Chapter 215 Busy Autumn (Part 2)
As the saying goes, if a man does not think ahead, he will have immediate worries, and the same is true for gods.
Thor was almost mad at Loki's humiliation. If it were the old him, even if he knew he could not win and knew that he might be expelled by Heimdall if he attacked his superior, he would definitely fight Loki to the death.
But after coming to Earth, Thor understood one thing: objective facts cannot be changed by people's subjective initiative. If you fail in an interview, you fail. If the company does not accept you, it will not accept you. If you can't find a job, you can't find a job. It's useless for Thor to be angry and complain.
During this period of time, Thor has no idea how many times he has hit a wall. Originally, his warehouse worker did a good job, but the salary was too low. After paying the rent, Thor even had problems with food and clothing.
He urgently wanted to find a job with a higher salary, but there was really no good job in that hellish place of Hell's Kitchen, so he could only go out.
Fortunately, when he was working in the warehouse, he got along well with a group of truck drivers from Texas. Thor learned some driving and repair skills from them, and then found a job in a repair shop near the south of Manhattan.
But this job was too far from his residence, so Thor had to find a new house. The problem he faced now was that the only house he could afford to rent and close to his workplace was Loki's.
Even if Loki tricked him here to laugh at him, Thor could only bow to reality. If he couldn't go to work on time and get paid, he would have to sleep on the street again.
I don't know what Loki thought, but in the end, he still opened the door for Thor. I don't know what the relationship between the two of them was, but in the end, Loki still rented the house to Thor.
There are many apartments near the high-end apartment where Loki lives. In an apartment opposite, SHIELD agent Hill is looking across with a telescope. The symbiote Phantom complains in her body: "I still think your plan to use Riot for research is a bit too risky. What if you send him back to the planet Klyntar and lock him up?"
"I don't know why you humans are so bold. Aren't you afraid that Knull's chaotic power will come again?"
Hill shrugged and said: "You can only tell the director. This is his plan. I can't change anything."
And Phantom said helplessly: "Also, if you monitor the two princes of Asgard like this, will the god king Odin really hate you? ? He is the master of the nine kingdoms..."
"This is not very important, but you know what, these two princes are quite handsome..." Hill put one hand on his waist and held a telescope in the other hand and asked the phantom: "Who do you think is more handsome? I still like Loki more, Thor's kind of handsome guy..."
Hill shrugged and said: "Maybe someone will like it, but it's not my cup of tea."
"I..." The phantom didn't know how to answer. Hill thought she was shy. She said: "I can feel that you are more interested in Thor. Every time you mention Thor, you seem to have some emotional fluctuations. How about I introduce you two to each other?"
"No need!" The phantom shouted.
Then, she muttered in a low voice: "The thunder of the Aesir almost killed us all. Do you know him? Do you think being struck by thunder is not painful enough?"
"So you are afraid of him?"
"I'm not!"
Suddenly, Hill put down the telescope, rubbed his eyes, and then looked at the window opposite with the telescope again, and said in confusion: "Am I dazzled? Why does the room opposite seem to be on fire?"
The phantom demon has covered Hill's body. She said: "You are not dazzled, it is on fire."
Instantly, Hill appeared outside the apartment door of Loki and Thor. She knocked on the door and said: "Hello, are you there? I saw that your room is on fire!"
There was a violent noise in the house. After a while, Thor opened the door. There was a black spot on his face. He wiped it vigorously. He lowered his face and said, "We're fine! We'll take care of it right away!"
As he spoke, there was another loud "bang" from the kitchen. Thor looked back and blocked Hill's sight with his burly body. He said, "Are you a neighbor? That... We had an accident while cooking, really, we'll take care of it right away, believe me..."
There was another loud bang, and thick smoke poured out of the kitchen. Loki was choked directly. He coughed twice and said to Thor standing at the door, "It's really on fire, put it out quickly..."
Thor covered his eyes, and Hill at the door pointed to the stairwell, "There are firefighting equipment there, just open it and use it."
After the fire was put out, although Hill was curious about what happened, she had no reason to stay, so she returned to her base and continued remote monitoring.
As a result, less than an hour later, the glass in the opposite room was directly shattered in a violent explosion, and billowing black smoke came out of the room. Hill hurried downstairs.
Loki walked forward quickly, and his face was also blackened a few times. Thor behind him was even more unbearable to look at, and he turned into a little black man.
Thor yelled at Loki hysterically: "Look at what you have done! You are simply the most incompetent god of fire I have ever seen! If you hadn't used the flame to light the gas stove, it wouldn't have exploded..."
As the fire alarm sirens sounded, Loki said angrily: "How do I know what's going on??? Controlling fire is my inherent ability in my priesthood, how do I know why the flames burned the pipes uncontrollably?"
"You've messed it up once before!" Thor emphasized: "But you still have to do it, is your head tied up?!"
Loki was so angry that he laughed. He never thought that he would be ridiculed by Thor for being brainless. Just as the two of them were arguing, a firefighter in a fire suit came over and said: "You are the two victims of the house on fire. What is your relationship?"
Neither of them spoke, and the firefighter looked at them. With a strange expression, he took out a notebook and registered: "No matter what your relationship is, come back to the police station with us now. Major fire accidents need to be recorded..."
Seeing the two princes being taken to the fire truck, Hill came over, showed his ID, and said: "S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, please cooperate."
Twenty minutes later, in the office of S.H.I.E.L.D., Natasha sat at the table facing the two people, and said without raising her head: "Name?"
"Thor Odinson." Thor said unhappily.
"Loki Odinson."
"Hey, your last name is not Odinson! Only the eldest son of the God King can use the title of Odinson!"
"Can you shut up?" Loki touched his face and said to Thor viciously: "I am a righteous god now, you can't contradict me!"
Natasha knocked on the table, she said expressionlessly: "Do you know that you caused a gas explosion in a high-end apartment with dense residents, which can be classified as a terrorist activity carried out by aliens?"
Loki stretched out his hand to signal Natasha to calm down, he said: "I can explain, the thing is this..."
Natasha supported her face with one hand, made an expression of "I want to see what you can make up", and listened to Loki's speech.
"I have obtained the priesthood of the God of Fire. Of course, I know that you humans don't understand how this priesthood system works, but literally speaking, the God of Fire should have the ability to control fire, right?"
After saying this, Loki also felt that his words were too stupid, but seeing Natasha nodded, he still said: "Human gas stoves should also be ignited with fire, is there any problem with this?"
Natasha nodded again.
Thor interrupted and said: "But your ability to control fire is like a pile of shit! We just need a little flame to ignite the gas stove, and you made a fireball bigger than the refrigerator door..."
Loki ignored him completely, and continued: "In theory, the fire control ability of the God of Fire should be perfect."
"So?" Natasha looked up at him.
Loki opened his mouth and looked at Natasha's beautiful face. He felt that in front of a beautiful woman, his next conclusion was indeed a bit embarrassing.
"But there is a slight gap between theory and reality..."
Natasha sighed, she closed the file in front of her and said: "The reason why SHIELD tolerates Thor's stay on Earth is because he has no power beyond ordinary people, but you are different."
"I don't care whether you can't control your divine power or make a mistake in casting a spell. In short, you burned down human houses, frightened the surrounding residents, and wasted fire alarm resources. In short, we have to repatriate you..."
"No! Wait!" Loki stood up and said: "I have a very important business this month! I just negotiated it yesterday and will meet the client soon. It's a big order from Bankers Trust. I can't just..."
Just then, Nick Fury pushed open the door of the office. He was smoking and holding a crystal ball in his hand. The other three stared at him. Nick coughed and spit out a puff of black smoke from his mouth, and then said: "Put aside other problems. Can you Asgard not be so rude when sending express delivery?"
"Uh... Were you struck by lightning?" Natasha asked.
"Don't be Colson, always asking obvious questions."
Thor and Loki looked at each other, and Loki said: "This is the good quality of Asgard, simple, fast, and one-step, although it is a bit rough..."
Natasha walked to Nick, Nick handed her the crystal ball, and then looked at Loki and said: "Since your father has paid the custody fee, we can temporarily not pursue the trouble you caused, but you must promise us that there will be no next time."
Loki raised his hand and said: "I will not use the power of the God of Fire again."
Natasha asked a little puzzled: "You don't only know the power of the God of Fire, and after the fire, can't you use your kind of magic to put out the fire?"
"I don't know what's going on." Loki turned his head and looked to the side. He also said a little puzzled: "I can't control the fireball I made, and I'm a little... that is, a little..."
Thor looked at his brother's expression and grinned and said: "You are not... afraid of fire?"
