Yin Zhu hadn't expected Jing Gui's actions.
She never expected that the Mirror Ghost would appear in public, and that it would solidify into such a perfect and flawless physical form.
No one expected that the Mirror Ghost would appear under such circumstances.
Before anyone could react, Jinggui waved his hand generously again: "Fine, as long as you abide by the rules I set and live obediently in this community, I won't bother you. But if you break the rules..."
Before Jing Gui could finish speaking, Yin Zhu, who was closest to him, suddenly reached out and grabbed his arm: "You... Ouch—"
Yin Zhu quickly let go and saw the frostbite marks on her palms.
"Don't disrupt the community's life. I'm watching you from every angle." After saying this arrogantly, the Mirror Ghost vanished without a trace.
Everyone was stunned at first, then He Biansheng reacted the fastest, striding over to Yin Zhu's side: "Are you alright?"
"fine."
Yin Zhu lowered her hand, hiding it inside her clothes: "His body is so cold, like ice. Is he the supervisor?"
"It seems so."
He Biansheng's expression was complicated. Although she seemed carefree, she was actually quite shrewd, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to stay in Sin City for so long without any powerful backers.
This incident left everyone preoccupied with their own thoughts, resulting in little interaction as they all returned to their own homes.
"Hao Xun, I have something to tell you."
As soon as they got home, the Mirror Ghost jumped out of one of the mirrors, while the other mirrors showed normal reflections of Yin Zhu, which seemed a bit eerie. But when you think about how the Mirror Ghost is inherently eerie, it seems quite reasonable.
After seeing Yin Zhu close the door, Jing Gui told her some good news: "After becoming the supervisor, I finally know what Wei Chuxing meant by 'certification,' and I can give you that too. This thing exists to show that you are relatively harmless and not an enemy of the city lord. I'm afraid only the supervisor and the city lord can sense its existence."
However, there was also bad news: "After becoming the supervisor, my actions will be restricted by the area, making it difficult to leave, so I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany you to find the city lord."
"So you can't go back to the temporary apartment either?"
"Hey, I'm a boss now, why would I go back to work for him?"
That makes a lot of sense.
Yin Zhu indicated that she understood the meaning of "Mirror Ghost".
"Then I'll go to the temporary apartment by myself for a meal. I haven't had dinner yet." Yin Zhu rubbed her stomach. After all, Jiayuan Community doesn't provide meals, and she was quite hungry after a busy day.
Okay, bye-bye.
The mirror ghost waved its hand in the mirror.
Just as Yin Zhu placed her hand on the doorknob, she heard Jing Gui's voice behind her again: "Will you come back?"
"I don't know, maybe."
"I believe... I believe the city lord will agree to your request. Although I'm reluctant to admit it, you do have some talent."
"Thanks, I appreciate your kind words."
Yin Zhu didn't turn around, but gave a vague answer. After all, she only needed one more piece of the puzzle to complete the game, so there was no point in coming back. As for whether Jing Gui could hold onto his position as manager, it had nothing to do with Yin Zhu. At most, as her former partner, Yin Zhu would offer her due blessings.
After saying goodbye to the Mirror Ghost, Yin Zhu rushed to the entrance of the temporary apartment, only to be stopped by the receptionist: "Wait a moment."
Yin Zhu slammed on the brakes, stopping her rush into the elevator. She turned back with a smile and asked him, "What's wrong?"
The receptionist pointed to a piece of paper posted next to the counter: "Take a look for yourself." Yin Zhu leaned over to look and saw a striking new rule written on it—
[Non-temporary apartment residents are prohibited from dining at the restaurant for free.]
When did this happen?
Yin Zhu was shocked; it wasn't here when she came yesterday.
"This morning," the receptionist replied with a forced smile, "if you would like to dine in the restaurant, please pay for one person's meal. You can eat it yourself and then turn it into a dish. Our apartment's transactions are fair and cost-effective."
Damn it, this is a clear no-no for me to freeload.
Touching her rumbling stomach, Yin Zhu didn't lose heart and asked the receptionist, "If I tell your manager about the city lord's position, can I get a meal in return?"
The receptionist didn't even hesitate when asked this question, as if he had already prepared the answer. He replied directly to Yin Zhu, "Wait until you actually meet the city lord before you say such things. Perhaps you will become the manager by then."
"That's impossible, absolutely not."
Yin Zhu was certain of this.
"In short, we are no longer providing food and beverage opportunities for the homeless," the receptionist emphasized again.
Dejected, Yin Zhu didn't return directly to Jiayuan Residential Area. Instead, she opened the map and headed in the direction Wei Chuxing had pointed out earlier. Since getting a meal at the temporary apartment was out of the question, she decided to solve both the main quest and her meal problem at the same time.
Although Wei Chuxing pointed to three areas—a food processing plant, a nursing home, and a bookstore—when combined with the city lord's personal information, there is actually only one answer.
Liang Xiao, the manager of the temporary apartment for new citizens, once said that the city lord was very old.
Bai Hai, the manager of Sunny and Cheerful Kindergarten, and Wei Chuxing, the manager of Daydream Amusement Park, both said that the city lord was very vigilant and afraid of being found.
As you get older, you need a place where you can hide yourself...
Are there any other options besides nursing homes?
Hiding in a crowd is far more effective at deceiving others than simply hiding in an ordinary area.
