Naturally, Weiwei doesn't need to go in person to see Sheila, she just needs to stay in a safe room, slowly look through the files marked "Top Secret", and wait for others to bring Sheila over.

This is a ten-year-old girl, with a thin body, unable to support the prison uniform, and her black hair is disheveled, her eyes are staring blankly at the ground in front of her, without looking up.

They were separated by a table, and two prison guards stood behind the girl with their hands behind their backs, and Sheila was not allowed to sit down.

According to the file, she has been imprisoned for four and a half years.

Weiwei stared at her: "She doesn't have a criminal record, and even if she did, she should be sent to a juvenile correctional institution, not Black Gate Prison."

"She has supernatural powers, ma'am." Joseph slipped away early under the name of "healing", and turned into a famous name before slipping, but Vivi didn't bother to talk to him at all, and there were as many people in Gotham who hated her as stars. The warden on the other side is not ranked at all.

What was left behind was the second in command of the Black Gate Prison, a strong man who was too serious, and it was naturally the other party who answered her.

"So... the law of our city is that people with supernatural powers are second-class citizens of Gotham? Even if they haven't committed a crime, they can be caught and imprisoned directly?" Weiwei really asked with a curious tone, because She didn't turn on the judicial-related modules, and now she can't find a place to change the law after searching the system panel.

——If there is such a law, she hopes to directly screen all the evil Gotham criminals with supernatural powers. Anyway, superhumans have no human rights, so they can be sent to be shot one by one.

But others seem to have misunderstood something.

"She's dangerous," the second in command paused, lowered his body and whispered to Weiwei, "...but be obedient."

So they can't release her even if she's not guilty, can they?

The second-in-command thinks that Weiwei can understand what he said, and that people with supernatural powers who can be controlled by the government are extremely rare. The mayor can let the "mouse catcher" do anything except release.

"You can go out now." Weiwei nodded to the second in command.

A few minutes later, only Vivi and the Ratcatcher girl were in the empty room.

"How did you acquire this superpower?"

--"I have no idea."

"Why don't you escape from prison?"

--"I can not do it."

"Do you know you are innocent?"

The girl was silent for a moment, shook her head, and nodded again.

Weiwei turned the file to the last page: "There seems to be more than one large-scale prison escape accident in Black Gate Prison. At that time, no matter who wanted to leave here, it was easy. Why didn't you escape?"

The girl is silent.

——Vivi believes that the ability of the mouse catcher to control mice can help her complete the main task, and the other party is an expert in the sewer, so she is likely to be used in the follow-up tasks.

"She is very obedient", obviously this person can give it for free, but Weiwei wants to release her - the identity of [criminal] cannot be directly transformed into [employee], she can't see Sheila's attributes, the game planning may be at this stage buried pit.

After all, it is an important main task. Even if the price is to pay the other party's salary, Weiwei still wants to ensure that there will be no accidents in the main task.

... This is an incredible concession.

But now that Sheila didn't cooperate, Weiwei thought for a while: "Go and commit a crime."

Sheila: "?"

In fact, Sheila's detention process is not standardized at present, so the other party's detention period is also very vague. She is not guilty at all, so naturally she cannot be convicted, so there is no upper limit for the detention period-but if there is a clear crime, such as going to court Manhole cover, snatching hot dogs, so that the other party can be released legally after being detained.

Rao is the mayor of Weiwei, and she can't release criminals casually. On the one hand, she is the mayor and not the warden. On the other hand, there is no such option on the panel (==)

But when she explained this to Sheila, the girl looked terrified instead.

The girl, nicknamed the Ratcatcher, stood up abruptly.

Then, there was a rustling sound in the whole room. It seemed that several small rodents were crawling around under their feet, and some of them got into the ventilation hole, making the sound of grinding their teeth. The eyes of the quiet Sheila were burning. With real anger: "You lied to me!"

"You're trying to trick me!"

Weiwei raised the corners of her lips instead.

——I found a breakthrough.

"You don't want to commit a crime, not at all. Why?"

Pairs of scarlet eyes of rodents lit up in the filthy darkness, but the blond woman was calm and composed, and even clapped her hands leisurely, as if to applaud herself, she guessed: "You don't want to escape because of this, because even if you Not a criminal, and breaking out of prison while in custody also becomes a criminal, right?"

"Do you think it's funny——" Sheila looked directly at the woman in front of her, but she had to raise her head when she stepped on high heels approaching 1.8 meters, "Do you think it's funny?"

"I am innocent!"

[You get a side mission: The Ratcatcher's Persistence]

【"I didn't commit a crime", Sheila firmly believes in this. She doesn't know her sentence, but she can reduce her sentence by completing the tasks assigned by the officials, so she has become the most obedient "criminal" in Blackgate Prison]

[Mission Description: The Ratcatcher only accepts leaving Blackgate Prison as a non-criminal]

[Task reward: insignificant gratitude or nothing? 】

This task can not be completed.

The mission description explained why Sheila was "obedient", dispelled Weiwei's doubts, and seemed to be able to use her directly like a tool... no wonder!

Gamers are the kind of guys who do meaningless things for "insignificant gratitude". An obvious puzzle is placed in front of Vivi and she is not allowed to solve it. It is not the same as letting a kitten What's the difference between scratching your palm all the time?

Who can say no to a kitten?

Weiwei smiled at her: "No, you committed a crime."

"You directed the rats to steal information, steal keys, help some officials get the clues they wanted, and eliminate dissidents in Gotham... and it's all written in your file."

"Go to prison and reflect."

Weiwei beckoned and asked the prison guards to take away the dazed Sheila, then looked at the map, her eyes fell on the "second in command" and "the warden", and after a long while, she chose one of them.

—Sheila was dragged back to her prison.

A double-decker cell design was chosen here, making sure that no mouse could crawl in, and she couldn't do anything with the power of a mouse.

Why……

She knew who Anna Eleck was, the new mayor, and the mice had told her about it on the way.

Why……

She is obedient enough and hard enough.

Sheila has a not-so-bad father, a rat catcher who works in the sewers of Gotham. His job is to catch rats. On that day, just because he faced a murder case, his father was wrongly imprisoned as the murderer. —that was the darkest time of Sheila's life.

Later, his father was released after serving his sentence and committed real crimes. He arrested those officials, tortured them, and intended to spread the plague in Gotham... and then went to prison again. This time, his father was not wronged.

"He's changed," my mother said before leaving. "Sheila, don't be like your father."

No crime, Sheila thought, no crime, no matter what, as long as I'm innocent, I'll be set free, no matter... no matter...

"You have committed a crime."

Four and a half years in prison didn't destroy her, but this sentence really did.

Have I sinned?

"click"

The door of the cell was opened again, but this time, the female mayor stood in front of her.

And next to her was Warden Joseph, who was sweating coldly. This rare big man stared at Sheila, then raised the tablet in his hand, and began to read:

"Sheila Flennigan, you have committed a total of seventeen illegal and criminal acts as follows...all of them are accomplices, considering comprehensively...you are not an adult and do not have the ability to think independently...and you have served four years and seven years in prison months, the sentence is offset—”

The man nodded at her with complicated eyes: "You were acquitted."

Damn illegitimate daughter Anna Elek, just when Joseph and his men were discussing how to take revenge on this illegitimate daughter who had no background, he received a letter of dismissal from the parliament without any reason, damn they didn't follow the procedure , it stands to reason that he can't be dismissed so casually——

However, dismissing employment on the system panel is just a matter of moving fingers. Wei Wei just fired this guy first, then rehired, and then fired again. After several ups and downs, he changed from a red name to a green name. Simple For the time being, he became a temporarily obedient dog.

After seeing the word [ambition] on the second-in-command, Weiwei felt that it was better not to let Joseph step down casually, but to let them bite the dog - anyway, she was the beneficiary.

Otherwise, when the warden left, why did the second in command stay like that?

"Sheila," the woman held out her hand, her golden hair silky in the sun, "will you work for me?"

Sheila murmured, "Am I innocent?"

"Just because you're innocent doesn't mean you're free," Weiwei thought for a while, "I'll supervise you and make sure you won't commit another crime."

Sheila stared at her and confirmed: "You will indeed do that, right? Supervise me and ask me to complete the tasks you assigned..."

This seems to be an important choice that will affect the opponent's decision, but Weiwei still nodded without hesitation.

"That's great," the girl whispered, "I agree."

【You have activated a new investment channel】

[You currently have a total of seven investment channels activated, do you want to check all investment channels? 】

This is the "Business Investment" module. Weiwei activated this module after visiting the city hall, but at the time she thought she didn't know much about Gotham, and she wasn't sure about making money no matter what she invested in, so she might as well shelve it for now.

Later, Weiwei discovered that not everything can be invested, it must be something she has been in contact with. The bigger the map she opens, the more directions she can choose.

The newly added investment channel is about——

【Become one of the shareholders of Bingshan Restaurant】

[Recommended investment amount: 50 gold coins]

Vivi: "."

really.

Wayne Group Building.

Tim Drake sat in the office on the top floor. Since he grew up, his adoptive father rarely appeared in the Wayne Group. There were even rumors that Bruce Wayne was most satisfied with Tim as the heir and decided to train him Become the real little master of the Wayne family.

Tim often laughs off these rumors, but he is indeed the one with the heaviest and busiest tasks in the family. After all, his eldest brother has gone to the next city to be a policeman.

After dealing with the pile of documents in front of him, Tim went to the window and wanted to move around, but he saw a group of people moving not far away—that is, opposite the Wayne Building.

A team of workers.

What is this doing?

The headquarters of Wayne Enterprises is located in the Diamond District, where every inch of land is precious. The building opposite them is the headquarters of the "Gotham Gazette", the largest newspaper office in Gotham that keeps pace with the times. They even bought an airship at the beginning of the year for use in News and publicity, the profit conversion rate is very good, and the investment will be earned back soon.

And now, the airship is parked on the top floor, and a group of workers are busy up and down around it. Tim's height is just right to see what's going on.

What surprised him was more than that. He saw one of the skinny workers take off his hat to breathe, revealing the face of his friend Peter Parker.

Tim: "..."

Then, everyone dispersed and faced the airship with loud cheers.

A new line of words was painted on the airship, like a row of slogans——

[Protect the environment, take good care of public property, build Gotham City with a simple folk style, and strive to be a hardworking, kind and good citizen. 】

The airship took off.

The workers once again let out huge cheers, as if they had accomplished some proud task.

Tim: "..."

He stared at Peter in the crowd. Although he had just separated from Peter, he felt that he needed to talk to his friend again.
