On a new day, the citizens of Barton witnessed a 'miracle' – the smell of milk in the air of Barton. Parallel to the miracle is a vote that will determine the city's leaders for the next four years.

Different races, different families, the citizens of Barton watched the morning news under the milky wrap: the polling session lasted for three days, and there were five polling stations throughout the city of Barton, two in each of the west and north districts, and one in the south district. What's more special is that in this vote, citizens who have the right to vote can also receive a travel subsidy when they go to the polling place, which is not much, just a little more, that is, a fare, and a Barton citizen badge, which is used for commemorative purposes, about a few cents.

It's actually quite good, no regime has ever rewarded or compensated citizens for exercising their power, and I don't know if this is the idea that the neurosis in the city government came up with...... Well, the effect, there is-

"Oh~Look at that badge~It's so cute~I want one~" Louise shook the cup in her hand.

Zach raised an eyebrow, "I want one too~" and shook his glass, "Why don't we take James's free ride out and vote." ”

"Okay~" Louise looked down and listened for a while, and pushed Zach, "James is done eating, let's go down." ”

Zach nodded and followed.

The people who came out of the restaurant, there were James, there were Benjamin and Murphy.

Zach told James about his willingness to hitchhike to the polls, but James didn't say anything and wasn't prepared to get involved in the weird seating assignments — Benjamin and Murphy were ready to vote too...... It was Benjamin who was going to go, and Murphy, who had been deliberately hung by Benjamin for an afternoon yesterday, decided to obey Benjamin's trust guidelines and followed.

After an exchange of glances, Murphy was dropped in the passenger seat, with Benjamin, Louise and Zach in the back seat.

Before James drove Grande, Alice asked Zach which polling place he was going to. Zach was going to answer the nearest polling place set up at the Southern District Police Station. But considering that he didn't want to give James a chance to be a demon at the Southern District Police Department, he replied, "North District City Hall." ”

"Oh, Kyle can vote, but we'll probably go to the nearest Back Bay Community College to vote. ”

It's kind of informed.

Zach didn't respond again and motioned for James to drive.

The ride was quiet due to Murphy's presence, nothing to talk about.

However, after entering the North End, when passing by Mary's Church, Zach saw that the clergy of Mary's Church, with the cooperation of the staff in the uniforms of Quin and the Smith Group, led a group of homeless people in the direction of the city hall.

Zach had to urge James to hurry up, and Zach didn't want to be delayed by this wave of people.

The city hall and the North District Police Department are not far away, and Zach thought that James who had delivered the person would go straight to work, but he didn't expect James to go with them after grabbing a parking space.

The main entrance to the city hall was out of sight, obscured by huge banners and side-by-side desks, and the municipal plaza in front of the building was emptied to accommodate the citizens who came to vote.

Zack and his party moved forward in the thick line of humans, not slowly. It feels like the whole process won't take long~

"This is my first vote. James said something surprising.

"You're lying. Zach didn't taunt or anything, seriously questioned.

"I didn't, I went to school in the military academy when I can remember, and let me join the army. I never chose anything, I just got the order, and then it was executed. ”

Well, so James voted, and all he said was, well, some special circumstance — the kind of rights that citizens have been diluted by other things, that he can't even perceive.

Louise is very caring, "It's also my first time~" caters to James's experience.

James glanced at Louise, "What's your reason, are you in the military academy?" "It's a joke~

"Hehe, no, I make money on the street to support myself~" We ...... Let's just take this as a joke, after all, it feels like Louise is already in Louise's past life.

People who shouldn't have been here to cater to this conversation also spoke out, "I never voted." "Murphy.

No one cares. So she said to herself, "But I controlled the vote, remember, husband, we rigged the election together." ”

James stared at Zach. Zach was speechless, "Are you serious, James, you're going to find fault with me because of the election hundreds of years ago?"

James retracted his gaze and pushed the passerby in front of him, "Keep up, go ahead." ”

The team moved on.

Benjamin spoke, "Don't you think there's too many people." "Frowning," than the vote four years ago. ”

"Of course. Zach shrugged, "There's a lot of people in Barton." ”

Yes, it is undeniable that many passers-by died in Barton during the year, but many more passers-by came to Barton from all over the world. In this team, there were Indians that Zach and Benjamin hadn't met, people with republican faces, and guys who spoke dialects they didn't know.

"Did you give any souvenirs to the vote four years ago?" "Uh, Louise's only concern.

"No, I don't. Zach shook his head, "It seems like there's a vote certificate somewhere in my office......" Zach was a memory face.

"That's probably not the case. Louise smiled and shrugged, "Remember, when Grande was renovating, the old things were gone." ”

"It's a pity. Zach sighed casually. Because, there's nothing to be sorry about, right?

The team seems to have come to an end. James was in front, registered his ID as required to represent him as a citizen of Barton, and received an envelope from the civil servant, "Thank you for coming, please go to the right, follow the signs to the filling area, and ......"

Nervous or something else, James waited until Zack and they all got the envelope, and then went to the filling area under Zack's wordless leadership.

There was no longer a queue, and the flow of people was loose, each looking for tables and chairs to complete the selection of voting options.

Murphy didn't get the envelope, so we don't have to guess if Murphy has the status of a settled citizen of Barton, after all, no one knows what the hidden Assammet clan existence system is in her mouth, we just need to know that she won't be stupid enough to show her 'legitimate' identity in front of James.

Murphy chose to sit on the sidelines of Benjamin's filling, simply narrating, "There are only three options for people." Then he listened to the other voters say to themselves, "No one knows the other two except the first and current mayor, Anthony." He also glanced at James, "Some people say that if the detective named Lance is still a candidate, it still feels a little chosen." Then he looked at Zach, "Some people say if Aethra is still a candidate......"

Uh, no matter what Murphy says, who cares about her!

It may not seem like a good way to describe it, but after filling out the ballot, you can take turns going in and out of a long, closed room that looks like a public toilet, and you can complete the last step and complete the vote.

Before completing the vote, James looked at the badge attached to the envelope that was attached to the ballot.

Others are doing the same thing. Benjamin tossed the badge in his hand and stuffed it in his pocket. Louise pinched the badge and Zach took it with each other, and asked, "How many days can I wear it~"

"Let's take a few days with it~"

*！

This curses in the heart for two reasons. One, Louise and Zach. Two, someone exploded.

After the radiated blood clot only completed half of the parabola, the world changed.

Murphy stood beside Benjamin, "There are only three options. Then he turned his head to listen to the people around him, and then looked at James, "Some said that if that detective named Lance ......" Murphy shut up, his eyes unfocused, and opened his mouth again, "What happened." ”

"Hey. Zach pouted, "Don't panic, we've all eaten today, let's just stay where we are and wait for Walter to come and save us." ”
