High-end hunters often appear in the form of prey.

    Who in the family understands? I read "The House" at three o'clock in the morning. I was so scared that I wrapped myself tightly in the quilt but couldn't help turning the pages - this is not a ghost story, it clearly has "the thought of it is terrifying" engraved into my DNA! 😱 As soon as I opened the book, I was dragged into that weird old community: each building has strange rules. The balcony door in Building 3 cannot be opened at midnight, the elevator in Unit 5 always stops on the 14th floor, and in Room 701 where the heroine lives, I always hear the sound of marbles coming from the ceiling in the early morning... Just setting it up gives me goosebumps! But the most amazing thing is the author's "slow knife cutting" style of horror! 🔴 The neighbor's aunt delivers a bowl of wontons on time every day, smiling kindly, but there are always a few hairs at the bottom of the bowl 🔴 The boy opposite always says "something is wrong with this house", but turns around and puts a bloody red rope at the heroine's door 🔴 Even the voice-activated lights in the corridor seem to have eyes, always lighting up behind her in advance... There is no bloody jump scare, it's all the creepiness hidden in daily life. For example, the heroine found that her slippers always changed positions in the middle of the night, and the flowers on the balcony lost one leaf every day, until she saw a hand on her shoulder in the mirror - I just threw the phone three meters away! What's even more poignant is the heroine's psychological struggle: from disbelief in evil at the beginning to suspicion later on, she even begins to wonder "if she's crazy." The fear of being alone and helpless made me yell, "Run!" While feeling extremely distressed! Warn! Don't watch it alone! My roommate came over and took a quick look, and now I don't dare to go to the bathroom alone with me... But the plot is really fascinating, and every foreshadowing is buried so deeply that I got goosebumps one after another when I saw the reveal! 👉 A good tip for sisters who like to think deeply and eat Chinese horror!
