   📖 **"The House" | Seven-Day Mystery** Seven passengers boarded a bus without a driver in thick fog. When the door opened automatically in front of an abandoned villa, they found seven oil lamps hanging on the porch of the villa - each lampshade had a name engraved on it. They were the seven residents who mysteriously disappeared here seven years ago. What's even weirder is that the old-fashioned gramophone in the study suddenly started playing automatically, and a hoarse recording came out: "The game begins...

   I recently read two superb novels that I must tell you about! Let's talk about "The Truth About Murder" first. This is definitely good news for criminal investigation lovers! The whole book is a high-energy brain-burning case, unfolding in the form of a unit drama, one link after another, which made me nervous the whole time. The pair of criminal police captain Ti An and genius psychologist Zhao Yao have a perfect understanding. One relies on his keen intuition and the other relies on his mind-reading ability to uncover the true face of the murderer step by step. Moreover, the analysis of human nature behind each case is so amazing, including paraphilia, trichotillomania, and mental manipulation, it sent chills down my spine. It really exposed the dark side of human nature! There is also "The Strange House", this infinite supernatural novel immediately grabbed my attention! The protagonist Ning Qiushui is accidentally involved in a mysterious curse and is transported to the black treacherous house. The blood gate here will regularly involve people in the world of horror. Each copy is so exciting. Scenarios like "The Man Looking Up" and "Dengying Temple" are full of horror atmosphere. The author's description of the details is so perfect that I didn't dare to look back when I watched it at night. And it is not only scary, but also deeply explores human nature. In the face of the test of life and death, the struggles and choices of the characters make people think deeply. Then, the other three are of the same type. There will be emotional lines in them, but they will not hinder the development of the main line. They are all very interesting. If you like suspense and reasoning, it will be a no-brainer.

Some people buy it and rent it out, and wait for the ghosts of grievances to be "washed away" by time; some people hire a "house cleaner" to live there for a year and use Yang Qi to suppress resentment. Until that 538-square-meter European-style villa appeared: the previous owner was stabbed several times in the bathroom. After the new buyer moved in, he always said: "There is someone waiting for me in the master bedroom wall..."
