I'm the mayor of a simulated ghost city

When they arrived downstairs, the sky was gradually getting dark. Lu Yao looked back at the gate of Lihua Community. He didn't know if it was because it was evening, but the gate looked like a big mouth that could eat people. There was no light inside, only a bottomless black hole.

Lu Yao found the papaya cooler he had just placed downstairs and brought it to his lips...

When I turned the cup over, I saw that it was already turbid, and before I put it to my nose, I could already smell a foul odor.

"Is this because of the dog days? Isn't it time for the summer heat yet?"

Lu Yao looked up at the magnificent sunset clouds, threw the water into the trash can, and staggered into a hardware store.

Lu Yao looked around the counter, her eyes were not focused, and the shop owner also looked her over: "Pretty girl, what do you want to buy? You can tell me, I will recommend it to you."

"Can you recommend something?" Lu Yao leaned over the counter and said, "Actually, I don't know what I want to buy."

The serious boss paused and looked at her, and time seemed to stand still.

Fortunately, Lu Yao thought about it again, and suddenly whitewashed his finger at the boss, as if saying, "Come here and I'll tell you something."

Then, the boss put his ear close to her and heard her whisper, "Boss, suppose... I'm a murderer..."

Before she finished her words, the boss's neck retracted to the inside of the counter, five meters away from her: "What?"

"I said hypothetically." Lu Yao hooked his finger at the boss again and continued, "Suppose you knew my secret. Although I am not ready to kill you yet, I may kill you at any time. What weapon would you use to defend yourself? You need to strike first without appearing to be over-defending."

"Say it again...what?" The boss was stunned after listening to Lu Yao's narration...

After a moment, Lu Yao repeated her story. The boss looked into her sincere eyes and finally gave her some kind advice in the face of this bizarre and vicious train of thought: "Girl, if you get into trouble, you still have to find the police. This is just a hardware store."

"Isn't it useless to look for it?" Lu Yao sighed and looked outside the door. It was already completely dark. There were still three and a half hours left before the system required him to go to the water plant.

So the police can’t arrest you?

The boss couldn't follow Lu Yao's train of thought, but seeing that the little girl was only in her early twenties, he thought that even if she had gone astray, she could still turn back.

So the boss thought about it and took out a lighter that could flash disco light and a baton that was shrunk to only 30 centimeters from the hardware cabinet.

"That's all."

Lu Yao took the two things. It seemed that these were all she could use now. With her mobile phone and power bank, she could barely make do. After all, she just went to the water plant to investigate the cause of the low water pressure and... come out alive...

After leaving the hardware store, Lu Yao did not stay in the snack bar near Heping Village, but went to the neighboring West Suburb New Town and found a restaurant. She originally planned to eat casually, but in the end she ordered five dishes and put them on the table.

The waiter who brought the dishes to the table looked around Lu Yao and asked curiously, "Miss, are you eating alone?"

"Yeah." Lu Yao took a pair of disposable chopsticks, scooped out a large spoonful of rice from the rice bucket, and sighed, "It's the last meal of the year. Eat as much as you can. Who knows if there will be a tomorrow after eating today."

As soon as he finished speaking, the waiter widened his eyes, his hand trembled as he served the dish, and he hurried away.

Without paying attention to the waiter, Lu Yao picked up his phone while eating.

At this moment, the fan group pinned on the phone was chatting lively.

This is how Lu Yao’s fans are. Even when she, the real star, is not around, the fans can still entertain themselves.

However, as Lu Yao watched, he suddenly noticed the topic they were discussing.

Shy straight man: [What's going on! What's going on! Is the neighbor imitating our Ape again? ]

It's Monroe: [Of course, every time our chief launches a new game, she starts a new game and even announces a live stream of SimCity tomorrow. It's obvious that she's waiting to watch it today and then copy it tomorrow. If she's so good at it, why doesn't she go to Las Vegas to play the shake machine?! ]

I am deaf and face-blind: [A newcomer would like to say that I just switched from the anchor of the neighboring "Eleventh Sister".]

I signed a promise with the gods, and the gods gave me a big slap: [What can I do? Our ape leader has no emotional intelligence. Every time, the original game ideas are stolen by the little green tea. Look at the popularity of the guy next door. ]

The male protagonist who has been ignored: [Have you noticed that she hasn't shown up for a day? ]

Shy and straight man: [No man can escape the warmth and tenderness of Eleventh Sister. If it were me, I would...]

I signed a promise with the gods, and the gods gave me a big slap: [Otherwise, you get out! ]

Lu Yao looked at a few people chatting with each other, and thought of the Eleventh Sister. This Eleventh Sister always liked to imitate her. She started live streaming at about the same time as her, only two days later. However, the Eleventh Sister already had 100,000 followers, while she only had 10,000.

As the saying goes, the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves in front of them, and the waves in front of them die on the beach.

Originally, Eleventh Sister was not very good at playing games, but she was eager to learn, so she copied her way of playing exactly, acted coquettishly and made some noises, and became famous.

Well, I guess she wants to copy her SimCity again this time.

However, sorry, her game has mutated on its own!

Thinking of this, Lu Yao suddenly felt that she could borrow the help of her eleventh sister, so she said, "Dear family members, I have found that there are always people plagiarizing recently, so I will not play SimCity today."

The male protagonist who has always been ignored: [You are not dead. ]

Shy straight man: [Don't worry, why don't you play anymore? You stopped broadcasting yesterday. If you stop again today, I will report you to the TikTok platform! ]

I signed a promise with the gods, and the gods gave me a big bag: [Is the ape chief drunk? You said you won’t broadcast it, so you don’t broadcast it? ]

Seeing the fans' eager wishes, Lu Yao considered for a moment: "It's not that we won't broadcast it, we'll just broadcast a different game."

I am deaf and face blind: [Newbie pops up, what game? ]

Shy Straight Man: [The guy upstairs is the spy next door, right? He got excited when he heard about the game change? ]

I signed a promise with God, and God gave me a big ass: [Who is more excited? You are the only straight man who talks too much. Ape leader, what game are you going to change? ]

Seeing this, Lu Yao did not say much in the group, and directly changed the announcement information: [Tonight's live broadcast time is 12:00, live broadcast of the real-life exploration game - "Simulated Ghost Market - Water Plant", watch it scientifically, don't take it seriously. Live broadcast room number, if there is plagiarism, thank you for copying! ]

Well, doesn't Sister Eleven like to copy? Come on, copy as much as you can!

As soon as the announcement came out, the fan group started cheering again.

I am deaf and face blind: [Simulated ghost market? What kind of game is this? ]

Shy Straight Man: [Exploration? Are there ghosts?]

Seeing this, Lu Yao paused, Ghost?

By the way, she had never thought about this. Although the system shamelessly attacked her, as a beautiful science girl, the knowledge stored in her head were all scientific theories.

So the system belongs to science fiction, not fantasy, right?

Well, there can't be a ghost!

Lu Yao chatted with her fans for a while and started to enjoy her last dinner...
