    This book is absolutely amazing! I've followed two of this author's books already, and they're both exceptionally well-written with incredibly captivating plots. Fans of *The Grave Robbers' Chronicles* will likely enjoy this one too. The plot isn't mindless, the protagonist doesn't have any overpowered abilities, and the action is thrilling and exciting. The male and female leads have a romantic subplot—the kind where true love blossoms through shared hardships. Readers will fall in love with the female lead even before the male lead does. Both characters are fantastic. The tight plot is interspersed with humor, and the plot doesn't feel simplistic even when it's engaging. There's a slight ensemble element, with a gaunt old man and a little black dog, and everyone has their own role. However, this book doesn't have a high readership, and there aren't many reviews. If you have the chance, give it a check it out!

    Six months ago, Black Pine Ridge was peaceful and uneventful until an unexplained anomaly struck. A series of bizarre and unsolvable disappearances began to occur in the mountains, fueling rumors. Three young men, Lu Ming, Gao Yu, and Su Ran, were bored and curious. Hearing of the strange occurrences in Black Pine Ridge, they decided to team up and explore the mountains. They weren't professional exorcists; they were simply there for the fun of it all. They were extremely cautious, always traveling together, setting up camp on time at dusk, and never daring to venture out at night—their rules were impeccable. On the night of the incident, the darkness was thick and inky, and the forest was deathly silent. The three sat around their tent chatting, recounting their day's experiences. The atmosphere was relaxed and calm. But then, Gao Yu, who had been speaking normally, suddenly froze. His eyes inexplicably burned, his gaze becoming empty and unfocused. He seemed frozen in place, his eyes fixed on the dark, deep forest. Lu Ming and Su Ran called his name repeatedly and patted his shoulder, but Gao Yu remained unresponsive, as if his soul had been instantly ripped away by darkness, leaving only an empty shell sitting there. Dozens of seconds later, Gao Yu shuddered violently and snapped back to reality. His eyes were glazed and unfocused, his head throbbing, and he looked blankly at his two companions, asking softly, "What just happened? Why am I so still?" His memory was completely fragmented; he had no recollection of his strange, frozen state, staring into the darkness. Seeing this, Lu Ming immediately recounted the entire bizarre incident to him, word for word. The instant Gao Yu finished hearing the description, a chilling sensation swept over him. He couldn't recall any images, yet the instinctive fear was uncontrollable. Cold sweat broke out on his back, neck, and limbs, his body stiffening and shivering, as if his subconscious had glimpsed a terrifying scene forcibly blocked by his brain. Before his companions could offer any comfort, Gao Yu abruptly stood up, and without a word, walked stiffly and mechanically into the depths of the dark forest. Lu Ming and Su Ran's expressions changed drastically. They called out to him and desperately tried to stop him, but Gao Yu seemed to be completely oblivious to all outside sounds, his steps unwavering. Realizing the situation was spiraling out of control, the two immediately got up and hurried after him, trying to forcibly pull him back to camp. But just as they were about to touch the hem of his clothes, Gao Yu, who had been walking slowly, suddenly started running wildly, rushing into the boundless darkness of the dense forest with all his might, and in an instant, he completely disappeared into the night. The two searched and called out throughout the night in the mountains and forests, but found nothing. The next day, at the break of dawn, as the morning light pierced through the layers of pine trees, the two found something in a clearing at the edge of the dense forest. It wasn't a corpse. It was a lifelike paper figure. The paper figure's height, body shape, hairstyle, and even the subtle lines on its hands were completely identical to the missing Gao Yu. The clothes he wore were identical to those Gao Yu had worn when he went into the mountains the previous night. The entire paper figure was so lifelike that it was almost indistinguishable from the real thing. There was only one fatal incongruity and eeriness—a smile on the paper figure's face that no human facial muscles could ever replicate. Stiff, distorted, empty, the exaggerated curve was deathly still, devoid of any vitality, more chilling than a grotesque ghost face. Lu Ming and Su Ran were terrified, their bodies turning ice-cold. They dared not linger in the forest for even half a second, packing their bags that very night and hastily fleeing Black Pine Ridge, rushing back to the town at the foot of the mountain. At this point, of the three-person team, Gao Yu was missing, transformed into a paper figure and left behind in the forest, leaving only Lu Ming and Su Ran who had miraculously returned to the city. They thought that escaping that eerie forest would completely rid them of disaster and allow them to live in peace. But they never imagined that true terror had already followed them, leaving Black Pine Ridge behind. Late on the third night after returning to the city. Lu Ming, resting at home, suddenly received a ringing phone. The caller was Su Ran. The moment he answered, Su Ran's voice was filled with barely concealed tension and panic. "Lu Ming, I saw Gao Yu." Lu Ming's heart skipped a beat, a chill running down his spine. He immediately asked, "Are you sure? Where? How is he?!" "He's on the street across from my house." Su Ran's voice was unsteady. "But he's always turned away from me, I can't see his face. His build and clothes match perfectly, but I'm not sure if it's really him." After she finished speaking, a long, deathly silence fell over the other end of the line. There was no sound, no breathing, no movement, a suffocating silence. Lu Ming's panic intensified. He kept calling out, "Su Ran? Are you still there? Why aren't you saying anything? What happened?!" After a long silence, Su Ran's voice, trembling and almost collapsing, slowly came through: "He... He's gone... Just a blink of an eye, the other side of the street is empty." "He's... Standing outside my second-floor balcony now." "I saw his face clearly." "It's that paper figure! The Gao Yu paper figure we saw in the mountains, the one with the eerie smile!" Lu Ming's scalp tingled. He forced down his surging fear and quickly tried to calm her: "Calm down! Take a deep breath! Don't panic! Lock the doors and windows and stay inside. I'm coming to help you right away!" On the other end of the line, Su Ran tried to compose herself, taking deep breaths, closing her eyes, and rubbing her throbbing temples, attempting to suppress the fear in her heart. But the moment she opened her eyes again, her pupils dilated dramatically, and her whole body stiffened completely. Lu Ming on the other end of the line continued to give instructions and urge her on, but there was no response from the receiver. After an unknown amount of time, a light, cold, and chilling whisper slowly came through the receiver: "No need." "I'm right behind you now." Lu Ming's blood froze instantly, an extreme sense of horror gripping his heart. He instinctively turned around abruptly—but behind him was nothingness; the room was silent and dark, completely empty. Just as he was filled with doubt and his mind was in turmoil, the call was abruptly disconnected. Beep beep—beep— The cold busy tone echoed in his ears. Lu Ming gripped the phone, staring blankly at the black screen, filled with dread and uncertainty. But the next second, in the reflection of the black screen, the scene behind him was clearly reflected. Behind him stood two paper figures. One was Gao Yu, who had long since disappeared in the mountains and transformed into a paper figure. The other was Su Ran, who had just spoken to him, filled with fear. The two paper figures were identical to real people in shape, appearance, clothing, and details. Only two faces bore that identical, inhuman, stiff, and twisted eerie smile. Silent, deathly still, they stood behind him, staring intently at him on the screen. After that night, none of the expedition members who had miraculously returned alive from Black Pine Ridge escaped. Everyone successively encountered the same bizarre experience. Finally, around the town and in the Black Pine Ridge forest, paper figures, replicas of real people, began to appear one after another. Each paper figure wore clothes belonging to the living. Each paper figure wore that sinister, eerie smile that humans could never produce. No one knew where they went. All that was known was—those who left Black Pine Ridge never left behind only bones. After all, how can you be sure that the people around you are truly human? *The Town of No Return* is a novel I wrote. I know the beginning was poorly written, but this is the story that follows. Please forgive me, I'm a new author and a new book. Because there's really no one reading it, I've decided to stop updating. This is my last struggle.
