Chapter 1086: Father and Son (15)_3

"It seems like we have no other choice but to launch a dragnet search." Loki looked at Mobius, "How many agents do you have available who are completely trustworthy?"

"Not many," Mobius shook his head gravely, "The only ones we can really trust are those who helped release Female Loki. They're completely trustworthy. As for the rest, it's hard to say."

"It appears we can't rely solely on your resources. We need to find some help." Loki let out a slight smirk, showing hesitation. Seeing this, Mobius asked, "Do you have a suggestion?"

"I do have one, but as you know, finding helpers in the multiverse isn't simple. How many people in the entire multiverse have the ability to travel freely? Those people are the talents of the cosmos, so the price to get them to help us is…"

Mobius is an old hand among the civil officers. He immediately contorted his face and said, "The assets of the Time Management Bureau belong to the director. He isn't back yet, and we have no right to handle his assets. We, as honest and dedicated civil officers, have no money."

"Of course, of course, I understand." Loki put his arm around Mobius's shoulder and led him forward, raising a finger, and said,

"Rest assured that I will handle things, and I can arrange the right people. You don't have to worry about the costs. However, when we operate within the cosmos, we all sometimes run into problems related to time…"

"Ahem, the Time Management Bureau has always been fair and unbiased, adhering to a standard and precise principle. There could never be any oversight or corruption during trials…"

"Of course! Such a responsible organization that has been operating for so many years must be impeccable in every aspect, right?"

"You flatter us, but in reality, we…" Mobius pretends to be thoughtful and says, "As you know, we civil servants are bound by confidentiality. How could we possibly tell outsiders about the flaws in the system?"

"Just like I would never tell you that we can only use the Staff of Twilight of the Gods three times a day, or that the light beam of the staff's twilight can be reflected by any mirror-like object that could produce a strong reflection…"

"Of course, I would also never tell you about certain charges that constantly dwell between verbal warnings and innocence, such as improper time travel and illegal non-temporal profit."

"Similarly, I can't tell you about some charges which are hard to define, like disrupting the timeline and unethical illegal time travel…"

"Correct, the charges I mentioned before are at the end of the second row on shelf 12… Yes, those are the ones at the very back. The other charges are in the first half of shelf 11… Yes, yes, yes, those are the books that you are holding!"

"Ahem, as the most dedicated civil servant, I also have to complain a little about some guards who aren't fully committed to their jobs."

"For example, the B9 and B11 brothers under the leadership of B15's team, for some unknown reason, are very interested in some magical musical instruments."

"Of course, there is a lady in unit U8 who likes handsome men and is never willing to harm them. The search dogs deployed in team X6 actually can't smell anything…"

Loki and Helen were flipping through various books on the shelves while Mobius was sitting behind the desk, smoking and talking.

About half an hour later, Loki thoroughly understood the level of competence of this dutiful and honest civil servant.

At the same time, she, the book-loving Loki and Helen, had a soul-to-soul chat with Zhang San about behavioral and ethics studies, just not about law.

Loki also utilised her God of Mischief talents and engaged in a heaven-human induction with some recorded weaknesses of certain civilizations obtained from various time criminals. After fully understanding these, she re-empowered the field of resource transfer technology.

Seeing that the time was almost right, Mobius walked up to Loki and said, "Alright, enough fooling around. Where is the help you mentioned? To my knowledge, there are only a handful of individuals who can break through their own cosmos, let alone travel freely among these numerous universes…"

After saying this, he shook his head again, as if he had given up hope. "Even if such people do exist, just one person wouldn't help much. It wouldn't be much of a difference whether we have him or not."

"Who said I plan to find just one person?"

"Then what are you planning…"

"You have a device that can communicate across universes, right?"

"Yes, whom do you plan on calling?"

Loki flashed a smile, waving her hand at him and said, "Just lead me to it. Oh, you should prepare for a fee, their group is large."

Mobius led Loki forward with a doubtful look back at her. But she just maintained her mysterious smile and didn't say a word.

The pair arrived in a room with a special device. Mobius pressed a button and then told Loki, "Just think about it in your head. This machine will help you connect to that specific person in a specific universe."

Loki walked up to the machine, leaned in towards the speaker, and said,

"Hey Peter, are you interested in making some extra bucks with your spider buddies?"
