Frightening Joke: Above the Mist-Chapter 29: The Path to Life

The outcome was just as Lu Guo expected.

No matter how they hid, this ghost would gradually sense their position as time passed.

This wasn't its ability, but because... everyone had already violated the taboo of this task!

When Ma Zirong died eerily, Lu Guo racked his brains trying to figure out what went wrong, but no matter how he thought about it, Ma Zirong's death was shrouded in mystery.

At that time of day, not to mention the mirror, even everyone's appearance could only be vaguely seen, as for looking back? Lu Guo didn't think Ma Zirong would do something as obvious as that.

So... Lu Guo thought of a possibility.

There is only one explanation for Ma Zirong's death!

But if his thought proved true, then it meant that aside from Yu Hanzhou, everyone else had already violated the taboo!

They were all going to die! Just a matter of time.

As for the reason... it was because they had all looked back!

Su Qian!

The young senior student of Yu City University, an admirer of Yu Hanzhou.

Just before setting off, she had softly called Yu Hanzhou's name, perhaps due to some complex emotion, Yu Hanzhou didn't turn around to look at her then.

But... everyone else subconsciously turned to look at a glance!

The absolute taboo that must not be violated was broken by everyone from the start!

This damned Fog Gathering, this damned task.

It exploited everyone's psychology! After all, in everyone's long-held view... although Fog Gathering was an abhorrent place, it was absolutely safe, they never thought something would happen in Fog Gathering!

In the beginning, Lu Guo was also unwilling to believe it.

But looking at the results now, Lu Guo's guess had come true...

No matter where they hid, the taboo had already been broken, everyone was going to die!

The only one who possibly had a hope of surviving was Yu Hanzhou, who happened not to dare to turn back when facing Su Qian...

What irony.

Ever since this conjecture arose, Lu Guo started regretting, why did he turn back to look...

This cursed curse began the moment their names turned red.

...

Qi Nian felt a chill throughout her body, sensing even her bones were frozen.

She couldn't believe what her eyes saw.

An eerie "human" was hugging Lu Guo from behind!

No, that thing couldn't even be called a human!

It was a tall humanoid creature, it nearly reached the ceiling when it stood up, its limbs were all unnaturally twisted, covered in wounds, oozing yellow-green pus persistently.

An odd mixture of stench and floral scent filled the entire room.

What made Qi Nian's scalp tingle even more was its brain.

Its head was small, ridiculously so compared to its bloated massive body!

It had no scalp, the top of its head kept bulging with terrifyingly red veins as if to say... it was alive.

Yet, such a monster made surprisingly little noise when it moved! Qi Nian, hiding behind the curtain, watched as it took bizarre steps towards Lu Guo, and then... extended a pair of deformed arms from its waist, wrapping around Lu Guo's waist.

What to do?

What should I do?

Now that Lu Guo had been caught by it, was he going to die?

Chaotic, confused thoughts surged from all directions, fear, disgust, anxiety, distress, pain, despair... countless negative emotions stormed from her heart, ravaging this young woman's mental defenses.

At that moment, with icy cold hands, Qi Nian suddenly touched a small round object in her jacket pocket.

She was slightly stunned, then as if realizing something, her face changed suddenly!

A terrifying thought surfaced in her mind, she herself didn't know how she conceived such an idea.

But... once this thought appeared, it quickly grew and took root, clinging to her like a bone-eating insect!

What's most crucial is, at that very moment Lu Guo was about to die at the hands of the ghost!

Once Lu Guo died, Qi Nian didn't feel she had any hope of escaping the living room, maybe... she was next!

She was right behind that monster, behind the curtain, what should she do...

At that moment, Lu Guo already felt the change in his body.

An intense, unfamiliar sense of terror wrapped around his waist, those twisted, decaying monstrous hands were gradually tightening.

It acted.

Everything was about to... end.

Lu Guo couldn't describe his emotions at that moment, human beings are exceedingly complex creatures, the diverse range of emotions only illustrates the problem.

Fear, reluctance, confusion, but surprisingly there was also relief, a sense of release intertwined within.

"Once dead, everything is finished..."

Lu Guo closed his eyes, feeling the monstrous hands on his waist gradually tightening, his bones and viscera beginning to be squeezed.

His breathing became rapid, the organs in his abdomen started to ache...

"Hey!"

A newly familiar woman's voice suddenly rang out, causing Lu Guo to open his eyes instantly, disbelief appeared on his gradually pained face.

Qi Nian?!

When found by this fierce ghost, a resentful thought crossed Lu Guo's mind, why didn't Qi Nian remind him instead of hiding?

But then, he quickly realized, in such a situation making a noise to warn was no different than asking for death.

Probably, only a person who didn't know any better, incredibly foolish, would do so.

Yet Qi Nian choosing to hide made Lu Guo nod secretly, at least... that woman who looked like Lu Ran wasn't a fool.

But the current circumstances gave Lu Guo a solid slap in the face.

He never imagined that not only didn't Qi Nian hide well, she dared to jump out and shout!

Shout at the ghost!

Was this woman insane!

Lu Guo didn't make a sound, nor did he turn back, he didn't know that an incredible scene was unfolding!

Qi Nian stood pale-faced behind that more-than-three-meter-tall, deformed "person," raising her hand and shouting.

She forced herself to keep her eyes open, aiming the object in her hand at the back of that ghost's head.

Upon hearing Qi Nian's voice, it seemed taken aback for a moment, then... slowly turned its head.

The blood-red, skinless, disproportionately small head.

Upon it turning back, Qi Nian's whole body trembled, staring fixedly at its face!

That face is hard to describe with words, deformed, eerie, distorted features twisted into a mess, it didn't look like an individual, it seemed like a face pieced together from various odd parts!

It only had one single eye, embedded in the centre of its face, beneath that lone eye was a long, narrow huge maw with sharp teeth protruding without lips!

Disgusting, foul-smelling saliva dripped from those teeth, rendering Qi Nian's mind blank.

Fortunately, at this moment her body had already moved.

She raised the round makeup mirror in her hand and immediately aimed it at its single eye upon seeing it!
