As night falls, the quiet town of Gingko Town is surprisingly quiet. This is an unremarkable city with no skyscrapers or shops. The souls that lurk in the city rumble in their own hearts only a cold God can hear.

Cam discovers he can't shake the city hallucinations that his father is a missing person. Cam has a temper and doesn't believe the police investigation results. He opened the safe, took his father's travel bag, and left Ginkgo Town late at night on the passenger train. He wanted to go to the famous fishing village to come here tonight.

Cam was alone in the bus, absent-minded. He sat on the sofa, thinking about his father's disappearance. A few days before his father disappeared, he once talked to his father about the rumored cemetery in Gingko Town. His father didn't pay much attention to it, pointing to a half-strange street and saying, "This is Gingko Town." Now Cam Thinking of this remark, my heart felt a little cold.

Starlight dotted the night sky, time passed without knowing it, and Cam was the only one in the car. There was a sudden sound of the wheels, the body shook a few times, followed by a piercing scream, and Cam was so frightened that his whole body trembled. So he left the carriage, and in the hallucination of still blackness, he found a small shop.

The shop bell rang slightly, but no one answered.

At this time, some strange voices came from the truck, and the voices became louder and louder. Cam walked towards the truck quickly.

Suddenly, he saw a strange looking man coming out of the van, with a hat on his head and a mask on his face. Seeing Cam, the man grinned grimly, pulled out a knife, and rushed at him.

Cam was wise and decisive, dodging the man's mad attack, he kept jumping, and stepped heavily on the man's weapon. The man is seized, but unwilling to let it go, he swings the knife frantically, trying to knock Cam down.

Between life and death, Cam squatted down quickly and turned around suddenly, using his body to slam the back of the man's neck, and finally knocked him down.

At this time, suddenly heard the door opening from behind the van, and a circle of cold and nameless fear surrounded Cam.

Cam looked around carefully and found that the scene was very strange. In the dark behind the man, a pair of passionate eyes stared at Cam. Those eyes were dark and deep, and Cam was speechless in fright.

When he regained his senses, he found several people surrounding him, and one of them, a fat man in red, started talking to him:

"Welcome, young man, we are all residents of Ginkgo Town, how can we make progress. Have you heard the legend about the cemetery in Ginkgo Town? There will be wonderful things happening in that place."

Cam's heart beat faster, and the vibe of the place was terrifying.

"Have you ever heard of a ginkgo tree?" asked the fat man.

"Heard about it, but nothing," Cam replied.

"It's different for you." The fat man said, knocking the man unconscious.

They take Cam to the cemetery and start chatting. But after a while, a sound broke the silence, they saw someone crawling out of the coffin, the world of the past and ghosts and ghosts began to appear, they stumbled upon a mysterious thing from the middle of the cemetery, Cam could sense the weirdness The world became closer and closer to him.

Cam quickly ran to the exit of the cemetery. When he got there, he saw a figure with his back turned to him. The figure was dressed in white clothes and looked very mysterious. When he walked over, the human nature asked him gently if he saw those "spiritual things"?

Cam was very scared, but he still tried to calmly tell the mysterious person what happened just now.

The mysterious man turned around, with a smile on his face, and told Cam that he was not missing in Gingko Town, but had run away from home. Finally, the mysterious man told Cam his name, which he said was O'Henry.

Cam was stunned, he couldn't believe his eyes, he actually met his father who had been missing for many years in the mysterious cemetery.

Cam was shocked by the unexpected fact of the ending. He found that he had finished the night in Gingko Town, and he had the most important clue, and found his father. His heart is heavy and full of expectation, he wants to embark on a journey to find the truth.
