   There are no system plug-ins in this book. The protagonist relies on super logical reasoning to find a way out among the perverted rules. This kind of "brain-burning" excitement makes the horror not only stay in the imagination of the picture, but also brings continuous tension on the psychological level. In the second book, in a strangely resurrected world, the protagonist discovers that his mobile phone can make calls to the past and respond to the current fatal crisis by modifying history.

    The reborn mother's womb was destroyed and became a god! Rejecting the system and taking advantage of it, the social beast's counterattack is so exciting! Who in the family understands? Lin Yang, the contemporary book king, worked overtime until three in the morning. When he opened his eyes, he died on the spot - and when he opened his eyes again, he was actually huddled in his mother's womb. His little hands and feet were so soft that he couldn't even turn over! Before he could digest the magical plot of "sudden death and rebirth", a prompt popped up in his head: "Ding, congratulations to the host for binding and destroying the system~" Lin Yang was ecstatic: "The golden finger is here? Say it quickly! Where is the novice gift package? Where is the upgrade guide?" As a result, after waiting for half an hour, the system was silent and pretended to be dead except for the opening sentence. Lin Yang was bubbling with anger in the amniotic fluid: "What kind of rubbish system is this? You are the one who broke it! Get out of here!" The next second, the system came to life, and his tone was still lazy: "It has been detected that the host refuses to bind, which meets the core requirements of the broken system! If the binding is successful, you will be rewarded with three thousand Dao Sutras fully solved and the True Eye of Destruction at full level!" Lin Yang was shocked to the point of fetal movement! Is this operation more outrageous than a fantasy novel? Refuse to bind but activate top level link? Sure enough, showing off is the true meaning of life! Three thousand Taoist sutras are directly engraved into the DNA. From the introductory chanting to the secrets of the Immortal Master, you can memorize it with your eyes closed; once you open your true eyes to break the illusion, you can see everything clearly, whether it is hidden opportunities, villain conspiracies, or who is behind the scenes, which is equivalent to having your own "humanoid clairvoyance + plot spoiler"! In my last life, I was caught in a sudden death, but in this life, I will just win at the starting line. While others were reborn as mothers and were still studying their innate physiques, Lin Yang was already cultivating silently by relying on Taoist scriptures; while others were still exploring the direction of cultivation, he used his true eyes to grasp every opportunity accurately. The system is even worse: the more the host lies down, the more incredible the rewards will be. There is no need to practice hard, no need to worry about interpersonal relationships, as long as you maintain the mentality of "too lazy to do anything", top resources will automatically be delivered to your door! In this fantasy world where the strong are respected and kings are everywhere, Lin Yang's main theme is "if you fail, you will be at the top". In the last life, I was exhausted to death, but in this life, I am invincible. Who can't stand this kind of counterattack? Waiting for Lin Yang to become a big boss at birth, beating the villains with the True Eye of Delirium, crushing the genius with the help of three thousand Dao Sutras, and see what outrageous benefits can be given out by screwing up the system! This wave of rebirths is like a wild start, and the feeling of excitement is overwhelming!

A black old house inhabited by the cursed. A mysterious door soaked in blood. Behind the door is a terrifying world of narrow escapes. Behind the door is an unspeakable and shocking secret. When the last piece of the puzzle of truth is put into place, you will understand that the most terrifying thing is never the ghosts behind the door, but the web of fate we have woven with our own hands. ②When everyone believed that he killed his mother and became a demon, only he knew that the corpse was not human at all. "What I killed was not my mother..." "It was a ghost." The diagnosis from the mental hospital read: schizophrenia. But when he held on to the mysterious ticket, he realized that the real world is more terrifying than the ghosts. Chen Ji's story begins with the most desperate predicament: ▎ Diagnosed with schizophrenia and imprisoned in a lunatic asylum ▎ The whole world recognized him as a cruel matricide ▎ Only he knew that the one who ended that night was the "Painted Skin Ghost" And when he holds the treacherous ticket to the "domain", the real horror has just begun - ■ On the ceiling of Dudu Middle School, hanging corpses sway like wind chimes ■ In the time and space cycle of Liting Apartment, new ghosts are quietly approaching every day ■ Under the taboo law of the three monkeys, the death rules of no seeing/no hearing/no telling are spreading...

These six high-scoring novels use different dimensions of loyalty to make the suspense stories not only frightening, but also touching and touching. "The Ghost Bride at the Beginning?" Don't panic, she's a love brain! "", The ghost bride's obsession and loyalty to her sweetheart breaks the stereotype of "evil ghosts must be evil" - even if they are in a dungeon and a conspiracy, they still protect their loved ones in a unique way, allowing 423,000 readers to sympathize with this pure bond that spans yin and yang while going through the level in a tense way. In "The Strange Grave (Tianyin's Marriage)", the protagonist and the destined marriage stick to each other, which is an unyielding loyalty in desperate situations. 98,000 Readers followed the plot and watched the two people support each other in the secret realm of the strange grave and fight against the evil curse with loyalty. In "Records of Northeastern Folk Ghost Stories", the tacit understanding between the storyteller and the audience and the mutual help between neighbors are the simplest loyalty in folk stories. In the ghost stories with strong regional characteristics, 49,000 readers feel the mutual support of ordinary people when facing the supernatural. In "Maoshan Taboo", the Taoist priest's persistence in the inheritance of Taoism and his responsibility to the common people are the way of loyalty under the Tao. 1.276 Million readers followed the protagonist to see him faithfully practice Maoshan's morality and demonstrate the power of righteousness in suspenseful reasoning. In "The No. 1 Netherworld in the Northeast: All I Worshiped Are Ghosts", the mutual trust and mutual protection between the protagonist and the ghosts in the Netherworld are loyalty that transcends the boundaries between humans and ghosts. In the first-person immersive narrative, 107,000 readers witnessed this special bond of "my loyalty in exchange for your trust." And "The Last Taoist Priest (seven volumes in total)" has loyalty engraved into the bone marrow - the protagonist's loyalty to the inheritance of the master, the loyalty to the protection of the people, and the loyalty to his partners, allowing 7.776 Million readers to understand the profound connotation of "loyalty is the foundation of life" in the suspenseful puzzle of subduing demons and slaying demons. The loyalty in these stories is either loyalty to lovers, loyalty to friends, loyalty to the Tao, or loyalty to the people. They are like the backbone of the story, making suspenseful and supernatural stories no longer just scary, but also have emotional weight that touches people's hearts.

These 6 horror/suspense novels have directly welded the "chill down the spine" into my DNA! Stay up late and party with caution! 1. "The House of Hell" setting - Tenants who move in will always encounter strange and unbelievable things. Every "room mystery" hides a dark corner of human nature. The reversal of the ending can burn out your CPU! 2. "Autobiography of a Tomb Robber" is a northern style of tomb robbing + first-person immersion. The protagonist goes to the tomb not to find gold but to "escape": Zongzi can speak human language, the tomb passage can be folded, and teammates go crazy one after another... 3. "Game Invasion" Don't be fooled by the "game sports" label! This is a thriller about "reality being swallowed by the rules of the game": failure to clear the level = death in reality, no CP + group portraits fighting each other, "survival hell mode". 4. "Suspenseful ceiling of group portraits" in "The End of Ten Days"! Ten strangers are trapped in a closed space and unlock a "death rule" every day. Their imagination is so big that it can contain an entire parallel universe. 5. "Fourteen Years of Ghost Hunters" "Chinese Folklore Horror Encyclopedia"! The five volumes contain dozens of real-life weird things: stalking, raising imps, corpse oil scams... The oral narrative of an old ghost hunter, you need to turn on a night light to read it at night! 6. "Follow Master Yao to Rob the Tomb" is a new dark horse tomb robbing novel. Master Yao is not like the "treasure translator" like the captain who touched the gold - he can understand the "ghost talismans" in the tomb, can "talk a few words" with the rice dumplings, and has a "social interaction in the underworld"!
