On the last day of May, in the corridor outside the hospital ward, Weiwei opened her panel.

Last month, she was still a poor mayor who couldn't pay off her loan. She had few people and couldn't even save ten diamonds in a month.

This month, she...still couldn't pay her loan.

Because she would never use her personal funds to repay the loan.

[Current city government public funds: 7.5 million gold coins (consumed)]

[Currently converted public fixed assets: 14.75 million gold coins (depreciating)]

[Current personal funds: 11.5 million gold coins/850 diamonds]

[Current personal fixed assets: 3.2 million gold coins]

[Estimated bank debt repayment at the end of the month: 8.24 million gold coins]

[Estimated fixed expenditure at the end of the month: 1.25 million gold coins]

Because the city's comprehensive assessment is negative, the city government still cannot collect taxes, but relying on the black eating the black, no, relying on fighting the evil forces and annexing their industries, the city government's public funds are very abundant. As for fixed assets, the Penguin Man's real estate has been mortgaged, but Black Mask's steel plant, medical company, South Hinckley's land, Dr. Hugo's laboratory, various materials collected from the sewers, the gangs that were swept out of the dock, and more than one nightclub and club, all these properties are now all the property of the City Hall.

However, as it is said in parentheses, because these industries are just industries, and the people who run the industries have been arrested, obviously, they have to go to Blackgate Prison for forced labor, so the original various transactions, such as drugs and weapons, and human trafficking, can no longer be done. The land is only worth the land itself, and will continue to depreciate as others wait and see.

Weiwei's personal funds basically come from system rewards. The progress of several main missions has made her rich. Her current personal fixed assets come from...parcels and a construction company in the East District.

A bunch of weapons were delivered in the package, and the construction company was registered under her name by Violin. The strangest thing was that even the Rose Manor was considered a personal asset, but she always gave away roses at a loss.

Currently, Vivi still has three main tasks to complete, including reinforcing the Rand Bridge leading to Heimon Island, a 300 diamond reward, and urging Poison Ivy to do the main task. However, Poison Ivy said that plant transplanting requires observation of the follow-up situation. After all, there are not only special plants, but also ordinary plants, a 300 diamond reward, and a public opinion crisis. There is no reward, only a change in the city's reputation.

Another main mission is the monthly end-of-month settlement, the New Parliament.

Simply put, tens of millions need to be repaid at the end of this month, and the system is set up so that as long as the government fund balance is not zero, the funds will be automatically deducted at the first second of June.

"I would rather use government funds for charity than give them back to Owl," she clicked on the densely packed list of subordinates, "Let me see who can complete the task of bombing the bank?"

In fact, it would be most convenient for a [doctor] to do this job, but this magic-minded doctor seems to have a bottom line. If Weiwei tells him the plan, he might even report it to the police.

I get it. It’s a gold card character. A gold card is obviously someone with a story—the fact that he turns from a doctor into a magician is quite a story.

However, Weiwei usually doesn't care about the stories behind the other person, just like she never explores who is under the Batman mask. To her, characters are only divided into those that are useful to the infrastructure and those that are useless to the infrastructure.

"There are less than 20 hours left before the automatic deduction. I need to find someone who can do the job efficiently... eh?"

She thought of a suitable candidate.

Work efficiently.

No bottom line.

Physically fit.

No matter how you look at it, he is the most suitable candidate.

Vivi's real body was teleported to the City Hall. Now, because her relationship with the mayor is becoming increasingly close, even the AI ​​doesn't think there is anything wrong with her sudden appearance in the room. Vivi said hello to Jar, and then wanted to take her trumpet to the basement of the City Hall.

But AI spoke up——

[Ms. Anna, have you made arrangements for the Children's Day celebration on June 3?]

"Hmm?" Weiwei let Xiaohao speak. "What's wrong? Did you find any problem? Feel free to tell me."

[It's not a problem, but according to the publicity plan, many people from other cities will participate. I think this will include people from the Justice League and the Avengers...]

Weiwei thought about it and realized that these two organizations were superhero groups that existed in the background. Simply put, they were similar to Nightwing. They would occasionally refresh in the city but would not stay for long.

She asked without hope: "Is it possible for people from these organizations to stay in Gotan City to work?"

[…less than 10% probability]

For some reason, the AI ​​seemed to be silent for a moment, and gave her an answer after hesitation.

"Forget it, just let them focus on city security."

There will be many heroes by then, I hope there will be no accidents.

Weiwei and Xiaohao went underground, where she found the person she had in mind—

In a specially built room that is kept frozen by real-time power supply, a man is nailed to a box-shaped transparent glass wall.

The title above his head is [Claw].

Tal White's nickname is no longer Claw or Tramp, his new nickname is "Policeman".

If Batman were here, he would recognize that this was the Claw that was sent by Owl to assassinate Violin, but was stopped by Batman halfway and had a back-and-forth fight with him. At that time, Vivi took the opportunity to have her men capture the man, and he has been locked up in the City Hall ever since.

The entire city hall is defenseless against AI. Except for the unmonitored mayor's lounge and study, and other unmonitored rooms, Vivi, a second-hand AI purchased from the gold coin mall, can see almost everywhere.

And she remembered that the other party should know all the political issues that she knew and didn't know, because when Vivi was lazy, she left it to AI and Sherk to handle.

Mayor: "Jar, how many people have come to see him?"

[After the other party was sent here, apart from Minister Hogg who was responsible for capturing him, and Mr. Peter Chris, the head of the logistics department who used Minister Hogg's identity chip, who entered and exited this room on May 12, no one else has been here.]

Weiwei recalled the director of the logistics department who had almost no presence. She had almost no impression of Pete, but he seemed to appear quite frequently.

some……

The device for the Frozen Claws does need to be completed by the Logistics Department, but why would the other party use Hogg's chip?

The mayor spoke up: "What projects has Pete Chris been involved in?"

The virtual screen opened in front of her eyes, and Weiwei's mouth twitched——

In the beginning, when several Deadshot members infiltrated the City Hall, Pete was in charge of collecting the bodies. Later, the only innocent student among the infiltrators was tasked with painting slogans under Pete's command. Then, planting trees was the responsibility of the Logistics Department, while purchasing factories to process building materials was also the responsibility of the Logistics Department... Even now, Mr. Pete is still working diligently and hard under Poison Ivy, transplanting a large number of street trees that Vivi bought from the Gold Coin Mall, while the Roses are the responsibility of the Environmental Protection Department.

The virtual image showed the other person's ordinary face and flawless resume. Weiwei slowly scanned them one by one, and her expression suddenly became strange.

Pete Chris, he participated in almost all of Vivi's plans from beginning to end, and handled almost all props produced by the Gold Coin Mall, from roadside trees to signboards. It is normal that he has a red name, as half of the people in Gotan City are red names, but this half is mainly composed of "enemies of the mayor, criminals under the warden, and a small number of people who know Mr. C." Vivi is really curious - which category does the director of the logistics department belong to?

You know, originally more than half of the people in Gotan City were red names. Some ordinary citizens naturally dislike politicians, and of course some employees of the City Hall were dissatisfied with their superiors. But after the trial, their reputation improved. When Weiwei opened the map, she found that most of the people in the City Hall were green names, and there were only two or three red names left.

"Who is behind you..." she thought, "It's not that he tricked Hogg into giving him his ID card out of curiosity, right?"

In the video, the unremarkable middle-aged man stared at the frozen claws, secretly took two photos and left, being careful not to leave his fingerprints on any equipment.

She wanted to release her claws, but now, seeing that there was still plenty of time, the player who never needed sleep or rest narrowed her eyes and teleported away on the spot.

She just thought that there would be a celebration in Gotan City in two days, the festival on the 3rd, the trial on the 30th, and many people came to Gotan in advance on the 31st, which is today.

——These are the numbers of [city population] that will be calculated when the time comes.

Anyone who wants to cause trouble by taking advantage of the festival to cheat the settlement and before the celebration arrives should be prepared to be pinned to the ground on the spot!

She decided to look for Pete Chris.

…

There was a carnival going on in Charlie's tavern.

He wanted to serve wine, but everyone's throat was a little hoarse, so at the advice of his friends, Charlie reluctantly provided everyone with hot milk.

—It's odd to order hot milk in a pub.

Charlie, Jim, and Nurse Emily, these little people, through their relatives and friends, organized a flash mob single concert outside the court... Many of them learned this song on the spot.

Charlie was in charge of the contacts. Many down-and-out singers had come to his tavern, and most of them were students from the music school. Ms. Emily had a good relationship with the church and she often went there to pray. As for Jim, so many musical instruments were borrowed from him.

After everything was over, the pub reopened in the middle of the night and everyone wanted to celebrate, but when it came time to order drinks, they found that they couldn't drink unless they sacrificed their throats. But even with a hoarse voice, Charlie insisted on bragging about it to the other guests who came to drink. He didn't know why, but he just felt that they had actually done this... Although it was just singing, although he still didn't know whether their singing generated power, he was sure that he was full of power when he "roared". In that state, surrounded by people around him, he almost roared.

The guest in front of him was quite supportive. He was surprised and said, "It was actually organized by you guys? It's really unexpected."

Charlie became humble when the other party praised him. He was just about to say something.

The door of the tavern was pushed open, and the person who pushed the door put away his umbrella. His brown hair was hidden under his hood, but a few mischievous strands of hair were still exposed. His medium-length black cloak was almost caught by the door.

Then the girl looked in his direction.

The guest in front of him suddenly pushed Charlie away: "...I'm going to the toilet, where is the toilet?"

Charlie stared at the man's receding back, coughed twice, and yelled, "There's no toilet here - go to the back door!"

When he said this, all the guests looked over.
