It has been more than two years since I wrote the article. I originally planned to write a story about the four bad guys from hell, but because I was new to online writing, I knew that I had little talent and little knowledge, and my writing was rough, so I chose the less popular supernatural genre first.
Use a short story to practice your writing skills and see the reaction.
"The Ghost Crying and Catching the Ghost" is this short story.
When I realized later, this experimental work had taken up more imagination and time than I expected. I wanted to end it several times, but new inspiration always appeared, driving me to continue it.
More attempts.
So the short story became a long story.
Supernatural, time travel, martial arts, online games, detectives, cities, supernatural powers, Western fantasy. I was a little unscrupulous and got carried away. Even if it is an experimental product, this book has fulfilled its mission to a super level, and it is time to die.
Or... at least take a vacation first.

Perhaps in some remote corner of such a temple, Holmes and his Dr. Watson may temporarily find a place, and cede the stage they originally occupied to a shrewd detective and a more unscrupulous person.
