   Reader note

   Book 1: 🎄Actually, when reading this type of novel, I am most afraid of reading the very heavy sentence "Part of the story is adapted from real events" in the previous article. This book describes some strange people and incredible things. Take Qiu Ba for example. The story starts from a strange missing person notice and describes Qiu Ba's ruthless methods and mental journey. Book 2: This is the first part of the Yin Patroller trilogy. Many times I got goosebumps while reading it. It is so graphic. Although it is a suspenseful and supernatural novel, the protagonist is not an innocent person, and the subjective thoughts of the protagonist do not violate human ethics. On the surface, the novel is about ghosts, but in fact it is about the ugliness of people's hearts. Book 3: Although it is suspenseful and supernatural, I really laughed from the beginning to the end [laughing]! This book is so joyful and it will have elements of horror. However, it is not particularly scary, and the pace of the whole book is relatively brisk. I recommend it to friends who are afraid of reading ghost stories but also want to read them.
