greek gods in new york

12

So what if the whole family of friends who grew up together are gods.

Can it be more shocking than a 1:1 restored and really live game model?

I told Meryl the whole story, and she sort of calmed down.

"Uncle John turned out to be Ares, so cool."

She hugged BB and did not let go, sighing in an ethereal tone.

BB, which is full of energy, is always active, and it hasn't seen any living people other than me and Loki.Meryl looked at BB fondly, and BB also looked at her curiously.

The four eyes met, and the little guy in the petri dish "clucked" happily.

Meryl covered her heart, and raised a smile that could be called stupid: "Oh my god, the god of games is, it's..."

I:"……"

It reminds me of when we watched Spider-O: Homecoming together.

In the movie, Peter O. Parker's double identity was easily exposed in front of his good friends. Meryl and I were not surprised that he fell off the horse casually, but were heartbroken because the LEGO Death Star that we had put together so quickly collapsed.

That's the LEGO Death Star, do you know how hard that thing is to put together!

The situation then was the same as it is now.

I couldn't help laughing out loud.

When Meryl heard my laughter, her fluttering sanity finally came back a little.

"So Maggie is Pandora, Mr. Johnson is Hermes, and Kaynas is Loki," she sighed while teasing BB. "Then I forgive him for suddenly falling ill during the game."

"what?"

"He's Loki."

Meryl said earnestly: "If it's Loki, I wouldn't be surprised at all to play tricks."

This... this is true.

Don't say that Meryl thinks so, in fact, I think so too.

If other students did something that suddenly caused trouble at the key competition scene, I would definitely be angry.

However, it was Loki who did this, and while shocked, I was not surprised at all.

To give an inappropriate example, it is a good student who is always excellent in the exam, and suddenly gets a Failing in the exam, and the parents will definitely be angry.

But Rocky belonged to everyone's expectations for him. He was always failing in the exam. As a result, he really took the failing home, and his parents were not surprised at all.

With the psychological construction of "he will definitely cause trouble", he is much more tolerant of Loki.

"However, Nicole," Meryl said again, "now that you know that Zeus has evil intentions, what are you going to do next?"

I... I don't know either.

Get angry when you say it!

My grandpa treats me as a tool, so he is a little bit reconciled no matter how he thinks about it.

As it stands now, Zeus is absolutely untrustworthy, and the New Gods are not at ease.

The only reliable ones are the old gods like Benji and the Stove Lord. They don't care what the outer gods want to do, so they are naturally not interested in the energy of "that thing".

But now they are all in New York.

I have absolutely no idea what to do next.

Even if he absorbed all the Outer Gods and "destroyed" him, what would happen after that?

What should I do with this energy?

"Play well first, let's talk about it when we get back to New York," I replied, "Then I can only rely on myself."

"So now it's the stage of free activities between the main storyline." Meryl straightened the frame of the mirror solemnly, "I haven't given any clues for the next step yet."

"I don't even know which NPC to go to next." I complained.

"Otherwise, when you get home, you can give Uncle John your divine power for a try?"

"Ok?"

Meryl suggested: "You said that energy can be lent to Loki and transformed into the divine power of the old gods. Since Loki can do it, Uncle John should be able to do it too, right? Although I don't know how to restore him to normal, it's okay to try it. .”

Oh too!

Anyway, my dad is no longer the one who shouts and kills at every turn.

Neither the former DEA leader nor the now taciturn autistic bachelor can do much damage.

The point is, my dad is absolutely on my side unconditionally.

"I think it's okay," I agreed, "go back and try."

"Then you must call me when the time comes."

Meryl was thrilled.

Having said that, she finally has the sense of reality that "a family of friends is a god".

"I knew that Uncle John would not be an ordinary person," she muttered, "I've always felt that his face was full of stories...wait a minute."

"what happened?"

"What about Xiao Ke, Xiao Ke is not an ordinary dog!"

Meryl and I just chatted and chatted all night.

After the confession, Meryl also shared some complaints about the quiz with me.From the beginning of the preparation to the present, everyone has been under a lot of pressure, and it is no wonder that she completely exploded after Loki became a demon.

But after speaking, Meryl became much more energetic.

Due to the pressure of public opinion, the contestants had to admit that our results were valid and entered the next round of competition.

Moreover, in order to avoid unnecessary attention, our next game was arranged to the end by the competition.

The popularity of the Internet won't last long. Over time, everyone's attention will be diverted by new events, which is a good thing for us.

Too much sight is bound to lead to stress.

The next day, in the restaurant of the hotel, Meryl, Pandora, and I got together to watch replays of yesterday's game while eating.

What appeared on the screen was the team leader of Tianen Middle School led by Braki.

As expected of the ace team of the elite school, the blond and blue-eyed team leader spoke eloquently, without stage fright, and with something to say. It was obviously an impromptu speech that could be done as if it had been prepared.

This level is not much inferior to that of Rocky running the train with his mouth full.

"It's not easy to deal with."

Meryl's expression was solemn: "It's not easy for us to draw points in the impromptu speech session."

Besides, the judges will definitely be more cautious in scoring in the future - it's all because of Loki's use of divine power.

Pandora clicked her tongue: "I don't like this kind of elite students."

Meryl: "Maggie, uh, Pan, uh..."

Pandora waved her hand nonchalantly: "Call it whatever you like."

Meryl thought for a while: "Then I'd better call you Maggie, so as not to slip up in front of other students."

Pandora: "No, I'll go to Hermes to find a way to prevent Tianen Middle School from winning! These elite students are really too—"

"How about elite students?"

Pandora's words stopped abruptly.

The three of us looked up together, and what we saw was a strange old man.

To say it is an "old man" is a bit inconsistent with his spiritual characteristics.

He did look about sixty or seventy years old, with snow-white hair and a wrinkled face.

But all the same, the old gentleman had a solid build, the result of regular training.He was dressed casually, even somewhat like my dad: some vintage bomber jacket over a white T-shirt and dark trousers, totally bachelor look.

He also had a blindfold over one eye.

"I thought that those who could enter the general competition area of ​​the knowledge competition were all elite students."

He walked over to our table and put one hand on the chair: "May I sit down?"

I glanced at Pandora, then at Meryl, and nodded when I saw that there was no conflict between the two of them.

"Thank you."

The old gentleman sat down.

Before I had time to ask the other party why he came, Meryl who was sitting next to me let out a soft "ah".

She blinked and looked at the old man very curiously: "Sir, you... participated in the Vietnam War?"

"more than."

He was also not polite, and responded to me frankly: "I was there during the Pacific War."

That was World War II.

Sure enough, he is a retired veteran. Judging by his clothes, he should have been a pilot in the past.

"Then you look so young."

Meryl exclaimed, "Not at all!"

The old man laughed a few times.

"Thank you for the compliment, Miss." He even gave Meryl a wink with his remaining eye. "If I were younger, I would take this as flirting."

Meryl: "Uh."

Seeing that she was slightly embarrassed, the old man smiled and continued to speak out: "But now, it can only be seen as a child's flattery to the old man."

Meryl breathed a sigh of relief.

She was still very curious: "Sir, were your eyes injured in the war?"

"No," replied the old man, "before."

earlier?

That is……

Before I could continue to think, he put on a serious tone again: "But you have to remember, boy, in the United States, you can mention the Vietnam War at will, but outside the United States, you will be laughed at."

Meryl: "Huh?"

Pandora and I exchanged glances.

This person doesn't say anything, and his words are a bit inexplicable!

"Don't say that."

The old man is really familiar, he is like a neighbor who has known us for many years and watched us grow up.Talking with us, the expression and tone are very kind.

"We have to work hard for the game, didn't the pressure affect our life?" he asked.

"No, no."

Seeing Meryl in a daze, I answered for her: "Sir, you—"

The old man continued: "Then what is the relationship between Loki and you?"

I:"……"

Pandora: "..."

I knew that the one who took the initiative to come to the door would not be an ordinary person.

Those who know Loki's identity are either new gods or old gods.

Judging by his appearance, he is probably an old god.

I frowned and looked at the other party again.

The old man spoke standard northern American English. He also said that he had participated in World War II and the Vietnam War, so he was a retired veteran.

But when talking to Meryl, it said "your country".

His identity cannot be deduced from his experience, but his appearance——

My eyes finally fell on the old man's blindfold.

"you."

My mood is quite complicated: "Are you Odin?"

The "World War II Veteran" sitting opposite gave me a kind smile.

Ok.

Blakey and Eden are both in Los Angeles.

So in Norse mythology, the heavenly father, the king of the gods, and Loki's brother Odin is also there, so what's the problem?
