   If you are short of books recently, you can try "When Hundreds of Ghosts Walked at Night, I Inherited a Ghost Shop". The beginning is quite gripping, the protagonist takes over a "ghost shop" inexplicably. "At first, I thought I was just selling paper money to do something for nothing, but the more I took on the job, the more and more something went wrong - this shop specializes in dealing with things "over there". The most interesting thing is that this book is not the kind of cool article about fighting monsters and upgrading, but about rules and business. Every order you take is like walking a tightrope. Many operations may seem inconspicuous, but in fact there are details behind it. Once it breaks, The rules are bound to happen. The overall atmosphere is also very good, not the kind of sudden scare, but the coolness seeping out little by little. The more you read, the more realistic it becomes in many places. If you like urban supernatural stories and folklore ghost stories, this book is really good. I just recommend not to read it alone at night.

    Looking through old photos on my phone, I saw a foreign object vaguely hidden in the background of the picture. When I zoomed in and took a closer look, I saw that the thing had been following me! I was riding the escalator alone late at night, and there was always the sound of breathing behind me. When I looked back, I saw that the sky above the stairs was completely empty! Unit drama! Not stuck! No worries about word count! Worth a look!
