Peter rubbed his face. Beside him, Tim said, "You look more like a robber than a vigilante... Are you sure you don't want the mask I provided?"

Peter refused: "I can't accept a mask that shows the lower half of my face. Can it really hide my identity?"

Tim shrugged, his eyes moving over the black hood on his head—it had two holes in it—which was at least better than a KFC paper bag.

"Let's discuss tactics now," Tim said, "Catwoman wants to cause trouble in this factory that belongs to the mayor. I'll go find Catwoman, and you try to find out what she did. Catwoman generally doesn't kill innocent people, so no matter what she wants to do, she will do it after most of the workers have left..."

"My left," Peter said. "Your right?"

They high-fived.

Just after the two boys entered, a rat touched the back of its neck, quickly crawled through the underground passage, and climbed onto the shoulder of a girl a hundred meters away.

The girl handed it a piece of cheese.

The one who can control and communicate with mice is naturally the mouse catcher, Sheila Flanigan. While chasing Catwoman, she also had dinner - because the mayor's wife said that she must eat on time - but after chasing here, Sheila did not recognize that this was the Iceberg Chemical Plant.

...very simple, because she can't read.

Sheila, who had just started school, couldn't keep up with the school's progress at all. After all, she had never received any education, and it was too difficult for her to suddenly recognize all the words in just a few days.

She could just tell it was clearly a factory.

The auras of Catwoman, Robin and the other three finally gathered in the same direction. Sheila tilted her head, wondering whether she should sneak in here. Finally, she clapped her hands and knocked on the guard's window: "Uncle, my mother asked me to get the key. She accidentally left the key at her workstation."

After putting down the sign, Vivi immediately contacted Sheila, the mouse catcher, and explained that all the mice were their partners.

Sheila also responded: [Madam Mayor?]

Weiwei told her: "There is an item at the marked location I sent you. Let your little cuties carry it... Don't worry, it's not heavy."

The human-shaped standees look like living people, but they are actually just floating plastic cardboard.

Weiwei needs the mice to push the stands throughout the factory to attract other people's attention and cover her actions.

Although she can use her identity as a police officer to ask others to cooperate, she now has no idea which of these employees is played by Catwoman.

After giving the order, Weiwei did not meet with Sheila or Sheila's little mouse friend.

She waited for a while, and heard screams from outside. The map also showed that the NPCs had left.

Weiwei jumped down from above and trotted into the [Control Room] not far away.

The people in the monitoring room left. Weiwei took a quick glance and found that the screens were still on. She locked the door and looked back. Several screens went gray in a few seconds.

It looks like Catwoman has already started her action.

"Let me calculate how many gold coins I'll have to spend on repairs..."

"Jar," Weiwei sighed, "help me search the Internet for the keywords [East District] [Mayor], at least three years, no, ten years of news related to it, combine it with the files in my computer, and tell me after you have summarized it."

She sent this voice message to the...second-hand AI she bought from the gold coin mall.

After talking to Sherk, she realized that the high level of obedience of NPCs did not mean that they would not misinterpret, misunderstand, or overthink... or lie or conceal things.

"They're like... real people."

The AI ​​named "Jar" ​​quickly compiled the report.

[Regarding the policies of the East District, since the 21st century, all the mayors in office have implemented 72 of them, including but not limited to "providing free education for homeless youth", "providing winter warmth for homeless people", "providing job opportunities for prisoners released from prison in the East District", "environmental improvement", "medical assistance", "charitable assistance for orphanages", etc.]

[Of this, a total of 1.779 billion 8000 gold coins were spent, and the gold coins actually used for the people of the East District were negative 3.77 million gold coins.]

Weiwei was stunned: How can there be negative things?

[Of the nearly 1.8 billion gold coins, 13% were distributed to various government departments and policy executors, 7% suffered meaningless consumption during the execution process, 80% were nowhere to be found, and the negative 3.77 million gold coins were looted from local people in the East District, and only 3.77 million of them were recorded.]

She took a deep breath and covered her face: "What about the gold coins I spent this time?"

[There was no additional loss of gold coins, all of which were used for labor and building materials.]

This shows that at least Sergei was not corrupt and that he kept an eye on the execution procedures and did not allow others to commit corruption.

——But is there such a weird indicator as "NPC corruption potential" in a normal infrastructure game?

Brother Tan, you are indeed poisonous.

Moreover, just by looking at the data, we can tell that the possibility of official corruption in the past is quite high.

There were definitely no high-ranking officials on the dismissal list that Sherk compiled for Vivi. Under this circumstance, he could still protect the project funds. To be honest, Vivi felt that he had really tried his best.

Gotan is rotten from top to bottom. Weiwei's solution to the penguin man did not really change Gotan, nor did she successfully establish her prestige. In the eyes of ordinary citizens, she is just a lucky girl who has gained achievements in vain while in office.

"Am I too anxious..."

Maybe she shouldn't take direct action against the East District when the people there have such low levels of trust in the mayor?

However, the mission has been accepted! Isn't it for the player to complete the mission? So there must be a way to complete it, it's just that the difficulty is higher.

Maybe it would be better to start from the inside? So she needs Catwoman.

"I now have to complete the side quest [Investigate the Case] ​​and get promoted, but the body has been destroyed. I also have to complete the side quest [Catwoman], and she must not cause any problems in my factory... Wait!"

Weiwei took out her police cell phone and made a call: "City Hall? I'm Police Officer Bella Bettivan. Yes, I'm at the Iceberg Chemical Plant. During the investigation, I found traces of Catwoman's activities. I'm calling this number just to warn you."

After hanging up the phone, Weiwei immediately switched the panel and found a to-do item on it.

[To-do: Kittens in Chemical Plants]

[Please select a person to handle the case within the 3-minute countdown. If the time is up, another person will be automatically assigned.]

She moved the case to the GCPD, and found Officer "Bella Bettivan" in the GCPD's employee list.

The next second, her phone was connected: "Hello, Agent Betty, are you at the Iceberg Chemical Plant? It's like this, the City Hall just called and hopes you can handle an accident at the chemical plant nearby. Catwoman is suspected to be taking action at the chemical plant. I will send you a photo of Catwoman."

[You get a side mission: Second investigation]

[I didn't expect a new case to fall on your head so soon, newcomer, do your job well]

[Mission Reward: Any Police Officer Skill Level 1]

Weiwei: “…Wow!”

It turns out that her identity as mayor allows her to assign tasks to her identity as a police officer, and police officers can be promoted if they accept and complete the tasks.

This is the normal way to increase your career reputation. After a quick brush, "Bella" can be promoted, get a raise, and complete the side quest [Special Forces SWAT]!

"…Is this what they call completing two tasks with one job and getting two benefits?" Weiwei muttered to herself, staring at the screen thoughtfully.

"The Batman standee didn't seem to bring out Catwoman, but based on the range of the black screen, I was able to roughly narrow her range."

Well, get to work, Madam Mayor.

She pushed open the door, holding the stun gun in her left hand and the gun in her right hand. After thinking for a while, she hooked her little finger around a...red plastic bucket.

The Batman sign did not attract Catwoman, but it only caused a small shock among the workers. After all, it was time to get off work, and only a few workers were still at their posts. They were the doormen and security guards who came to take over the shift.

But opening the door and seeing a smiling Batman is pretty damn scary!

——The stand has five common expressions, namely [smile] [stare] [think] [anger] and [cry], and the expression can be changed remotely.

But Weiwei was not so bored, and she was not playing Barbie dress-up, so she directly chose the first expression.

The Batman stand, with a warm smile on its face, was pushed by the mice on the plastic roller at the bottom, and rolled forward quickly inside the factory.

Then, because it couldn't dodge in time, it bumped into the wall, was knocked off balance, and then it went sideways around the wall and ran in the corridor. After all, it was remotely controlled, and the mice might have their own ideas.

——This is what Tim saw when he squatted on the beam.

In Weiwei's eyes, the signboard is still flat, but it is not the case in the eyes of others:

Batman was leaning back, his lower body was still but he was able to slide forward at high speed - because of the effect of the props, the Batman in his eyes was not flat, so he naturally couldn't see the mouse "under his feet" - the man slammed into the wall, as if he didn't even look at the road...

No, Tim wiped his face. He couldn't see the road in that backward posture.

"Bat?" Tim hesitated, jumped off the beam, and chased after him while dialing Bruce's number.

Batman was not informed of his activities tonight because Bruce Wayne was invited to a dinner party hosted by the Scott family.

This was a circular corridor. After a little thought, Tim chose to chase from another direction.

If nothing goes wrong, he will be able to block Batman right in front of him.

He succeeded. At the end of the corridor, Batman was leaning back, his legs motionless but he was able to rush towards him at high speed. On his face under the mask, there was a strange smile.

Even Tim was stunned for half a second and took a photo subconsciously.

Then, he shot out a hook and hooked it onto the vent directly above him, and swung over to try and grab Batman—

What if it's really Batman?

But Tim didn't realize that a person swinging forward would cause a gust of wind in the narrow corridor.

Paper signboards will be affected by wind pressure.

Tim: ?

He didn't catch Batman.

Because at the moment he stretched out his hand, Batman, with a smiling expression, bent down!
