Gotham Mayor Simulator

For Weiwei, as soon as she closed her eyes and opened them again, there was a corpse at her feet.

The blond mayor lady Anna Elek was kneeling on the ground with her upper body leaning up against the wall. She held a gun/gun tightly with both hands, almost embedded in her flesh, and the muzzle of the gun was stuffed in her mouth. The cause of death was suicide by swallowing a gun.

The corpse's eyes were lifeless, there were scratch marks on her arms, and there were scraps of flesh in the gaps between her fingernails. Obviously, those wounds were made by herself.

In addition, there is a very obvious smell of blood and fishy smell underground. Other corpses belonging to the Assassin's League are lying not far away, with only scars made by themselves.

Weiwei realized that she felt a little uncomfortable. She had clearly seen her own body, but every time she was resurrected, she would put her glasses back into the package, but not this time, so she looked closely at Anna Elek's death for a long time. shape.

The side mission has been completed, too easily——

In the pool where Mrs. Rothesay was, a motionless corpse lay there. Scarlet liquid was rolling at the bottom of the pool. Even dark red blood bubbles were crawling on the walls of the pool. Fragments of clothing could be vaguely seen. , the current situation seems to be that after the body exchange was successful, Mrs. Rothesay got the gun, and for some reason chose to commit suicide in extreme fear and pain. Then, the assassins of the Assassin's League began to kill each other, and they all died. Kewei Wei vaguely felt something was wrong.

She didn't even have to do anything before Mrs. Rothesay was seeking her own death. Originally, Weiwei was prepared to start a boss battle after Mrs. Rothesay took over her body, but nothing happened... It was as if she had actually experienced one. The boss battle, but I completely forgot about it.

It was clear that she could retract the glasses under conscious control, but Weiwei chose to squat down and touch the [Mayor's Glasses] at this time. The scene around her suddenly changed the moment she touched the body.

It was still a corpse leaning against the wall that had swallowed a gun and committed suicide. It was still Anna Alek, but her clothes had changed. The wall had turned into a bedroom with a simple and cold decoration style. The light gray wallpaper was covered with splattered blood, and the floor was covered with blood. There were many manuscripts and torn pages scattered around.

Weiwei was stunned for a moment, then her hand loosened and left the body's skin. The screen disappeared. She put her hand back on, and the screen reappeared. This time she did not continue to move.

The surrounding scene did not change, but Vivi turned her head and saw the Stark Tower outside the window. This landmark building appeared even in newspapers in Gotham City, and the coat hanging on the hanger in the back was from Anna City. From the often-worn sign, the time could be guessed to be dusk through the light. She lowered her head and found a newspaper under her feet, the New York Times, dated at the end of March this year.

The window outside the window changed from dusk to night in a few seconds, and the light shone on the body with spots on it. Weiwei finally realized that something was wrong——

"Even if the game's realism becomes 95 after the update, the scenes that should be coded will also be coded..." Just like her body after death, there will be no change. This is the game's consideration of the player's acceptance ability. , even if the game is very difficult, some inappropriate pictures will not be displayed. This is probably the last unreal 5, but the corpse in front of you not only has corpse spots, but also emits a smell, Weiwei Frowning, "If I hadn't been used to Gotham City's style of painting..."

Seeing and touching real corpses in pictures that are so real that they are almost indistinguishable from reality is beyond the scope of "playing a game."

At this moment, in the darkness, the eyeballs of the female corpse illuminated by the light outside the window suddenly shook.

In front of Weiwei, the corpse sat up with a stiff expression and pale skin. However, the spots on the corpse receded and the blood stains on the wall returned to the body. The injuries were repaired and the documents scattered around returned to their original state. When the corpse stood up, it directly Passing through the squatting Weiwei, this is probably "passing through the mold".

Or rather...

"March...am I in a CG scene from the past?"

Immersive viewing of CG?

Everything around her was repaired as if it were reversed, but it was still night outside the window. Obviously, it was not reversed, but a mysterious force repaired Anna's body, but it did not change Anna's "death", and her eyes did not Light.

The mayor in front of her was like a doll. She asked her assistant to book a flight to Gotham, and then fired her secretary and assistant. While she was doing this, Weiwei walked to the table and looked at the items on the table. .

She felt that she might have triggered some hidden mission, such as [Branch: Mayor's Past], but she failed to complete the prerequisite, so there was nothing on the mission panel, but it didn't matter.

The torn and blood-stained notebook on the table is obviously very old, but it is still in use. You can tell by looking at the creases of the notebook that it is a notebook that has been used for a long time, and part of the content written on it is In English, part of it is Arabic, and part of it is strange text that can only be read after using the account card of Dessie Diamond and loading the language plug-in.

None of the characters were written in the same handwriting. Coincidentally, Weiwei recognized these handwritings.

——English and Arabic are both in Bella Betti's handwriting, and the special text is in Anna Elek's handwriting.

The notebook is spread out and fixed on a certain page.

"March 19th."

“I tried to use my remaining sanity to record what I saw, but I’m not sure if there’s anything wrong with the words I’m writing now. I don’t know if everything I saw is real. I can’t even recognize myself. Is it alive or dead?"

"I may be alive, I may be dead, I may have turned into a monster. If I die, that is the best ending."

"March 22."

"I haven't died today, but the world I see is no longer normal. I tried to kill myself, which was a bit difficult. My body refused this instinctively. The efforts made to survive have now prevented my death, but , Even so, I don’t regret joining the archaeological team, but I probably won’t be able to be a police officer anymore.”

"As I was writing this, my body had mutated, and I decided to buy a boat that would allow me to float on the sea for the last part of my life. When I still had consciousness, I would detonate the bomb on the boat."

"March 26th."

"The loan to purchase the boat arrived, totaling 11,000 US dollars, of which 8,000 US dollars was used to purchase the ship and 2,600 US dollars was used to prepare raw materials. I used 400 US dollars to hire an agent to sell my small house in Arkham Town to raise money. The full amount was returned to Anna André Alek, and the valuable collection in the house was given to my teacher Cloline Mavis.”

"March 28th."

"It's coming."

"Whoever wants to take my soul, hope that I will not do evil after death."

These records were written by Bella Betwen, and the notebook was transferred to Anna Elek's desk. In addition to the English records, the Arabic content on the paper was still Bella's handwriting, but it looked crazy and hurried. Much larger than English handwriting, indicating poor condition of the writer.

The writing is also intermittent, and it does not look like a record when written. There is no organization at all like other writings.

Bella seemed to be on the run at that time, and the content was all about that "it", an indescribable thing. They disturbed it during the archaeology, and then all the members of the archaeological team either fell into madness or died one after another. As for Bella's legacy, it can only be left to the teacher.

And for some reason, her record book also got into the hands of her creditor Anna. Apparently, Anna had previously borrowed money to fund her "harmless suicide plan."

Next, those weird handwritings all belong to Anna.

Anna seemed to have encountered a strange incident within a few days of getting the note. Part of the content recorded in that kind of handwriting also described "it's coming", and the other part all wrote the same word, but only when it came to this word, Translation is no longer available.

...like someone's name.

The window outside the window quickly changed from night to morning, then to night again, and then the scene changed. Anna Elek, whose eyes were dull, did not arouse anyone's suspicion. She answered a call from Mrs. Rothesay, and the next second the scene had arrived. Gotham, and then the mayor's office. During this time, her body had been emitting a faint shimmer, which stood out among the crowd.

But except for Weiwei, none of the NPCs saw this light. What's strange is that this glimmer of light was still bright in New York City, but it became much dimmer in Gotham City.

"Anna Aleck" was sitting at her desk, turning the pages of the newspaper in front of her. April 1st quickly arrived, and there was still a floor-to-ceiling window behind her. When the light by the window dimmed slightly, the woman who was sitting stiffly had her fingers crossed on the table, her eyes Turn slightly and suddenly become "alive".

At this second, Weiwei had the illusion of being "seen", and then she escaped from this weird state.

Still underground in Gotham County, she was still surrounded by corpses. This time she did not pick up the glasses of the female corpse in front of her, but moved the panel, and the female corpse in front of her moved.

Everything was just like in the CG picture, the blood stains disappeared, the corpse opened its eyes, and "Anna Alek", Weiwei herself, stood up.

She relied on her skills to control the character. The mayor put her hand on Weiwei's shoulder - in fact, she put her hand on her own shoulder.

It seems no different than before.

but……

"No mission triggered?"

After watching a CG, there was nothing left... Weiwei thought thoughtfully. At present, the side mission was completed. The main body and a corpse were here. She opened the map and could see the figures of other people. It was obviously not a place where she would stay for a long time. , Weiwei stared at the point belonging to Thalia on the map, then suddenly froze and looked to her side.

In addition to Talia O. Gu, there is a special red dot next to her, [Terminally Ill Patient].

And the red dot is pointing to Mrs. Rothesay, and she is not dead!

She lay in the pool of blood like a corpse, but she was still alive.

"Hmm..." Weiwei guessed, "So my aunt was deceived by the League of Assassins? The method of exchanging souls failed...the soul just entered my body, wandered around and was exchanged back? No wonder there is no boss battle , and her condition worsened and she became a vegetative state."

The current maids of the Rothesay House probably think that the mayor inside the madam is Mayor Anna, and the mayor standing here is the madam... Weiwei let the body teleport away, leaving the mayor as the trumpet to pick up the only living person present. , although she was no different from a dead person, she didn’t mind receiving Mrs. Rothesay’s inheritance in front of her.

As for the real body, she decided to find Daisy.

What is the name that seems to be a person's name?

The word could not be translated using Daisy's knowledge, but Weiwei thought that she might be able to trigger the same CG again.

"The system is reminding me, Anna, Bella was dead before the game started? Then if nothing unexpected happened, Daisy should also be dead? They are indeed dead now, and I am controlling my corpse, but the corpse puts on glasses and wears their identities."

"The CG I saw seems to have several prerequisites, the main body died as a vest, and after resurrection, it touched the dead vest, and the way of death was the same as the original way of death of the identity."

For example, Anna Alec, both times she shot herself.

And the game has also hinted at Bella's way of death, that is, she committed suicide by detonating explosives on the ship.

As for Daisy... Although there is no hint, Weiwei has already guessed.

She teleported back to South Hinckley Town. The architectural structure of the town has changed many times according to the requirements of the townspeople and investors. It is far from the original cold and almost deserted appearance. Weiwei also caused exclamations when she jumped down from the tree.

The rain was still falling. She lowered her head and walked under the umbrellas of various colors. She could hear the conversations and laughter of people around her.

The rain seemed to wash away the faint smell of blood on her body. Weiwei shook her head.

The too real feeling and the ability to jump in space made her feel a strange discomfort for a moment. People around her didn't know that she appeared from the murder scene, nor did they know that the girl passing by was distracted by contacting the Assassin's League, ordering the maids to deal with the burial of the bodies, and creating riots to delay the vigilantes at the other end of the city.

She split into many parts, but each one was herself.

The rain accumulated in a layer. Weiwei wiped the water droplets on her face when she walked into the school, and then found Daisy Diamond on the second floor of the library.

At the same time, Professor Daisy took a few books from the bookshelf in the corner and walked towards the empty warehouse.

If someone was directly above her and could see through the wall, they would find that when Weiwei entered the library, the two walked towards the warehouse at the same time from two locations and arrived one after another.

...

Tim was called away by the Batcomputer.

He was the first person to realize that something was wrong with Mrs. Rosse. However, Mrs. Rosse was the mayor's aunt after all. After reaching an agreement with Weiwei, he suspended the investigation of the lady.

Later, Mrs. Rosse chose an heir and transferred the property to Anna Alec. A series of actions were all aboveboard. Although a little weird, they were not incomprehensible.

However, after the banquet, Tim went around and returned to the mansion in disguise.

He did not find anything unusual at the banquet, but the disappearance of the host of the banquet was still disturbing. It took some time to sneak in this time. When he saw Mayor Alec again, Mrs. Rosse was in front of him in a coma.

The maids did not seem to think that there was anything wrong with the owner of the mansion being in a coma. They thought it was a "sudden deterioration of the condition", and the housekeeper and the head maid did not think there was anything wrong. Everyone naturally accepted Anna as the new owner.

- After all, Mrs. Rosse had been ill for a long time and had long begun to prepare for the transfer of property. He had no evidence to prove that the lady was forced to transfer assets. Everything was done by resources.

Tim had to leave the mansion when he could not find any other clues and the Batcomputer continued to warn him.

The Batcomputer, as the network hub set up by Batman, monitors the streets and alleys of Gotham City. The Batlight is Batman's symbol, but Batman does not only solve problems when the Batlight is shot into the sky. That is just a tacit understanding between him and the police. Usually, Batman, as a shadow in the dark, sometimes finds and solves problems before the police even appear.

This is the case today.

The problem discovered by the Batcomputer is that the rainfall has exceeded the safety warning line.

The rainfall has lasted for more than a month, and the people of Gotham City did not find anything unusual because they have long been accustomed to such weather in Gotham.

This is one aspect. On the other hand, after the mayor took office, he had already renovated the underground drainage network to prevent floods and raised the ground height of some subsidence areas. Therefore, even if the current rainfall has exceeded the warning value, people did not realize it.

Because the drainage capacity of the city is much stronger than before.

Thinking of this, Tim breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the screen of the PDA, and gradually, his expression changed.

——Tim realized that he had modified the values ​​after the sewer repair was completed. The current warning line has been manually raised after the test results of the new sewer drainage capacity came out.

More than a month of rain has caused the accumulated water to reach the new warning line again, and people have not yet realized it.

Everyone knows that the sewer has been repaired, reinforced and optimized. During the holidays, everyone has visited the sewers in the east district of Gotham City.

No one thinks that there will be an accident this year.

But no one knows when the accident will come.

Tim immediately dialed the communication: "bat..."

...

Batman is not in Gotham, Batman is in Kenya.

At this time, Weiwei was staying in the warehouse with Daisy and locked the door.

After the infrastructure of South Hinckley was built, a university appeared next door to the primary school. It was the Bleechester branch built under the leadership of Professor Daisy. Bleechester was a university in many disciplines of occultism and history. It is an institution with outstanding academic performance. The wonderful history of Gotham City itself also attracts it. However, only some majors are offered here and they are open to American students. After the establishment, the principal of the branch was not Daisy. She complained of physical discomfort. declined.

Weiwei used her body to put on the monocle, while the original corpse was lying beside it.

She was not doing anything else, she was reading a book.

Daisy Diamond was very weak and would lose blood when reading books. At first, Weiwei thought it was because she used skills to consume her brain power and caused blood loss. However, after seeing the causes of death of several people, Weiwei realized... Anna, Bella and Daisy seemed to be confused about the mysterious text, which was related to the League of Assassins. This was a hidden setting that the system did not prompt. She decided to "die" again to look for clues.

After reading the publication with the weird text, as her blood volume slowly decreased, Weiwei did not recover. Her vision went dark, and the familiar perspective of resurrection appeared.

"Dessie Diamond" was lying on the table, having lost her breath.

Weiwei knelt down and pressed her fingertips on the corpse's forehead.

The surrounding scenes changed instantly——

It was no longer a windowless underground warehouse in the library. Cold drizzle drifted in outside the window, and the surrounding furnishings had all changed. She seemed to be in the attic of another building, with her hands lying on the books, and she had lost her breath. Daisy Diamond, Weiwei looked around for the first time, she wanted to confirm the time of Daisy's death.

She found the palmtop computer opened at the end of the desk.

——Dessie Diamond died on May 29th.

The time Weiwei summoned her was June 1st.

The architectural style here is different from Gotham City. Through the drizzle outside the window, you can see the washed green grass. This seems to be a European-style school.

The sky was gray, pigeons were rising and falling among the eaves, and the breathless corpse got up at this moment.

The blood returned to her pale face, and her breathing formed a faint white mist. Her chest rose and fell but her eyes were still dull and stiff. Weiwei jumped down from the table and looked at "her" body from this angle. The feeling at this time was particularly strange. .

She has been able to determine what message CG wants to convey: the special glasses rewarded by the system represent identities, and these "identities" will die a few days before the rewards appear, then be resurrected and go to Gotham City.

——This reminded her of "doctor".

It was clear that the character had already been drawn by drawing a card at that time, but she still had to wait for the doctor to rush to Gotham City from New York, which seemed to confirm that the so-called game characters were actually living people, so they had a "past".

Because Daisy sat up, Weiwei could clearly see the book she was holding under her. Her notes were on the footer of the book.

Combined with the information presented on the computer screen, Daisy Diamond, who had always been weak, hoped to completely transform her body in other aspects and be able to run freely in the sun, so she began to explore "more profound knowledge."

After entering the University of Brightchester, she met many like-minded partners and her research progressed rapidly.

She thought she had found "God".

She believed that contact and belief in that god would allow her to gain extraordinary power and wisdom. The more she came into contact with her, the more she understood that this god represented madness and destruction rather than knowledge. During that time, her spirit seemed to be affected. Due to family reasons, although her body was relatively weak, she just needed to be patiently maintained. But after she started to be exposed to this mysterious knowledge, she lost a lot of weight, locked herself in the attic, and her condition became worse and worse.

Weiwei guessed that Daisy had regretted it at this time. She would record her situation when she was briefly conscious. The first page of the book was clean, but a gust of wind came from the attic and turned the last page. There are dense handwritings, "Run!" "It's coming!"

Weiwei noticed a certain sentence:

“I have sacrificed everything to Him and I am no longer me.”

The surrounding scenery changed rapidly as the sun rose and the moon set. Daisy received an email from Lex Luthor and took the students and others to Gotham City. Then, she left the hotel alone in the early morning, following the shadows of the street. Go forward.

Weiwei just looked at her, and saw her figure fading like gas and disappearing into the air. Finally, the scene switched and landed on South Hinkley Town, and on Weiwei herself.

——This was probably the scene when she summoned Daisy for the first time.

This cg scene ends here.

Weiwei still hasn't activated the task.

"Do I have to die again as Bella... No," she thought of something, "the information conveyed in the CG has something in common, that is, the dead were resurrected and came to Gotham according to the normal process. In the city, no one except me knows that the deceased is dead, so players can use their identities..."

Because their value lies in their identity.

"So... Anna Elek knew about Bella's death. In addition, even though she died at sea, her division commander should also be aware of it, unless -"

Bella Betiven went from an ordinary police officer to a prison warden, and there was no problem with her identity and background. At the end of the cg, she was still in the library's warehouse. Weiwei immediately asked the secretary to collect information about Clorin Mavis - she knew that she could not collect information outside Gotham City by herself - this was Bella's teacher and the designated heir of her estate.

...The results came out very quickly.

"It was the archaeology professor of Miskatonic University in Arkham Town, who disappeared before Bella came to Gotham City..." In addition, the secretary sent another message. Weiwei found a familiar name in the professor's student list. The patient who lived in Arkham Asylum and had found Bella through the staff was the student of this professor and Bella's senior, but Bella dropped out before completing a year of study.

The "Him" that Daisy, Bella and Anna came into contact with was probably the same mysterious existence, and they all died because of Him.

Weiwei changed back to her original identity and left the library. The rain was getting heavier.

People were running under the gloomy sky. They knew that there were syndicates in Gotham City, that there was Batman, that there were superpowers in other cities, and that there had been alien invasions, but all they could see now was the rain in front of them.

Weiwei remembered that if there had not been a system card that erased the fear of ordinary NPCs about the active gargoyles, people in the city would probably have fled Gotham in a panic. This was a dark but peaceful world, because ordinary people would not be exposed to the secrets of the world, they did not understand what disasters were, and they did not think that disasters would befall them.

——Even though the terrifying part of this world was far more than the normal part, the superheroes supported the normal world, blocked the darkness from people's sight, and maintained the peace of society to a certain extent.

If this peace was broken, the whole world would bleed.

Weiwei originally thought that Gotham City was an independent space, and other cities were just supplementary background settings, but the overly realistic pictures in the CG made her feel uncertain.

Even through a window, she saw the figures and lights in the high-rise buildings outside the window.

Weiwei frowned. There was still no mission, but she felt uneasy.

It was as if the mission was actually in progress, she had already touched it, she had already activated it, but she just couldn't see it.

And when she knew nothing, somewhere in the city, an NPC would die--

She still didn't hold an umbrella, but put on a hood, and walked through the rain with her sleeves. South Hinckley Town had changed. Weiwei passed by the door of the orphanage, and a red car was parked there.

The little girl in the car was holding a puppy, looking up at the window, but her eyes were lifeless.

The little girl's father was holding an umbrella and talking to the volunteer of the orphanage. The volunteer was missing his left arm. The father and daughter seemed to be here to donate supplies.

Weiwei hurried over from the side. The father was stunned for a moment, and suddenly took two steps forward and stuffed the big black umbrella into her hand. Then, he opened the car door: "Do you want me to give you a ride?"

Weiwei shook her head subconsciously.

The man smiled, and his daughter seemed to have heard their conversation. The dog's collar showed that it was a guide dog for the blind.

The red car drove away, leaving the umbrella behind.

Weiwei continued to walk with the umbrella. She felt the raindrops falling on her body more real than before, as if she had unlocked something unusual after unlocking the CG. For a long while, she said to herself: "... I don't accept my NPC being killed by others, whether it is human or not."

At this moment, she strangely understood the Penguin's thoughts, his "love" for Gotham City, and why the criminals in Gotham City would expel criminals from other cities.

——Because this is Gotham.

She didn't accept that ending, whether it was □□ or "God". If there was really a God who wanted to kill the people of Gotham, she would kill that "God" first.

[You get the main quest: Kill "Him\
