Chapter 1644: No Time to Die (Part 7)
Loki lay on the bed with her eyes half closed. She turned her head away and dared not look at Frigga's expression. She still felt a little guilty, but she felt a little happy when she heard Frigga scold Odin. She was very entangled in the two emotions, just like those who listened to Schiller in the past.
If someone still falls for a trap that has been set up thousands of times, it naturally shows that it is ingenious. Loki thought so. She knew very well that what Schiller provided her would definitely be a bad trick, but she couldn't help but want to see the effect of this trick.
The reason was that although Loki began to consider the health of her offspring, she still faced a problem that needed to be solved at this stage, that is, Frigga's urging to get married. Loki didn't really want to participate in that ridiculous blind date show, and she had to have an excuse to refuse it.
At this time, Nick had already learned about Schiller's return from the Land of the Dead, but he was very dissatisfied with Schiller for letting Natasha absent from work for such a long time. He asked Schiller to pay the female agent's lost wages before he could take back their bodies, and promised that he would not die so hastily next time, at least he had to arrange his work before he died.
Schiller was too lazy to argue with Nick, he went straight to Loki and asked Loki to use illusion to deceive the SHIELD security device and steal their bodies. Loki was worried about how to refuse the blind date, so he arranged a deal for the two of them. Schiller gave Loki advice, and Loki helped Schiller get the bodies back.
The bodies were taken back smoothly, but the advice Schiller gave Loki can only be said to have a kind of beauty that disregarded the physical and mental health of the Asgard royal family.
Its content is very simple, to put it bluntly, it is pretending to be sick. Anyone who is ten years old or older will know that their parents actually see through it but don't say it, but Loki will never give up any opportunity to test whether others love her.
So, after returning to Asgard, Loki began to work hard, taking care of political affairs, internal affairs and military affairs. On the one hand, she was watching hundreds of transformation and restructuring projects within Asgard, and on the other hand, she went to the ring star area every day to participate in various social activities representing Asgard.
After being busy for a few days, Loki fell ill. Strictly speaking, it could not be considered as pretending to be sick. She was really exhausted.
When a person is sick because of work, his relatives should not blame him too much even if they are angry. On the one hand, they should take care of other people's emotions. On the other hand, Loki worked hard for Asgard, and it would not be good to say harsh words. Thor was trapped in such emotions, feeling distressed and angry, but unable to say anything.
Frigga and Odin even put the blind date and marriage behind their minds and began to study Loki's physique with all their strength.
"Loki is indeed born with some deficiencies." When leaving Loki's room and walking towards his own palace, Odin cleared his throat and spoke first: "When I picked him up, his size was much smaller than that of a normal frost giant newborn, and his mental strength was not fully developed."
"But you have never thought of strengthening his physique in all these years of growth!" Frigga became more and more angry. She walked forward quickly with her staff, not even looking back at her husband, but said in a tone of annoyance and self-blame: "It's also my fault. Loki has never been sick, so I thought it was okay. Who knew that now..."
"She has been working too crazy recently. You should talk to Thor about this, and then I will ask my old friends in the dwarves to see if they can find any items to improve the weak physique from the root."
The couple discussed for a long time but did not come up with any good way to improve quickly. They can only recuperate slowly, but at least in the last few hundred years, their focus will be on Loki's health rather than her marriage.
On the other hand, the ultimate tug of war between Thanos and Death continues, but since Thanos, the cook, stopped reading recipes and started studying psychology, the relationship between the two has undergone some subtle changes.
When Thanos was a teenager, he was deeply influenced by Death. For a long time, he was crazy about this goddess. Death can be said to be the culprit for his many crazy massacres.
Originally, if things continued to develop like this, Thanos would still take the path of finding infinite gems and destroying life in the universe, but when this path just started, Schiller appeared.
Schiller had an impact on both Thanos and Death, but in fact, it was mainly Death that had a major impact, making Death busy dealing with his wool-like plan every day, and then letting Death experience several waves of severe crackdowns, so that Death had no time to care about the several messenger candidates she developed for a long time.
Intelligent life is forgetful. Sometimes faith is like a love affair. After the initial crazy infatuation, if there is a long cooling-off period, fatigue and boredom will come like a tide. Not to mention that Thanos is not destroying the universe full-time now. He has his own career and is busy every day. Over time, the impression of death in his mind is not so deep.
Once a dog wakes up, when he looks back at the past, he will definitely want to slap his former self. Thanos will go to Schiller's psychology class, just to make himself die with a clear mind.
Before this, Thanos vaguely felt that something was wrong. In addition to the magical influence that Death had on him, some of her actions and words were also very guiding. After Thanos was no longer so crazy about her, Thanos grasped a key point, but it was not systematic.
In the course of mental manipulation and controlling others, Thanos really understood the secret behind it - there is really a discipline in this world that systematically guides people on how to control and manipulate others.
In the few hours of talking alone with Schiller, Thanos learned as much similar knowledge as possible from Schiller. It is said that if you hold a hammer, everyone looks like a nail. If you hold a psychological disease atlas, you will find that everyone around you is crazy.
After understanding various techniques and principles, Thanos compared the words and behaviors that Death had shown in front of him one by one, and then found that the other party was just manipulating and using him from beginning to end.
Those techniques are so obvious that they can't be more obvious. Even each one can find a corresponding prototype in the theory. Even the techniques that are not very advanced can only be said to be typical.
Thanos is not without temper. Anyone who knows that he has been manipulated and used will not feel good, but he is obviously a ruthless character who knows how to endure. He has mastered more knowledge of manipulating others and is gearing up to take Death as the first person to practice.
Many people tend to think of Thanos as an infinite gem and a crazy Titan, but in fact, Thanos is actually an intellectual character. His wisdom should not be underestimated, and his understanding and caution are second to none in the universe.
Then Death found that the difficulty of this fake love game suddenly increased from simple to very difficult. Every response of Thanos seemed to be wrong, but Death could not tell what was wrong, because Thanos was still obsessed and affectionate.
It can be said that these rule-based gods fell into the hands of any weak existence not because they were not strong enough, but because they cared too much. Once they got into a dead end, their intelligence would drop significantly. Once they had a paranoid mind, their overall view would disappear without a trace.
In short, Death was anxious again.
It doesn't matter if Death goes to harass Thanos. No one is in charge of her work, which makes Infinity, who is now in charge of the universe, anxious.
Eternity goes back to the big world every day on business trips under the pretext of research. Although everyone knows that he is not really on a business trip, no one can stop him because his immediate boss Adam is also on a business trip.
Adam is afraid that the main body of the big world will find out that he has caused trouble, so he is busy destroying the evidence of the crime in the big world. When he comes back occasionally, he only gives Infinity some verbal encouragement at most and does not help at all.
Although Death originally likes to make small moves, she still does some work. Survival and destruction are the two eternal themes of the universe, and Death occupies half of them. Her work responsibilities are naturally very important, but now she has set her sights on Thanos, and she has also abandoned the maintenance of the Kingdom of Death.
The structure of the universe is very delicate, but not as delicate as imagined. There are many times when some inexplicable bugs will appear, so although Death seems to be doing nothing in the Kingdom of Death, she will also fix the loopholes.
Now, the boss of the company and the team leader are on a business trip together. One of the three colleagues skipped work to date, one was slacking off at his workstation, and one went to the cafeteria to eat. Infinite, the only one working in the entire project team, was heartbroken.
But just a few days ago, he went from an employee who could quit at any time to one of the company's partners. The company's profit and loss had a huge impact on him personally, so he had to work even if he didn't want to. Then he took over the responsibility of death, and Infinite was completely busy.
But he was not the only unlucky guy among the rule-based gods. Annihilation was also unlucky recently, and his unluckyness was even more inexplicable.
After a new wave of thought broke out on Earth, all the Spider-Men in the central universe were inevitably involved in various debates. Of course, Schiller instructed Hydra to send the contact information of the Spider-Men to the editors-in-chief of each newspaper participating in the debate and called him a new critic. This may be part of the reason, but it is by no means all.
Just like Gwen said, Spider-Man is really good at quarreling. Although he doesn't quarrel with anyone in his daily life, he is never behind in the debate about the truth.
After putting on a disguised identity, Spider-Man is a chatterbox with a superb memory. He can draw inferences from any knowledge category. Their energy is different from that of ordinary people. They can quarrel for three days and three nights without getting tired. Once they appear on the stage of newspaper commentary, they will immediately shock everyone.
But in fact, most people in this world are not as smart as Spider-Man, and those who dare to express their opinions are not necessarily very powerful. Most of them are more shameless. Quarreling with idiots will always make people angry. Even if Spider-Man's temper has been improved to a certain extent, it is still inevitable to make himself angry.
What makes them most angry is that a group of people who call themselves nihilists suddenly jumped out and started to compete with Spider-Man. They refuted whatever opinions Spider-Man expressed, and said what Spider-Man said was good. They said it was bad. It was like a 24-hour non-stop argument.
In the SHIELD psychiatrist's office, the spacious and bright office now has more than 30 desks forcibly crammed in, and more than 30 agents are typing away at their desks, while Schiller stands by the window with his arms crossed, staring at them, and occasionally points at one of them and says.
"Hurry up and write, Spider-Man will release a new round of opinions before 2 o'clock this afternoon. Refute them as I said before, if they release three, we will release five."
"Don't be lazy, remember, nihilism is an integral part of Hydra's doctrine, long live Hydra!"
