135. Jero’s answer

A multiverse frozen in time

In the Lux Piano Bar in Los Angeles, Earth, Jero felt his brain shake as he listened to Lucifer's question word for word.

This question is just like sending a proposition! Jero was shocked, and every brain cell started to work, thinking about the answer to this question.

Lucifer actually has little to do with the devil in the Bible who directly fights with God, but according to what Jero knows, Lucifer likes the description in the Bible of being a bully.

Very rebellious... Thinking of this, Jero's thoughts suddenly became clear.

Yes, no matter what Lucifer is doing, he is trying to resist his supreme 'father'.

As far as Jero knows, that supreme being 'loves' the DC universe very much.

Thinking of this, Jero had an answer in his mind, so he took courage and said to Lucifer, "Dear Mr. Lucifer, I think I have the answer."

"Oh? Really? Then tell me, there will be rewards for answering well." Lucifer looked at Jero with a cynical look.

"Okay, then I've said it." Jero bit hard with two rows of teeth, and then he used all his courage to tell Lucifer what he thought.

"As far as I know, your father knows everything you do, so when you deliberately resist Him, you can't really resist. If that's the case, then why don't you do what He knows and does?

?Furthermore, I know that your father loves this 'universe' very much. What if...you love everything in this universe more than him?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, all the expressions on Lucifer's face disappeared instantly, and Jero's heart also rose to his throat.

‘Dong dong dong dong’ Jello seemed to hear his own heartbeat. The atmosphere in front of the bar was extremely stagnant, and because time was stopped, Jello had no way of knowing how much time had passed, which made him feel extremely tormented.

As if a century had passed, Lucifer suddenly stared at Jero, his lips moved up and down, and he said slowly:

"Does it prove that I love all of this more than He does? You are such a clever little guy. Although when I asked you this question and learned the answer from You, it was all within His expectation, but I want to

Admit it, I like this answer very much, little guy, nothing more than that."

Lucifer's words were ambiguous, and Jero couldn't tell what he was thinking, so he just continued to wait for Lucifer to finish what he said.

"Indeed, I really want to resist Him, but nothing I do can escape Him. I am very satisfied with the idea you mentioned." After Lucifer finished speaking, Jero felt that he was still alive.

Reaching out and patting Jello on the shoulder, Lucifer smiled and said to Jello, "I'm very satisfied with your answer, little guy, so you deserve to be rewarded."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lucifer took out a ball of light from his suit pocket and motioned for Jero to catch the ball of light.

Stretching out his hands to take the ball of light, Jero felt as if all the musical instruments he knew appeared in his mind. Among the very few musical instruments, a small wind instrument gradually became clear.

Soon after, the ball of light in Jero's hand slowly turned into a harmonica. The body of the instrument was made of metal and solid wood and looked a bit ancient.

"Harmonica? With your musical knowledge, can you still present this kind of instrument?" Lucifer looked at Jero with deep meaning.

Glancing at the harmonica in his hand, Jero turned his attention back to Lucifer and asked, "This is it?"

Supporting his head with the back of his right hand, Lucifer smiled and said, "It can be regarded as a small gift from the Lord of Hell. However, this thing will not tell other people that you are Lucifer, the Lord of Hell. The specific function needs to be studied by yourself.

"

"..." Jero put away the harmonica and planned to go back and learn two pieces of music to see if he could find out some secrets.

Seeing that Jello was about to leave, Lucifer pushed the glass of martini that Jello had just drunk in front of Jello, and then said, "This glass of wine is yours. Next, I will restore the flow of time, and you

How much you can drink before dawn depends on you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lucifer snapped his fingers, and with a 'pop' sound, time in the multiverse resumed its flow.

"Thank you for your hospitality." Lucifer replied, and Jero began to drink the martini bit by bit.

The scorching energy continued to pour into Jero's body, and every sip was a great test. Jello could not finish the martini that the Lord of Hell invited him to drink.

Until daybreak, the sky outside Lux Piano Bar turned fish belly white, and Jero put the remaining one-fifth of the martini on the table and stopped touching it.

Jero stood up without any greed, and then bowed slightly to Lucifer. Jero, who had never been so full of energy, said to Lucifer: "Thank you for your hospitality, Mr. Lucifer."

"Go slowly on the road, and I won't see you off, little one."

Lucifer replied, and then with a wave of his hand, the scene changed back to what it was before, the door was opened, and rays of sunlight poured into the Lux Piano Bar.

Saying goodbye to Lucifer, Jero left the Lux Piano Bar.

After walking back to the hotel, Jero met Lina in the corridor.

Looking at Jie Luo who had not returned home all night but looked very energetic, Lina smiled slightly and said, "It seems that you had a great time at the Lux Piano Bar last night, Jie Luo."

"Well, I had a lot of fun." Jero replied.

"Like those little stars who were very frustrated before entering but became famous after coming out?" Lina asked again.

Hearing this, Jero paused and asked doubtfully, "Have you ever been to the Lux Piano Bar?"

"I just went to collect some rumors related to Lux." Lina held her left cheek with her white and tender palm and said to Jero:

"One more thing, the time for the competition in Gotham has been determined. According to the organizer's requirements, all contestants must arrive in Gotham before the day after tomorrow."

"In such a hurry? Many people can't react, whether it's vehicle maintenance or other things." Jero frowned and said.

"But Wayne Group added another 10 million bonus." Lina continued to support her face with her hands and said, "You know, in the eyes of some people, it is the biggest motivation."

Jero nodded and said, "I understand, then when will we set off?"

"Just in the afternoon, come a little early, I want to adjust Shadow Moon's status for you." Lina replied.

………………………………

Gotham City, which has not been sunny for a few days, remains as usual. Dark clouds seem to be pressing down at any time, and only streaks of silver lightning will flash through the dark clouds, bringing a ray of light.

'Rumble'

The rumble of thunder sounded, and soon, heavy rain poured down. In the blink of an eye, thunder and lightning and heavy rain were intertwined, composing a symphony from hell.

Looking at the heavy rain outside the window, Jero asked a question.

"Is it really possible to play tomorrow in this weather?"

"The organizer just replied to me." Lina drove a smart wheelchair to Jero and said helplessly, "According to Mr. Wayne's wishes, the competition time will not be changed."
