After I Entered a Suspense Novel

Upcoming female-led, no-romance novel: The Strange Museum

I transmigrated into a book, specifically the mystery novel I'd written myself.

At this moment, inside my rented apartment at one in the morning, I was staring through the peephole at the murderer outside my door.

Just then, I remembered a popular question from the internet: You're looking through the peephole and see a murderer killing someone. Suddenly, the murderer notices you watching and is about to break down your door. As a person with high emotional intelligence, what do you do?

The answers from netizens were:

A. Immediately look in the mirror and fix your appearance.

B. Twist your body, then escape between his legs.

C. Call your neighbor and tell them their food delivery is at the door.

D. Open the door, lean close to his ear, and say, "I have high emotional intelligence."

E. An obtuse angle.

All right, back to reality. If you were me, what would you do?

Pick your answer and enter the book with me to uncover the truth.

Before you read:

1. This is an imaginative story, so readers who demand rigorous details should stay away.

2. All cases are fictional. Any similarities are purely coincidental.

3. The first few hundred words and the inner monologue are in first person; everything else is in third person.

4. One-on-one romance. The second female lead's true identity is revealed quite late.

Upcoming novel blurb:

Feng Wuxu's mother disappeared, leaving her a private museum and three employees with nowhere to go.

When one of the employees knocked on her door to break the bad news, Feng Wuxu remained expressionless. "Oh, so she disappeared. It's not the first time. I'm used to it."

But when the employee told her that her mother had left her a museum, her eyes suddenly lit up. "A museum? A private one, too! You can take any antique painting or calligraphy out to auction and get hundreds of thousands, even millions. Doesn't that mean I'm rich?!"

Oh, my dear mother, after all these years, you've finally told me I'm a rich second-generation kid! I knew you'd been keeping this secret just to surprise me today.

But when Feng Wuxu excitedly arrived at the museum, she found that nothing was as she'd imagined.

There were no antiques or paintings at all, just a pile of junk: love letters, battered notebooks, broken tape recorders, dolls picked up off the street. There wasn't a single valuable thing.

No, there was one thing: a thousand-year-old, perfectly preserved female corpse, worth a fortune. But selling that would be illegal.

Mom, you're really asking for trouble!

Museum rules:

1. The collections are completely safe inside their display cases. Do not remove them.

2. Hearing sounds on a deserted night is normal, but do not try to talk to them.

3. If you see a collection escape from its display case, notify the staff immediately.

4. Museum tickets cost 25 yuan per person. Sneaking in will lead to terrible consequences.

5. No one except the archivist may enter the archives.

6. If you see an endless corridor, do not open any doors without permission.

7. Do not enter the final exhibition hall.

To be continued...

Theme: The law is the nation's balance and the standard of the times.
