Chapter 2016: The Past Is Like the Morning Star (Part 2)

Silence, the deepest silence.

It was not until the wind blew through the long corridor and blew the flickering candlelight that a slight sound was made in the boundless silence.

With a light "tap" sound, as loud as a bell, Schiller gently placed the wine glass on the table and sighed: "'There has never been a savior in this world, nor do we rely on gods and emperors. To create human happiness, we must rely on ourselves.'"

Lucifer still sat there with that expression, as if he was immersed in deep memories.

"Did he shock you?" Schiller asked, "Or was it actually the greatest humiliation for you? He made you angry and embarrassed, so you didn't want to mention him to anyone, including me."

Lucifer's fingers on the table slowly tightened, and the knuckles holding the handle of the wine glass began to turn white.

"He didn't wait for your or God's forgiveness, nor did he hate your inaction. He took it all for granted and was not disappointed in you at all."

"Arrogant, arrogant, arrogant." Schiller imitated Lucifer's tone and said, "What you and I can't accept the most is that we judge others by ourselves, but the other party is much more noble than us."

"Enough."

Schiller rarely said anything after Lucifer finished speaking, temporarily restraining his instinct to attack everyone equally, and kept silent with Lucifer.

"Or maybe he is a little more noble than you think."

After a long while, Lucifer finally spoke: "I don't know how many times I have complained to him about God. Maybe he has pieced together the truth from a few words, but he always keeps silent about it."

"I thought he didn't agree with my point of view, but I didn't know until then that he was telling me that when a person rejects you, it is the stupidest thing to stand there and wait for him to be kind."

"We can only fight for what we want. Giving up, waiting, and then resenting are essentially escapes. We must move forward, keep moving forward, and always face the problem before we can solve it."

"And what really shocked me is that he not only didn't expect me to be the savior of mankind, he was even arrogant enough to want to be my savior."

Lucifer turned his head and looked at Schiller again and said, "He hopes I can face the problem, so he brought you back here."

Schiller had an epiphany after a little thought.

At the beginning, Lucifer said to him, "Don't be afraid, kid." God's way of solving the problem was to take his soul away, which means that it was his soul that truly represented Lucifer's fate.

So only if he comes back, Lucifer can really solve the problem.

But Schiller suddenly thought of Lucifer, who had been an archangel, which means that after he came to the world that time, he returned to heaven and became an angel. Did he accept his fate?

Lucifer seemed to know what he was thinking and said, "No, he just took a step back and I took a step back, and we always get along like this."

"The Battle of the Fallen..."

Lucifer's face changed again immediately, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Originally, I didn't want to fight, I just sneaked into hell, but he kept encouraging me to fight the Battle of the Fallen, just to take my feather to borrow money while I was fighting!"

Schiller covered his forehead, and now he knew why Greed came out and said that he wanted Lucifer to fight World War II, and Lucifer would rush out without looking back.

In this way, the context of the matter is very clear.

Schiller speculated that it might be before the original Schiller committed suicide that he had discovered that the Soviet Union at that time was better not to be saved.

After he came to this world, he realized that this world had a more powerful force, and then he found that if he took a different approach, could he liberate all mankind in another way?

According to Lucifer's description of the power, this is not impossible. The worst case scenario is to create a paradise.

It is not difficult to feed humans. The means of production needed by all mankind are a drop in the bucket compared to the power that can destroy a universe. Don't worry about whether the raw materials for construction are borrowed or not. Just say that the final communism has not been achieved.

Schiller guessed that this might be the original Schiller's plan. According to this plan, he instigated Lucifer to fight the Fallen Angel War, and when the original owner of the feather was busy fighting, he took the feather to borrow money everywhere, and he never paid it back.

Lucifer's feather is indeed useful. After all, who doesn't know his first light? Coupled with the information about powerful existences that Lucifer provided to the original Schiller before, it is really a sure thing to borrow and a handful of hair to pluck.

But as the plan progressed, the original Schiller may have discovered some clues.

Simply put, the resistance to saving the world does not come from within the wall, but from outside the wall. As long as the story of Batman needs to continue, the big stage of Gotham cannot be demolished.

In other words, it is almost impossible to solve the unsolvable evil curse by directly fighting crime. As long as this universe is arranged as an ordinary universe with Gotham, Gotham cannot be saved.

In other words, even if the original Schiller really created a kingdom of God on earth, Gotham should still commit crimes, and the lower class people should suffer and be poor. Otherwise, where would there be so many criminals to be opponents of Batman?

Obviously, the original Schiller refused to accept this arrangement.

Schiller speculated that the original Schiller might have used the power originally used to create an ideal world to solve some things that were completely unsolvable before, such as Laughter and Doomsday.

But this alone should not be enough to consume so much power. Schiller feels that after he came to this universe, Gotham has successfully ushered in the light. It is most likely that the original Schiller used this power to break the rules. Giving Gotham the possibility of salvation.

In fact, Schiller had doubts before. Along the way, he felt that the Gotham he was in was completely simple, with almost no accidental events that turned everything bad like in most comic book plots.

In the comics, whenever Batman wants to do something to make Gotham a better place, he will definitely encounter all kinds of resistance and troubles, even the kind of extremely unlikely accidents that will never happen in terms of probability. , and then everything came to nothing. Although he is Batman and cannot save Gotham in the first place, Schiller has also been turned into the Joker after all, and there is no reason why he can save Gotham in the future, so everything goes surprisingly smoothly. I am afraid he is really the same as the original one. Schiller caused the big explosion in Gotham.

It is impossible for a strange person who can come up with such a shocking plan not to have investigated the so-called extremely evil curse before taking action. He must have mastered some information before he dared to take action.

Thinking about it this way, all the smooth progress of Gotham's transformation is not a coincidence. All coincidences are carefully planned.

At this time, Schiller thought of another thing, so he asked: "Could it be what God told Dr. Anatoly, the supreme being in another universe?"

Lucifer came back to his senses. He thought for a while and then said: "I don't know the situation of the universe you went to later, but since God sent you there, he should understand."

"Looks like they're close." Schiller tapped the armrest with his finger.

"What did that supreme being say to you?" Lucifer asked curiously.

"He said the doctor was still alive."

"Is that someone important to you?"

"So be it."

"Wait a minute." Lucifer suddenly thought of something. He stared at Schiller and said, "Is this some shocking news? It's only been a few years since you returned to this world. Is that doctor very old?"

Schiller shook his head and said nothing. Lucifer narrowed his eyes. After taking a sip of wine, he put the glass down and said, "You have successfully forced out the truth. Can't you tell me more about yourself?"

"This makes no sense." Schiller seemed to be thinking about something else, so his attention was a little distracted, and then he said: "You have returned to heaven now and become an angel. Is this also a manifestation of some kind of fate? "

"Yes, and it's still because of you." Lucifer sighed and said, "So to a certain extent, I can also understand God. Where he can't take care of it, everything operates according to rules, and I can escape. After all, it is limited and will eventually return to its original path.”

"But you can also choose to leave heaven now."

"Yes, but this may be another fate."

Lucifer continued to look at Schiller and asked with great interest: "What happened in the world you went to later, right? You thought the doctor was dead, so you were very interested in the news that he was still alive. "

Schiller did not deny it. He nodded and said: "The situation is complicated, but it is true, and I want to understand the reasons behind this."

"Let's hear it, maybe I can help."

"Forget it, this story is too long. How are the preparations for Doujie?"

Lucifer hesitated for a while, and found that there was really no way to get Schiller to speak, so he could only say in a low mood: "It's not bad, I will temporarily arrange the group of big guys you brought over in the redundant area."

"Can their illness be cured?"

"That kind of bug is not troublesome, but their physical strength is really amazing. Irving is trying to find a solution. It will be solved in a few days."

Schiller had already stood up, obviously not intending to stay any longer. Although he was not here to press for the truth today, didn't Lucifer tell it voluntarily?

But this truth is indeed not that amazing. In terms of probability, after an extremely small probability event happens to you, if there is a second one, it does not prove how lucky you are, but it proves that it is not at all. There must be a hidden secret behind this extremely unlikely event.

If Schiller's special abilities in his previous life can be explained by the fact that he is the chosen one, then the fact that time travel has happened to him proves that there must be something wrong with him.

Before he left Lucifer's palace, the two stood in front of the main entrance and looked at the blue earth not far away. Schiller let the umbrella in front of him support his hands, looked at Lucifer and said, "Will you miss him?"

"Sometimes." Lucifer said with emotion: "But I can always see him again from the subtle changes in the universe and the earth."

"In the eyes of gods, loss is not a temporary end, but a long excavation. It is an opportunity to find more traces of his existence in the future, a ticket to a new adventure."

"You finally got over the savior addiction." Schiller lowered his head and smiled and said: "You solved the Court of Owls in a way that stunned everyone."

Lucifer looked at the earth quietly, his eyes reflecting the pulsation of every earth vein and the prosperity of every city, and then he said: "You are right, the most unacceptable thing for us is the salvation of others. That makes We feel our own insignificance even more, and you have to bend down before you can look directly at the greatness of others.”

"But the most shocking thing is that compared with the great things they have done to influence us, they may be more proud of our changes."

"Because this process is not a kind of defeat and destruction, but the most beautiful thing that the human race can provide-inheritance."

"The most valuable thing in inheritance is not knowledge and skills." Schiller also looked at the earth and said.

"It's the infinite hope they projected on you. That is the real secret for us to get rid of the established fate and have infinite possibilities."
