Elements: Instances + supernatural powers + romance + lateral thinking puzzles + multiple twists

Blurb One

Twenty years ago, after a natural disaster, strange powers began erupting all over the world. Instances soon followed, and an agency named after the current year was established to fight these anomalies: the 17th Special Affairs Bureau.

Fu Yi is a broke college student with 250,000 yuan in debt. One day, while returning to her rented apartment as usual, her vision blurred for a moment, and she suddenly saw long black labels hovering above passersby.

The labels came in all sorts of baffling varieties, but one thing was certain: each was a brief summary of that person's current state.

At first, Fu Yi didn't think much of it. A few words would suddenly appear above people's heads when they came close to her, but otherwise, things were no different from usual.

But reality didn't unfold as Fu Yi expected. The range of her vision grew over time, and more and more labels appeared before her eyes. Everywhere she looked, they were packed together in a dense mass.

And all of this happened in just two days.

Fu Yi felt worse with each passing day and began to worry about the consequences of seeing the labels. After enduring it for two days, she finally decided to see a doctor.

Yet as Fu Yi sat in a psychiatric office filled with the smell of disinfectant, the bold black label [Executioner] hovering above the doctor's kindly smile seemed to warn her that this might not have been the right decision.

Everything around her gradually began to exceed the limits of her understanding. After repeatedly finding herself in passive situations, Fu Yi had no choice but to go with the flow. Fortunately, fate was on her side, and after narrowly escaping death, she finally reached her own turning point.

When Fu Yi was once again kept behind for questioning as a witness, the female police officer across from her, dressed in a navy uniform and radiating an unmistakably unusual air, smiled and told her two things.

First, the two people whose accidental deaths Fu Yi had witnessed had both died because of an anomalous force she had never heard of before: instances.

Second, where there were anomalies, there were naturally people capable of fighting them. However, it was harder than reaching the heavens for an ordinary person to awaken this kind of power.

Hearing this, Fu Yi raised an eyebrow, suddenly intrigued.

If it was harder than reaching the heavens for an ordinary person to awaken supernatural abilities, then suppose the labels were the supernatural ability she had awakened...

At this thought, Fu Yi slowly tilted her head and looked at a spot on her phone screen.

[Congratulations, Host. You have been bound to the Turtle Soup System. The boiling soup cooks souls; solving the riddle decides life and death.]

[The Turtle Soup System wishes you a pleasant journey.]

A plump, crimson turtle, about the size of an app icon, lay floating with its eyes closed on Fu Yi's phone screen.

Fu Yi blinked. What the heck was that...?
