The Death Knell

The weather was calm and some days passed on the earth.

"The guy just gave me a fifty-dollar tip."

Loki smiled and hung the iron chain wrapped with red velvet cloth on the guardrail to form an obstacle to divert the crowd, showing off to Thor with some pride.

It didn't take him a few days to master the skills of his new job, that is, he could earn extra income just by being nice and obedient.

Generally speaking, women can enter nightclubs for free, while others have to queue up. After all, the store is so big, and if there are too many people in, no one can have a good time.

Therefore, high-end nightclubs all have the role of "door gods" who guard the red carpet at the door and use iron chains to keep the waiting people out.

When a customer leaves, follow the instructions from the nightclub manager in the headset and let a few people in.

But Loki has a pair of good eyes. He can tell which men in the crowd are rich, so he can use the power of his bigger butt to let them in in advance, say something nice, call him handsome, etc. Everyone tipped generously.

In fact, it is easy to distinguish. Human beings are very simple creatures.

Those who drive up in luxury cars at night and hold their heads high when they get out of the car are successful people.

And those who walked over in twos and threes, with their heads lowered and still drunk, looked like poor people.

"Why can he get in but I can't?! You have to give me an explanation!" A drunkard protested, pointing at the successful man who was let in by Loki.

The black-haired evil god just smiled contemptuously.

‘You don’t have any luck at all, and you still want to enter the gate guarded by the son of my God King? Let's go! ’

He doesn't even need to throw out the troublemakers with his own hands. He only needs a look, and the brother beside him who has fought side by side for thousands of years will take action.

Even if they lose their divine power, the Aesir's physical strength, which is three times that of humans, is still there, and Thor can still throw troublemakers into the trash can with ease.

Thor clapped his hands and returned to Loki, dusting off his black suit with great care, and continued to stand beside Loki, listening to his brother's show off.

The two brothers still lived in the basement shared by Wade, but they now had some money. The first week's salary was about a few hundred dollars, plus the tips they received were divided equally between them. Thor felt that he had never been there before. Unprecedented fun in collaboration.

In the past, in Asgard, even if everyone went hunting together, the prey belonged to him. Afterwards, he would invite his friends to eat together, which was also a reward from the prince to his companions.

But now it's different. We work together and share the harvest equally. This is a fair way of distribution.

"I'm going to buy two cakes later. Do you want a late-night snack?" Thor raised his chin and gestured to the 'Super Cup Cake Shop' across the street. At the same time, he raised the chain in his hand and placed an extremely scantily attired person. The girl enters the store.

Loki also glanced at the small shop opposite that was still open with lights on, and curled his lips speechlessly:

"Are you really going to buy a cupcake? One cupcake costs five dollars, and two cupcakes cost ten bucks. With that money we can buy a lot of burgers or burritos, and we can't get enough of the former...etc. Wait, are you interested in the skin of a mortal again?"

Loki lowered his voice and showed a warning look. If it were thousands of years ago, Thor would be free even if he slept with all the women in a Nordic village.

But times have changed.

Where is this place? New York!

What's in New York? Holy of Holies!

If Thor continues to treat human women like objects as he did before, he may not be displeased by the Supreme Mage, who represents the interests of mankind.

The two brothers who have lost their divine power may be beaten into pieces, and Deathstroke may also report them to Odin. Maybe they say that the two brothers are like mice, full of desire for reproduction and do not study hard at all. of......

Not to mention regaining his supernatural power by then, if things go wrong, he may even lose his current life, and may be directly locked up in a dark cell under the World Tree to face the wall and reflect on his past.

Although I don’t know why Odin attaches great importance to the opinions of this supreme mage, Loki wisely chose not to be too arrogant while living on earth.

Thor's eyes were very clear, and he smiled slowly and shook his head.

He experienced a lot during this trip to the earth, especially after becoming addicted to marijuana, heroin, cocaine, carbonated drinks, fried food, pre-mixed wine, TV programs, etc., he relied on himself again I successfully quit those bad habits with my willpower and the help of my friends.

Now, he felt that his whole being had been sublimated.

He was able to figure out many things that he had been unable to figure out in the past, and he also learned how not to succumb to laziness and physical desires. He thought that he had become a better version of himself.

It didn't matter whether he could regain his divine power or not. He accepted the reality and made arrangements for the future, which was to continue living an ordinary life on earth as a human being.

This is a kind of quiet and inactive state of mind. Looking at the cars still coming and going on the road at night, and people running around for their own desires, Thor smiled indifferently and let it go.

Now, it's easier than ever.

"I don't plan to go back to Asgard." He tilted his head and told his brother, putting his hand on his shoulder and patting him: "I don't know what my father wants me to learn yet, but I know there is a lot worth here. I may not be able to understand all the things I study in my lifetime, so I might as well just let nature take its course and be an ordinary New Yorker."

"......ha?"

Loki looked strange. Did Thor take medicine again? No, Wade said he had no money and couldn't afford those things.

The idiot brother has smoked out several kilograms of Afu's white powder, so she has no money to buy more.

The second prince reached out to touch his brother's forehead. Now, like mortals, they can get sick. Although it is not clear what diseases can cause people to have fever and talk nonsense, Thor is very abnormal now.

His hand was swatted off, and Thor said he was doing well, better than ever.

With each exhalation and inhalation, the smell of perfume and powder around him, as well as the car exhaust on the road, made him feel that he was really alive.

Without the hammer, he is still Thor; without divine power, he is still Thor; even if he is standing here as a doorman, he is still Thor.

Since nothing has changed whether you lose it or not, you should adjust your mentality and enjoy your current life.

While raising his hand to pat Loki's palm, a book fell out of his arms. There was a half-black and half-white pattern drawn on it, and a disheveled old man with a white beard leaning against a stone. Next to it was written A line of Chinese:

"Teaching you step by step how to experience tranquility and inaction".

"What's this?"

Loki picked up the book quickly. As the god of deception, his language skills were very good. He didn't want to ask what book it was, but where Thor got it from.

"Oh, Wade gave it to me a few days ago. He was quite interesting. He wore a red and black tights and covered his face. He said he was playing a superhero. I was resting at home that day, and he threw it to me. This one made me read and play.”

Thor snatched the book back, patted the cover lovingly, and stuffed it back into his arms:

"The most interesting thing is that he left through the window, but the next second he suddenly came in through the door, and his tights disappeared. It was like there were two Wades. I thought He has mastered divine power, haha..."
