Frightening Joke: Above the Mist-Chapter 357: Getting Close

"The third possibility."

Bai Yanliang looked at Yu Wenxuan and slowly spoke.

His voice showed some subtle changes, although it was only a slight difference, it was completely noticeable that this was not Bai Yanliang!

"Someone told me about everything you encountered."

By now, how could Yu Wenxuan not understand what was happening before him?

"Are you... Dark Abyss?"

"No."

The calm voice of Gu Pingsheng resounded over Yu Wenxuan’s head.

"You..."

Yu Wenxuan just turned his head, but suddenly his vision went black.

"Bang—"

"Bai Yanliang" chopped at his neck with a hand, instantly knocking him out.

"You...," Yu Sheng looked at the changes before her in shock, leaning against a tree trunk, her body trembling uncontrollably.

"Miss Yu, go."

Gu Pingsheng looked down at Yu Sheng.

And as she gazed into his pupils, Yu Sheng felt a whirl and swirl, gradually... losing consciousness.

...

Ghost!

Yu Sheng awoke with a start, suddenly thinking of the fierce blood-red ghost approaching on the street!

"Yu Sheng, it’s up to you."

Bai Yanliang’s gentle voice echoed in her ear.

Yu Sheng turned back and saw Gu Pingsheng, Feng Xiuxue, Bai Yanliang, and... Yu Wenxuan, leaning against a tree, asleep.

"I... what happened to Mr. Yu?"

Yu Sheng had a sharp pain in her head, as if... she had forgotten something.

"There’s no time, Yu Sheng, that ghost is already near, we’ll talk about this after we are safe."

Bai Yanliang’s voice carried a sense of urgency, but it also reminded her of the situation.

Indeed... that ghost was approaching, and the sky was brightening.

If they couldn’t find "it," they would all be doomed...

Yu Sheng took a deep breath, adjusting her mind, and nodded at the three.

"Alright, let’s begin."

Gu Pingsheng and Feng Xiuxue led Yu Sheng towards the direction from which the ghost was coming.

Meanwhile, Bai Yanliang turned his gaze to the street.

The moment the blood-red figure came into view, the fierce ghost suddenly fixed its attention in one direction, heading straight for Bai Yanliang.

"It noticed."

Feng Xiuxue, leading Yu Sheng, had already circled behind it.

With her eyes closed, Yu Sheng’s fear magnified immensely as soon as she shut them.

Thankfully, the road was wide and flat, and the faint breathing sounds of Feng Xiuxue and Gu Pingsheng offered her some security.

Yu Sheng continually encouraged herself, repeatedly praying she could succeed.

Even though praying might not help, it at least provided psychological comfort.

"Go..."

Feng Xiuxue gently released her hand.

"Stay straight, it’s right in front of you."

Gu Pingsheng’s calm voice was undoubtedly a stimulant at this moment.

Yu Sheng exhaled deeply, trying to clear her mind of distractions.

This time... was a good opportunity to earn everyone’s trust.

Yu Sheng cheered herself on.

Before she even realized it, the companions of Fog Gathering were already down to a number that could be counted on two hands.

She didn’t want to see anyone else die in the past...

"Whew..."

Yu Sheng took the first step.

As soon as she stepped forward, she broke out in goosebumps!

She couldn’t take another step, coming to a complete halt!

Fear enclosed her like a deep abyss, sending chills through every pore and a strong sense of suffocation overwhelmed her.

Even more terrifying was...

Breathing...

She seemed to hear breathing again.

And this time, the breathing was not from Gu Pingsheng and Feng Xiuxue...

Something was panting heavily right in front of her!

Ghost...

It must be the ghost!

Why, the moment she stepped onto the path it had tread, such a significant abnormality occurred?

Was it because they guessed right? Or guessed wrong...

The chilling breathing in front of her continuously pierced into Yu Sheng’s ears, her legs trembling uncontrollably.

Her rational mind told her...

Run, run away quickly!

But... her feet wouldn’t move at all, as if an invisible force was stopping her.

"Did you hypnotize her?"

Feng Yiru looked at the trembling Yu Sheng and asked the man beside her.

"I don’t like surprises."

Gu Pingsheng calmly looked at Yu Sheng, "I merely informed her body not to open her eyes, not to retreat."

Feng Yiru was silent for a moment and said, "Ten years ago, we chose different paths, and now you... are becoming more like them."

"No," Gu Pingsheng still didn’t turn his head, his gaze settled on Yu Sheng, seemingly in a daze, "I’ve never changed..."

"Then who is he?"

Feng Yiru looked toward the front, where the ghost, Bai Yanliang, was being attracted, and asked.

"A collaboration."

Gu Pingsheng finally turned his head and looked at Feng Yiru.

"Miss Feng, do your own thing, but whatever you do, do not... block my path."

Feng Yiru silently withdrew her gaze.

Block the path?

Who could be more remarkable than the path left by that person...

"Huff... huff..."

Large beads of sweat formed on Yu Sheng’s forehead, and several times she wanted to turn back, but she forcibly held herself in check.

Cannot fail... if she fails, then everyone is finished.

This was different from Gu Pingsheng’s guess, although he left a mark to prevent Yu Sheng from opening her eyes or retreating.

But he didn’t know that Yu Sheng never intended to back down from the start.

She stepped forward with the determination to die...

Open your eyes...

Take a look...

Open your eyes...

Look ahead just once...

Like a devil’s whisper, this voice kept surfacing in Yu Sheng’s mind.

Open your eyes and see...

See what it is...

Sweat continued to surface on her forehead as Yu Sheng tightly pinched her thighs, taking difficult steps forward.

Her heart pounded violently with each step closer.

Just moving forward normally, but she felt as though all her strength was nearly drained.

Even more frightening was the voice in her head that continually tempted her.

I must not... open my eyes!

Yu Sheng pushed herself to take another step forward.

She could feel her body growing colder, the air around her becoming denser.

It was as if... intending to solidify her where she stood.

Open your eyes!

Just take a glance!

The eerie voice in her head clamored relentlessly against Yu Sheng’s will, feeling as though a pair of hands were prying hard at her eyelids.

Can’t open them...

No matter how terrifying the thing in front might be, don’t open them!

Yu Sheng’s teeth had already pierced her lips, the bite so forceful it drew blood.

She moved closer.

A rotting, ancient, eerie aura appeared right before her.

"Huff... huff... huff..."

Yu Sheng’s breaths could no longer be controlled, both soul and body trembling.

This was definitely... the closest she’s ever been to a ghost!

At this moment, Gu Pingsheng, Feng Yiru, and "Bai Yanliang" all had their eyes on her.

It’s now or never for life or death.
