I'm the mayor of a simulated ghost city

Xiao Zheng was so scared that he sat on the ground and backed away repeatedly. He didn't know why, but just after shouting, he felt a burning sensation in his throat, as if someone had locked his throat from the inside and he was suffocating.

Wrong...it's an illusion!

Xiao Zheng didn't think much about it. He thought that maybe he was scared, which was why he had this strange feeling.

However, at this moment Zhang Shuo suddenly stepped forward, grabbed the hand, and suddenly, he pulled the hand out.

Suddenly, a big bulge appeared on the ground, and the hand almost broke out of the ground. A man playing the clown was pulled out of the mechanism on the ground and turned to the side. Before he could scare anyone, Zhang Shuo grabbed his neck.

Lingling was shocked by the sudden scene. She saw her colleague had no time to react. His face, which was painted with white paint, began to turn red. He shouted, "Ah! You can't beat up NPCs!"

Zhang Shuo glanced at Lingling, then suddenly withdrew his hand and evaded the question: "Oh, you scared me, I thought it was a real ghost."

Liu Peng was watching from the side, sweating coldly. He was not scared by the "ghost", but by Zhang Shuo. Although he knew Zhang Shuo's situation, this was the first time he saw him kill someone.

The clown NPC lay on the ground and coughed for a long time before coming to his senses: "Oh my god, man, how come you have such strong hands? This NPC is really a dangerous profession."

Lingling ran to the front of the clown. Unlike the clown, she did not think that what had just happened was a misunderstanding. She had just been standing by and clearly saw Zhang Shuo taking action. Her eyes were full of bloodshot and she had an excitement that she could not hide, as if he could kill anyone, whether it was a human or a ghost, at will.

Lingling was a little excited: "Why are you like this? You just do it so casually. Aren't we just playing in a haunted house?"

Seeing Lingling was being serious, Liu Peng tried to smooth things over: "Oh, it's not a big deal. An NPC should be prepared to be beaten. This is the professional quality of an employee. It's a good thing that we are here to have fun today. If someone else does this next time, be careful of complaints. Which store in my mall would have such pretentious staff? Okay, get up if you have nothing to do."

"What are you talking about!" Lingling stood up suddenly, but was stopped by the clown NPC.

I just heard the clown NPC say: "Manager Liu is right. I am fine. It's normal to suffer a little grievance when trying to make a living."

After saying that, the clown NPC pulled Lingling over and whispered in Lingling's ear: "Lingling, you didn't know until you got here. This piece of land has changed several shopping malls and bosses, but only Manager Liu is ironclad."

"Our store seemed to be very popular in other places before, but in fact, because our theme occupies too much space, we are almost losing money in business and can't hold on any longer. Fortunately, when we were about to disband, Manager Liu recruited us and gave us a 50% discount on the rent. That's why we moved to Wuxiang. If we had angered him and refused to rent to us, we would have been finished."

Hearing the clown NPC say this, Lingling had to calm down: "I understand, Brother Long, I will play with them."

"Well, go ahead. Don't be so stubborn. If you are really scared, just make up an excuse. You know where our secret passage is, right? Come out first. The programmer is being watched by the store manager. It's okay."

While Lingling was talking to the clown, Liu Peng and Zhang Shuo also came outside and talked in low voices.

Liu Peng asked, "Master Zhang, did you have another attack just now?"

"Well, just now after Xiao Zheng screamed, I felt a strong ghost energy, but that thing was running too fast. Every time I smell a strong ghost energy, I want to kill people, tear everything apart, and take all the power for myself."

"This thing is really troublesome, can't you control it?"

"Humph, what's so good about controlling it?" Zhang Shuo waved his hand disdainfully. "I'm a hundred years old, and I can kill anyone I want. When I was in bed 404 at Renhe Hospital, I killed so many people. Anyway, I can always find a replacement. Once I change my identity, no one can catch me."

......

On the other side, in front of the carousel, Lu Yao was adjusting the instrument rod to make the carousel turn.

Under Lu Yao's operation, after a while, the colorful lights on the top of the abandoned carousel lit up and a "squeak, squeak" sound was heard.

"Well, it's done." As he spoke, the carousel began to turn slowly, and a reminder sound came from the speaker above his head: [That day, I went to the amusement park with six friends and saw the red-nosed uncle. The red-nosed uncle gave each of us a balloon. He said that our heads were like balloons. He picked up a gun and shot at the balloons, and fireworks went off from the heads of the friends. ]

Following the prompt, Lu Yao looked at the wall, where there were also two missing person posters.

"The missing person notice appeared in the third chapter." Lu Yao said, thinking for a moment, "So, the background of this secret room is about a clown in an amusement park who killed a child. But why is it named Paradise?"

"Because it's an amusement park. It's extremely fun!" Gu Mingxiao analyzed without thinking.

Well, you have a point.

"But then again, I think it's not enough to just find out what happened here. We should also explore the reasons why the clown turned into a child killer."

Wang Yun heard this and rubbed his temples with a headache: [Others come to play in the escape room to seek the atmosphere, you are here to do the decoding. Don't talk about finding the reason why the clown turned into a murderer. We, the producers, have never thought of this reason.]

Lu Yao didn't know what Wang Yun was thinking at the moment, and he just analyzed it with Gu Mingxiao: "According to the image of a clown, he is always silent and keeps smiling. Suppose there has always been such a clown in the amusement park. He usually keeps silent and attracts the children's love. Until one day, he makes a sound, and his voice is very unpleasant, scaring the children to tears."

Wang Yun blinked and thought again: [Well, this story is well conceived.]

"The clown who originally brought smiles now made children cry. He was complained by parents, reprimanded by the manager, and kicked out of the amusement park. He had nowhere to go and could only live on the streets. His smile gradually became hideous. He committed suicide with a toy gun while smiling..."

Listening to the story conceived by Lu Yao, Wang Yun felt a little creepy.

Lu Yao seemed to be immersed in it, and continued to say: "After the clown committed suicide, the amusement park was as happy and joyful as ever, until one day, a girl disappeared beside the carousel. She stood in front of the carousel and saw a red balloon flying over the carousel..."

Having said this, Wang Yun rubbed his eyes and saw incredulously that a red balloon slowly flew up from behind a wooden horse.

"The balloon came in front of the girl. The girl saw a clown inside the balloon. The clown laughed at her. Suddenly, the balloon exploded!"

"Bang!" As Lu Yao told the story, the red balloon exploded in front of Wang Yun's eyes, and the blood plasma inside sprayed all over his face.

Wang Yun yelled, "Ah! We were wrong! We just thought your story had a selling point. We will never dare to use your story again!"

Hearing this, Lu Yao took the opportunity to ask, "How much do you know about his story?"
