"the dead leave no trace - only resentment."

"They haunt the forest, corrupting minds,"

"seeking trespassers to appease their wrath."

"One wrong step - and 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 Lodge, 2024"

Sorry.

Have you guys heard?

This mountain has had many disasters.

They're probably just accidents.

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?

Didn't you see a temple at the foot of the mountain?

Every time someone disappears on the mountain,

they all come up to perform a ritual.

Are they coming 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 not climb this mountain anymore.

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?

Probably

around 5:40 a.m,

5:45 a.m. or so.

Come on, let's head back down.

I told you this mountain is dangerous.

Chia-ming.

It was just an accident.

Forget it, hurry up.

Let's just get out of here

and never come back.

Walk faster.

Looks like it's gonna rain.

Why doesn't this look like the way we came?

Really?

Should be okay. The direction is right.

What is it?

Nothing?

Yu-hsin.

I think we're lost.

How come we're 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-hsin.

Over here.

Yu-hsin!

Yu-hsin!

Over here.

Yu-hsin, wait!

Yu-hsin!

Yu-hsin!

Yu-hsin!

Yu-hsin!

Are you okay?

Are you hurt?

No.

You're okay?

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 turned you down

not because of An-wei.

Whether we get married or not

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 Chia-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.

What's this?

"Sacred Sealing Ritual - Do Not Enter"

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 disturb others if we go this way.

It'll be fine.

The mountain doesn't belong to them.

Right?

Come.

Come on.

Careful.

Come on.

How ridiculous.

Be careful.

An-wei.

What is this?

Are you all right?

Hurry.

Go.

Chia-ming.

Yu-hsin.

Yu-hsin!

Chen Chia-ming.

Chia-ming.

Chia-ming.

Yu-hsin.

Yu-hsin.

Chen Chia-ming.

Yu-hsin, where are you?

Yu-hsin!

Yu-hsin!

Yu-hsin!

Yu-hsin!

Yu-hsin!

Yu-hsin, where are you going?

Yu-hsin!

Yu-hsin!

Yu-hsin!

What are you doing?

Come down, Yu-hsin!

Yu-hsin!

What are you doing?

It's dangerous.

Come down first.

Your hand...

Come down.

Give me your hand.

Yu-hsin!

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's a lot of taboos.

Sorry.

Scared me.

I heard

it happened on this mountain.

What's wrong?

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-hsin 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-hsin.

Yu-hsin!

Yu-hsin...

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?

No need.

There's plenty of medical 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?

Chia-ming, can you just calm down first?

If me going hiking bothers you,

just tell me directly.

It's not me.

It's An-wei.

An-wei keeps following us.

How could An-wei be following us?

He's...

Chen Chia-ming.

Look at me.

What happened to An-wei was an accident.

If you can't let An-wei go,

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 too.

You're also in danger right now.

Chia-ming.

Will...

we die here?

What are you talking about?

Nothing will happen to us.

Okay?

We'll find our way soon, right?

Chia-ming, tell us.

Right?

Tell us.

If only I was the one who disappeared.

At least you'd be safe now.

What are you talking about?

If An-wei didn't die,

you wouldn't be with me, right?

Get some rest first.

Thank you.

Yu-hsin.

Yu-hsin.

Yu-hsin.

Yu-hsin.

Yu-hsin!

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 the temple

at the foot of the mountain?

Every time someone disappears on the mountain,

they all 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!

Don't tell me you actually believe it.

Few years ago,

The missing college students

who stick a cigarette on the ground and pray.

Okay.

I'll go handle it later.

The one on the mountain.

I knew that.

"San Wang Temple"

What happened?

I think we came across

something evil in the mountains.

She's acted 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-hsin...

(Exorcism incantation)

Yu-hsin.

Here.

Are you all right?

She should be okay for now.

Did you leave something unresolved up on the mountain?

Thank you, Master.

We're going now.

What was he talking about?

Don't be so nervous.

I was probably just tired,

and a little...

out of it.

Yu-hsin.

I saw An-wei.

Do you know what you're saying?

Not wanting me up the mountain is one thing,

but now you're saying

An-wet's ghost wants to harm me?

I was wrong.

It's all my fault.

Chen Chia-ming.

Me being with you

has nothing to do with him.

Look, I'm fine now.

The ritual is over.

Let's go home.

I'll drive.

Yu-hsin.

Are you okay?

I'm okay.

I'm okay.

Yu-hsin!

Yu-hsin!

Yu-hsin!

Yu-hsin...

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 Chang An-wei?

I can't remember.

I never saw him again after we got lost.

Okay, then...

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 in here.

Yu-hsin.

Come with me.

I can prove to you that

we've been reliving this day over and over.

Soon,

someone dressed in pink will come in.

Sorry.

They're telling ghost stories.

A few years ago,

some college students disappeared

after sticking cigarettes in the ground.

He's trying to scare us with ghost stories again.

This lady will trip over.

Careful.

Next, the walkie talkie.

Lao-kul.

That weirdo is on the mountain again.

Go handle it.

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.

Sir.

Excuse me.

Have you seen this person?

Have you seen him before?

His name is Chang Yen-ting.

He's my son.

He's 184 cm tall,

and was wearing a khaki-colored jacket.

Have you seen him in these last few days?

He's my son, Chang Yen-ting.

He would've left an impression.

I tried all kinds of things,

but nothing worked.

I've heard that,

missing on this mountain

a soul-calling ritual must be performed

before the missing body can be found?

Master!

Can you please help me one more time?

But the master wouldn't help us anymore.

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...

I beg you to come out.

One day,

he said he'd find our son by himself.

Where are you going?

Up the mountain again?

Chang 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 could still save him.

Roughly when

did you come across the body?

Probably

around 5:40 a.m,

5:45 a.m. or so.

Maybe we can work together.

You 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 Chia-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.

No need.

Auntie, there's really no need.

That's my son.

He said he was going hiking with friends,

and never came back again.

Chang 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,

it was us who intruded on the ritual.

So it was you guys who 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 last time that you found the cliff.

Then go find Chang Hai-feng

and bring him back to me.

What did you see last time 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 have a reason.

In these last few years,

Hai-feng wouldn't let me enter this room.

"Missing university hiker's body not found"

Are...

all these people missing on the mountain?

He always believed these missing people

are 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 been 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,

something very serious happened 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 instead harm others.

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.

Master.

Right now, I just keep

reliving the same day over and over.

Is the vengeful energy doing this to me?

What...

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-hsin.

Yu-hsin!

An-wei!

I'm sorry.

I couldn't get you off the mountain.

I just wanted to take care of Yu-hsin.

Sorry.

Yu-hsin really doesn't know anything.

Please let her go.

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 back then

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 a female in cardiac arrest at Qi-Yun Lodge.

Come back.

Get back here.

I promised her

I wouldn't abandon her.

Let me go!

Calm down.

Yu-hsin!

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-hsin go?

What do you want to change right now?

Yu-hsin.

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.

His 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?

Chang Hai-feng!

Chang 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.

This will end up killing even more people.

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?

What gives you the right?

Because I...

I was in a lot of pain too.

We both lost someone important to us.

Do you know that because of you,

Hsu Pin-lien 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.

Okay?

Don't forget you still have me!

Chang Hai-feng!

Chia-ming!

Chia-ming!

Chang Hai-feng!

Chia-ming.

Chia-ming.

What's that?

Go...

Hurry!

Go...

Go...

Yu-hsin.

What's happened?

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 go together.

Come on.

Yu-hsin.

Do you know...

Do you know I really love you?

I do.

I really do.

But...

But I...

only got the chance to love you by stealing it.

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, okay?

Chia-ming.

I know you wanted to propose.

Get up.

Get up and propose to me,

and I'll accept.

Okay?

Propose to me.

Get up.

I've proposed to you many times,

but you've always turned me down.

I accept.

I'll accept it now, okay?

Look.

I do.

You see?

I do.

Come on.

Let's go.

Let's go together.

Don't go.

Chia-ming.

Chia-ming.

Chen Chia-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-hsin.

No.

Yu-hsin.

No!

An-wei!

It's over.

The patient got lost hiking and is hypothermic.

Body temperature is unstable,

currently only 29°C.

Heart rate on the ECG is 44.

Blood pressure down to 85 over 65.

Did they find my boyfriend?

Chen Chia-ming.

His name is Chen Chia-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 didn't do it 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 you I'll get better.

Are you Chen Chia-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.

As long as you two are okay.

Is he being weird?

Yeah.

He's upset.

Let's go home.

Okay.

Let's go.

He's upset.

Why?

So weird.
