    This book is definitely worth reading. It has a very unique writing technique. The author describes the bloody scenes very carefully. The horror atmosphere is well created. The powerlessness of ordinary people when facing strange things is very real. I think the low score is because the scale is too large. Many contents cannot pass the review. Repeated revisions can only use homophonic words. Those that cannot be revised can only be posted in the comment area [laughing and crying] Please hurry up and read it. If the book becomes popular, I feel that it will either be revised or blocked.
