   "On the day she signed the divorce agreement, Lin Suisui squeezed the 999 roses given by Fu Siyan into juice. The crimson liquid seeped into the cracks of the marble, which was very similar to the blood that was splashed on the operating lamp when she was taken out by caesarean section." The heroine has been using her body temperature to cover up the hero's stomach problems for ten years, but on the night of the diagnosis of gastric cancer, she found him drinking the millet porridge that she had cooked for four hours beside Bai Yueguang. This time she didn't cry or make a fuss. She folded the prescription into a paper boat and burned it to her younger self. When Fu Siyan finally learned how to make sober soup, Lin Suisui's lawyer was smiling with the equity transfer agreement: "Mr. Fu, what you want to coax is the dust raised when the business empire you raised personally collapsed."

   ### Story continuation: When the aftertaste of the last bell dissipated in the air, the man in the goat-head mask slowly raised his hands. His leather gloves had an eerie sheen under the dim light, and the breathing of ten people suddenly became clearly audible. "Welcome to the confessional." A mechanically synthesized electronic sound came from behind the mask, shocking the red-haired woman by the window and knocking over the rusty brass ashtray. The hollow echo made by the thing rolling onto the floor tiles made everyone realize that this room had no windows at all - what she had just knocked over was just a decoration embedded in the wall. The strong man in overalls suddenly stood up, and slapped his palms stained with engine oil on the cracks of the tabletop: "What the hell is this fucking show?" Before he could finish his roar, the gilt angel statue on the top of the clock suddenly turned its neck, and two red lights shot out from the dark eye sockets. Tiny red light spots appeared on the strong man's temples, and some kind of high-frequency buzzing sound exploded deep in everyone's cochlea. "First warning." The goat-headed fingers stroked the edge of the table, where a row of grooves engraved with Roman numerals appeared at some point. "When the clock completes twelve full chimes and there is still no consensus, your hearts will be like this -" The antique gramophone in the corner suddenly started automatically and played Chopin's "Funeral March". As the piano music reaches its sharpest notes, the entire east wall collapses, revealing a matrix of rust-covered gears behind it. A body wearing the same striped prison uniform as those present was being sent into the gap between the gears on the conveyor belt. The muffled sound of flesh and blood splashing in the metal bite made the ponytail girl's scream get stuck in her throat. "Now let's start the identity verification." Goat Head opened the front of his suit, and what he took out was not a weapon, but a stack of parchment with burnt edges. Bloody words appeared on each piece of paper. When the youngest curly-haired boy touched his own piece of paper, the surveillance footage of his hit-and-run accident three years ago suddenly appeared on the paper. The chandelier shook violently at this moment, and the shadow of a certain awakened person was elongated and projected to the ceiling, gradually twisting into the outline of a demon with two horns on its head. The woman in the white coat suddenly stared at her palm and sobbed - a series of countdown marks appeared there at some point, fading by the second with the ticking of the clock.
