"What did he do to you?" Schiller looked at Loki opposite and asked. Now they were the only two people around, because Stark went to laugh at Strange again, and Strange waved away and left.
Stark also left because he was bored.
"He didn't do anything." Loki, still in a daze, said, "He didn't become a cruel lunatic, he just became a normal person."
"He imprisoned you?"
"Absolutely." Loki wrung his fingers and said, "I kept getting out of his control, and one time after I did something outrageous as usual, he put me under house arrest."
"how long?"
"Two hundred years." Loki took a deep breath and said, "Until he became the God King, Asgard at that time had completely forgotten my existence."
"Only he remembers you."
"Yes, I know this, but he also acted as if he had completely forgotten me." Loki finally showed a pained expression and said, "He didn't come to see me."
"This is not a completely unbearable time for Asgardians." Schiller thought for a while and said, "Perhaps it is equivalent to ten years?"
"But he didn't come to see me." Loki raised his voice and said, "We have been by each other's side from the moment we can remember, and this time he has not even come to see me once in twelve hundred years.
He's absolutely crazy!"
"You are the one who is crazy." Schiller looked into Loki's eyes and said, "You always think that he will come, and it is painful to have hope."
"Of course he will." Loki widened his eyes and said, "There's no way he would give up on me. This is totally unreasonable!"
"He may just want to teach you a little lesson, or he may be completely disappointed in you. It is even more likely that he is busy with his great career as a god king and has completely forgotten about you."
"This is impossible!" Loki's voice almost attracted the attention of the people next to him. He quickly realized this and lowered his voice and said: "This is completely nonsense. I have caused much more trouble than this before.
"
"But when you no longer regard him as the main target of temptation, you should expect that the chain will one day loosen or even break. If you let him care about you, you must let him care about you all the time.
If you let go, you have to accept that he might disappear without a trace."
Loki swallowed, suddenly stared at Schiller's face and said, "Who are you?"
Schiller showed a bright smile and said: "A person who is very similar to you, but does better than you."
"Your failure is ultimately because you have invested too much emotion, which makes you lose yourself and no longer have confidence that you are the absolute subject. Once you start worrying about gains and losses, you will never give up until you test out an answer."
"It's like if you raise a fish, it will kiss your finger obediently every time you feed it. You think you have tamed it, but you always have doubts, so one day you bring the fish tank to the beach."
"You poured the fish into the sea and held the food in your hands, thinking that only in this case would it come back, and you would have truly tamed it, but it didn't come back, it disappeared."
"Maybe it will come back once or twice, but one day it will disappear. The moment you doubt whether you have tamed it, the outcome is doomed."
Loki looked at Schiller in silence. He saw a strange soul in that familiar face, which looked thousands of times more evil than him.
"What tames a fish is never the food in your hand or your hands, nor your diligence and dedication, but the fish tank that traps it, and the situation in which it has no choice."
"If you were three brothers instead of two, if your brother had a brother who was more like him or more like Odin, do you think he would still choose you?"
"That's enough." Loki stared at him and said, "There is no such possibility. He only has me as his brother."
"Don't be so excited." Schiller said lightly: "At least you are not stupid enough. Thor on the main timeline knows nothing. You can pretend that your previous failed temptation never happened and continue to be with his brother and friends.
My brother Gong, whitewash peace."
Schiller leaned forward, kept a smile, looked at Loki with smiling eyes, and said word for word: "You won't bring the fish tank to the beach for the second time, right?"
Loki clenched his fists, and his fingertips almost pierced his palm, then he opened his trembling hands and pressed his fingertips tightly on the table.
"You are patient." Schiller still smiled and said: "Try to suppress the devil in your heart that wants to do this, but I said, the moment you have doubts, the outcome is doomed."
"No, it can't be like this." Loki's expression was completely broken. He leaned closer and said, "Really, Thor wouldn't do this to me."
"It doesn't matter whether you know he will or not. What matters is that you want to try. Even one success will not satisfy you, because you are always thinking about previous failures and always want to make the conditions more demanding to ensure your success.
It was really successful, but that would only make the fish swim back to the sea faster."
Loki took a deep breath, turned his head and looked up with his eyes. He suddenly realized something, turned his head and stared at Schiller fiercely and said: "This is all your conspiracy. You asked me to try it."
"I just indulged you." Schiller said with a smile: "I didn't warn you of the possible bad consequences, but it definitely can't be called instigation."
"What do you want to do?"
"I didn't want to do anything at first." Schiller thought for a while, as if he was searching his memory, and then said: "Oh, do you still remember that one time you all stayed away from me..."
Schiller did not seem to be recalling his own affairs, but just telling the experience of another person in the first person. He said: "Some people fired me, some stopped letting me treat them, and some even stopped seeing me.
Yes, do you remember that time?"
Loki looked at him, wondering why he suddenly mentioned this.
"I learned from some source that this suggestion was made by you." Schiller said: "You told one of them that maybe this would be beneficial to me, and then everything happened."
Loki heard Schiller mutter: "Strange is just a cover. Greed originally planned to take revenge... God, this list of enemies is really long. It should be said about his revenge.
Isn’t it too inefficient?”
Loki was simply stunned. He looked at Schiller and said, "Don't tell me, this is what this whole incident is about?"
"Wait a moment." Schiller made a gesture, and then began to remember again, as if he was rummaging for something. Suddenly he said: "Oh, I found it... The original script seems to be like this."
"You were very proud of yourself some time ago. It can be said that you made up for the last regret in your life, which was your status in Asgard. You became the prince among thousands of people. You are so high-spirited."
"But recently, you haven't been so satisfied. Your desire to have offspring has never been satisfied. You always hit a wall, and you still can't find the root of the problem."
"Such ups and downs of mood will cause a flaw in your temporarily stable spirit. You are in urgent need of psychological comfort. Generally speaking, the comfort in this situation can only be brought to you by Thor."
"Thor in the real world is very busy. You can't ask an expectant father whose child is about to be born to give all his attention to you, or you are afraid that you may ask so, but he will refuse you."
"But you know that there is one person who will never reject you, and that is Thor in his youth. He will always stand firmly on your side and always focus the most attention on you."
"But things have changed and people have changed. You two have achieved the ending you wanted, but that period has passed and it can never come back again... right?"
"When I decided to travel back in time to fill in a background story for myself, I realized that I could use my actions to hint to you that although the past has passed, it does not mean that you cannot go back to the past. What a tributary of time.
Wonderful tool that allows you to experiment harmlessly... but it's like a Pandora's box."
"Once you open it and the result inside is not what you want, everything is irreversible. You will inevitably bring the fish tank to the beach again and again until all the fish are released."
"Because of that suggestion I once made?" Loki said angrily: "I swear, it was not to tease you. I thought it would really have an effect, and in fact it did!"
"Yes, so this kind of revenge is meaningless." Schiller said: "Most of the revenge behaviors of greed are meaningless. Rather than revenge, it is more like looking for a reason to deepen the connection with you."
Loki seemed to understand something, and he said: "So he has a perfect solution, right? Just like what he did to others, not only will it not really hurt me, but it will also be beneficial."
"Yes, the original plan is like this. You will just be sad and depressed for a period of time. That is what he calls revenge, but in the end you will still benefit from it, and then both of you will gently reveal the past.
, as a harmless joke."
"So how to solve it?" Loki felt his throat was a little dry and said, "How to make Thor unswervingly choose me?"
Schiller suddenly laughed, and Loki realized that he seemed to be a little too straightforward, but he still looked at Schiller anxiously.
"Thor has always chosen you." Schiller said: "He doesn't come to see you not because he has forgotten you or because he wants to teach you a lesson, but because he wants to protect you."
"But even if he comes to see me, no one can..."
"Stephen thinks that Asgard is still persecuting you, and he always wants to take you away. You know what an extreme person he is. Do you think that a Supreme Mage with extreme thoughts will not cause harm to the newly ascended Thunder God Thor?"
Is it troublesome?"
Loki was silent, and then he stared at Schiller and said, "So you asking me to seduce Strange was just a pretense. You just wanted to shape his extreme emotions."
"Yes." Schiller nodded and said, "This method of playing with emotions is too low-level. I just wanted him to force Thor."
"Then even if he locks me up, he can still see me."
"No, he can't. Have you forgotten the Eye of Agamotto?" Schiller said with a smile: "It's like a time bomb left inside Asgard. You brought it in yourself and you still carry it with you.
Being around, any move Thor makes may cause this big bomb to explode."
Loki opened his mouth. He could imagine how things would develop. Even if Thor only locked him up for a day, the atmosphere would not be very good when they met again. And if Stephen saw all this, with his extreme
With his character, we still don’t know what the trouble will be like.
But honestly speaking, if Thor wanted to take that thing away, Loki would never give it to him. Even if he only imprisoned him for a day, Loki would definitely not give it to him in anger.
Thor knew this, so he neither wanted nor could see Loki under the surveillance of the Eye of Agamotto.
So the three of them together formed such a dead end.
Loki took a deep breath, stared at Schiller with a gloomy gaze and said, "You have guessed the reaction of each of us."
"So I just have to make the best of it."
"Let me worry about gain and loss."
"That way you can take the bait."
"Then I will treat you as the savior."
"I've been doing this."
"You don't look guilty."
"Because there is no need." Schiller said: "The treatment you proposed is effective, but the disappearance or weakening of a symptom does not mean health, or that the symptoms you think are morbid are actually healthy enough.
"You have proven that you cannot accept what is at the bottom of the lake, so stop trying to break the calm on the surface."
