Chapter 1: Gotham is the Gotham of the people of Gotham
Good news, you've traveled, and you're the mayor.
The bad news, Gotham City.
City Center.
On the top floor of the Municipal Building.
Li Yang stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, looking out over the high-rise Gotham.
On the glass, which was colored scarlet by the setting sun, there was a shocking caption: [Number of Citizens: 865].
"Citizens: 8.65 million.
Poverty: 6.72 million.
"The gap between rich and poor is huge.
"Crime level: hell.
Satisfaction with public order: 9%.
Li Yang frowned.
This was Gotham!
The simple Gotham of the people!
A seemingly bright and shining city, but it was shrouded in the clouds of crime and violence.
The gangsters, the politicians, the cops, the police, the gangsters, the gangsters, the politicians, the police, the police, the police, the police, the police, the police, the police, the police, the police, the police, the gangsters.
The secret deals and transfer of benefits between them have intertwined into an invisible black net, weighing heavily on the heads of Gotham's citizens.
Li Yang secretly shook his fist.
After he traveled to become the mayor of Gotham, he awakened the "Live in Peace and Happiness" system.
The mission of the system is to turn Gotham into the best civilized city in the beautiful country, and to save the people of Gotham from the deep heat of the sea.............
"Mr. Mayor, Bruce Wayne has arrived."
The voice of the female secretary on the phone interrupted Li Yang's contemplation.
"Please ask Mr. Wayne to come in."
Li Yang sat on the sofa and looked at the famous Batman with interest.
He was tall and handsome, wearing an expensive customized suit, with thick curly hair combed meticulously and a cynical smile in his eyes.
Anyone who looked at him would think he was a playboy rich kid.
Of course, Li Yang will never think so.
Bruce Wayne is just a mask of the Dark Knight Batman.
In his heart, Li Yang has already evaluated him.
The merits and demerits are 50/50.
He has made an indelible contribution to Gotham by going down to the front line and fighting criminals in the guise of Batman.
However, it is also an indisputable fact that his abuse of weapons and violence has seriously jeopardized the lives and property of the general public.
Dark Knight, your days of being unorganized and undisciplined and getting away with it are coming to an end today!
Li Yang thought in his heart, but his face didn't move, smiled and extended his hand to Bruce Wayne.
"Mr. Wayne, welcome to City Hall. This city needs responsible people like you."
Bruce shook Li Yang's hand, a hint of alertness flashed in his eyes.
From the moment he entered the office, he had been secretly observing the newly appointed mayor.
Although the contact was less than a minute, Bruce still keenly realized that there was a kind of indescribable majesty on Li Yang.
This majesty blended with his approachability, giving him a very rare demeanor.
After getting closer, Bruce saw absolute light and justice in the young mayor's eyes.
This was not surprising.
Every mayor in Koppel had come to office with dreams of glory and glory.
But all of them were defeated by the mob's coercion.
Mayor Lee, how long can you hold out? Half a year? Or half a month?
Bruce didn't expect Mr. Mayor to be his partner in crime.
As long as he wasn't a stumbling block, he was satisfied.
"Mr. Mayor, I'm afraid you've got the wrong man." Bruce still had a cynical smile on his face.
"Really Mr. Wayne, I think it's in everyone's interest to be frank."
Li Yang decided to get to the point.
He stood up and said in a sincere tone.
"How many sleepless nights have you spent alone on the cold streets fighting crime.
The number of criminals you caught in a week is probably more than the number of new arrests in a month, you are a well-deserved hero of the people."
Li Yang's words made Bruce Wayne a little surprised, he stopped the flirtation he was about to open his mouth and looked at Li Yang seriously.
"Could it be discovered?"
Bruce's originally careless eyes gradually deepened.
He knew that in front of the mayor, he might not need to pretend anymore.
After a moment of silence, Bruce finally spoke, "Mr. Mayor, how can I trust you?"
"You don't have to trust me, as a citizen of Gotong City, you have the duty to help maintain public safety."
Bruce sneered, "Assistance? Do you need my money, or weapons and equipment?
The Wayne Group can provide a fundraiser for the city, but I have my own way of maintaining public safety!"
"What an obsession!
Li Yang frowned, but decided to be patient.
"Mr. Wayne, interfering with the law enforcement with your private arms is a violation of the law in itself."
Bruce shook his head, looking disappointed.
"Mr. Mayor, you've been sitting in your shiny office for too long, you should be out on the dirty streets at night.
The only way to stop those heartless gangsters is to fight violence with violence!
You, the mayor, the prosecutor, the inspector, you only take the money from the boss, drink coffee in your office, and flirt with pretty secretaries.
The ordinary police officers are either in bed with the criminals, or they are suppressed by the chiefs and do nothing.
Mr. Mayor, it's true that I've broken the laws of Gotham.
But look around! Mobsters are in charge, the police force is corrupt, and the political forces are all over the place.
In Gotham, the law is just a tool to manipulate the people, and the rules are just shackles to keep the weak in line.
If the law can't protect us, I have to take up another weapon! "
Bruce didn't realize for a moment that he had said so much in one breath when they first met.
It was as if he had some kind of aura that could make people unconsciously reveal their deepest thoughts.
Bruce clenched his fists, half a step forward, full of oppression overlooking the sofa Li Yang.
Unconsciously, his voice also changed to Batman's hoarse and low voice.
"I can't help it! I must protect it, this is my Gotham!"
Li Yang had been listening quietly.
It wasn't until Bruce finished speaking that he shook his head and replied slowly but firmly.
"You're wrong. It's the Gotham language of the Gotham people."
