This actor is full of tricks.

The room gradually quieted down. The phone stopped ringing. The landlady held the phone tightly, perhaps unsure how to continue, or perhaps trying to calm herself down.

Lin Jue remained silent for a moment, then decided to pretend he knew nothing and typed on his phone: "Your father? But your father isn't already..."

“Yes… but he came back.” The landlady slowly typed out a line: “In a state where he can be seen but not touched.”

"Just like you see, but I don't know what it is. Wherever my mother is, my father will appear from time to time."

“He kept repeating what he did in his life. No, rather than repeating, it was more like the imprint he left in this time and space, which was manifested one by one.”

"That's why I told you not to go out at night. After all, anyone would be scared if they saw someone suddenly appear at night."

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone else." Lin Jue sent a message. It didn't matter if he knew about this, but if ordinary people found out, the guesthouse business would only get worse and worse.

The landlady shook her head, and words appeared on the screen: "It doesn't matter whether I say it or not. I'll close the guesthouse at the end of the year and take my mother back to the countryside to recuperate."

Lin Jue sighed. Going to the countryside was fine; he could relax and there would be fewer people, so he might be able to escape the inevitable fate of the Child of the Mist.

He checked the time and realized that he had only been delayed by half an hour. If he went back up the mountain now, he should still have enough time.

"Thank you so much for today." Hearing the AI ​​voice on his phone, Lin Jue waved his hand, then slapped the drowsy Lie Zeng next to him: "Get up, let's go."

"Ah!" Lie Zeng wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth, his eyes still half-closed with sleep: "What's wrong, boss?"

"Keep climbing! Are you still going to watch the sunrise?" Lin Jue was speechless. This Lie Zeng was just a powerful version of an old man.

"Look! Why aren't you looking!" Lie Zeng hurriedly stood up: "Have you finished talking?"

"Let's go." Lin Jue picked up the cup next to him and drank the water that had cooled down in one gulp.

"The summit is very dangerous. Apart from mountaineers equipped with professional gear, ordinary people simply cannot make it to the top." The landlady typed quickly, trying to dissuade Lin Jue from his idea.

"It's okay, we're just going to try. If we really can't climb up, we can come back later."

Under the slightly worried gaze of the landlady, Lin Jue led Lie Zeng out the door. They had only taken a few steps when Xue Ying popped out of the bag: "Damn it, I was suffocating."

"Let's speed up and try to reach the top of the mountain within half an hour. Let's take this sunrise as the end of our trip. We've been out for more than half a month, it's time to go home."

Lin Jue laughed, released all the ghosts from his raincoat, and quickened his pace, dashing out in a flash: "Whoever reaches the top last treats us to hot pot!"

The group of ghosts were stunned. In their minds, Lin Jue always appeared calm and composed, and had never shown such childish behavior before.

"It seems this trip really relaxed the boss a lot," Lie Zeng shook his head and sighed, his eyes darting around. Before he could finish speaking, he ran wildly towards the mountaintop like a pig that had escaped its pen: "Anyway, I'm definitely not last."

"Wait for me!" Blood Shadow tugged at Wang Qingya's clothes, catching a ride.

The elderly kindergarten director stood there, heartbroken: "The leader of all the monsters on Yangtao Street, a vicious and monstrous creature at the pinnacle of evil, could still do something so childish." He then looked at Bi Zheng, who remained calm: "Young man, you're much more composed."

Before he could finish speaking, a black chain shot into the sky, spanning over a hundred meters, piercing through the snow and embedding itself in the ground. Using this as an anchor point, the chain swung violently, sending Bi Zheng flying and overtaking Lin Jue, who was in the lead.

The old director was dumbfounded; he was completely speechless.

"Don't they know how to give way to the elderly? What a bunch of brats who don't know how to respect the old and care for the young!" After saying that, he exerted force with his legs, and his strange A-level power burst forth, shooting out like a rocket.

"No, old man, why are you running so fast at your age!" Blood Shadow looked at the old kindergarten director who had quickly overtaken him.

"I have no money, I can't afford a hot pot dinner!" The old kindergarten director had no other thoughts in his eyes, only the desire for victory.

I used to live a listless and lethargic life, but today I'm determined to compete with the young people.

Bi Zheng was the first to almost reach the top of the mountain, but he was quite sensible and took a few steps back, letting Lin Jue behind him reach the top first.

Blood Shadow was left behind halfway up the mountain, pitifully covered in blood: "Boss, I don't have money to treat you guys to hot pot. That heartless Xiao Tian has squeezed me dry."

"Anything will do." Lin Jue opened his arms and looked at the golden sun slowly rising on the city skyline in the distance. He hadn't felt this relaxed in a long time.

All the negative emotions that had been dormant for so long seemed to vanish into thin air at this moment, evaporating little by little as the temperature rose. Everything was cleansed. Although it may seem like a waste of time, I have to admit that this trip was really worth it.

"gorgeous."

Even the vengeful spirit of Lie Zang couldn't help but sigh. There was no sunrise or sunset in the mist. Even after he came to the mortal world, he was always searching for his body and had no free time or thought whatsoever about watching a sunrise.

Lin Jue put his arm around Bi Zheng's shoulder: "So, are you satisfied with this trip?"

The golden morning light fell on Bi Zheng's face. His eyes trembled, and he opened his mouth as if he had a thousand words to say, but in the end he just nodded heavily.

At that moment, he truly understood what friendship meant.

As the sun broke through the sky, its rays pierced the clouds and shone evenly on every child's face. The old headmaster sighed, "They say the fairest thing in the world is the sun, because its light always shines on everyone."

"Forget about the sunshine for now, look over there, isn't something flying over there?" Blood Shadow, who had been looking mournful, suddenly pointed to the horizon on the other side.

Something flew over?
Lin Jue turned his head and looked over. There was indeed a dark object flying towards them on the horizon to the right of the sacred mountain.

As the thing drew closer, flames suddenly ignited in Lin Jue's pupils. He saw black mist, a black mist that blotted out the sky!

Within that vast expanse of black mist stood an old, dilapidated temple.
