I think that was solved as soon as the surgeon was rescued.
A small drizzle was falling when he came outside but Chen Ge did not mind it. He rushed then to Jiujiang's Children Home and worked through the red tape to adopt Fan Yu and Ying Tong. Initially he wanted to adopt the other few children as well but the procedure would not allow it. The reason that he could successfully adopt Fan Yu and Ying Tong was because the Children's Home had taken into consideration the two boys' unique situation and hence they allowed for this exception. Taking Fan Yu and Ying Tong back to the Haunted House was something that Chen Ge had planned a long time ago. His goal was for them to inherit the Haunted House and they would eventually one day become the new owner of the Castle of Nightmares. After dealing with all these things, Chen Ge grabbed some of his documents and made his next journey to the government registry office. - A_person_40162yrPosted
My house of horrors is an excellently written horror/mystery novel written by someone who could fix air conditioners, a rare skill in modern day, but what is even rarer is his ability to describe environments. It's a perfect balance of colors, objects, and characters without going into awful fanfiction territories (ex. I saw the blue car heading down the black road with a grey streetlight that had a yellow light). The story is generally well planned, the mystery is engaging, and when you finally think you know what the story is heading towards, the author pulls all that away from you and starts a new arc with a even larger mystery. The novel also does a good job setting up the villains. They were made to sound intimidating, and it's certainly achieved. The villains aren't pushovers by any means. Doctor Gao is certainly mysterious, the school of the afterlife is instilled inside the reader's mind since the beginning, the ghost fetus becomes more and more of a threat as the story progresses, and the Xin Hai hospital is the mystery itself. Over time, the story builds its narratives better than any other web novels. First, it was west Jiujiang, then the story builds up eastern jiujiang as an extremely dangerous place, and Xin Hai just kind of shows up in the middle. This is all good, but the story's over all pacing leaves much to be desired. Reading? No, most of what you will be doing is edging, and the author won't let you have any satisfaction until the end, and by that time, your experience is ruined. There were too many arcs, and some things, like the school of the afterlife, could have been reduced to make way for a calm before the storm. The hospital arc was too short, and I feel that more time could have been spent expanding Zhang Ya and Chen Ge's relationship inside the door. Lastly, while there were many tropes present inside the story, there were many clever ways to stop them from controlling the story. The system only provides small conveniences, and has importance within the plot, and the overpowered protagonist trope is often broken by several factors. 1, the world grows with Chen Ge, and as he grows, so does the danger. We start with encounters with baleful spirits, then fights with red sceptres, multiple red sceptres, and just when a small army is formed, the main character is already fighting gods. 2, (select) red sceptres need to hibernate before becoming combat ready after consuming a certain amount of other red sceptres. Zhang Ya is one of them, and while she is immensely powerful, she serves more of a 'deus ex machina' role rather than the tool to trivialise all danger, and even that is explained later on, how and why she was able to appear right when dangerous things happen. Anyways, don't sleep on this book. Turn on some spooky music, and enjoy 1200 chapters of a really good horror/mystery novel.

Just check the spirit list
After completing the Murder by Midnight Trial Mission, the Haunted House's scenario became the new home for Xiaoxiao's family. If I follow this similar train of thought… Chen Ge's face twitched with discomfort. It meant that there were twenty-four lingering spirits who had moved into his Haunted House. - A_person_40162yrReplied to Shirophren"You're pushing the blame onto a dead man? That is your argument?" After making sure that Fan Yu's aunt had no more sharp weapons on her, he relaxed slightly.

"From the very beginning, I didn't trust you, and this drawing provides me with the crucial evidence. The drawing on the back was drawn by your hand. Do you think a child's art is that easily mimicked? Don't look at me like that; you're the one who made the mistake. If you don't want to get exposed, don't do the evil deed in the first place." Chen Ge picked up the paring knife from the floor, and the blade glinted coldly in the dark. "You're the one who killed Fan Yu's parents, right? Regardless of your reason, how could you kill your own family in cold blood?" - A_person_40162yrReplied to Lumen214
That's one high quality surprised Pikachu face.
"They are probably right. I'm probably too tired, or else why would I think the pair of eyes look so similar to the class teacher's eyes?" - A_person_40162yrCommented
What kinda weed he be smokin'?
The boy looked down the dark well for a long time before answering, "Heaven." - A_person_40162yrCommented

"Okay, thank you for your cooperation." The officer smiled. He waved at the reporters beside him, opened the box in his hand, and announced in an official tone, "For providing the murder case at Ping An Apartments with crucial evidence, Jiujiang Municipal Bureau for Public Security is awarding this Level Three Public Security Medal of Honor to Chen Ge! Hopefully, Chen Ge will appreciate this honor and continue to contribute to the maintenance and improvement of the public security of our society!" - A_person_40162yrCommented
Just imagine Gasai Yuno as the ghost. It becomes much less scary.
Upon closer inspection, the chair looked similar to the one Chen Ge had seen inside the girl's dormitory; it was likely one of the chairs the school management assigned to the dormitory rooms. - A_person_40162yrCommented
It's probably for social distancing reasons. Our school set up chairs in the middle of hallways to split the foot traffic into two lanes, thus increasing distance between people going in different directions.
If the chair was purposely left behind by the school management, then what is the meaning of it? If it was not left behind by the school, then who moved the chair to the middle of the corridor after the place was locked up? - A_person_40162yrCommented

Chen Ge introduced all of the tenants to his viewers, and when he was done, he added his own analysis. "In terms of motive, the landlord is definitely the most suspicious, but his movement speed is hindered due to his limp. So, viewed from this perspective, the tattoo guy on first floor and the fat man on second floor have the greatest possibility of being the killer. Of course, one can't ignore the woman and the seemingly weak Wang Qi." - A_person_40162yrCommented
Still better than genshin rates
Looking at the information on screen, Chen Ge felt like his head was spinning. Cursed Love Letter? A 3/1000 chance of winning it? The Specters' Favored? Before resolving the matter with the creature in the mirror, now I'm blessed with another one‽ I don't even know whether I should consider myself lucky or unlucky. - A_person_40162yrCommented
The good 'ol uncanny valley
"Senior, how come I feel like these paper mannequins are looking at us?" He San grabbed hold of the wooden door, refusing to step into the room. "I'm not kidding! Something must be wrong with them! Could it be that they're all living people playing dress-up‽ F*ck, I have a feeling they're all going to move soon enough!" - A_person_40162yrReplied to daddi_pezzi

good luck with that :)
"Arggh, not this shit again," he said as he looked at the app that repeatedly appeared on his screen, RAID: SHADOW LEGENDS. He was disturbed by that ad due to the fact that the add appeared repeatedly in every single thing that he saw. - A_person_40163yrPosted
Listen. I'm a simple man. I see Gender-Bender anywhere in the story, automatic >4 stars. The story was good, and I could tell the author really like writing about guns. The characters aren't like flat cardboard cutouts, and unlike almost all the books on this platform, some actual fücking thought has been put into character dev. The one issue I have with the book are the grammar mistakes. While they don't render the story unreadable, still makes it hard to enjoy a fight scene when a sentence that is clearly a run on sentence disrupts your reading experience completely I like cheese.
