"Bai Lixi, a sophomore student, died strangely. According to the autopsy report issued, the cause was severe failure of internal organs. Five years later, he appeared at a friend's wedding scene out of thin air. Is it the resurrection of a real person, or is there something else hidden? Are there any two people who look exactly the same? Different opinions about amnesia add a bit of supernatural color to the incident. Why did Baili die and why did she come back to life? If she didn't die, how did she disappear quietly for five years? In the world?"

"..."

"Please watch, today's interview, today and the law, to solve your doubts and tell you a story——"

"Okay, okay, shut up, you." I rolled my eyes, "The TV column planning copywriting is really like yours, I have been fired a long time ago."

Xueda let out a rattling laugh, and made a posture that looked like he was laughing up to the sky, and then he held the steering wheel and concentrated on driving.

I:"……"

The corner of my mouth twitched, I poked him with my hand, and said angrily: "What do you mean? You are questioning my profession! You are wasting my time, you are so brave, Suzhi, you dare to make fun of me, believe it or not I am now Just call the ghost lamp to beat you?"

Suede was stunned by my poke, holding back his laughter desperately, the car was about to drive into an S shape, but he still held the steering wheel very dutifully to avoid dying on the spot.

Sighing, I withdrew my hand and said disgustedly: "Forget it, I don't want to die again, let's drive your car."

Looking out of the window with your chin in your hands, it’s springtime in the city at night, the neon lights are flickering, and the street lights are blurred. From a distance, the vehicles on the expressway are like a flowing Milky Way. Put on the hidden nightclub style clothes and come to the streets in the early morning. The city center is brightly lit and stretches as far as the eye can see.

The lights form a three-dimensional shape, and the scattered lights on the plane lose the sense of distance, like a transparent building with countless sharp corners, standing in the middle of the night.

"How do you feel tonight?" The orange-haired youth suddenly glanced at me in the rearview mirror and teased.

"Not so much." I replied casually, looking back from the front to the window, "It's too tiring to try on clothes, too tiring to walk in high heels, too tiring to see messy people, and I don't even have a salary."

Suzhi immediately clarified his position: "It's them! Several organizers said they wanted to raise donations, and they have nothing to do with me! I'll give you a raise!"

I shook my head and sighed: "Oh, I'm old and I can't move anymore, can I apply for resignation?"

"..."

The two of them drove dozens of kilometers in one car before reaching the entrance of the expressway.

Xuzhi sighed, "I'm already sleepy."

I silently reminded: "The driveway is closed."

There was a sign prohibiting entry and exit at the gate of the expressway entrance, and all the gates were tightly closed, and there was no one in the booth at the toll booth.I opened the car door, looked at the blocking iron railings, rolled up my sleeves and crawled over. A cold wind blew in my face, and I shivered immediately.

After confirming that all the machines were turned off, and there was no contact information or road tips left, I climbed back holding on to the railing.

"What's the matter?" Suede asked.

I got into the back seat again, closed the door, touched the goose bumps on my arms: "I can't go, let's go another way."

"alright."

Xueda started to reverse the car, the fountain beside the highway had been turned off, but the sound of water was still ticking.When I turned around, I heard the sound of a car honking in the distance. I looked up but saw no other cars.

"Strange..."

Xuzhi immediately frowned: "Xiao Baili, what are you doing! Don't scare me at night!"

"It doesn't make sense that there is no car here in the early morning, and it's not a backcountry. How can the highway in a metropolis be so quiet?"

Xuzhi's hand holding the steering wheel began to shake, he was crying, and burst into tears for a while: "I told you not to hold any business reception at night, and they insisted on listening, so it's best to lie quietly on the bed and play with your mobile phone. Work will make people feel uncomfortable. asphyxia."

I didn't answer, but pointed to a small white spot outside the car window and shouted, "What the hell is that!"

"Ahhhh-"

"Help, ah, ah—"

Two screams sounded at the same time, I first glanced at Xuzhi, who was holding his head and collapsed, with his dead fish eyes drooping, then slowly opened the car door, and shouted at the silvery shadow beside the road: "Hey! Are you OK!"

The silvery white slowly moved, and then turned into a face. I ignored Sueda's frightened cry, and called out the other person's name accurately: "Mr. Sakata?"

Probably because he saw someone he knew, Sakata Gintoki was sluggish for a few seconds when he crouched on the side of the road with his head in his arms, and then immediately jumped up rolling and crawling, and ran towards this direction without any image, shouting while running: " Wow, Yinsang is scared to death, Bai Baibai...Little, Xiao Hei, it's so wonderful that you came here!"

A drop of sweat dripped from the top of my head, and I moved a seat inside to let this older young man who was still in shock sit in.He slammed the car door shut, panting and leaning on the back of the seat in front.

"Why are you here?"

The silver-haired young man hugged the co-pilot's back and shook his legs, barely pulling himself together, pretending to be fearless: "I, I'm here to investigate some things, but I'm actually not afraid of ghosts at all."

I:"……"

Suede: "..."

Suede turned on the navigation, changed another small road, and planned to drive back to the urban area where the company is located. It happened that Sakata Gintoki was also on the same road with us, so he dropped by along the way.

"What about you? A date?"

"What a ghost date you." I added.

"..." Seeing that I was in a bad mood, Sakata Gintoki immediately turned his head to look at Sueda, and complained, "This person is too fierce, really too fierce, what do you think?"

Xueda nodded: "Probably because I exposed the fact that she was kissed again in front of a group of people tonight."

Sakata Gintoki: "..."

I:"……"

I almost laughed out of anger, and patted the seat cushion to educate him: "Squeal again! How many times have I told you not to mention this kind of thing when you are out of the house, as a victim, I am already miserable!"

"You haven't told me who it is, it really is that little boy in the rose garden!" Xuzhi snorted.

Sakata Yinshi listened to it for a long time, and couldn't help but interject: "Rose Garden?"

"It's the luxurious manor of Mr. Atobe's house. Our company and other industries have a business reception there today, and the little assistant is still my model." Suede didn't forget to show off while explaining.

"Oh, that, I saw it." The silver-haired young man answered, he put his arms around the back of the driver's seat solemnly and said, "I was also nearby, no wonder it was so lively, so there was a reception...Is there any cake? Is there a Buffy?"

When Suede heard it, he immediately became excited: "There are cakes with grape and matcha flavors! There are also ice cream with chocolate and strawberry flavors!"

"What!" I was shocked, "There is still ice cream? Why didn't you tell me?"

"Uh... I finished eating, so my stomach hurts a bit now." Sue smiled shyly.

"That's great." Sakata Gintoki sighed.

"and many more."

I interrupted them suddenly, pointed outside and said, "That's not right."

Sakata Gintoki and Sueda shook their heads quickly, and turned their heads in unison: "What's wrong!"

"Don't you think...the distance is not right?" I slowly guessed, "When I came here, it was a highway in the plains. When did it become a winding road outside now? There are no mountains near here, right?"

Everyone was silent for a while, only the mechanical voice of the mobile phone navigation was still dutifully broadcasting: "Turn left 100 meters ahead, speed limit, turn left at the next intersection, turn left now—"

"..." This operation is really suffocating.

Sakata Yinshi was so frightened that he let go of the seat back in his arms, turned sideways and hugged my arm tightly, and stuck to me: "There is no intersection here! Help! The three of us are going to die together!"

I pressed his head against his head in disgust to prevent this man from getting into my arms, but I didn't pull his hand away: "Calm down, don't panic, don't panic."

"Then what should I do now?" Xueda asked in confusion.

"Keep going." I shrugged. "See where we're going."

"There is a limited speed section ahead, please keep a constant speed, go straight for 500 meters and rush down the cliff—"

Suede: "..."

Sakata Gintoki: "..."

Me: "I still open a winter melon rind, stop, stop, stop!!!"

Xueda hurriedly stepped on the brakes, and the car made a sharp friction sound on the top of the hill. The three of us left our seats at the same time and swayed in mid-air due to centripetal force, and then fell down on the back of the chair together.

Before he calmed down for a while, he heard Xuzhi sitting in the driver's seat and shouting: "Look, Xiao Hei! There is a temple in front!"

I took a closer look, isn't it? Just less than a few hundred meters from the front of the car, there is a temple built in front of the cliff. The scale is not small. At night, you can see the resplendent murals with the car lights.

"Get out of the car." I concluded.

"Do you really want to go down?" Sakata Gintoki wrinkled his whole face, hugged my right arm tearfully, his legs were shaking non-stop.

"I don't want to go down either." This time it was Xueda who hugged the back of the seat and didn't let go.

I silently twitched the corners of my eyes, and complained with my dead fish eyes open: "You two are really worthless."

Ignoring these two guys, I opened the car door, and as soon as I put my foot on the ground, I felt a person hanging on my left and right arms at the same time. Looking around, these two big men were hiding behind me. He looked terrified.

I:"……"

The uninhabited old-fashioned temple has three floors. The phoenix on the roof looks like a crow. The giant pine tree at the door is bowed and twisted, showing a boat shape. Only the paper strip of the boat shaft is raised high.The moon rises into the sky from the side of the mountain, and the interior of the temple bears the moonlight, quietly printing a mottled and complex shadow.

The clear moonlight slid from the flower-headed window lattice, fell on the high door leaf, lurked from the vent hole, and finally three words emerged: Golden Pavilion Temple.

"Golden Pavilion Temple?" I read it out, feeling a little puzzled.

Xuzhi tugged at my left arm: "Why, what's the matter?"

"Son, read more books." I shook my head.

"I know..." Sakata Gintoki hugged my right arm, obviously taller than me by a lot but hunched over and hid behind, "It's one of Yukio Mishima's masterpieces."

"You still have more literary accomplishment." I affirmed in time.

"Hahaha, that is, Yinsang knows everything, is knowledgeable and talented."

"Please let go now."

"..."

Stepping on the creaking wooden boards, I tentatively pushed a heavy iron door. The red-backed gold-patterned door groaned, and the dark and complex wooden structure emerged with a clearer black.The old dark wood grain opens to the inside, revealing the overgrown courtyard.

Turn on the flashlight mode that comes with the phone, and I took a picture of the surrounding area: "At least for many years, no one has been here, dare to do these fancy things in front of me..."

"Come on!" Suede encouraged loudly.

"Shh!"

I glared at him, grabbed a handful in my pocket with my left hand, and clenched it tightly in the palm of my hand. I let out a deep breath, ignoring someone hanging on my arm, and swung it out with difficulty.

"Shh-"

A red date mixed with a handful of glutinous rice fell to the ground.

Suede: "..."

Sakata Gintoki: "..."

"What kind of look is that?" I put my hips on my hips and said angrily, "I've never heard of glutinous rice exorcising evil spirits."

"Why are there red dates?"

Xu Zhi was stunned for a while before he realized, blinked his eyes, and was about to cry: "So you didn't eat the dates I gave you at all...you just threw them away..."

Me: "..." Oops.

"Let's go."

I diverted his attention and dragged the two people who were obviously afraid to move forward.The beam of the flashlight is too short to illuminate the deepest area, so I had to keep my pace and look around carefully, for fear that something messy would pop out suddenly.

Sakata Gintoki saw that I was confident, as if I was going to face the unscientific thing that didn't know whether it was a human or a ghost, and said in horror: "Xiaohei, have you ever dealt with this kind of thing before?"

I said confidently, "I don't know, I lost my memory."

"Then...then let's go." The silver-haired young man jumped up immediately, and he didn't dare to speak loudly because of the current situation, so he could only whisper in a low voice.

"Why? It's super exciting." I rubbed my hands, "I've been waiting for a day for a long time!"

Sakata Gintoki almost knelt down. He glanced at the spider webs hanging in the corner, the broken porcelain that looked like a ghost movie scene, and the wreckage all over the place, and he said guiltyly: "Actually, I'm a little scared."

"I'm scared too!" Xueda nodded hastily.

I continued to dislike these two people: "What's going on, what's going on? Are we going to continue sitting in the car? It's obvious that something is wrong here, we can't give up the spirit of adventure, we have to dedicate our lives to science."

"...Obviously you are the most unscientific one." Xueda whispered.

I turned my face blankly: "What did you say?"

"..."

Seeing that this guy finally shut up obediently, I snorted coldly, looked at the mobile phone interface with no signal again, took out a small mirror from my pocket and aimed it at the road ahead, and muttered: "Too high on the stage, always adapting. Exorcising evil spirits, protecting life and body. Wisdom is clear and pure, and mind is peaceful. Three souls are eternal, and soul is not lost. Urgency is like a law..."

"What is this?" Xueda was confused.

"Probably something like an exorcism spell." I didn't care.

Sakata Gintoki stared at dead fish eyes and asked, "You know this?"

"will not."

I shook my head and pointed to my phone: "I searched it on Wikipedia before I lost the signal. It is said that it is a Taoist mantra for purifying the heart, and it is super useful for professional counterparts."

"..."

Sakata Gintoki and Sueda looked at each other, and at the same time saw the horror in each other's eyes.

Continuing to walk in is a wooden door, the overall color is gray-blue, so old that it seems to fall apart when touched.There was a human voice coming from inside the door, but I couldn't hear what he was talking about. Anyway, the voice was very familiar. If it was a human, he must not be very old.

I held my breath, handed the mirror to Sakata Yinshi, listened to the door for a while, and then slowly opened the door.

The purpose of entering is a room full of porcelain, and there are many bottles and jars of all kinds in a mess.In the center of the room sat a boy with his back to us, his face invisible, wearing long sleeves and jeans, with light beige hair.

Suede felt like he was about to pee out of fear.

I walked up to this person calmly, lowered my eyes, and saw another person I knew: "Natsume?"

Although the light-haired boy opened his eyes, he was out of focus, waving his fingers in the air, chanting words, and he didn't know who he was talking to.

"Are you possessed by a ghost!" I yelled at him.

Natsume Takashi didn't hear it at all, and sat there still motionless, even with a smile on his face.

The hair on the top of Sakata Gintoki's head was about to explode, even though it was naturally curly.He carefully pushed the mirror in his hand to Natsume's side: "Hello——Natsume-san? Moshi Moshi? Are you still online?"

Suddenly, a cloud of black gas appeared, floating into the air, with a familiar sour smell.I took a step back and warned: "Dangerous retreat!"

The remaining two jumped up and hid behind me.

I:"……"

The sight shifted, and the black air materialized, turning into a pair of hands, tightly strangling Natsume's neck.The place where it was held quickly eroded like a black mist, revealing red and unnatural skin.

Before I could make a sound, I took a step forward and stretched out my hands to hold down the inexplicable mist that seemed to have a substance, and kicked my hands violently.

The black hand finally let go, and then dispersed like mist, without substance, and disappeared.

"Natsume?" I shook his shoulder vigorously, hoping to wake him up.

Hard work pays off. Under my violent shaking, the light-haired young man finally opened his eyes. He was confused for a moment, probably because the big faces of the three of us suddenly appeared in front of him, his pupils shrank for a moment, and he shouted in disbelief: "Baili ?”

Me: "...Hi!"

"Ah, Xiao Hei." He finally realized and changed his words silently.

The corner of Xuzhi's mouth twitched, and he quietly glanced at Sakata Gintoki, and found that he didn't have any other abnormal behaviors.

"Why are you in my room?" Natsume asked.

I was silent for a few seconds, took half a step back, and motioned him to look around: "Is this your home?"

Natsume Takashi: "..."

"Hahahahahahahaha!" Xuzhi laughed heartlessly at this time.

Rubbing my temples, I felt very tired: "So welcome Natsume to join our expedition team?"

The handsome light-haired boy blinked his beautiful cat pupils, a little confused, so he answered slowly: "Thank you?"

"Hmph, another cowardly fellow!" Xuzhi complained from the side.

I couldn't help scolding him: "You're the one with the least courage! People who can drive up cliffs are not qualified to say that!"

Suzhi dissatisfied: "It's normal for me to be timid! I'm an atheist!"

After hearing this righteous speech, I simply don't know how to complain. This person has been to hell, seen Taoyuan Township, and seen the kingdom of heaven, but he still has the nerve to call himself an atheist?Be a little self-conscious, okay? !

Sakata Gintoki sighed: "Oh, if I had known today, I would have read more books on exorcism and exorcism. It's my fault for not studying hard. I really feel sorry for myself!"

Natsume:"……"

Suede: "..."

I:"……"

The author has something to say:

Come and find the feeling of renewal.

Ready to end the retreat.
