Chapter Two Thousand and Fifty-Six: The Past Is Like the Morning Star (I)
It takes time to set up a new version of the Doujie, and during this time, Owen and Lucifer, who need to work hard, set up their offices and labs first.
Lucifer directly dug his palace in Hell out of Hell and suspended it above the new earth of the Dou Realm, becoming an empty island floating in the universe.
Satan's palace is still old with the ashes of the past, and the dark-colored walls are set against the layers of candlesticks, with a deep loneliness.
On the first day after the move, Lucifer had an unexpected guest: Schiller.
Schiller, who was standing in front of the door, put away his umbrella, and Lucifer stood sideways inside the door, watching the glow in space gild Schiller's figure with a hazy halo.
"Looks like you've found Walt Disney." There was some smugness in Lucifer's tone, and he said, "I think you now partially understand my feelings, and it's not easy to deal with an all-knowing, all-powerful person. ”
"You're that kind of person to me." Schiller followed Lucifer through the long hallway, some muffled voices echoing through the extraordinarily wide space, reverberating vibrations like substance.
Turn left at the end of the corridor and walk past a row of towering Gothic windows, the rhythm of the leather shoe tapping makes the footsteps on the corridor overlapping with light and dark like fingers jumping on the piano keys.
Pushing open the door of the drawing room, it was a different style, with the strongest English manor atmosphere, the carpet was the crimson of dried blood, the rows of tall bookshelves on the right were crammed with all kinds of ancient books, and the dark fireplace on the left burned more vigorously than in the ordinary room.
The arc of the Gothic dome spread into the distance, like petals guarding the light of the pointed window, and the two sat down on the heavy, soft single sofa in front of the window, and Lucifer poured Schiller a glass of wine and placed it in front of him with a smile that seemed apologetic.
Schiller put the umbrella aside, picked up the wine glass and paused before saying, "You should know that I didn't come to ask you the truth today." ”
"Of course, if I don't want to say it, no one can press me, and neither can God."
"How's God doing?"
"Did Walt tell you that God was the devil for all this?" Lucifer sat down in his seat, took a sip of his glass, and said, "God has not been very good lately, Gabriel has been avoiding him, and it seems that he is stuck in another quagmire." ”
"I have reservations about you describing yourself as a mire." Schiller looked at Lucifer with a slightly sharp eye and said, "Gabriel can only be said to be a mud pit, and you are a whole swamp." ”
"Yes, because we are all arrogant." Lucifer nodded lightly and said, "Arrogance, arrogance, arrogance, why shouldn't it be called the first of the seven deadly sins?" ”
"Looks like it's still about you." Schiller suddenly slowed his tone and said, "You'd better not tell me you're the culprit in all this, or I'll have Bruce post God's diary of your childhood on the bulletin board in heaven." ”
"Oh, come on." Lucifer raised his hands and said, "You also said that you didn't come to question me, you put the knife on my neck!" ”
Schiller still looked at him intently and said: "This proves that you are not as indifferent to his love and devotion as you appear, and you can easily ignore and waste it at will." ”
"No one." Lucifer also turned to look at Schiller, and his tone began to become more aggressive, and he said, "You can't either, can you?" ”
Schiller withdrew his gaze, put the glass to his lips, took a sip of the cold liquor, and remained silent without speaking.
Lucifer was like a punctured balloon, and after that violent bang, there was not even a process of deflating, and it fell silently.
"You want to hear your story, his story, but I'm going to tell you my story eventually."
After a while, Lucifer said, "It all came from a mistake, a complete mistake. ”
"I was the first light of God's creation, and after I was born, I spent a carefree time with God in the Garden of Eden."
"I was his child then, he was my father, and I only had this relationship in my world, and it was all I had."
"Until one day he told me that I had a destiny that had to be done, that he had done his job, that I would have my duty, that I would be the first angel."
"I didn't even know what an angel was at the time, and he told me that angels have their own duties and destiny to fulfill, and that was the first time he forced me to do something."
"At that time a mood germinated in my heart and gradually took control of me, and now we call it arrogance."
Lucifer sighed and said, "Or that's who I am, I love my father, but I don't believe in God, and the greatest arrogance is 'unbelief.'" ”
"So when he began to want me to think of him as God, as a supreme god, I chose not to believe, I chose to leave the Garden of Eden."
At this point, Lucifer closed his eyes, his eyelashes trembled slightly, as if he had thought of something, and then said, "On the day I left, he stood behind me and said to me that there is no escaping fate, and that you will eventually become what you should be." ”
Lucifer took a deep breath, opened his eyes and looked at Schiller, "You've heard the rest of the story once. ”
Schiller still looked at him and didn't say anything, and Lucifer continued.
"I came to the world, landed in an alley, and saw a little boy appear in front of me, and I said to him, 'Son, don't be afraid.'"
Only then did Schiller frown slightly, he realized something, and Lucifer looked at him and nodded lightly.
"That's right, that's the first thing the angels say to mankind recorded in the Bible — 'Do not be afraid, child.'"
"I realized that everything was irreparable." Lucifer's hand on the armrest tightened, and his knuckles began to white, "I realize that my destiny cannot be changed, that I am destined to become an angel, and that I will lose my father and serve the gods high all my life. ”
"I reject all this, forever."
Lucifer's narration began to be mixed with too much gasp, as if it was still painful for him to recall it.
And the next turn of events was beyond Schiller's expectations.
"I choose to dissipate my consciousness and return to the first light of creation, and from then on there will be no more Lucifer Morning Star, no more God's first child, no more first angel."
Schiller's pupils shrank, and he stared straight at Lucifer, suddenly realizing how arrogant this fallen angel who represented arrogance and original sin really was.
If God connived with fate to take away Lucifer's father, then he took God's son first.
So Schiller couldn't help but ask, "And then?" ”
Lucifer pursed his lips and said, "God regretted it, he backed down." ”
He turned his head again, looked up at Schiller, and said, "He took the soul of the little boy with whom I had a fateful relationship, and sent him to another world, a world far away. ”
Schiller's hand gripping the armrest clenched.
"Perhaps you have wondered countless times why you have so many extraordinary talents, your strength that is not at all human, your ability to foresee danger, your overly sensitive senses, and even the ability to completely reshape your own mental structure."
"That's not whether you're lucky or unlucky." Lucifer leaned to Schiller's side and looked him in the eye and said, "You come from a powerful universe with these powers, and it makes you alien to that weak universe. ”
Schiller's hand slowly loosened.
He had indeed pondered this question countless times, and the science of the universe in which he had lived in his previous life could not explain the source of his power.
There is no one in that world who has the same special abilities as him, and these abilities themselves are more like the appearance of a universe with superheroes, and they seem out of place in a universe full of ordinary people.
"God is more powerful than you think, He is the embodiment of faith for billions of people." Lucifer shook his head lightly and said, "All races and civilizations that believe in the One God believe in God, and God is one of the code names of the One God. ”
"So the universe where you met me is where I was truly born." Schiller looked at Lucifer and said, "And it is a universe with a higher level of power, and there are many superpowers, and I was one of them. ”
Lucifer nodded slowly, then looked away and said, "But you should know that your original body without a soul is equivalent to death, and I don't want to kill an innocent child." ”
Schiller had a vague premonition, and Lucifer cleared his throat with some embarrassment and said, "I brought in a soul who had just died, and let him be reborn in this body." ”
"So I'm not wrong." Lucifer stretched out his hands and defended himself, "You two are old friends of mine. ”
Schiller's eyes narrowed slowly, and the expression on his face was obvious, "Your skills are really poor."
Lucifer coughed twice, sat there and struggled for a long time, and found that he really couldn't change the topic, so he said with a slight complaint: "I really don't know where he got so much resentment, and I didn't cause his country to disintegrate, as for rushing up and grabbing my wings?" ”
Schiller also coughed under his breath, well hiding his urge to laugh out loud, and he knew that the scene was not that romantic at all.
As Lucifer said before, when he first came to Earth, he met a little boy, and the little boy pulled off one of his feathers without any distraction.
Now it seems that there is indeed no distraction, it is just a simple resentment that the gods block and kill the gods and the Buddhas block and kill the Buddhas.
According to the clues obtained before, it is known that the original Schiller committed suicide after the collapse of the Soviet Union, and he committed suicide after listening to the broadcast of the collapse of the Soviet Union.
This is Lucifer, Schiller thought, but if you change to an angel who is not so strong, you can be torn alive.
"So I say it's a complete mistake."
Unexpectedly, Lucifer sighed again and said, "Because this is just the beginning, although it may disappoint you to say so, but it is not what I want to be friends with him at all, I have no other way." ”
Schiller looked at Lucifer, who had a complicated expression on his face, and after a moment of silence, he said, "He's a very ...... I don't know how to describe it, he's a Soviet scientist, you know? ”
Lucifer said in a somewhat collapsed tone: "His first reaction after discovering that there are really angels in this world is not to believe in God, but to figure out why angels exist in this world, and he wants to know the principle of the existence of angels." ”
"I could have walked away and ignored it, but he snatched one of my feathers, and it was the one that stood out at the tip of my wing, and I had to find a way to get it back...... I have no choice but to cooperate with his research, there is no other way! ”
