Making Love To A Spirit Under The Cypress Trees – A Journey of Discovery

Taipingshan National Forest

Making Love To A Spirit – The crimson sun was setting on the horizon, and night slowly embraced the picturesque Taipingshan National Forest in Taiwan. Night birds welcomed the dusk with their beautiful songs. As all visitors and tourists made their way out of the park, Kuan Lin, the lean and tall forest guard, did a final check before locking up.

The Atayal Tribe

Lin was an aborigine from the Atayal Tribe, raised in the rugged mountains of the National Park in the Rato District, also known as the “savage land.” There are only a few more than 80,000 men and women left in the tribe, and many were addicted to the local betel nuts.

Kuan Lin’s Solitude

Lin was a recluse, living in solitude in a cabin on the grounds of the National Forest, rarely communicating with anyone outside of his working hours. The forest kept him busy, and it paid enough to take care of himself. He found tranquility amidst the lush forest and the animals that made their home there.

Lin’s Tattoos and Eyes

Though lean and shy, his cheekbones, bearing the facial tattoos common among his tribe, drew attention as soon as anyone set their eyes on him. The art of the facial tattoos is generally a family design handed down from generation to generation, believed to help the spirits of the dead recognize their family. His deep brown eyes seemed to lack emotion initially, but a closer look revealed unfathomable grief.

Lin’s Hair and Traditions

Maybe that’s why he often avoids people’s eyes or any form of close communication. His straight black hair lightly grazes his shirt collar, usually wet with sweat, and covers his deeply alluring eyes beautifully. Lin still followed many traditions and beliefs of the Atayal. Whenever he finished work, he would adorn traditional dress rather than his ranger’s outfit.

The Unusual Sighting

As Kuan Lin was preparing to finish work for the day, he noticed something unusual. It wasn’t an animal presence; his bush instincts could detect animals easily. This was different. He heard light footsteps on the dried leaves and moved closer to inspect. Never one to back out of a daring situation, Kuan Lin felt a strange emotion washing over him.

The Sense of Danger

He couldn’t pinpoint the feeling but sensed danger. He hesitated for a moment, reevaluating if his mind was playing tricks on him again. He often had this feeling in the past few years. Maybe that’s why he stopped listening to his heart and mind. He didn’t want them to control him, not anymore.

An Unexpected Encounter

Kuan Lin summoned his courage and moved closer to the source of the noise. He discerned a faint silhouette of a woman. It was the same woman he had noticed staring at him frequently when she thought he wasn’t looking. Shu-Chen, a petite woman with a flawless, delicate face, had clearly led a life of ease. Her unblemished porcelain skin, pristine clothing, and soft features indicated that things had always come easily to her, and she seemed almost ethereal in the twilight of the forest.

Shu-Chen’s Hidden Gaze

Lingering behind a maple tree, Shu-Chen’s gaze remained fixed on Kuan Lin as he approached. Her not-so-surprised expression suggested she had deliberately stayed behind after her friends had left the park. As Kuan Lin neared her with a disinterested look, Shu-Chen stepped lightly from behind the tree, a smile on her face. She was athletic and trendy, with smooth skin, a trimmed body, and an impeccable complexion. Her long dark brown hair rested on her shoulders, cascading in waves that caught the last light of the setting sun. Standing at about 170 cm, she was tall for a Taiwanese woman, with a presence that commanded attention.

An Unwanted Surprise

Kuan Lin’s voice was clearly unamused as he asked, “What are you doing here? Your friends have left, and I am closing the park.”

Shu-Chen replied, “I wanted to be on my own, to clear my head, and they left without me.”

Kuan Lin was skeptical. It was obvious she had been waiting and watching him. She frequently visited the park to watch him, and Lin had often considered involving the police due to her unusual behavior. However, she had not done anything illegal or caused any real concern until now. The forest, usually his sanctuary, felt different with her presence, an intrusion that he couldn’t ignore.

A Bold Move

Lin said, “I am not sure whether to call the police and have them take you away or drive you into town myself. This is really disappointing.”

Rejection was new to Shu-Chen, and it made her more determined to uncover the man behind Kuan Lin’s mask. As he guided her out of the forest, Shu-Chen grabbed his arm, pulled him closer, and impulsively kissed him. Kuan Lin hesitated at first but eventually gave in to her beauty and charm. Her boldness surprised him, and he felt a spark that he had long suppressed.

Embracing Desire

Kuan Lin had not been shy about expressing his emotions, but the past three years had changed him. Pain had turned him from an innocent, optimistic romantic into a dark, mysterious, and cynical man. It had been over three years since Lin had kissed a woman. With Shu-Chen hugging him, he began to surrender to desire, and their kiss grew more passionate. The warmth of her body against his brought back memories he had buried deep within.

A Hesitant Retreat

However, Kuan Lin soon pulled away from her. Despite the passion in their kiss, Shu-Chen sensed his hesitation. It wasn’t that three years without kissing had made him out of practice. Kuan Lin had always been a passionate kisser and a good, sensitive lover, able to shift between gentle and rough in seconds. But now, even in the heat of the moment, his hesitation was palpable. The conflict within him was evident, and Shu-Chen could feel the walls he had built around his heart.

The Pain of the Past

Kuan Lin’s reluctance was rooted in a past filled with sorrow. He had loved deeply once, only to lose it all, leaving scars that ran deeper than any physical wound. Shu-Chen could see the pain in his eyes, a pain that mirrored her own. She wondered what had happened to make him this way. Her determination to break through his defenses grew stronger, knowing that behind his stoic exterior was a man who had once been capable of great love.

An Unexpected Connection

As they stood there in the fading light, surrounded by the ancient trees of the forest, Shu-Chen felt a connection with Kuan Lin that she couldn’t explain. It was as if their souls recognized each other, bound by a shared sense of loss and longing. She reached out to touch his face, her fingers tracing the lines of his cheekbones and the tattoos that told the story of his heritage. He didn’t pull away this time, allowing her touch to ground him in the present moment.

A Glimmer of Hope

For the first time in years, Kuan Lin felt a glimmer of hope. Shu-Chen’s touch was gentle yet insistent, breaking through the barriers he had erected around his heart. He realized that perhaps, in her, he had found a kindred spirit, someone who could understand his pain and help him heal. The forest, which had always been his refuge, now seemed to hold the promise of something more, something deeper and more profound than he had ever imagined.

Making Love To A Spirit

Torn Between Desire and Caution

This felt different. Something was holding Kuan Lin back, and the usual butterflies in his stomach felt like bats now, warning him of danger. He was torn between his desire and the urge to flee. However, nothing seemed stronger than the beauty of the woman standing in front of him, engulfed with lust and clearly needing him. Her presence was a potent force, drawing him in despite his internal conflict.

Into the Old Cabin

She asked, “What’s wrong?”

In a moment, Kuan Lin was pulling her towards the makeshift cabin he lived in near the ancient cypress tree, fabled to host many mountain spirits. Shu-Chen, excited to finally get her way, followed eagerly. The path to the cabin was narrow, flanked by tall, whispering trees that seemed to guard their secret journey. They entered the old cabin, and Kuan Lin quickly closed the door behind them.

The Passion Ignites

The wooden structure creaked under their movements, adding a rustic charm to the setting. He pulled Shu-Chen closer and kissed her so intensely that she had to grab onto the door for support. The initial hesitation had vanished, replaced by a yearning and desperation that made Shu-Chen even more invested in this encounter. The air between them was electric, charged with an intensity that neither had experienced before.

Exploring Each Other

Kuan Lin’s hands wandered from her face to her hair and then to her shoulders. His touch was both gentle and possessive, conveying a mix of tenderness and desire. He pulled her so close that not even air could come between them. It was as if he didn’t want to let her go. Shu-Chen, though no stranger to passion, felt something different this time. Her nerves began to get the better of her.

Drifting Into Thoughts

She drifted into her thoughts, recalling the last time she felt this way. Memories of her second boyfriend, who had once made her feel this intense passion, flashed before her eyes. His face, once a source of comfort and love, now seemed distant and irrelevant. But Kuan Lin’s tight hold on her waist brought her back to reality, grounding her in the present moment. She enjoyed the passionate kiss for a long time.

Hands Exploring

Kuan Lin’s hands soon found their way under her shirt, searching for more until they reached her lacy bra. His hands lingered there, cupping her perky breasts as if memorizing their feel. Each touch was deliberate, exploring every curve and contour with a reverence that made Shu-Chen’s heart race. He slowly slid his fingers under her bra strap, grazing her bare breasts and making his way to her nipples. Pleasure washed over him.

Admiring Beauty

For the first time, Kuan Lin truly noticed how incredibly beautiful she was. Her enticing black doe eyes contrasted starkly with her delicate pink lips. There was a depth in her gaze that spoke of unspoken desires and hidden fears. He yearned for her now, feeling an almost familiar sense of knowing her deepest thoughts and desires. Quickly, he unstrapped her bra and removed her orange tee-shirt, letting it fall to the wooden floor.

Embracing the Moment

The sound of the fabric hitting the ground was almost ceremonial, marking the beginning of their intimate journey. He took a moment to admire this young woman standing bare-breasted before him, looking adoringly at him. Her vulnerability and strength intertwined, creating a powerful allure that he could not resist. He gently took her in his arms and kissed her intently with a yearning he had denied himself for so long.

Giving In to Passion

Each kiss was a promise, a silent vow of the passion they were about to share. Shu-Chen kissed him back passionately, and soon his khaki ranger’s shirt joined the pile on the floor. The cabin felt alive with their energy, every creak and whisper of the wind outside adding to the symphony of their union. They made their way to the bed, a humble yet sacred space. It was Kuan Lin’s lips which were doing the exploring now.

Exploring Further

His kisses were a blend of hunger and tenderness, each one deepening their connection. He savored Shu-Chen’s sweet tongue, taking in everything she offered. His lips traveled to her neck, kissing and sucking gently and passionately. Her soft moans were music to his ears, encouraging him to continue his exploration. She could not wait to have all of him all over her body. As her hands unbuttoned his jeans, he grabbed onto her breasts, feeling the heat of her desire.

The room was filled with the sounds of their passion.

Overwhelming Desire

As Kuan Lin’s mouth reached her breasts, Shu-Chen’s anticipation made her wet between her legs. He kissed them gently, then continued to suck them with a passion unfamiliar to her. She made the slightest moan, which excited Kuan Lin even more. He proceeded to suck her nipples, increasing the intensity. As his mouth worked on her breasts, his hand moved to her pubic area to ensure Shu-Chen wanted him as much as he wanted her. Her wetness aroused him, and he could not wait to be inside her.

Deepening Intimacy

His hardness sought its way with her. He slowly slid his finger inside her, and she arched her back in pleasure. He pulled back and removed her jeans while watching her intently. Her parted, perfect pink lips invited him like a bee to a flower. He went down on her, gently licking both sides of her labia. The sweet smell of desire emanated from her. He slowly and gently licked her clit and then took it into his mouth as she moaned and gasped with desire.

Unleashing Passion

Before long, she cried out, “I’m coming,” and started orgasming, gushing all over Lin’s face. She apologized, “I am so sorry, you just turn me on so much.”

Lin smiled, “I loved it. It just shows me how much you were turned on.”

Lin stood up, quickly pulled on a condom over his erect penis, and thrust into her. With no hesitation and pure passion, they both got lost in the fact that they were strangers. Deep and quick thrusts made her pull hard at his hair while he enjoyed her moaning. The passion was unbridled, and Shu-Chen felt like a wild animal.

A Haunting Presence

Suddenly, it was different. He was no longer looking at Shu-Chen but at someone else. He recognized her immediately. It was Yi-Ling. How could he not recognize her? Kuan Lin could recognize Yi-Ling among a million faces. It couldn’t be possible. How could a girl who died three years ago in front of his eyes in the most horrible way be in his arms this very moment, staring back at him? This was insane. He pulled back quickly, falling over backward onto his rear end. Yi-Ling followed him, hugging and showering kisses over his face.

Struggling with Reality

Lin cried out, “No, this is not possible. Yi-Ling, you are dead!”

He turned away, not wanting to see what was in front of him, yet secretly desiring it was his departed lover. The bats in his stomach had turned to eagles. He felt sick, confused, and scared.

“I missed you, sweetheart,” she said softly in her beautiful voice.

He couldn’t resist but turn towards her and kiss her again. He had missed her taste for three years. But this was Shu-Chen, not Yi-Ling. Yi-Ling had possession of her. There was no denying that. He had so many questions pouring through his mind.

Unveiling the Mystery

Yi-Ling said, “I have watched you every day since my death. It has disturbed me that you have withdrawn from life, pining away the years remorsefully in my memory. I wanted you to move on.”

“How did you watch me?” he asked.

“You know how I died in this park, not far from here. As I was dying, my blood fell on and in the soil, sucked up by the roots of the cypress trees. Through your tribal beliefs, you know that the cypress tree is the sign of life. The trees have given me life in the thereafter. I could not bear to be without you, Lin.”

Rekindling the Past

Though it made no sense, his happiness got the better of him. They kissed again, making up for all the lost time. He was inside her again, thrusting harder than ever before. The woman he was inside was no longer a stranger to him. Kuan Lin knew her inside out. He knew what got her off. When he saw that he was dissolved with pleasure, she stopped, divining that if she deprived him now, he might make a gesture towards fulfillment. At first, he made no motion. His sex was quivering, and he was tormented with desire.

The Ultimate Climax

But then he held onto the headboard of the bed and thrust deeper and deeper, each thrust more profound than the one before, until both of them moaned and climaxed. Immediately after, Lin saw that the woman beneath him was Shu-Chen, motionless and not breathing. Petrified, Kuan Lin watched Shu-Chen with unbelieving eyes. The events that transpired today were unheard of. Buzzards filled his stomach as Shu-Chen gasped desperately for air and then slumped back into a catatonic state.

Seeking Solace

Lin had to go outside — anywhere but in this cabin — to get some air. He stood before the cypress tree and collapsed onto his knees, crying. After about half an hour, he returned to his cabin to find Shu-Chen awake and dressed, with a puzzled look on her face.

The forest seemed to hold its breath as Lin reentered the cabin. Shu-Chen’s eyes reflected confusion and concern, mirroring his own turmoil. The reality of what had happened weighed heavily on them both. The connection between them, once filled with passion and mystery, now felt fragile and uncertain. Lin knew that the answers he sought might never come, but he also understood that the bond they shared was unique and unbreakable.

As they stood there, enveloped by the ancient cypress trees and the secrets they held, Lin realized that the path ahead was uncertain. Still, it was one they would have to navigate together, no matter where it might lead.

Confrontation at the Cabin

Kuan Lin channeled his courage and stepped closer to the spot where the noises were coming from. He could make out a faint silhouette of a woman. It was Shu-Chen, the same woman who often stared at him when she thought he wasn’t looking. Her clear, flawless face was like a delicate flower, with soft features indicating a life of ease. Shu-Chen had always gotten what she wanted with little effort.

Unexpected Encounter

Hiding behind a maple tree, her longing gaze lingered on Kuan Lin as he approached. She had deliberately wandered away from her friends, who had now left the park. As Kuan Lin neared her with a clearly uninterested look, Shu-Chen stumbled out from behind the tree with a smile. Athletic and trendy, Shu-Chen was like a goddess with smooth skin, a trimmed body, and impeccable complexion. She was tall for a Taiwanese woman, perhaps 170 cm, and when she smiled, her perfect, symmetrical white teeth gleamed.

Confrontation

Kuan Lin, with an unamused voice, asked, “What are you doing here? Your friends have left. I am closing the park.”

Shu-Chen replied, “I wanted to be on my own, to clear my head. They left without me.”

Kuan Lin did not believe her and suspected she had been waiting for him. It was not uncommon for her to come to the park and watch him. Lin had considered talking to the police about her stalking behavior but decided against it since she had not caused any real concern until now.

Lin said, “I’m not sure whether to call the police or drive you into town myself. This is disappointing.”

Rejection was new to Shu-Chen, and she was determined to get to know the man behind the mask he wore for the world. As Kuan Lin guided her out of the forest, Shu-Chen grabbed his arm, pulled him closer, and impulsively kissed him. Though hesitant at first, Kuan Lin gave in to her beauty and charms. It had been more than three years since Lin had kissed a woman, and now, as Shu-Chen hugged him, the kissing became more passionate.

A Forbidden Kiss

Before Shu-Chen realized it, Kuan Lin was pulling away. Even in that passionate kiss, she could sense his hesitation. Kuan Lin had always been a passionate kisser and a sensitive lover, able to switch from gentle to rough in seconds. This hesitation felt different.

Shu-Chen asked, “What’s wrong?”

It took just a moment before Kuan Lin was pulling her towards his make-shift cabin near the ancient cypress tree, fabled to host many mountain spirits. Glad to finally be getting her way, Shu-Chen was beyond excited. They made their way into his old cabin. Kuan Lin quickly closed the door behind them and pulled Shu-Chen closer, kissing her intensely.

The Cabin Encounter

The initial hesitation vanished, replaced by a yearning and desperation that made Shu-Chen all the more invested in this brown-eyed man. Kuan Lin’s hands wandered from her face to Shu-Chen’s hair and then her shoulders. Before she even realized it, he was grabbing her closer, leaving no space between them. It was almost like Kuan Lin didn’t want to let her go.

Though she was no stranger to passion, this felt different for Shu-Chen. She could feel it within her, and that feeling was coming to the surface, demanding to be released. She drifted into her thoughts, sifting through memories of her second boyfriend who had shone through her life, beckoning her to all the wonderful moments they once shared.

Embracing Desire

Before she could relive those innocent times, Kuan Lin’s tight hold on her waist brought her back to reality. She enjoyed being kissed passionately for a long time. Soon, Kuan Lin’s exploring hands found their way under her shirt and started searching for more, until they reached her lacy bra. His hands lingered there, cupping her perky breasts as if studying them.

He slowly slid his fingers under her bra strap and grazed her bare breasts, making his way to her nipples. Pleasure washed over him as he recalled the last time he was this intimate with someone. But before he could remember, he shook off the feeling and looked at Shu-Chen intently.

The Transformation

It was the first time he actually noticed how incredibly beautiful she was. Her enticing black doe eyes were a stark contrast to her delicate pink lips. He yearned for her now – there was something – like a feeling of already being familiar or knowing her deepest thoughts and desires.

Kuan Lin quickly unstrapped her bra and removed her orange tee-shirt over her head, soon making its way to the wooden floor. He took a moment to admire this young woman who was standing bare-breasted before him, looking adoringly at him. He took her gently in his arms and kissed her intently with a yearning he had denied himself for so long. Shu-Chen kissed him back as his khaki ranger’s shirt made its way to the floor.

Passion Unleashed

They made their way to the bed. Kuan Lin’s lips were doing the exploring now, savoring Shu-Chen’s sweet tongue and taking in everything she could offer. He made his way to her neck, kissing and sucking gently, passionately. She couldn’t wait to get all of him all over her body. As her hands unbuttoned his jeans, he grabbed her breasts.

As Kuan Lin’s mouth moved to her breasts, Shu-Chen’s anticipation made her wet between her legs. He kissed them gently, then continued to suck with unfamiliar passion. She made the slightest moan, exciting Kuan Lin more. He proceeded to suck her nipples harder, and she moaned again. His mouth continued working on her breasts, and his hand went down to her pubic area, ensuring that Shu-Chen wanted him as much as he did.

Her wetness aroused him, and he could not wait to be inside her. His hardness demanded it. He slowly slid his finger inside her, making her arch her back in pleasure. He pulled back and removed her jeans while watching her intently. Her parted, perfect pink lips invited him like a bee to a flower.

Kuan Lin’s Conflict

She said, “What happened?”

Kuan Lin replied, “Do you not remember?”

She said, “The last thing I remember was being with my friends and now waking up naked in your bed. What has happened?”

Kuan Lin said, “I am going to take you home.”

A Quiet Drive

Lin drove her to her home in Yilan City with barely a word spoken. The next morning, Kuan Lin pretended that the previous day never happened and went about his duties, trying to wipe those events from his mind. However, around mid-afternoon, he noticed Shu-Chen approaching him. Before a word was spoken, she pulled him forcefully behind the maple tree, kissing him passionately. A familiar kiss that he could never forget even if he wanted to.

Unresolved Feelings

He pushed her away as she said, “It’s me, sweetheart,” with the voice of Yi-Ling. Quickly they made their way to his cabin, his carnal desire and need for pleasure getting the best of Kuan Lin. He shut down all his inhibitions and gave his deceased lover what she yearned for. Thrusting deep into her and hearing her moan was something he had missed dearly and something he couldn’t bring himself to do with any other girl until yesterday. As their bodies shivered and quivered, Kuan Lin couldn’t help but ponder over everything that was happening.

Questions Unanswered

How can Yi-Ling make love to me? Why does Shu-Chen not recall anything? He decided to have a conversation with her, but with whom would he be speaking, Shu-Chen or Yi-Ling? He decided to continue anyway.

Kuan Lin said as Shu-Chen woke up, “Why did you come here today?”

Shu-Chen said, “I do not know. I just have this overwhelming need to come to the National Forest. It is almost like pain if I do not give in and drive here.”

A Plea for Safety

Kuan Lin said, “You must stop this. For your own safety.”

She said, “What do you mean? I cannot.”

Not wanting to explain anything further, Kuan Lin convinced her that nothing was wrong and maybe she was just exhausted from the day before.

He said, “You can no longer visit me anymore. Do you hear me? I mean it.”

Shu-Chen began crying and said, “I understand.”

Unexpected Reunion

As evening approached, he went by the hot spring to ensure that all the tourists had left, but there was a surprise waiting for him there. It was Shu-Chen, and he had to look twice to make sure it was really her and not Yi-Ling. He approached her ever so cautiously, his looks giving away how sorry he felt for both of them. She jumped up at the sight of him and hugged him, and this time she was yearning for comfort. They exchanged sweet kisses, and before they realized it, they were half-naked in the hot spring.

Kuan Lin found a rock and made her sit on it, quickly removing her shorts and spreading her legs. The transition happened again, and he was with Yi-Ling. He licked her clit ever so gently, relishing her sweet nectar. She quivered and held on to his hair tightly. He then slowly inserted his tongue inside her and licked voraciously. She screamed out of pleasure, but in a sweet gentle voice, he couldn’t shake off.

The Proposal

This time, however, Yi-Ling remained after they had both cum and said, “Lin, you can have me and be with me forever.”

Lin asked, “How is that possible?”

She said, “If you sacrifice Shu-Chen to the spirits of the Cypress Tree and allow her blood to join their holy sap, they will reincarnate me in the body of Shu-Chen.” Lin was ready to do almost anything, but what was being contemplated here was the murder of an innocent young woman.

Yi-Ling said, “When she is gone, I will come back in her place. We will be together again.”

Ethical Dilemma

Lin said, “This is not like you, Yi-Ling. You were always a caring and loving person when you walked this earth. What you are suggesting is taking another life. This is not right. I cannot be a part of it.”

Yi-Ling said angrily, “But we will be together. We are going to make this happen. You and me. We must.” She then fell to the ground, her body limp.

When Shu-Chen came to, Lin said, “You must never come to this park again. Never!!!”

Moving On

Days turned into months, and months into a year. Kuan Lin slowly started to put things behind him and get on with his life, deciding that it was for the best. Often, he would gaze longingly at the maple tree. One day, as he was reading the newspapers, he noticed a familiar face in the column. It was Shu-Chen. Before the nerves got the best of him, he decided to read it quickly.

A Shocking Discovery

It was an article on how a young and healthy woman named Shu-Chen went into a sudden coma about a year ago. She had been behaving differently and erratically and then returned home, where she incoherently spoke about death and unrequited love. He couldn’t believe his eyes and decided he must try to help and visit her. He could not be responsible for the state she was in – he must try to fix it.

The Unexpected Encounter

As he was approaching her bed in the hospital, Kuan Lin was stopped by a short, sweet girl who pulled him aside and asked, “Are you Kuan Lin?”

He replied, “Yes.”

She said, “My name is Angel, and I am Shu-Chen’s friend from Singapore Story, a web-based publication. I have something to show you before you see her.”

“What?” he asked.

“Follow me,” she said, leading him to another room with a DVD player. She popped in a DVD and pressed play. The screen showed Shu-Chen, who began narrating her experiences, explaining the strange things happening to her. She showed bite marks and bruises and talked about her memory loss and behavioral changes. She explained how her need to go to the Taipingshan National Forest was now overshadowed by a desire to end her life and harm herself. She expressed her confusion, feeling like she was being watched constantly and feeling unsafe even in her own home.

The Revelation

Angel said, “She told me that if anything happened to her, you would come and to show you this video. She said you would know what to do.”

Kuan Lin felt his legs give way and decided to leave immediately before meeting Shu-Chen. He felt his whole world turn upside down and felt responsible for the misfortune that had befallen Shu-Chen. He made a decision on how to help her. As he drove away, tears streamed down his face for all that had been cast upon poor Shu-Chen.

The Final Act

As his car entered the National Park and he drove closer to his cabin, he pressed down on the accelerator. The car’s speed increased rapidly, and through the headlights piercing the darkness, a shape began to emerge. Suddenly, at close to 100 km per hour, a crash occurred as Lin’s car ran into the aged cypress. He was flung through the windshield, smashing into the tree. Life ran from his broken body as the sound of a banshee pierced the night.

The Aftermath

The next morning, Shu-Chen awoke from her coma, none the wiser about what had happened. She now lives a comfortable life, having gotten married and started a family.

Many strange things have happened in Taipingshan National Forest near the Cypress Grove ever since.
