Chapter 512 Two kinds of mayors

“Mayor Lane has begun the fight to end homelessness.”

Lear walked into the passage and came to the underground. This place is Ryan's favorite invitation-only Mewtwo club. It has a lot of perverted Mewtwo content. Compared with the perverted black Mewtwo made by Zhengfa Jotaro, it is not cruel. , but weird.

This is the Red Queen's race. The Mewtwo Club was established to satisfy the weird fantasies of prominent people. It has wide connections and strong privacy.

But now, the ground is full of corpses with their brains burned off, and the broken cables are constantly beating as if they are alive, and sparks are flying, becoming one of the few lights in the darkness.

The LCD screen started playing news.

The distorted colors play news from the past, things that happened in Night City that no one cares about.

"The results have been impressive. In the past month, Xiaodao reporters have counted a total of 654 homeless people who were forcibly cleared by the NCPD, and many of them were shot dead on the spot."

[Peralez: Is this what you want? This is what Lane calls the art of statistics. 】

Lille didn't say anything, and the octopus arm threw out a steel pipe and smashed the TV.

But there are also a lot of TVs here.

“The mayor signed the ‘Night City Technology Upgrade Plan’ last month. This plan aims to improve the living standards of Night City residents and allow everyone to enjoy the beauty brought by high technology.”

"In the past month, the firepower on the streets of Night City has escalated uncontrollably. Gangs have easier access to rocket launchers and high-yield explosives. A large number of illegally modified prosthetics have flowed out of the black market. The intensified conflicts have made residents live in fear. "

"There are rumors that a group of gang members known as the Bozo Gang have established a terror order in the civilian market and forced residents to meet the sales quotas of some company sales staff."

[Peralez: Ryan claimed that he would introduce high-tech technology, but in the end we all saw the results. High-tech bullets and explosives destroyed cities, disrupted people's lives, and made them live in fear. 】

Lil shook his head, blew up another TV, and continued to move forward.

"We know that in order to improve the environment of Night City and prevent sandstorms, Mayor Lane built an artificial wind-break earth wall outside Night City, and the Pezo Petrochemical Company built a water storage dam outside the city. This once became the city of Night. The most eye-catching super project in the city and has been around for several years.”

“But we recently discovered that due to Petra Petrochemical Company’s cost-saving policies and uncontrolled scrapping operations, lead levels in excess of 100 ppb and mercury levels in excess of 5 ppb were detected in the dam’s reservoirs.

In addition to excessive amounts of heavy metals, the levels of toxic chemicals including benzene, polychlorinated biphenyls and other compounds were also more than five times the normal value. "

"Although Pezo Petrochemical has repeatedly stated that the dam will not leak, the probability of severe birth defects in the Santo Domingo area has reached an unprecedented 33.9%, and the prevalence of chronic diseases is as high as 87.8%."

"And the pH value of rainfall in Night City is below 5 all year round, and the concentration of toxic haze particles in the air on foggy days can reach up to 300g/m."

[Peralez: This is the freedom that Ryan preaches. Pezo is free from petrification, but Night City has to live in their shadow. 】

[Peralez: His freedom is out of control. 】

Lille kept walking forward and found that the door of the luxury box room at the end was open, and Peralez was standing in the room, standing straight.

He was wearing sunglasses and looked a little strange, as if he had been waiting for a long time.

This surprised Lille.

I didn't expect it to be here.

The final news played on the LCD screen behind Peralez:

"In 2076, Night City was rated as the worst area in the United States, with a far leading violent crime rate and the largest population below the poverty line in the United States."

"This is where Lane was built. Knight, the founder of Night City, wanted this place to be a paradise, and it ended up being a hell."

Peralez's voice had an unidentifiable tremor that was inaudible to humans, but obvious to the AI.

Behind him, Ryan's body was shaking violently, as if he had woken up from a nightmare. Except for the muscles and organs on his face, he couldn't feel anything else!

"Fuck-ah" The tingling sensation in Ryan's ninja body focused all his attention on his mouth and throat.

"But people still flock to it. This is the scarcest resource in the 21st century - you, Holt, you two idiots will never understand!

That's why, I am the mayor and you are not! "

Ryan's face turned red, and every time he spoke, there was an exaggerated numbness and tingling sensation in the muscles of his chest!

But he knew he still had to speak, just like he always did in public—

Holt and Peralez were just showing off, but he really valued this kind of speech, because he really thought that he might have such a day!

"It's a lie, it's an illusion, but your dream is so close, it's like. It's like. It's like it's within fucking reach!"

Ryan gasped for air after shouting, but he didn't dare to wait for himself to take a complete breath before continuing. He was deeply afraid that his energy would be gone and he would be unable to speak again!

"If you want something, you have to learn to do whatever it takes! That's the rule of this city!"

Ryan tried his best and scratched his neck: "How could wealth fall from the sky just by sitting at home doing nothing?

How can you be a dog by licking other people's shoes and expect fairness to be the norm?

How is it possible that while lying on the sofa and dreaming, the dream really knocks on the door? !

The company has the most advanced technology, the largest production line, and the smartest talents. They wear Chaomeng headbands on the streets all day long to masturbate, fly leaves, and think about either big steel cannons or small soft abalone. Such miscellaneous things. , you tell me they should be happy and successful?

Go fuck yourself—"

After Ryan finished shouting, his muscles suddenly choked, and he fell straight on the sofa, looking at Lear with his big eyes——

It's bad, he didn't even finish his words now.

Peralez shook his head and looked at Lille: "Look, Ryan is such a person, it's no wonder Night City has become what it is today.

But you and I, we are different. I know you are not the so-called 'liberal fanatic'.

People can be taught, they can be changed, they can.”

Lear raised his eyebrows: "Can it be tamed?"

Peralez didn't see any problem and nodded happily.

“As long as there is enough data and a complete model is established, human behavior is not difficult to predict.

If it can be predicted, it can be interfered with, and if it can be interfered with, it can be controlled. The direction of society is not completely disordered.

Look, I know you have a lot of opinions about the company, but you can trust me. "

Lille was noncommittal and silently scanned the current Peralez.

Domestication is a special word. Human beings think that they can tame all lower-level animals. Perhaps this idea has also been passed down to AI.

For example, the AI he is communicating with now——

This Mr. Blue Eyes.

It was obvious that Peralez was no longer speaking by himself. The sunglasses were used to cover up the fluorescence produced when a large amount of data flowed through the brain, and perhaps had some enhanced control effects. Lille was silently analyzing its wave frequency.

Jack and V didn't speak. The current conversation was a bit beyond their knowledge.

But to be fair, although Lane spoke like a bandit and a scoundrel, it made them more acceptable.

What Peralez was talking about was obviously about building a paradise, but it still felt... hard to accept, and it felt like a strange thing.

Lille took out Yinglong from his clothes and motioned Peralez to step aside——

If this were said to him in his twenties, he would strongly agree.

The unruly people really need to be strictly controlled. It's too much to take care of.

But he couldn't stand it, and now there were two unruly people around him, and he himself became a unruly person.

"Get out of the way, last warning."

Ryan was delighted and Peralez sighed.

".Okay, then just think I saw the wrong person."

In the slightly surprised eyes of Jack and V, Peralez stepped aside.

Leal stared at Peralez's face and thought.
