Frightening Joke: Above the Mist-Chapter 331: Conversation

"Who exactly is Liu Ruonan?"

Song Que was somewhat obsessed with this question.

He couldn’t understand why, at the last moment, the figure of Liu Ruonan appeared? And she was already in the state of a ghost.

Song Que’s question also reminded Bai Yanliang.

In an instant, many thoughts crossed his mind.

"Remember the script?" Bai Yanliang said, "She was in the first act, and also in the second act. This doesn’t mean she is the protagonist, but rather that she exists both in the past world and, like us, in the real world."

"I checked the specifics of the villa case. In the end, five bodies were found: Zhan Yunhong, Lin Dayou, Liu Rui, Liu Ruonan, and Ouyang Kang. Liu Ruonan originally belonged to the past world, yet she carries real-world characteristics. I think... what differentiates her from us is that while we were sent entirely into the past world, she was just a single soul."

Song Que was a bit incredulous: "Do you mean that someone’s soul went back to the past and possessed Liu Ruonan’s body? The reason Liu Ruonan appears in both the first and second act is that her body naturally exists in the past world, but the soul belongs to the real world?"

"Yes," Bai Yanliang nodded, "because it’s the soul that returned to the past world, she seems unfazed in the face of the fierce ghost that destroys bodies. As long as the ghost can’t strip her soul, she is absolutely safe. I even suspect that she can willingly leave the possessed body and return to the real world immediately."

Song Que pondered for a moment, then looked up at Bai Yanliang: "What you’re saying is too unbelievable. Are you suggesting there’s a space more advanced and safer than ’Fog Gathering’?"

"Not suggesting," Bai Yanliang looked at Song Que, "but certain."

"There must be a more peculiar advanced space than Fog Gathering. What I mentioned before, the Dark Abyss, its members might come from that space. They have many strange methods to evade danger and can even control some inhuman powers after paying the price."

Song Que’s eyes grew brighter the more he listened, and after Bai Yanliang finished speaking, he looked seriously at Bai Yanliang, saying, "If you plan to confront the Dark Abyss, you must inform me."

Bai Yanliang smiled: "Sure."

Song Que didn’t say much more and prepared to go back home and rest for a couple of days.

After Bai Yanliang mentioned those two things, everyone decided unanimously to resolve the Fog Gathering task "Witness" first and then investigate the Dark Abyss affair in detail.

The traps in Shangyuan Village, Zhongyuan Village, and Lower Yuan Village have caused many deaths.

Du Shangjing’s death can also be attributed to them, after all, if he hadn’t been injured and hospitalized, he wouldn’t have had to set out from Ping City and miss the task time.

Although the methods of the Dark Abyss members are bizarre and terrifying, the few remaining in Wuji, except for Yu Sheng, are not exactly saints.

The outcome is still uncertain.

Just when Song Que turned to leave, he suddenly hesitated.

Bai Yanliang asked, "Anything else?"

Song Que shook his head, then rubbed his eyes and pointed to Bai Yanliang’s stomach.

"Do you... feel any discomfort?"

"Discomfort?" Bai Yanliang touched his stomach, "No."

Song Que grew more puzzled at this, looking around at the occasional passersby, murmuring, "No mistakes..."

His attitude made Bai Yanliang a bit nervous.

"What’s wrong?"

Song Que hesitated for a while, looking into Bai Yanliang’s eyes seriously, he said: "Don’t be nervous, if it’s not right... go to the hospital for a check-up."

"What exactly is wrong?" Bai Yanliang touched his stomach again, swearing he felt nothing out of the ordinary.

"You..." Song Que gritted his teeth, "it seems like you’re pregnant!"

"What?"

Before Bai Yanliang could speak, a tense female voice rang out from not far away.

Xu Zhifei rarely had such an expressive look on her face. She hurried over, staring at Song Que, asking: "Pregnant?"

Song Que rubbed his eyes again, stared at Bai Yanliang’s abdomen, and nodded, "Yes, there’s definitely a child in your body!"

"I was born with an unusual eyesight, able to see things invisible to the naked eye, like... there will be a transparent silhouette outside the body of the living. Now I can see a very small humanoid silhouette in your stomach..."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yanliang and Xu Zhifei exchanged a glance, both having some understanding in their minds.

Xu Zhifei inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.

Bai Yanliang also waved his hand: "No problem, I got it."

Song Que looked at them suspiciously, hesitated, and said: "Then... I’m off, be careful."

Careful?

Bai Yanliang was a bit confused.

What’s there to be cautious about? What Song Que saw was likely the five-year-old.

It was Xu Zhifei whose expression suddenly became unnatural.

It was then that Bai Yanliang heard a familiar sound!

"Meow—"

He suddenly turned his head as a black figure leaped towards him.

Bai Yanliang quickly reached out and caught it with his arms.

"Meow—Meow—" The little black cat Allen Allan Poe kept rubbing its little head against Bai Yanliang’s chest, meowing incessantly.

"Okay, okay... All right, Allen Allan Poe, it’s okay..." Bai Yanliang gently held it, not minding the little paw prints it left on his clothes.

Meanwhile, Bai Yanliang looked around.

Now that Allen Allan Poe is here, it means... Xun Weimo must also be nearby.

After handing the key to Xun Weimo, his quiet bar was immediately attacked, the entire two-story building vanished, and neither the surrounding residents nor the media in Ye City paid any attention to the bizarre incident, as if... there had never been a bar there in the first place.

This method of erasing the existence of something from cognition was remarkably similar to the eerie powers of Fog Gathering.

All those strange events in the past world couldn’t be traced in the real world, as if they never happened.

Why would Fog Gathering go through such a laborious process? If its goal was to wipe out humans with ghosts, why not let supernatural events expand and cause global chaos instead of wiping traces of paranormal events from the real world, like cleaning up?

Secrets will eventually be unveiled, but the matter of Mercury Night was obviously the work of Dark Abyss.

Xun Weimo didn’t disappoint him; he and Allen Allan Poe managed to escape, turning from light to dark, which was a good thing.

The actions of the Dark Abyss are becoming increasingly crazed and bold.

The more it acts this way, the more information it reveals.

Bai Yanliang clearly felt that the Dark Abyss could hardly wait, anxiously wanting to accomplish something.

After scanning the surroundings, Bai Yanliang couldn’t spot Xun Weimo, but, as Allen Allan Poe lifted its head, he noticed the little guy’s neck was adorned with a bell, and inside the bell, was a rolled-up note.
