The new book The Devil's Exam has been released and is currently being serialized with great fervor. If you happen to find a horror movie poster from the Hell Cinema, you will discover that your name appears in the list of actors.

As the plot unfolds, chilling and bizarre curses, and the ever-present shadows of restless spirits, will begin to descend upon you. The dark corridors, the silent morgue — you will be forced to play out one horror film after another. Sometimes, you will be the protagonist, other times, merely a background character. Only by collecting enough "redemption tickets" can you escape the Hell Cinema. Ye Xiang, an ordinary office worker, one fateful night after a late shift, stumbles upon a horror movie poster in a dark hallway… This work is not a simple, pure horror novel like Hell Apartments, but rather my attempt at transformation. It is a blend of mutant infinite flow, fantasy, and supernatural elements.

Seeing someone's name on the cellphone screen, the man immediately picked up the phone without wasting time and heard a loud and angry voice from the other side. "What happened Jack?! Did you find the box or not?" Hearing the man's voice, Jack said nervously, "No! Sir, but don't worry, I will find that box very soon and bring it to you!" "Finish this work quickly, and yes, if you come without that box, I will not leave you alive!" Saying this, the phone gets disconnected from the other side. Jack wipes the sweat from his forehead and walks towards the corridor. Then suddenly a foul smell spreads all around. "What kind of smell is this? Maybe it is the smell of a rat being killed!" Saying this, Jack moves forward. While going from the corridor to the other side, many black shadows were also walking behind Jack. While walking, Jack goes inside a room, then suddenly the door leading outside closes with a loud bang and one by one all the lights go off. And darkness engulfs all around. Seeing this, Jack immediately turns on the torch light of his phone and says in panic, "Who is it?" Then a scary growling sound starts coming. Something like water was falling on Jack's head from above. Seeing this, when Jack put his hand on his head, his whole hand became red with blood. Seeing this, Jack's breathing slows down and his heart starts beating fast.
