Remembrance is actually similar to the Pensieve to some extent, you will see everything that happened in this person's memory from the perspective of a bystander, but you cannot perceive any person's emotions and emotions. Thought.

In Doctor Strange's memory, in that past, James saw that he did not come back alone.

Thor and Loki also came to the Avengers base together, and Loki hugged him.

James could clearly see the bloodless face of the "self" leaning on Loki's shoulder, his left hand was hanging lifelessly, not breathing—yes, he was dead.

Although he already had this conjecture in his heart, James still felt a suffocating shock when he actually saw this scene.Fragility, life is really too fragile, and he died again without knowing it.James still doesn't know what happened to cause him to lose his life again, which is why Albus feels the pain of losing him again.

"he died."

In James' watching eyes, he saw Loki so indifferently and calmly that he even laughed and told the news of his death.

And his heroic friends all stared wide-eyed in disbelief, and then their faces were full of pain, unable to accept this fact.

James saw Peter questioning Loki suddenly with red eyes, he saw Thor lowering his head slightly with a guilty expression, he saw Mr. Stark not wanting to believe and questioned and even hoped that this was just another one of Loki's. It was just a designed scam, he saw Mr. Rogers clenched his fists and had a serious face, wanting to know what happened...

And Loki said to Doctor Strange——

"I want you—turn back time."

So far, everything is still in line with James' conjecture.

The nearly two-hour time difference between the two worlds comes from this, turning back time, reversing the dead end of his life.

"Do not."

But James didn't expect that Dr. Strange rejected Loki.

"Do you really think this is correct? Violating the laws of nature and bringing people back to life, do you think there is someone in this world who can possess such abilities and can do this without paying any price?"

That's right.

James agrees with Doctor Strange that such an ability that violates the laws of nature should not exist in the first place.

Even if it exists, it must require a relative and extremely huge price.

Although James had faced the threat of death, he didn't really die. He was rescued twice when he was on the verge of death, one time was his family, and the other time was Loki. .

But this time, James knew that he was really dead, and even Loki couldn't do anything to protect him.

Therefore, turning back time is the only way to save him.

As a wizard, James is more able to understand Doctor Strange's words.

Just like Voldemort wanted to make himself immortal, he had to split his soul.The price of successfully making a Horcrux is still the premise of murdering a person's life.Moreover, is the eternal life lived by Horcruxes really eternal life in the true sense?

Turn back time and only use it to save one life.

For James, this is an absolute taboo, a forbidden technique that should never be touched.

"I'm sorry, but a person's life and death are already decided."

"sorry."

James could understand every word Dr. Strange said, as well as his persistence.If he was in Doctor Strange's shoes, he'd say no.Many people die every day in this world, and this is only an insignificant part of the world's horoscope.Although the power of Agamotto's Eye is extremely powerful, its essence should not be to arbitrarily reverse a person's fate and determine a person's life or death.

He is nothing more than a little wizard who hides inconspicuously in the crowd.

Far more important and great people died in this world than him, and none of them had the chance to be saved.

In the history written by war, whether it is the past of World War II by Captain America or the New York War triggered by Loki, no one uses the ability to turn back time to avoid the coming of the war and prevent more people from dying in the war.

Turning back time is like the most profound black magic - it exists, but it is also a taboo that should not be used.

What James saw was that everyone was immersed in dead silence, and they accepted Doctor Strange's rejection with difficulty without saying a word.

At this time, James also unknowingly burst into tears, infected with the grief his friends suffered because of his death.

But why, why is he alive now?Why is he... still standing here?

"Have you nothing to say?"

"I thought you would be more persistent, after all, you are all good friends of James, aren't you?"

Loki was still the same, with a look of contempt and sarcasm on his face.

James quietly watched Loki's face, he knew that Loki wanted to save him.Then he saw Loki questioning the heroes present sentence by sentence, piercing their hearts with sharp and cruel words, wantonly using his death to hit them harder, and watching these humans with haughty mocking in his eyes. A look of fragility and pain appeared in front of his eyes.

"You did it, Thor, your plan to use Jaime to influence me has finally succeeded once."

"James means a lot to me, he's just special to me."

James' whole body was shocked, and his pupils tightened when he heard these words, and he looked at Loki in disbelief.

It was the first time he'd heard from Loki, who said he—"very important."This is like a kind of refutation and subversion of James' cognition, because he always believes that he is "different" to Loki, but not "important".

"Odin's preference is yours, the people's faith is yours, and the throne is yours."

"You have everything and I have nothing!"

James saw the red eye sockets of Loki, he saw the anger erupting on Loki's face, he saw the completely broken calm in Loki's crystal green eyes, he saw - Loki couldn't suppress pain of.

"But James is mine."

James' eyes widened, as if everything had come to an abrupt end at this moment.

The hustle and bustle and complex emotions seemed to disappear in an instant.

Only these few words remained, hitting his heart heavily.

James' pupils seemed to be able to clearly reflect Loki's figure. He felt a dull pain deep in his chest, but there was also a more fiery emotion, surging like a blazing fire wave, sweeping him the entire thorax.

"But you killed him."

"You let him die before my eyes."

James suddenly thought of Loki's strange behavior before, and his eyes would glance unnaturally to the ground outside the dungeon.

—what is he looking at?

——Is Loki looking at me...?

"Before he died, let me say a word to you good friends—I'm sorry."

James looked at Loki's face, Loki was still smiling, and his expression was still so cold, using James' death time after time to torture his friends' suffering hearts more sadly and cruelly.

But, Rocky, are you in pain too?

For me?

Caught off guard, James saw "himself" covered in dark blood in Loki's arms after Loki released the illusion.And the chest of "myself" is a fatal blood hole, as if something cruelly penetrated his body.It seemed that his death was so painful and desperate, so tragic, and Loki's hands were also stained with his blood.

James saw the dead "self", and felt a kind of fear in his heart.

That's how he died before Loki's eyes.

"But what is there to be sorry for? I really can't figure it out. There is obviously a way to save him, but don't you good friends all choose to give up?"

"And I am the only one who is saving him."

James stared blankly at Loki.

He saw the paranoia in Loki's eyes, and that extreme angry paranoia turned out to be directed at him.

James never thought that he would be so important to Loki.

"You don't want to use the ability to turn back time to save a person, but what if it's to save the world?"

"Next time, how many allies do you think I can find to conquer—"

"Oh no, is it destroying the Earth?"

This is a threat.

A compromise that threatens Dr. Strange and all other heroes with the destruction of the Earth.

No one doubted Loki's words, including James, they all saw a kind of paranoid madness in Loki's eyes, as if no one could stand in his way.That's Loki, that's the god who will do whatever it takes for his own goals.

If a person can be saved, it doesn't matter if the world is destroyed.

But this saved person is James.

James felt a kind of horrified shock in his heart. He didn't expect that he was standing here in exchange for Loki's threat of destroying the earth.But in this reverse time world, no one knows that.

Loki also pretended that none of this had happened.

"Otherwise, you may never know how important you are to Loki."

It wasn't until this moment that James really understood the meaning hidden in Dr. Strange's words.

"But James is mine."

Loki's words naturally echoed in James' mind.

The emotion in his heart seemed to have been suppressed all the time, and he had been deliberately ignoring it until now, when someone pried open the carefully buried corner, and then it flooded the entire chest uncontrollably, tearing the whole chest away. The small space is crammed full.

Even, the overflowing emotions couldn't help but want to burst out again, which made him feel a little breathless, but also made him feel as if he had been invisibly imprinted with a hot and deep imprint by another person.

Vaguely, James seemed to suddenly remember what he had said to Loki when he was drunk——

"They won't understand why you are so important to me."

"You are my secret."

James vaguely remembered that Loki had turned himself into a kitten on his lap when he was drunk, and stretched out his slender white fingers to gently rub his neck.He dimly opened his sleepy and slightly drunk cat pupils, and what he saw were Loki's rare warm eyes, like emerald green crystal gems with a faint brilliance, elegant and charming.

He pretended that he was so drunk that he didn't know anything, closed his eyes, and fell asleep peacefully under the caress of Loki's palm.

Really, heartbroken.

This is the real secret that James is hiding.
