After thinking it over, I decided to send a message to Oliva as a reminder.
[The news said that the tiger that had escaped from the zoo had reached the vicinity of Winding Mountain. Be careful, you guys.]
In a while, Oliva replied.
[Isn't that even better? If I can take a picture of that tiger, I will go viral. Maybe I can even provide clues to the police and get a good citizen reward!]
Then Jack's voice rang out.
[Yes. Let's go find the tiger!]
"Are they crazy about becoming famous?"
"They don't realize how dangerous it will be at all."
"This reminder is my reward for her last kindness. My kindness ends here."
"Good luck to you next!"
I got home from work in the evening and saw the empty house. Then I happily turned on the TV and sat cross-legged on the sofa.
Usually, this soft sofa didn't have a place for me. My parents and Oliva would sit on it after dinner, watch TV, and chat. I could only sit on a hard wooden stool.
I filled the table with junk food, enjoying myself.
While I was eating potato chips, my cell phone rang.
The caller ID showed it was Oliva.
I frowned.
According to the memory of my previous life, we arrived at the foot of Winding Mountain on the afternoon of Independence Day. I suggested resting in a hotel for one night before going into the mountain the next day.
But Oliva couldn't wait to do a live stream. She insisted on going on that day.
After walking for a few hours, she didn't see anything. With a poor signal, we found an open space and set up a tent to rest as it got dark.
"Given the time, it seems that something unexpected has happened now. Why is Oliva calling me?"
"Could it be that they didn't encounter a black bear?"
Curiously, I answered the call.
"Aleah... I..." The words on the cell phone were intermittent. I didn't get what she had said before she hung up.
