Chapter 664: The Victim Is in Good Condition (Part 3)

The sea breeze in Los Angeles was still very gentle, and even the sound of the wind carried the rhythm of jazz, but today's sunlight was not bright; dark clouds pressed very low, as if it would rain at any moment.

This was not good weather for tourism, but it was extra suitable for saying goodbye to the dead. On a lush green lawn, a funeral was being held.

There were very few people standing in the center of the venue, only a few, but there were many people around. They all held flowers in their hands, whispering a name, and some were still singing.

Shiler, wearing a black suit, lowered his head, and Lucifer, who was beside him, heard Shiler whisper:

"Dear Lord, you chose Delilah as the servant of your Holy Son, in the world, practicing love with a singing voice, and preaching the gospel with a merciful voice..."

"Since you have called her back to your side, I pray you grant her, in the Kingdom of Heaven, to share your eternal feast with all the saints, because of our Lord Jesus Christ, your Holy Son, who with you and the Holy Spirit, is the only God..."

Lucifer said disdainfully, "You pray quite seriously? A devout Christian, hmm?"

Shiler ignored him completely, made a sign of the cross on his chest very devoutly, and then said, "Eternal Heavenly Father, Amen."

After praying, Shiler looked at Lucifer sideways, and then Lucifer heard him continue:

"Almighty and merciful God, your most beloved son, whom you created with your own hands, the first light that followed after you created the world, the first angel in this world, Lucifer Morningstar, drank until four in the morning last night, and his drinking manners are extremely poor. His ignorance shocks me; he doesn't even know who Hegel is..."

Lucifer hurriedly reached out to cover Shiler's mouth. He looked left and right, then lowered his voice and said, "What are you saying? How could I not know who Hegel is? I have a PhD in philosophy!"

"Is that so?... Merciful Heavenly Father, eternal God, your son actually only opens a bar on the West Coast after getting a PhD in philosophy..."

Lucifer hurriedly reached out to cover Shiler's mouth again. He said, "Damn it, you are my Pope. Can you not think about complaining every day? Is there any Pope like you?"

Shiler snorted coldly and said, "I became Pope to resign. You won't let me resign, and you won't allow me to call the big boss to complain?"

"I am your boss!" Lucifer emphasized.

"But he is your dad," Shiler said expressionlessly.

"He is not my dad!"

"Then is he your mom?"

Lucifer's fist was already raised, but he waved his hand in mid-air and put his fist down again.

Shiler just looked forward. At this time, Delilah's collaborator was speaking in front about what an excellent singer she was. When it was time for the body viewing, Shiler finished placing his flowers and turned to see Lucifer, who was about to step forward, showing grief.

"I thought you weren't sad," Shiler said to Lucifer on the way back. "Since you are so reluctant to let her go, why didn't you resurrect her directly?"

Lucifer's footsteps paused, then he said, "I went to Hell..."

"And then?"

"I didn't find her."

Shiler raised an eyebrow. Lucifer lowered his head, buried his head, and walked forward, saying as he walked, "Delilah didn't go to Hell. Later, I found her in Heaven."

"She went to Heaven?"

"Quite unbelievable, right? She used to be a hostess, and also used drugs, perhaps even trafficked drugs, but she could still go to Heaven." Lucifer's Adam's apple moved, and she said, "Do you know why this is?"

Shiler didn't speak, just looked at him. Lucifer answered to himself, "After I found her in Heaven, she told me everything."

"After Delilah left the bar, those people approached her—the ones I told you about before, who forced her to traffic drugs."

"They kept forcing Delilah, wanting her to sell drugs to my bar. They hoped Delilah could persuade me to expand me into a source of customers. But Delilah knew I hated those things, so she kept refusing."

"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 knew... she knew that leaving the bar might mean death."

"But she didn't tell me, and just after she left the bar, that group of people blocked her at the intersection nearby and gave her one last chance. They wanted Delilah to return to the bar and beg me to accept the drugs."

Lucifer's hand hung in mid-air, saying, "She refused again. She wouldn't go back; she just wanted to leave."

"At that time, she discovered someone was watching her. As long as she returned to the bar, she wouldn't die, but she still wanted to leave. So, when the Red Wave Gang opened fire, she didn't even have anywhere to hide."

Lucifer stood in place and took a deep breath, saying, "Even now, I still feel that being able to go to Heaven by selflessly giving to others is truly too absurd. A person who has done evil for a lifetime, as long as they consider others at the end, can go to Heaven. How ridiculous this is!"

Shiler heard the hatred in Lucifer's tone, but soon, Lucifer changed his tone. He said, "However, when I became the person involved, when I became the person being considered, I had a very strange feeling."

"I don't understand. A woman I met by chance, I refused her pursuit and didn't provide her with any help. Even if she came back and begged me, I might just refuse. But she just wouldn't."

Lucifer took a deep breath. His tone contained more and more complex things. Shiler stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, saying:

"I guess you only discovered after falling from Heaven that humans are much more complex than you thought, right?"

Lucifer looked away and didn't answer. Shiler continued, "This is ordinary people. They are surprisingly bad, but also surprisingly good. If you want to punish their bad, you'd better be prepared to accept their good. Otherwise, it's very difficult for you to be an ordinary person."

"Do you think you are an ordinary person?" Lucifer asked.

"Of course. However, in front of you, besides 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 walked quickly to the car and opened the door. After Shiler sat in the car, he found that the car was not driving in the direction of the bar, so Shiler asked, "Where are you driving?"

"Chloe's daughter Beatrice is getting out of school. I'm going to pick her up. Chloe is busy with the case related to the Quinn Group and can't get away right now."

"By the way, how are you and her?" Shiler asked.

Lucifer was just about to answer when Shiler continued, "If you two have already successfully gotten together, then shouldn't you fulfill your previous promise?" ===== CHAPTER 665 =====
