[Jia Yu Mountain, Saddle boundary, 2019]
Anyone there?
Hello?
Who's there?
Wait!
Don't go.
Wait for me.
Hey.
- Is someone there?
- This way.
Is anyone there?
Is anyone inside?
Open the door!
Is there anyone inside?
Help!
Help...
Coming!
Who is it?
[Haunted Mountains: The Yellow Taboo]
[Jia Yu Mountain, Qi Yun Villa, 2024]
- Sorry.
- Sorry.
Have you guys heard?
This mountain has had many disasters.
They're probably just accidents.
Do you know how many people have
disappeared on this mountain this year?
He's trying to scare us
with ghost stories again.
This is real.
Didn't you see a temple
at the foot of the mountain?
Every time someone
disappears on the mountain...
they come up to perform a ritual.
- Do they come up for soul-calling ritual?
- Yeah.
I heard if it's not dealt with properly...
The weather will gradually worsen.
Take extra care when descending
from the south side.
Where do you think An Wei is right now?
Let's stop climbing this mountain.
Why?
An Wei disappeared here.
We have to let go of the past.
We don't need to keep coming back here.
But we still haven't found him yet.
It still weighs on both of us.
Come on. Let's head back down.
It's my first time seeing a dead body.
Me, too.
What happened?
Not sure. Seems like he fell this morning.
What's the situation?
His wife said she's coming to ID
the body, but she still hasn't shown up.
We've already got an
initial ID on the victim.
Roughly when did you come across the body?
Around 5:45 A.M. or so.
Come on, let's head back down.
I told you, this mountain is dangerous.
Jia Ming. It was just an accident.
Forget it, hurry up.
Let's just get out of here
and never come back.
Let's hurry.
Looks like it's going to rain.
Why doesn't this look like the way we came?
Really? It should be correct.
We're going in the right direction.
What is it?
It's nothing.
Yu Xin.
I think we're lost.
Why are we back here again?
Follow me.
We went that way earlier,
but ended up back here again.
Are you all right?
Where did he go?
He disappeared.
Where is he?
How is this possible?
Is the fog too thick,
or did he really walk that fast?
Here.
This way.
Yu Xin.
Over here.
Yu Xin!
- Yu Xin!
- Over here.
Yu Xin, wait! Yu Xin!
Yu Xin! Yu Xin!
Yu Xin!
Are you okay? Are you hurt?
No.
You're okay?
[Ri An Apartment 3F-10]
Do you know what our problem is?
Why do you want to marry me?
Because I want to give you a home.
I hope we can keep moving
forward, not be held back by the past.
But I didn't turn you
down because of An Wei.
Our decision to marry
has nothing to do with An Wei.
You want me to completely forget An Wei?
Never go up another mountain?
Forget it. Go to sleep.
Every time we talk about this,
you just avoid it.
Chen Jia Ming.
Who's the one who really
can't let go of An Wei?
An Wei, wait up.
Don't walk so fast.
We should be close.
Damn, what's this?
You're kidding me.
What kind of ritual is this?
It's probably fake.
An Wei.
Let's go back to our original route.
If we head back now, it'll get too dark.
But we might intrude on others
if we go this way.
It'll be fine.
The mountain doesn't belong to them.
Right?
Come on.
Come on.
Careful.
Come on.
Denying entry? How ridiculous.
Be careful.
- An Wei.
- What is this?
Are you all right?
Hurry. Go.
Jia Ming.
Yu Xin.
- Yu Xin!
- Chen Jia Ming.
Jia Ming.
Jia Ming.
Yu Xin.
Yu Xin.
Chen Jia Ming.
Yu Xin, where are you? Yu Xin!
Yu Xin!
Yu Xin!
Yu Xin! Yu Xin! Yu Xin,
where are you going?
Yu Xin!
Yu Xin!
Yu Xin!
What are you doing? Come down, Yu Xin!
Yu Xin! What are you doing?
It's dangerous. Come down first.
Give me your hand...
Come down.
Give me your hand.
Yu Xin!
Do you know how many people have
disappeared on this mountain this year?
He's trying to scare us
with ghost stories again.
It's very dangerous up there.
There are tons of taboos.
- Sorry.
- Scared me.
I heard it happened on this mountain.
What's wrong?
It's nothing.
I had a nightmare.
His wife is here. The deceased's
identity has been confirmed.
Prepare the helicopter for hoisting.
Roughly when did you come across the body?
Ever since Yu Xin jumped off the building,
I've been waking up to the same day.
At first I thought it was a nightmare,
but it just kept repeating.
Yu Xin.
Yu Xin!
Yu Xin...
Be careful.
What's wrong? You're scaring me.
I tried everything but nothing worked.
She still kept dying right in front of me.
What can I do?
What can I do?
What can I do?
What can I do to stop her from dying?
What can I do to stop all this?
What can I do to stop all this?
Why are we driving all this way?
Aren't we going home?
Here is your room key.
Thank you.
I'll take it.
Come on.
Excuse us.
Excuse us...
What's wrong with you today?
Are you feeling unwell?
Want to go see a doctor?
It's fine.
There are plenty of clinics around here.
No.
What is it?
We can't use our phones.
We're not going anywhere today.
We really can't go hiking again.
What do you mean?
We must forget about An Wei.
Let's move. Let's start over, okay?
Jia Ming, can you calm down first?
If you're bothered about
my hiking plans, just tell me.
It's not me.
It's An Wei.
An Wei keeps following us.
How can An Wei be following us?
He's...
Chen Jia Ming.
Look at me.
What happened to An Wei was an accident.
If you can't move on, we'll
never have a future together.
- What's wrong?
- My foot.
He sprained it.
We really are lost.
I still can't figure out our direction.
What do we do?
Let An Wei rest for a bit.
We've been hiking for a long time.
I'll stay here with him.
No. You're no different.
You're also in danger right now.
Jia Ming.
Will we die here?
What are you talking about?
Nothing will happen to us. Okay?
We'll find our way soon, right?
Jia Ming, tell us.
Right? Tell us.
If only I were the one who disappeared,
at least you'd be safe now.
What are you talking about?
If An Wei hadn't died,
you wouldn't be with me, right?
Get some rest first.
Thank you.
Yu Xin.
Yu Xin.
Yu Xin.
Yu Xin.
Yu Xin!
I must have missed something.
There must be another way.
Do you know how many people have
disappeared on this mountain this year?
He's trying to scare us
with ghost stories again.
Didn't you see a temple
at the foot of the mountain?
Every time someone
disappears on the mountain...
they come up to perform a ritual.
Scared me.
- And then?
- I heard if it's not dealt with properly,
there will be more accidents.
Taiwan once had a major mountain
disaster that killed over a hundred people.
Couldn't even find all the bodies.
According to legend, if you get lost...
Are you talking about the Yellow Taboo?
If you really run into it,
you have to descend the mountain
and visit that temple.
- Cut it out!
- Did you actually believe that?
Several years ago,
college students went missing
after sticking a cigarette
on the ground and praying.
Okay. I'll handle it later.
- The one on the mountain.
- I know, the one that...
What happened?
I think we came across
something evil in the mountains.
She's been acting strange ever
since, constantly wanting to follow it.
A vengeful spirit clings to her.
It followed you deep in the mountains.
What can we do?
[Exorcism incantation]
[Exorcism incantation]
[Exorcism incantation]
[Exorcism incantation]
Yu Xin...
[Exorcism incantation]
Yu Xin.
Come on, are you all right?
She should be fine for now.
Did you leave something
unresolved up on the mountain?
Thank you, Master.
We're leaving.
What was he talking about?
Don't be so nervous.
I was probably just tired,
and a little out of it.
Yu Xin.
I saw An Wei.
Do you know what you're saying?
Not wanting me up the
mountains is one thing,
but now you're saying An Wei's ghost
wants to harm me?
I messed up.
It's all my fault.
Chen Jia Ming, our relationship
has nothing to do with him.
Look, I'm fine now.
The ritual is over. Let's go home.
I'll drive.
Yu Xin.
Are you okay?
I'm okay.
I'm fine.
Yu Xin!
Yu Xin!
Yu Xin!
Yu Xin...
What's wrong?
What happened?
What is it?
I don't want to lose you again.
- What?
- I'm sorry.
When was the last time
you saw Zhang An Wei?
I can't remember.
I never saw him again after we got lost.
Okay, well...
Do your best to remember
where you parted ways.
This will help with our search.
I'm sorry.
Back then, I didn't tell
the rescue team where he was.
- It's my fault.
- Listen to me.
We were lost.
Nobody knew where he was.
I keep seeing An Wei.
We are trapped.
Yu Xin.
Come with me.
I can prove to you we've been
reliving this day over and over.
Soon, someone dressed in pink will come in.
Sorry.
They're telling ghost stories.
Several years ago,
college students went missing
after sticking a cigarette
on the ground and praying.
He's trying to scare us
with ghost stories again.
This lady will trip over.
Careful.
Next, the walkie-talkie.
Kui, that weirdo is on the mountain again.
Go deal with them.
And someone will die on the mountain.
This day keeps repeating...
But I really don't feel anything.
Careful.
Hang on.
Something is different.
Every time I wake up,
he's already gone up the mountain.
No matter what, I can
never make it in time.
But we're the only ones
who keep reliving this day.
We must be connected somehow.
Why does he keep dying on the mountain?
My son disappeared five years ago.
[Missing Person Notice]
Sir.
Excuse me. Have you seen this person?
Have you seen him before?
His name is Zhang Yan Ting.
He's my son. He's 1.84 meters tall,
and was wearing a khaki colored jacket.
Have you seen him in the past few days?
He's my son, Zhang Yan Ting.
He would've left an impression.
I tried all kinds of things,
but nothing worked.
I've heard that if someone
goes missing on this mountain,
a soul-calling ritual must be performed
for the missing body to be found.
Master!
Can you please help me one more time?
But the master wouldn't help us again.
We couldn't find our son.
Hai Feng also became stranger and stranger,
locking himself in his room all day.
Hai Feng!
Hai Feng!
Hai Feng.
Can you please come out?
Go away!
I beg you...
Please come out.
One day, he said he'd
find our son by himself.
Where are you going?
Up the mountain again?
Zhang Hai Feng, don't go back there again.
- I don't want to lose you, too.
- Get lost!
He's our son.
Don't forget you still have me!
But there's no way he killed himself.
He would never do that to me.
I want to find out how he died.
Then maybe I can still save him.
Roughly when did you come across the body?
Around 5:45 A.M. or so.
Maybe we can work together.
Go back down with my girlfriend,
and I'll try staying up here
to find out how your husband died.
Okay.
She can stay over at my place.
Let's keep in touch.
He often wandered the mountain alone, so...
We all knew him as a weirdo.
At the time, we happened to be
preparing to descend,
so we came upon his
body up ahead over there.
Is it here?
Thank you.
Auntie, do you have any other family here?
It was just me and Hai Feng.
But even he has abandoned me now.
Has Jia Ming been in touch?
He hasn't contacted me yet.
I wonder how he's doing up there.
You must be hungry.
I'll make you something to eat.
It's okay. Auntie, there's really no need.
That's my son.
He said he was going hiking with friends,
and never came back again.
Zhang Hai Feng is all I have left.
Hello?
Hey, Auntie.
What happened with his soul-calling ritual?
Why do you ask?
I know why we're
trapped in an endless loop.
All of this is connected to your son.
What are you guys doing?
What do you mean?
What did you see?
Five years ago,
we were the ones who
intruded on the ritual.
So, you guys disrupted it.
What's going on over there?
Did something happen? Hello?
Say something!
I'm sorry.
We didn't mean to intrude on the ritual.
Could we be trapped in this loop
because of your son?
Don't blame everything on my son!
Even Hai Feng can't come back now.
Only you can save him.
You said you found the cliff.
Then go find Zhang Hai Feng
and bring him back to me.
What did you see when you were up there?
Ever since my son died,
Hai Feng spent a lot of time
up on the mountain.
But I don't believe he'd commit suicide.
He must've had a reason.
In these last few years,
Hai Feng wouldn't let me enter this room.
Are all these people who
went missing on the mountain?
He always believed these missing people
were trapped on the mountain.
What's this symbol?
I don't know what these
symbols mean either.
I know this place. I've been there.
That's the temple that
did the soul-calling ritual for us.
Who are you?
What are you doing here?
Master.
Has this person ever come to see you?
I know this person.
His son's soul-calling
ritual was unsuccessful.
I found this in his room.
I already told him it
can't be performed again.
This is too reckless.
What is this symbol used for?
A long time ago, there was a tragedy here.
A lot of people died.
Their bodies were not dealt with properly.
The entire mountain is shrouded
in vengeful energy.
Since then, unless this soul-calling ritual
is performed,
the missing body cannot be found.
This symbol is drawn on the offerings,
to let them know that these things
were prepared for them.
He was truly pitiful.
He couldn't accept that his son's remains
can never be found.
But by continuing to do this,
the vengeful spirits
will harm others instead.
Master, I already came to you before.
On the mountain, I encountered
many ghosts dressed in yellow raincoats.
What you saw were those vengeful spirits.
Right now, I just keep
reliving the same day over and over.
Is the vengeful energy doing this to me?
Wh-What do I do?
Listen.
If a person can't let go
of the obsession in their heart,
every day will be the same.
These vengeful spirits
choose certain people,
target certain people,
for a reason.
What can't you let go of?
These vengeful spirits
choose certain people,
target certain people for a reason.
What can't you let go of?
An Wei.
Are you okay?
When will the rescue team get here?
People at the mountain hut
would've noticed we're missing
and called the police.
They must be looking for us right now.
Don't give up.
I promise I'll get you off this mountain.
I'll try to get a signal.
Is someone there?
Help us.
Please...
Help us.
Yu Xin.
Yu Xin!
An Wei!
I'm sorry.
I couldn't get you off the mountain.
I just wanted to make sure Yu Xin was safe.
Sorry.
Yu Xin really doesn't know anything.
Please spare her.
I'll leave her.
I don't want anything.
I... accidentally pushed him.
That's why he died on the mountain.
Why are you suddenly confessing
to what happened five years ago?
I never forgot it.
The remains will be sent in for analysis.
If the DNA matches,
you'll be charged with negligent homicide.
Come on. Let's go.
I remember there was another survivor.
What's your relationship to her?
I'm sorry.
I... I couldn't save An
Wei on the mountain.
But I really tried my best.
Can you please forgive me?
Happy birthday to you...
Happy birthday.
Make a wish.
Don't abandon me.
Can a medic come up the mountain?
We have an unresponsive
female at Qi Yun Lodge.
Come back.
Get back here.
I promised I wouldn't abandon her.
Let me go!
Calm down.
Yu Xin!
Have you seen my girlfriend?
The girl who came here with me.
Have you seen the girl I was with?
What if I just can't let Yu Xin go?
What do you want to change right now?
Yu Xin. Wake up.
Get up.
Get up.
- Where are we going?
- I'll explain later.
Wait.
Where are we going?
Five years ago, we interrupted that ritual.
It's not over yet.
The father has gone crazy and
is still doing soul-calling rituals.
What does that have to do with us?
We have to stop him
from committing suicide.
You okay?
Zhang Hai Feng!
Zhang Hai Feng, wait!
Who are you?
How did you find this place?
We're the ones who interrupted
the soul-calling ritual.
Sorry.
Your apology is useless!
Because of you, I can't get my son back!
I'll do whatever you want.
But you must stop these rituals.
Listen to me!
You've been affected by vengeful spirits.
Even more people will be killed.
Don't come over!
Wait!
Please think about your son.
Your son wouldn't
want to see you like this.
What gives you the right to say that?
Tell me!
Because I... I was in a lot of pain, too.
We both lost someone important to us.
Do you know that because of you,
Xu Pin Lian keeps reliving this day?
Not just once.
Infinite times.
Every day, she wakes up looking for you.
Every day, she has to relive
the pain of your death.
Every day.
Let's go home.
All right?
Don't forget you still have me!
Zhang Hai Feng!
Jia Ming! Jia Ming!
Zhang Hai Feng!
Jia Ming.
Jia Ming.
What's that?
Come on...
Hurry!
Go...
Go...
Yu Xin.
- What's happening?
- Wait a second.
It hurts.
Let me carry you.
I'll carry you.
Let's go.
Listen to me.
Get off the mountain first.
I'll rest for a bit and
be right behind you.
No.
I know you're lying to me.
Here. Add pressure.
Let's get out of here together.
Come on.
Yu Xin.
Do you know... I really love you?
I do.
I really do.
But...
But I stole this chance to love you.
If I were only with you to heal,
then why haven't I broken up with you?
I was always afraid you didn't love me,
and I made you suffer because of it.
I really love you.
I really love you, all right?
Jia Ming.
I know you wanted to propose to me.
Get up. Come on,
propose to me, and I'll accept.
Okay?
Come on, propose to me.
Get up.
I've proposed to you so many times,
but you've always turned me down.
I accept.
I'll accept it now, okay?
Look.
I do.
I do. See?
I do.
Come on.
Let's go.
Let's get down together.
Don't go.
Jia Ming.
Jia Ming.
Chen Jia Ming, come back.
If you want to change fate,
you'll have to pay a heavy price.
Is someone there?
Help us.
Over here.
Please.
Help us.
Over here.
Yu Xin. No.
Yu Xin.
No!
An Wei!
It's over.
The patient got lost
hiking and is hypothermic.
Body temperature is unstable,
currently only 29 degrees Celsius.
Heart rate on the ECG is 44.
Blood pressure down to 85 over 65.
Did they find my boyfriend?
Chen Jia Ming. His name is Chen Jia Ming.
Did they find him?
The doctor said getting some
sun is good for your health.
Here.
It's been a year.
I promised An Wei I'd look after you.
Actually, I'm not doing this for An Wei.
I've liked you for a long time.
If things could start over,
I'd honestly just want you
and An Wei to be okay.
Seeing you like this now,
I honestly can't let go.
We have to return to the hospital,
so we can have another
picnic here tomorrow.
Eat something savory first,
then take your medicine.
Sandwich?
Okay.
I promise I'll get better.
Are you Chen Jia Ming's next-of-kin?
We should be close.
What's this?
You're kidding me.
What kind of ritual is this?
It's probably fake.
Let's go back to our original route.
If we head back now, it'll get too dark.
- It'll be fine.
- No!
What?
No.
Let's not go up the mountain today.
You're scared?
- Let's go.
- Just listen to me.
Let's go back.
Let's go back!
Then let's go.
It's all your fault.
We can't go up now because you overslept.
You didn't wake me.
What? I helped you set an alarm.
You know I love to sleep in.
Who pressed the snooze?
- You could've still woken me up.
- What?
You just wanted to sleep in yourself.
Thank God you're okay.
I just want you two to be safe.
He's so weird.
Yeah.
Probably in a bad mood.
Let's go home.
Okay.
Let's go.
He's upset?
Why?
So weird.

there's no turning back.]
[Jia Yu Mountain, Saddle boundary, 2019]
Anyone there?
Hello?
Who's there?
Wait!
Don't go.
Wait for me.
Hey.
- Is someone there?
- This way.
Is anyone there?
Is anyone inside?
Open the door!
Is there anyone inside?
Help!
Help...
Coming!
Who is it?
[Haunted Mountains: The Yellow Taboo]
[Jia Yu Mountain, Qi Yun Villa, 2024]
- Sorry.
- Sorry.
Have you guys heard?
This mountain has had many disasters.
They're probably just accidents.
Do you know how many people have
disappeared on this mountain this year?
He's trying to scare us
with ghost stories again.
This is real.
Didn't you see a temple
at the foot of the mountain?
Every time someone
disappears on the mountain...
they come up to perform a ritual.
- Do they come up for soul-calling ritual?
- Yeah.
I heard if it's not dealt with properly...
The weather will gradually worsen.
Take extra care when descending
from the south side.
Where do you think An Wei is right now?
Let's stop climbing this mountain.
Why?
An Wei disappeared here.
We have to let go of the past.
We don't need to keep coming back here.
But we still haven't found him yet.
It still weighs on both of us.
Come on. Let's head back down.
It's my first time seeing a dead body.
Me, too.
What happened?
Not sure. Seems like he fell this morning.
What's the situation?
His wife said she's coming to ID
the body, but she still hasn't shown up.
We've already got an
initial ID on the victim.
Roughly when did you come across the body?
Around 5:45 A.M. or so.
Come on, let's head back down.
I told you, this mountain is dangerous.
Jia Ming. It was just an accident.
Forget it, hurry up.
Let's just get out of here
and never come back.
Let's hurry.
Looks like it's going to rain.
Why doesn't this look like the way we came?
Really? It should be correct.
We're going in the right direction.
What is it?
It's nothing.
Yu Xin.
I think we're lost.
Why are we back here again?
Follow me.
We went that way earlier,
but ended up back here again.
Are you all right?
Where did he go?
He disappeared.
Where is he?
How is this possible?
Is the fog too thick,
or did he really walk that fast?
Here.
This way.
Yu Xin.
Over here.
Yu Xin!
- Yu Xin!
- Over here.
Yu Xin, wait! Yu Xin!
Yu Xin! Yu Xin!
Yu Xin!
Are you okay? Are you hurt?
No.
You're okay?
[Ri An Apartment 3F-10]
Do you know what our problem is?
Why do you want to marry me?
Because I want to give you a home.
I hope we can keep moving
forward, not be held back by the past.
But I didn't turn you
down because of An Wei.
Our decision to marry
has nothing to do with An Wei.
You want me to completely forget An Wei?
Never go up another mountain?
Forget it. Go to sleep.
Every time we talk about this,
you just avoid it.
Chen Jia Ming.
Who's the one who really
can't let go of An Wei?
An Wei, wait up.
Don't walk so fast.
We should be close.
Damn, what's this?
You're kidding me.
What kind of ritual is this?
It's probably fake.
An Wei.
Let's go back to our original route.
If we head back now, it'll get too dark.
But we might intrude on others
if we go this way.
It'll be fine.
The mountain doesn't belong to them.
Right?
Come on.
Come on.
Careful.
Come on.
Denying entry? How ridiculous.
Be careful.
- An Wei.
- What is this?
Are you all right?
Hurry. Go.
Jia Ming.
Yu Xin.
- Yu Xin!
- Chen Jia Ming.
Jia Ming.
Jia Ming.
Yu Xin.
Yu Xin.
Chen Jia Ming.
Yu Xin, where are you? Yu Xin!
Yu Xin!
Yu Xin!
Yu Xin! Yu Xin! Yu Xin,
where are you going?
Yu Xin!
Yu Xin!
Yu Xin!
What are you doing? Come down, Yu Xin!
Yu Xin! What are you doing?
It's dangerous. Come down first.
Give me your hand...
Come down.
Give me your hand.
Yu Xin!
Do you know how many people have
disappeared on this mountain this year?
He's trying to scare us
with ghost stories again.
It's very dangerous up there.
There are tons of taboos.
- Sorry.
- Scared me.
I heard it happened on this mountain.
What's wrong?
It's nothing.
I had a nightmare.
His wife is here. The deceased's
identity has been confirmed.
Prepare the helicopter for hoisting.
Roughly when did you come across the body?
Ever since Yu Xin jumped off the building,
I've been waking up to the same day.
At first I thought it was a nightmare,
but it just kept repeating.
Yu Xin.
Yu Xin!
Yu Xin...
Be careful.
What's wrong? You're scaring me.
I tried everything but nothing worked.
She still kept dying right in front of me.
What can I do?
What can I do?
What can I do?
What can I do to stop her from dying?
What can I do to stop all this?
What can I do to stop all this?
Why are we driving all this way?
Aren't we going home?
Here is your room key.
Thank you.
I'll take it.
Come on.
Excuse us.
Excuse us...
What's wrong with you today?
Are you feeling unwell?
Want to go see a doctor?
It's fine.
There are plenty of clinics around here.
No.
What is it?
We can't use our phones.
We're not going anywhere today.
We really can't go hiking again.
What do you mean?
We must forget about An Wei.
Let's move. Let's start over, okay?
Jia Ming, can you calm down first?
If you're bothered about
my hiking plans, just tell me.
It's not me.
It's An Wei.
An Wei keeps following us.
How can An Wei be following us?
He's...
Chen Jia Ming.
Look at me.
What happened to An Wei was an accident.
If you can't move on, we'll
never have a future together.
- What's wrong?
- My foot.
He sprained it.
We really are lost.
I still can't figure out our direction.
What do we do?
Let An Wei rest for a bit.
We've been hiking for a long time.
I'll stay here with him.
No. You're no different.
You're also in danger right now.
Jia Ming.
Will we die here?
What are you talking about?
Nothing will happen to us. Okay?
We'll find our way soon, right?
Jia Ming, tell us.
Right? Tell us.
If only I were the one who disappeared,
at least you'd be safe now.
What are you talking about?
If An Wei hadn't died,
you wouldn't be with me, right?
Get some rest first.
Thank you.
Yu Xin.
Yu Xin.
Yu Xin.
Yu Xin.
Yu Xin!
I must have missed something.
There must be another way.
Do you know how many people have
disappeared on this mountain this year?
He's trying to scare us
with ghost stories again.
Didn't you see a temple
at the foot of the mountain?
Every time someone
disappears on the mountain...
they come up to perform a ritual.
Scared me.
- And then?
- I heard if it's not dealt with properly,
there will be more accidents.
Taiwan once had a major mountain
disaster that killed over a hundred people.
Couldn't even find all the bodies.
According to legend, if you get lost...
Are you talking about the Yellow Taboo?
If you really run into it,
you have to descend the mountain
and visit that temple.
- Cut it out!
- Did you actually believe that?
Several years ago,
college students went missing
after sticking a cigarette
on the ground and praying.
Okay. I'll handle it later.
- The one on the mountain.
- I know, the one that...
What happened?
I think we came across
something evil in the mountains.
She's been acting strange ever
since, constantly wanting to follow it.
A vengeful spirit clings to her.
It followed you deep in the mountains.
What can we do?
[Exorcism incantation]
[Exorcism incantation]
[Exorcism incantation]
[Exorcism incantation]
Yu Xin...
[Exorcism incantation]
Yu Xin.
Come on, are you all right?
She should be fine for now.
Did you leave something
unresolved up on the mountain?
Thank you, Master.
We're leaving.
What was he talking about?
Don't be so nervous.
I was probably just tired,
and a little out of it.
Yu Xin.
I saw An Wei.
Do you know what you're saying?
Not wanting me up the
mountains is one thing,
but now you're saying An Wei's ghost
wants to harm me?
I messed up.
It's all my fault.
Chen Jia Ming, our relationship
has nothing to do with him.
Look, I'm fine now.
The ritual is over. Let's go home.
I'll drive.
Yu Xin.
Are you okay?
I'm okay.
I'm fine.
Yu Xin!
Yu Xin!
Yu Xin!
Yu Xin...
What's wrong?
What happened?
What is it?
I don't want to lose you again.
- What?
- I'm sorry.
When was the last time
you saw Zhang An Wei?
I can't remember.
I never saw him again after we got lost.
Okay, well...
Do your best to remember
where you parted ways.
This will help with our search.
I'm sorry.
Back then, I didn't tell
the rescue team where he was.
- It's my fault.
- Listen to me.
We were lost.
Nobody knew where he was.
I keep seeing An Wei.
We are trapped.
Yu Xin.
Come with me.
I can prove to you we've been
reliving this day over and over.
Soon, someone dressed in pink will come in.
Sorry.
They're telling ghost stories.
Several years ago,
college students went missing
after sticking a cigarette
on the ground and praying.
He's trying to scare us
with ghost stories again.
This lady will trip over.
Careful.
Next, the walkie-talkie.
Kui, that weirdo is on the mountain again.
Go deal with them.
And someone will die on the mountain.
This day keeps repeating...
But I really don't feel anything.
Careful.
Hang on.
Something is different.
Every time I wake up,
he's already gone up the mountain.
No matter what, I can
never make it in time.
But we're the only ones
who keep reliving this day.
We must be connected somehow.
Why does he keep dying on the mountain?
My son disappeared five years ago.
[Missing Person Notice]
Sir.
Excuse me. Have you seen this person?
Have you seen him before?
His name is Zhang Yan Ting.
He's my son. He's 1.84 meters tall,
and was wearing a khaki colored jacket.
Have you seen him in the past few days?
He's my son, Zhang Yan Ting.
He would've left an impression.
I tried all kinds of things,
but nothing worked.
I've heard that if someone
goes missing on this mountain,
a soul-calling ritual must be performed
for the missing body to be found.
Master!
Can you please help me one more time?
But the master wouldn't help us again.
We couldn't find our son.
Hai Feng also became stranger and stranger,
locking himself in his room all day.
Hai Feng!
Hai Feng!
Hai Feng.
Can you please come out?
Go away!
I beg you...
Please come out.
One day, he said he'd
find our son by himself.
Where are you going?
Up the mountain again?
Zhang Hai Feng, don't go back there again.
- I don't want to lose you, too.
- Get lost!
He's our son.
Don't forget you still have me!
But there's no way he killed himself.
He would never do that to me.
I want to find out how he died.
Then maybe I can still save him.
Roughly when did you come across the body?
Around 5:45 A.M. or so.
Maybe we can work together.
Go back down with my girlfriend,
and I'll try staying up here
to find out how your husband died.
Okay.
She can stay over at my place.
Let's keep in touch.
He often wandered the mountain alone, so...
We all knew him as a weirdo.
At the time, we happened to be
preparing to descend,
so we came upon his
body up ahead over there.
Is it here?
Thank you.
Auntie, do you have any other family here?
It was just me and Hai Feng.
But even he has abandoned me now.
Has Jia Ming been in touch?
He hasn't contacted me yet.
I wonder how he's doing up there.
You must be hungry.
I'll make you something to eat.
It's okay. Auntie, there's really no need.
That's my son.
He said he was going hiking with friends,
and never came back again.
Zhang Hai Feng is all I have left.
Hello?
Hey, Auntie.
What happened with his soul-calling ritual?
Why do you ask?
I know why we're
trapped in an endless loop.
All of this is connected to your son.
What are you guys doing?
What do you mean?
What did you see?
Five years ago,
we were the ones who
intruded on the ritual.
So, you guys disrupted it.
What's going on over there?
Did something happen? Hello?
Say something!
I'm sorry.
We didn't mean to intrude on the ritual.
Could we be trapped in this loop
because of your son?
Don't blame everything on my son!
Even Hai Feng can't come back now.
Only you can save him.
You said you found the cliff.
Then go find Zhang Hai Feng
and bring him back to me.
What did you see when you were up there?
Ever since my son died,
Hai Feng spent a lot of time
up on the mountain.
But I don't believe he'd commit suicide.
He must've had a reason.
In these last few years,
Hai Feng wouldn't let me enter this room.
Are all these people who
went missing on the mountain?
He always believed these missing people
were trapped on the mountain.
What's this symbol?
I don't know what these
symbols mean either.
I know this place. I've been there.
That's the temple that
did the soul-calling ritual for us.
Who are you?
What are you doing here?
Master.
Has this person ever come to see you?
I know this person.
His son's soul-calling
ritual was unsuccessful.
I found this in his room.
I already told him it
can't be performed again.
This is too reckless.
What is this symbol used for?
A long time ago, there was a tragedy here.
A lot of people died.
Their bodies were not dealt with properly.
The entire mountain is shrouded
in vengeful energy.
Since then, unless this soul-calling ritual
is performed,
the missing body cannot be found.
This symbol is drawn on the offerings,
to let them know that these things
were prepared for them.
He was truly pitiful.
He couldn't accept that his son's remains
can never be found.
But by continuing to do this,
the vengeful spirits
will harm others instead.
Master, I already came to you before.
On the mountain, I encountered
many ghosts dressed in yellow raincoats.
What you saw were those vengeful spirits.
Right now, I just keep
reliving the same day over and over.
Is the vengeful energy doing this to me?
Wh-What do I do?
Listen.
If a person can't let go
of the obsession in their heart,
every day will be the same.
These vengeful spirits
choose certain people,
target certain people,
for a reason.
What can't you let go of?
These vengeful spirits
choose certain people,
target certain people for a reason.
What can't you let go of?
An Wei.
Are you okay?
When will the rescue team get here?
People at the mountain hut
would've noticed we're missing
and called the police.
They must be looking for us right now.
Don't give up.
I promise I'll get you off this mountain.
I'll try to get a signal.
Is someone there?
Help us.
Please...
Help us.
Yu Xin.
Yu Xin!
An Wei!
I'm sorry.
I couldn't get you off the mountain.
I just wanted to make sure Yu Xin was safe.
Sorry.
Yu Xin really doesn't know anything.
Please spare her.
I'll leave her.
I don't want anything.
I... accidentally pushed him.
That's why he died on the mountain.
Why are you suddenly confessing
to what happened five years ago?
I never forgot it.
The remains will be sent in for analysis.
If the DNA matches,
you'll be charged with negligent homicide.
Come on. Let's go.
I remember there was another survivor.
What's your relationship to her?
I'm sorry.
I... I couldn't save An
Wei on the mountain.
But I really tried my best.
Can you please forgive me?
Happy birthday to you...
Happy birthday.
Make a wish.
Don't abandon me.
Can a medic come up the mountain?
We have an unresponsive
female at Qi Yun Lodge.
Come back.
Get back here.
I promised I wouldn't abandon her.
Let me go!
Calm down.
Yu Xin!
Have you seen my girlfriend?
The girl who came here with me.
Have you seen the girl I was with?
What if I just can't let Yu Xin go?
What do you want to change right now?
Yu Xin. Wake up.
Get up.
Get up.
- Where are we going?
- I'll explain later.
Wait.
Where are we going?
Five years ago, we interrupted that ritual.
It's not over yet.
The father has gone crazy and
is still doing soul-calling rituals.
What does that have to do with us?
We have to stop him
from committing suicide.
You okay?
Zhang Hai Feng!
Zhang Hai Feng, wait!
Who are you?
How did you find this place?
We're the ones who interrupted
the soul-calling ritual.
Sorry.
Your apology is useless!
Because of you, I can't get my son back!
I'll do whatever you want.
But you must stop these rituals.
Listen to me!
You've been affected by vengeful spirits.
Even more people will be killed.
Don't come over!
Wait!
Please think about your son.
Your son wouldn't
want to see you like this.
What gives you the right to say that?
Tell me!
Because I... I was in a lot of pain, too.
We both lost someone important to us.
Do you know that because of you,
Xu Pin Lian keeps reliving this day?
Not just once.
Infinite times.
Every day, she wakes up looking for you.
Every day, she has to relive
the pain of your death.
Every day.
Let's go home.
All right?
Don't forget you still have me!
Zhang Hai Feng!
Jia Ming! Jia Ming!
Zhang Hai Feng!
Jia Ming.
Jia Ming.
What's that?
Come on...
Hurry!
Go...
Go...
Yu Xin.
- What's happening?
- Wait a second.
It hurts.
Let me carry you.
I'll carry you.
Let's go.
Listen to me.
Get off the mountain first.
I'll rest for a bit and
be right behind you.
No.
I know you're lying to me.
Here. Add pressure.
Let's get out of here together.
Come on.
Yu Xin.
Do you know... I really love you?
I do.
I really do.
But...
But I stole this chance to love you.
If I were only with you to heal,
then why haven't I broken up with you?
I was always afraid you didn't love me,
and I made you suffer because of it.
I really love you.
I really love you, all right?
Jia Ming.
I know you wanted to propose to me.
Get up. Come on,
propose to me, and I'll accept.
Okay?
Come on, propose to me.
Get up.
I've proposed to you so many times,
but you've always turned me down.
I accept.
I'll accept it now, okay?
Look.
I do.
I do. See?
I do.
Come on.
Let's go.
Let's get down together.
Don't go.
Jia Ming.
Jia Ming.
Chen Jia Ming, come back.
If you want to change fate,
you'll have to pay a heavy price.
Is someone there?
Help us.
Over here.
Please.
Help us.
Over here.
Yu Xin. No.
Yu Xin.
No!
An Wei!
It's over.
The patient got lost
hiking and is hypothermic.
Body temperature is unstable,
currently only 29 degrees Celsius.
Heart rate on the ECG is 44.
Blood pressure down to 85 over 65.
Did they find my boyfriend?
Chen Jia Ming. His name is Chen Jia Ming.
Did they find him?
The doctor said getting some
sun is good for your health.
Here.
It's been a year.
I promised An Wei I'd look after you.
Actually, I'm not doing this for An Wei.
I've liked you for a long time.
If things could start over,
I'd honestly just want you
and An Wei to be okay.
Seeing you like this now,
I honestly can't let go.
We have to return to the hospital,
so we can have another
picnic here tomorrow.
Eat something savory first,
then take your medicine.
Sandwich?
Okay.
I promise I'll get better.
Are you Chen Jia Ming's next-of-kin?
We should be close.
What's this?
You're kidding me.
What kind of ritual is this?
It's probably fake.
Let's go back to our original route.
If we head back now, it'll get too dark.
- It'll be fine.
- No!
What?
No.
Let's not go up the mountain today.
You're scared?
- Let's go.
- Just listen to me.
Let's go back.
Let's go back!
Then let's go.
It's all your fault.
We can't go up now because you overslept.
You didn't wake me.
What? I helped you set an alarm.
You know I love to sleep in.
Who pressed the snooze?
- You could've still woken me up.
- What?
You just wanted to sleep in yourself.
Thank God you're okay.
I just want you two to be safe.
He's so weird.
Yeah.
Probably in a bad mood.
Let's go home.
Okay.
Let's go.
He's upset?
Why?
So weird.
