Synopsis

The hearse with the weird odor slowed to a stop before the entrance. The sound of pebbles could be heard bouncing on the ceiling. There were footsteps coming from the corridor, and there seemed to be someone sawing next door. The door knob to the room rattled slightly, and the faucet in the bathroom kept dripping even though it had been screwed shut. There was a rubber ball that rolled on its own underneath the bed. Wet footsteps started to surface one after another on the floor. At 3 am, Chen Ge held a cleaver in his hand as he hid beside the room heater. The call he was trying to make was finally answered. "Landlord, is this what you meant by 'the house can be a little crowded at night'‽"

Well, it can create a sense of dread through the destruction of familiar things. When the story starts to break down the normal world we know, like cities crumbling or nature going haywire because of the cosmic horror, it makes us feel uneasy. Then there's the psychological aspect. If the characters start to lose their minds in the face of the horror, it makes us fear for our own sanity. And the idea that the horror is eternal, that it has always been there and will always be there, lurking in the background, really amps up the sense of dread.
