Chapter 1052: Shocking Ordinary Person (Part 30)

Seeing that Schiller was also there, Thor appeared somewhat surprised. Suddenly, as if he realized something, he swallowed the words he wanted to say, glanced at Eddie's complexion, and knew what was going on now.

After all, before he came, he had also received a warning from Loki, the gist of which was, don't go looking for Schiller even if the sky falls.

However, this wasn't him actively looking for him; it was just a chance encounter. Thor thought, anyway, Eddie is here, so nothing major should happen.

Thor walked to the side of the dining table, pulled out a chair, and sat down. Before Eddie could ask, he complained, "I must come to Earth to avoid the limelight. Frigga is driving me crazy. She only asks me two things every day: when are you getting married? When are you having children?"

Eddie laughed and said, "Didn't expect that the dignified Asgardian God King would also be urged to marry..."

Thor shook his head and said, "Actually, it's my fault too. Normally speaking, when the God King is crowned, there should be a God Queen. But at that time, my relationship with Sif was a bit stiff, Loki was still making trouble on the side, and the All-Father and the God Queen also had disagreements on the issue of the candidate."

Eddie widened his eyes, looked him up and down, and said, "You aren't really going to marry your own sister, are you? And he used to be your own younger brother!"

Thor waved his hand and said, "Asgard is different from you humans. We don't have any taboos about close-relative marriage. The God race won't produce any sequelae because of close-relative marriage. My father and my mother also have a blood relationship."

"However, I really don't have any feelings for Loki other than brotherly love, but you also know, royal marriages are often not decided by ourselves." Thor sighed. Eddie sat down on the chair opposite him. Unexpectedly, Schiller also leaned over and sat next to him.

Eddie took the water pitcher on the table, poured a glass of water for Thor, and then said, "You really have matured quite a bit. If it were when we first met, you would definitely be shouting loudly that love should be free..."

"Love should of course be free, but I still have responsibilities." Thor drank a sip of water and said, "Every royal family member is like this. We enjoy the supply and worship of the Asgardian people, so naturally, we must shoulder greater responsibilities than them, and also have to make sacrifices. Marriage is included in this."

"However, although I think this way, I won't force others to think this way. So, at that time, Loki didn't clearly express his stance, so I just assumed he didn't agree. Later, the All-Father also stopped bothering us."

Thor rested one hand on the table. The burly Nordic strongman could even drink water with the momentum of drinking alcohol. He wiped his mouth and then said, "My relationship with Sif is actually a bit magical..."

"During the period when I just returned to Asgard, because I killed quite a few Berserkers who had ulterior motives, Sif and I had a very stiff relationship. She went out to train alone, and we were separated for a period of time."

There were some memories in Thor's eyes. He said, "Since we have known each other since childhood, we had never been separated for such a long time. After she came back, both of us noticed some differences..."

"Plus, Frigga tried hard to match us, so things just fell into place. It's just that I was crowned first, and the wedding wasn't held at the same time. Now, it's hard to find a suitable opportunity to hold it."

"Since it's already been decided, what are you afraid of being urged to marry for?" Eddie asked somewhat curiously. "It's nothing more than whether or not to hold a banquet. Your mother shouldn't be that urgent, right?"

"But I really can't stand her nagging every day!" Thor covered his forehead somewhat helplessly, wrinkled his face, and said, "In her words, she always compares me with Loki, saying that he was more sensible than me since childhood, had good relationships with the goddesses, and said that I should have learned from him back then, be a bit more considerate, don't be at odds with Sif, and hold the coronation ceremony and the wedding together, then there wouldn't be so many things."

"She said, this is unfair to Sif. The God Queen should have been crowned together with her husband as a wife at the most glorious and grand ceremony, but Sif will never have this opportunity again..."

Thor sighed and said, "Frigga's words also make sense. I can't refute them, but I really can't stand her nagging, so I had to run out to hide for a while."

Thor's fingers tapped on the table and then said:

"Another reason is that Loki is the God of Mischief. Recently, he has caused quite a bit of trouble. Many interstellar empires have called me. I'm too lazy to scold them one by one, so I just said I'm not here. If they have the ability, come to Asgard to catch him. I actually hope they come!"

Thor revealed an expression filled with murderous intent. Obviously, the vocabulary used to describe Loki in those phone calls made him very unhappy.

Eddie burst out laughing and said, "You father and son are simply a fraud gang. The son is responsible for going out to fish, and the father waits at home to strike them dead one by one, kill, eat, bury, all in one go..."

Unexpectedly, just as Eddie's voice fell, Thor looked at him somewhat surprised and said, "You have also changed quite a bit. Before, you always spoke in a pedantic way, and there were some words I couldn't understand. Now it's much better..."

Eddie froze for a moment, then revealed a bitter smile and said, "Living here, you can only speak like this. If you were still like speaking to colleagues at the newspaper office, you would get beaten up."

The two chatted for a while. Schiller, sitting on the side, took out the candy wrapper again and began to play. Thor didn't quite understand what he was doing, so he leaned forward to watch him play with the origami toy, and even said with great interest:

"The goddesses of Asgard like folding paper butterflies the most. After folding them, they attach flying magic to them, letting the butterflies fly around the fountain. Whoever's butterfly can fly around the large fountain for a week without getting wet is the most powerful..."

"Ever since Loki turned into a goddess, this award has never fallen into anyone else's hands. Her magic is indeed powerful, but I think it's very likely that she used illusions to trick others. He has been like this since childhood."

The more Thor talked, the more interested he became, so he looked at Schiller and said, "Can you teach me how you folded it? I'll go back and teach Sif, letting her show her face at the goddesses' gathering."

"Sif follows the path of the Valkyrie and doesn't quite get along with the traditional goddesses of Asgard. But in the future, when she becomes the God Queen, she will inevitably have to deal with the goddesses. If I can help her in this regard, it can be considered as compensating for my mistake of delaying the wedding..."

After finishing, he leaned to Schiller's side, staring at Schiller's rigid movements, and didn't feel bored at all, but said:

"It's really interesting. These two sides of the cross are closed, and the other two sides are separated. This side is separated, and that side is closed again... Quick, quick, quick, teach me how to fold! Eddie! Eddie! Help us get a piece of paper!"

Eddie just wanted to say that Schiller's mental state wasn't very good right now, but he discovered that Schiller also lifted his head to look at him. He shook his head somewhat helplessly, walked into the room to find two pieces of white paper, cut them into squares, and handed them to them.

Schiller didn't speak, just folded it again with his crisp and neat movements.

Thor, who was two meters tall and had a back wider than a door panel, pinched the thin white paper with fingers thicker than carrots, just like pinching that sensitive heart beneath his rugged appearance.

Schiller folded the paper with lightning-fast movements, unfolded the folded one, and then folded it again. Thor tried somewhat clumsily, but because he had never done this work, he looked a bit unskillful.

Eddie, who was resting his arms on the back of the chair and watching the two of them play, said in his mind, "... You wanted to participate just now, right?"

"I didn't, I'm not that childish!" Venom immediately denied it, but then he "hummed" and said, "If I really wanted to participate, I would definitely be angered by this big guy's stupidity!"

"You aren't any better than him." Eddie snorted disdainfully and said, "Every time you eat chocolate balls, you swallow them together with the packaging. Don't think I don't know, you just can't peel the candy wrapper..."

"Shut up! You damn coward! Apologize! Apologize quickly!"

Finally, Eddie also sat opposite Thor, the two of them practicing face-to-face with white paper, while Schiller sat directly in front, looking like he was demonstrating, but also like he was repeating meaningless rigid movements?

The folding method of "East, West, South, North" is not complicated, but if it's the first time coming into contact with it, you still have to practice a few times, otherwise, the flexibility of the folded thing won't be enough, and it will get stuck when opening and closing.

Eddie folded for two minutes, of which 1 minute and 40 seconds were spent arguing with Venom and fighting for control of his body.

Finally, Venom still gained the upper hand. The huge black monster appeared opposite the table, the huge black claws pinching the tiny white paper, just like pinching his own immature and innocent heart.

The three of them played with paper for tens of minutes until the night was already deep. Under the illumination of the lights, Eddie turned his head to look at Schiller's expression. He discovered that there was no anxiety or irritability in it, only focus and seriousness.

Actually, the most fun origami toy in the world, playing it for a few hours in one go, isn't very interesting either.

The fun of origami lies in the process of folding, and the toy that can only be simply opened and closed after being folded, in such an intelligent era, isn't even as fun as switching screens on a mobile phone.

However, constantly opening and closing his fingers, watching the paper from these four directions combined together in different regular patterns, made Eddie feel a kind of peace. He said to Venom in his mind: "Do you remember what we came here to do?"

"You said you wanted to find a brand new news topic." Venom hummed. The emotional side in his heart surged up again. He said:

"But, news is like this toy. Two features with breaking points combined together become a piece of new news, and then going to combine with others, it's another piece of news... Is this news?"

Sitting on the chair in the dining room, Eddie heard his own inner monologue: "... No, this of course is not news. This is not what news should pursue. That is neither new nor real."

"What kind of truth do you want to pursue?" Venom's somewhat vague voice rang out: "The truth of the matter? The root of the case?"

"No..." Eddie heard his own heart answering again: "There have already been too many excellent news practitioners who have walked this path, and I want to walk a path different from them..."

Accompanied by the dialogue in his heart, it was already late at night, the night curtain hung low, and the moonlight was scattered everywhere.

The man with golden long hair, after experiencing a cross-world journey, felt sleepy due to exhaustion and fell asleep leaning on the chair.

The thin doctor with black hair also slowly lay on the table and sank into a dream.

The origami toy folded from the golden-red candy wrapper was left in the center of the table.

And at this moment, the last flight shuttle happened to pass by in front of the window. The cold light of the light strip shone in along the window. When it shone on the candy wrapper, it looked like a fine and viscous curtain of rain, wrapping around a precarious umbrella.

A boring toy born in the old era, and the most functional transportation facility of the new era, in front of Eddie, collided with amazing sparks of inspiration.

Thus, he opened his mouth, and his low voice echoed in the room.

"The era and technology have changed, but people haven't."

"In this amazing era composed of technology and exploration, people who are at a loss want to know where the road ahead leads. Ordinary people are like this, excellent doctors are like this, and great kings are also like this."

"And I, a media person who has been fortunate enough to experience the era of change, the truth I want to record is not what the end of the road is, but the joy, pain, thirst for knowledge, and inability to obtain what one seeks that people have truly produced in the process of exploring this question..."

Eddie unfolded the white paper with creases in his hand, dipped his fingertips in the water in the cup, and wrote a few words on the paper surface:

"What I want to record, the newest and most real news, is exactly all the... shocking ordinary people I have encountered." ===== CHAPTER 1053 =====
