During the process of time travel, I fused with a computer, which evolved into a super brain. It seems pretty amazing. But this is a bizarre world, hey! I am now a walking supercomputer with computing power so strong that I can use the butterfly effect to influence unrelated people. I can even calculate and predict the future accurately. Is this considered knowing the will of heaven? By using scientific analysis to decipher mysteries, there is nothing in this world that cannot be calculated to reveal the truth. If there is, it's just a matter of insufficient energy. Yang energy is nothing more than the energy emitted from cellular metabolism.

Dragon Pattern Scroll Collection Fiction
Dragon Pattern Scroll Collection

Synopsis: Longtuge was built during the Northern Song Dynasty and housed various books, artworks, and scrolls, resembling a modern-day library. The most renowned "curator" of Longtuge was Bao Zheng, the Direct Scholar of Longtuge and the magistrate of Kaifeng. This story, obviously fictional, revolves around a large family of mice and cats who unravel ancient unsolved cases within the collection of Longtuge, as well as unsolved cases brought in from various jurisdictions. While this ancient detective story retains most of the characters from the "Guxing" series, it is completely separate from the original storyline and has no connection whatsoever. Therefore, please do not confuse the two, as the plot has no continuity and stands as a unique and fresh story.

Extreme chill Fiction
Extreme chill

Can a person who always sees ghosts be happy? Well, here's a friendly reminder. This book is filled with violence, darkness, bloodshed, and perversion. It lacks any positive energy and gives off a constant sense of oppression throughout. This book is not suitable for the average person, nor is it suitable for upright individuals and gentlemen. Of course, these issues can only be realized after reading further; they cannot be experienced by only reading the initial chapters. As for me, I enjoy digging pits and don't care about filling them. This book sets traps within traps, and once you step into one, it's hard to get out. Everyone should proceed with caution. Book club: (This is definitely not a paranormal group; there are many cute girls in the group...)
