Chapter 1086: Father and Daughter (15)

After Ravonna left, Mobius was still immersed in shock. After a long time, he looked at Loki with a complex gaze, but Loki's expression was very calm, as if the person who had just made the death oath wasn't him.

After a while, Mobius asked: "What did you mean by our way out?"

"I said, the key lies in the little girl you let go. Your Director thinks she is very important, which proves she has value, at least more value than you guys."

"You don't intend to use her as a hostage, do you? No, we finally let her go, if she is..."

Loki turned back into a female, sighed, looked at Mobius, and said: "I guess your Director must have told you to reset her timeline after torturing her, and never let her go crazy or die, right?"

Mobius opened his mouth wide, looked at Loki, and after a while, said somewhat stutteringly: "That's right, how did you know? And he specifically instructed us that when backtracking, we must carefully preserve her memory, and there must be no memory loss, nor any mental damage..."

"This shows that she has something your Director cares about very much, perhaps the method he thinks can break the barrier. As long as you can find her and stay with her, the Director will be afraid of throwing the rat, because he is afraid of hurting her, and naturally won't dare to act rashly against you."

Mobius froze for a moment, but soon understood this logic, and then said somewhat absurdly: "Then at the beginning, if we hadn't let her go, we wouldn't have to look for her now?"

"At that time, you didn't know the Director wouldn't come back, so at that time, your choice to let her go to protect her was correct, otherwise I wouldn't be staying here to help you." Loki walked forward while looking up at the doorplate of the office.

The two first came to Mobius's office, picked up Helen, and then continued to walk forward.

"Archives... Archives... Here! I knew I saw it on my way here." After speaking, Loki was about to push the door, but Mobius stopped her. He looked left and right and lowered his voice:

"Although I, Ravonna, and B-15 reached a consensus, it means that all employees of the Time Variance Authority have turned to us, but we don't know if there is anyone else in the bureau who can directly contact the Director, you know..."

Loki nodded, indicating she understood. After all, Mobius had mentioned before that their Director could split into many, maybe there was a clone of the Director hidden in the Time Variance Authority. If they happened to run into him, it would be all over.

Mobius cleared his throat, walked to the door, pressed the communicator, and said to the other side: "Hunter B-15, please answer. I have some disagreements with the newly interrogated time criminal Loki regarding the details of her crime. I need to come to the archives to extract some evidence. Could you trouble you to send someone to open the door?"

Mobius's wording was very cautious, and B-15 didn't say much either. Both understood what the other meant. After a while, a somewhat familiar guard walked over, saluted Mobius, and opened the door for the two.

After entering the archives, Loki put Helen down. In an angle Mobius couldn't see, she whispered a few words in Helen's ear. Helen nodded immediately and "whooshed" into the bookshelf.

"Wait! Little girl, you can't mess around here!" Mobius was about to chase, but was stopped by Loki, who said: "Don't worry, Helen has a sense of proportion."

After speaking, she began to look at this archive room. The overall style of the archive room was similar to the previous room, both simple and with some steam style.

And the most eye-catching thing was some sparkling colored gemstones placed on the desk nearby.

Noticing Loki's gaze, Mobius turned his head to look and said lightly: "Oh, those are Infinity Stones, actually just... Wait, you were convicted because of using the Time Stone, so you should know what this thing is."

Loki narrowed her eyes and walked over. She found that there were at least a dozen Time Stones on the table, piled up next to the desk lamp like debris, and some stones even had a few sheets of paper pressed under them.

Mobius walked over with his hands in his suit pockets and said: "This thing is useless once it leaves its own universe, just a good-looking stone. People here often use it as a paperweight. It's still quite good-looking, isn't it?"

"Can I take a few back?" Loki didn't hide the greedy light in her eyes at all. Mobius didn't care and waved his hand, saying: "Take as many as you want. Anyway, if this place is going to be blown up in the end, these things will be destroyed too."

"However, I must remind you, I'm not joking. Even if you take them back to your universe, they are just good-looking stones. Don't expect them to have any magical functions..."

Loki revealed a smile that made Mobius feel a bit cold on his back. She picked up a gemstone, placed it in front of her eyes, and then said:

"Looking good is enough. No function is even better."

"Why is that?" Mobius asked with some confusion.

"I can't prove it's useful, so no one can prove it's useless."

Loki spent about ten minutes scouring all the Infinity Stones in the archives, including those on the table, in the drawers, and even those left in the corners of the table. Mobius watched her rummage around and frowned, saying: "If you really want them, I can contact the warehouse and send you a box."

"No, no, no!" Loki waved her hand immediately, then stopped in front of Mobius, held up a finger to him, and said:

"These are enough. As for the rest... are you sure you want to blow this place up? Then please be sure to blow it up cleanly. Don't leave a single stone behind. It would be even better if you could take a video when you blow it up."

Mobius slowly narrowed his eyes. He always felt that Loki wasn't doing anything good, but he hadn't reacted to what Loki intended to do for the time being. At this moment, Loki had already started doing real work.

She picked up the thick directory on the table and began to flip through it. Mobius stood beside her and said: "What are you looking for? The file of the female Loki?"

"You could say that." Loki nodded, flipped a page, and said: "But actually, I have already seen her life in the ascended state, but I want to know more about the Asgard she is in. Why would Frigga give birth to a daughter?"

"Why would there be a why?" Mobius said with some confusion: "Since it's possible to give birth to a boy, it's possible to give birth to a girl..."

Loki looked up at him and said: "Then why are so many universes giving birth to boys, and only that one universe gave birth to a girl?"

"If, according to what you said, the probability is equal, then it should be half boys and half girls. Even if the probability is not equal, it shouldn't be that there is only one female. Since there is only one, it means that the universe must have its own special features."

"The time to ascend above the universe was too short. I could only see the fate related to myself and had no time to look at the history of the rise and fall of every Asgardian. Perhaps the secret is right here... Let me see... Oh, found it!"

"Sylvie Laufeydottir! Wait a minute, why is she called Sylvie?" Loki narrowed her eyes and said: "Isn't she Loki? If it weren't for this surname, I wouldn't have recognized her name..."

"She said her name is Sylvie." Mobius recalled and said: "However, at that time, my relationship with Ravonna wasn't very good, and I didn't participate much in Sylvie's trial, so I don't know what exactly happened."

"Let me see, the Asgard and Avengers of this universe... Thor... Here! Wait a minute, 'she'? How could it be a female pronoun? Female Thor?!"

Loki exclaimed in surprise. Immediately after, she flipped back two pages and said: "Iron Man 'she', Captain America 'she', Sorcerer Supreme 'she'... This is a female universe?? No, wait! How did Hela become a male?... Gender-swapped universe?!"

"The gender of everyone in this world has been reversed." Loki widened her eyes, looked at the content on the directory, and said: "No wonder Loki would be a female, because Odin and Thor are both females, while Hela and Frigga are males..."

"Not strange." Mobius nodded and said: "The universe is so big, there are all kinds of wonders. Some universes even have all superheroes turned into various animals, and some universes have people's good and evil reversed. Gender reversal isn't considered a very outrageous thing."

"Since that's the case, what is the ability to break 'a wall' in the so-called prophecy?" Loki touched his chin and stood before the directory thinking. After a while, she shook her head and said: "We are daydreaming here, I'm afraid it won't have any effect. Forget it, let's find this Miss Sylvie first and ask her what exactly is going on?"

After speaking, Loki cast her gaze onto Mobius's face and said: "Since you guys sent her away at the beginning, you should know where she is now, right?"

Mobius pursed his lips and coughed twice somewhat awkwardly. Then he said: "In fact, we don't know either..."

"First of all, at that time, we didn't know the Director wouldn't come back. Things were done very urgently. Simply put, we gave her a controller for traveling through universes and let her go herself. As for where exactly she went, we don't know."

"Secondly, we shouldn't know, because if we knew, the Director's eyes and ears hidden in the Time Variance Authority might also know, so it's better to just give the travel machine to this little girl."

"Asgardians are long-lived species. Although her appearance is just a little girl, she is at least several decades old. She is very smart and should know how to hide herself."

Loki covered her forehead, looking somewhat helpless. After thinking for a while, she looked at Mobius and said: "You guys spent some time with her. Where do you think she might hide?"

Just as Loki finished asking, Mobius frowned and fell into deep thought. Loki reminded from the side: "If it were you facing such a situation, where would you hide?"

"I'm different from her. I'm an old employee of the Time Variance Authority. There are many timelines in the cracks and crevices that are not eye-catching to hide in, and there are even some time loop vortices. Although they are not stable enough, as long as you master the laws, they are even safer."

"It seems we can only conduct a carpet search." Loki looked up at Mobius and said: "How many people are you sure you can mobilize? I mean the completely safe ones that you trust."

"Not many." Mobius shook his head quite solemnly and said: "The ones who can be completely trusted are only the employees who participated in the release of the female Loki. They can be completely trusted. As for the others, it's hard to say."

"It seems that using your own strength won't work. We have to find some helpers." Loki lightly curled the corner of her mouth, revealing an expression of wanting to say something but stopping. Mobius looked at her and asked: "... Do you have a suggestion?"

"I do, but you also know that finding someone in the multiverse is not that simple. Looking at the entire multiverse, how many people have the ability to travel freely? Such people are talents in the universe, so the price of asking them for help..."

Mobius could be considered an old oil stick among civil servants. He immediately revealed a crying face and said: "The assets of the Time Variance Authority all belong to the Director. The Director hasn't returned, so we have no right to act rashly. How much money can we, these clean and dedicated civil servants, have?"

"Of course, of course, I understand everything." Loki reached out her arm, hugged Mobius's shoulder, and walked forward with him. At the same time, she waved a finger forward and said:

"Don't worry, I'll handle things. People will definitely be arranged, but you don't have to pay the money. It's just that everyone will more or less run into some trouble related to time when they are active in the universe..."

"Ahem, the Time Variance Authority has always been impartial, upholding the principle of being both standard and precise. It is impossible to have any omissions or malpractice during the trial..."

"Of course! A responsible organization that has been operating for so many years must be perfect in every aspect, right?"

"Overpraised. Actually, we also..." Mobius pretended to think for a while and said: "You also know that we civil servants have confidentiality guidelines. How could we tell outsiders about the loopholes in the system?"

"Just like, I could never tell you that the Ragnarok staff in our hands can only be used three times a day, let alone tell you that the light of Ragnarok shot out by the staff can be reflected by any mirror object that can produce strong reflection..."

"Of course, I also couldn't tell you that some charges have been wavering between verbal warnings and innocence for years, such as improper timing of travel, non-temporal illegal profit crimes."

"Likewise, I couldn't tell you that the boundaries of some charges are hard to define, such as the crime of gathering crowds to disturb the timeline, illegal travel ethics crimes..."

"Yes, those charges in front are at the end of the second row of bookshelf 12... That's right, it's the few books behind. Other charges are in the first half of bookshelf 11... Yes, yes, yes, it's the few books you're holding!"

"Ahem, as the most dedicated civil servant, I also have to complain to you a little bit that some guard personnel are not diligent enough."

"For example, the B9 and B11 brothers under the small team led by B-15 are inexplicably very interested in some magical musical instruments."

"Of course, there is also the lady in the U8 team who likes handsome guys very much and never has the heart to hurt them. The search dog equipped in the X6 team actually has no sense of smell at all..."

Loki and Helen were flipping through various books on the bookshelf, while Mobius sat behind the desk smoking and chatting.

After about half an hour, Loki thoroughly understood the professional level of this dedicated and clean civil servant.

At the same time, she and Helen, who loved reading, also fully engaged in a soul exchange with Zhang San in this vast ocean of knowledge regarding behavioral science and ethics, but just not law.

Loki also exerted her talent as the God of Mischief, conducted a heaven-man induction with some weaknesses of some civilizations recorded in the files of various cosmic time criminals, and after mastering them, re-empowered the civilization resource transfer technology industry.

Seeing that the time was about right, Mobius walked up to Loki and said: "Alright, stop messing around. Where are the helpers you mentioned? As far as I know, in the entire universe, there are only a few people who have the ability to break through their own universe, let alone those who can travel between so many universes..."

After speaking, he shook his head again, as if without hope, and said: "Even if there are such people, just one of them alone couldn't conduct a search between so many universes. One more isn't much, one less isn't much."

"Who said I intended to find one person?"

"Then you intend to..."

"You have a cross-universe communication device, right?"

"Yes, who do you intend to call?"

Loki revealed a smile, waved her hand at him, and said: "Just take me there. By the way, prepare the reward. There are many of them."

Mobius walked forward while taking Loki with him, looking at her suspiciously from time to time, but Loki kept maintaining a mysterious smile and said nothing.

The two came to a room with a special machine. Mobius pressed the button and said to Loki: "Think about the person in a certain universe you want to find in your mind, and this machine will help you connect to him."

Loki walked up and said to the speaker of the communicator:

"Hey, Peter? Are you and your spider partners interested in making some extra money?"

Not feeling well, but adding two thousand words.

Sorry for being late. ===== CHAPTER 1087 =====
