Wanjie Hotel: Iron Man is not allowed to charge

第173章 8月30日，诡计之神洛基欠账100美刀(7K求月票)
"Hello sir."

Charon looked up when he heard the question: "What are you going to the rooftop garden for?"

"I need to go get a hammer."

The handsome man looked around, sensing no danger, and smiled slightly: "That's my hammer. I want to take it."

"Your hammer? Are you sure it's not your brother Thor's hammer?"

Charon gave a strange smile.

The visitor paused for a moment, then asked, "How did you know?"

"I also know your name is Loki."

Charon pressed the combat power detector and then said, "Are you going to take the hammer and leave, or have a cup of tea first and then go get it?"

Loki looked at Charon with suspicion, wondering how a mere mortal could know the great god of mischief and chat with him so casually.

"I'll go check on the hammer first."

Loki raised his chin: "What reward do you want?"

Charon smiled modestly and said, "A tip."

Loki reached into his pocket and pulled out a wad of green bills: "Is this enough?"

"The Iron Hotel does not accept counterfeit money, and it only accepts gold."

Charon pressed the button to open the elevator and gestured for Loki to go inside.

Loki looked at the other person in surprise and doubt, and the green banknote in his hand turned into green light spots and disappeared.

He couldn't understand how a mere mortal could see through his magic.

I am a god!

How could my magic be seen through by mortals?
What exactly is going on with this hotel?

The elevator quickly arrived at the top floor, and Charon led Loki to the stone tiger statue: "Yuanlong, please take out Thor's hammer."

Yuanlong looked up at Charon, lifted his buttocks, grabbed Thor's hammer with his claws, and casually tossed it toward Charon.

"Walter?"

Loki stared in astonishment at the scene before him.

This is Thor's hammer!
No one can lift this hammer except my bastard brother!
How could that mechanical pterosaur have been picked up so easily?

However, what surprised Loki even more was that Charon caught Thor's hammer as easily as catching a brick, and then handed it to him.

"You're not trying to fool me with a fake hammer, are you?"

Loki reached out in surprise and doubt, and the hammer really did fall into his hands like a brick.

"We also suspected that the hammer might be fake, but it really did fall from the sky. Could you please take it to your brother?"

Charon waved goodbye to Yuanlong, Yuanshe, and Yuanying, then led Loki towards the elevator: "Excuse me, did you bring any gold?"

Loki was still in shock. He couldn't believe that Thor's hammer, which he had never been able to lift since childhood, was now being tossed around like a toy.

“I said, tip.”

The elevator reached the first floor, and Charon looked at Loki again. Loki smiled and said, "Since you know Mjolnir, you should know that I am a god."

Therefore, I can grant you one wish.

Charon looked at the other man and laughed, "Are you broke?"

Loki's smile immediately turned somewhat awkward. He never expected this human to be so tactless: "I said, I can grant you one wish."

"Then I'll put it on your tab."

Charon took out his phone from his pocket and read aloud as he wrote: "August 30th, Loki, the god of mischief, owes $100."

"What?! Fuck!"

Loki was so angry at how seriously the other party was taking his debt to him that his nose almost twisted: "I am a god, the mighty god of mischief, how could I possibly owe you a mere 100 dollars?"

Charon laughed and said, "It's alright. Many time travelers run into debt the first time they come here. It's not shameful. Just work hard to earn money and pay back the boss later."

"Many, time travelers?"

While Loki was thinking about how to teach this rude human a lesson, he suddenly heard two words that surprised him.

"Yes, if you don't believe me, you can try summoning Heimdall and see if he can take you away with the Rainbow Bridge."

Charon's words surprised Loki even more.

Humans actually know about the Rainbow Bridge and its guardian deity in our Asgard realm.
Yes, he must have heard many ancient legends, after all, there are legends about our Aesir gods in Midgard.

"Hehe, it's just a small hotel."

Loki smiled dismissively, looked up and called out, "Heimdall."

1 seconds.

3 seconds.

5 seconds.

I've taken countless teleportations before, but I never arrived as expected.

The air suddenly became quiet.

"Is that man cosplaying Loki? He looks kind of silly."

"Loki wasn't very smart to begin with, but he was redeemed in the end because he was funny and likable. By the way, his solo TV series was really good; he even became a god."

"Isn't it all to clear his name? Besides, Loki in the main universe is still dead."

……

Mana and the other girls whispered among themselves as they looked at Loki, who was standing at the elevator entrance staring at the ceiling.

This hilarious cosplayer is just as funny as Luo Ji himself.

Loki remained in the position of shouting with his head tilted back, his eyes somewhat unfocused.

"Heimdall must be quite busy."

"I'll say it one more time."

"Heimdall!"

……

1 seconds.

3 seconds.

5 seconds.

An awkward atmosphere continued to spread through the air.

Charon chuckled, "How about we try somewhere else? Like, in front of the hotel?"

"Ah, yes, yes, that must be it. The room must be blocking Heimdall's view. I'll go outside."

Loki walked quickly outside, eager to leave this place that had driven him to despair.

Moreover, he had already secretly decided that he would punish Heimdall, that negligent fellow, severely when he got back.

"Heimdall!"

As soon as he stepped out of the hotel lobby, Loki couldn't help but look up and shout.

Unsurprisingly, he shouted in vain once again.

Just then, Index and Misaka Mikoto skipped out together. They looked at Loki, who was looking up at the sky, and were a little puzzled. They couldn't help but look up as well.

"The moon is so bright tonight."

"It's really bright."

"Uncle, what are you looking at?"

Loki awkwardly straightened his neck: "I'm looking at the moon too."

"Then you can take your time looking at it. We need to hurry back to school to sleep. We can't stay out all night again! The dorm supervisor will deduct a ton of points!"

"Touma said I'm a bad girl for not coming home at night, which is infuriating."

Index and Misaka Mikoto waved goodbye to Loki, then skipped and hopped toward the crossroads.

Loki breathed a slight sigh of relief when he saw the two girls leave. Just as he was about to catch that wretched human and interrogate him to find out what had happened, he caught a glimpse of something that surprised him.

"Am I seeing things? Those two children just vanished into thin air?"

Charon nodded and said, "You're not mistaken, it really has disappeared. If you want to summon Heimdall, you just need to go to that crossroads."

Upon hearing Charon's words, Loki rushed to the crossroads.

However, just as he reached the crossroads, he let out a scream.

"Farke! Farke! Farke!"

Loki looked down at Thor's hammer, which had slammed into his foot, tears welling up in his eyes: "Why did this damn hammer suddenly become so heavy?"

Thor's hammer was sealed by Odin, the king of the gods, and it cannot be lifted by anyone who is not approved by him.

Why did this damn hammer suddenly turn back into its original form as soon as it reached this intersection?
If I hadn't been physically strong, that blow would have broken my foot.

Loki cursed and turned to look at the eerie hotel, only to see something even more astonishing.

The hotel vanished into thin air!
Waterfak.

Did I see a ghost tonight?

Did someone cast a spell on me?

Thor?

Impossible. That intellectually challenged idiot studied for over a thousand years and ended up with nothing to show for it.

Only I inherited my mother's magical talent!

Who is playing a trick on me?

I am the God of Tricks! How dare anyone try to outsmart me?
Loki looked around suspiciously, but no matter how powerful his magic was used to investigate, he couldn't find the person who was playing tricks on him.

Left with no other option, he could only tentatively shout to the sky, "Heimdall!"

"Om-"

When Loki heard the familiar sound of the Rainbow Bridge, he had never been happier. He excitedly grabbed Mjolnir, ready to return to Asgard, but he watched helplessly as Mjolnir was left behind, and in the blink of an eye, he was back in Asgard.

"Do not--"

Loki glared furiously at Heimdall before him: "Why? Why didn't you teleport Mjolnir back with me?"

Wearing golden armor, Heimdall shrugged: "I'm sorry, Thor's hammer is enchanted by the God-King, and I have no power to break the God-King's spell."

Upon hearing Odin's incantation, Loki immediately became quiet, but then asked, "I kept calling you, why didn't you respond?"

"Didn't you only shout it once?"

Heimdall looked at Loki with a puzzled expression.

Loki angrily retorted, "Heimdall, you lied! I called you three times and you didn't respond. You only brought me back on the fourth time! Aren't you neglecting your duties?"

Heimdall was also furious: "I have guarded the Rainbow Bridge for thousands of years, monitoring the nine realms, and have never made a mistake."

Loki looked at Heimdall with suspicion and uncertainty: "You didn't make a mistake. Could there be something wrong with the hotel I just went to?"

"hotel?"

Heimdall looked at Loki with a puzzled expression: "You were indeed missing for a while. I couldn't find where you went. I thought you had cast a spell to hide yourself."

Loki was even more surprised: "I've vanished from the spot."

"Yes!"

Heimdall stated with absolute certainty, "They were missing for a total of 8 minutes."

A strange light flashed in Loki's eyes.

I was missing for 8 minutes?

What exactly is that hotel?
Why can an ordinary human and a robotic dinosaur there wield Thor's hammer so easily?

Moreover, they seemed to know a lot about me and Asgard.

What is going on here?

Loki's eyes swept across the distant sky, his curiosity about the place called the Iron Hotel growing ever stronger.

Where is Thor?

"He was drinking in a bar in Midgard, and now there's a fight going on; he's been beaten up."

"very good."

Loki walked toward his palace, reminiscing about the magical hotel as he went.

result.

next second.

"What? How did I end up at this crossroads again?"

Loki looked at the Iron Hotel in front of him in astonishment, feeling as if he were dreaming.

What kind of magic is this?
How come I can't detect any trace of magic or energy fluctuations?
Loki involuntarily took a step back.

As a result, in a flash, he found himself back in Asgard.

"What exactly is going on?"

Loki's clever mind raced as he quickly recalled everything that had happened that night. When the Iron Hotel reappeared in his mind, the scene before him changed.

It's another crossroads.

"So that's it."

Loki immediately understood what was going on, and he confidently stepped back towards the hotel.

"Hello, Loki, are you here to pay off a debt?"

Charon, who had been waiting at the door, politely looked at Loki, whose confident expression immediately turned into embarrassment: "Uh, I'll bring gold next time."

I wanted to ask, where exactly is this hotel located, and why can't Heimdall detect it?

Charon smiled and said, "This is a spatial rift. If you want to know the details, please bring your brother Thor along. I'd like to explain it to you together."

"Thor? We must bring him along?"

Loki narrowed his eyes: "Why?"

"Yes, this was arranged by our boss. He was afraid that if you knew the whole truth, you would bully your brother again."

Charon smiled apologetically, "This shouldn't be difficult for you."

“It’s not difficult at all. I’ll go find him now.” Loki gave a strange smile and started to walk out, but before he had taken a few steps, Charon’s voice rang out again: “Please do not use your mirror image magic. It won’t work on me.”

Loki's figure vanished abruptly as he walked away, and then a figure appeared, heading towards the stairs. He looked at Charon in astonishment and doubt: "How is this possible? How could you see through my magic?"

"Your magic is basically useless at the Iron Hotel."

As Charon spoke, he turned his head to one side: "Are you trying to ambush me? If so, don't blame me for sounding the alarm."

Loki, who was walking towards the stairs, vanished on the spot, and a figure of Loki appeared next to Charon.

This time, Loki believed it completely.

This hotel is amazing!
The spells of Odin, the god-king, on Thor's hammer were ineffective.

Even my clone magic can be easily seen through by a human.

Have I stumbled into the city of gods?

Is the human in front of me just an ancient god disguised as a human to tease me?

Loki's face finally showed some seriousness: "I'm becoming more and more curious about this hotel."

"Trust me, you'll like the Iron Hotel even more in the future."

Charon pointed to the area outside the counter: "Please stand outside. I don't like people taking my workstation unless you want to work for the boss."

Well, barring any unforeseen circumstances, you'll be working for the boss in 18 years.

"Walter?"

Loki looked at Charon in astonishment: "Me! The mighty God of Mischief! You're saying I'll be working for your boss, a human, in 18 years?"

Loki laughed in exasperation.

Even if he suspected that the hotel was opened by an ancient god, he was still amused and annoyed.

"I'm destined to become the God King of the Nine Realms, how could I possibly work in a run-down hotel?"

"This shabby hotel isn't even worthy of carrying my shoes!"

Charon smiled and nodded: "It's okay if you don't come. You can choose to have Thanos snap your neck then."

"Hahahaha!"

Loki laughed hysterically: "Do you want to hear what you're saying?"

Loki felt like he had heard a huge joke.

Asgard is at its zenith, and Odin, the king of the gods, is awe-inspiring throughout the nine realms. He himself is about to succeed Odin as the new king of the nine realms.

And then you tell me I'll get choked by Thanos in the future?
What about funny?

Charon was also somewhat helpless: "The boss said that it's only fair if your brother comes along. You'd better bring Thor now so you can find out your future fate as soon as possible."

Hearing Charon's confident words, Loki became suspicious. Could it be that this man hadn't lied to me at all?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask, "Who is the owner of your hotel? Is he some ancient god? I want to see him."

You won't see him tonight; he has something to do.

Charon said apologetically, "I can help you book an appointment for the afternoon after tomorrow."

"The day after tomorrow afternoon?"

Loki was somewhat dissatisfied: "Why not tomorrow?"

"Because his appointments are full for tomorrow, and we have a time traveler's husband who is dying tomorrow, so we need to hold a funeral. Would you like to attend?"

Charon's words calmed Loki's discontent slightly. He looked up at the dome of the hotel lobby and felt that the building seemed to be hiding countless secrets.

Just as he was about to say something, a short man ran out of the hotel.

When the short man saw Charon, he politely stopped to say goodbye: "Charon, I'm going back now."

Charon saw Goku and quickly squatted down: "How was your training today? Are you satisfied with the gravity chamber?"

"This is so awesome! I feel like the training intensity I experienced with Master Roshi is nothing compared to what I'm doing here."

A few hours of practice here is equivalent to a week of practice there.

Little Wukong was filled with excitement.

It's clear that he's very satisfied with the gravity chamber.

"Keep it up, I believe you can become a Super Saiyan soon."

Charon and Goku bumped fists, and Goku ran outside the hotel with a grin and shouted into the air, "Flying Nimbus!"

The pure white somersault cloud immediately landed at his feet: "I'm leaving now, I'll come again tomorrow, Charon, goodbye Master John."

Loki was somewhat surprised to see the strange little child disappear quickly at the crossroads on a cloud.

Is this also a time traveler?
Just then, a steady voice rang out: "Charon, you'll have to work hard tonight. I have some things to take care of and will be back tomorrow morning."

"John, you've gotten even stronger?"

Charon felt the immense pressure emanating from John and couldn't help but exclaim, "I also want to try my hand at the gravity chamber!"

"Wait a little longer, the super soldier serum will be ready for injection soon. It will be safer to enter after you have received the injection."

John patted Charon on the shoulder, glanced casually at Loki, and then paused: "Loki?"

"Yes."

Loki was surprised that someone else recognized him.

What is going on here?

Am I that famous at this hotel?

"Do you need me to stay?"

John glanced cautiously at Charon. He knew very well how cunning Loki was, and how difficult it was to defend against Loki's magic.

Charon shook his head and pointed to the combat capability detector he was wearing: "Don't worry, there's no problem. Go and take care of your own business, don't miss tomorrow morning's funeral."

"it is good."

John said nothing more and strode towards the crossroads.

Seeing John disappear again, Loki was no longer surprised. He was silent for a moment, then asked, "What time is the funeral?"

Nine o'clock.

"I will be there on time."

Loki took one last look at the hotel before disappearing into the crossroads.

Charon shook his head. At this moment, Loki's hostility towards his own brother was at its peak, and he never mentioned going to find Thor to see his fate.

Perhaps it's arrogance that makes them disbelieve in such things.

But their wariness of Thor was truly obvious.

Is that throne really that important?
In the end, wasn't it easily taken away by your sister Hela?

……

At seven o'clock in the morning, the activity room of the Iron Hotel became lively as one time traveler after another, wearing Kryptonian glasses, walked in.

Everyone was dressed in black, talking quietly about recent events, their eyes involuntarily glancing towards the entrance of the activity room.

"Bulma, why are you wearing black clothes?"

Little Wukong kept tugging at his clothes, feeling very uncomfortable.

Bulma, unusually, did not scold Goku, but patiently explained, "Because someone died, we need to show respect for the deceased."

"Well, I was also sad for a long time when Grandpa died. I hope Malena can be as happy as I am soon."

Little Wukong walked up to Arthur and said, "Arthur, you should tell Malena more jokes. Listening to your jokes will cheer her up."

"Of course, but these two days are not suitable. I will choose another time in a few days to bring new joy to Malena."

Arthur picked up Little Goku: "Don't worry, Malena is my family too."

"The hotel has a gravity chamber now, do you want to come and train?" Little Wukong asked.

"Of course, I'm waiting for my boss to inject me with the super soldier serum."

Arthur's eyes were full of longing: "I want to catch up with Goku."

"Hehe, how about trying to tell jokes in the gravity chamber?"

Little Wukong suddenly had a brilliant idea: "Tell a joke about someone who can't walk."

"Great idea, I'll think carefully about how to make this joke funny."

Arthur's eyes lit up; he thought this was excellent material.

Just then, Bruce, dressed in a black suit, walked up to Arthur: "Arthur, you've gone too far, robbing a bank like this."

"I didn't rob a bank; I robbed the root causes of suffering for gangsters."

Arthur shook his head and looked at Bruce with a serious expression: "Keeping that money will only lead them to a deeper abyss of suffering."

"Arthur, why have you become like this?"

A flicker of pain crossed Bruce's eyes; he absolutely did not want to see Arthur descend into the abyss of crime again.

Just then, Harley walked over: "Bruce, why are you imposing your ideas on Arthur?"
Arthur chose the same path as you, using violence to combat violence, except you are a superhero and he is an anti-hero.

Different paths, but the same result.

Your measures alone won't save Gotham. Instead of wasting time, you should be thinking about how to deal with the impending League of Shadows.
I've received word that their advance troops have arrived.

Bruce clenched his fists. He knew all too well that this woman had definitely influenced Arthur's downfall, but he couldn't catch them in the act.

This is quite frustrating.

Just then, Goku suddenly reached out and waved to Bruce: "Aren't you all fighting bad guys? Why are you arguing? Is there a bad guy you can't beat? I'll help you."

Arthur laughed happily: "Don't worry, when we encounter bad guys we can't beat, we'll definitely call you for help."

Bruce's anger dissipated when he faced the innocent and naive young Goku.

He reached out and took Little Goku from Arthur's hands: "Little Goku, you have to help me persuade Arthur not to commit crimes."

“Arthur would never commit a crime, I believe him!”

Little Wukong patted his chest and said, "Arthur is such a kind person, he only thinks about bringing happiness to everyone."

Bruce was completely speechless.

How to answer this?
Just then, Tony chuckled from the side: "Little Bat, are you feeling helpless? I think Goku is absolutely right."

Bruce glared at Tony: "You guys will corrupt little Goku sooner or later."

"Don't worry, no one can corrupt little Goku."

A voice broke the argument, and everyone turned to look. They saw Wen Ming, dressed in a black suit, supporting Sicilian Flower, who was wearing a black dress, a black top hat, and a black veil.

Malena's eyes were red and swollen, clearly from crying all night. When she saw everyone attending the funeral, she bowed apologetically to them and said, "Thank you all for coming. I'm so sorry that my late husband's affairs have taken up your precious time."

Helen, Sarah, and the other women quickly surrounded her, offering quiet comfort to the widow who had just lost her husband.

John, Marcus, Max, and the others walked up to Wen Ming and whispered, "Her husband's body was blown beyond recognition and burned to a crisp. We spent a lot of effort to barely piece together half of his body. The mortician worked all night, but there was no way to make him presentable."

"During the farewell ceremony later, please pay attention to her emotions."

Wen Ming nodded: "Thank you for your hard work."

Just then, Charon walked up to Wen Ming with Loki in a black suit: "Boss, Loki is here."

"Thank you for coming."

Wen Ming reached out and shook hands with Loki: "I'm sorry I can't talk to you much today."

"It's okay, I know today is a special day."

Loki looked at Wen Ming in front of him and felt that the other party was unremarkable, and he could not sense any fluctuation of divine power or magic.

But he could tell that everyone in the room was focused on this man.

Many people even looked at him with fervent worship.

This made Loki even more curious about Wen Ming.

What is so special about him?

……

At 8:30, a convoy of cars drove out of the Iron Hotel and headed to a cemetery in the Metropolitan Area.

This cemetery is the same one called Mir Cemetery where Wen Ming was attacked last time.

As the group entered the Cathedral of Milne, Loki was surprised to find that the priest presiding over the funeral was not the cathedral's priest, but the little girl he had met the night before.

"Thank you all for attending Mr. Nino's funeral..."

Index was not as nervous as Loki had imagined. Instead, she skillfully led everyone in a moment of silence for Nino and conducted a farewell ceremony for his remains.

Misaka Mikoto, dressed in a black dress, stood beside Index, watching Index's effortless demeanor with envy in her eyes.

When will I be able to be that good?

In the first row of seats sat four Transformers: Yuanlong, Yuanying, Yuanbao, and Miluan. Yuanshe was not there; he was at home guarding the house.

With the shrinking watch, they can now pretend to be a miniature Transformer model.

Fortunately, there were no outsiders at today's funeral. Otherwise, if people saw several Transformers models squatting inside the church, they would definitely complain about how indecent these relatives and friends were.

Malena sat beside Wenming, holding his large hand tightly, and the young wife burst into tears again.

Seeing this, Wen Ming gave Index a wink.

Index quickly completed the ritual and then began to sing the hymn "Pie Jesu".

The heavenly sound echoed within the Cathedral of Milne, offering solace and blessings to Nino.

Golden sunlight pierced through the arched windows of the Milne Cathedral, spilling into the church and, together with the holy light emanating from the Index Hymn, bringing solace to the souls of everyone present.

Everyone's expression began to become peaceful.

Malena's crying gradually subsided.

Loki stared in amazement at the holy light before him. This powerful magical force involuntarily reminded him of his mother, Frigga, the Queen of Asgard.

Although her magical power is far less than that of her mother, how old is this little girl?

This young girl, this hotel...

Loki fell into deep thought.

Just as the hymn was halfway through and gradually coming to an end, an unpleasant voice suddenly broke the solemn atmosphere.

"Wow, Wen Ming, are you giving yourself a preview of your own funeral?"
