Ten years ago, on a rainy night, at the old Wu family residence, everyone was shrouded in an atmosphere of grief. Wu Xie's grandfather was gravely ill, clinging to life. Wu Xie's father asked his father if there was anything else he needed to instruct. His father pointed to the antiques on the table and told his two sons to divide them equally.

He solemnly instructed that after he passed away, he must be cremated within two hours, and no one should be within thirty meters of the cremation furnace, and no one was allowed to look at the scene inside the furnace. Wu Xie was still young at the time and personally experienced his grandfather's death. For decades, he had a question, feeling that his grandfather must have left with a secret, but what the secret was is obviously unknown.

However, the more mysterious something is, the more dangerous it is; this couldn't sufficiently arouse Wu Xie's curiosity, but he would still occasionally dream about it. Wu Xie was temporarily staying at the temple. In the early morning, he walked out of his room and inadvertently turned his head to discover a miraculous sight. Someone was sitting in front, motionless, seemingly watching the cliff opposite. This figure was Zhang Qiling. Wu Xie was surprised and pleased.

He walked over and found that it was actually a stone statue. According to the locals, this stone statue had been here for decades. Wu Xie imagined Zhang Qiling constantly grinding and carving with a stone chisel to successfully sculpt it. Wu Xie went out to eat as usual and found that the restaurant was packed today. Even the waiter sighed that these backpackers arrived on the third day after Wu Xie came.

Backpackers usually visited, but never this many, and these people did not seem to be simply here for tourism and relaxation. Wu Xie felt a growing unease, so he called Wang Pangzi. After hearing about his experience, Wang Pangzi immediately reminded him that he was likely being set up. How could he so easily find clues about Zhang Qiling, and that magical painting, which was actually hung at the station where he was supposed to mail something?

This realization struck Wu Xie like a bolt of lightning. He suddenly felt that he might have indeed fallen into a trap designed by someone. After hanging up the phone, he returned to the restaurant and found that everyone inside was in very good physical condition. It seemed they were premeditated, likely related to the Ma family. Next, Wu Xie calmly continued to peruse the scrolls as usual.

Wang Pangzi had previously reminded him that since the Ma family went to great lengths to get him here, they must have a purpose. Now, being too clever would instead put his life at risk. Instead of doing that, it was better to play along and wait and see. Wu Xie did not just sit and wait for death.

He first pretended to casually strike up a conversation with a female comrade, offering her a chocolate bar, but the attractive and beautiful woman quickly lost interest in him and even refused to add him on WeChat. Afterward, Wu Xie also deliberately hid several small objects in concealed places. The next day, he checked them one by one and found that the carefully placed items had indeed been moved. Although they were very careful, Wu Xie still discovered it.

Wu Xie promptly reported these situations to Wang Pangzi via phone. On the third day, Wu Xie heard Wang Pangzi's voice at the hotel where he was staying. Wang Pangzi was in disguise; it was impossible to recognize him without looking closely. Relying on years of mutual understanding, Wu Xie quickly matched Wang Pangzi's secret signal and arranged to meet in the bathroom the next morning. Wu Xie went to the bathroom next to Wang Pangzi's.

Wang Pangzi immediately warned him that he had been observing Wu Xie secretly these past few days and had indeed found that he was being followed, and the followers included foreigners. Furthermore, listening devices had been installed on Wu Xie's home phone, clearly showing that the other party had extended their reach hundreds of miles away.

Wang Pangzi told Wu Xie to continue pretending not to know; one of them would be in the open and the other in the dark, which would make it easier to counter-surveillance and escape sooner. Walking out of the bathroom, Wu Xie indeed saw someone looking flustered. The person said that the old gentleman requested his presence.

Wu Xie imagined countless scenarios and dangers he might encounter in his mind, but he truly did not expect to see a face identical to his own in the old gentleman's room. Their eyes met, and both were startled. This person's appearance, voice, and expression were simply astonishingly similar to his – perhaps they were directly the same person! At this moment, there were two Wu Xies in the room, indistinguishable from each other.

After leaving the room, it would be impossible to tell the real from the fake. Suddenly, more than ten people broke in, all carrying guns and daggers. They stared at the two Wu Xies in the room, demanding to know which one was real. Seeing that both insisted they were the real one, the other party began feeling around their necks to see if they could detect a human skin mask.

However, the skin texture of both was identical, and no mask could be discerned. One of the women said that perhaps this imposter had been wearing a mask for twenty years and it had now fused with the real skin.
