Chapter 82: Arthur

"This is Gotham City Radio, reporting the news you need around the clock!"

"Good morning, today is Tuesday, October 15th, temperature 5 degrees Celsius."

"Today is the eighteenth day of the sanitation strike."

"The accumulated trash is increasing at a rate of ten thousand tons per day."

"Even the most beautiful areas in the city are now like swamps."

"Health Commissioner Edward O'Rourke has declared a state of emergency for the entire city!"

While the broadcast played in the background.

The camera slowly brightened.

Before the eyes was an old, dim dressing room.

The room not only contained lockers and a dining table, but miscellaneous items were even piled up on the radiators everywhere, seemingly serving multiple purposes at once.

As the camera slowly pushed in.

Several figures busy in the dressing room were passed over, including a short dwarf and a fatty wearing a strange clown suit...

In front of a vanity mirror surrounded by warm yellow bulbs.

A long but incredibly thin man's figure was applying makeup in the mirror, his right hand pinching a brush, smearing white clown paint onto his face stroke by stroke.

With the man's movements, he wore a thin undershirt, his shoulder blades somewhat protruding.

And the audience members who were just thinking about where Gotham City actually was.

At this moment, they furrowed their brows.

This sloppy, down-and-out man's figure in the camera... inexplicably gave them a very familiar feeling!

Until the camera pushed in even further.

The man's face in the mirror was vaguely visible.

Although it was already covered in clown makeup, making the features almost unrecognizable!

But some audience members still recognized him! They gasped in disbelief!

At this moment, the man with his back to the camera, incredibly thin... with a head of messy, weed-like curly hair.

Was it actually Su Chen?!

However... it was indeed possible to change one's physique through AI when participating.

It stood to reason that Su Chen also wanted to fit the character better!

Realizing this.

All the audience members associated it with the synopsis.

The protagonist Arthur was indeed a down-and-out, mentally ill figure living a hard life.

And this back view was inexplicably a perfect match!

Although the look was a bit ugly...

And as the camera pushed in, the broadcast continued, now playing countless complaints sent in by the public.

"This is the first time in decades, no need to wait until someone dies or gets sick from typhoid! The situation is already very urgent!"

"Almost everyone in the city is suffering! No matter what they are called or where they live."

"No matter which street you walk down, you will see trash and rats."

"My customers can barely walk into the store!"

"It's a mess! I've been in this country for fifty years and have never seen such a situation. What is this world turning into?!"

"Lock them in a room and make them discuss a solution, whether it takes 24 hours or 48 hours!"

"Letting the National Guard clean it up is a good idea!"

"Next news, builders and property owners have expressed concern over the rising price of heating oil..."

Amidst the terrible broadcast full of social unrest and public dissatisfaction. ===== CHAPTER 83 =====
