I'm the mayor of a simulated ghost city

A bright light came in from outside, which hurt Lu Yao's eyes. She blocked it with her hand and turned over. Then, she heard a sharp sound, which was particularly explosive.

"Number, why don't you get up quickly? It's time for exercise! Number, get up!"

Along with the roar, there was the sound of knocking on the door.

Lu Yao scratched his ear, made an irritable "tsk" sound, opened his eyes, sat up, and climbed out of the bed: "What are you doing! Whoever has the loudest voice is right?"

As he spoke, Lu Yao paused slightly, sat on a hard bed, and glanced at the dark grey walls around him and the three-meter-high air vent above his head.

After a moment, she looked at the orange clothes she was wearing.

"???"

where am I? What am I doing?

As Lu Yao was thinking about this, the woman in orange clothes sitting opposite him had already climbed out of bed. There was a number written on her orange clothes: [7].

"Someone called me just now? My name is this?"

Well, now she has a more important question than where she is, who is she?!

She found that a full minute had passed since she woke up, and her mind was still blank.

She seemed to have forgotten who she was, even: "Am I a human?"

"Hey! New here, what are you doing alone?" The woman next door interrupted Lu Yao's thoughts and gave her a look, "The warden is watching outside."

Lu Yao followed her gaze and saw outside the iron gate a very fat woman in a blue uniform, glaring at her with her hands folded and stamping her feet.

The woman's figure was nothing special, compared to her face.

Because Lu Yao saw that the woman's mouth actually grew to the roots of her ears, and when she opened her mouth, she looked like the big-faced cat in a horror story.

Looking at the woman, she always felt that if she were a human, she would be afraid. But... she was not afraid, so she was not a human!

After thinking for a while, Lu Yao responded: "Oh, something?"

Hearing Lu Yao's calm response, her "roommate" was surprised and turned to look at Lu Yao again. The appearance of this prison warden really frightened her when she woke up for the first time, and she thought she saw a ghost. Therefore, she didn't dare to do anything rash.

I didn't expect that this new girl with a clean-looking face wouldn't have any fear.

Upon hearing this, the warden slammed the cell door and said, "I told you to get out now! It's time for exercise. The newcomer doesn't know any rules. Teach her!"

The warden pointed at number 2000 and said, "Hurry up! There are still five minutes left. Come out and gather!"

After watching the prison warden turn around, Lu Yao clearly discovered that a layer of skin was missing from the prison warden's back, as if he had been forced down by someone.

Sure enough, something was not right about this place. Although she had no memories now, her brain was not broken. No matter how she looked at it, this place seemed weird. There was red mist floating in the air, which looked like...like what?

She always felt that she should be able to blurt out this word, but she just couldn't.

"How did I get here? What happened?"

Seeing Lu Yao at a loss, No. 7 came over and snapped his fingers in front of her: "Hey, stop daydreaming. Pack up and get out quickly. No matter where you were a big sister before, you have to obey the management when you come to the prison."

Big sister? Lu Yao looked up and saw that roommate No. 7 had a long scar on her face and large tattoos on her arms. She did look like a big sister.

"What's your name?" Lu Yao asked tentatively.

"We don't need names here. In fact, not knowing a name is a good thing." Number 7 had the aloofness of a big sister, and her words did not sound kind.

"Why is it a good thing?" She didn't like chatting people up, but Lu Yao was willing to chat with her. She vaguely felt that she should be an e-person!

"Because anyone who remembered their name would be taken away, and never come back." No. 7 said, pointing to the cell across from them. "Look, there were originally two people across from them, one of them was a woman. Like you, she didn't follow the rules when she first arrived, so she was taken away not long after."

Lu Yao didn't care: "Just take him away, who knows. The rule here is whoever guesses his name correctly can be released."

Number 7 glanced at Lu Yao and said, "You're dreaming. This is not what you think it will take you away. It will take you to the 'hell' below." As he said that, Number 7 pointed to the ground with his foot.

"What kind of hell?"

No. 7 was not a talkative person. In response to Lu Yao’s question, she shrugged impatiently, then pushed open the door that had just been opened by the warden and came to the corridor.

She pointed her finger at an elevator opposite, which had floor markings on it.

They were on the first floor of the prison.

Then there was the underground floor of the prison, on which there was a sign: [Bone Removal Punishment].

Prison basement level 2: [Gift of Hunger].

Prison negative three floors: [Drowning journey].

The fourth floor of the prison: [Burning Fire].

Prison negative fifth floor: [Buried].

Lu Yao looked at the five levels of hell and roughly understood that those who were disobedient would serve their sentences, while those who were obedient would only need to do exercises, eat, sleep and work tomorrow.

Well, any salted fish would like to lie flat on the ground.

And when I looked at the rules next to it, I saw the daily menu written on it. There were four dishes and one soup that changed every day, and one dish every day was fish, meat or seafood. It was really delicious. Not only that, the quilts in the cell were all silk quilts, so compared to the prison below, one was heaven and the other was hell.

Seeing this, No. 7 walked up to Lu Yao and said, "Did you see that? As long as you behave yourself and don't break the rules, you can serve your sentence well in prison."

"So, what are the rules?" If this is so good, why would anyone risk breaking the rules and going to the hell below?

Lu Yao's gaze fell on No. 7's face. She found that there was no light in No. 7's eyes, as if he had been deprived of some invisible vitality.

Number 7 shrugged. "It's very simple. Just don't question your past, don't think about who you are, don't touch upon your sins. Just stick to the eight words on the wall."

Lu Yao looked at the words on the wall, which were written in blood: [Turn over your past deeds and start a new life]!

"Ding ding ding!" Just as we were seeing this, the assembly horn sounded in the playground outside the corridor.

Number 7 grabbed Lu Yao and said, "Hurry up! Don't be late. Although it's very relaxing here, you can't be careless when doing exercises. If you are late or distracted, you will be treated as a person who is not working hard and will be punished by the building guard. That building guard is particularly scary!"

Building police? Little boss!

Lu Yao didn't know why, but when he heard that he would be scolded alone, his head became extremely excited, as if the trouble-making gene in his blood was gradually awakening.

But when she glanced at her empty arms, she always felt that there should be something very important in her arms.

"Wow!"

The door to the corridor playground was pushed open, and a dazzling light fell into Lu Yao's eyes again.

The playground was already full of people, both men and women. A closer look revealed that everyone looked normal, except for the prison warden and the guards standing around. They all looked weird. "A group of monsters controlling a group of humans?"
