Horror Invasion: From the Start, I Ate the Starving Ghost 恐怖入侵，开局吃掉饿死鬼
A simple-minded village guardian, yet born with the nature of a ghost. Chen Huang knows who treats him well, but he doesn't understand himself or the world around him. He doesn't realize that, in this world where terror has returned, people can die at any moment. In the little village, man-eating evil spirits feast in the darkness of despair. In the town, layers of ghostly shadows leave almost everyone with no way out. In the psychiatric hospital, eerie human skins wander the halls at night. Aga

You Won’t Find This During the Day: One Ghost Story Every Day 白天刷不到：每天一个诡故事
I’m a horror writer who publishes online. I have no fame and no income, so I can only grab people’s attention by writing the most sinister, unsettling, and realistic stories. To make them feel “real,” I’m used to grounding my characters in details from the real world: real streets, real neighborhoods, real outfits, and real little gestures. I always thought a novel was just a novel. That is, until the serial killer I wrote stepped out of my story and found me in the real world.

And that's where the story begins...!
