Chapter 1118 Father and Son (38)

Loki held Helen and left the Asgard Commercial Street almost in a panic.

On the way to the Asgard, he was in a trance, and his ears were filled with the sighs of the Asgardians, praising the second princess who was as bright as the moonlight, and insulting the damn Kree.

Loki couldn't understand how things could turn out like this. When he was in Asgard, no one liked him, but after he died, he became the most perfect princess in Asgard's history.

Although Loki understood people's hearts better than others, he had not systematically studied psychology and sociology. If he had an educational background in this area, he would know that creatures with human nature and wisdom always have a common characteristic, which can be roughly summarized as the "social will deification effect".

People are always full of all kinds of beautiful fantasies about things they don't have. They have never really owned such things, but they are more active in praising such things to others than those who have such things. In essence, they are praising the perfect image in their minds.

This in itself is also a behavior of seeking value recognition: I beautify something in my mind into what I think is the most perfect, and if other people also think it is very perfect, it proves that he agrees with my values ​​and we have common topics.

This is the behavior of people seeking common values ​​in social interaction.

However, if you praise something that many people have and has mixed reviews, you will have a sense of insecurity that you may not be recognized.

So, in order to gain recognition and seek the security of value recognition, it is the safest and easiest to find recognition from others to find something that is already dead to be deified and praised.

It is impossible to have other new expressions of things, no matter how you praise it, it will not be a bad performance that breaks people's fantasy.

The part of people's hearts that craves for a sense of security is constantly telling them that choosing this topic is the most appropriate and safe.

Going a little deeper, from a social perspective, the relationship between people develops from a common fantasy.

When this common fantasy has been popularized to the vast majority of people, it is very likely to be deified in many ways to ensure that people have enough topics to talk about when they develop relationships.

In essence, when the common fantasy reaches this level of universality, deification is inevitable.

This is not the will of the person himself, nor the will of ordinary people who need topics, but the social common will generated by human nature.

When Sylvie was alive, she might have been just a frail princess, Thor's sister, Odin's youngest daughter, but such a poor personality could not provide enough topics for the Asgardians.

Therefore, her image was repeatedly beautified, both beautiful and kind, both gentle and strong.

Only in this way can two Asgardians who meet for the first time, or other members of the nine kingdoms, start with "The beautiful second princess is really miserable" and end with "Damn Kree" when they start a topic.

The reason why they didn't use Thor as a topic was because Thor was the actual ruler now. It was easy to touch taboos with her as the topic center. At the same time, the living Queen Thor could only accept praise, but the dead second princess Loki could spread gossip.

Although people like to create gods, they like to pull gods down from the altar. The more perfect the image they make up, the more fascinating the gossips circulating in the market are.

The perfect image can be used to open up topics, but wild history and gossip are easier to bring people closer. In essence, people dare not disrespect the living, but the dead are okay.

After the dazed Loki returned to the Asgard, Thor was still waiting for him in the reception room. Sylvie had been taken back by the servants to rest. At this time, Thor no longer had a gentle temperament. She sat silently in the main seat, like a majestic statue.

"I guess you are now full of doubts. Why is Loki in this universe like this?" Thor's tone was a little cold when he spoke. She said:

"Because war needs a flag. The more perfect the second princess who was killed is, the more the Kree people deserve to die."

Loki stood behind the table in a daze. Thor stood up with his hands on the armrests. When Thor stood in front of Loki, the ends of his long golden hair brushed his cheek.

Queen Thor has gorgeous features, but what is most impressive is that there is always a suffocating murderous intent in her eyes, as if the years of fighting have turned her heart into a knife.

"I need my subjects and generals to fight for me bravely. I need them to be full of grief and indignation and die generously." Thor turned around with his back to Loki and said:

"They will do this, not because they really recognize Loki..." Thor shook his head slowly and said, "When my sister disappeared, she was just a child. What charm can be seen?"

"6 It's just because I said that she is the perfect princess, so everyone must say so. I am their monarch. They are not admiring Loki, but fearing me."

Loki came back to his senses slightly, as if he had guessed what Thor was going to say, and he set his eyes on Thor's back.

Thor walked back to the chair and sat down, then said: "You should have experienced that day, Odin called the two of us over and announced that I would be the only heir, and you were nothing."

"That day, the question you didn't dare to ask, I can ask for you, if Thor is the heir, then what about you? Thor will get the throne, then what about you? Thor will be respected by everyone in Asgard, then what about you?"

Loki looked straight at Thor. The queen in front of him was very different from his brother.

The Thor he knew would never say such words to him. He was not so cruel. He knew it was a knife, but he still had to show it to see if there was blood on it. Such a Thor made him feel scared.

However, this queen who had experienced many hardships and fought for a lifetime had long abandoned her useless tenderness. She just looked at Loki with a mocking look and said, "You didn't dare to ask Odin's questions, but I can ask for you. What is the difference between you and me?"

"You have spent half your life pursuing these questions, but the answers may simply make you feel stupid." Thor tilted his head and looked at Loki and said, "The answer is that there is actually no difference between us. They just fawn on him because they are afraid of Odin."

"When the king they fear says that a person is good, then he is good even if he is not good, perfect even if he is not perfect, and can be an heir even if he is not worthy of being an heir... Authority is enough to erase all shortcomings."

"Why don't you think about it carefully?" Thor smiled and said, "At that time, was I really better than you? Are we really that different? Is this difference really so big that the Asgardians ignored and discriminated against you, but praised me in every way?"

Loki's expression stiffened for a moment, and then he fell into memories again, but soon, the change in his expression showed that this was not the case. ,

How much difference can be seen between two children of similar age? Even if they have different focuses in personality and martial arts, the two are inseparable, doing bad things together and doing good things together. How much factual basis do others have to make such different judgments about them?

"Loki, come here." Thor shouted at him. Loki stood still, but seeing the expression on Thor's face gradually changing, the muscle movement from sunny to cloudy made Loki feel his heart gradually sink, so he instinctively took a step and walked in front of Thor.

Thor sat relaxed on the chair, but Loki's body stood straight and looked very stiff. Therefore, the height difference did not reverse the status of the two at all, so Thor could still say the next words sharply.

"We grew up in the same family and look completely different, but we are actually very similar. Don't think I'm reckless, careless, or biased. You're not much better."

Loki opened his eyes slightly and was about to open his mouth to refute, but Thor looked at him and said, "I was lost in the praise of the Asgardians, but haven't you been lost in their indifference and exclusion?"

Thor stood up again and faced Loki, his eyes piercing into his eyes like a knife.

"Why didn't your smart, calm, logical brain remind you that their prejudices were not based on facts, and why didn't it stop you from becoming the same as their prejudices?"

"They said you were too introverted, so you became more introverted. They said you were physically weak, so you gave up martial arts completely. They said you had a bad character, so you made more meaningless pranks..."

"Loki..." Thor gently reached out his hand, touched Loki's cheek, and looked at him and said, "Are you taking revenge on them, or using this as an excuse to indulge yourself?"

"I can't get anything anyway, so why can't I do this?" Loki's eyes gradually cooled down, and he stared straight into Thor's eyes and said, "What can I get if I become lively, practice martial arts, or learn to follow the rules?"

"Then I learn to calm down, recognize myself, and stop indulging in honor. What can you get from it?" Thor's eyes curved and said, "Anyway, whether I change or not, the throne is mine and will never be yours. So what qualifications do you have to laugh at me, you are a reckless fool?"

You damned "Loki bared his teeth, and the next second, Thor pressed his hand on his cheek, and with a little force, his head was pushed aside. "

Loki tilted his head and stood there silently, his black hair covering half of his face, while Thor walked behind the chair, put his hands on the back of the chair and said, "You are not the first Loki to come here, but it seems that you are the most special one."

"That's why I say this to you, Loki... Loki..."

Thor's voice suddenly became low, with a kind of sadness and tenderness that did not match her temperament, but when she lowered her eyebrows, those ostentatious flames gradually extinguished, leaving only a dry, firewood-like sound.

"Don't care about them. Don't care about how those ministers who fear power but not virtue think of you. They are not one with us, and you are not friends with them."

"Wash away all the traces they left on you, take off all the labels they put on you, let them fear you, not recognize you."

"Don't be happy about their approval, but let them be grateful for your approval."

"If you want to step on their heads, you must first feel that you have stepped on their heads, or even disdain to step on their heads."

"And this is the only way for you to gain power."
