Luc was leafing through the advertising brochure:

"Recently opened to trekking through the construction of community lodges, the southern slope of the Annapurna offers new trekking opportunities, accessible to all in this preserved region. The landscapes are varied: man-made hills where traditional villages cling to each other, wild pine forests, rhododendrons and subtropical plants, paths dominated by the immense south face of Annapurna I (8091 m)... The purity of the peaks contrasts with the dense vegetation of the Himalayan foothills. An itinerary off the beaten track, easily accessible and with exceptional panoramic views.

"

Luc embarked with his wife in Brussels and the flight lasted 1 hour to Paris.

Then in Orly, they ate what they could of European food and boarded for Doha.

After 13 hours of flight, their butts were in compote despite the comfort of Qatar's planes.

From Doha, they eventually arrived at KAthmandu.

They took a tourist visa because it went better and made things much easier.

Brochure:"

D-2 : Arrival > Kathmandu

The arrival at Kathmandu airport (usually in the afternoon) already marks our entry into another world.... Customs formalities, baggage retrieval and reception by our local French-speaking guide. The crossing from the city to the hotel already offers a first discovery of the capital of Nepal, teeming and colorful. Buses, trucks, bicycles and sacred cows intersect in a friendly mess.... Depending on the arrival time, visit the surroundings or simply settle in and rest at the hotel before your dinner at the hotel.

Accommodation: Royal Singi Hotel or equivalent Meals: D In case of early arrival in Kathmandu, lunch will be included in the programme."

Indeed, the trip was done without any problems and we followed the tourist program. We would certainly be guided by people, legends and old monks.

We'll go to the high mountains as planned in search of Emily.

After a few Treks to familiarize us, we met Buddhist priests but we had to go to Tensing-Hillary airport and our tour operator, spared us the other excursions and organized an expedition to the mountains with guide and mountaineering training. It was suicide, but you had to learn.

we took the opportunity to stay with the guides who were happy to welcome Europeans and to have a nice end of the month.

We never told them about our objectives.

A point was shown on the map and the local news agency was visited to find out if there had been any recent accidents and disappearances.

Unexplained crashes, landslides, and ambulances destroyed,

Tourists.

The subject was taboo. We were afraid that tourists would flee and the press director showed his irritation.

"Why do you want to dig into these stories? Do you want to destroy the only income of these poor people? Who are you? Who are you?

Luke: "I am a police inspector and our family was massacred. One member survived and is still alive. She's a prisoner here. His phone rang from here.

We don't want to make any trouble or tell anyone about it. Everything must be kept secret. We are just tourists enjoying the region.

The director calmed down. I am a journalist but my family lives here and I don't want harm to happen to them.

Who or what are you looking for?

A telephone terminal, to access it and search the caves.

MMM "it's a taboo region... the guides are afraid to provoke the anger of the mountain."

Luke: "Tell me about the wrath of the mountain..."

There are very few testimonies, but an evil spirit turns and carries away lost or lonely travellers. Sometimes cars or a plane but that doesn't exist. It is said that it is a spirit of the vanished city that wanders for revenge.

Others say it's the Yeti. We see huge footprints and it must be at least 10 meters high. But we have no proof of that.

Then Luke pulled out a red scale.

This is not a ghost or a spirit.... We found this at home in Europe and he killed my whole family. I want to know why and find my niece, the last member of my family.

The Journalist's mother showed another scale to her son and they were the same!

She squeezed the scale against her belly: "Help these people, my son, my little sister, has been devoured by the monster. No one believed me until now. You see, they were also victims.

Journalist: "How can I be sure you're not manipulating my mom?

The old grey-haired woman who were black before and roughly dyed took my wife's hands in hers which were all withered by years of hard work.

She showed a special smile, typical of people who have been through it.

"They don't lie, son..."

Luc then took out his smartphone and showed a video from the surveillance camera where we saw the monster tearing the roof off the house and extracting the inhabitants and shredding them. Emily should never be able to see such horror.

The old woman pushed an egg: "It was the monster that killed my little sister. It's him, I recognize him! It's even bigger! I'm scared, I'm scared, he's going to eat us all.....

Then she handed Luc a talisman: "It's a charm to protect you. The monster won't see you with it, but beware. Nothing electronic on you! It detects all mobile phones, cameras and remote machines and knows you're there. Don't take anything, nothing with you... He also has a good sense of smell and a terrifying view.

The journalist, well resigned to helping Luc wanted to prepare his revenge and now he had no doubts. His mother wasn't crazy. He was able to keep a copy of the video and summoned the family council urgently.

They went back to the unsuspecting resident's house and the journalist called an emergency meeting with his family and showed that his mother was not crazy, with proof. The last thing we should do was keep the matter quiet.

For his part, he called his cousin who was an officer in the army and a border guard.

He talked about evidence and that a punitive expedition should also be set up.

His cousin had also lost a nephew in one of the landslides, but the journalist convinced him to come back to the tracks of the landslides and yes, the claw marks matched for having loosened rocks. We could see where the beast had taken support

There were traces of negative scales in the mud and the Journalist showed his mother's scale and the photo of Luc's scale. He took one of the scales and put it against the negative in mud and it was 100%.

They finally had a lead.

Then, He showed his cousin the video of the massacre of Mary, Eric and Philip.

After a few phone calls, a military aircraft and high mountain trekking equipment arrived with border guards and hunters.

A punitive expedition was thus on its way.

Luke and his wife were not aware of this, but they were followed by the guards from a distance.

The best snipers in the area were also on the job.

Of course, Baksheesh obliges, an expedition for big game hunting attracted cryptozoologists and hunters in need of sensation.

Parallel expeditions began, unknown to others but to the delight of the porters.

The mountain would then prepare for a feast.
