I felt something behind me, I turned around, and it was just a dark path in front of me.

I thought it was probably just my illusion. I didn't doubt it and headed to the right of the road, which is the turnaround point on the hill of the Green Mist Forest. The place where my father was killed, and when I got to the bottom of the mountain, the weird feeling disappeared again, but I could not ignore the strange feeling. I looked around, but only endless dark and intensive fog. I rested for about 5 minutes and then hiked to the top of the mountain, but at that moment, I heard a voice in a slow tone coming from the forest on the hill.

'Human, do not go further anymore. This is not the place for you to come.'

I was shocked and scared when I heard the warning. It was almost midnight; who would be there?

I was going to look for the sound source, but the sound was not too small, echoing in the mountains. There is no way to know where it came from.

I decided to ignore the sound and continued to go up the mountain. How could I abort today's plan because of a sound?

According to the only contents of my father's notebook

Green Mist Forest

'Those who steal the holy spring will pay for their greed.'

'In the early morning in the Green Mist Forest.'

'Those who desecrate their lives will pay for their actions'

'The green mist hot spring villa at dusk'

'Those who search for the truth will be ？？？？？？？？？？'

"Green Mist Forest Peak at night."

Although I can't understand the first two lines of these three lines, the third line of the truth should be the reason for my father's death, but I couldn't figure out the meaning of the first two paragraphs.

But only the third line is a blur. However, I do not understand the reason. I know that this is a clue, yesterday I got this notebook. I went to talk to Tina about this matter, hoping that she could help. Still, she said that she also read this notebook, but the note was blank. She said that I must be stressed to see hallucinations, I needed to rest, I didn't say a word, but I knew that find the truth at all costs.

Maybe I've been here in the past. It's really so easy to reach the mountain top. When I got there, I walked to the observation deck to take a look, not surprisingly a dark, well it's midnight now, it's impossible to see anything, just when I intend to step into the woods next to me, I noticed a green light flashing at the foot of the mountain, seems like someone is planning to go up the hill, I wondered how there could be people coming here at this time. But according to what I had heard before, some couples may come here for the excitement, but this was Christmas night when I was still confused. The green light at the foot of the mountain flew quickly to the peak. From childhood, my eyesight was excellent. When the light was close to the top of the hill, I suddenly saw two people towards me. They cracked a smile at me. Seeing this scene, I was so scared that I immediately turned off the flashlight. Two ordinary-looking middle-aged men, both with a regular face, but their smile was very creepy. It was like someone was lifting up the corners of their mouths with their hands. As the green light reached the top of the mountain, I was forced to find a bush to hide in.

They made it to the top of the mountain! I knew they had found me when I saw them searching for something. Trying to find me out...

The top of the mountain was tranquil at night, and they had been here looking for almost 10 minutes! Fortunately, they did not see me there, but the trampling sound of leaves and branches stimulated me all the time. When one of them turned to my side, I clearly saw his front. He was an everyday look, but his face was unusually white, like a corpse. He kept walking toward me, and the distance between him and me slowly shortened with his footsteps. One step, two steps. With his approach, I felt the temperature around me decreasing. I think if he found me, then he would definitely kill me. This oppressive feeling was too strong. When he strolled over, I tensed to stop breathing, afraid that the sound of breathing would be heard by him as he walked ahead of my bush and stopped in front. Cold and choking feeling, the horrible feeling came to me, he was found me, I will die!

When I hid in the bush, I held the knife tightly. If he continued to move forward, it would be a fight with him! The green light slowly drifted past and soon arrived at the location where I was hiding, which I knew I could no longer hide, while I was preparing in my mind for the counterattack later! The woods suddenly floated out of a large number of white light, which flew from all directions to the observation deck, and I made out the countless fireflies! When they passed by me, the suffocating fear all disappeared, leaving only a feeling of warmth and peace.

The man in front of me saw the white light and turned back to check. The white light faded slowly to the terrace and gathered into a mass. A flash of a figure came out of the white light at that moment. When she came out, the white light that had been assembling scattered, the whole terrace was illuminated by the white light, and only after about 10 seconds did the figure finally reveal itself, a long white hair. Still, the face was hidden by the white light. Cannot clearly see, but from the constitution is to see a beautiful woman. The white-haired woman looked at the two men coldly and expressionlessly said

'Humans, why disturb the peacefulness of the forest.'
