Xia Yanzhen gestured to Tiamat.

Tiamat quickly shrank, flew over, and pressed against Xia Yanzhen's earlobe, making herself look like a small decorative earring.

Xia Yanzhen fell into the alley formed by the back of the building and another building. He came out and walked to the street. Like many people, he stopped under the screen to watch the news.

The time is approximately winter.

There is a cold and damp feeling in the air.

There are many people wearing coats on the street. Prisoner of Darkness is a little thick and eye-catching, but it can still be classified as "normal clothes".

There is no need for Xia Yanzhen to change clothes deliberately to keep a low profile.

Moreover, the seven-day mission is not a long time, so I am afraid it is not suitable for keeping a low profile, observing in secret and then slowly figuring it out.

From the news, Xia Yanzhen learned that this city called Gotham is an extremely divided place.

It has the highest crime rate in the world and an extremely developed economy.

Gotham has luxurious commercial buildings, central business districts, high-tech parks, and ports that work day and night.

There are also various abandoned factories, a large number of homeless people, slums that occupy one third of the entire city, and various gangs and villains.

During the day, Gotham is a city of gold and paper, but after midnight, Gotham is a city of sin.

Soaring hopes, the danger of being shot in the head if you make the wrong move, power, money, corruption, crime, everything is intertwined in this city.

Theoretically, it is difficult for such a weirdly divided city to exist.

The extremely high crime rate and extremely large slums are enough to destroy any city.

The reason why Gotham can become such a deformed existence.

It's because someone held the crumbling city back, creating the strange balance it has today.

This person is the confirmed deceased superhero, Nighthawk.

He appears at night and spares no effort to crack down on various illegal and criminal activities.

Repairing Gotham's broken load-bearing columns.

But also because of the existence of superheroes, it has attracted a variety of super villains that are crazier than ordinary criminals.

Most of these people have brain problems.

They cannot be sentenced and can only be imprisoned in a mental hospital. Returning to the hospital is just like going home.

A few people who are not so mentally ill have established a community of interests through various bribery methods, and going to jail is just like going home.

Now Nighthawk is dead.

Will these super villains feel bored without Nighthawk and leave this deformed city, or will they completely devour the city?

The question asked over and over in the news is where Gotham will go without Nighthawk.

Then came the Gotham Police Department recruitment COP (police officer) advertisement. It was obvious that the entire Gotham needed a stronger armed force.

In Gotham, COP is a super high-risk profession.

In the past, because I was given a lot of money, and Nighthawk Man could always show up mysteriously to save people.

There are still many people who become COP for money or justice in their hearts.

And now that Nighthawk is gone, becoming a COP is no less than joining the X Army at 49.

This recruitment advertisement is more like a placebo for the police department to tell the public that "we are working hard."

As for whether it is useful...

To be honest, the citizens of Gotham are very nervous.

As a street in the commercial center, people are still coming and going here, and it is quite bustling and lively.

It's hard to see that a storm is coming and the building will collapse.

"Isn't this Gotham? Criminals and citizens are just weeds. After one crop is cut, there will be another crop." Xia Yanzhen thought to himself.

Next, he spent some time wandering around the area, and through the city map, he constructed a rough "appearance" of the city in his mind, and then headed to the Gotham Police Station.

As the time approaches midnight, we leave the bustling and lively area.

The surroundings began to become deserted and dark - many street lights were broken and no one was repairing them.

There are fewer pedestrians and fewer vehicles on the road.

The dark city is like a giant beast slowly waking up.

Fortunately, Xia Yanzhen made it all the way to the Gotham Police Station without any problems - which made him a bit regretful.

I originally thought about meeting a few blind robbers and getting some start-up funds for the mission from them.

When we arrived near the Gotham Police Station, all the street lights beside the road were on, and there were voices.

Xia Yanzhen walked a few steps quickly, turned across the street and came outside the gate, and saw hundreds of people gathered here.

"Demonstration?"

Xia Yanzhen walked up to a man and asked, "Brother, what are you doing here?"

The man was wearing thin clothes and was using his hands and feet to resist the cold from freezing hands and feet.

Hearing Xia Yanzhen's words, Xiaotiao replied: "Of course I'm here to apply. Didn't you see the advertisement for COP recruitment?"

"So many people are applying for the job? Are you willing to take such a dangerous job? Is the employment pressure so high?"
