Chapter 458 Loki's gift to Riven: Happy Birthday

"Things are getting a little complicated."

Loki exhaled and said to Raven, who was also frowning.

"Miss Chris, right? I remember your name. I am very interested in Mr. Marbury's collection. Maybe you can take me around the castle."

Loki turned his attention to the maid next to him.

The words he spoke contained some hypnotic magic. For ordinary people like the maid, the effect was to make them completely obey Loki.

The maid felt mentally dazed for a while, and the image of Loki in front of her turned into Marbury. She blinked and nodded towards Loki, "Okay, sir."

"Thank you, Miss Chrissy."

Loki thanked the other party gracefully.

Then he followed the other person around the castle.

Raven, on the other hand, stayed in front of Marbury's bed, quietly looking at the old man lying on the bed who had fallen into a deep sleep.

The corridors in the castle are filled with ancient oil paintings. The characters in the paintings have gloomy faces, as if they are about to walk out of the frame at any time.

The candlesticks on the wall were crumbling, emitting a faint light, adding to the eerie atmosphere.

Loki breathed in the faint smell of fermentation and decay in the air, followed the maid, and looked at the surrounding furnishings.

"Where does Mr. Marbury go most often on weekdays?"

Loki asked the maid.

"basement."

The mentally affected maid told Loki the information she knew without any secret.

"Hmm, very good. Please take me there, Miss Chrissy."

"Okay, sir."

A few minutes later, Loki followed the maid to the basement.

Looking at the huge glass ball placed in the basement, Loki slowly walked up to him.

"What's this?"

I don't know when, Raven suddenly appeared behind Loki and asked him.

"A huge glass ball that is supposed to trap the Sandman's entity."

As Loki spoke, he walked to the glass ball and reached out to touch the glass wall.

"But now it's a pity that this cage did not trap the Sandman in the end."

Loki said regretfully.

At the same time, Loki glanced at the magic circle on the ground.

There is wear and tear on one corner of the magic circle, and traces have been erased.

He turned to Raven and said, "It seems that the rupture of the magic circle caused the Sandman to escape."

Raven looked at Loki's regretful expression and thought to herself, "The Sandman escaped. You seem to feel more regretful than anyone else."

It was clearly you, the culprit, who summoned the innocent Sandman in the first place.

Although Loki was not responsible for the imprisonment, Raven felt that Loki was more like the conspirator behind it.

She had some doubts about whether Loki had done all this on purpose.

And she didn't expect that her brother would be so evil and always wanted Sandman to be imprisoned.

After complaining about Loki in her heart, Raven's eyes accidentally spotted a bottle of pills placed on the table next to her.

She picked up the medicine bottle, looked at the pills inside, and asked Loki curiously: "What medicine is this?"

Loki came over, checked the ingredients of the pill, and said to Raven: "It is a psychotropic drug that is used to stimulate the user's brain and prevent him from falling asleep."

Loki put down the medicine, pointed to the huge glass dome, and said to Raven: "I guess Marbury hired a guard to sit here all the time, staring at the Sandman, in order to prevent himself from being killed by the Sandman while sleeping. Sneaking into the dream, the watcher takes this drug to keep himself awake and not be dreamed by the Sandman. "

"Why do you know this, Loki? Did you teach Marbury to imprison Sandman?"

After hearing what Loki said, Raven looked at him suspiciously.

"No, of course not. Although I am not as great and upright as Clark, I am not a bad person."

Loki immediately denied that he was the one behind it.

"Really? But I heard from dad that you stabbed Azu with a knife when you were a child, and you also pretended to be a snake to scare Clark. This is not something a good person would do."

Raven reveals what Peter told her about the bad things Loki did when he was a child.

Loki: "."

His face became a little abnormal, and he coughed, "Don't you know that people will mature? We all did some ridiculous things when we were children, Raven, but as we grow up, we will all become mature."

"Yeah?"

"Of course, we are brother and sister. I can't lie to you. We are a family and you are my sister."

Rocky says a family will not lie to each other.

"Miss Chrissy."

After talking to Raven for a few words, Loki turned his attention to the maid.

"Can you take me to Mr. Marbury's study?"

"OK."

The maid nodded dullly, turned and left.

Loki followed the maid and walked towards the master's study of the castle.

Raven didn't know what he wanted to do, so she quickly followed his footsteps.

After entering Marbury's study, Rocky looked at the furnishings in front of him.

The study room, which was blocked from the sunlight by curtains, still looked a little dim even if the lights were turned on.

Loki rummaged through the bookshelves casually, and finally set his sights on a locked cabinet.

"What are you looking for?"

Raven felt strange and asked him.

"nothing."

Loki bent down, reached out and touched the lock, and the metal lock opened with a sound.

Reaching into the locker, Loki pulled out a book.

"It seems I'm lucky, I found a treasure right away."

"What's this?"

Raven looked at the black-covered book in Loki's hand and asked him in confusion.

The cover of the book exuded a strange magical aura, which made her frown slightly.

"This is the Book of Magdalene. They used this book to summon the God of Death."

Loki handed the book to her, "It records all kinds of strange magic, dark magic from hell, death, or other dark dimensions. Although I am a little interested, it is obviously not suitable for me."

Raven held the thick magic book and felt the magic breath coming from her fingers. She raised her head, took a deep breath and looked at Loki with a complicated expression, "You mean, you gave me this book?" "

"Yes, as your birthday present, isn't it your birthday in a week?"

Loki said about Raven's birthday, "It's a little sudden, Raven, but I want to say happy birthday in advance."

"I"

Hearing Loki's sudden birthday congratulations, Raven didn't know what to say.

Although her brother seemed a bit unreliable on weekdays, and he always had no idea what he was thinking, and often got into trouble, but she still didn't expect to receive Loki's birthday gift suddenly here.

"Thank you, brother."

Raven exhaled and thanked Loki.

Ruiwen has always been able to feel the love and care given to her by her brother.

On his birthday last year, Rocky gave himself a beautiful hat.

Although that hat soon became unusable due to my rapid physical growth, it was the best gift I had ever received besides the gift my father gave me.

"You're welcome."

Loki saw Raven's expression, and a trace of pride flashed in his eyes.

He only needed to take a slight action, and Ruiwen obediently called him brother.

"Okay, it's getting late, we have to go."

Loki coughed and said to Raven: "About Sandman's escape, we have to go back and tell our father immediately."

Raven nodded and walked outside.

"etc!"

After taking two steps, Loki suddenly stopped her.

"I forgot something very important."

Loki walked over to the locker and snapped his fingers.

A fake "Book of Magdalene" projected by him appeared in his hand.

He put the fake Book of Magdalene into the locker and locked it again.

Facing the confused look from Raven, he explained to her: "I just don't want to make it difficult for Miss Chris."

Looking towards the maid, Loki thanked her again, "Thank you for your help, Miss Chrissy."

The maid who was mentally hypnotized looked at Loki blankly, not knowing what was going on.

Then Rocky took out two "Franklins" from his pocket and put them in her hand, "This is a tip. I am very satisfied with Miss Chris's service."

Raven looked at Loki's actions with a flash of surprise in her heart.

She didn't expect Loki to tip the other party.

Raven suddenly understood that although Loki used the maid under hypnosis, he didn't seem to be doing anything like a good person.

But Loki and his father are actually the same on the inside. They always have a set of bottom lines and certain things they stick to.

I actually don’t know this brother very well.

metropolis.

In front of the ruined Daily Planet building, construction workers were busy clearing away debris and construction waste.

A man wearing a black windbreaker with sickly pale skin appeared in front of the building.

He gave people a mysterious and dark feeling. He squatted down and picked up a grain of sand from the ground.

Staring at the insignificant speck of sand in front of him, his eyes saw how the building to which the speck of sand belonged collapsed.

A loud explosion exploded in the building. Zod's heat vision knocked away the superhuman who was wearing a blue and black uniform. Then the superhuman with the stars and stripes behind him punched Zod away.

In the deafening explosion, the building began to collapse in the panic of the crowd.

Dust filled the air, and grains of sand crashed down along with the buildings.

Standing up, the pale man with messy black hair let the sand fall from his fingers to the ground.

Looking up at the surroundings, he was surrounded by the ruins of buildings. Even without being present at the scene, he could feel the extent of the fighting here.

"Superman?"

He murmured something in a low voice, and his eyes became much deeper.

After taking a long look at the workers and buildings in front of him, the man was about to leave when a voice suddenly stopped him from behind.

"Dream God."
