    [Suspense/Thriller + Supernatural + Folklore + Female Growth] Grandpa brought home a woman. He insisted she was my fourth great-aunt. But where did I get a fourth great-aunt?! Through the crack in the door, I watched her tiptoeing and slowly twirling in the living room, her dark red skirt billowing. Once, twice… drops of blood trickled down from beneath her skirt, seeping into the carpet. My phone screen suddenly lit up, "Duoduo, come quick! Your fourth great-aunt is in trouble! Come immediately!" My hand trembled. WC! What is this?! Grandpa's knocking sounded, thump, thump, thump. The shadow under the crack in the door was stretched and distorted. My name is Shen Duoduo. Seven days ago, I inexplicably got a fourth great-aunt. Everyone keeps telling me how good she is to me! But I've never even seen her! My grandpa was missing for three days, and he's back today. At this moment, he knocked on my door, the moonlight casting his shadow on the door panel. There was a dent in his neck, like a hole made by an invisible hand. "Duoduo, your fourth aunt is waiting for you in the living room." His voice crackled like a broken radio, ready to drop at any moment. I peeked through the crack in the door. The woman was scratching at the bloodstains on the carpet with her red fingernails. Fresh blood was seeping from between her fingers… I recoiled in horror, knocking over the dressing table with a bang. My fourth aunt's photo shattered in two, and a yellowed pregnancy test result fell out from the back. The date was printed as this day last year, and the name in the "father of the fetus" column wasn't my fourth aunt's husband at all!! This day last year, my fourth aunt became pregnant… None of our family knew! A clap of thunder roared outside the window, and sparks flew from the power supply box. In the flickering light, I saw that the woman's bare feet weren't stepping on a carpet, but on a pool of blood, winding its way up her ankles. The silver bells on her legs were exactly the same as the "evil ghost haunting the women of the Shen family" that my grandmother had murmured before her death. She was still dancing, her movements as graceful as flowing water, her skirt swaying in elegant arcs, her smile always flawless. Her smile was perfect, yet frozen on her face, her eyes staring blankly into the distance, as if gazing at something. When the sound of a bell rang close to my ear, I frantically shrank back. Suddenly, I felt a hidden compartment in the drawer. Pressing it, I pulled out a book with my fourth aunt's name on the cover. It was her diary, the pages charred, the entire notebook marked with the marks of fire, likely having survived many hardships. The cover was blown open by the wind, revealing the first page, where a few words in blood appeared: "Never let Duoduo meet the woman wearing the silver bell!" I was horrified! The bell! Wasn't that the woman in the living room?! The television suddenly turned on, the screen displaying blinding static, crackling and fidgeting. A few seconds later, I watched as the shadows around the door frame began to shift and deepen. Then, I smelled a faint, earthy, bloody odor. The stench of blood, a deep crimson, seeped in through the cracks in the door. I crouched tightly behind the dressing table, my heart pounding, my hands clenched, my eyes fixed on the charred book. Then, a voice, sharp as if sanded, a voice that sounded like both a sob and a cold laugh, whispered in my ear: "I know... You know me..." Silence! Silence descended, leaving only the frantic pounding of my heart. She wasn't testing me; she was announcing her arrival! Crack... Crack... Bang— The jade bracelet suddenly exploded, releasing a pale golden light that traced runes in the air. I suddenly remembered my mother's words the night before she left: "If a fourth aunt comes to our house without reason, it must be someone trying to steal the Shen family's 'life-saving Gu'..."

    The second book in the suspenseful crime detective series needs no introduction; the true story speaks for itself. The first book was completely underrated, and the ending includes some personal touches—you know what I mean. *Mistaken Identity*: The plot structure, timeline, and writing style of this book are so good that it's almost a waste of Tomato's talent; it received too little traffic and readership. About the work: All characters are vividly portrayed, allowing the reader to quickly immerse themselves in the first-person perspective. The psychological descriptions are exceptionally detailed. The male protagonist's personality is very unpleasant—cold, selfish, and might be difficult for some to accept. The logic completely collapses later on, and the author rushed to finish it. It's understandable; who would dedicate so much time to something that doesn't earn much money for such a small amount of traffic? I suggest using the early to mid-stages to pass the time. If you can't get into the later parts, don't force yourself; it will ruin your mood. *50 Hyper-Realistic Crimes*: Greatness needs no explanation; reality is always superior to anything imagined. If you've read the Seven Deadly Sins series, you've struck gold. I won't say much about the plot; saying anything would be a spoiler. The Game of the Powerless: A book about ideology, distortion, darkness, delusion, and desire... I hope you can get through the very dull beginning... Later you will witness a magnificent and entirely new worldview. Regarding other excellent suspense works: Junji Ito's representative works, Uzumaki and Tomie, were inducted into the Eisner Hall of Fame in 2025. Kim Kan-bi, a well-known South Korean webcomic artist, is known for his dramas: *Sweet Home*, *Hunter Boy*, and terrorism works such as *The Unfilial Son*, *The Pigpen*, and *The Foolish Genius*, which tells the story of a small-time hoodlum experiencing a turning point in his life, showcasing his critical perspective on social reality. If you don't have free comic reading software, please contact the author privately; I'm offering it free of charge... If you can, please support my work; life is too difficult for a new author.
