simple is the best

The rain didn't stop until midnight, and the night was thick and there was fog again in the mountains. Naturally, Luo Yan would not take the two of them up the mountain, but it was agreed to send them out early in the morning.

Ji Lin opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling. It was already three o'clock in the middle of the night, and Shi Yi and Luo Yan should have already fallen asleep next door.

He is a little reluctant to sleep, and he has no intention of falling asleep yet.

After lying down for a while, Ji Lin sat up from the bed and changed his pajamas into simple mountain climbing clothes.

Anyway, I can't sleep, so I might as well go out for a walk.

Even the earphones that were on the table were stuffed into his pocket by Ji Lin. After straightening his hair, Ji Lin quietly opened the door and slipped out.

There are no cameras around here, which just fulfilled Ji Lin's idea of ​​using his ability to float on the road. He took a flashlight and returned to the mountain where he had been during the day.

It's just that he didn't take the road to the temple, but went back to the bluestone road that he walked halfway during the day.

The squirrels in the mountains hide when they are afraid of being seen by people, but the squirrels on this road looked at each other without seeing them flustered, presumably they often see people.

What's more, when I followed Luo Yan up the mountain this afternoon, I kept looking at the signal of my mobile phone. Until the heavy rain fell, his mobile phone still had a signal. If you want to say that the signal gets worse as you go up the mountain, it is obviously unreasonable.

Ji Lin raised his feet and walked up, floating his body up the mountain by the evening wind, and pulling the vine branches hanging down in the mountain from time to time to change the direction of travel.

He held the phone in his hand, and when the signal sign on it disappeared, Ji Lin stepped on the ground with both feet.

He put the phone in his pocket, turned on the earphones and put them on his ears.

Since it is not the problem of the height of the mountain, there must be something blocking the signal in this place.

Ji Lin pulled a rope to bind one side of the tree, and he wrapped the other side of the rope around his body.

Raising his hand to try the night wind, and confirming that the rope on his body was fastened again, his body became light and buoyant.

The wind blowing from the rainy mountain was cold, Ji Lin looked up at the sky and found that he could still see the stars.

If there is a chance in the future, it is not bad to come here for a real trip.

As he thought, he let go of the rope he held in his hand little by little, allowing his body to slowly float up into the air, floating in the air like a balloon.When the rope was straightened, Ji Lin squinted his eyes and looked down at the deep mountain in the dark night.

There was a wind blowing and shaking the woods, and the sound made him understand where he was. At this time, Ji Lin's mind became clearer, and the flashlight in his hand had limited illumination, but he still used it to illuminate his body. Hope to use this little light to break the whole night.

The mobile phone still had no signal, so Ji Lin turned on the mobile phone camera and pointed it at a farther place, but the light at night was really sorry, he couldn't see further away clearly.

After looking at it for a while, he found nothing. Ji Lin put the phone back in his pocket, grabbed the rope and slowly became heavier. After landing, he untied the rope on the tree, and walked forward for a while. When he felt that it was almost the same, he Repeated tricks and floated up by a tree next to it

In fact, you can find more things in the morning, but the same appearance of yourself will also be seen by others, and you can't always have the best of both worlds.

Fortunately, he didn't look for long this time before he noticed lights in the woods on the left front.Ji Lin immediately turned off the flashlight, floated in the air for a while, and saw the light coming towards him.

Who is still in the woods so late?Ji Lin pursed his lips and pulled the rope back to the ground, finding a bush to hide.

The lights were flickering in the woods in front of him. He looked at his feet and found that there were many branches and stones around him. He picked a stone and held it in his hand. Then he raised his head and continued to pay attention to the situation in front of him.

It's three o'clock in the middle of the night and almost four o'clock. Ji Lin remembered that Luo Yan said in the morning that all the people on this mountain were removed, except for the monks in the temple...

Could it be someone who came out of the temple?

All the rocks around Ji Lin floated up, hanging in the air to facilitate his movements.

The light was getting closer and closer, and suddenly, the light disappeared.

Ji Lin also held his breath, and his whole body was tense, not daring to move. The wind blew past his ears, and the cold sweat on his back slid down his spine. It seemed that there was nothing, but it seemed that someone was secretly watching with everything.

He was shrouded in darkness, but he didn't know if the night could hide him.

Ji Lin's hand clenched the stone tightly. He listened to his surroundings, but he didn't even hear any footsteps.

Did that person stop, or did he find another way to leave?

Just as he was about to stretch his head to check, there was a sound of hurried footsteps coming from the front, and the lights appeared again.The sound of footsteps was getting closer and closer with the sound of panting, and Ji Lin suddenly jumped out of it.

A white shadow in front of him paused for a moment, and before he had time to raise the flashlight to see the thing's face clearly, he heard a sudden scream, and the white shadow turned and ran away.

Ji Lin was startled by him for a moment, and when he regained his senses, the white shadow had returned to the forest, and the stone in his hand subconsciously flew out to hit the shadow.

It's just that the stone disappeared halfway through the flight, and Ji Lin heard a dull sound, and the stone hit the ground.

"This is……"

Ji Lin ran after the white shadow, shouting, "Stop!"

The originally light body suddenly sank, Ji Lin's feet slowed down, but the white figure still ran fast.

The ability seems to be useless.

He chased after a few more steps, his physical strength was gradually exhausted, and the speed under his feet became slower and slower.But at the same time, the white shadow completely disappeared from his sight.

Ji Lin stopped. The smell of blood in his throat made him feel nauseous. He propped himself on his knees and retched for a while. Ji Lin was sure again that his ability suddenly didn't work.

I saw a ghost, Ji Lin thought to himself.

There are still woods around, but what lies beyond the woods is completely unknown.

Ji Lin felt a little regretful, took out his phone to check, and found that there was still no signal.However, his movement just now was already loud enough. If there were other people around, they should have come here long ago. Judging by the current reaction, there should be no one around.

He wanted to go back along the same road, but when he turned around, he found that everything around him looked the same everywhere.

Still lost.

Ji Lin simply sat down on the ground, took a few breaths and recovered, and there was already a ray of morning light in the sky.Looking at the time, it was almost five o'clock in the morning. If Luo Yan got up early enough, he should have noticed that he was not in the room.

Righting the headphones that were about to fall off his ears, Ji Lin pressed the switch. After a burst of electric current, he tried to say, "Hello? Can you hear me?"

Luo Yan's voice came immediately: "I think you need to give me an explanation."

"I'll talk about this later. You can locate me through the earphones. My ability suddenly failed. There is no one around now, but I won't know later."

There was a moment of silence in the earphones.

"...You wait for me." Luo Yan's voice was almost gnashing his teeth, he held the steering wheel with one hand, took off the glasses on his face with the other hand, rubbed his eyebrows and said, "We are already in the car. "

Ji Lin could hear the commotion over there. He looked up at the gradually brightening sky and said with a smile, "I think I should listen to you and try to go to the gym for a few exercises."

"It's not too late for you to go back and open a card, but I suggest you call Fang Jing first." Luo Yan stepped on the gas pedal, and he sneered with the phone under his shoulder, "I couldn't find you before, Shi Yi made a fuss and called him, Fang Jing sounded very angry and anxious."

Ji Lin: ...

"If it's not about ability, you probably can't beat Fang Jing, right?" Luo Yan asked.

"I don't think now is the time to discuss this. You should come from the abandoned road, not the road up the mountain to the temple." Ji Lin stood up and patted his pants. He looked around and said: "A forest, yes it is a forest, I think I should be halfway up the mountain, but I can't see the way."

While talking, Ji Lin reached out and parted the bushes blocking the way in front of him.

"Our car can't drive up, you know, so we go up on foot. Regarding the loss of ability you mentioned, I suggest you stand where you are and don't go."

After Luo Yan finished speaking, he waited for a while but did not get a reply from Ji Lin. He roared: "Ji Lin! Are you still listening?"

"I'm here, I seem to know why my abilities disappeared." Ji Lin looked at the green roof in the distance directly in front of him and laughed.

When Luo Yan and Shi Yi arrived here, Ji Lin was leaning against a tree and playing with his mobile phone.

"I think you didn't go to the foot of the mountain yesterday, but went straight up the mountain." Luo Yan sighed, he stretched out his hand to hold Ji Lin's arm, and he let go after a while, "Well, my current ability has also been suppressed. influence."

Ji Lin raised his eyebrows, "I have always felt that things that are not sure or have no evidence belong to the part that does not need to be known by others. So when I am not fully sure, I will choose to clarify things before telling others .”

"It makes sense but I don't agree with it." Luo Yan sneered.

"Go back later and sign an agreement. If you die, at least leave the body to me and make some contributions to scientific research."

Shi Yi rubbed his black hair and said irritably, "Brother Ji, being frightened is not good for people's hearts. Sometimes you might as well speak out what's in your heart, after all we...um...wouldn't laugh at you for such things. "

Luo Yan looked at him, "That's right, but this matter is not over, I have to ask Zou Fengming for the specific follow-up. After all, he was woken up from a dream by a call from me today, so he might not be in a good mood."

Ji Lin pursed his lips, raised his chin towards the green building in front of him and said, "Then hope our discovery can make him happier."

This building hidden in the mountains has been painted in a color similar to the surrounding woods, so that it will not be easily spotted even during the day, let alone at night.

"How did you find out about this place?" Luo Yan asked with a frown.

Ji Lin went up the mountain at night, how could he find such a hidden place.

"Because of a white shadow, I chased it, lost it and then I came here." Ji Lin stretched out his hand and pushed the unlocked iron door open, and the piercing voice cut through the silence of the morning.

He stepped into the yard and looked down to see a footprint in the wet soil

Luo Yan walked to his side and heard a laugh.

"But I think I should be able to find it soon." Ji Lin said lightly.
