I Can Read the Memories of the Dead

Gu Xiao buys haunted houses. He specifically seeks out houses where someone has died, buys them at a low price, and then resells them. It's dirty work, but he does it anyway. When he touches something, the last thing the deceased saw is transferred to his eyes. Once, only once. So he has to find out before the house is sold—once it's sold, he'll never be able to read it again. The one on hand is Unit 801 in Cuihu Garden. He pushes open the door and reads a pair of dangling feet. There's only one shoe on the windowsill. And the seven houses in this area have all been "taken care of." — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: I Can Read the Memories of the Dead — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
