[Comprehensive British and American] Gotham Mayor Simulator

Because the event has its own group hypnosis buff, in fact, during the celebration period, this city-wide carnival did not cause heated discussions on the Internet, and public opinion broke out completely after the celebration ended.

Those who went to Gotham City posted photos, videos, and the rewards they received, with a review of the game attached.

Among them, one of the most detailed comments was re-liked on a large scale, and the public's comments in the early stage were still moderate, but when the number of reposts surged, another voice appeared, that is——

"How is it possible? You are not lying, are you?"

This is not difficult to understand, because the experience described in the article is not very scientific.

@Suhart:

(Famous film critic, self-driving travel enthusiast, video host)

[Actually, before coming to Gotham, I didn't like it at all.Gotham City is as prosperous as New York, but it’s too gloomy here. I don’t like this kind of bad weather even if it’s a self-driving tour. Besides, everyone knows Gotham City’s reputation. Before coming here, I practiced hard For a while marksmanship.

Then that day came, I got off the plane, went to the hotel, everything was normal, I didn’t encounter the specialties of Gotham City—criminals everywhere, it is said that before the festival, the government cracked down on criminals vigorously, but even if they Show up, and I don't mind flexing my fists (and eight-pack abs).

Then, comes the fun part of the journey.

You know there's more to Gotham than criminals, right, vigilante.

Batman, yes, he is certainly not an urban legend, I visited the Justice League headquarters in Washington DC, and it is said that with luck, Bat lights will be lit at night in Gotham City, and we have a chance to see Batman haunt the sky.

(Here is the distribution network diagram-the photo of the bat light on)

But that night, Batman didn't show up, and my phone received a notification when I entered Gotham City, telling all tourists what to expect during the event, so we can be mentally prepared.

——I originally thought that someone would knock on the door and force us to buy special products, and would tell tourists which places need to check in, but I saw these (pictures - mobile phone screenshot app push).

"The Gargoyle", "The Tin Soldier", "The Magician", "The Underground Labyrinth", "The Circus", well, at first glance, there is nothing wrong with it, I thought it was a hologram or something, but I was wrong.

The hotel presented the candy launched by the event, tin foil chocolate and penguin popping candy. As long as you walk out of the hotel gate, you will see colorful balloons wrapped around the railings and walls.

Then, I saw the tin soldier team in the middle of the night, they turned in through the vent (photo 1) (photo 2) (photo 3), my photo is a bit messy, it is really impossible to take a stable screenshot at that time, um , as you can see, I was turned into jelly, these little rascals didn't do anything else to me, but I decided to get my ass done.

(About [-] words describing the process of the twitter master fighting wits and courage with villains)

I covered it with a dinner plate, and then let it fly into the sky. There was no delay, because other villains would come to "rescue people."

Actually, there's no point in doing that kind of thing...but, my dopamine is pumping, and I'm enjoying the game, pure joy.

I don't know how these villains operate, maybe tiny robots?Being hung by a balloon is a defeat judgment?Candy is packed in their bodies?Getting paralyzed by a gunshot is a new skin-applied anesthetic?Turning into jelly is being hypnotized?All that, but friends, does it matter?

The nature of the game is less important than the experience of the game.I feel the determination and sincerity of Gotham City to do a good job in festival activities, so instead of exploring the essence, but investing in the game is what I should do as a tourist.

The day after catching up on sleep, I took a bag full of candy, packed a balloon, and headed to Gotham East on foot.

I saw a gargoyle flying in the sky, obviously its flying method is not very aerodynamic, it has nothing to do with me, I also saw children selling flowers along the street, in "Gotham City Travel Guide (Not Afraid of Death" Tourist-made version) ", the East End is a dangerous place, and it is also the place where Batman is most likely to be seen, but after I visited it myself, I found that this is definitely not the case here-although I came for the maze, but I It is recommended that this part of the strategy be updated.

(About [-] words describe the process of playing the maze, and obviously there is still more to say)

There are obviously many other possibilities in the room of the maze. I couldn’t enjoy it for a short time. After that, I went to experience other activities, participated in magic shows, and watched animated movies with Gotham background in Gotham theaters. Unfortunately, because Due to work reasons, I only stayed in Gotham City for four days. You can read my column for details.

(For more photos, you can download the "Gotham Celebration Raiders app" to view)]

The film critic posted hundreds of texts and photos about Gotham City in just a few days, describing in detail all the activities that took place during the festival in Gotham City, and was commented, "This is really Gotham, not you." A fantasy city?"

If the other party's descriptions are all true, then Gotham City has a large number of simulated robots of different sizes, aircraft simulated in the shape of gargoyles, new anesthetics, and weather projections covering the entire range... But I think it's Gotham City , um, it seems, it seems, there is such a possibility?

However, in the eyes of netizens, they are really debating for this possibility. In fact, their emotions are under the control of Felix Media Company. The festival is over, how is it possible?Even after the holiday event is over, the remaining impact of the event is valuable, for example, they heated up the topic of Gotham City.

——The next step is the "Gotham Celebration Guide app". The predecessor of this app is the Gotham Travel App, which mainly publishes travel guides, but it has been lukewarm. The main reason is that the app has whitewashed all the guides for the corresponding policies. , no mayor wants his city's reputation outside the city to be "Sin City", right?

Therefore, the travel guide only has normal content, and it is impossible to have such things as "Arkham Asylum Visit Record", but after being bought by Felix, they cut it all out and started posting Gotham celebration guides, and as long as they enter the city Within the range, the download will be pushed automatically, and there will be no advertisements.At present, because of the second heating up of the celebration (even though the celebration is over long ago), many people who have never been to Gotham City downloaded the app, mainly to save pictures and see other people's repo content, and then they were attracted.

When the time is right, the app ushered in the third major revision.

Under the golden "G" logo of Gotham City, a small diamond icon representing South Hinckley Town was added. In addition to the modules completely modified for the celebration, South Hinckley Town related forums were quietly added, and all Copying the format during the event and celebration does not seem obtrusive.

However, the current town of South Hinckley is just a prototype. If it is determined that this town will operate around this theme in the future, then it is not in a hurry to compete for the present. The next step is the Diamond Orphanage, which requires the mayor's wife.

After another seven or eight days of busy work, the company, Professor Daisy and the mayor were responsible for all the work during this period, from the brewing and explosion of public opinion, to the realization of the traffic for South Hinckley Township.

The one related to Weiwei...is another part.

For example, Black Mask, or, for example, Two-Face.

While arguing about "Is Batman a cat, a bat, or a dark shadow" on the Internet, on a calm afternoon, the fear that "The Long Silent Night" can provide can no longer support the use of shrinking props, and the sky darkens briefly. For a moment, people squinted their eyes, almost falling asleep in the next second. Then, they shook their heads to expel the strange drowsiness. When they raised their heads again, they still had the leaden gray gloomyness, as if they had just drifted away. A cloud that is too big.

——It was Weiwei who completely canceled the remaining usage time of the one-time item "Long Silent Night".

The props disappeared, and she hesitated for two seconds between "go back after eating the cake" or "forget about packing", chose the latter, and notified Jason.

During this time, the newly appointed Warden of South Hinckley seemed to be very busy, but Vivi would prefer to call what he was busy with a "brother war", and she was not guilty of it anyway.

Vivi inquired from the cat, although the bug was quickly discovered by Damian, but Tim also investigated Damian's identity, the young assassin of the League of Assassins, the son of Bruce Wayne, and Damian had found He came to the door, decided to teach this guy who "tapped himself" a lesson, and... seemed to want to find the trace of the little brown bear.

As for Tim, he was struggling with how to face two new brothers, one came back from the dead, and the other suddenly appeared. The movement of the young Robin and the assassin was noticed by the elder brother, and Tim threw out the news of Damian to lure Dick. , ran to South Hinckley by himself-for some reason, he seemed to pay attention to Jason, probably the third generation paid attention to the second generation.

To Jason, it didn't matter. After the circus left, the ground was plowed at least three times by various vigilantes.However, on the second day after the event ended, Gotham City Hall issued a clear document that the old underground sewer should be developed and landfilled, so the place where the vigilantes sneaked in only became workers on the third day The construction site can be freely entered and exited.

Everyone: "..."

Taking advantage of this time, Jason began to devote himself to the recruitment of prison guards in South Hinckley Prison.

This is not an easy matter... Because this is a non-existent prison, although it will be discovered by Batman in a short time, it must not be discovered by other citizens, temporarily.

Therefore, prison guards need the following characteristics-

Strict in tone, able to keep secrets; stable in spirit, will not be affected by special criminals; skill does not have to be particularly strong, but must be good at escaping; the focus of work is on surveillance, and the ability does not need to be too outstanding.

This is what Jason concluded based on his experience in fighting Arkham criminals: "Considering the particularity of the prison, the prison guards don't have to be too good at fighting. As long as the prison's magic can work."

Weiwei: "Don't worry about that."

"If they are too good at fighting, I would worry that they would be hypnotized by Arkham criminals, so their mental resistance should be particularly prominent."

"I originally wanted to hire a retired prison guard from Arkham Asylum. He was introduced by the guy at the head of Dick. He retired due to injury and has rich experience. He is now in charge of South Hinckley's work, but..."

However, South Hinckley Prison is not legally a prison, but a... hotel(?), legal person is Dess Diamond.

Sometimes Jason also wondered what kind of philanthropist this Professor Diamond was...or was she just a target pushed out by the mayor?

Here we need to introduce what a private prison is. In the United States, the prison industry is also a big business. Arkham Asylum used to be a private prison for a period of time. A few years after the founder of Arkham turned himself into a lunatic , it was brought under the jurisdiction of the government. The current Blackgate Prison is the official prison of Gotham City, while private prisons are more stringent and subject to government review. This part of the review cannot be done by Gotham City alone, but must be reported to the federal government. Bureau of Prisons.

From review to approval, it is definitely not something that Weiwei can just say "this is the prison in South Hinckley Town". If the process is stuck, the prison may be just a hotel within a year or two. .

According to Jason's understanding, Professor Daisy said that he would find someone to solve the audit problem, but the magic props used to imprison the clown and others can't last long, so in the early stage, the "prison guards" they hired could not be real prison guards with contracts. As long as the prison guards choose to report, Professor Daisy and Weiwei herself will all go to jail.

What was thrown to Jason was a complete mess, and he could leave at any time. Anyway, he watched it coldly for so long. Even if he didn't take over, the clown would not be better off in Vivi White's hands.

But Jason still chooses to abide by the agreement - as long as Weiwei doesn't break the contract first, he doesn't think he will be the one who breaks the contract.

Here comes the problem... how to take care of a large number of criminals after the props fail.

"Then you chose them?" Weiwei held the black cat in her hand, tried to lure it with a cake, but was punched by Maomao on the wrist, "Do you think cats can cook for criminals?"

The man beside her took off his hood, and said with vacant eyes, "Shut up."

Well, his dark circles are a bit heavy.

Yes, Weiwei got the news from the cat before.

Jason needed a prison guard who was alert, would not be hypnotized, and was good at escaping, and a cat fit the bill, so Jason hired a cat.

——Isn’t this very reasonable?

"Strange," Weiwei rummaged through her pockets to find a bag of goat's milk, and continued her plan of seduction, "Why didn't Catwoman kill you?"

"Oh," a not-so-young beauty short opened her eyes, glanced at her, and replied instead of Jason, "You don't think that Serena's code name is Catwoman, and she rules all the cats in Gotham City." Bar?"

Vivi: "Huh?"

It turned over and motioned to Weiwei to help it scratch its head: "Cats are never ruled, we just, uh, make a little exchange with you."

"Is Red Hood cooking cat food for you?"

"Hey," Jason glanced at her, "don't harass the prison staff."

Do you say that sentence again to the cat?

It is not difficult to hire cats——

Many cats were hired during the initial construction period of the East District, but it was "initial construction", and the cats were hired with the help of Catwoman, which is equivalent to signing a contract of equality and mutual assistance. Of course, with the help of Sheila, the employment of mice It's not difficult either.

But Jason used another way, he was familiar with Catwoman.

There is no way, after all, it is an old opponent. He knows that Catwoman can indeed assist in fighting with a few cats, but it is impossible to control so many cats. Thinking of the behind-the-scenes controller of the Eastern District Improvement, obviously, Weiwei also has something to talk to cats.

They have already decided to believe in her prison, and it doesn't make any difference to have one or two more props.

He obtained the "Stray Animal Rescue Card" by "borrowing" (Jason couldn't figure out why this guy insisted on borrowing). After knowing the function of the rescue card, Jason took his sunflower Cecilia.

Not all cats can talk to each other. The information sent by the animals is fragmented. Even if there is a rescue card, you can only talk to those "smart" animals.

Jason first ruled out carnivores and animals at the human table at the meeting, and after hesitating between cats and dogs for a while, he went to visit an old cat.

Dogs are indeed more energetic and loyal, but...Jason can't imagine a future where he walks a hundred dogs in South Hinckley. Dogs need companionship and feedback more, while cats are less dependent on humans.

He wants him to maintain a "cold" employee-boss relationship with his critter staff.

Vivi: "?"

Just be happy.

Anyway... Ever since Jason took over the prison, he hasn't asked her for money.

It is said that he bought all the cat food and rice by himself.

Closer to home, the card effect is over, and the criminals who have been tortured in Miniature Gotham——

They all returned to the human world.

On this ordinary evening, the colorful street trees directly above the glass zenith glow with a steady blue light.

Harvey Dent opened his eyes.

Harvey Dent, the youngest District Attorney in Gotham City, a strong contender in the mayoral election, suffered revenge from the underworld in court, half of his face was disfigured, and he has been known as "Double-Face Man" ever since Debuted in Gotham World.

"Double-faced man" not only represents his face, but also means that his way of acting is also uncertain. He can choose to be a good person or a bad person. It is not him who decides everything, but the probability, that is, his A coin in your hand - one side is good and the other side is bad.

The Joker doesn't like him - because Two-Face confirms his theory that anyone who has just one bad day in their life is totally screwed.

The sulfuric acid and disfigurement reminded the double-faced man of the torture he suffered as a child. He completely fell into the black side, violated the agreement with his friend Bruce Wayne, and became a dark part of Gotham.

And since he's depraved, there's nothing "interesting" about him, presumably the Joker thinks so.

The moment Harvey's eyes touched the light, he subconsciously curled up.

——This is the physical reaction of staying in the long silent night for a long time.

Because the light means danger, numb pain and death, there is only one place with light, the tree in Crime Lane, if it is huddled in the dark, it may be able to avoid the inexplicable attack, and as long as it is in the light If you fall, you will definitely be killed.

Pain, death, resurrection, repeated again and again, there is no difference between day and night, and suicide is useless. They are locked in a separate prison, and they no longer have the freedom to die.

Not only the black mask, but even the clown has been affected by nearly a month of imprisonment—of course he is not afraid of pain, but the clown has become more irritable than before, he must have, there must be something in the darkness something to fear.

But he waited numbly for a while, Harvey was not hurt.

His sluggish thinking began to function normally. In the room with bright and clean windows, he raised his head, ignoring the bright incandescent lights around him, and saw the sky through the glass for a long time.

There were a few clouds in the twilight sky, but the stars were already starting to shine.

This is a prison.

There were two figures in front of him, but Harvey didn't bother to look, he just stared greedily at the real sky in front of him, until the girl raised one foot and stepped on the cell railing.

"Harvey Dent," she read to the screen of her phone, "when you first started out, you robbed a bank, killed seven bank employees, two ordinary people who went to withdraw money, and then took the stolen money Give the money to the Charity House, break into the court, cut off the electric switch of the court, murder the judge in the dark, walk away, you cooperate with the Riddler..."

Weiwei didn't care about Harvey's reaction, she just calmly read out the evidence she had collected, and finally she said: "You have a chance to argue."

"Are you going to let him go because of his refutation?" Jason said coldly.

Vivi shrugged.

Harvey's gaze finally came together. He glanced at the two of them, and then looked into the distance. This is an obviously abnormal prison. He made a judgment: "You...are illegally imprisoned."

When he just uttered the first word, his voice was still very difficult, and the long-term torture made him not conscious, but it was probably because the double-faced man was a criminal with mental problems—he was suspected of being schizophrenic—so He quickly returned to his original level.

His emotions were like a dry pool of water, but the stars and lights gave him strength again, and he seemed to be "well".

At this time, he narrowed his eyes, and a silver light fell on his palm. At some point, his two fingers clamped a silver coin, with human heads on both sides, but one side was broken.

"Night Watchman," he said Vivi's code name as a vigilante, everything in the past was as clear as yesterday, "Do you want to break the law?"

He could be locked up in Arkham or Blackgate Prison, but he can't be illegally imprisoned by the Vigilante, not for long.

"So you gave up trying to defend yourself against the crime you committed? You confessed it?" Vivi put her feet down, adjusted the glass to a gaseous state, and approached the railing, "Harvey Dent, Batman talked to me about you."

The spin of the coin between Harvey didn't stop at the word Batman.

"You have been affected by schizophrenia, from Gotham's light knight to today's criminal, but he thinks you can be saved, a good person becomes a bad person, how painful it is," Vivi lowered her voice, " So I told him that I can use magic to save you and drive out your bad side of personality."

The short-eared beauty beside them pulled Jason's calf and jumped onto his shoulder, meowing in cat language: "Won't bats suspect?"

The tone of it was old-fashioned, but Jason wanted to laugh a little for some reason.

Old man, does even the cat know that you are suspicious?

"If all goes well, Harvey Dent is still the original Knight of Light. Of course Batman doubts the role of magic. He asked me to give him the props to study, but the props are time-limited, so he gives you the right to choose— I think if it were you, you would use coins to make decisions, if you are on the good side, then become a good person, if you are on the bad side, then reject this 'gift'," she shrugged, "Magic There was a price, and the price was paid by Batman, without him knowing it."

That's right, "Gotham Madness" roses were grown by Bat himself when he was a flower farmer in the rose garden, and he didn't even know it.

But Weiwei didn't notice that when she said that, Jason behind her breathed heavily for a moment.

The coin spinning in Harvey's fingertips stopped, and his expression showed that he was lost in thought.

Weiwei suddenly grasped a water hose in her hand, and the end of the hose pressed against Harvey's chest. She pulled the man who was seven or eight times her weight closer, and let his face rest on the railing. Her tone was cold. of: "Batman gives you the option to—"

"But I won't give it."

She didn't care about the terrifying half of the double-faced man's face at all, and pinched his chin with the other hand, opened the guy's mouth, and showed a "friendly" smile: "In my case, criminals never have the right to choose. "
