The ending has a long aftertaste. It ends with the old servant Sima An paying homage to the unknown grave (suspected to be Qiu He), and echoes the silent scene of Luoshui. The grand history finally falls on the silent annihilation of individual lives and the memory of ordinary people. The artistic conception is far-reaching and has great literary appeal.

"The Eighteenth Floor of Hell: Lying is Forbidden Here" Rules-based death copy + lie game battle! When the lie detector test becomes the entrance ticket to hell, the highly intelligent male protagonist relies on language traps and micro-expressions to break through. Every line is a bargaining chip of life and death. Let's see how the protagonist uses "sincerity" to tear apart the evil ghost's disguise. "Laugh at all the jokes in hell, and the merit points will be mine." The king of vicious tongues comes to another world with a hell-level anti-routine system. The merit calculator reports the death index in real time. The protagonist uses black humor to dismantle the hypocritical laws of the world of cultivation. Every joke hides the key to breaking the game. "Jin Yiwei: Our boss is a bit of a thief" is an atypical textbook of Machiavellian wits! The commander who was afraid of death developed the "Thirty-Six Strategies to Survive Life" and jumped left and right between the court and the rivers and lakes. When everyone thought he was on the fifth floor, he was actually standing in the atmosphere weaving a network. "The lifespan is only 8 years at the beginning, I choose stud" The ultimate operation of the master of time management. Under the double curse, the protagonist turns every breath into an actuarial bargaining chip, playing Ponzi-style resource arbitrage in the world of immortality. When the countdown becomes the most powerful plug-in, the rules of heaven are reduced to problem-solving equations. "Fantasy: At my age, it makes sense to be invincible" Pretend to be a pig and eat the strategic old coin of the tiger world! The soul of ten thousand years disguises itself as a newbie and stirs up the world of cultivation. Behind the seemingly absurd operation is a dimensionality reduction layout that spans the ages. When everyone cracked his first layer of disguise, they had already entered the 999th layer of the chess game.

**"The Fortune Teller in the Shadow"**😈In a world where light and shadow are intertwined, the protagonist is like a ghost in the night. As a fortune teller, he controls the threads of people's hearts and destiny. Each layout unfolds quietly in the shadows, allowing the enemy to unknowingly step into a fatal trap, while he enjoys this life-and-death drama directed by himself behind the scenes. It is thrilling and leads you to experience a different kind of dark conspiracy. **"I Rely on Mental Illness to Ascend to God"**🤣Others rely on hard work and understanding to cultivate immortality, but the protagonist relies on his "crazy" spirit to get out of the circle. He behaves erratically, has quick thinking, and makes countless jokes in the world of immortality, but every time he goes "crazy", he accidentally triggers an opportunity. From being a despised lunatic to becoming a god in one day, see how he counterattacks in absurdity. The whole process is hilarious and subverts imagination. **"The protagonists are all monsters, how can I be the boss"**😰 Lin Yu traveled across the heavens and wanted to form a group of protagonists to fight, but they all turned out to be monsters! A berserker with incredible strength, a wise man with endless plans, and a mysterious magician. He, an "ordinary person", is caught in the middle and is under great pressure, but he can only bite the bullet and see how he can gain a foothold among a group of big guys and counterattack and grow. **"The skills are so awesome that the enemies are driven crazy"**😂The protagonist is a passerby, but he awakens the skills system of the idiot. While others were showing off cool moves during the battle, he resorted to "crazy picking at the feet" to instantly petrify the enemy; and "dancing provocatively" to confuse the enemy's mind. Relying on these strange skills, he counterattacks all the way and confuses the enemies. A relaxing and joyful adventure with endless laughter is waiting for you.
