him. But if it harmed his interests, Yu Wenxuan would not show mercy.

He found a hidden corner, tucked himself into the darkness.

On South Gate Street, he could already see Bai Yanliang’s silhouette.

On the surface, Bai Yanliang appeared normal. After reaching South Gate Street, he looked around and hid in a central spot.

Alright, he passed the first round.

Yet, Yu Wenxuan still found Bai Yanliang suspicious. He couldn’t provide a reason; if forced to say anything, it could only be explained by instinct.

His subconscious was telling him that was not Bai Yanliang.

I will keep a close eye on you...

Yu Wenxuan squinted his eyes, holding his breath.

...

It was too quiet...

Feng Xiuxue watched both Qingyi Street and Beitu Street.

This street was desolate enough to send chills down her spine.

She didn’t know if it was 2017 or 2018; nearby, there were still some old structures being demolished.

The demolition on Qingyi Street had been progressing poorly, evident from the fact that Bai Yanliang could still rent an old house there even in 2019.

Such places weren’t visited by anyone during the day, except for demolition workers.

There was no sign of human life nearby; just standing on these deserted streets at night was eerie enough.

At some unknown time, a gust of wind suddenly blew through the street.

The grass and leaves rustled, and some dust was swirling in the air.

Amidst the wind, Feng Xiuxue faintly heard footsteps...

She immediately held her breath, hid herself, and looked in the direction of the wind.

The direction of the wind was West Fan Street.

It was...

Feng Xiuxue immediately covered her mouth.

It appeared!

It was not human, but a ghost!

Her hands trembled slightly, and her heartbeat gradually accelerated.

It was completely different from their guesses!

The victim hadn’t appeared; only the murderer, the ghost, showed itself!

It wore blood-red clothing, its hair long and disheveled, obscuring its face.

Standing at average height, its exposed arm was crimson—it didn’t have any skin!

It was walking on tiptoe, its heels not touching the ground, more like floating, scraping forward on the street.

Feng Xiuxue didn’t see its face, and it didn’t turn around.

Unexpectedly appearing at the end of Beitu Street, it immediately walked towards West Fan Street.

Just one look at it made the former victor’s breathing nearly halt.

That entirely blood-red ghost, the malice it emitted made it the most terrifying fierce ghost she had ever encountered!

Long lost fear gripped Feng Xiuxue, and she took out her phone, unable to control even the trembling of her fingers.

That ghost was too terrifying, too horrendous.

She had to inform Gu Pingsheng immediately; that ghost... was heading towards West Fan Street.

But just as she reached for her phone to notify everyone, another terrifying shadow appeared at the corner...

Feng Xiuxue turned off her phone, holding her mouth shut tightly!

That blood-red ghost had turned back!

Was it coming...?

Was it heading towards her?

Feng Xiuxue hid among the leaves, her eyes widening instinctively.

She already realized the horror and the solution of this task.

But... it couldn’t be done!

Because the murderer was right in front of them, but the victims... were the five of them!

As long as one of them was killed by the ghost, the "witness" would be completed!

The murderer should logically be "found."

But the question is... who would be the one to be killed by the ghost?

Who would willingly do it?

At the very least... Feng Xiuxue herself would absolutely refuse.

Having survived the last time in the otherworldly space, she felt she had used up all her luck, but... the existence of the key made her decide to take one more gamble!

People always die, whether killed by a ghost or by time, both frightened her.

She wanted... to live a long time.

In light of that goal, nothing else mattered!

But the problem was, what now?

Feng Xiuxue hid behind the grass, watching the seemingly not fast-moving fierce ghost through the spaces between leaves.

She knew that this slowness was only an appearance.

If it discovered her presence, Feng Xiuxue felt it could even reach her in an instant!

At all costs... she could not let it notice her.

Why did this become a game of hide and seek with the fierce ghost again?

This thought suddenly crossed Feng Xiuxue’s mind.

However, before she could dwell on it, a pair of blood-red pupils fixed their gaze on the grass!

Feng Xiuxue suddenly felt a chill all over; she saw it...

This time, she saw its face!

Its face... really had no skin.

Due to the lack of eyelids, its two blood-red eyes looked frightfully large, and the muscles and veins on its face were unusually prominent...

It’s over.

Feng Xiuxue’s mind went blank. The moment the ghost stared at her, she completely lost the ability to think.

A woman and a ghost, separated by a patch of grass.

Feng Xiuxue desperately realized she had no solution at this moment.

But eerily enough, the ghost only stared at the grass and didn’t approach.

Though... if it merely walked into the grass, it could easily find Feng Xiuxue hiding behind it.

Yet it didn’t do so.

After a moment of stalemate, Feng Xiuxue finally regained some composure.

Even though a fierce ghost stood on the opposite side of the grass, she was still somewhat brave.

Its prolonged standing without any action gave Feng Xiuxue a bold idea.

This ghost... might not have actually seen her, right?
