          Here?

　　Yi Xun's sight went down until it finally reached the closing signature and was startled. The hand holding the paper shook slightly, an unbelievable light flashing through his eyes.

　　Ling!

　　The letter was unexpectedly signed by Ling!

　　But, Ling.

　　He passed away ten years ago ah!

　　"Ah Xun, tomorrow I will wait for you here, you must not forget ah."

　　"Don't worry la, I definitely won't. I promise."

　　From Yi Xun's mind suddenly emerged this conversation.

　Along with this bit of conversation, a piece of memory that was lying down in the dust slowly floated out in Yi Xun's mind.

　　He remembered.

　　That day was the last time that Ling and him had met with each other.

　　At the same time, it was also their last promise.

　　However, where was actually 'here'?

　　Why?

　　Why couldn't he remember at all?!

　　Yi Xun solemnly folded the letter and put it back in the envelope, then placed it on the upper layer of his drawer's contents. Afterwards, he slowly moved to the side of the window.

　　Cool wind blew in. His original dizzy head became slightly clearer.

　　The elderly in the small town once said, they had resided here for many generations. Together with all the living creatures in the mountain, they received the care of the mountain god.

　　Yet, if someone had offended the mountain god's prestige, that person would become the offering to appease the mountain god's anger.

　　Therefore, according to the townspeople's belief, Ling's death was the result of him offending the mountain god. Only then did he die.

　　But how was that possible?

　　Yi Xun could not recall much. Despite that, with the few memories he could recall, Ling absolutely was not that kind of person.

　　Yi Xun looked at the wall where a picture was hung. It showed a young boy wearing summer clothing looking at the camera with a happy face. The young boy's hands were in a position of holding someone in a hug, however, there was no one there.

　　In their small town, it was rare for people to die alone. Yet the strange thing was, the day after Ling's death, there was no discussion of this person at all. Towards the name of 'Ling', it seemed unfamiliar. Everything concerning Ling faded away as if this person had never existed.

　Except for him.

　　"Ling, is it really you?" Yi Xun asked, in a low voice.

　　Was it you who wrote a letter for me?

　　But, this translation belongs to BloomingTranslations, please read it there

　　If you had really written it,

　　Then why didn't you show up?

　　Why didn't you come and look for me?

　　Could it be...

　　This is just someone's prank?

　　After coming up with that conclusion, Yi Xun felt a little breathless.

　　While distracted, he suddenly recalled what was written in the letter: Ling was waiting for him.

　　Regardless of the mail being real or fake, there was no harm in going and taking a look.

　　The most important thing was, first, to understand where exactly was 'here'.

         "It looks like I have to find out clearly what exactly happened back then."
