Frightening Joke: Above the Mist-Chapter 306: Violation

At this moment, Ye City.

As soon as Du Shangjing got off the plane, he immediately took out his phone and called Bai Yanliang.

"Sorry, the number you have dialed is not in the service area..."

Hmm?

Du Shangjing frowned slightly, feeling an inexplicable strangeness.

But the bustling airport gave him a great sense of security, and this strangeness was soon suppressed.

Next, he dialed Song Que’s phone.

"Sorry, the number you have dialed is not in the service area..."

The response was exactly the same.

Something happened... Bai Yanliang and the others must have encountered trouble.

Du Shangjing continued to try calling Qi Nian and Xu Zhifei, but they were still unreachable.

Not in the service area?

You must know that Ye City has achieved full signal coverage, not only the main city but the surrounding districts, counties, towns, and villages are all covered, so there shouldn’t be any situation of being out of service.

At this moment, Du Shangjing’s phone suddenly rang.

He thought it was Bai Yanliang and the others calling back, but upon closer inspection, it was an unfamiliar number.

After a moment’s thought, he pressed the answer button, "Hello?"

"Where are you?"

The voice from the receiver made Du Shangjing’s scalp inexplicably tingle.

It was a very neutral voice, hard to tell if it was male or female, although the pronunciation was clear and standard, it sounded chillingly cold, overall... this voice made Du Shangjing feel extremely uncomfortable.

He frowned and asked, "Who are you? What do you want from me?"

"Where are you?"

The other party didn’t respond to Du Shangjing’s question at all and continued asking.

"What do you mean? If you don’t say who you are, I’ll hang up!" Du Shangjing inexplicably felt a dry throat, loosened his collar, half confused and half irritated, with a hint of... vague unease.

"Found you."

The third voice appeared, the other party finally stopped asking where you are out of nowhere.

But these four words sent a chill down Du Shangjing’s spine.

"Beep...beep...beep..."

The phone was hung up.

Du Shangjing stood in place, his heart began to beat at an unnaturally rapid pace.

Who could it be?

A prank?

Du Shangjing immediately turned on his phone, ready to redial that strange call.

However, when he looked at the call log, he couldn’t help but feel a chill from the bottom of his heart.

The last call on the screen... was made by him to Xu Zhifei and it did not connect.

There was no incoming call just now!

Calm... calm...

Du Shangjing gasped for air, the brightly lit airport and the endless flow of people gave him some confidence.

He again turned on the phone and called Gu Pingsheng.

This time, the call went through.

"Hello? Is this Doctor Gu?"

"Yes, Mr. Du."

"Hmm, I wanted to ask, Bai Yanliang and Song Que... they left in the afternoon, right?"

"Yes." fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

"Then... did they call you after arriving at Sanbai Town?"

"No, what’s wrong? Did Mr. Du receive their call?"

"I... it’s nothing." Du Shangjing’s heart trembled and he quickly hung up the phone, "Thank you."

Sigh...

Du Shangjing’s breathing became increasingly heavy.

The task has started... Bai Yanliang and the others can no longer communicate externally, they are already in the task.

Which means... he’s late.

Du Shangjing crouched half on the ground, his remaining left hand clutching his hair.

Damn it...

Why is this happening?

Why did the task time advance by a day?

Was the call just now... a ghost?

Because I failed to follow the rules and didn’t carry out the task, now that ghost has come to find me...

No...

Having just barely survived, I cannot die!

A strong survival instinct urged Du Shangjing to muster extreme courage.

This is an airport, even if it’s a ghost, it shouldn’t appear in such a densely populated place, right?

However... at this moment, a pair of hands quietly placed on his shoulders.

"Who!" Du Shangjing was instantly scared out of his wits, jumping up from his crouched position.

"Don’t... don’t be nervous, sir." The male airport attendant was also taken aback, "May I... help you?"

His gaze fell on Du Shangjing’s empty right sleeve.

The attendant’s pat almost scared Du Shangjing’s heart out.

He shook his head and refused, "No, I’m fine."

The attendant politely smiled and left.

But after taking two steps, he suddenly turned around and said, "Found you..."

The neutral voice sent goosebumps all over Du Shangjing!

He looked up sharply, but all he saw was the attendant’s departing back.

A powerful fear engulfed him, swallowing him whole.

Du Shangjing felt like he could barely breathe.

No... I must leave here, even in a densely populated airport, it can’t stop the ghost from finding me.

I must run... must hide!

Frightened by the attendant’s terrifying voice, Du Shangjing immediately fled the airport hall.

But standing on the darkened square, Du Shangjing regretted it again.

In such a deep night... every corner seemed to hold the shadow of a ghost.

He had no idea where he should go.

Temple? Church? Police station?

In the past, when performing tasks in the other world, someone had encountered similar situations.

They thought that since ghosts appeared, then gods should also exist.

So, while being chased by fierce ghosts, they fled into churches, Buddhist halls, and temples.

However... they only used their lives to verify one rule.

Whether in a church, Buddhist hall, or temple, no matter where you hide, the ghost can find you, can enter...

Not only that, any Peach Wood Sword, talisman, garlic, Cross, Buddha Beads, Divine Water... no sacred object could stop the fierce ghost’s slaughter!

In the end...

This world changed on the day he encountered the Wuji Curse.

There are only ghosts, no gods or Buddhas.

The only thing that could save my life is the rules.

But this time the appearance of the fierce ghost was because I violated the rules first.

It will find me...

This thought, once appeared, could not be shaken off.

Du Shangjing kept taking deep breaths.

This time, he noticed something strange.

Why... is the airport so quiet?

Although it’s already dark, wasn’t the airport hall full of people just now?

Du Shangjing did something he deeply regretted.

He slowly turned around and took a glance at the airport hall.

People!

All the people!!!

All of them stopped moving, eerily staring at him!

They were expressionless, with vacant eyes, the atmosphere was eerie and terrifying to the extreme!

A chilling fear crawled up from Du Shangjing’s heels to his back, reaching the top of his head, and being watched by hundreds of strange gazes, Du Shangjing’s fear reached its peak.

Run!

Though having no destination, though not knowing where to hide, this eerie and terrifying scene made Du Shangjing’s body react on its own.

Leave the airport immediately!
