After connecting the speaker, Li Wenhao turned up the volume of his cell phone horn to the maximum. The deafening sound echoed throughout the forest, making everyone's ears buzz.
He looked around nervously, wondering how many Red Army shadows were still here. As time passed, shadows kept emerging from the depths of the forest and walking towards him.
Chen Yu stared at the scene with wide eyes, finding it unbelievable.
It turns out that ghosts really do exist in the world, and they are ghosts that have been dead for decades. Who would have thought that there would be Red Army soldiers in the mountains? She had never seen them in historical documents.
Everyone looked at the rows of neatly arranged battle formations. They all had solemn expressions and sharp eyes, and were filled with murderous aura, staring straight at them.
The leading man stepped forward and said, "I'm Zhao Yougui, the commander of the third battalion of the Ninth Independent Regiment. Where are you from? I see your clothes don't look like you're from the foot of the mountain."
When they went up the mountain to fight guerrilla warfare against the Japanese, they saw the clothes the villagers wore, but they were not like this.
Li Wenhao stepped forward and briefly explained the situation, looking at them: "You repeat your memories every day. Although I don't know why, we are here to take you out."
Zhao Yougui looked at him suspiciously: "Without orders from our superiors, we cannot withdraw. The order at that time was to fight to the death. Now you want us to leave, but we can't."
"The war is over. Your mission is accomplished and you can go home."
"We don't believe it. If the communicator didn't receive the message, we can't go back. If we go back, the villagers will suffer."
Seeing that he couldn't explain it clearly, Li Wenhao picked up the satellite phone to contact Xing Fei, told him what happened, and whispered.
"Captain, we've found those souls. They appear to be a battalion's worth of soldiers. Could you please ask the veterans if anyone knows about the Third Battalion of the Independent Regiment?"
If there are still people alive, can we let them come with us? Otherwise, if we forcibly take them away, they will probably still be obsessed with it.
"I understand. I'll contact my superiors right away to inquire about the situation. I'm just not sure if they can trust what this ghost said. I must bring them home."
[I understand. I'll communicate with them again.]
The two sides stood face to face, and Li Fumei said, "Uncle, where are your bodies? Do you know you are dead?"
"Yes, I know. We will stay here even if we die. We will never evacuate without the commander's order."
The atmosphere suddenly became silent. Li Fumei turned the beads in her hand. This was the place where their souls would be placed. But now they were unwilling to leave, so it was not impossible to take them away by force.
But their obsession is too strong. If they insist on taking it away, I am afraid this obsession will be difficult to eliminate.
Zhao Yougui looked at him curiously while he was talking with a strange object in his hand. "Comrade, what is that thing in your hand? Can it be used to contact the outside world? Isn't it more powerful than a phone?"
Li Wenhao nodded: "Yes, this is a satellite phone. It's a satellite launched by our country. With this satellite phone, you don't have to worry about losing signal."
"Satellite? Our country has satellites too. When did this happen? Did our country win the war? Was New China established?"
"You won the battle. Now our country is strong and no one dares to bully us anymore. Without your sacrifice, we wouldn't have the good life we have today. We want to take you back to see it."
The phantoms were silent: "But how can we see it even if we die? If there is an order to retreat, we can leave, but there is no order now. We can't go anywhere."
Li Wenhao: ...Well, we’re back to the beginning again.
They searched the area, gathering the scattered remains. After waiting for an unknown amount of time, the phone rang. Li Wenhao answered and hummed, "Okay, I understand, Captain."
[Yes, there are survivors in that independent regiment. We will give them the retreat signal. You will then bring back the remains.]
[Yes, I understand.]
Li Wenhao turned on the speakerphone on his cell phone, and a somewhat old voice came from the speaker, reporting the unit number and other information, and giving the final signal for retreat.
The shadows swayed for a moment, then immediately stopped shouting. Everyone felt very uncomfortable seeing this scene. They had been guarding for a hundred years, and they were still guarding even when their souls were about to be broken.
Seeing this, Li Fumei drew out her merit and directly hit the phantoms. She rubbed the beads and collected them, then took people to the cave to look for corpses.
The white corpse, the tattered and weathered clothes, and the red five-pointed star on the hat could still be vaguely seen. Everyone silently collected the corpse and the relics bit by bit.
It took a whole day to collect more than 300 corpses. When it got dark, everyone planned to stay in the cave for one night and go down the mountain early the next morning to bring them down the mountain and go home.
Li Fumei touched the beads in her hand. They were filled with souls. The beads could nourish their souls, allowing them to hold on until they could see the world in peacetime.
Chen Yu watched from the side and said softly, "Little Fumei, you have learned Taoism."
"Well, I have entered the Xuanmen Sect and am now the master's only disciple. Teacher Chen, you have seen it all. You should go home."
"I... can't go back. The village is remote. If I leave the village, someone will catch me and take me back. I've been caught and taken back time and time again since I came here."
Li Fumei grabbed her skinny hand and said, "Teacher Chen, if you want to go back, I have a way to help you. This is an invisibility talisman. Put it on your body so that others can't see you."
