Chapter 647 A Wonderful Night on the West Coast (Part 2)
The psychedelic luster of the cocktail always looks extra gorgeous under the lighting of the bar. The multi-layered gradient blue is like the ocean under the glacier, which makes people feel the bone-chilling coldness at a glance.
This complements the warm night in Los Angeles. There is no cold rain like Gotham, nor the noise of the metropolis. There is only electronic psychedelic music with the style of the West Coast, which is blown in by the sea breeze and mixed with the classical music on the bar, which is particularly beautiful.
When the bottom of another wine glass hit the bar counter, it made a crisp sound. Through the translucent wine liquid, Lucifer's face can be seen on the glass. He picked up the glass and took a sip of wine.
"Do you know?" Lucifer put down his glass, looked into Schiller's eyes, and said, "Some people come to me to get rid of the disaster of death, some come to me to become rich and famous, and some come to me to gain strength or power..."
"And you, you are the first person to come to me for the treatment of seasickness."
"I said, I am not ordinary seasickness..."
"Is there any extraordinary seasickness in this world???" Lucifer took a deep breath, and seemed to have endured to the extreme. After a while, he said: "Okay, I will act as a doctor. What symptoms do you have? Tell me."
"Dizziness, nausea, cold sweats, weakness..."
"Isn't this ordinary seasickness?!!!"
Just when Schiller was about to say something, Lucifer stretched out a hand and said, "My dear Pope, if you really have nothing to do, go and help me develop some believers, find those who love work, because I don't want to hear them complain about how hard their work is..."
"Do you think I love work?" Schiller asked.
Lucifer sighed, took another sip of wine and said, "Yes, the first request you made when you came to me was to let me extend your annual leave to 36 days..."
He supported his temple with his hand and said, "If the Pope of God prayed to him for a longer annual leave, would he be speechless like me..."
"Do you know? In the 16 sentences you just said, a total of 8 sentences mentioned your father. I encountered such a situation once. My suggestion is that you need to see a psychiatrist."
"Aren't you a psychiatrist?"
"I am your Pope, and I am on vacation now."
With a "clang", the wine glass was slapped on the table by Lucifer. He said, "I found that since you lost your memory, you have become more and more annoying..."
"Then why don't you fire me?"
"I..." Lucifer squeezed the wine glass, took a few deep breaths slowly, and then said, "Why do you... Don't go to the Vatican, be the Pope for God?"
"You know? This is actually very rare." Schiller also took a sip of wine, looked into Lucifer's eyes and said: "Because most people like to call their mothers when they are in pain."
With a "pop", the wine glass broke, and Lucifer pointed to the door and said: "Get out! Don't let me see you again!"
"Don't worry, let's not talk about my seasickness, let's talk about you. The female singer just now is your friend. How did you meet?"
Lucifer snorted coldly, but still replied: "Her name is Delilah. She was originally a bar resident singer and hostess. I think she has a good voice and some creative ability, so I introduced her to the boss of a record company. Unexpectedly, her first album was a great success and is now popular on the West Coast..."
"You can see that she is troubled, so why don't you use mind reading to see what's going on?" Schiller asked.
"I said, I don't like to use this ability on my friends."
"I think you must feel troubled. If you see his troubles, you should help solve them, otherwise you will feel guilty about friendship, so you just turn a blind eye to it."
"I just want to be an ordinary person!" Lucifer knocked the table with his cup and said, "Can ordinary people use mind reading? Can't they maintain friendships? Why can't I?"
"Of course you can..." Schiller took a sip of wine, lowered his eyes, looked at the bottom of the wine in the cup, and said inexplicably: "But if you want to enjoy pure friendship like ordinary people, you must be prepared to accept regrets like ordinary people, otherwise..."
Lucifer was about to ask what he meant when he heard a "bang" outside the door of the bar, followed by screams and commotion.
He quickly put down the glass and rushed out the door, and then saw a figure lying in a pool of blood. It was Delilah who had just left the bar.
Lucifer rushed forward and hugged Delilah's bloody body. At this time, the female singer had stopped breathing. After all, it was impossible for any ordinary person to survive after being shot at close range.
Lucifer stretched out his hand and placed it on Delilah's chest to stop her from bleeding, and then let her lie flat on the ground in this state.
Lucifer took a deep breath, stood up, and began to look around for the murderer. Suddenly, he saw a suspicious car opposite. He rushed over and found that the murderer was dead.
Lucifer stretched out his hand and pinched the murderer's neck. In an instant, the murderer's body bounced up and began to breathe heavily. Lucifer pulled his soul out of hell and put it back into the body. He was resurrected.
"Why did you kill Delilah?" Lucifer asked.
"I'm just... I'm just a hired gunman..." The killer seemed to be frightened by the scene of hell, but then he saw a more terrifying scene. The illusion of the devil flashed on Lucifer's face, and then the killer returned to hell again.
When Lucifer walked back to Delilah's body, Schiller was already squatting there. Lucifer also squatted down. Schiller checked Delilah's body and asked, "Why don't you just revive her?"
Lucifer looked around and said, "Delilah is a well-known female singer. Many people saw her being shot just now. If I revive her, it will not only bring trouble to me, but she will definitely be entangled."
"You can completely erase everyone's memory, but you just don't want to do that." Schiller stood up again, walked aside, and picked up the handbag thrown by Delilah.
After opening it, Schiller found a bag of white powder inside. After opening the bag and smelling it lightly, Schiller knew that it was some kind of drug.
At this point, Schiller had basically recalled the plot of the American TV series Lucifer.
There is nothing to say about this American TV series. In short, it is the trivial and messy things that Lucifer encountered in the world, plus the family affairs of God's family.
The specific emotional drama is similar to the plot of Twilight. The heroine has the ability to weaken Lucifer, and then Lucifer sees that the woman has caught my attention. Then there are the bloody plots that the public likes to see.
The only problem is that the Lucifer Schiller met is not like the one in the TV series. The Lucifer in the TV series does not have the ability to resurrect other people at will. Obviously, the Lucifer Morningstar in front of him is the "one person under God" in the comics.
Schiller does not think that anyone can weaken the ability of such an existence, but if Lucifer is still weakened by the heroine in the play like in the play, it can only mean that he is tempted by beauty and wants to pick up girls.
After the police car arrived, two figures got out of the police car, a man and a woman walked to the body, and at this time, Lucifer had returned to the bar. Obviously, he did not want to have anything to do with the police.
Soon, Schiller also walked back to the bar and sat down. He leaned against the bar and looked at the scene outside the bar. Two police officers were searching for the body. Schiller looked back at Lucifer's eyes. Sure enough, he was attracted by her beauty.
The female police officer was indeed very beautiful and looked mature, with a gentle and sexy temperament. However, Lucifer did not show any weakening state. He just wiped the cup while looking at the situation outside the door.
For a murder case that happened at the door of the bar, of course, the first thing to do was to go to the bar to find witnesses. Lucifer and Schiller, who had been staying near the bar with the best view, naturally became the best subjects for questioning.
The female police officer pushed the door open and walked in first. When she saw the two people near the bar, she was stunned for a moment, then walked in quickly, shook hands with Schiller and said, "You should be Professor Rodriguez, right? The famous psychologist?"
"Yes, I am. Do you know me?"
"Of course, there is also a photo of you in the criminal psychology book we studied, but you look younger than the book."
"Yes, I thought they made me look too old before." Schiller shook hands with the female police officer and asked, "What's your name? Are you a detective here to investigate the case?"
"My name is K. Roy Decker, you can just call me Chloe. I am indeed the detective in charge of this murder case. I want to ask you if you have seen anyone suspicious? "
Lucifer was about to speak, but Schiller said, "No, it happened too suddenly. We heard a gunshot, and when we got to the door, the lady had already..."
Chloe obviously trusted Schiller more, so she hurriedly asked, "Can you remember the exact time of the gunshot?"
"There happened to be a wall clock there. I remember it should be around 00:03, with an error of no more than two minutes." Schiller answered fluently.
At this time, the male police officer also came in, and his attitude was not so good. He said, "Did you see any suspicious people in the bar?"
His tone was rather cold and hard, which made Schiller frown. The female police officer Chloe touched the male police officer's arm and said, "Don't be like this, Dan, this is the famous psychologist, Professor Rodriguez..."
"According to our preliminary investigation just now, the murderer should be the person sitting in the car. We found guns and bullets in his car, and a large amount of drugs."
"We found exactly the same drugs in the victim's bag. Therefore, there may be a drug transaction between them. It may be that the transaction caused a conflict, which led to the other party killing..."
Schiller looked at Chloe, and Chloe said with a somewhat unnatural look: "This is Dan, my colleague..."
"Are you just colleagues?" Lucifer asked.
Chloe glanced at him and didn't answer. She pulled Dan aside and the two began to talk in a low voice, while Schiller leaned on the bar. He approached Lucifer and whispered:
"I guess you want to tell the female police officer the clues you got from the murderer before, and show her your specialness. You want to participate in this case with a reasonable identity, create a series of strange events, make her both scared and novel, and finally create a crisis to show your strength..."
Lucifer slowly turned his eyes to the other side, not looking at Schiller. Schiller smiled and said:
"The last person who did this was Constantine."
Lucifer snorted coldly and said:
"Guess who he learned it from?"
