Chapter 16 The Power of the Gods
A strange interrogation lasted for a full two hours. The first hour was used to calm Anatole's emotions, and the second hour was used to explain to him what happened in Gotham yesterday.
Unfortunately, Anatole could not provide any useful information, because his memory only stopped at the time of the explosion in the Imperial Theater.
Anatoly held his head and said: "I only remember that my men fell one by one, but I didn't even know who the enemy was."
Sui Feng took the opportunity to say to the two of them: "There will be some memory loss when the soul is possessed, but if the most critical part is forgotten so accurately, someone must have tampered with it."
"Can it be restored?" James Gordon asked quickly.
Sui Feng shook his head and said: "I'm afraid it will be difficult. Even if it is possible, there is not enough time. If we don't give a result today, Gotham will be over."
James Gordon frowned. Unexpectedly, Anatole was resurrected and still could not solve the problem.
At this time, Sui Feng asked: "Even if we find out who the murderer is, what's the point?"
James Gordon explained: "Finding the murderer will give Falcone an explanation. As long as he no longer pursues the case, this war will not be fought."
Sui Feng asked again: "What if it was really Maroni who did it? If you tell Falcone the truth, won't you still start a fight?"
James Gordon firmly said: "If the real murderer is Maroney, I will do my best to bring him to justice. But I am very sure that he is not the murderer, and doing so will not do him any good."
Sui Feng smiled and said: "In this case, Anatole can still help you solve the problem."
"But he has no idea who the murderer is!"
"It doesn't matter. There aren't many people who can cut soul memories. I guess even if there were in Gotham, they wouldn't kill people for Maroni. As long as you can prove this, Falcone has no reason to go to war with Maroni.
"
Sui Feng's words reminded James Gordon that it really didn't matter who the murderer was, as long as it wasn't Maroni.
"But how can they believe it?"
James Gordon felt very embarrassed.
Even he didn't want to believe in soul possession. Even if he saw it with his own eyes, he couldn't accept it. Even if he brought the possessed Anatole to see Falcone, he would probably not believe it and would just shoot him.
He collapsed.
Sui Feng patted James Gordon on the shoulder, and then said: "Don't worry, I will go with you. At worst, I will perform for them again."
James Gordon said with great gratitude: "Thank you, thank you so much, I will keep you safe, I promise!"
Gang bosses like Falcone and Maroni, who are murderous and unblinking, can scare people to death just by their names. If Sui Feng goes to demonstrate this method to them, he will probably be regarded as a liar and be shot in the head.
In James Gordon's view, Sui Feng risked his life to help him, and he also wanted to use his life to ensure Sui Feng's safety.
Sui Feng was very happy. Look, Gordon had to thank him.
Anatole, who was handcuffed next to him, saw that the two had reached an agreement and said anxiously: "Sir... how much time do I have?"
Sui Feng said: "Generally speaking, if the person is possessed for more than one day, there will be side effects."
"Can't it be extended? It doesn't matter how much money you want!"
Anatole said in an almost pleading tone that the feeling before was too bad. There was no heaven or hell in that world, only endless darkness and loneliness, or maybe this was the real hell.
Anatole did not want to go to hell, he would rather die.
"Of course it's possible to extend the time, but Harvey's body can't hold it."
Only then did James Gordon react and asked quickly: "Is Harvey okay?"
Although the two often quarreled, after getting along, Gordon felt that Harvey was worthy of the title of partner, and he really didn't want anything to happen to Harvey.
"His soul has been suppressed by me, and he feels almost dead. But don't worry, if it is solved within one day, he will have headaches and insomnia for at most two or three days, and there will be no serious sequelae.
"Of course, I don't mind giving poor Anatole a few more days to make up for his regrets, but by then Harvey may have permanent migraines and neurasthenia."
Hearing the meaning of Sui Feng's words, James Gordon just wanted to point at Harvey's nose and ask: "Why did you mess with him?"
But at this point, James Gordon had no choice but to intercede for Harvey.
"I apologize to you on Harvey's behalf. After today's events are over, please let Harvey come back."
After hearing this, Anatole said angrily: "You are trying to kill me! James Gordon! You are trying to kill someone, and I will never let you go even if I am a ghost!"
James Gordon said helplessly: "You are dead! Now I just want to help you find the murderer."
"Fart, I'm living well now. Although my body is old and weak, it's better than nothing!"
Although Harvey is old and in poor health, many times worse than the original version, Anatole has no choice now. As long as he can live, he can accept it even if he is in the body of an eighty-year-old man.
Anatole looked at Sui Feng with pleading eyes, hoping that Sui Feng could give him a chance to live.
But Sui Feng said very seriously: "Anatole, the price of a true resurrection is too high, and you can't afford it. What you can do now is to stop this meaningless war."
“fuck you!”
Anatole directly cursed,
Hearing this, he collapsed immediately, started cursing everything crazily, and struggled violently.
His hands were bruised and bruised by the handcuffs, but Anatole seemed to have no feeling at all. The fear of death drove him into madness.
James Gordon could only let him vent because he didn't know how to comfort him.
Few people can be calm in the face of death.
Finally, Anatole was tired and could only cover his face and cry softly.
Sui Feng watched with great interest, without sympathy, only finding it interesting.
Anatoly is a scumbag who deserves to go to hell. When he was alive, he was not afraid of death. He could rush to the front in a hail of bullets, otherwise he would not be able to get the management rights of the Imperial Theater.
But when he knew the feeling after death, this courage disappeared. As long as Sui Feng agrees to let him live now, I am afraid Anatole will do anything and will become his most loyal dog.
However, Anatole is not worth it.
This man has no value except for being reckless and cruel. Now he has lost his courage because of fear of death. It can be said that he is useless.
Even if Sui Feng really planned to resurrect a group of subordinates, wastes like Anatoly would not be able to do so.
Sui Feng stroked the soul disc in his pocket. White Snake's ability was more terrifying than imagined.
The ability to extract souls and put souls in, this ability to play with life and death is simply the power of the gods.
