For example, when “asking the rice,” you must never ask how someone died; a coffin maker must never make their own coffin; a paper effigy maker must never draw eyes on a paper figure; and a spirit medium must never conduct a ceremony without all the members of their altar present...

The second is a new book by the author Jie Yu, which connects to "Call Me Little Master in the Underworld". The third features a protagonist who is a spirit medium who returns from the underworld, possessing thousands of red-clad fierce ghosts, and is invincible from the moment he appears.

    This book instilled in me a physiological fear of sound!! He rented a cheap bungalow with a yard in the old town. On his first night there, at exactly 11 p. M., He heard a crisp metallic clanging sound at the door—ding. He opened the door and saw a brand-new one-yuan coin lying on the threshold, dated 1987. He assumed it was a prank by a neighbor's child and didn't think much of it. But the next day, the third day, the fourth day… every day at 11 p. M., Without fail, a 1987 one-yuan coin would appear precisely on time. He installed a security camera. The playback showed the threshold empty, but the audio captured the moment of the "ding" at 11 p. M., And the coin appeared out of thin air on screen—no one had thrown it. He tried throwing the coin away, spending it, even melting it down, but a new one would appear at the door the next day. Three months later, he couldn't take it anymore and moved out. The new tenant called on his first night in, his voice trembling: "Did you... Did you leave something behind? Why is there a coin at the door?" Even more terrifying, the protagonist later checked the bank's records for the 1987 one-yuan coin and discovered that the bank issued its last "closing coin" that year, the total number corresponding to the number of households in an old neighborhood being demolished—and the bungalow he now lived in happened to be the only old house in that neighborhood that wasn't demolished. His elderly neighbor whispered to him: "The old man who used to live here would leave a coin at the door every night, saying it was 'life-saving money,' for those passing by to collect souls. After he died, the house was empty for many years; you were the first to move in." In other words, that "ding" moment was the deceased fulfilling an unfinished contract, and after he moved in, the coin's "recipient" automatically became him. After reading this, I felt completely uneasy because I clearly remember hearing similar sounds downstairs in my building at night. I advise everyone not to check if there are unsolicited coins coming to your door; curiosity really does kill the cat!

    Trust me, *During the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons, I Inherited a Funeral Shop*. The opening is captivating; the protagonist inexplicably takes over a "funeral shop," initially thinking it's just selling paper money and handling funeral rites. But the more jobs he takes on, the more suspicious it becomes—this shop deals specifically with "the afterlife." What's most interesting is that this book isn't a typical action-packed, level-up story; it emphasizes rules and the profession. Every job feels like walking a tightrope; many seemingly insignificant operations have hidden intricacies, and breaking the rules can lead to disaster. The overall atmosphere is also top-notch, not relying on sudden scares, but rather a chilling effect that seeps in gradually through the details. The more you read, the more unsettling many parts become. If you enjoy urban supernatural or folklore stories with a realistic feel, this book is truly addictive. However, I suggest not reading it alone at night. It's profound and terrifying!
