The sea breeze in Los Angeles is still very gentle, and even the sound of the wind carries the rhythm of jazz, but the sun is not bright today, and the dark clouds are very low, as if it will rain at any time.
This is not a good weather for traveling, but it is particularly suitable for saying goodbye to the deceased. On a green grassland, a funeral is being held.
There were only a few people standing in the center of the venue, but there were many people around. They all held flowers in their hands and whispered a name, and some of them were still singing.
Schiller, who was wearing a black suit, lowered his head, and Lucifer beside him heard Schiller whisper:
"Dear Lord, you chose Delilah to be the servant of your Son, to practice charity with your singing voice and to preach the gospel with your loving voice in the world..."
“Having called her back to you, grant that she may share your eternal feast with all the saints in heaven, for our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, is one God with you and the Holy Spirit.
…”
Lucifer said disdainfully: "You pray quite seriously? A devout Christian, huh?"
Schiller ignored him completely, crossed himself on his chest very piously, and said: "Eternal Father, Amen."
After praying, Schiller looked sideways at Lucifer, and then Lucifer heard him continue:
"Almighty and merciful God, your most beloved son created by your own hands, the first light that followed after you created the world, Lucifer Morning Star, the first angel in the world, drank until four in the morning last night, and
The quality of the wine was extremely poor. I was shocked by his lack of knowledge and skills. He didn’t even know who Hegel was..."
Lucifer hurriedly reached out and covered Schiller's mouth. He looked around, then lowered his voice and said, "What are you talking about? How could I not even know who Hegel is? I have a doctorate in philosophy."
!”
"Really?... Merciful Heavenly Father, eternal God, after your son got a doctorate in philosophy, he only opened bars on the West Coast..."
Lucifer quickly reached out and covered Schiller's mouth. He said: "Damn it, you are my pope. Can you stop thinking about complaining every day? Is there anyone like you who can be the pope?"
Schiller snorted coldly and said: "I became the Pope in order to resign. If you don't let me resign, won't you allow me to call the big boss and complain?"
"I am your boss!" Lucifer emphasized.
"But he is your father." Schiller said expressionlessly.
"He's not my dad!"
"Then he is your mother?"
Lucifer's fist was already raised, but he waved his hand in mid-air and lowered his fist again.
Schiller just looked forward. At this time, Delilah's partner was telling him how good a singer she was. When the body was bid farewell, Schiller finished placing the flowers and turned around to see the road he was about to go forward.
Xifa looked sad.
"I thought you were not sad." On the way away, Schiller said to Lucifer: "Since you are very reluctant to let go, why don't you just resurrect him?"
Lucifer paused for a moment, and then said: "I went to hell..."
"Then what?"
"I didn't find her."
Schiller raised his eyebrows, Lucifer lowered his head and walked forward, saying as he walked: "Delilah did not go to hell. Later, I found her in heaven."
"She went to heaven?"
"It's unbelievable, isn't it? She used to be a bartender, and she also took drugs and maybe sold drugs, but she can still go to heaven." Lucifer's Adam's apple moved, and she said: "You know why.
?"
Schiller didn't speak, just looked at him, and Lucifer replied mindlessly: "After I found her in heaven, she told me everything."
"After Delilah left the bar, those people came to find her. They were the same people I told you before who forced her to sell drugs."
"They have been forcing Delilah to sell drugs to my bar. They hope that Delilah can convince me to expand me into a customer source, but Delilah knows that I hate those things, so she keeps
Rejecting."
"Before coming to my bar, they gave Delilah an ultimatum. If she didn't cooperate, they would kill her." Lucifer pursed his lips and said, "Yes, she knows...she knows he
If you leave the bar, you might die."
"But she didn't tell me, and just after she left the bar, the group blocked her at the next intersection and gave her one last chance. They asked Delilah to go back to the bar and beg me to take the drugs."
Lucifer's hand hung in the air and said: "She refused again. She refused to go back and just wanted to leave."
"At that time, she discovered that someone was targeting her. As long as she returned to the bar, she would not die, but she still wanted to leave. So, when the Black Wave Gang members opened fire, she didn't even have a place to hide."
Lucifer stood there and took a deep breath and said: "Even now, I still feel that if you serve others selflessly, you can go to heaven. This thing is really ridiculous. A person who has done evil all his life can only do it in the end."
How ridiculous it is that others can go to heaven just by thinking about it!"
Schiller heard the hatred in Lucifer's tone, but soon Lucifer changed his tone again. He said: "But when I became the person involved, when I became the person being considered,
When I did it, I had a very strange feeling.”
"I don't understand. I rejected a woman I met by chance and didn't provide her with any help. Even if she came back and begged me again, I might just refuse, but she just didn't want to."
Lucifer took a deep breath, his tone contained more and more complicated things, Schiller stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder and said:
"I guess it was only after you fell to heaven that you discovered that human beings are much more complicated than you thought, right?"
Lucifer put aside his head and did not answer. Schiller continued: "These are ordinary people. They are surprisingly bad, but also surprisingly good. If you want to punish them for their badness, you'd better be prepared."
Accept their kindness, otherwise, it will be difficult for you to be an ordinary person."
"Do you think you are an ordinary person?" Lucifer asked.
"Of course, but in front of you, in addition to being an ordinary person, I am also a devout Christian. My eternal God, your most beloved child, now feels sad and panicked..."
"Shut up!"
Lucifer quickly walked into the car and opened the door. After Schiller got in the car, he discovered that the car was not heading towards the bar, so Schiller asked: "Where are you going?"
"Chloe Yin's daughter Beatrice is about to get out of school. I have to pick her up. Chloe Yin is busy with matters related to the Quinn Group and can't leave now."
"By the way, how are you and her doing?" Schiller asked.
Just as Lucifer was about to answer, Schiller continued: "If you two have successfully gotten together, shouldn't you fulfill your previous promise?"
"No, the two of us haven't..." Hearing that Schiller had finished reciting "Merciful Heavenly Father," Lucifer changed the subject: "...but it's about to happen, her daughter likes me very much."
"Then should you..."
"I'll take Beatrice home first, and then I'll help you solve your seasickness problem."
Lucifer said that he would fulfill his promise after sending Beatrice off. In the end, he went to the restaurant again, bought the food, and sent it to the police station. He and Chloe also worked together. By the time he finished his work, it was already dark.
.
Seeing Schiller's face getting darker and darker, Lucifer drove back to the bar. After sitting down on the sofa, he rubbed his hands and said, "Okay, let me see why you get seasick."
…”
"Wait!" Lucifer paused for a moment and showed a strange expression. He seemed a little shocked, but also wanted to laugh. Then it turned into an expression that was difficult to describe, and he didn't know what he saw.
Schiller sat there, looking at him as if he was changing his face. The expression on his face kept changing. Now, Schiller discovered that what he hated most was not spoilers, but that he had clearly seen everything, but no matter how he asked,
Someone who doesn’t want to spoil anything at all.
"I guess you don't want to tell me what you saw, so I won't ask. You just need to help me solve the seasickness problem," Schiller said.
"No." Lucifer shook his head and said: "You'd better solve this matter yourself. I'm sorry, I can't help... Hey, wait! Don't pray! I'm not breaking the contract... Okay, okay
, why don’t I give you some hints?”
Schiller looked at him. Lucifer touched his lips, thought for a moment, and then said: "Your seasickness is not a physiological phenomenon. The problem appears in your soul. You can go there to find the answer."
Schiller said in his tone, then stood up and said: "Thank you for giving me a completely useless answer. I shouldn't expect anyone else."
With that said, he left the bar. Before leaving, he looked up at the calendar hanging on the wall. The superego's vacation should have been taken. Schiller almost forgot about it after not having to go to the thinking palace for a while.
Taking the nearest flight and flying back to Gotham overnight, Schiller rested for a night and then worked for a whole day. After returning to the manor in the evening, he entered the palace of thought again, intending to find out.
Everything was normal in the Hall of Thought, but Schiller did not see the superego. After searching the Hall of Thought again, he found nothing unusual, so he once again focused on the hole in the center of the Hall of Thought.
Schiller stood next to the hole and looked at it for a while, then drove the boat over again and followed the hole into his subconscious.
After sailing for an unknown amount of time in the endless darkness, Schiller finally saw a glimmer of light. He approached the ship and found that this scene seemed a bit familiar. Wasn't this the scene when he found Lucifer's feather last time?
Won't……
As soon as he thought of this, Schiller saw that floating in the darkness of his subconscious was a... scale with a soft luster.
