Chapter 37: Soul Masters Can't Be Messed With

The recently popular new play at the Imperial Theater was suddenly suspended for one day.

This incident made many people who came here a little unhappy, but when they saw the bodyguards wearing black suits and holding submachine guns at the door, most people understood that something big was going to happen here.

The Gotham natives must have deftly turned around and walked away as if nothing had happened, while the smarter ones began to ask what happened.

Hundreds of guests entered the Imperial Theater, all of them well-known figures in the underground forces.

There are arms dealers, drug lords, mercenaries, professional killers, black market doctors...most of Gotham's ruthless characters are here.

This combination is a bit strange.

What did Falcone want to do? He actually invited many people together that he wouldn't even deal with normally.

Even Falcone cannot offend so many people at the same time. Could it be said that the cake is divided again?

They all had their own thoughts when they came. They all knew that Gotham was in chaos recently, and they thought Falcone was going to announce some important news at this meeting, fearing that Gotham would enter a period of chaos again the next day.

All well-informed people are waiting for an earth-shattering news to be revealed, which will change the entire Gotham.

That's what they think.

Under the expectation of everyone, in just half an hour, the guests began to leave one after another.

What shocked all the onlookers was that everyone who left the Imperial Theater looked extremely ugly, and some even held their hands against the wall and retched after leaving the theater.

This situation quickly spread throughout Gotham, and everyone was curious and worried. They wanted to know what happened in the conference held by Falcone, which would make people who don't even care about life and death show such expressions.

But as a few days passed, most people remained silent about what they saw and heard in the theater, and only vague words were circulated.

"Terrible", "beyond imagination", "more terrifying than death", "that's not human at all"...

People in Gotham were confused when hearing such statements.

Although most of the news is vague, one message is very clear.

Gothamites, don't provoke the soul master, the consequences will be worse than going to hell.

The name that was originally only known to a few people was known to the entire Gotham after this day.

In addition, there is another big thing, Falcone is preparing to retire.

Although he did not say the word "retirement" personally, those who attended the conference clearly felt Falcone's intention to retire.

Also, seeing something so horrifying would shock a normal person's spirit.

And as the big news of Falcone's retirement broke, the whole Gotham began to be in chaos again.

The Gotham Police Department is the first to bear the brunt of such a major incident.

James Gordon had a sad face, and he knew very well that Gotham was going to be in chaos again.

It hasn't been long since he came to Gotham. Why is this city in chaos every day and more terrifying than the battlefield?

Suddenly, James Gordon was tapped on the shoulder: "Gordon, what are you thinking about? Is there any information on the bishop's case?"

James Gordon turned around and found that it was his partner Harvey.

The Bishop case was also a troublesome one. The cardinal of the Gotham church was handcuffed to a weather balloon and lifted directly into the stratosphere.

The murderer has not been found so far, and the church is constantly putting pressure on the police department.

Using balloons to kill people is a technique that has never been heard of before. Only Gotham can have such a creative way of killing people.

James Gordon sighed and said: "There are no clues. This Lord Bishop has done too many bad things. The people who want to kill him can fill the entire police station."

The bishop was repeatedly accused of child abuse but was acquitted each time.

In fact, James Gordon also knew in his heart that given the judicial environment in Gotham, even if the evidence was conclusive, it would lead to an acquittal.

However, weather balloons are not common. High-altitude balloons that can fly directly to the stratosphere are very valuable and cannot be obtained by ordinary people.

James Gordon could have followed this line of pursuit, but the problem is that now that Gotham is about to be turned upside down, who can care about this?

"Harvey, if Falcone really wants to retire, how can we have time to deal with the murder of the bishop? What's more, the body can't be found now."

When Harvey heard this, he was surprised and said: "Is this still the James Gordon I know? There is no body, so there is no need to check? Have you been replaced by a soul master?"

James Gordon is a little embarrassed. Although he is still a policeman with a just heart, compared with Falcone's retirement, the killing of a child molester bishop is really not that important.

James Gordon still hopes to protect more ordinary people in Gotham.

Harvey patted James Gordon hard on the shoulder, and then said: "Gordon, I advise you not to mess around. This time, our police must not be involved."

"Why? You want to back down again?"

Harvey shook his head and said: "You should know that the Congress and the police department are under the Falco cabinet. Why do you think he can control us?"

James Gordon said disdainfully: "Isn't it just money?"

Harvey said very seriously: "Of course not. Do you think you can make the entire police department surrender just by relying on money? Gordon, you are not the only one who has a sense of justice and passion. You have caught up with the good times."

"What do you mean?" James Gordon asked.

"I can't tell you the specifics, but our police department must not interfere in the fight for Falcone's successor. If you want to go, go by yourself. I guarantee that no one will help you, because whoever helps you will

You're dead. If you don't want to kill others, I advise you to give up."

Harvey's warning surprised James Gordon. He had never seen Harvey so serious before, as if he would pull out a gun and shoot him in the head at any time.

James Gordon did not quarrel with Harvey, but he had made up his mind that if this chaos really affected ordinary people, he would do everything possible to solve it, even at the expense of himself.

Harvey obviously also knew James Gordon very well, and finally reminded: "Gordon, you are a good man, so rare in Gotham. To be honest, I have begun to like you. I don't want you to die, but if you insist

If you want to take risks, I suggest you go find that soul master. Aren't you friends with him?"

Soul Master, this name made James Gordon frown.

He and Sui Feng were friends, but recently, he felt more and more that Sui Feng was hiding something from him.

This time Falcone retired, and Sui Feng also played a very important role.

Obviously, this young man is not as simple as James Gordon thought.

If possible, James Gordon doesn't want to ask Sui Feng for help. It will involve too many obstacles and will encounter greater resistance when executing justice.
