Between the lush mountains and rocky jungles, the winds of the west coast blow through the railroad tracks, and the reefs on the coastline are washed by the waves over the years, leaving rough holes, and between the two phases, the two bring a distant and desolate echo.

A train drove out of the tunnel, flowing like a meandering stream at the junction of the coast and the mountains, and the sea breeze on one side blew in through the cracks in the windows, making the window panels clatter against the window frames.

One hand was placed on the handle of the window frame, and he pushed it forward hard, and with a "click", the window was locked, and the slightly annoying clicking sound finally disappeared, withdrawing his hand, putting down the newspaper, Schiller looked at Lucifer, who was sitting opposite the compartment of the carriage, from the top of his glasses, and said:

"Your travel plans are truly classic, and I never thought that a creature with wings on its own would be the train as the first choice of transportation when traveling to another location."

Lucifer was splitting the French shortbread on his plate with a knife and fork, and he was concentrating on his breakfast, and said, "That's the meaning of travel, people can get to a place in the fastest way, but they have to take a leisurely tour, if you weren't too tired, we could have walked through." ”

"Spare me." Schiller rolled his eyes slightly, let out a sigh, Lucifer sighed and said: "The luxurious private room of the travel train does not represent the style of travel on the West Coast at all, if you want me to say, we should take a road trip that is just about to go, waving on the side of the road, is also an important part of the trip." ”

Schiller gently closed the newspaper, looked into Lucifer's eyes and said, "Then you will show your wings when the robbers pull out their guns, and scare them out...... That's what you're for. ”

"I hate psychologists." Lucifer lowered his head again and began to cut the food on the plate.

Schiller flicked the bell fixed to the door, and after a while, a waiter in a black vest came up, opened the door, and asked, "Sir, what is the need?" ”

"Do you have any recommendations for breakfast?"

"Oh, sir, you're asking the right question, this train offers a lot of seafood delicacies, including lobster and king crab."

"But I don't think it's for the morning, and if you like seafood, you should have a steaming bowl of creamy clam soup, smoked salmon with mashed potatoes, and Seattle's special pickled cucumbers and sweet peppers if you want some veggies."

"Thank you for the recommendation, that's all."

"No problem, sir, coffee or wine? The train is also famous for its coffee, with traditional espresso selling more than 20,000 cups a year. ”

"Then bring me a cup of espresso, thank you."

After the waiter left, Lucifer put the last piece of shortbread in his mouth, and Schiller looked at the not rich food on his plate, but he still couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and said, "What I didn't expect was that an angel would have a seafood allergy...... Are you hit by a fish in heaven? I can't think of any other explanation. ”

"How could I be so stupid." Lucifer immediately retorted: "When I was still living in the Garden of Eden, I was a good fisherman, and only the stupid Michael would do such a thing as catching a fish and being beaten by a fish." ”

"Then why don't you eat seafood?"

"Please, I've lived in Los Angeles for so long, and I'm going to vomit the seafood, only you East Coast guys will come here and only know what lobster and king crab to eat." Lucifer said dissatisfied.

"So, the way you get rid of this eating habit is to move from one city on the West Coast to another, and it's another city with a very developed fishing industry, Seaside City?"

"I really don't know when my Pope will be able to do his homework." Lucifer put down his knife and fork, took the newspaper that Schiller had placed on the table, and said as he read it: "The kingdom of God on the earth of angels has a scope, and the east coast is Gabriel's territory, and I hate that stupid bird that sheds its hair all over the world, so I don't want to hang out there." ”

"Do you not want to go to the territory of other angels, or because you can't quarrel with them, you feel ashamed, only you know." Schiller leaned back slightly, allowing the waiter to place the soup on the table.

"When will I stop arguing with them?!" Lucifer immediately raised his voice and asked.

"Last night, don't think I didn't hear it, when I was packing my luggage, you called them next door to argue about the small offensive and defensive battle that took place near the Holy Spring tens of thousands of years ago, when you were in the battle of the Fallen Heavens tens of thousands of years ago, who won in the end, you were robbed by Michael, and you couldn't even speak."

"Schiller!" Lucifer slapped the table angrily and said, "Pay attention to your wording, you are my pope, who are you on?" ”

"I'm on God's side." Schiller said after taking a sip of the soup.

Lucifer snorted coldly and said, "If I hadn't fallen into the sky, would I have been able to get Michael as the chief angel?" Gabriel used to be just my little henchman, but now, he's following Michael's ass......"

"Yesterday, when I prayed to God, he said, you have discussed a war of falling into the sky for tens of thousands of years, and you are not annoyed by what you say, but he is annoyed when he listens." Schiller said.

"You're complaining to God again?!" Lucifer was furious.

"He praised you."

"Oh, really? …… I mean, don't try to lie to me! ”

Schiller cut a piece of fish, ignored Lucifer's rolling eyes, and directly changed the subject: "Last night when I was packing my luggage, I called Hal, and he will come to pick us up when the train arrives." ”

Lucifer raised his eyebrows, folded up the newspaper in his hand, and said, "But you clearly said last night that you did not approve of my decision." ”

"As a qualified pope, I am very worried that my god will not be able to pay the rent and live on the streets because of his bad business." Schiller shook his head lightly and said, "I'm really curious, you can lose more than 100,000 dollars by opening a bar in the best part of Los Angeles, the most entertainment atmosphere, and the most traffic, how do you do it?" ”

Lucifer spread his hands and said, "My bar is not only human, but also the human world, the spirit world, heaven, and hell, everyone wants to come and cheer, but you can also imagine that some races that are not very good may have a little bit of ...... Small friction. ”

"How many times has your bar been rebuilt?"

"More than 6,000 times."

"You're a business genius."

Lucifer sighed and said, "This time I went to Seaside City, I want to change my business strategy, and no race other than humans is allowed. ”

Schiller put down his knife and fork, rattled the bell for the waiter to come and take away the plates, he wiped his mouth with a napkin, and said, "Actually, I have a joint business with Hal, and I think it will be beneficial for you to open a bar, and when he arrives, we can talk together." ”

"It's not a good thing." Lucifer pouted.

Soon, the train arrived, and no matter how slow this relatively primitive means of transportation was, it was always much faster than the unreliable roadside ride, and when Schiller and Lucifer got off the train, it was not completely dark.

As soon as the two of them stepped out of the platform, a man in a brown bomber jacket walked over, he first hugged Schiller, then shook hands with Lucifer, Schiller handed him the brown suitcase in his hand, and the suitcase disappeared in a flash of green light.

Lucifer raised an eyebrow and said, "Green Lantern? ”

"That's right, I'm Hal Jordan, the Green Lantern in the sector where Earth is located, and it's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Lucifer." Hal nodded and led the two people out, Schiller looked at his dusty appearance, and asked with some doubts, "Did you just come back too?" ”

"Yes, I just rushed back when I heard you were coming, Oliver was in some trouble there, and Arthur and I went to help him."

Schiller shook his head and said, "What trouble can make both of you go to help, and isn't it enough to go to one?" ”

Hal frowned and said, "It's complicated to say, and Oliver won't let us talk to anyone else, but if there's anything I need your help with, I'll tell you." ”

Schiller nodded and didn't say anything, the situation on the Mexican side is indeed very complicated, it is not something that can be explained clearly in one or two sentences, Green Arrow's actions over there are smooth and smooth, but the more smoothly it is, the more trouble he will face, it is estimated that this time he should encounter trouble in force, otherwise he would not have called both Aquaman and Green Lantern.

Hal drove an old pickup truck, and Lucifer saw a mess of fishing nets in the middle of the pickup truck, so he climbed into the car and asked, "Are you a fisherman?" ”

"No, I'm a test pilot, but many families in Seaside City are fishing, and my family is the same, my uncle has several boats, and most of the family members follow him out to sea, and some people work on cruise ships, and they don't see each other a few times a year."

Lucifer was intrigued, and he said, "I haven't fished in the ocean yet, I heard." Do you go out to sea during tuna season and the biggest tuna you catch is the king of fish at auction? ”

While driving, Hal nodded and said, "It's been a long time since an American caught a king fish, and the Canadians are blessed." ”

The three of them chatted about ocean fishing, and the car soon drove to Howl's house, where both Schiller and Lucifer were a little puzzled that it was a fishing ground, and it looked abandoned.

"Everyone who comes to my house for the first time feels weird, but it's actually normal in Seaside City." Hal sighed and led the two forward: "In my grandfather's time, the marine resources were very abundant, and a net with a lot of cod could not hold it. ”

"But as you know, as the ecology of the ocean continues to be destroyed, human beings fish uncontrollably, fishing resources are facing depletion, the seabed ecology becomes worse, and the output of fishing grounds will also deteriorate."

"By my father's generation, the coral and seabed ecology in the fishing grounds had been devastated, and they couldn't raise fish at all, and they would only lose money if they scattered the fry, so they had to choose to change careers."

"The more no one takes care of it, the worse the condition of the fishing grounds, which cannot be sold at all, so they have to file for bankruptcy and become other land, and the government of Seaside City has no choice but to allow fishermen to continue to live, so there are many families living in such abandoned fishing grounds in Seaside City."

With the depth of the journey of several people, the scenery in front of them suddenly opened up, on the right hand side is a sandy beach full of stones, the clear water with white waves spread over the reef, and at the height of the reef there are flocks of seagulls, constantly circling in the air, landing on the cliffs in the distance.

On the left-hand side is a lush forest, which spreads out to the left, forming a high cliff with waves crashing on the shore and a lighthouse above the cliff.

Hal pointed to the shoreline and said, "Didn't you find it?" The water here is clearer than anywhere else, and it is a rare tourist attraction for tourists, but for fishermen, it is a sign of the depletion of fishery resources. ”

"The government will allow us to continue to live here, in fact, so that we can maintain the sanitary environment here to attract tourists, for which we have also exempted the property tax, and also reduced part of the inheritance tax, any resource-based city will eventually be transformed, and the seaside city is doing well."

Both Lucifer and Schiller nodded, this natural scenery does not need any embellishment to attract the eye, just looking at it, you can imagine the leisure and leisure of camping here.

Following the path by the beach, the group came to the doors of two stone huts hidden in the forest, and when Hal knocked on the door, when he opened the door, an old man with gray curly hair appeared.

"This is my father, Martin Jordan...... Don't be surprised, I'm the second son in the family, and I'm 12 years older than my brother, so my parents are older. ”
