That day, Harley called him to go to the manor to discuss the matter of God's spokesperson, and he agreed on the spot.
He only asked Barbara to do the pastor's work, and he said he would go back and discuss it with his family. It wasn't until the next morning that he took Barbara and Xiao Lai to see Harley.
After becoming Harley's spokesperson for exorcism, Gordon immediately followed up on the case of "encountering the foursome at the gate of Xanadu".
Although the other three people also committed evil and caused deaths and were haunted by resentful spirits, those resentful spirits themselves were not good things.
An Upper East Side celebrity was playing a sadistic game in a club and accidentally strangled his companion to death. The strangled guy came to haunt him.
Another Internet company executive was given a video of him doing male stunts in college. He arranged for the other person to go to the outskirts of the beach to kill him and kill him. The resentment of the blackmailer haunted him.
There is also a tycoon who did nothing wrong but was simply unlucky. He purchased a newly unearthed antique and was haunted by the spirit of a tomb robber on it. He did not know that the supernatural events came from the antique and thought he had been repaid for his previous evil deeds.
The "Exorcist Advocate" doesn't care about these bad things. Only Superintendent Gordon records the information and prepares to arrange for capable police officers to handle it.
Only the newspaper tycoon Jerry Norton, who really did some unscrupulous evil and deserved retribution, was the one Gordon secretly used "God's Exorcism" on him, saving him and the upright and kind reporter.
But the exorcism was done quietly, and Gordon didn't tell anyone.
Even the person involved, Jerry Norton, didn't know how he died.
Bateman discovered the truth just two days later, which shocked Gordon.
Did he reveal something?
"Three days ago you told me that Jerry Norton killed someone, but in a sophisticated way and left no evidence. You could not arrest him by relying on normal judicial procedures.
Now he is dead, suspected to have died from a supernatural incident.
Later, I consulted an exorcism expert and it was confirmed that he died at the hands of evil spirits.
At that time I didn’t know whether his death was an accident or man-made, and now I hear you say that Barbara became Harley Quinn’s priest.”
Bateman said in a complicated tone, "Gordon, this is not the real you. You have adhered to the bottom line of the law for decades, and your will is firm and never wavered."
"I looked for you! I couldn't arrest him, so I looked for you, but you couldn't do anything. You beat him until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and he was admitted to the ICU, but he still refused to plead guilty." Gordon was excited.
road.
Bateman was also very excited, "I will continue to keep an eye on him until evidence of his crime is found.
We have done this before, and the effect was very good. Almost everyone who was targeted by us ended up in Black Gate Prison, but now you are the first to break the rules!"
Gordon nodded and sighed: "Yes, even if no evidence can be found at the time, once they are targeted by you and me, 99% of them will go to Black Gate Prison.
The question is, why did they go to jail? Are they responsible for past cases?
No, they were all arrested by us after they were preparing for a new crime or after completing a new crime.
In court, they will not plead guilty to one more crime to extend their sentence."
"They finally subdued the law, the evil was stopped, and the dignity of the law was upheld. What dissatisfaction do you have? At that time, you were very happy." Bateman said solemnly.
Gordon said: "People's desires are constantly improving. I was happy at that time because without you before, they would never escape the sanction of the law.
Now we may have upheld the dignity of the law to a certain extent, but what about the previous victims?
The saying that death is like a lamp going out is bullshit!
After a person dies, the soul is still there, and there is still perception and a future.
If there is no perception or emotion, the soul of a good person will not degenerate into an evil spirit.
If they knew that their murderer would never be held legally responsible for the crime of murdering them, would they feel that the law has dignity?"
"Gordon, we need a bottom line." Bateman said softly: "We are all human beings. Even if we are not gods, we will make mistakes. We may not make fewer mistakes than mortals."
Sighing, he continued: "Setting a bottom line is not to protect the criminal's right to life, nor is it entirely to maintain the dignity of the law.
Setting bottom lines is mainly to protect ourselves.
Because we are mortals, our emotions and thoughts will be affected by our environment.
If we kill, we are destined to lose ourselves in the killing, lose the best things in human nature, and eventually become the devils and scum that we once hated.
Precisely because we don’t want to change ourselves from law enforcers to violators, from dragon slaying warriors to evil dragons, we set a line for ourselves.
That line is like a guardrail on the edge of a cliff, protecting us from falling."
Batman's no-kill rule is what he requires of himself.
If he really couldn't stand killing, he wouldn't have become teammates with Wonder Woman who kills without blinking, Aquaman who kills without blinking, and Green Lantern.
Among the seven giants of the Zhenglian Alliance, only he and Superman insisted on not killing people. The others didn't care before, but they began to restrain themselves after meeting these two infectious bosses.
Dachao doesn't kill people because he has the ability to maintain moral integrity.
Just like a white-collar woman will keep her clothes spotless, but a peasant woman, even if she loves beauty and cleanliness more than a white-collar worker, will tolerate grass clippings and dirt on her clothes as a matter of course.
Bateman, who desperately tries to find out the secrets of his teammates and treats them as thieves, is a far-fetched moral freak.
He doesn't kill because he knows that for people who often experience life and death, the difference between killing is only 0 and 1, and 1 and 9999 are just numbers that change over time.
"I didn't break the bottom line." Gordon said.
"You killed someone and you still haven't broken the bottom line?" Bateman was a little angry, "We are different from Harley Quinn.
She kills people, and I harbor it in my heart, but I won't criticize her morally or legally.
Because she is not a law enforcer, nor does she want to be one.
But we are!
What qualifications do law enforcers who break the law have to enforce the law?
You must understand such a simple truth, because you said the same thing to me first!"
"I didn't break the bottom line." Gordon still insisted, "I just slightly adjusted the bottom line.
As Gotham Police Constable, I will strictly abide by the law.
I will only use exorcism in areas outside the law.
For example, when faced with the soul of the dead turning into an evil spirit."
"It's the same murder case, the same innocent victim, why should there be any difference between those who turned into evil spirits and those who didn't?" Bateman said solemnly.
Gordon said firmly: "Of course there is a difference, evil spirits are going to hell!
Do you know what he will experience in hell?
Not only did a good man die an unjust and humiliating death while he was still alive, but the law failed to protect his life and rights. His soul could not rest in peace after death, and he degenerated into an evil spirit with a miserable ending. How unfair is this?
The deceased turned into an evil spirit to seek revenge on those who murdered him. It was given to him by God. He was the last chance to seek justice for himself, and it was also his last cry to risk everything he had left.
The law enforcers should not turn a blind eye, and the exorcists should not use the reason that 'the living are more important than the dead' to muffle its last cry for 'justice' and cut off its last chance."
"This is the theory of 'God exorcises magic', and you were influenced by it." Bateman said in a complicated tone.
"She convinced me with facts. You saw the ending of Paul and Tess with your own eyes. This time" Gordon's eyes became excited and his voice trembled slightly: "The victim this time is reporter Durant. Can you
Did you think of it?
I personally sent him to the bottom of heaven!
If it were any other exorcist, the Durant reporter would have only one ending: as an evil spirit, rolling back to hell with resentment.
I have lived my whole life and solved countless cases over the decades, but I have never felt as accomplished as I did this time.
This time I truly and completely saved someone.
This time I was extremely confident that I was doing the right thing.
It's not what Halle said, nor was she tempted by her benefits. My personal experience has strengthened my belief that Halle is right. Her God exorcism is not for profit or fame, but for the final justice to be carried out.
, is the true method of salvation!”
By the end of the story, Gordon's face was rosy, his eyes were shining, and his spirit was extremely high, as if a traveler who had been lost for many years had finally found the right way home.
Seeing Gordon like this and hearing his words, Bateman sighed deeply and had nothing to say.
Moreover, Gordon, a novice exorcist, was able to send evil spirits to the lower heaven. Although it is not as shocking as Paul's direct sanctification, this ironclad fact also proves that Gordon's actions are righteous.
After sighing, Bateman slowly retreated into the shadows.
Old Gordon hesitated for a moment, and before the shadow disappeared completely, he asked, "Can we still be partners?"
"Only Inspector Gordon."
After a while, Bateman's deep voice came from afar.
Gordon smiled
One month after the Doomsday incident, mid-June.
Metropolis, the public area of the Botanical Garden of the Lex Group, where the "Metropolitan Reconstruction Charity Gala" is being held.
In the reinforced concrete metropolis, in the center of the busiest street, this place is as beautiful as another world.
You can see blooming flowers and scattered green trees everywhere, and you will encounter a crooked creek with gurgling water after a few steps.
Although we know that it is artificially created, the clear flowing water, green aquatic plants and swarms of small fish inside make people who see it pleasing to the eyes, and their impetuous hearts are also washed away with coolness and comfort.
Dozens of azure round tables are regularly dotted on the open lawn in the forest, around which sit several gentlemen in suits and leather shoes or beautiful ladies with fragrant hair.
From time to time, waiters in white shirts and red bow ties would walk among the guests, serving them wine or food.
The soft music suddenly stopped. Lex Luthor, the host here, walked up to the podium in high spirits, tapped the microphone a few times, and said passionately: "Gentlemen and ladies, first of all, I want to report two pieces of good news to you.
First, in the past month, the ‘Metropolitan Reconstruction Charitable Fund’ has received a total of 25.8 billion in charitable donations!”
The number of "papapapa" was so astonishing that the venue burst into neat applause, and some guests covered their mouths and shouted softly because they were so surprised.
Luther pressed down his right hand to ask the guests to calm down, and then said emotionally: "This charity fund was initiated by me and has strong support from my good friend Harley.
I spent $500 million to rebuild the metropolis, and she spent the same amount.
I have to admit that her appeal is stronger than mine. Later, Mr. Bruce Wayne and Mr. Oliver Queen also donated US$500 million, and even our alien friends sent us blessings.
After Mr. Saruman, the famous name of the universe, published the news of the Day of Destruction in "Galaxy Monthly", ten civilizations in the galaxy donated materials and cash worth a total of US$175 to us.
Thank you Harry, thank you Mr. Saruman, thank you friends in the universe!"
He took the lead in applauding, and the audience below also applauded to Harley and the Celebrities of the Universe who were sitting in the front row.
"Half of the above funds have been directly distributed to affected families and individuals, and the rest will be gradually invested in neighborhood reconstruction.
In fact, the results are obvious and can be seen by everyone. Many new buildings are going up.
I dare say that within four months, the scars left by Doomsday on Metropolis will be completely healed."
"Bah bang bang!" The crowd gave another round of warm applause.
"Taking the opportunity of this charity gala, I would like to introduce to you a 'familiar yet unfamiliar' friend. He will be the second good news tonight!" Luther suddenly stretched his hand to the sky, "
