   Brothers, I'm recommending a mind-blowing, super-powerful novel! The protagonist, Ji Ye, has awakened an "Abyss Filter," seeing everything as an everyday object. 👉 While others are terrified of the Headless Horseman, he thinks he's a dedicated deliveryman and even gives him a tip! 👉 While others are scared out of their wits by the sight of a deep-sea monster, he thinks she's a drowning girl, rescues her, and then forces her to sing a square dance! 👉 The most outrageous thing is that when the King in Yellow comes looking for trouble, he treats him like a performance artist, forcibly drags him into his house to play a murder mystery game, and then criticizes the script for its illogicality! Now, in his yard, a demigod is guarding the gate, a ghost king is mopping the floor, and an S-class monster is unclogging the drains… Everyone's a villain (scratch that), everyone's a working stiff! Want to see how the protagonist uses a mop to physically exorcise the entire universe? "I Handed Over the Unspeakable Things," you won't regret it, you'll laugh your head off! 😎

    ⛱️First Book: A hospital under the moonlight, a hundred ghosts roam at night; in a coffin-like room, eerie notes drift in the wind. This world has no mindless wish-fulfillment stories; every choice could be the final one. Jiang Ming doesn't possess any heaven-defying abilities; he only has a seemingly useless C-level talent and a mind so calm it's almost cold-blooded. But the most terrifying thing isn't the ghost stories themselves, but that the eerie creatures here can think… They aren't mechanical puppets blindly following the rules, but true hunters with intelligence, skilled in setting ambushes. Just when you think you've found the key to breaking the deadlock, you discover you've already been outmaneuvered; just when you think you've seen through the rules, the rules are quietly changing. A Cthulhu-esque ultimate horror quietly spreads: "The more you explore, the more desperate you become; the closer you get to the truth, the closer you are to madness." 🍒Second Book: Reading improves Imperial English, making medicine improves pharmacology, dissecting monsters improves forbidden knowledge. It sounds perfect, almost enviable. But the cruelest truth of this world is: knowledge is alive. The deeper you learn, the more you see; the more you see, the faster your sanity slips away. The fastest-growing experience bars always point to taboos that humanity should not touch—the crawling beings beneath the earth, the secrets slumbering in the sea of ​​knowledge, the truths that could destroy civilization. Others only need to specialize in one thing to survive, but his experience bar tells him: you can learn them all. The price is, you have to bear them all. Thus, the ultimate Cthulhu-esque horror descends—every fall of sanity is an erosion of the soul, every deep exploration is dancing on the edge of the abyss. The despair of knowing you'll go mad but being unable to stop exploring, intertwined with the adrenaline rush of glimpsing forbidden truths, is both chilling and irresistible.
