Chapter 1081 Father and Son (X)

Mobius took Loki to a room at the end of the corridor. As soon as she entered, Loki saw an old-fashioned projector playing a movie-like picture.

Loki was not sure whether it was really a movie, because the projector was oddly shaped and there was no place to put the videotape on it. It looked similar to the machine that Helen had dismantled in the dressing room, full of steampunk-style mechanical and rough beauty.

What was out of tune with it was a table and two chairs in front of the wall where the movie was projected.

It was a modern industrial creation, with a bit of European luxury. From Loki's aesthetic taste, it was not consistent with the style of the entire room and the building.

But Mobius seemed to like this set of tables and chairs very much. He asked Loki to sit opposite him and brought her a drink. He said happily: "The tables and chairs in the conversation room broke some time ago. We customized them elsewhere. They are much more comfortable than the original cold benches."

After Loki sat down on the chair, she found that the two of them were blocking the front of the projector. The outlines of the two people appeared in the projection on the wall, and the light from the side was also a bit dazzling.

Loki saw that half of Mobius' face looked unusually bright under such light and shadow, and even the outlines of his facial features were blurred, while the other half of his face sank into deep darkness.

Loki's intuition moved, and she felt that this might be foreshadowing something.

Loki looked down at the drink in the cup. It was not transparent and looked like coffee. She took a sip and found that the taste was between coffee and tea, slightly bitter and fragrant. Loki was a little thirsty, so she drank the whole cup of water in one breath.

"You are really different from other Loki." Mobius said, "They won't drink drinks they don't understand like you do. They always think that we will poison the drinks."

"They are right..." Loki looked at Mobius and said, "But they are also wrong. They are smart, but stupid."

"You suddenly appeared in my life in this way and announced that you would arrest and judge me. So, I should be wary of you and suspect that everything you handed me is a trap."

"But their stupidity is that if you need to use poison to deal with me, you don't have to come up with so many procedures before. The staff and the strange machine you use are enough to set up imperceptible traps for me in my daily life."

Mobius leaned forward and stared at the beautiful face of the black-haired girl. After a while, he said, "You are the most beautiful Loki I have ever seen..."

"This is not flattery or compliment. The temperament revealed in you tells me that you are worthy of the identity of a god. You have an innate nobility and self-confidence, which is exactly what other Loki are like. "But they act more arrogant than me, don't they?" Loki touched the elbow of his other arm with one hand, leaned back in his chair and said, "They are arrogant and aggressive, and often say "lowly and humble human beings", "weak ants", "inflexible fools", like a complete clown..." Seeing Mobius's expression gradually become surprised, Loki slowly smiled and said, "I guess, I said the words you prepared in your mind just now, the words you wanted me to face the weaknesses in my human nature ..."

"But unfortunately, you came too late. A psychiatrist who is a thousand times more vicious than you has already scolded me." Loki blinked and said, "I can even tell you why I became like this."

"I want to use arrogance to cover up my inferiority, use a sharp shell to protect my fragile heart, and use high self-esteem to cover up low self-recognition. The stronger I show, the easier it is to collapse..."

Loki sighed. Now, her appearance is no longer as elegant and neat as when she just changed into a woman, but in the struggle with Helen. It has become a little messy and decadent.

But this is full of another kind of beauty, fragile, alienated, but cold and deadly.

"Do you have cigarettes?" Loki looked at Mobius and asked.

"You are a mother, you don't want to meet your daughter with the smell of cigarettes." Mobius shook his head and said, "It might choke her."

"Don't joke, I am a mother, but you are not. You have neither experience nor understanding, so don't think of representing me." Loki covered her mouth with her hand and coughed twice. Her hands were as cold as snow under the light.

Mobius sighed helplessly and took out a pack of cigarettes from his arms. Loki leaned forward, took the cigarette and put it in his mouth, asking Mobius to light it for her.

When Loki came closer, Mobius could even see the shadow cast by her eyelashes and the light of the projector shining in her pupils, a flash of light.

After taking a puff of cigarette, Loki leaned back on the chair again, looked up at the ceiling, and asked, "Have you received many Lokis here?"

"Yes, and none of them confessed like you." Mobius did not smoke, but put the cigarette box back in his pocket.

"So, I have to persuade them here and let them repent for their crimes..."

"It seems that you are still a priest?" Loki smiled, and the madness and publicity in her smile made Mobius stunned for a moment. She was indeed Loki, but she was not like Loki at all.

"So, how did you make them repent?" Loki straightened up and asked curiously: "I don't understand, what can I repent for..."

Mobius didn't say anything, but took out a small machine and pressed it on the projector, and the image began to play on the wall.

The first scene that appeared was the battle scene. Loki saw that he fought side by side with Thor, but soon, the scene changed, and Frigga fell to the ground, and the murderer was Loki.

When the scene of Frigga's death was played, Mobius focused on observing Loki's expression, but did not see any shock or sadness in her expression.

"Don't you want to ask something?" Mobius took the initiative to speak. He had never seen such a Loki. Facing the scene of her mother's death, she actually asked him to take the initiative to bring up the topic.

"For those Lokis who have never seen this scene, it is indeed shocking enough to break their defenses. But, for me, it is far from enough." Loki lightly tapped the ash with his fingertips.

She stood up, leaned forward, almost close to Mobius' ear, and whispered to him: "I have seen it countless times."

Mobius widened his eyes, tilted his head slightly to look at Loki's profile, and said: "This is impossible! This is the future of Asgard in a certain universe timeline..."

"In that case, you don't have to show the image." Loki shook his head and said: "You just need to tell me that this is the scene of Ragnarok, that's it, we will all die in this disaster, including Frigga."

"Why are you so indifferent?" Mobius looked into his eyes and said: "Every Loki I met loves his mother deeply. When he learned that he would kill his mother with his own hands in Ragnarok, he would express repentance for his crimes..."

"That's because they feel that they are powerless to prevent Ragnarok from happening." Loki straightened his body, sat back in his chair, and put He tilted his head to one side, looked at the picture on the wall and said, "Because at that time, I still felt that I was a helpless little prince, and I firmly believed that this bleak future would definitely happen, and no one could save me."

Loki closed his eyes, sighed softly and said, "I will not feel sad for a future that will never happen. The future you played is just a crappy movie to me."

"What are you looking forward to?" Mobius asked, "Iron Man? Do you want to see his ending?"

"I said, I've seen it." Loki's expression seemed a little impatient, and she continued, "Every time I come to the universe, all the future about me will be played in front of my eyes, including how Asgard ushered in Ragnarok, how half of the members of the Avengers were destroyed..."

"You peeked at the timeline?" Mobius narrowed his eyes.

"I just stand higher and see farther than other Loki." Loki also looked at Mobius and said, "Since you are in the multiverse, you should understand better than me what 'upgrade' means..."

"You upgraded?" Mobius widened his eyes in shock.

"No, I can only say that I went up to take a look, or more than one look." Loki shook his head and said, "Don't be surprised, I don't have the power to match it, otherwise, you wouldn't be able to bring me here."

Mobius sighed, he knew that he might not be able to get any advantage from Loki today.

The employees of the Time Administration can only check the future of certain timelines within their scope of responsibility, but according to Loki, he should have seen the future of all timelines in all universes, and he is the examiner with all the answers.

"The part within the scope of responsibility ends here." Mobius looked into Loki's eyes. There was a hint of hesitation in his expression, but he still said: "Next, I want to ask you a question personally. You can choose to answer or not. In any case, thank you for your cooperation."

"Ask it." Loki lowered her head, and the broken hair on her forehead blocked her eyes. When the smoke dispersed, she looked more decadent.

"When you saw your mother die, did you really not feel sad at all?" Mobius straightened up and said, "This is not a movie, but a real thing that happened in a certain universe..."

"You have met so many Lokis and heard so many stories about Asgard, but you still haven't figured out our relationship?" Loki looked at Mobius through the gap in his hair. Seeing his confused expression, he could only sigh and said, "Okay, let me start from the beginning."

"Who do you think is Frigga's favorite child?"

"Isn't it you?" Mobius asked with some doubt.

"Maybe now, but once upon a time, Frigga's favorite child was Hela, her eldest daughter, the eldest princess of Asgard." Loki slowly closed his eyes, and Mobius saw a trace of sadness in his expression.

Loki looked up at the ceiling, as if he was lost in memories. After a while, he slowly spoke:

"This is the beginning of the tragedy of the crown's life. Only in this matter, what Odin, Thor and I did was consistent. We all hope that she can come out of this painful tragedy."

"But unfortunately, Frigga has never forgotten her daughter."
