Tang Xi was sitting in the car and flipping through the folders.

The information given by Fu Xiao is very detailed.

Guanli is an outdoor activity enthusiast, commonly known as a travel companion. Every time he goes to a large scenic spot, he doesn't like to take a well-built viewing path. Instead, he opens up a new route from a place where there is no road.

Three years ago, Guan Li came to Lumingshan alone and contacted Fu Xiao at first, but from the third day on, the mobile phone never got through.

Because Guan Li likes to go in and out of no man's land alone, for safety, he uses a satellite phone. There is no signal without signal. However, the fact is that his mobile phone was not found through satellite positioning, as if it had evaporated out of thin air.

Of course, so are people.

So far is the third year.

"You said, if the family is so rich, why don't you have to take your own life to play?" Tang Xi asked puzzledly.

"It's probably because I didn't lack everything since I was a child, I feel that life lacks fun, and I want to seek excitement." Pei Qingzhi replied.

Tang Xi turned his head and glanced at him.

"However, since I was young, the stimulation has been enough." Pei Qingzhi shrugged.

Tang Xi couldn't help but let out a "pouch" laugh.

"A few years ago, I heard from my uncle that it seemed to let them get married when Fu Xiao graduated from university." Pei Qingzhi added, "The Fang family and the Fu family are family friends. They have always had a good relationship with their childhood sweethearts. Everyone takes it for granted. ."

"That's really a pity." Tang Xi said casually, then turned the information back one page, and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.

But I saw that it was a map of Luming Mountain, but a large area of ​​it was painted in red, which accounted for about one-third of the entire map.

"This is the area that the search and rescue teams invited by the two families had searched after Guanli disappeared that year. They searched for three months." Pei Qing sighed, "If the two families were not well-funded, ordinary people would not be able to afford it. This fee."

"But I didn't find it after searching like this?" Tang Xi was a little surprised.

"No one was born, no corpse was seen, and even the outdoor supplies he brought into the mountain were not found." Pei Qingzhi said, "At that time the search team's energy had reached its limit, even if the Guan family was willing to add more money, it would not Will continue to search."

"It's also inevitable." Tang Xi pointed to the bright red area and said helplessly, "The undeveloped area of ​​Luming Mountain is steep, with lush vegetation, and it is not easy to walk. Transportation is absolutely impossible. A normal person in Guanli, even if he used to run, would not be able to get out of this area within a few days. There really is no need to search far away."

"But it's weird here." Pei Qingzhi said in a deep voice, "The rescue team searched so carefully, and almost turned over the soil in this area in three months, let alone find things, even Guan Li once passed by. No traces can be found."

"Could he not enter the mountain at all, but went somewhere else?" Tang Xi blurted out.

"No." Pei Qingzhi shook his head, took out his phone and sent a video to her.

Tang Xi was startled, and clicked play after downloading.

The picture is pitch black, it seems to be outdoors, where there is no light at all.

After a while, a beam of light lit up in the lens, which seemed to be a spike flashlight, and then came a vigorous young voice: "Xiaoxiao, I saw the sika deer, so lucky! Watch me take it for you... um, It’s quite suitable for outdoor adventures. Next time, call Aling and the others to come camping together—hey, it’s ahead. I won’t talk about it if I want to keep quiet."

Suddenly, a sika deer appeared in the camera.

The little deer was startled by the light of the flashlight, and ran into the night with a jump.

"Ah, I ran again, I'm really scared of life." The voice in the video rang again, and then the camera shook for a while, switching to the front camera, and the screen was suddenly filled with a face.

It was a handsome boy, dyed with yellow hair, wearing single ear studs, and a dark green jacket on the upper body, which looked decent.

"Okay, I'm back to the tent, too, and I'll show it to you during the daytime tomorrow, Xiaoxiao, good night~" The boy blew a kiss, and then the video ended.

"This is Guan Li." Pei Qingzhi waited for her to finish watching. "This video has been identified by the technical department and has no traces of modification. Moreover, the vegetation and sika deer appearing in the video are indeed the unique environment of Luming Mountain."

"It's so strange, I'm a little interested." Tang Xi smiled slightly.

"Where do you want to start?" Pei Qing asked, "If you need to go into the mountains, you have to prepare outdoor supplies first. Your clothes are not good either."

"Those will trouble you." Tang Xi continued.

"It should be." Pei Qing chuckled and immediately sent a message to Xiang Jiuming, instructing reliable subordinates to prepare a full set of outdoor climbing supplies, "The things should be delivered in the evening, shall we enter the mountain early tomorrow?"

"We?" Tang Xi was taken aback.

"I'll go too." Pei Qingzhi said seriously, "I'm quite familiar with the environment of Luming Mountain. I come here several times a year, and you are helping Fu Xiao. I can't let you go into the mountain alone."

"Um... it's okay." Tang Xi nodded after thinking about it, "But, not tomorrow, we will enter the mountain tonight, after dark."

"Tonight?" Pei Qing asked in surprise, "Will it be inconvenient?"

"It's convenient." Tang Xi closed the folder with a "pop" and smiled, "Besides, you can't find it during the day."

"What do you mean...I can't find it during the day?" Pei Qingzhi's expression was a bit unpleasant.

"If you can find the normal way, you won't invite me, will you?" Tang Xi blinked at him.

Pei Qing became dumb.

Sure enough, Xiang Jiuming's work efficiency was as high as ever. He sent a full set of equipment before dinner, which was the best thing that could be found in the time frame.

Tang Xi squatted in front of a pile of items to pick and choose, and said, “You don’t need to bring anything for camping, such as tents. You don’t need to go in at night to sleep in the tent. Some dry food and water are used as a signal flare for help. Um... put on the medicine bandage too. By the way, take another thicker bag, a bigger one!"

Xiang Jiuming found out what she needed and put them into the travel backpack one by one. Hearing the last sentence, he couldn't help asking: "Miss Tang, what is it for?"

"Oh, if you find Guan Li, pick up his bones anyway, and take a pocket as a spare." Tang Xi replied.

"..." Xiang Jiuming's face turned blue.

"That's it." Pei Qingzhi casually picked up the snakeskin bag used to carry these supplies, rolled it up and stuffed it into the backpack.

"What else is coming?" Tang Xi asked back.

"Take it." Pei Qingzhi handed her a bottle of potion, and under her puzzled gaze, explained, "Powerful anti-mosquito water. It's midsummer. If you don't spray the medicine in the forest, you can be bitten by mosquitoes for half your life. "

"Oh." Tang Xi took the bottle and took a suit of jacket that was convenient for jungle activities and went to the restroom of the hotel where he was staying to change it.

"President Pei, do you really want to enter the mountain at night?" Xiang Jiuming said uneasy, "Is this... too dangerous? Why don't you bring bodyguards?"

"No." Pei Qingzhi shook his head.

Even if you encounter danger, the bodyguard can't rely on it, that's not something ordinary people can deal with, so don't scare people out of trouble. As for himself—he touched the psychic gun lying quietly in the pocket of his jacket and smiled slightly.

"Don't worry, you won't lose Mr. Pei." Tang Xi's voice came from behind.

Xiang Jiuming smiled awkwardly, turned around, and his eyes lit up.

The girl changed her clothes, and the ponytail that she usually **** was directly rolled up on the back of her head. It looked cleaner and valiant.

"How is it?" Tang Xi noticed the gazes of the two, spreading out her hands generously and turning around.

"Not bad." Xiang Jiuming said dryly.

"Very handsome!" Pei Qing praised.

"..." Xiang Jiuming couldn't help but complain, Mr. Pei, how can you describe a girl as handsome... well, it's really handsome!

Pei Qingzhi also took a set of jackets to change it, and when he returned to the box, the waiter had already delivered the ordered food.

"This looks good." Tang Xi smiled.

"Speaking of which, the investigation team may postpone the hunting of wild animals in the restaurant on Luming Mountain. After all, human lives must be dealt with first." Pei Qingzhi remembered.

"It's okay, I have already been retributed, but the price is a bit heavy." Tang Xi sighed.

"The child is innocent after all." Xiang Jiuming interjected.

"I'm seven years old, I can't be considered completely innocent." Tang Xi said flatly without moving his eyebrows. "In such a family, even if the child is ignorant, how could it be possible to grow up eating those things? Karma. In the final analysis, adults do evil and cause harm to children and grandchildren."

Xiang Jiuming thought for a while, but couldn't speak.

I have eaten it, how could it be possible to pass it lightly without knowing it, but it's just so terrible that it makes people embarrassed.

"Although the ingredients in this store are clean, but..." Pei Qingzhi smiled bitterly at a plate of braised pork on the table, "I saw such a scene in the morning, why can you still eat so delicious?"

"Don't you blame it? The corpses killed by the ghosts and monsters are so strange, how can you mind one by one." Tang Xi took a bite of the fat and thin braised pork, squinted his eyes with happiness, and said after a while, "I was last time. In the forensic room of the Municipal Bureau, I saw sister Wan Yi eating braised pig intestines as a supper at the dissected corpse."

"Oh..." Xiang Jiuming imagined the scene for a moment, and couldn't help his stomach churning.

"It's useless." Tang Xi gave him a blank look. "A big man, is this afraid?"

Xiang Jiuming wants to cry without tears. Isn't this afraid, is it disgusting? So the girl who can practice medicine is really amazing, of course, the lady in front of him is also.

"Eat more if you like." Pei Qingzhi put the whole plate of braised pork in front of Tang Xi.

"Yeah." Tang Xi bulged her cheeks like a hamster, and nodded with a smile.

Pei Qing couldn't help but laugh. Every time I ate with Tang Xi at the same table, there was always a feeling. It seemed that the usual dishes became particularly delicious, and she must be very popular with chefs.

After eating, it became dark.

Xiang Jiuming drove them to the foot of Luming Mountain, still worried.

"It's okay, if everything goes well, I'll be back tomorrow morning." Tang Xi comforted and got out of the car.

Pei Qingzhi carried the travel bag and checked his equipment one last time, especially to confirm the satellite phone signal.

everything is normal.

"Let's go." Tang Xi took a look and chose a direction directly.

Because it is still at the foot of the mountain, the terrain is relatively flat and the trees are sparse, so it is easy to walk. It's just that under the darkness of night, the mountain without light pollution looks extraordinarily dark, but tonight is still a moonless night.

Pei Qingzhi turned on the portable strong light to illuminate the road ahead, and said: "This is the way Guan Li walked into the mountain back then, but when he gets to the depths, it doesn't matter where he goes. Even if there are any traces, it will be long after three years. I can't see it anymore."

"What's the hurry?" Tang Xi carried her hands on her back, all relaxed, as if she was coming for an outing.

"It's just weird. If you say everything goes well, you can come back in the morning -" Pei Qingzhi hesitated before saying, "Guan Li disappeared on the third day, one night, can you walk the distance where he disappeared?"

"If he had disappeared normally, he would have been found by the rescue team." Tang Xi shrugged, "So, the distance doesn't matter."

"What should I do then?" Pei Qing asked curiously.

"Hmm..." Tang Xi took out the engagement ring he had brought from Fu Xiao from his pocket, and flicked it into the air gently—

"Om—" With a clear cry, the ring suddenly gleamed after being thrown to the highest point, and then it trembled violently.

"If Fu Xiao didn't lie, and Guan Li really has a deep and righteous affection for her, then this ring contains a strong obsession." Tang Xi raised her head, fixed her eyes on the ring, and slowly said, "Zhi Nian will take us to find its owner."

"Such spirit?" Pei Qingzhi didn't finish a sentence when he saw that the ring seemed to have life, and rushed in one direction.

"Keep up!" Tang Xi said before he could say more.

The speed of the ring is very fast, but Tang Xi has been exercising physical fitness according to the method of the previous life in recent years, and Pei Qingzhi has also practiced since childhood. This speed is not too difficult to keep up.

"Xiao Xi, is this direction a bit wrong?" Pei Qingzhi said while running.

Because the light from the ring is like a street light, he has put away the bright lights.

Tang Xi frowned and said nothing.

She specially chose the road from Guanli to the mountain, but this route... seems to be heading towards the viewing area?

Didn’t you say that you never take a well-built viewing path?

Having said that, Luming Mountain is also a popular scenic spot. Especially in this season, there are more tourists who come to escape the summer heat. Many people even live in the farmhouse on the top of the mountain for two months. If Guanli enters the scenic spot, no one will find it.

The ring is like a lost child, eager to return to the adult, stopped several times as if looking for direction, but soon continued to move.

"We seem to be walking around in a circle." Pei Qingzhi said suddenly.

Today's speed no longer needs to run, and it just happens to stop to catch a breath.

"It's not that we are walking around in circles, it's Guan Li." Tang Xi's lips showed a smile, "The obsession follows the place where Guan Li passed. It must be three years ago that the person was just like us now. I can’t go out in circles here."

"Ghost hit the wall?" Pei Qing hesitated.

"Yes, it's just a man-made ghost hitting the wall." Tang Xi said, beckoning and pulling the ring back to his palm.

The ring jumped in her hand, as if expressing dissatisfaction.

"This place is familiar." Tang Xi stopped and looked around.

"Here..." Pei Qingzhi thought for a while, and said with some uncertainty, "It seems that it is not far from where I picked you up by helicopter yesterday."

"That's right." Tang Xi took out the Soul Cultivation Orb, waved his hand, and released the white wolf inside.

"Woo-" The white wolf lay down on the ground, making a low whimper in his mouth, like surrendering and begging for mercy.

"It looks like he is recovering well." Tang Xi nodded in satisfaction, but the next moment he turned his face, transformed into a whip with spiritual power, and drew it with a whip, "Pretend to be dead, I just beat you back to the original shape, and didn't break you. Taoism and cultivation, speak human words!"

"Big, Master, please spare your life!" The white wolf trembled more severely, and his mouth really spit out human words. His eyes faded from blood and returned to the green color. His eyes were full of tears, which made people see it from a wolf face. Wronged Baba.

Pei Qingzhi opened his eyes wide, and perhaps the excitement of seeing a ghost is not as shocking as the shock of a wolf talking.

Tang Xi squatted down, touched the soft fur on the white wolf, and said with satisfaction: "It's a pretty good bib material."

"No, no, master, master! I am willing to be your pet, what do you say, don't kill me!" The white wolf was about to cry.

"When you murdered, why didn't you think that one day you would be arrested, skinned and cramped, and made into a collar?" Tang Xi sneered.

"I don't. I'm a demon who cultivates well. I dream of returning home one day. I won't kill anyone!" White Wolf screamed hurriedly.

"Oh, then you are going to talk about it, what's the matter with the unjust soul on your body?" Tang Xi said.

"It was poured in!" White Wolf shouted without hesitation, "It was poured in by a woman three years ago!"

"Woman? Not an old man?" Tang Xi was shocked, surprised.

"..." The White Wolf paused, "Although we wolves look like you humans, we don't think of the old man as a woman."

Tang Xi pondered for a while, turned on the phone, and showed it a picture of the woman who blew herself up in the IKEA garden: "Is this this woman?"

"It seems to be..." White Wolf hesitated.

"Yes, yes, no, no, what does it mean like!" Tang Xi slapped it on the head with a "pop".

"But... your human women all look the same." The White Wolf distinguished aggrievedly.

"..." Although Tang Xi was clever, she was choked.

Indeed, just as people can't tell which animal is the only one with a big difference in color and pattern, animals see people in the same way. Human faces are all printed in the same mold in their eyes. Even if the white wolf cultivated spiritual wisdom, but the cultivation base was not enough, it is still an animal in nature.

"That woman, did she show up later?" Pei Qing asked.

"I have been here the year before, and there has been no more since the second half of last year." White Wolf replied.

Tang Xi frowned slightly, did the time coincide with the time of the woman's death. Also, to deal with a little demon, I am afraid that the BOSS will not be able to go out in person.

"After the grievance was poured into my body, I don't remember what I did most of the time, but..." The white wolf lay back on the ground again, paused, and finally said like a broken jar, "Yes, occasionally sober. Sometimes, I often post some strange things, such as blood on the corners of my mouth... but it's really not the one I killed!"

"Have you seen this person." Tang Xi turned out Guan Li's photo to show him again.

Bai Lang glanced at him, shaking his whole body, and immediately said, "I haven't seen it!"

"Really?" How could Tang Xi be deceived by its obvious little action, with a sweet smile on her face, but a group of spiritual power was already condensed in her hand, and a faint light of thunder burst in her palm.

"No, no, I've seen it before!" The white wolf shrank, his hair exploded, and he didn't dare to run, so he changed his mouth quickly.

"Didn't it mean that all human beings are about the same length?" Tang Xi asked.

"Because his earrings are special, I remember..." White Wolf said helplessly.

Tang Xi also glanced at the photo more.

Sure enough, Guan Li's ears were wearing single-sided stud earrings that looked like a silver wolf's head. They were indeed unique in shape.

"So, Guan Li's soul is likely to be in the unjust souls you took from it yesterday?" Pei Qingzhi said in horror.

Tang Xi groaned for a while, took out the soul-cultivating pearl that sealed the resentment, and let out the resentment he had collected.

Suddenly, the wind blew up in the woods, and the roar of ten thousand ghosts could be heard in the ears.

"It's so noisy!" Tang Xi threw the ring directly.

In an instant, the billowing grievances separated and wrapped the ring in.

"Yunqi!" Tang Xi shouted.

Yun Qi appeared silently, raised the jade flute, and played a piece of requiem. He didn't play the whole tune, but with the sound of the rhythm, a ray of resentment was gradually separated and circled around the ring.

"The only thing left is the corpse." Tang Xi clenched a fist, suppressing excitement, and said coldly, "As long as the corpse is found and it proves that Guan Li died abnormally, the case can be filed."

"You really helped Chu Li." Pei Qingzhi suddenly felt unspeakable.

He knew that there was a problem in his mood, but he didn't know where the problem was.

Chu Li was Tang Xi's guardian. They had no other relatives, they depended on each other for their lives, and the relationship should be good.

But... there is a subtle jealousy. Could it be because Tang Xi rejected her grandfather as a guardian? If her guardian is grandpa, would she and herself...it seems something is wrong?

"Pei Qingzhi?" Tang Xi shouted.

"Huh?" Pei Qing was startled, and immediately returned to his senses.

"I called you several times, what do you think." Tang Xi looked at him suspiciously.

"No, I'm just thinking where the corpse will be." Pei Qingzhi calmed down and quickly sorted out his thoughts and organized them. "Look, this area is within the search range of the rescue team. If there is a corpse, it is impossible to find it. No, they are professional. And more than one person has disappeared over the years. Judging by the number of these grievances, there is even more than one corpse. It hasn't been discovered so far. There must be a special place to deal with corpses."

"You are right." Tang Xi nodded.

"Pop!" The tarnished ring fell to the ground.

Tang Xi walked up, picked up the ring, looked at it, and put it in her pocket.

The original shiny yellow diamond seemed to be covered with dust, and it looked like a plastic texture.

Yun Qi's tune suddenly changed. From the gentle and calm "Requiem", he suddenly became violent, as if a silver bottle had exploded, making people feel relieved.

The grievances that had been soothed also became irritable, rushing from left to right and trying to escape.

Tang Xi squinted his eyes, and said leisurely: "As for where the corpse is, just let the ghost take us to find it."
