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.

   ✨✨**Highly recommended! It's such a cool masterpiece that I want to watch it all night long! **🍁🍁 "The underworld is treacherous, and the three corpses are frightening." 🍀Zhang Luo stood in the dark basement, holding a bronze bell in his hand... The bell was engraved with three twisted faces, which were the marks of the three corpse gods... He took a deep breath and shook the bell gently. 🔥Ding Bell... Ding Bell... The moment the bell rang, the temperature in the basement dropped sharply... Dark red liquid oozed from the walls, like coagulated blood... Zhang Luo felt a chill on the back of his neck, as if something was watching him. ✨"The language of three corpses, leading to the underworld..." Zhang Luo recited an ancient mantra in a low voice... Suddenly, the ringtone was mixed with weird laughter... The laughter was far and near, as if coming from the depths of hell... Zhang Luo's pupils shrank suddenly, and he saw three vague figures looming in the darkness. 🔥"Here it comes..." Zhang Luo held the bell tightly, cold sweat sliding down his forehead... He knew that this was the last chance to talk to the Three Corpse Gods... Either ask for the truth, or sink into this netherworld forever...
