Frightening Joke: Above the Mist-Chapter 27: Bitter Poison

As soon as Bai Yanliang left the staff lounge, Wang Sheng opened a door and came out.

His eyes were sunken, and he seemed dispirited. After standing in the corridor for a long time, he finally knocked on the door next to him.

Footsteps came from inside the room, and a man opened the door and stared gloomily at Wang Sheng, saying, "What's the matter?"

It was Jiang Chaojie, and his displeasure was completely written on his face.

Wang Sheng shivered, not daring to meet Jiang Chaojie's eyes, and stammered, "Jiang... Brother Jiang, I... should we burn some paper money for the boss's wife?"

Jiang Chaojie's expression changed as he grabbed Wang Sheng by the collar and dragged him into his room.

"Listen carefully, it wasn't you who killed her! And it wasn't me! No matter if we saw it or not, she was already killed by him! Don't talk to me about guilt, and don't talk about seeing a ghost! If you go around shouting, I might let you go, but will he? Hmm?"

"But... but... I always feel like... there's someone watching me from the ceiling..."

As he said this, Wang Sheng instinctively looked up at the snow-white ceiling.

Jiang Chaojie's hand on Wang Sheng's collar froze. Although he didn't want to admit it, he too felt as if someone was watching him.

It was very abnormal and very frightening, like a pair of eyes always watching from some corner.

"Hoo..." Jiang Chaojie took a deep breath and let go of his grip.

He sat down on the bed somewhat dejectedly, grabbing his hair with both hands.

In recent days, his mental state had deteriorated, and he could tell that Wang Sheng was in a similar state.

One person might be a coincidence, but if two people are like this, something must be really wrong.

"No... it must be our imaginations. Even if she became a ghost and wanted revenge, her target wouldn't be us two; it should be her husband! That man! We just happened to see her being thrown into the water tank by Ding Lei..." Jiang Chaojie was braver than Wang Sheng, but now he too couldn't stop his heart from pounding.

He and Wang Sheng had accidentally seen Ding Lei carrying a ladder up to the rooftop, feeling very puzzled.

This boss was typically lazy and didn't involve himself in manual labor, usually asking him to do it, so... Jiang Chaojie and Wang Sheng quietly followed to see what the boss was up to.

Then... the two of them saw something that made their scalps tingle.

Li Yuhua was lying on the ground and was carried on Ding Lei's shoulder, climbing step by step up the ladder and thrown into the water tank.

Even now, Jiang Chaojie could clearly recall Li Yuhua's face at that moment; her eyelids seemed to flutter, suggesting she might not have been dead? Just knocked unconscious?

As Ding Lei threw her, Li Yuhua's whole body sank into the 4-meter deep water tank, and the lid was sealed.

Soon, the water tank started to shake! She really wasn't dead! She was struggling desperately in the water!

But... Ding Lei just silently stood by the water tank and watched quietly.

The two attendants hiding at the stairwell, eyes wide in horror, hearts frantic, did not go to save her.

Li Yuhua was desperate, cold water poured down her throat, into her nostrils, her lungs, the suffocating spicy feeling gradually numbed all her nerves, consciousness began to blur, intense resentment erupted at the moment of near death!

Her face went pale, her eyes wide open, staring intently at the tank wall as if she could see the people outside.

She drowned alive.

"In any case... we know nothing, and although the boss eventually discovered us, he promised us hush money, so, say nothing, understand?" Jiang Chaojie seemed to be convincing Wang Sheng, also persuading himself.

"But..." Wang Sheng frowned, whispering.

"What more do you want!" Jiang Chaojie glared at him, almost unable to contain his anger.

"No... nothing... I just need to go to the bathroom..." Wang Sheng shivered with fright, stammering his explanation, "Brother Jiang... why don't we go to the bathroom together?"

Jiang Chaojie was about to refuse when suddenly he too felt he had to use the bathroom badly, quite unexpectedly.

This feeling came suddenly and urgently.

"Okay, just remember, stop overthinking." As he said this, Jiang Chaojie opened the door.

Wang Sheng followed behind Jiang Chaojie with a pained expression; the bathroom was at the end of the corridor, right next to Zhang Wen's room.

As Jiang Chaojie and Wang Sheng walked toward the bathroom, they inexplicably felt colder and colder.

"Hey, Wang Sheng, don't you think today's corridor seems a bit narrower?"

Jiang Chaojie asked in a low voice.

Wang Sheng shivered, partly from fear, partly because he couldn't hold in his urgency any longer.

"No... no, I don't think so?" Wang Sheng denied Jiang Chaojie's suggestion.

Jiang Chaojie assumed it was just his imagination and stopped thinking about it.

"Damn it, who made such a mess with water at the bathroom entrance?" Jiang Chaojie glanced at the wet floor, cursing under his breath.

Wang Sheng did not answer, though he knew very well who it was.

It was obviously Zhang Wen, everyone knew Zhang Wen had mental issues, often letting water overflow freely by the sink.

But Jiang Chaojie didn't believe it; he liked Zhang Wen, a fact known to everyone.

The two stepped through the puddle and entered the bathroom, Wang Sheng rushed towards the urinal, and Jiang Chaojie quickly opened the stall door.

"Bang—"

Jiang Chaojie shut the door.

The sound of Wang Sheng relieving himself could be heard outside the stall.

Jiang Chaojie hastily removed his pants and squatted down.

Just then, the toilet bowl in the stall suddenly started flushing up!

The splashing water even reached his bottom.

Frowning, Jiang Chaojie turned his head toward the toilet to see what the problem was. He hadn't pressed the button; why did it start flushing involuntarily?

However... what appeared made Jiang Chaojie's scalp tingle.

Blood!

So much blood!

What was flushing the bowl wasn't water at all, but fresh blood!

Moreover, within the blood were dismembered limbs, chunks of meat, and... eyeballs!

"Fuck you!"

Frightened out of his wits, Jiang Chaojie yanked up his pants, stood up, and unlatched the door to run out.

However, though he unlatched the door, it seemed locked from outside and wouldn't budge!

"Wang Sheng! Fuck you, open the door for me! Open it now!!"

Jiang Chaojie screamed and shouted, pounding the door with his body, but... no matter how hard he hit, the fragile door didn't respond!

Then, the flushing sound suddenly ceased.

Jiang Chaojie swallowed, sweating all over, face pale, limbs weak.

And yet, when he turned to look back, forcing himself against fear, he was like thunderstruck and frozen on the spot!

From the toilet pit... stretched out a hand!

A ghostly white hand!

Jiang Chaojie's mind fuzzed, his legs almost giving way beneath him, leaving him slumped on the floor.

"Ha... ha..."

Unintelligible sounds came from his throat, as if something was stuck, unable to form a complete sentence.

And that ghostly white hand... was reaching for his neck, closer and closer...
