[Updated before midnight. If there’s no update, my thesis got me.]
[Please don’t let my story pile up unread, okay? QAQ]
[Welcome to the Turtle Soup Game.
“Beep! Fingerprint verification failed.”
“Beep! Fingerprint verification failed.”
“Beep! Fingerprint verification successful.”
Just my luck... I’m dead.]
[Rewind chances remaining: 3]
Feng Zi woke up to find himself wearing a shabby bunny-boy outfit: ...
Damn it, even if I did study Chinese language and literature, I don’t deserve this!
A cold voice sounded in his mind.
[No, Host. You were chosen by this System. You are one of a kind.]
Feng Zi, a wage slave whose pockets were usually emptier than his face: ...
Sorry, but not a single person feels honored. Thanks.
Thanks for asking. What do I do if I transmigrate and the System can’t speak like a normal person?
The changing rooms, the bloodstains at the door, the cake mixed with shards of glass, the brand-new fingerprint lock, the sickeningly sweet texts from his husband: everything was bizarre. Feng Zi was still trying to make sense of it all when he suddenly heard the fingerprint lock beep.
[“Beep! Fingerprint verification failed.”]
His beloved lay outside the door, covered in blood.
[“Beep! Fingerprint verification successful.”]
A pitch-black gun barrel pointed at the space between his brows.
[Just my luck...]
The young man in the pool of blood breathed his last.
...Oh. So that’s what this is.
[Rewind chances remaining: 2]
“So, what did you do to get out?”
The young man in a police uniform asked. The camera was recording everything faithfully. Outside the glass partition of the interrogation room, several psychological experts carefully observed the young man’s expression.
“I didn’t escape. I acted in self-defense.”
“I was in immediate danger the whole time. Killing him in self-defense is perfectly legal, right?” Feng Zi answered with a smile, seemingly glancing at the camera without thinking.
“Of course, my husband helped out, too.”
Feng Zi looked away from the camera and met the eyes of another police officer.
He licked his lips teasingly, then mouthed without a sound:
“Dar...ling?”
Under the disbelieving gaze of his subordinates, You Zhenghuan remained expressionless. “As the sole owner of the Turtle Soup System, your file will be kept under encryption. Thank you for your cooperation.”
The man’s eyes were gentle.
“The Huainian Special Affairs Bureau welcomes you aboard.”
Bonus scene ↓
The new researcher rubbed his hands together eagerly. “The Huainian Live Observation System is finally up and running. Let’s see what the rising star of the Operations Division and the director are up to.”
Researcher B: “...I wouldn’t recommend watching.”
Researcher A: “Why not? Wow, the rising star solved it again. Wait, doesn’t that hurt? He’s really going all out. So dedicated.”
Researcher B: “Yes.”
Researcher A: “The director’s so reliable. That’s some professional bandaging. No wonder he’s such a considerate director who values his subordinates! He even cares about their mental health! What a great leader!”
Researcher B: “...Yes?”
Researcher A: “...Wait, did the director just call him ‘baby’?”
Researcher B: “Yes.”
Researcher A: “...They’re kissing...?”
Researcher B: “...Yes.”
Researcher A: “...I guess they are a pretty good match.”
Researcher B: “...?”

A very unserious horror infinite-flow novel. Very wholesome!
Spreading positive energy!

Answers are limited to: yes, no, or unrelated.
Any resemblance to stories in the instances is purely coincidental.
Everything in this novel is entirely fictional.
Nothing is meant to allude to real life.
I’m an absolutely incorrigible reviser.
Red soup: Someone dies.
Clear soup: No one dies.
Black soup: Everyone dies.
Fair-play mystery: Something that could happen in real life.
Soup surface: The riddle.
Soup bottom: The truth.
Theme: The praise of humanity is the praise of courage.
The answer to v is that both the author and the readers are really at a loss 💔. In fact, you can just put in a leave request and take your time.
New characters have appeared, let's reimagine them: 1. "Fifty cents changed his life." Zhang Leyao came from a poor family. It is reasonable to guess that her grandmother set up a stall to sell handmade products to support her education. Cattail fans/bamboo baskets are small gadgets worth a few cents, which fits the general meaning of "fifty cents." In addition, we often say that "study changes destiny/the college entrance examination is the way for most ordinary people to change their destiny." Therefore, my grandmother sold "50 cents" handicrafts to support Zhang Leyao's schooling. It can also be said that the accumulation of these 50 cents gave Zhang Leyao a way to change his destiny. 2. Zhang Leyao endorsed by relying on the street lamp and looking at the night light in the stall next door. Could this possibly imply that there is no light at home? (It's a bit far-fetched and I feel like I'm over-interpreting it). In addition, it implies that Zhang Leyao has a talent for design and can observe the details of handicrafts in daily life. 3. Some of the scenes in the article where the protagonist is dizzy, the reason is not clear in the corridor; the otaku squatting in the house on the third floor may be a negative example (getting something for nothing without making progress); the college man in the noodle shop is a positive example (work-study, or it may be the successful case of changing life with 50 cents in the title, after all, it is the male "him"). 4. The article emphasizes the heat of the weather many times (severe heat). The first one is that the corridor is too hot and the protagonist feels dizzy due to heatstroke. The second one is that the homeboy turns on a fan. The third one is that the protagonist's family is sweating and buys a fan. I have a strange guess, will someone die from the heat? (For example, in "See You on the Rooftop, Heroes", someone was tied up after going to the rooftop. When the weather was hot, he was left on the rooftop and soon suffered from heatstroke. He was not discovered and was not treated in time. Finally, he died of heat stroke.) 5. The protagonist is currently in a regular class. My deskmate Zhang Leyao has a talent for design (Draft of Tears of the Goddess) and has a university she wants to apply for. I guess she wants to go to the art and design department of a comprehensive university, but it is difficult to be an art student, and the tuition is very high. It is a bit difficult to live on only 50 cents. I suspect that if this girl is also involved in the case, she is either the victim (for example, the design of "Tears of the Goddess" was discovered by other students and ridiculed, or she told the teacher that she did not study well and was 80), or the perpetrator (for example, lying to conceal key events/perjury to save tuition? But Zhang Leyao is also a kind girl, so in the end she will not commit some self-harm because of her guilty conscience?) 6. The title is Tears of the Goddess. I guess "Don't Let the Tears Fall" refers to the girl's dream of being admitted to an ideal university and an ideal major. For this reason, she is also working hard to improve her artistic attainments (drawing manuscripts) in addition to her studies. She does not want to fail (she does not want to shed tears of regret). "Don't let the tears fall again" may be due to financial reasons in the end (maybe the tuition was stolen by the otaku on the third floor, after all, there are small advertisements for unlocking outside the door). The girl's dream was shattered. She dropped out of school to set up a stall to make money and worked hard to realize her dream. 7. I don't know what I'm talking nonsense about.
Mrs! You have been kidnapped by the paper for a long time! I have been kidnapped by the contract for a long time! When will you come back? I've finished finishing my exhibition, and you haven't come back yet 😭 😭 😭
? No leave or explanation. . . Is this going to be a trap?
The deceased was a neighbor who had appeared before (?! Could the name on the honor list be his! Then he should also be a high school student, but he was previously described as squatting at home. Could it be that he dropped out of school because of campus bullying? But what I am most curious about is the relationship between "me" and the neighbor, and the relationship between Zhang Leyao and this boy... Turtle Soup is so difficult to guess ahhhhhh I am really a super low hand 😭
The Hall of Fame made me feel that the world of Turtle Soup is really scary. When searching for evidence, the key clues were all blurred with blood, and the deceased in the real world outside may have left quietly in a corner... I didn't get the truth 🤔
Tears refer to the accessory Tears of the Goddess, right? So is Zhang also the one being bullied? The people who are going to die won't be just the few people the protagonist thinks are wrong, they can't all be dead.
Goddess, I really like the theme of turtle soup. Although it is a pity that I have solved the v, I still hope that Goddess Three Times will go well. I hope that new chapters will be dropped if I click in occasionally. The two very cute protagonists aaaa Goddess are really well written without being procrastinating or cumbersome. Anyway, I hope Goddess Three Times will be happy. I hope there will be an update after three times of happiness. I want to eat [Cat Claw] [Purple Sugar]
I woke up early in the morning and was shocked to hear the bad news 😭 😭 😭 I really like this article. Will my wife really come back? I will wait for you. Don't give up. I haven't seen xql together 😭 😭 😭
Come on... I'm also working hard to catch up on my dissertation and find a job (tired). I really like the puzzle solving in this article. Let's start fattening up the food and wait until the big one comes back [Rose]
