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 "哥譚面试市場主", 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!
這是第一次由所有市民全程參與的入獄，一位衆所周知的壞蛋在一條條讀出自己犯出的罪責後，由法律審判後被送入監獄——這聽上去多麽不真實啊！這可是在哥譚！
鏡頭在挨個掃過所有人後轉向了聽衆席，畫面中的金發女人和其他人一起輕輕鼓掌，想必所有觀衆此時都記住了這位女士的臉……以及梅格大法官滿臉油漆的表情包。
說實話那個表情包真的挺好笑的，尤其是大法官一臉嚴肅公平，仿佛不知道自己臉上是怎麽回事。
[什麽？負責審判罪犯的居然是我.jpg]
新人心滿意足的看着屏幕，仿佛自己也參與進了這件事，他心情十分興奮，忍不住揮了揮拳頭，然後被老員工敲了下頭。
“小心點，老板來查看情況了！”
新人縮了縮脖子：“怎麽回事，他不是很少來嗎？”
“一周前的晚上發生了一場意外，我們壞了個機器，當時負責你現在工作的人就是這麽被開除的——因為他的忽視，有個東西卡死了機器，把老板氣壞了。”
他們提到的機器可以按照重量自動分離大型與小型垃圾，不過也有的無法識別，必須人工分裝。
看樣子是某件大型垃圾順水漂浮，卡壞了機器的工作軸裏。
新人問道：“難道是石頭嗎？可石頭也不會順水飄起來啊？”
“誰知道呢，”老員工攤開手，“可能是某種輕到能在水中漂浮，又硬到機器也無法壓癟的東西？”

薇薇：？
她緩緩打出一個問號。
像她這樣努力的玩家，為了提升哥譚城市等級，提高員工積極性、挖掘員工的工作潛能、把罪犯送進監獄、釋放無辜的好人并提供工作、讓哥譚的政治一片清明，怎麽就偏惡了？
哪裏來的謠言！
薇薇玩這個游戲的時候真的有夠良心的了，許多工作超過一個月的老員工是要提高薪資待遇的，她在努力省錢的時候都沒有把他們解雇——主要是因為這個游戲和她玩過的游戲不太一樣，解雇員工後不會自動補充——薇薇擔心到時候會引發暴|亂，可憐又努力的市長被亂刀砍死。
她嘆口氣，鎖上休息室的門，開始給企鵝人撥打電話，當然，是以“C”的名義——
[黑門監獄]
剛被送進來的企鵝人還沒熟悉自己的新“房間”，就又被獄警叫了出去。
他猜測是誰打來的電話，他的媽媽？不，他的媽媽已經被他送走了，屬下，不可能，因為C的緣故，他沒法像之前入獄一樣安排屬下，而他親口承認犯罪，讓他在黑道的聲望産生了不可磨滅的糟糕影響。
不管怎麽說，在法庭上一條條剖白自己犯罪詳情的黑幫老大……真的有點low。
當熟悉的聲音在電話那邊響起時，企鵝人忍不住想道——“怎麽又是你？”
“你不去接手我的財産嗎？我已經進了監獄，你還想要怎樣？”他停頓了一下繼續說，聲音帶着嘲弄，“噢，我忘記了……我的所有資産都被收歸政|府了，被人提前一步的感覺怎麽樣？”
這位C用什麽奇怪的方式把他變成了現在的樣子，自己不也沒有獲得什麽好處？
“非常好啊，”薇薇實話實說，“我獲得了不錯的游戲獎勵。”
企鵝人莫名的沉默了，薇薇便繼續道：“但你的利用價值還在，幫我關注那些罪犯們，誰是無罪的？誰罪有應得？誰想要逃跑？以及獄警們的行為，尤其是和監獄長相關的信息，全部發給我。”
企鵝人咬牙：“我可是在坐牢。”
“但是你有辦法把消息傳出來，對吧？嗯……就，發到市長郵箱吧，”薇薇開了個玩笑，“努力工作哦，企鵝特工，如果你幹得好，未來說不定能争取到無痛死|刑。”
嘟——嘟——嘟——
電話挂斷，企鵝人皺着眉，半晌，他說：“別開玩笑了，哥譚沒有死|刑。”
契約要求他必須按照Mr.C的要求去做，但只要他還活着，他早晚會獲得自由的。
薇薇可沒管他。
她“嗷嗚”了一聲取出防風鏡，想了想又在電腦上輸入了一排命令——
在她不在的時候，她可以遠程通過系統命令AI，幫她發出市長需要做的決定，雖然在謝爾克的“努力”下她幾乎沒啥正經工作，但有靠譜AI在不至于錯過什麽任務。
[您是想要出遠門嗎？]
“不哦，只是出去玩，如果沒地方住我還會回來。”
[那祝您游戲愉快]
解決掉這個後，她熟練地切換成“VV”模式走地下通道跑來了東區。
主線任務裏面，東區是個大問題，從秘書反饋來的進展就知道了，他們沒法成功遷走居民，整改下水道的問題，即使是有着圖紙，整改階段至少要花費半個月。
不過薇薇不着急：“購買材料和準備安置用的房屋也需要時間，他們的反對可以慢慢處理。”
在這期間，她也趁着晚上溜到東區去觀察過情況，發現了這個空房作為臨時安置點。
薇薇換上了【警員防風鏡】，她先是遮住了眼睛，然後感到不太方便，将防風鏡移到額頭上，壓住頭發，就在眨眼間，她發現自己産生了變化——
和每一次切換身份時的變化一樣。
鏡子中，她的身高拔高了一截，薇薇162cm，安娜168cm，而貝拉，目測光腳就有181cm，何況她穿着靴子。
鏡子中的女性留着一頭黑色短發，瞳孔是深紫色，在光照昏暗的地方不大看得出來，肌膚是蜜色的，似乎才20歲左右。
而她的衣着有些清涼了，她套着一件深綠色的短夾克，沒有扣子，裏頭穿着無袖的黑色背心，下半身是黑色運動短褲，腳踩一雙黑色短靴，兩條腿看上去像是能把企鵝人踢飛十八米。
簡單來說，一個十分有力量的酷姐。
薇薇低頭摸了摸。
——好吧，居然還有六塊腹肌！
腹肌的手感太好了，她摸了半天，又原地蹦了蹦，點擊面板上的[召喚警用摩托]。
面前什麽也沒有。
薇薇一轉頭——
摩托就在沙發後面。
薇薇：“所謂的‘不引人注意的方式出現’……”
難道是瞬間出現在所有人的視線死角嗎？
不過這個不重要啦！
她跨上摩托，眼前的屏幕瞬間破碎，以更符合人類操控的方式出現了騎摩托的引導，而目标地點為[哥譚警局]。
【你獲得引導任務：報到】
【作為一名新警員，你還沒有前往自己的工作地點報到】
【任務要求：去GCPD領取你的配槍、證件、前輩以及可能會有的任務】
【注：警員的工資也屬于你的私人收入】
咦？
“這算不算一個人打兩份工？”
薇薇發動摩托，直接撞開二樓的門，人與車一體從二樓躍下。
周圍的景色在變化，薇薇按照指引從一輛輛車的中間穿梭過去，風刮起了她的短發，她拉下防風鏡，再次提高了速度。
游戲真好玩，她真高興能夠享受着游戲帶來的快樂！
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]
