Chapter 1114: The Father and the Son (34)
"Helen! Come back!"
Loki gave a symbolic cry, and it was almost a minute or so before Helen finally ran back.
And at this time, from Sylvie himself to this spacious office, it has changed from a high-tech cyber style to a tattered wasteland style.
Originally, Sylvie was wearing a plain T-shirt and jeans, a dark jacket, and a pair of goggles that people here usually wear.
By this time, her jacket had become tattered strips of cloth, half of her jeans legs were gone, and her goggles were completely shattered.
She stood there in embarrassment, like a madwoman who had rushed out of a mental hospital.
Helen jumped on Loki's body with a "whoosh", and just wanted to show off her actions, she found that Loki was not in a good state.
He has been in a trance of drowning in the past.
In fact, before being taken away by the Time Authority, his mental state could not be called healthy, as Odin said, he has been in a state of impatience, and even very rarely did not give Frigga face.
And after Sylvie brings up the dark day again, the scene of that day is like a movie that has been pressed into a single-episode loop, and every detail is constantly replaying in Loki's mind.
This is a compulsion that he simply cannot control, and the more he recalls, the sadder he becomes, and the more sad he becomes, the more he cannot control himself.
The embarrassed Sylvie rushed up, but he didn't get too close, for Helen was like a dragon guarding a treasure, with a mouthful of fangs, ready to bite Sylvie more than six hundred more.
Sylvie took a deep breath, silently touched her hand to her waist, and looked at Loki and said, "I'm different from you, I'm no longer a loser, I'm no longer a follower who circles around my loved ones. ”
"Loki, why don't you understand that from the moment they abandoned you, you have no home......" Sylvie's expression also showed a hint of pain, and at this time, the two Loki's minds were circling exactly the same scene.
Loki came back to his senses slightly, and his eyes fell on Sylvie's face, this woman Loki was not as innocent and holy as she imagined, or beautiful and noble, and she was completely different from Hela.
Hela was once the jewel in the crown of Asgard, even if she failed and was imprisoned, she always carried an innate nobility and arrogance, and when she turned into a man in order to compete for Loki, her momentum was not inferior to Thor, and even more like Odin than the eldest prince.
But Sylvie, who was born as a princess, was covered with wind and frost at this time, from the corners of her eyes to between her eyebrows, there were engraved vicissitudes far beyond her age.
When a person knows that he will never have a home, no matter what he does, it will cost him a thousand times more effort than others, because they know that there will be no place where they can accept their failures.
When Loki came back to his senses, he bent down, put Helen down, and then slowly stepped forward, stretched out his fingertips as if instinctively, touched the corner of Sylvie's eye, and spoke.
"You're right, every Loki has been abandoned, even if Odin didn't say those words, and the moment he realized that he was far less valued than Thor, he was abandoned......",
You are lucky and unlucky. Loki's fingertips began to tremble a little, and Sylvie slowly rolled her eyes to look at his hand.
"After that day passed, you were taken away by the Time Authority and left Asgard forever, you don't think it's bad, anyway, it will never accept you there, you would rather come out and be a mercenary than be a princess of Asgard again."
At the same time, as you travel through the timeline, you come into contact with all kinds of Loki, and you despise them, thinking that they are like poor henchmen in order to gain love, and they will never be as independent and free as you......"
Loki slowly lowered his hand, and Sylvie fell silent, and after a while, he spoke again, "You are different from all Loki I have met, you are the first person who can say this so calmly. ”
"6 In the past, all the Lokis I met, whenever I mentioned it, they would attack me like crazy, and began to cover their panicked hearts with some sharp words."
"That's a bunch of crazy people who can't communicate rationally, and their current behavior just confirms my right, if you choose to be a dog, then you will only bark......"
Sylvie raised an eyebrow, her eyes full of sarcasm, and she continued, "That's why, I said I'm not Loki, I'm not a dog, and never will be!"
Loki slowly closed his eyes, he took a deep breath and exhaled it, trying to regain his composure, he looked at Sylvie and said, "Do you know why I said you were unlucky? ”
Sylvie looked at him in silence, as if he was sure that he couldn't give a reasonable answer, and didn't feel flustered at all, but Loki, after looking down at the ground, looked up at Sylvie and said.
"Do you think that there is no one who loves you in this world?" Loki asked.
Sylvie snorted and said, "It's not just me, it's every Loki, and who else will love them?" ”
"Alright, alright...... You want to talk about Friggia, but do you think Frigga didn't know about the decision made by Odin? Could Thor not know? Do your friends in Asgard not know? ”
"Since they all know, why, no one is on your side, why, they calmly, even joyfully, accept all this?"
Sylvie's eyes looked cold and sarcastic, and so did her tone.
"They knew you were going to be upset, they knew that when the knife was in your chest, it would hurt terribly, but everybody just stood there, even, applauded for it...... Loki, wake up, they don't love you......"
Loki lowered his eyes and spoke.
"Shall we make a bet?"
"What do you want to bet on?" Sylvie even had a hint of pity on her face, and she felt that Loki had no leverage because she had nothing to ask for. ,
"If I win, you're going to follow me back to the Time Authority and help them on the day the Director returns, just like they helped you, and if I lose, you can ask me to do anything, ......"
Loki's temperament gradually sharpened, and the eyes he looked at Sylvie were full of determination, and Sylvie had no idea where he got his confidence.
So she turned to the floor-to-ceiling window and said in a slick tone, "Why should I bet with you?" What's your use? You're useless at any time, I'm already stronger than all of you!"
"If that were the case, you wouldn't be hiding in this building......" Loki said with a slow smile, "Actually, you're more afraid of the Director finding you than anyone else in the Time Authority, you know, he won't let you go, you know you have the secret he wants, and you ...... to him There is no way"
"Now, it's you who need to seek refuge, because you're the most special of all Loki."
"You feel very proud of your half-life journey, and you feel that no Loki can be freer than you, but when you face a powerful enemy, you suddenly find that you have nothing to rely on, but to hide here and wait for death......"
"Are you better than me?" Sylvie turned back again, her eyebrows tightly twisted together, she gritted her teeth and said, "Ragnarok, one day will come, and when the time comes, you will be the first to be abandoned." ”
"But at the very least, there are countless Asgardians who will fight for this, and even if they don't fight for me, I'm not alone."
Loki strode up to Sylvie, leaned close to her, looked her in the eye and said, "Even if I die first, Asgard will not forget my exploits."
Sylvie slowly tilted her head to the side, because she knew that what Loki said was true, Asgard was the only one who would not discriminate in this regard, and if a warrior died on the way to charge Asgard, then he must be honorable, no matter who he was or what he had done.
"And you, you can only fall silently on this ruined planet." Loki shook his head lightly and said, "No one knew you before you died, and no one will remember you after you die......"
Sylvie stared at Loki, but Loki didn't push her further, but took two steps back and said, "Even if I'm a stray dog, at least, I have traces of my existence, even if what is left in the history books is not a good reputation, it is also a record of my previous visits." ”
"You feel that you have nothing to worry about, so you are not afraid of anything...... But aren't you really afraid? You are really not afraid, when you die in a quiet night, no one remembers you, no one cares about you, you take nothing with you, you leave nothing, as if you have never been in this world. ”
When Loki said this, Sylvie couldn't help but focus on Helen's body, and when she saw Helen who had just attacked her, her eyes were not completely angry, but a little confused and lost.
"If you make this bet with me and I lose, I will swear in the name of Asgard to fight for you, even if in the end, we still can't defeat the strong enemy, but at least, you don't die alone."
Sylvie's lips moved, and she was silent for a few more minutes before she asked, "How do you want to bet?" ”
"Just like the question I just asked you, do you think that no one in this world loves you anymore, but my opinion is different from yours, why don't we bet on this?"
Suddenly, Sylvie looked up at him, and she first showed a smug sneer, as if she had a chance to win, but then, there was a sadness between her eyebrows, and it was clear that even if she was right, there was nothing to be proud of. ,
"I'll bet with you, but how are you going to prove it?"
Loki put his eyes on the hand that Sylvie was caressing his waist, and he said, "Before I came, Morbius told me that he gave you a machine that could travel through the timeline at will. ”
"Take this machine, go back to the universe you are in, and its current timeline, and see what happened there, and the answer is there......"
"No......" Sylvie's teeth began to clench, but Loki did not give in, he approached Sylvie again, and Sylvie retreated step by step, until, leaning against the glass of the floor-to-ceiling window, there was no way to retreat.
"Let's see if this miracle lady who dominates the abandoned planet has really pursued freedom as she said for so many years and disdained to go home......"
Loki's eyes took on a wicked smile, and like all the other Lokis Sylvie had ever seen, he said in a tone that was most irritating.
"Or is it actually that this stray dog, who thinks very highly of himself, doesn't dare to go home at all?"
