Chapter 661: The Victim Is in Good Condition (Part II)
The sea breeze in Los Angeles is still very gentle, even the wind has the rhythm of jazz, but the sun is not shining today, and the dark clouds are very low, as if it will rain at any time.
It's not a good weather to visit, but it's an extra good place to say goodbye to the deceased, and a funeral is taking place on a verdant meadow.
There were very few people standing in the center of the field, only a few, but there were many people around, all holding flowers in their hands, whispering a name, and some were still singing.
Schiller, who was in a black suit, lowered his head, and Lucifer, who was beside him, heard Schiller whisper:
"Dear Lord, you have chosen Delilah to be a servant of your Son, to practice charity with singing and to preach the gospel with a merciful voice......"
"Because you have called her back to you, give her the grace of sharing your eternal feast with all the saints in the kingdom of heaven, for our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, and you and the Holy Spirit are the only God......
Lucifer dismissively said, "Are you praying seriously?" Devout Christians, huh? ”
Schiller ignored him completely, drew a cross on his chest very reverently, and said, "Eternal Father, Amen." ”
After praying, Schiller squinted like Lucifer, and Lucifer heard him continue:
"Almighty and merciful God, the most beloved Son of your own hand, the first light that you followed after the creation of the world, the first angel in the world, Lucifer Morning Star, drank until four o'clock in the morning last night, and drank so badly that I was struck by his ignorance, and he did not even know who Hegel was......"
Lucifer hurriedly reached out and covered Schiller's mouth, he looked left and right, and then lowered his voice and said, "What are you talking about?" How could I not even know who Hegel was, but I had a doctorate in philosophy! ”
"Really? …… Gracious Father, eternal God, your son, after receiving his doctorate in philosophy, only opened a bar on the West Coast......"
Lucifer quickly reached out and covered Schiller's mouth again, and he said, "Damn, you are my pope, can you not worry about the complaint every day, is there a pope like you?" ”
Schiller snorted coldly and said, "I became pope in order to resign." You won't let me resign, and won't you allow me to call the big boss to complain? ”
"I'm your boss!" Lucifer emphasized.
"But he's your dad." Schiller said expressionlessly.
"He's not my dad!"
"And he's your mother?"
Lucifer's fist was already raised, but he waved his hand in mid-air and put it down again.
Schiller just looked ahead, at this time, Delilah's collaborator was telling in front of her, what a good singer she was, and when the body said goodbye, Schiller finished putting flowers and turned to see Lucifer who was about to come forward with a sad face.
"I thought you weren't sad." On the way out, Schiller said to Lucifer, "Since you are very reluctant, why don't you just resurrect him?" ”
Lucifer paused in his footsteps and said, "I went to hell ......"
"And then?"
"I didn't find her."
Schiller raised an eyebrow, Lucifer lowered his head, buried his head and walked forward, saying as he went, "Delilah didn't go to hell, and later, I found her in heaven." ”
"Did she go to heaven?"
"Unbelievable, right? She used to be a wine lady, and she used drugs, maybe she sold drugs, but she still went to heaven. Lucifer's Adam's apple moved, and she said, "Do you know why?" ”
Schiller didn't speak, just looked at him, and Lucifer replied to himself: "After I found her in heaven, she told me everything. ”
"After Delilah left the bar, those people found her, the same people I told you before, who forced her to sell drugs."
"They've been pushing Delilah to sell drugs to my bar, and they're hoping that Delilah will convince me to expand me into a clientele, but Delilah knows I hate it, so she's refused."
"Before coming to my bar, they gave Daily an ultimatum that if she didn't cooperate, they would kill her." Lucifer pursed her lips and said, "Yes, she knows...... She knew he might die if he left the bar. ”
"But she didn't tell me, and just after she left the bar, the group stopped her at the next intersection and gave her one last chance, and they told Delilah to go back to the bar and begged me to take the drugs."
Lucifer's hand hung in the air and said, "She refused again, she refused to go back, she just wanted to leave." ”
"At that time, she found out 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 shot, she didn't even have a place to hide."
Lucifer stood in place and took a deep breath and said: "Until now, I also think that if you pay selflessly for others, you can go to heaven, this thing is really ridiculous, a person who has done evil all his life, as long as he thinks about others in the end, he can go to heaven, how ridiculous is this!" ”
Schiller could hear the hatred in Lucifer's tone, but soon Lucifer changed his tone, saying, "But when I become a client, when I become the person being considered, I have a very strange feeling. ”
"I don't understand, a woman who met in Pingshui, I rejected her pursuit, didn't provide her with any help, even if she came back and begged me, I might just refuse, but she just didn't want to."
Lucifer took a deep breath, and there was something more and more complicated in his tone, and Schiller stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder and said:
"I guess you only discovered after the fall that humans are much more complicated than you think, right?"
Lucifer turned 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 bad, it is better to be prepared to accept their good, otherwise, it will be difficult for you to be an ordinary person." ”
"Do you think you're an ordinary person?" Lucifer asked.
"Of course, but, in your presence, I am a devout Christian, in addition to being an ordinary man, my eternal God, your most beloved child, and now I feel sad and panicked......"
"Shut up!"
Lucifer walked quickly into the car and opened the door, but when Schiller got into the car, he realized that the car was not heading in the direction of the bar, so Schiller asked, "Where are you going?" ”
"Chloe's daughter Beatrice is getting out of school, I'm going to pick her up, Chloe is busy with the Quinn Group-related eucalyptus, and she can't leave now."
"By the way, how are you doing with her?" Schiller asked.
As soon as Lucifer was about to answer, Schiller continued: "If the two of you have managed to get together, should you fulfill your promise?" ”
"No, the two of us haven't ...... yet" Hearing that Schiller had finished reciting "Merciful Father", Lucifer changed his words: "...... But it's almost coming, and her daughter likes me a lot. ”
"Then shouldn't you ......?"
"I'll send Beatrice home first, and then I'll help you with seasickness."
Lucifer said that he would fulfill his promise after delivering Beatrice, but he went to the restaurant again, bought the food, and sent it to the police station, and then farmed with Chloe, and when he was done, it was dark.
Seeing Schiller's darkening face, Lucifer drove back to the bar, and after sitting down on the sofa, he rubbed his hands and said, "Okay, let me see why the hell you get seasick......
"Wait!" After a pause, Lucifer gave a strange expression, a little shocked, but a little like laughing, and then a look that was difficult to describe, and he didn't know what he was seeing.
Schiller sat in place, watching him change his face as if his face was changing, and now, Schiller found that what he hated the most was not the spoiler party, but the person who had obviously seen everything, but refused to spoil at all no matter how he asked.
"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." Schiller said.
"Nope." Lucifer shook his head and said, "You'd better sort this out on your own, I'm sorry, I can't help...... Hey, wait! Don't pray! I'm not in default...... Okay, okay, can'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 is in your soul, you can go there to find the answer." ”
Schiller sighed, then stood up and said, "Thank you for giving me a completely useless answer, I shouldn't have counted on anyone else." ”
With that, he left the bar, and before leaving, he glanced up at the calendar hanging on the wall, the superego should have been over, and there was no need to think about it for a while, and Schiller had almost forgotten it.
On the nearest flight, flying back to Gotham overnight, Schiller rested for the night, then worked all day, and only after returning to the manor in the evening did he enter the temple of thought again, intending to find out.
Everything was going on in the Hall of Mind, but Schiller didn't see the superego, and after searching the Hall of Mind again, he didn't find anything unusual, so he set his sights on the hole in the center of the Hall of Mind again.
Schiller stood beside the hole and watched for a moment, then turned the boat over again and followed the hole into the subconscious.
After sailing in the endless darkness for an unknown amount of time, at last, Schiller saw a glimmer of light, and he approached the boat, and then realized that this scene was a bit familiar, wasn't this the scene when he had found Lucifer's feathers last time? Won't it ......
As soon as he thought of this, Schiller saw that floating in the darkness of the subconscious mind was a ...... that exuded a soft luster Scales.
