Gotan, garbage disposal site.
Large machines are working, and all the sewage and garbage in the underground of Gotan are collected by the sewers and transported here, so the place is full of stench in the morning, noon and night.
Sewage will be discharged into the sea after undergoing a process of evolution. In addition to sewage, a large amount of small garbage will float here along the water flow. Generally speaking, it will be sorted, and some recyclable materials will be compressed by machines and then sent to processing plants.
In the square of the processing plant, a new employee was staring at the machine while watching the live broadcast on his mobile phone.
What was playing on the screen was the trial of the Penguin Man.
The camera was scanning the audience, and the newcomer discovered that there was someone he was familiar with sitting in the audience, the rich man Wayne.
At first glance, he almost thought that the blonde woman next to the rich man was his new favorite, but an old employee walked past him, scanned the screen, and said, "That's Mayor Alec."
"Mayor?" The newcomer was stunned.
"You obviously don't care about the political situation in Cotton," the old employee said to him in an elder brother tone, "The previous mayor died suddenly in the middle of his term, so after the council discussion, we have a new mayor - no one elected, no one knows her..."
He was silent for a while: "But after today, it may not be the case."
The newcomer spread his hands: "Because she was present at the trial?"
The old employee glanced at him and said, "Because she spoke in the interview before the trial. Didn't you watch the interview?"
The newcomer was stunned for a moment, then searched directly for "gotham interview marketer", and discovered that the video had become extremely popular, with tens of thousands more views after refreshing the page.
The cover of the video is the front face of the mayor. The silver-grey pupils behind the lens are somewhat rare, and the light golden hair shines brightly under the light. The newcomer commented: "She is a beauty, but she really looks like a robot."
And isn't that too young?
The video started playing and the flat figures began to move.
"I think this is my first public appearance on a show. Hi, I'm the mayor of Gotham, Anna Elek."
——It is an honor to interview you, Madam Mayor. What do you think of the penguin man's surrender?
"This is just the beginning, I think Gotam will get better and better."
—You seem very confident, ma'am. The Penguin Man did not change his testimony even when he went to court. Do you think he is truly repentant?
"How should I know? I've never been a criminal," the woman on the screen seemed to think for a moment, "The result is that he will go to prison and never come out again."
- Do you think today's trial will go smoothly and can the Penguin Man be successfully sent to prison?
The woman in the picture smiled. "Rather, I don't understand why we would release someone when everyone knows he has committed a crime and he admits it. If the situation is really that bad..."
The newcomer thought the mayor would say, "Then there is no cure for Ge Tan" or "Then I will be very disappointed", but the second half of the sentence he actually said was -
"Then let those who released him go to prison to do handicrafts together," the mayor raised an eyebrow at the stunned reporter, "I'm just kidding, do you really believe it?"
This interview is very brief and the video ends here, but the comments below the video are very intense.
Some people are praising the mayor's good looks, saying "Mayor Ge Tan is finally not a bald old man anymore", which is obviously a pure appearance-seeking group.
Some of them are fans of Penguin Man and other criminals. Don't be surprised, there are such people. Every year, a large number of letters are sent to Blackgate Prison. Many people are lining up to have children for Little Chou, including men. Perhaps it is the worship of power or evil itself. These crazy fans have a strong presence on the Internet. They are now insulting the mayor, GCPD, Batman, etc.
Others' comments are much more objective:
[This lucky lady got a free political achievement, of course she has to seize it. She solved one of the super criminals that the previous mayor couldn't deal with. Batman was able to send Penguin to prison, but he never took the initiative to go to court. I don't want to be sarcastic, but this kind of good luck may not happen a second time. Don't let him escape from prison, that would be fun]
[So… what kind of evidence did the Penguin Man have? If a hacker wants to publish my website browsing history, then I am willing to admit that I have committed a crime.]
The newcomer was also very curious, but what could threaten the penguin man would not be some browsing history, right?
He switched software; the live trial was already halfway through, but the barrage was filled with rows of question marks.
"What happened?" he asked quickly.
[Very outrageous...]
It's ridiculous, Weiwei thought. The penguin man took the initiative to admit that he had committed a crime. Everyone believed that the penguin man had indeed committed a crime. The evidence was solid, but...
The judge in this trial was unwilling to admit it.
Who would have thought that everyone in the court, including the defendant, wanted the defendant to go to jail, but the judge was unwilling to do so.
Weiwei tapped the table lightly with her fingers, staring at the man above her, Justice Meg Scott.
After deciding to put the Penguin Man in jail, she manipulated him as "C" and even had him use his connections to check the attendees of the trial to ensure that the trial would be foolproof.
Why doesn't Weiwei check the other party's attributes herself?
——Because the government and the court are two parallel systems, although she is currently the mayor, judges and others are not her subordinates. Of course, she does not have to pay them salaries. They are not a system.
Almost everyone could sense the judge's ambiguous attitude. Before the trial began, he seemed more strict, but in the later stages, because the evidence was conclusive, his attitude became somewhat obvious.
Even Weiwei noticed that many people in the audience were looking at each other, even the defendant's lawyer.
——Because the penguin man has the right to hire a lawyer, "C" lets him hire a lawyer to fight for the death penalty for himself.
Maybe the lawyer himself was also confused.
"What's the worst possible outcome?" Weiwei asked in a low voice.
Beside her, Bruce Wayne turned his head and said, "Because there is insufficient evidence, the second trial will be held in three months."
There were ordinary people, government officials, and upper-class celebrities in the audience. The atmosphere was relatively calm at the beginning, but now there is a faint noise.
Three months, that would be too long. Weiwei was thinking about what props she could use, when suddenly, a person behind her stood up and threw something out -
A bunch of car keys hit the Chief Justice's forehead quickly and accurately.
Everyone was shocked.
The Chief Justice was stunned for a moment, blood slowly flowed down his forehead, his eyes rolled back, and he fell down.
The agitated citizen was restrained, and the court was temporarily adjourned, apparently with the intention of sending the Chief Justice to the hospital.
"Damn it!" The newcomer watching the screen slammed the railing and couldn't help complaining, "It's just a bunch of keys. Is he really unconscious? Is he pretending?"
The camera scanned the citizen being held down, and the newcomer was speechless again: "Brother, I know you are angry, and so am I, but look at what you have done, I am afraid it really has to be postponed!"
This newcomer to the garbage dump may not have a strong sense of justice, but in such an atmosphere, it is very unpleasant to see the story being interrupted just when it is about to enter the climax of "the bad guys being punished".
The live camera casually swept across the audience and then began to stare at the Chief Justice's face, as if to capture any secret movements of his eyeballs or fingers to prove that he was really unconscious.
The newcomer noticed that the mayor also went to check on the justice. She asked the person who was rushing to the hospital to wait a little longer, pressed the other person's philtrum, and the camera moved closer. She could hear a conversation -
"Let me try the first aid spray I carry with me. Spray it on my face... maybe it will help?" she said. "Let me look for it..."
She took out a jar, and as the bier was brought up, the Mayoress pressed the groove of the jar against the Chancellor's face.
The other person's face turned completely red, as if a lot of twisted red smiley faces were painted on his face.
"Ah!" The lady looked at the label on the jar in surprise, "Sorry, I accidentally took the wrong one. Let me look for it again."
Just as she was rummaging through her belongings, the unconscious Chief Justice suddenly sat up, pushed open the stretcher and returned to his seat.
"Don't worry about my injury, the recess is over, let's continue!"
"Are you sure you're okay?" the mayor asked with a smile.
"Of course, no problem."
Justice Meg Scott nodded solemnly, her face turning comically red.
Because of his attitude, no one even dared to give him some water to wipe the paint off his face.
The trial continues.
The subsequent progress simply shocked the newcomer. The judge, who had an ambiguous attitude in the first half, seemed to have become a different person. He still followed the procedure, but convicted the penguin man extremely quickly.
——Even the spectators inside and outside the court did not react.
They sent out freshly made “Justice Meg Scott's face full of paint” emojis and asked in coded language: “Medicine?” “Money!”
[Is this old man on drugs?]
[Maybe the people behind him didn't pay him enough, so he quit!]
Anyway, no one believes that the judge delayed the process and secretly blew the whistle in the first half for the sake of fairness, but who cares!
Penguin Man is in jail! He will serve his life sentence in Blackgate Prison!
This was the first time that all citizens participated in the imprisonment. A well-known bad guy was sent to prison after being judged by the law after his crimes were read out one by one - how unreal it sounded! This was in Gotham!
The camera then turned to the audience after scanning everyone one by one. The blonde woman in the picture clapped softly with everyone else. I'm sure all the audience remembered this lady's face at this moment... and the expression of Justice Meg with paint all over her face.
To be honest, that emoticon is really funny, especially the Chief Justice who looks serious and fair, as if he doesn't know what's going on with his face.
[What? I am the one who is in charge of judging criminals.jpg]
The new employee looked at the screen with satisfaction, as if he was also involved in this matter. He was very excited and could not help but wave his fist, and then was hit on the head by the old employee.
"Be careful, the boss is here to check the situation!"
The newcomer shrank his neck and asked, "What's going on? Doesn't he come here rarely?"
"There was an accident a week ago. We broke a machine. That's how the person who was in charge of your current job was fired. Because of his negligence, something got stuck in the machine and the boss got angry."
The machine they mentioned can automatically separate large and small garbage according to weight, but some cannot be identified and must be manually sorted.
It looked like some large piece of garbage had floated downstream and got stuck in the machine's working shaft.
The newcomer asked, "Is it a stone? But a stone won't float with the water, right?"
"Who knows," the old employee spread his hands, "maybe something light enough to float in water, but hard enough that machines can't crush it?"
[You have completed the subsequent mission "Penguin Man's Surrender"]
[Your reward: 100,000 gold coins, 60 diamonds]
[The city's reputation has changed to some extent, and [the city's public security] has changed to a greater extent]
【Players please continue to work hard】
[Congratulations to the player for significantly improving [City Security] for the first time]
[You have completed the hidden requirements and activated the [Public Security-Achievement] module]
[You can view game achievements related to [City Security]]
After the achievement module was unlocked, four achievements appeared. Weiwei took a look and saw that they were "Negative Public Security Level", "Positive Level", "Level 5" and "Level 10". She had completed one so far.
[Achievement: City security is negative] [Completed]
[You get a reward: Police goggles]
There was an extra binding item in Weiwei's package.
【Police goggles】
[Description: Wear it and you will be a new police officer of GCPD. Your attributes will be closer to the role of "police officer"]
[Note: You can summon your police motorcycle anytime and anywhere, and it will appear in a way that does not surprise others]
[Binding props, indestructible]
[The police officer’s name is ____]
Weiwei entered "BB" according to her usual naming method.
[Name generated]
[Hello, new police officer Bella Betivin]
Whether it was props or gold and diamond rewards, they were only part of Weiwei's rewards. This public trial also gave her something else -
【Current public awareness is 57% (rising)】
[At least three million Gotan people know of your existence, have seen you, and understand part of you. Their knowledge of you will also generate invisible power...]
[You have activated the [Reputation] module]
[Current reputation level: Well-known (rising)]
[Current Influence: No matter where you are, your influence will also cover your subordinates. All subordinates' obedience level is 1]
[Current Bias: Most people have only a superficial understanding of you, but in the eyes of some people, you are unfathomable and may slide into the abyss of evil at any time]
[Attribute: Moderately evil]
Weiwei:?
She slowly typed a question mark.
How can a player like her who works so hard to upgrade the city level of Gotan, improve employee enthusiasm, tap their work potential, send criminals to prison, release innocent good people and provide jobs, and make Gotan's politics clear be considered evil?
Where did this rumor come from!
Weiwei was really conscientious when she played this game. Many old employees who had worked for more than a month needed a salary increase, but she did not fire them while trying to save money - mainly because this game was different from the games she had played before, and there would be no automatic replenishment after firing employees - Weiwei was worried that riots would break out and the poor and hard-working mayor would be hacked to death.
She sighed, locked the door of the lounge, and started calling the penguin man, of course, in the name of "C" -
[Blackgate Prison]
The penguin man who had just been sent in had not yet gotten familiar with his new "room" when he was called out by the prison guards again.
He wondered who called, his mother? No, his mother had already been sent away by him. It was impossible for him to call his subordinates because of C. He could not arrange for his subordinates as he did before he went to prison. His personal confession of the crime had an indelible negative impact on his reputation in the underworld.
No matter how you put it, a gang boss confessing the details of his crimes in court... is really a bit low.
When a familiar voice rang on the other end of the phone, the penguin man couldn't help but wonder - "Why is it you again?"
"Aren't you going to take over my property? I'm already in prison, what else do you want?" He paused and continued, his voice mocking, "Oh, I forgot... all my assets have been confiscated by the government. How does it feel to be taken over by someone before me?"
What strange method did this C use to turn him into what he is now, without him gaining any benefit at all?
"It was great," Weiwei said honestly, "I got a nice game reward."
The penguin man was inexplicably silent, so Weiwei continued, "But your value is still there. Help me keep an eye on those criminals. Who is innocent? Who deserves the punishment? Who wants to escape? And the behavior of the prison guards, especially the information related to the warden, send it all to me."
The penguin gritted his teeth and said, "I'm in jail."
"But you have a way to spread the news, right? Um... just send it to the mayor's mailbox," Weiwei joked, "Work hard, Agent Penguin. If you do a good job, you may be able to fight for painless execution in the future."
Beep-beep-beep-
The call was hung up, and the penguin frowned. After a while, he said, "Don't be ridiculous. Brother Tan is not sentenced to death."
The contract requires him to do what Mr. C asks, but as long as he is alive, he will be free sooner or later.
Weiwei ignored him.
She took out her goggles with a "whoosh", thought for a moment, and then typed a row of commands on the computer -
When she is not around, she can remotely command the AI through the system to help her make the decisions that the mayor needs to make. Although she has almost no proper work due to Sherk's "efforts", she will not miss any tasks with the reliable AI.
[Do you want to go on a long journey?]
"No, I'm just going out to play. If I don't have a place to stay, I'll come back."
[Happy gaming]
After solving this problem, she skillfully switched to "VV" mode and ran to the East District through the underground passage.
In the main mission, the East District is a big problem. From the progress reported by the secretary, we can see that they have not been able to successfully relocate the residents and rectify the sewer problem. Even with the blueprints, the rectification phase will take at least half a month.
But Weiwei is not in a hurry: "It will take time to purchase materials and prepare houses for resettlement. Their objections can be dealt with slowly."
During this period, she also sneaked into the East District at night to observe the situation and found this vacant house as a temporary shelter.
Weiwei put on the [Police Goggles]. She first covered her eyes, then felt it was inconvenient, so she moved the goggles to her forehead to hold down her hair. In the blink of an eye, she found that she had changed.
The same changes occur every time you switch identities.
In the mirror, her height has increased a lot. Vivi is 162cm, Anna is 168cm, and Bella is estimated to be 181cm barefoot, not to mention she is wearing boots.
The woman in the mirror had short black hair and dark purple pupils that were barely visible in the dim light. Her skin was honey-colored and she seemed to be around 20 years old.
Her clothes were a little cooler. She wore a dark green short jacket without buttons, a sleeveless black vest underneath, black sports shorts on the lower body, and a pair of black short boots on her feet. Her legs looked like they could kick the penguin man eighteen meters away.
Simply put, a very powerful cool sister.
Weiwei lowered her head and touched it.
——Well, I even have six-pack abs!
The abdominal muscles felt so good that she touched them for a long time, then jumped on the spot and clicked [Summon Police Motorcycle] on the panel.
There is nothing in front of me.
Weiwei turned her head——
The motorcycle is behind the sofa.
Weiwei: "So-called 'appearing in an unnoticeable way'..."
Did it appear in everyone's blind spot in an instant?
But this is not important!
She got on the motorcycle, and the screen in front of her shattered instantly, showing the motorcycle riding instructions in a way more suitable for human control, and the target location was [Gotan Police Station].
[You get the guidance task: Report]
[As a new police officer, you have not yet reported to your workplace]
[Mission requirements: Go to GCPD to collect your gun, ID, seniors, and possible missions]
[Note: Police salary is also considered your personal income]
Huh?
“Does this count as working two jobs?”
Weiwei started the motorcycle, broke open the door on the second floor, and jumped down from the second floor together with the motorcycle.
The surrounding scenery was changing. Weiwei followed the instructions and shuttled between the cars. The wind blew her short hair. She pulled down the windshield and increased the speed again.
The game is so fun and she is so happy to be able to enjoy the happiness it brings!
Following the guidance of the system, Weiwei learned how to lift the front or rear wheel of a motorcycle, how to directly control the motorcycle to pass over a car from the air, how to slide on the ground, and how to throw the motorcycle over and detonate it - although it doesn't seem to be something a normal motorcyclist would learn, it's a game anyway!
After a simple guidance process, Weiwei could drive without relying on guidance. She did not slow down and followed the flow of traffic into a highway.
The motorcycle suddenly slowed down.
Weiwei was stunned and twisted the handle.
I don't know why, but her speed can't be increased any further. Is there another bug?
The pointer was shaking, and no matter how fast it accelerated, it just kept spinning at a certain speed. Weiwei glanced at the cars around her, and it seemed that no one was driving particularly fast, as if they all tacitly chose to obey traffic rules.
Eh…
This road seems to have been a high-accident section.
Weiwei opened the map.
At the end of the road, there is a small sign standing on a tree.
——[Speed limit 60]
