"Your faithful San Francisco, you will never be forgotten."

Chapter 555 Norton (4k)

[Emperor of the United States, this identity may sound like a violation of common sense, but the shocking fact is that in the history of this republic, there really was a person called "Emperor", and he was not the president of any generation, his The story is filled with many unbelievable facts]

[The emperor's name is Joshua Abraham Norton, a man with shadows of many religious celebrities in his name, who spent the first twenty years of his life in obscurity, and no one would think of his future legend . 】

[In 1849, Norton made business investment as a speculator, and his wrong judgment made him lose all his money and go bankrupt, which was not surprising at that time;

However, Norton seemed to see an option that no one had ever imagined, and he happened to realize that there is nothing in the American Constitution that prohibits a citizen from "becoming emperor"]

[No one knows exactly what happened to him and what changes in his thinking occurred.But in the end, ten years after the investment went bankrupt, Norton returned and announced in a San Francisco newspaper that he was on the throne]

["Emperor of the Republic", such a fresh gimmick.People regard Norton as a novel and interesting thing, and pay attention to him with a playful attitude, and Norton's popularity rapidly rises for a while]

[According to the common sense trend, this funny farce will become a very creative joke, or a shameless mad performance of speculators who want to please the public, and will leave the scene silently after providing the citizens with temporary entertainment-but, the legend is Here it goes! 】

【Norton didn't take this as a joke. He acted as an "emperor" and kept proposing "king orders" to make this society better.He solemnly patrols the streets of San Francisco, repairing public works, deterring immoral behavior, and any other initiative that is beneficial to the betterment of the city]

[Oppose discrimination, oppose Chinese exclusion, support women's equal rights, oppose excessive superstition, hope to build bridges to improve the city's economy, and even establish the United Nations... Norton kept making proposals that were unimaginable at that time, and tried his best to promote their implementation.Not only were they bizarre at the time, many of these proposals are still ahead of their time today]

[I didn’t use my fame for my own benefit, and I never abused my influence. Norton lived cordially with the people of San Francisco, helped others, criticized those who provoked conflicts, and insisted on it day after day]

[Without using force and fighting, without relying on incitement and demagoguery, without the slightest legitimacy and blood?Why can such an illusory emperor exist? 】

[It's morality, Norton's morality supports him!He has won people's favor with his noble character and golden spirit, and the occupation of "Emperor" is even written on his official identification document, becoming a recognized truth! 】

[He is like a philosopher king, who regards San Francisco as his ideal country, and spends his whole life building this independent "fairy tale kingdom"]

[Norton's "rule" continued with the daily life and became a part of the life of San Francisco people. On the evening of January 1880, 61, His Majesty Norton, who was once again invited to give a speech at the university, was patrolling the road as always, and suddenly fell down when passing the church, and passed away at the age of [-].]

[The emperor's inheritance is only a single-digit dollar and four canes, as well as some things presented by his subjects.His life was clean and simple, never married]

【"Blessed by God, Norton I, Emperor of America and Protector of Mexico, returns to heaven"——People in San Francisco read the news in the newspaper with a heavy heart, and their Majesty left]

[Norton I's funeral was held two days later, and 3 people spontaneously lined up on both sides of the street to see him off, and the line stretched out to a length of 3 kilometers. San Francisco skies "eclipsed" by total solar eclipse on January 1880, 1]

[Throughout his life, His Majesty Norton has never really owned the land and power, let alone be regarded as a ruler, but he has truly won the love of the people.Norton's power is not enough to change an era or bring about tangible changes, but he is like a fairy tale dream, making San Francisco people feel something, something they are pursuing in their hearts]

[He continues to exist like a spiritual symbol. The sea-crossing bridge mentioned in his "decree" was completed more than 50 years later. The alias of "King Norton Bridge"]

【This is the fairy tale of Norton, the only emperor of the United States of America...】

…………

"In short, it's probably that kind of story. There are many rumors and deeds about Norton, but he is not an official great man after all, and the accuracy and authenticity of most of the events are very subtle."

Turning over his palms like closing a storybook, Tomato ended his explanation.

"It's really unbelievable like a fairy tale. It sounds a lot of emotion, but... why is it here! The place where the story is told is definitely strange!"

Lai Qixiao stamped her feet for a while, looking at the window glass in front of her dumbfoundedly.In the same temporary detention room, Tomato, Raleigh, Mitu and herself lined up, looking at the small white room with different expressions of embarrassment.

By the way, in the next room separated by a wall, the Iron Pill who doubts life is locked up...

After all the previous incidents were connected together, it finally led to the confusing scene where both the enemy and ourselves are in prison. People who never expected to play such a "hidden ending" are naturally quite exciting.

The matter started when Tomato flew out of the car through the wall, and he chased after Adan without looking back, leaving the remaining three people in the car staring at each other, embarrassed in place:

Lai Qixiao (minor): "Do any of you... know how to drive?"

Doctor (people from another world): "Huh?"

Yes, their car was so embarrassingly stuck on the road. Lai Qixiao tried to move it aside, but instead pushed against the guardrail. When the police arrived, they brought all three of them back to criticize and educate.

On the other side, when Tomato walked through the wall, he took the pizza from the oven, and when he was surrounded by the church, he was dispatched by the police at the speed of light. He wanted to speed up and escape, but he was picked up by two policemen on skateboards before they could fit together. up...

As for Raleigh?He sometimes puts on this kind of skill, it must be fine, but when the police arrived... he was holding a street sign in his hand =_=

In this way, the four were all brought up by these energetic San Francisco police for driving without a license and obstructing traffic, ineffective supervision and failure to stop children breaking the law, burglary pizza and vandalism of public facilities.

Except for Ah Qiang, who was really not doing anything at the time, only the doctor who looked underage and did not participate in the driving escaped, and the four players were beaten by the police to destroy the group, which is really gratifying (?)

"It's all about what, why do they even have to run into that alley to have a look..."

Raleigh was very helpless, the matter had already been settled, and he was trying to find a place to put down the road sign, but he bumped into the police just like that.

By the way, of course, the man in green clothes, who looks very similar to the gangster from the land of the left, didn't really have his head chopped off, so Raleigh just said that, even if he didn't mention whether he would have done it so ruthlessly and done it so bloodily Cruel behavior will lose the favor of the employer, and the gain outweighs the loss.

Therefore, this arrogant gang member who was lucky to save his head is probably still in the hospital, right?A few beats with the strength of the world, it's not a joke...

"Although it wasn't a serious violation in the first place, and Jotaro would definitely bail us out, it's still embarrassing when things turned out like this. The first time I entered the police station was because of something like this..."

Lai Qixiao lay helplessly on the table, waiting for Jotaro to come to find someone.

"Being recognized by the police as the guardian of the two girls, and being forced to listen to a bunch of lectures that had nothing to do with him, lost his way and was very depressed. He wanted to rest for a while."

"Well, relax, from the perspective of good things, this time is indeed not a loss at all. We have indeed learned a lot of valid information and some questions before it have been answered~"

Indeed, after seeing the marvelous scene of ordinary citizens fighting against gangsters in front of St. Mary's Cathedral, and knowing the existence of this magical figure, Norton I, and looking at the previous questions, it is not difficult to find:

Today is January 1th local time. In other words, it happened to be the day when Emperor Norton passed away, so people gathered in front of the church where he fell.

In this way, the anomalous behavior of the populace and the gang was explained.As for the reason for the increase in police force, it is even more obvious-this is the time when the emperor's anniversary is approaching. If a child is kidnapped at this time, it will be a slap in the face of the entire San Francisco police group!

Although Norton has passed away for more than 100 years, at least in San Francisco, his influence may not decrease but increase. Following his will, there are these overly diligent policemen that everyone has seen.

"...Emperor Norton."

It was also the first time for Raleigh to hear his story. Before that, he had only seen a little in some science popularization, but never really understood it.Such a character is not easy to evaluate, but it does have a dreamlike feeling. When reading his stories, it is like watching some impossible fantasy. It is no wonder that there is such a title as "Fairy Tale Emperor".

However, what Raleigh was thinking at this time was whether this legendary "emperor"...was also within the scope of consideration of those DIO remnants?

All in all, although it was only in the game, the few people who were crammed into the police station for the first time were somewhat at a loss, subconsciously not looking around and touching, at this moment, a squatting in the gap under the door The golden worm is carefully moving its position to avoid being discovered.

This is not the first time he has gone through the process. Adan, who is familiar with everything, naturally knows that he can still exercise Miranda rights. In the absence of clear criminal charges, the prison and the police can detain up to 48 people without a direct conviction. Hour.

"I want to see my lawyer." After saying this, Adan cautiously recalled whether he had seen any dangerous things recently, and after confirming that everything was fine, he put everything on the table. In the back of his head, waiting for his companion to bail himself out.

"Although the situation is worse than expected, at least we have escaped this..."

Adan impatiently thought in his mind:

"But in order to avoid being troubled by those people, I still have to act a little bit."

With this in mind, he pretended to be honest, and released a double to eavesdrop. He watched the whole process of the conversation and learned about Norton.

"Actually... has there ever been such a person?"

Not a native of San Francisco, Adan, who has not been here for a long time, has not learned about the city history and special landscape of this place before, and naturally he has never heard of this person. Besides, according to his personality and values , If there is no real evidence, I would not believe that there is a possibility of such a thing happening, right?

'Wait, there is no fief and orthodoxy... Thinking about it carefully, it seems that there is not even a commemorative statue, right?This guy might...'

Hey, compared to a guy like Hoerhos who only has a substitute name that fits, this fairy-tale emperor who is probably unique in the history of the world... Maybe it is more suitable?

'This discovery is too important, we must find a way to inform other talents

Elements like angels are really hard to find, and they can't make up the numbers with too casual things. Finally, they found a more relevant stand-in messenger. Why...

"Uh!"

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps, and Adan, who observed the outside world with the help of his "lover" stand-in, saw Jotaro in a new suit walking slowly behind the police, so frightened that he quickly put the stand-in away, Turn your head away from the outside.

Damn, it came too fast, how could...

Watching Jotaro pass by, Adan didn't dare to show his face easily for a while, he knew that he had to avoid such a disaster first, although it felt that someone like Jotaro was unlikely to beat him in the police station, but this Who dares to bet on such a thing?

-------

PS: It’s summer again, and the number of mosquitoes in the house has soared again. Yesterday, there was a very strange and small probability problem. Flag got up early in the morning and his fingers were swollen. ...

I am almost sleepy when I write this flag, but it can be regarded as a barely updated...

It seems that the promised Jiageng and Bugeng will at least wait until the swelling of the hand subsides, and I would like to express my apology again.

By the way, if you are interested in the story of Emperor Norton, you can check out the video of "Little John Khan" for details. It is from there that I learned about such a legendary figure, so I decided on the script for this time.

Well, the flag is going to rest for a while.

Chapter 556

"Hey, everyone inside, you can go now!"

The police who came with Jotaro opened the door of the detention room, and shouted to the people inside with a flat square box.Since this room is equipped with single-sided reflective glass, the players did not see Aqiang who came to fish for people until the door was opened.

It is not an unexpected result. During the "Ebony Wood Demon" battle, an unlucky hotel attendant was hacked by the demon Dibo; To be alone in the house with a dead body under the condition of the dead is definitely a murderer.

In this way, the second child, Joe, was able to bail him out on the same day, and the matter involved by everyone was not worth mentioning at all.

"I didn't expect you to be together. It seems that it doesn't matter at all."

The police officer murmured a few words in a low voice, then looked at the few who did not commit any serious crimes, and preached:

"Be more careful in the future, abide by the laws and don't cause trouble for others. I don't know what you are here to do in the city. Anyway, at least these days, even the gangsters are usually honest for a few days, and you have to be safe. Tap Ha!"

Probably seeing that everyone's actions had something to do with those gang members, the police officer reminded them like this, and told them to call the police if anything happened, and they would deal with it.

It seems that His Majesty's face is still quite big, and those who make trouble at this time of the year have to face the risk of being collectively rejected by the citizens of San Francisco.

"Don't drive if you're underage! Fighting on the street is not allowed. Even if you get involved in a fight, don't dismantle public property as a weapon. You can't use the chase as an excuse to sneak into other people's houses!"

Then, he lectured to everyone individually. Seeing him like this, Raleigh suddenly wondered whether this police officer would be like this on weekdays after the Norton Day passed.

"Ah, speaking of that last one, the kind old woman in that house forgave you. She said it must be poor people who couldn't eat to come to her house and take only one slice of pizza, so she's going to take the rest I’ll give you all the pizza too, take it~”

The police officer handed out the things in his hands, and everyone realized that there was only a pizza in the box.

Mr. Huomatou accepted the gift from the kind man in embarrassment, and he was in a complicated mood for a while-he seemed to be regarded as some kind of homeless man?

"Okay, you guys go with this gentleman, remember it in the future~!"

The short episode ended here, and everyone finally reunited with Jotaro, and the medical operators brought by Raleigh returned to the team again.

"The problem with the violation has been resolved, don't worry. Let's go."

Jotaro remained calm, pointing outside to signal for everyone to leave first.

"Just leave like this? The guy we chased before should be locked up in this police station now, right?"

Tomato felt a little pity, it would be too wasteful to just let Adan, who was right in front of him, not ask about the clues he had finally found...
