" You have to be joking with me."
Loki looked at the colorful gems in his hands, not knowing what to say, and so did Arthur, because these gems or stones caused huge problems to him.
" Ah, they are good paper weights. I use it all the time. Look, the blue one looks good, right?"
Casey placed the tessrract on the corner of the papers whilst playing with the time stone in his hand. The green glittering stone almost made Arthur lose his mind since it was causing havoc in his universe, even though it was shattered into pieces, yet someone was playing with it in his hand.
" Here are the files that you requested."
Loki took the files with a defeated face, going through the incidents as Arthur analyzed the patterns along with him. Meanwhile, Mobius was chatting with Casey about his new jetskis that were given by Arthur. He was so excited to take it to the ocean and play with it.
" Do you see this? The criminal is going to the destroyed universes, but he isn't the cause of their destruction."
Loki handed the graph to Arthur while skimming the summaries. He found that every universe that he visited was on the brink of collapse if something was wrong there.
" Which meant our culprit isn't hopping around and destroying things. He is traveling between collapsing universes for some reason. Maybe if we can locate the next nexus event, we might catch him."
Arthur rubbed his chin, gesturing for Mobius to look at it. Mobius, who was listening to their conversation, took the files and pulled his necktie to loosen it up. Then he raised his eyebrows, sipping coffee that he got from his subordinates.
" You are right. We can find him if we find the next nexus event, and I know a person who can do that."
Mobius signaled them to follow him as he headed toward the elevator area. He then pressed the lowest floor, listening to soothing music that was playing in the elevator.
" Hmm, Beethoven. Classic."
Arthur nodded with approval, humming to the music as they calmly stood in the elevator with different thoughts.
" You have reached the lowest floor!"
The elevator door was opened calmly, revealing the corridor which was filled with pipes. The steam hit their faces, annoying Loki, who fixed his hair in the elevator to look good.
" So, he is that way. Sorry for the pipes, we have to connect the pipes here to manage the water system. Who knew we still had pipes?!"
Mobius shrugged his shoulders to lighten up the mood, opening the door which was right next to him. Inside the room, there were many pipes and technical gadgets that were placed on the wall.
" Hello, Mobius. I haven't seen you for a while. Look at this. You have friends. My name is Ouroboros, I am a technician at TVA, and I wrote the guideline."
Arthur shook his hand, looking at the thick guideline which was gathering dust on the corner of the table. He could swear that nobody used that thing or read it fully. Besides, he could tell that this man was a genius, but he was kind of an introvert.
" My name is Loki, and this is Arthur. I heard you had a device that could locate a collapsing universe."
Ouroboros nodded with a delighted face, pulling out a watch like device from his pocket.
" This is a watch that measures the energy output of the universe that is brink of collapse. It also shows the remaining lifespan of it."
Arthur took the watch from his palm, placing it on his wrist. The nano device on his wrist instantly displayed the internal gears of the watch, copying every technology inside it without any problem.
" How fascinating! Is that a nano device? I never thought you would be similar to me."
Ouroboros said with excitement, touching the nano device on Arthur's wrist. His eyes glistened brightly, seeing icons that indicated what it could do.
" I can give you a simple version of this device. Look, it can turn into any accessories and project your favorite movie."
Arthur handed the watch to Ouroboros, who looked like a child with a new toy. He couldn't wait for the new hobby, which he would definitely do after they leave this area.
