   This book is truly excellent! It adheres to the three laws of ghosts, but it's not fan fiction! It features a completely new storyline and a grand world, connecting the past, present, and future! A friendly reminder: if you're looking for a fast-paced, action-packed read, you might want to reconsider. The excitement builds gradually, requiring you to uncover clues and rules to survive in the supernatural world – it's thrilling and exciting! Each small segment is packed with satisfying moments. The main theme is the resurgence of the supernatural, proving that the supernatural cannot be eradicated! The writing is strong, with excellent pacing. Furthermore, each character has their own highlights, rather than simply showering the protagonist with all the glory. Finally, a word of caution: I strongly advise against reading this if you're looking for a completely fast-paced, action-packed read from the start.

    Abnormal Disaster: Totem Dragon Disaster Level: NH Access Level: NBP Disaster Description [Totem Dragon]: It is a giant cylindrical totem, approximately 10m high and 10m wide, made of simple pine and oak wood, with a solid interior. It features dragon-like figures on top, divided into Western and Eastern dragons. The Eastern dragons on the totem are mostly rotting, dead, or half-dead fallen dragons; the surviving dragons are all jiaolong (a type of dragon-like creature), none are true dragons. The Western dragons on the vines are depicted as greedy dragons, lustful dragons, and vile and ugly dragons. Those who approach this totem will be protected. No one will be injured within a 3x3 radius. Injured people who enter will be healed. If I throw a corpse next to it, that corpse (except for anomalous creatures) will be resurrected. If your faith is strong enough, your broken objects will be repaired (except for anomalous items and items related to dragons). Every time it resurrects someone, it will lose its power for one day. During this period of powerlessness, it is just an ordinary piece of wood, but it can still purify some of the darkness. --- One of the stories about the totem: [The Fall of the Dragon] The first story: [The Fall of the Dragon] is one of the earliest events. In the summer of [Year], Yingkou experienced continuous rain for more than 40 days. The [Water Level] rose sharply, and the reed marshes on the north bank of [Location] became a vast expanse of water. Fish and shrimp floated on the surface, and a strong, fishy stench filled the air. After the heavy rain, the people living on the north bank of [Location] could smell the putrid odor from the reed marshes, but they could never figure out the cause. One day, a man tending the reed marshes followed a scent and, upon parting the reeds, was astonished to find the carcass of a gigantic monster, resembling a dragon. It was about 10 meters long, with a horn on each side of its head, each over 1 meter long, and 29 vertebrae in its spine. According to the local chronicles, this monster had actually appeared twice in Yingkou. The first time, it appeared 20 kilometers from the estuary. At that time, many people had spotted a "live dragon" upstream of Tianzhuangtai and rushed there. This "dragon" had a square head, large, blinking eyes, and a grayish-white body. It was curled up on the ground, its tail coiled, and two claws extended from its abdomen. What impressed him most was that the "dragon" seemed weak and listless, its eyes half-open and somewhat red. At the time, the locals believed that a giant dragon descending from the sky was an auspicious sign. To help the trapped dragon ascend to heaven as quickly as possible, some people built a shelter for the monster with reed mats, while others poured water on it to prevent its body from drying out. It is said that people were very enthusiastic, even those who were usually lazy went to fetch water and water plants. At the temple, many people and monks performed rituals and rites for its soul every day, continuing until another torrential rain. This time, the rain lasted a long time, and after the rain stopped, the "dragon" disappeared. More than twenty days later, the monster mysteriously reappeared, this time in the reeds about 10 kilometers from the mouth of the river. This time, it was no longer alive, but a foul-smelling corpse, exactly what the reed keepers had witnessed. It is said that before the "dragon" bones were discovered, many locals had seen this dragon descend and rise in the sky above Yingkou, capsizing three small boats, damaging factory buildings, killing nine people, and overturning a train parked at the station. After thrashing in the water for a while, it disappeared into the reeds. Until [date], in the reeds 10 kilometers from the mouth of the [river], a carcass matching the characteristics of the legendary dragon was found. A foul stench wafted from it. It had two antlers, forked like deer antlers, a rarity in the animal kingdom. Two large baskets were filled with its scales. Its cry before death was like that of a bull. This is the content accessible under the [Fallen Dragon] observation privilege. --- About the Totem Story One: [Sea Ship] Two [Sea Ship] Events in Europe have now been confirmed to be related to totems and Western dragons. Hello everyone, I am a merchant from the southernmost island. I once established a maritime fleet with two large ships and a dozen smaller ones. I traded pearls, shells, sea salt, and the most vibrant and lustrous gems. Once, we encountered a storm at sea and almost perished. Amidst the towering waves, the sailors almost gave up. Just when despair was at its peak, an old sailor prostrated himself on the deck, muttering the name of a legendary dragon. He then removed all his clothes, drew a dagger, cut off a precious object from between his legs, and threw it into the raging waves. Normally, such a bizarre ritual would have caused a commotion. But in the storm, everyone ignored it. Miraculously, after our ship weathered a huge wave, it entered a calm sea… Eventually, we repaired the ship, regained our strength, and finally sailed back to port. Although those dragon-worshipping sects that worship ancient dragons are now considered heretical, I still believe in my heart that the miracle was truly the power gained through faith in dragons. …What? You're asking why I'm dressed in tattered clothes, hanging around in a tavern in this borderland? Haha, because my entire fleet sank to the bottom of the sea a few years ago... Because that old sailor was denounced by others and burned at the stake by the church as a heretic... This is the observable access data for [Seagoing Ships].
