"Gabriel could not understand my special attitude towards Lucifer, he never thought about the root cause of this, and all the angels in heaven thought that I liked Lucifer because he was the most perfect and powerful angel."

God's voice echoed through the theater, and Schiller turned his head to look at him as if to ask, "Isn't it?" ”

"There is part of this reason, but I see him as my son because he is indeed my son, and I am not his god, but his father."

"On the first day he came to my bosom with the first light, and I carried him from day to night; The next day I divided the sky, and I created wings for him, so that he could fly freely in the firmament. On the third day, I gathered all the waters together and made the dry land exposed, and I took him by the hand and let his feet fall to the ground, and he learned to run. ”

"When the stars began to shine on the fourth day, I thought of his name, that he should have the depth of night and the brightness of light at the same time, so I called him the morning star, which means the first star in the sky."

"On the fifth day I created fish and birds, and taught him to hunt birds with arrows and fish with spears, so that he could know life and death; And on the sixth day We created people in our own image and built them the Garden of Eden. ”

"Henceforth, whenever I walked through the Garden of Eden, he followed me, flew between the clouds, stumbled clumsily between the bushes, leaned against the trees with me to look at the stars, and brought me the prey he had caught."

God's voice was full of nostalgia, and he was silent for a long time before he said, "The angels I created with this purpose do not consider them to be my children, but only the guards of this world. ”

"Gabriel, Raphael, and Udir all thought so, and Michael was especially serious, and in the eyes of the angels their responsibilities were much more important than their feelings for me and my feelings for them, and they thought that the best way for them to express their feelings for me was to fulfill their duties perfectly."

God looked at Gabriel's fleeing figure on the screen and said, "You may not believe it, but Gabriel does feel that it is just to start a war for Lucifer, because Lucifer has betrayed his duty, and in Gabriel's opinion, it is a sign that Lucifer does not love me enough." ”

"He thinks that I prefer Lucifer, but Lucifer doesn't love me at all, which is the number one crime in the world, so no matter what means he uses to get revenge on Lucifer, it is reasonable, and even if I come forward, Gabriel will not stop."

"It is the sense of responsibility you have given them that creates a conflict with their own feelings." Schiller also sighed and said: "When you created them, you gave them the expectation of completing their work, so they did as you said, but the other among them, Lucifer, will not be punished even if he does not complete his job, and if he does not fulfill his responsibilities, he will still be favored by you, which will make others very confused, especially Gabriel." ”

"His soul and blood are telling him that if you do your job dutifully, you will gain God's favor, but the truth is telling him that it is useless to do your duty, and that your love is all for a prodigal."

"The terrible thing is not what the parents set the standards, but the different attitudes of the parents when they meet or fail to meet the standards at the same time."

"When two people make mistakes at the same time, but the parents only blame one of them, the confusion of the person who is blamed comes from the contradiction between facts and emotional feedback, obviously both are wrong, and they should all get negative feedback, but one of them does not."

"The lack of fairness can lead to distrust standards, and when you hear about a goal, the instinctive reaction is not how to get there, but what is the use of achieving it?"

This is the root cause of Gabriel's self-defeating and abandonment of moral standards, but what about violating the bottom line? You won't like him anyway if you don't violate the bottom line, and if he is as conscientious as Michael, will you be able to like him as much as you like Lucifer? ”

"Even so, I hope you can help him." God closed his eyes up and down and said, "I know that if I come forward now and reprimand him and let him go back to heaven, even if this matter is over, he will still come next time, and it will be more extreme every time." ”

"Even if I could stop him again and again, I wouldn't want him to be so confused and miserable, but to be honest, I don't know how to change."

God raised his head slightly, leaned the back of his head against the back of the theater chair, and said, "I have a deep affection for Lucifer because I grew up with him and spent many good times with him as the world gradually improved. ”

"Further, the child is born from the mother's body, and the child is part of the mother's body and soul, and they have a natural emotional bond, but the bond between the father and the child is given to them by me, and it is I who poured my emotions into the creation of the creation, and all the existing fatherly love in this world produces the feelings of the self and Lucifer."

Schiller shook his head and said, "All human injustices also come from you, this cannot be changed, you don't need to change, and human beings don't need to." ”

"People in unfair families are angry and painful, but the way to save them is not to try to get their parents to change, and the way to adjust this mentality is not to help them scold their parents, maybe this has a temporary effect, but it will not help in the long run."

"It's about sobering him up, and stop looking for love from people who don't love you at all, stop looking for a sense of existence from people who don't care if you exist or not, they should find security elsewhere."

Schiller said with some emotion: "It is to make them understand that there is nothing more difficult in this world than to find love from their eccentric parents, who have all been trying such difficult things for so many years, and have been mentally tortured for so long, what other change is difficult and painful for them?" ”

God was silent for a long, long time, the screen flashed again and again, Gabriel exhausted the last of his strength, barely dragging Constantine's body to teleport away, and Cain also turned into a blood mist to chase him, Bruce returned to the Forgotten Bookstore, and through the Forgotten Bookstore to the Forgotten Bar, where he found Zatana, who was recuperating.

"Is there any way to save him?"

God was mentally prepared to pay the same price as Gabriel and Lucifer when he asked this, but Schiller said as if he remembered something.

"I think of a letter my friend wrote to me, 'I hope you will experience the earnestness of a father' – he was not a good father, but he did at least the right thing, and he never gave any of his children unrealistic hopes."

"He always rejects them, doesn't communicate with them, doesn't respond to their ardent expectations, it's not that he doesn't love them, it's just that he is doomed to a bright future, and he hopes that his children will not be disappointed if they don't have hope."

"But he also knew that it would not last long, and he had failed many times, so when he saw the first rays of sunshine, he couldn't wait to send the birds into the sun, hoping that they would have hope for others, not him."

Schiller sighed, closed his eyes, and said, "But he will always understand that the birds pick up the sun in the bright bays to illuminate his dark caves." ”

God knew what he was talking about, but he only wanted to know what to do with his two sons now, and before he could ask again, Schiller continued: "The plan is almost complete, and for both Lucifer and Gabriel, you have one last chance to regret it." ”

God's fingertips holding the armrest trembled a little, but he eventually asked, "Will Lucifer really go back to heaven?" ”

Hearing that God did not mention Gabriel's name, Schiller had already expected the result, so he nodded and said: "He will, and Gabriel, who is expelled, will despair, despair will be sobering, and he will eventually find his own value, but then he will ......"

Schiller shook his head and did not continue to speak, he sat silently in the theater chair with God, and continued to watch the scene on the screen.

Bruce finds Deria, the barmaid who stayed behind, and Zatana, who is in a trance, in the Forgotten Bar.

Zatanna told Bruce in fits and pieces what it was all about, how she found out what Jonathan Klein had done, how she wounded him in a fit of rage, and how she had saved Gotham.

Bruce coughed twice more and clenched his hand into a fist to cover his mouth, he looked Zatana in the eye and said, "Have you tried to apologize to him and then say thank you to him?" ”

Zatanna was stunned, she pursed her lips and said a little stubbornly: "But the matter of the Mosen neighborhood is that he is wrong, how can I apologize to an evil murderer?" ”

"Then you can arrest him."

"But, however, he still needs to continue to study that toxin, and he also needs to solve the secrets hidden in Gotham's buildings, he can save Gotham, I can't ......"

"Then you'll keep an eye on him and do your research until the day he saves Gotham."

"But I wounded him."

"Then you go and apologize to him."

"But he's a murderer."

"Then you go and arrest him."

"But he's going to save Gotham."

"Then you're going to stare at him and do your research."

Deria, the wine guard next to her, couldn't listen anymore, she slapped her on the head, spread her hand and said to Bruce, "Look, I'll just say she's crazy!" She's been like this for the past few days, and our conversation is repeating every day, I don't know what she thinks. ”

Zatanna, on the other hand, sat on the bed with her arms around her legs as if she was sulking, her chin resting on her knees, and the corners of her mouth turned down, looking very unhappy.

"Have you ever tried to do all of these things at the same time?"

Zatanna glanced at Bruce.

"You go and apologize to him first, say you shouldn't have hit him, then say thank you to him, thank him for saving Gotham, and finally arrest him, put a spell on him and make him work, won't it be solved?"

Zatanna stared at Bruce with wide eyes, and after a moment her mouth opened and closed, and she asked, "Doesn't this look like psychosis?" ”

"Isn't he mentally ill?"

He ...... Is it? ”

"If he's not, why is he staying at Arkham Psychiatric Hospital?"

Zatanna was speechless, and Bruce pressed her shoulder and said, "It's perfectly fine for you to act out a psychopath in front of a psychopath, because he's mentally ill, so even if he says bad things about you, no one will believe him, just think he's talking crazy." ”

"Even if you curse him and make him work hard, people will only think that he is having an obsessive-compulsive episode, and this little punishment and the effect it can produce can be regarded as a consolation to the souls of the Mawson neighborhood."

Zatanna froze in place for a long time, her brows furrowed and loosened, loosened and wrinkled, and after a while, she licked her dry lips and said, "...... It seems to make some sense, so, then I'll try? ”

"Go ahead, don't you have a portal? It shouldn't be hard for you to cast a spell. ”

Zatanna grabbed her magic wand, took a few deep breaths, and swooped into the portal.

In the laboratory of the Arkham Psychiatric Hospital's Patient Activity Center, Jonathan looked at the portal that appeared in the center of the room as he expected, and Jonathan raised his head triumphantly.

Looking at Zatana who rushed out of the portal, Jonathan's prepared words were already on his lips, and he believed that Zatanna was now on the verge of collapse.

As a result, the innocent and reckless girl held the magic wand with a nervous face and pointed it at Jonathan, closed her eyes and shouted.

"I'm sorry, thank you...... 'the ground is fainting'!"
