Frightening Joke: Above the Mist-Chapter 339 Abnormality

She didn’t dare to gamble.

Nor could she.

Even if the ghost is blind, it must have other ways to track the living.

The reason it remained still could just be that it glanced casually at the bushes; what she thought was its gaze might only be her imagination.

If she really moved with the thought that it couldn’t see her and hurried to leave, she would be done for.

Feng Xiuxue understood this clearly.

So, even though she was terribly frightened, she chose not to move.

If the ghost didn’t move, neither would she.

Like this, a few more breaths passed.

The ghost moved.

It turned around, its eerie and terrifying silhouette walking towards West Fan Street.

Feng Xiuxue still didn’t move.

At least... until it’s completely out of sight, only then would she move.

Patience and waiting finally paid off.

It vanished at the street corner.

Narrowly escaping death, Feng Xiuxue let out a big breath only to realize that in just that short moment, her clothes were soaked with sweat.

She couldn’t imagine what it would be like to fall into that ghost hand.

However...

Now that she was safe, a thought suddenly emerged in her mind.

Now... that ghost went towards West Fan Street.

And West Fan Street is where Gu Pingsheng is.

Should she... go "witness" it?

Feng Xiuxue’s expression was uncertain.

This mission required someone to die.

Because the murderer had appeared, but the victim had not.

They were the victims.

Only if one of the five of them was killed by the ghost, and the whole process was witnessed, could it be considered "abiding" by the rules.

Feng Xiuxue asked herself and believed she understood this game.

To all survive, one person must die.

Yet, no one wants to die.

The result of everyone trying to save themselves is that until dawn, they cannot "find" the murderer.

Wait!

Feng Xiuxue suddenly thought, maybe that’s why the ghost seemed so "clumsy"?

As long as everyone stays alive, when dawn comes, everyone will die!

Feng Xiuxue’s eyes changed.

The true purpose of this mission is to make them kill each other, at least... to kill one.

Feng Xiuxue looked down at her phone, knowing that the fierce ghost was now heading towards Gu Pingsheng, and for convenient communication, everyone had left their phones on, just on silent mode.

She didn’t need to act personally, just... in such a situation she encountered earlier, call Gu Pingsheng.

That slight brightness should be enough to attract the ghost’s attention, right?

But... the premise is, she must follow up promptly and witness it.

...

The ghost appeared.

Gu Pingsheng noticed it the moment the fierce ghost appeared.

Where was the victim?

Gu Pingsheng stared at the fierce ghost, taking a glance around it, and immediately felt a chill in his heart.

Something was wrong.

He quickly made a deduction similar to Feng Xiuxue’s.

No victim appeared, which meant they were the victims.

If they wanted to survive, one of them had to die.

If no one was killed by the ghost, they couldn’t witness the crime scene, which equals... breaking the game’s rules.

Almost instinctively, Gu Pingsheng turned his phone face down onto the ground.

The ghost had come from the street where Feng Xiuxue was.

But... he hadn’t received any news from Feng Xiuxue immediately.

The implication of this was very intriguing.

He and Feng Xiuxue had no particular relationship, but neither had there been any conflict.

In fact, it could be said that Feng Xiuxue’s relationship with everyone was about the same.

Socially experienced Gu Pingsheng knew what that meant, so he didn’t trust Feng Xiuxue at all.

He was almost sure Feng Xiuxue would call, then expose his location when the fierce ghost approached.

Perhaps now, she was secretly hiding somewhere, watching everything unfold.

However, if so, doesn’t it mean this ghost’s senses are extremely dull? Yet from afar, Gu Pingsheng could confirm he had never seen a ghost exuding such a terrifying aura.

Its threatening presence was countless times more frightening than the abilities it was exhibiting!

What on earth was going on?

Gu Pingsheng swiftly ducked and hid behind a street sign.

Now he didn’t dare move recklessly, even if this ghost seemed so slow, he didn’t dare make a move.

Sometime later, the moon came out.

Under the pale moonlight, West Fan Street was as silent as a graveyard.

A ghost drenched in blood-red advanced on tiptoe under the moonlight.

Its voice wasn’t loud, but it pierced the ears clearly.

This was also very strange.

Just as anticipated...

Gu Pingsheng pondered.

The various leniencies of this ghost were expressing one thing: it wanted them alive.

And, there was only one purpose for that – after dawn, let them all die!

The fierce ghost was closing in, and Gu Pingsheng could already smell the stench of rot and blood on it.

Even knowing this ghost might be acting leniently, not wanting to kill them right now, Gu Pingsheng still felt some relief.

However... when he noticed the ground beside him, he couldn’t help but feel a chill run down his spine.

The moon had come out...

The shadow of Gu Pingsheng hiding behind the street sign was stretching longer and longer until... it extended to the ground beside him.

This... wouldn’t it immediately expose him if the ghost saw?

Gu Pingsheng’s heart rate increasingly quickened, sweat uncontrollably trickling from his forehead.

Then, something even scarier happened.

On the ground, the shadow of the street sign and Gu Pingsheng’s shadow were pressed together.

If not looked at carefully, it was still not too easy to notice. free𝑤ebnovel.com

After all, the moonlight wasn’t that bright.

But... what stopped Gu Pingsheng’s heart in an instant was.

Next to the shadows of him and the street sign on the ground, another long narrow shadow suddenly appeared!

It stopped, standing beside the street sign!

"Hiss—"

Gu Pingsheng faintly heard a strange sound of air rushing past.

It was right behind him!

With his back against the street sign, Gu Pingsheng didn’t dare look back because he knew, on the other side of the sign was the ghost!

With just a side glance, he could see that terrifying shadow was very close to him!

Stay calm...

Stay calm...

Even though it’s behind me, it hasn’t made a move...

Gu Pingsheng repeatedly assured himself; he was a surgeon, his mental fortitude was exceptional to begin with.

Yet... the horror of this moment still exceeded his expectations.

He even heard the breathing over his head...

Behind a roadside tree, Feng Xiuxue witnessed everything in its entirety.

She was utterly shocked and now she was firmly convinced that the ghost had definitely noticed her earlier!

It wasn’t looking at the bushes, it had locked eyes with her!

Because... at this moment, she could clearly see the ghost standing right behind Gu Pingsheng! Staring down at him!

Why wasn’t it making a move?

Why wasn’t it killing him?

Could it really be that it’s waiting for dawn to kill them all at once?

With its displayed terrifying presence, even if it killed forcibly, it could definitely wipe all five of them out swiftly.

But why?

Why does it just watch and not attack?
