Just as Yin Zhu had predicted, Boss Yuan did not investigate further.
She simply nodded, then asked Yin Zhu a few more questions, such as: where she lived, her education level, whether she had elderly relatives at home, and her health condition. Afterward, she had her secretary lead Yin Zhu to the staff room assigned to her.
The Sin City Nursing Home consists of seven high-rise residential buildings named after the Big Dipper, with the staff accommodation located in the Yaoguang Building.
Unfortunately, Yin Zhu had no knowledge of astrology and didn't know the significance of Yao Guang in the Big Dipper after seeing the building's name. In fact, knowing the names of these seven stars had already exhausted all of Yin Zhu's knowledge of astrology.
There was a set of rules posted at the entrance of Yaoguang Building. When we got to the door, the secretary paused for a moment and said, "You'd better write this down. We don't want to have to replace our employees tomorrow."
Yin Zhu nodded and immediately took out her phone to take a picture.
The secretary was silent for a moment, then acquiesced: "Okay, I didn't realize you were so clever."
"By the way, you don't know the city lord either?"
Yin Zhu didn't give up and asked the secretary again to confirm. Just like Boss Yuan, the secretary's confusion was genuine: "Is this person you're talking about very important?"
“Sin City needs a ruler, right?” Yin Zhu made his point clearer.
"Doesn't Sin City only have a mayor?"
The secretary looked at Yin Zhu with a puzzled expression, as if she were looking at an idiot: "City lord or something, do you think this is some ancient society?"
This answer is clearer than the previous questions.
The fact that the people in the nursing home have no trace of the city lord's existence suggests that it was likely his doing, which greatly increases the probability that he is hiding here.
After all, everyone in Sin City knows of the city lord's existence, but the nursing home's actions only make it seem like they're trying to cover something up.
Yin Zhu didn't quite understand why the city lord wanted to do this, but she had a bad feeling. It wasn't for any other reason than that such alteration of memories was usually caused by something bizarre, and might even involve the extent to which a person had been corrupted in the world of supernatural tales.
The worst-case scenario is that the people living in the nursing home will become increasingly "senile," and as time goes by, their original idea of finding the city lord will gradually be forgotten.
Yin Zhu, you must stay awake.
During the elevator ride, Yin Zhu kept encouraging herself.
After taking the elevator to the eleventh floor, the secretary took out a card and opened a door: "From now on, you can live here. This will make it easier to take care of the elderly, and you won't need to run back and forth to get off work every day. Please register your fingerprint first."
"Do we cook the food ourselves at home, or is there a public canteen?"
Yin Zhu hadn't forgotten that she hadn't eaten dinner yet.
"After you move in, a single serving of food will be provided at your home every day at 12 noon. If you don't want to cook for yourself, you can also eat at the community center's canteen." This refers to the two-story building surrounded by seven other buildings.
After watching Yin Zhu finish registering her fingerprints, the secretary pointed to the phone in Yin Zhu's hand: "My phone number is on the rules. You can contact me if needed."
"Then shall I call you Secretary Tu?"
Yin Zhu asked tentatively.
"That would shorten my lifespan. Just call me Xiao Tu, after all, I'm only eighteen." The secretary touched her nose, a little embarrassed. "You're over twenty, I can't accept that title."
Oh wow, it doesn't look like it at all.
Yin Zhu thought this male secretary was at least close to thirty years old, but she didn't expect that he was only of high school or college age on Blue Star. He looked a bit older than his age.
I've only ever heard of people with baby faces, but this is the first time I've ever seen someone who looks so old.
The secretary had an oval face, but it was covered in forehead wrinkles and nasolabial folds, and there were even some gray hairs mixed in with his hair. So when Yin Zhu learned his real age, the first thing she thought of was: Don't be fooled by this old man's white hair and youthful face, he is actually only an 18-year-old programmer.
Not wanting to say anything more, Yin Zhu asked one last question: "So, when do I start working?"
The secretary thought for a moment and said, "I'll take you to the office to pick up your name tag at eight o'clock tomorrow morning. They'll tell you the rest. Don't worry too much. Apart from the kitchen, the work in other places is very simple. Just don't break the rules."
After watching her secretary leave, Yin Zhu took out her phone and began to study the building's rules.
...
In places unseen by the live stream, the people of Sin City continue to operate normally.
Yin Zhu didn't go home, so she naturally didn't know that her room 202 had been smashed to pieces, with broken mirror fragments scattered all over the floor, a complete mess.
"That woman isn't not coming back, is she?"
One of the men asked his henchman impatiently, receiving an uncertain answer: "She seems to often go out for long periods of time, but she always comes back every now and then, so as long as she's still alive, she should be coming back, right?"
This is clearly referring to Yin Zhu.
The leader then turned to the burly man smoking beside him: "He Biansheng, what do you think?"
“She’ll come back eventually.” He Biansheng threw his cigarette butt on the ground and chased it away. “That little girl was really good at fooling people. She even fooled me for a while. Now that I think about it, although she didn’t show herself much at the time, she kept guiding our thinking and didn’t give us time to think about the truth.”
"They actually used us as pawns. If we hadn't been smart enough to figure things out afterward, we probably would still be in the dark." The leader spat on the ground.
"Brother Sheng, it's all her fault for being too cunning."
He Biansheng also had some cronies who rushed to flatter him, shifting the blame onto Yin Zhu.
