He looks crazy on the surface, but is actually calm and principled. Not only did he have no fear of ghosts, but he was excited by swallowing ghosts, forming a strong sense of contrast. 3. **Power Mechanism and Suspense** By swallowing different ghosts, you can gain corresponding abilities (such as a decapitated ghost, a human-skinned ghost, etc.), And the direction of ability improvement after each swallow is unknown, which continues to attract readers' expectations. --- ### **Plot and Scene Design** - **Horror Unit Drama Mode**: The story is connected with independent supernatural events such as "Decapitated Ghost in Midnight Hospital", "Skinned Ghost in Deserted Mountain Village" and "Long-haired Female Ghost in Single Apartment".
