Mike sat at the bar in this small town for a long time, from early evening until midnight, the bar was almost closed, and his friend had not yet come.

Mike went to the toilet once, then left the bar and returned to the residence.

Mike lay in bed, reviewing the information he had gotten over the days.

He had a hunch that his friend might have an accident.

If, as his friend said, he really had a way to unlock the secrets of this jungle, then he would be in danger if the information leaked out······

It is even possible that even he himself is being targeted.

However, it is certain that he was not being followed on the way back to the hotel.

This is the agility he has cultivated over the years of traveling north and south, and he can't go wrong.

Unless the man who is following him is far superior to him.

But no matter what, this town can't stay, he has to get out of here.

After so many years and countless crises, Mike has summed up an experience.

If you don't feel good, don't hesitate to leave.

As a result, Mike survived multiple crises.

This time, after discovering that his friend might have had an accident, he always had the illusion that the forest had "come alive" from this town and devoured all the creatures that entered it.

This makes Mike reject the forest both physically and mentally, and just wants to leave as soon as possible!

And, he had one more thing to do.

His friend also has a pair of children, and he is more worried about whether the two children will also have an accident, and he wants to make sure.

It's a pity that he only has the phone number of his friend, and he doesn't know his home phone, otherwise he would have been sure now.

And, with just the phone, he couldn't be sure if the pair were really safe.

But just as Mike wanted to check out and leave overnight, the boss came over and handed him a thick envelope, saying that someone had left it for him.

This ······

Inside the room, Mike was now hesitating whether he should leave or open the letter.

He had a hunch that if he opened the letter, he might not be able to leave the town.

And who left him this letter, Mike also came out.

There was no one else but his friend.

After all, only he would know that as long as he traveled to this town, he would stay in this hotel.

In the end, Mike still didn't open the letter, and he put it away.

Prepare to visit a friend's two sons and daughters as originally planned to see if they are okay before preparing for the next move.

It took half a month for Mike to come to the friend's house.

To his surprise, his friend's divorced ex-wife was taking care of the children at home.

Mike thought his friend had hired a babysitter to take care of the kids.

If his friend is really missing, then the two children will be left unattended, which is another reason why Mike chose to come here first.

And looking at his friend's ex-wife who was preparing tea, Mike was full of emotion in his heart.

He and his friend can be said to be the same kind of people, they are people who can't sit still and run around the world, and they can't stay in one place quietly.

As a result, they often can't take care of their homes.

The only difference is that he still hasn't got a family, while his friends are married and have children.

Although it is said that the friend is often away from home, his wife can't stand the divorce.

Mike chatted with his friend's ex-wife before deliberately asking where his friend had gone.

Pretend not to know where your friend has gone.

And my friend's ex-wife didn't know about it, after all, they hadn't been in touch for a long time.

It's been about a year and a half since I last got in touch.

Of course, although my friend doesn't come back often, he also writes letters to his two children for a long time, almost every month.

Has it never been broken?

After talking, Mike learned that the mother got custody of the two children when they divorced.

It seems that his friend also knows that he is not a qualified father.

Mike saw that one child was drawing while the other appeared to be sleeping, and Mike curiously stepped forward to see what the child was drawing.

"It's ······"

Mike frowned as the child drew a few hills in crayons, with large trees strung together in triangles below.

Total feeling... It's familiar.

Mike seems to have seen a similar sight somewhere.

Mike had a serious flash of doubt, but he didn't think much about it, it must be a certain mountain he had visited before.

After all, he didn't know how many peaks he had seen over the years.

"Well, that's the scene in a photo his father sent me last month. I don't know where it came from. ”

Mike's eyes lit up. "Can you show me?"

"Absolutely."

My friend's ex-wife found the photo, and the moment he saw it, it was as if lightning struck Mike's mind.

He's seen the mountain in the photo!

But not when you run around the world, but in your own home!

In his home, there is also a painting.

An antique that has been passed down for hundreds of years.

It is said to be an antique, but it is not from the hands of celebrities, and the second is not a painting of places of interest.

So the painting wasn't worth much.

But he was cared for as a treasure by his grandfather, as if there was some secret inside.

His father had wanted to sell the painting.

After all, this painting is an antique no matter how you say it, and it is always worth a few dollars.

But when his grandfather found out, he almost broke one of his legs, and after that, his father never dared to fight the idea of the painting again.

And Mike, who was a child, also guessed if it was a treasure map, and also asked his grandfather.

But he just laughed and said he didn't know.

This painting has been passed down for an unknown number of generations, and it is a family heirloom, but there seems to be nothing special about it.

And grandpa is a nostalgic person.

And this painting can be said to have witnessed the generations of their family, and it is strange that the father wants to sell it, and the grandfather can not be angry.

And now, he actually saw the exact same scene in another place, how could he not be surprised!?

But the painting in his house is not exactly the same as the scene in this photo.

In his painting, there is no lush woods in this photo, only bare land and a winding path that leads deep into the mountain peaks in the painting.

This made Mike's mood unable to calm down!
