Chapter 1083 Father and Son (XII)

"After talking about my business, let's talk about you." Loki put out the cigarette, took another sip of water, and said, "In fact, I still don't understand what you are doing, and what is the so-called cosmic timeline?"

Mobius paused for a moment. He first looked up at Loki, and then said, "I can tell you some common sense, but you'd better not try to trick me..."

Loki leaned back, rested his elbows on the armrest, supported his head with his hands, and said in a very relaxed posture, "Please, I know more about the future of each timeline than you do. Maybe you have something else to ask me?"

Suddenly, Mobius's expression froze, and he was really moved by what Loki said, so he looked sideways at the door and found that the guard was standing far away from the door, and no one else came over. He lowered his voice and said:

"You have to understand that we are responsible for many things that are beyond our control. I hope you don't cause trouble for yourself or for us..."

"Don't worry, I understand everything . "Loki leaned forward and lowered her voice and said, "I even know better than you do."

Mobius glanced to the side and said, "If you were not indeed different from those ignorant pranksters, I would never have talked to you for so long..."

Mobius sighed, drank a sip of water, and then said, "The so-called universe timeline is actually a timeline, but different universes have different development directions and different timelines."

"Most universes have three timelines of the past, present, and future, or in other words, they are actually different points on a line, but for the convenience of management, what has happened, what is happening, and what will happen will be recorded in different categories. "

"Regarding the crime you committed, to put it bluntly, it is actually that every time you travel back to the past, you will add a point on the past timeline, and this point will be classified as having happened, and thus listed as a separate possibility. "

"But I didn't do anything on the past timeline." Loki said with some doubts.

"It has nothing to do with whether you have done anything." Mobius shook his head and said, "Don't say you have traveled back in time. Even if you just upgrade to the universe and look at the past timeline, a new possibility will arise."

"Your behavior may cause changes in what is happening now, and may also cause changes in what will happen in the future, and may even lead to the birth of a new universe..."

"In the multiverse, most of the single universes are born in this way. The same person makes different choices at the present time, which will give birth to different universes and different timelines. Infinite timelines represent infinite possible universes..."

"But the universe timeline is not It didn't exist at the beginning." Mobius shook his head again and began to explain in detail:

"In the beginning, all universes had only one timeline, which we called the 'holy timeline', or simply the 'timeline'. Because the sacred timeline was broken, the timeline of the multiverse was generated. In order to distinguish it from the sacred timeline, we called the current timeline the 'cosmic timeline'. "

"And the so-called sacred timeline is actually a single possibility. Everything develops step by step. Any behavior that jumps out of the sacred timeline and creates other possibilities is considered a crime. This is the original definition of 'time criminal'. "

"And the scene of Ragnarok that I played for you before is what should have happened in the sacred timeline, and it is also It is what should have happened in most of the universes that are now divided into universe timelines. "

Loki nodded, indicating that she had understood this part. She looked at Mobius and asked: "So now, what is the Time Anomaly Management Bureau responsible for managing?"

"It is still managing timelines." Mobius took a sip of water and said: "But now, our job is not to prevent the emergence of other timelines, but to ensure that the universe timeline is in a stable state of balance as a whole."

"You can think of the universe as a water tank, and the timelines that can be contained in the universe are like water."

"The capacity of the water tank is limited. Some universes, due to different reasons, are heading towards destruction, which is equivalent to scooping out water, while some universes are not Different people made different choices and created new universes, which is equivalent to pouring water into it. "

"What we have to do is to ensure that the speed of scooping out water is basically the same as the speed of pouring water. We can neither let the water reach the bottom nor let the water overflow. This is our current mission."

"And the reason why we arrested you is mainly because you are going back in time in a short period of time with high intensity, which is equivalent to pouring water into the jar continuously. If we don't stop you and let you pour like this, how many universes will be destroyed before the water can be scooped out?"

"Wait a minute! I have a very important question!" Luo Ji interrupted him and asked, "If you don't care, is the original speed of pouring and scooping water in the universe balanced?"

Mobius's expression froze again. He didn't speak for a long time. After a long time, he wiped his mouth awkwardly and said, "Very good, you asked the key question. The answer is... we don't know either."

Seeing Loki staring at him, Mobius lowered his head and said, "I'm just an employee. My company told me that if we don't maintain it, the universe will be destroyed, so we will go. As for whether it will really be destroyed, no one knows."

Loki sighed. She had guessed this result. In order to get more information from Mobius, she revealed a little important information: "Did the universe change in the past period of time?"

Mobius showed a shocked expression again. This time, he stared at Loki, as if he didn't know her. Like her, Loki pretended to be profound and said: "I told you a long time ago that I know more than you."

"In that case..." Mobius showed a very tangled expression on his face. He gritted his teeth, exhaled, and said: "In fact, I will tell you so much, and it is also related to this matter."

He took a deep breath, looked at Loki, and said: "Before, I swear to you that I will never let the things you said to me leave this house. Now, you must also promise me..."

"You have no other choice." Loki refused to respond to his words at all, but just said: "I am sure that you can't find Loki who knows more than me."

Mobius was silent for a long time before he slowly said: "The key to the matter lies in the boss of this company. "

"Before you came, you should have seen that there are statues of him everywhere. We don't know his name, but we know that he is the director of the Time Management Bureau, our immediate superior?"

"A long time ago, when the sacred timeline had not yet collapsed, the Time Management Bureau was directly managed by the director. At that time, our methods were much more cruel than they are now."

"Later, one day, the sacred timeline suddenly collapsed. This timeline turned into countless timelines, and the Time Management Bureau also became countless, as did the director and employees."

"No, perhaps, only the employees can be called split, and the director..." Mobius shook his head and said, "Well, this is just our speculation, but Lavona and I both speculated that the director might have had Countless..."

"In short, after the Time Administration Bureau split, each multiverse has a Time Administration Bureau and a director. These directors may be the same person, or they may be completely different, but what is certain is that their styles of doing things are not the same..."

Mobius' fingertips suddenly began to tremble. He said, "You should be glad that you were not arrested when the sacred timeline just collapsed. At that time, the means our director asked us to use were much more cruel than now..."

"He asked us to take the initiative to reorganize the timeline. The amount of water poured in and the amount of water scooped out must be exactly the same. If there is a mistake, then we will affect the people in the universe, create new possibilities, or directly destroy the universe..."

"Can you do it?" Loki asked.

"I can only say that his power is much stronger than you think." Mobius shook his head and said, "We can't do it ourselves, but he will provide us with a variety of equipment, some of which are even beyond your imagination."

"For example?" Loki raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Did you see the staff in B15's hand? "Mobius lowered his voice: "That is specifically for your Asgard gods. It is not a staff at all, and it is not magic. The golden light you see is Ragnarok."

"What do you mean?" Loki's face finally became serious.

"The director imprisoned the Ragnarok that descended on a certain universe in the staff, which can easily kill all the gods of Asgard. In fact, many crazy Lokis who came here and disobeyed discipline were killed in this way." Mobius' eyes seemed a little dazed, and he was obviously unwilling to mention this period of time.

"Even being killed is already a good result..." Mobius lowered his head, and his voice became a little dry: "Before that, we will use torture, which is also the main disagreement between us and the director..."

"One day, we arrested Loki from one of the universes, who was also a woman. "Mobius's tone became more and more trembling, and he continued: "That was still a little girl, almost like your daughter. The director said she was very important and wanted us to torture her..."

Loki's pupils shrank, and Mobius lowered his head and continued: "We don't want to do this. I, B15, Lavona and many employees who have been involved in this case are unwilling to do this."

"You have met Judge Lavona before. She is a very serious person and hates time offenders. This is related to her personal experience. Therefore, she has always advocated strict and severe trials..."

"But that time, she also hesitated. We couldn't do anything to such a young girl, let alone torture her. "

Mobius showed a trace of struggle in his eyes, took a sip of water, and then said: "So, for the first time, we thought of a way to let her go..."

"Then, did the director not cause you any trouble?" Loki asked.

"That's exactly what I want to ask you." Mobius raised his head, looked at Loki with a puzzled look and asked:

"What happened to the universe we are in? Why did the director say that he went on a business trip to another universe for a while and never came back?"

"Uh..." Loki showed a strange expression, and Mobius stretched out his hand, motioning him to continue.

The corners of Loki's mouth slowly rose, as if she was holding back a laugh. After a while, under the gaze of Mobius, she slowly said:

"Will...his house be demolished?"
