I'm the mayor of a simulated ghost city

[Mayor Lu, please unlock the power supply system within 24 hours, find the power plant, enter it before 10 pm, survive for 6 hours, and restore one of the events].

"Swish." In the bathroom, Lu Yao was taking a shower, with the system's prompts lingering in his head.

In fact, what the system gave were task requirements, but some useful information could be extracted from it, so Lu Yao just took it as a hint.

The TV outside the bathroom was playing the 8 o'clock news in the morning. The headline of the news was: [Corpse Water Papaya Soup].

Undoubtedly, this news report is about the body hidden in the water tower of the West China Water Supply Plant that was discovered last night.

Once this incident was exposed, it caused a lot of public resentment. Public opinion was in an uproar for a time, and the people went to the city hall. The mayor was furious and handled the matter overnight. Those who should be dismissed were dismissed, and those who should be investigated were investigated.

And all of this was revealed by an enthusiastic unknown female citizen.

When the enthusiastic female citizen heard this, she looked at the TV through the small gap in the bathroom door. Mayor Lu’s face was not shown in the video, only his voice was recorded.

"Tsk, are you really that embarrassed? You've done so many shameful things, why didn't you think of not showing your face at that time? Didn't you cry so hard when you showed your face at my mom's funeral?"

Lu Yao retracted his head and continued to bathe in the water which was not too warm.

Her memory of her mother has begun to blur. After all, she was only five years old at that time. Her mother was crazy at that time and kept muttering about ghosts, but she didn't believe it. Now think about it, maybe her mother did see another world.

Unfortunately, she didn't believe it at that time.

Lu Mingsheng didn't believe it either, and was even worried that the citizens would know that his mayor's wife was a lunatic, so he locked her up and only left a neurologist to take care of her. Unexpectedly, his mother later became seriously ill and died, and the neurologist also died inexplicably not long after.

Now I wonder if it was a ghost that killed him?

So, if she continues along this path until the end, will she see the world her mother saw before?

......

After collecting her thoughts, the words "corpse water papaya soup" on TV made Lu Yao shudder. Fortunately, she didn't drink it because of the naughty child's noise, otherwise she would have vomited for three days and would have lost her appetite for drinking water.

Thinking of the naughty child, Lu Yao paused... Maybe she really knew Qin Yunlan's unfulfilled wish, so she should take some time to fulfill it for her.

However, Lu Yao is not free now, after all, she still has to unlock the power plant within 24 hours.

"The system sends out the task at 7:15, which means I need to complete the task before 7:15 tomorrow morning. But which power plant is it?"

Wuxiang is a big city. There is a Power Supply Bureau in the city center, which is an office department and operates on a 24-hour shift system. Ordinary people cannot enter. In addition, there are four branch bureaus in the southeast, northwest, northeast and southwest, which are functional departments with relatively complete equipment.

But after thinking it over, Lu Yao didn't think these were her targets.

"You can enter around 10 p.m., and these five are not within the actionable range."

Lu Yao thought about it and realized that the power plant was not as poorly managed as the water plant in Heping Village.

After all, firstly, the Heping Village Water Plant was about to close down, secondly, it was a small construction company, and thirdly, it was only a half-establishment company, so she could get in even if she was not well-informed.

But the power plant is different. You can't get in through the main corridor, but you have to climb over the wall...

Emmmmm...If she can acquire the skill to resist electricity next time, she might consider it. Otherwise, she won't be able to get through the electric grid.

Also, the system prompted another key point, asking her to find one of the events, which meant that more than one strange incident occurred in the power plant.

"The Wuxiang City Power Supply Bureau was put into use 25 years ago. The earliest one was the West Branch. Is it possible that several incidents occurred in 25 years without anyone noticing?"

Lu Yao hesitated, put his head under the shower, recalled what happened last night, shook his head, and rejected the idea.

After a while, she dried her hair and walked to the bathroom door. She paused for a moment and immediately thought: "Wait, 25 years ago, what about 25 years ago? Before that, there was no official designated electricity supply, but private power plants. So is it possible that the power plant I'm looking for is not the current one, but the one in the past."

After figuring it out, Lu Yao quickly returned to the computer, opened the web page, and searched according to his own thoughts. As expected, he found that the predecessor of the West Branch was a privately contracted power plant, which was located on County Road 444 behind Xishan Mountain to the west of the West Branch. It was called "Guangming Power Plant."

When Lu Yao saw the name of County Road 444, his scalp went numb: "Is there something wrong with you? Don't you know it's unlucky? You actually chose this route, who would dare to take it!"

After saying that, Lu Yao sighed again. Well, she dared to leave.

Continuing to browse the web page, Lu Yao found a small amount of relevant information. After all, the Guangming Power Plant had been abandoned and there was not much information available.

It turns out that the original site of the West Power Supply Bureau was the Guangming Power Plant. After the power reform was brought under official supervision and hydropower was used instead, the West Branch was relocated to the vicinity of the current Xiba.

"That is to say, the previous Guangming Power Plant mainly relied on thermal power generation, which is indeed a bit coal-consuming and polluting..." After thinking about it, Lu Yao pulled his cheek and said, "Hey, why should I care about these things!"

Lu Yao withdrew from the serious information, flipped through several pages of web pages, and finally found something in a supernatural forum.

If you use normal thinking to find the tasks given by the simulated ghost market, you may not be able to find the connection even if you search for 24 hours, so you have to find another way.

Click on the post, and the content of the post is a picture with text and pictures.

The text is: [Don’t tell, don’t ask, don’t spread, these are the supernatural photos circulated from Guangming Power Plant].

As for the picture, it is a gray group photo, which looks like it was taken not long after Guangming Power Plant was built. A group of workers, a total of 16 people, stood at the gate of the construction site to take a photo to commemorate the start of the construction. They looked neat and tidy, except...

The third row in the middle of the photo...

A man has his back to the photo, and only the back of his dark head can be seen. Completely contrary to everyone's front-facing photos, he is standing anyway!

Of course, it does look a little weird at first glance, but it can't be called supernatural.

Therefore, most of the comments under the post are questions.

[OP, what's so strange about this? What if that person just likes taking photos upside down? ]

[So, the OP wants to say that person is a ghost? ]

[Don't say these things, come up with something more exciting! ]

[I have something exciting upstairs, +v0002000. ]

[Malicious post, reported.]

【...】

[I heard that a lot of things happened at Guangming Power Plant from its establishment to its closure. That place is unlucky. I live nearby and there are ghosts howling at night.]

[@12th floor, is that a ghost crying or a wolf howling? ]

【@13th floor, you are the one who cares! 】

【...】

Gradually, this post turned into a war of words between the two people. Several pages were filled with content that had nothing to do with the power plant. Lu Yao flipped through the pages and casually made a cup of sleeping tea.

The post was published in 2020, five years ago.

The two people quarreled for a year and the quarrel continued in 2021. The poster has only left one comment since posting the photo, which was a year after the post was submerged, in 2022.

He said: [The reason why I say he is supernatural is that in the photo, except for the person with his back to the camera, everyone else is dead!]

“Puff——” Lu Yao spat out a mouthful of sleeping tea, “???”
