Chapter 303 Chapter 300 Doctor Strange
Stark Group Building, Potts Office.
Strange, who had neither taken care of his hair nor shaved since the car accident, carefully sat on the sofa like a homeless man, raised his trembling hands, and looked at Potts earnestly: "Please, tell me Where is I Stark?"
Looking at the extremely miserable Strange, although Potts was quite sympathetic, she only smiled bitterly because she really didn't know where Stark was.
She only knew that Li Feng would open the portal in the middle of the night every day, and then take away a table of food and drinks she had prepared early in the morning.
"Sorry, Mr. Strange, I'm afraid I can't help you. I only know that Tony was taken away half voluntarily and half coerced by someone. The person claimed that Tony would not be released for at least half a year or a year."
Strange obviously didn't believe what Potts said. After all, if Stark was really missing, how could Potts, his girlfriend, not call the police and instead go to get off work on time every day?
You can't say that Potts is too big-hearted, right?
Especially when a public figure like Stark is being coerced, there is no news report at all, not even tidbits. This is obviously contrary to common sense. You must know that reporters have a much more sensitive sense of smell than the Intelligence Agency.
Could it be that Potts has long been planning how to occupy Stark's money to satisfy his desire to buy bags or oversized rabbits?
Saying that Stark is hiding in a laboratory doing experiments is more convincing than telling me that Iron Man is being coerced.
Strange, who thought Stark didn't see him because his hands were disabled, was silent for a while and asked bitterly: "Can I use that healing device?"
Potts was silent for a while, then stood up and said, "I'll take you to see it."
After a while, Potts led Strange into the place where the treatment equipment was stored.
Strange looked at the treatment device in the room that had been dismembered into parts through the floor-to-ceiling glass. He shook his head and denied the facts in front of him: "No~ no, no, this is not true. Stark cannot destroy the treatment device. After a pause, Strange looked at Potts with hopeful eyes and asked, "Is it because Stark designed a more advanced treatment device that he dismantled this outdated machine?"
Potts sighed. She couldn't meet Strange's pleading eyes. She turned around and said, "I'm sorry, I don't know the specific reason. This is the order Stark gave me before he left. Please forgive me, Strange." Mr. Qi, do you think this treatment device can really heal your hand?”
Strange sat slumped on the ground against the glass and said in frustration: "I know it can't completely repair my injury, but at least after the treatment, my hand can hold a pen and write, now."
Strange regretted why he specialized in medicine and science. If he had taken a certificate in electronics or mechanical engineering, at least when faced with a pile of parts, he could still find a way to assemble the parts back into the treatment device.
Now, forget it, he is just a doctor and does not have the skill to assemble a therapeutic device on his skill board.
In desperation, Strange forced a smile, stood up and walked towards the door, saying, "If Stark comes back early, please tell me. I have something urgent to do with him."
Potts nodded slightly and apologized: "Sorry, I can't help you. If Tony comes back, I will notify him immediately, but I'm afraid that his trip will really last half a year."
If Stark doesn't come back until half a year later, I'll be really disappointed. After all, I always spend as much money as I have. This time, in order to treat my hand, I have overdrawn all my property.
half year later? Haha, am I digging through the trash can, or lying in some cemetery to rest?
Strange lowered his head lifelessly, said 'thank you' and quickly left Stark Tower.
After walking out of the building, Strange, who had tasted all the warmth and cold in the world in a short period of time, walked aimlessly to the street. At this time, the cell phone in his pocket suddenly rang.
Strange did not look at the caller ID. He pressed the answer button with a hand that looked like he had Parkinson's syndrome. His eyes were dim and he said in a stiff tone: "I'm Stephen Strange."
Before Strange could finish speaking, the voice of the staff at the rehabilitation center came through the phone.
"Mr. Strange, do you remember Jonathan Pangborn I told you about before?"
Necks 7 to 8 were completely damaged, and he should have been paralyzed but walked on his own. Strange recalled in his mind that the staff at the rehabilitation center had introduced Jonathan Pangborn's condition, and that he had reviewed the other person's medical records.
Strange guessed something, his eyes gradually returned to brightness, and he said in a hurry: "Where is he?"
After Strange noted down the specific location of Jonathan Pangborn, he couldn't wait to stop a taxi and rush to a certain basketball court.
Outside the basketball court, Strange looked like a psychopath as he watched Jonathan Pangborn play basketball with his legs outstretched, his expression alternately silly and excited.
A paralyzed man who is supposed to be confined to bed for the rest of his life is playing basketball with his own two feet? My hand is saved!
The more he thought about it, the more excited Strange felt that it was worth it. He called Jonathan Pangborn through the fence and asked him how he returned to normal.
Jonathan Pangborn wanted to ridicule Strange at first, but later, seeing that Strange was strange and pitiful, he reported Kamathaj's address to Strange.
Knowing that Kathmandu has the last hope of healing him, Strange can't wait to sell everything he can just to buy one piece of hope.
After some twists and turns, Strange finally set foot on the land of Kathmandu.
It's just that Jonathan Pangborn only told him that Kama Taj was in Kathmandu, which street it was on, and what house number it was, but he didn't tell Strange at all.
This made Strange very distressed. He had no choice but to use the most primitive way of asking for directions, that is, asking everyone "Kamar-Taj".
Similarly, it was also because of asking everyone "Kamar-Taj" that many people thought that Strange was either sick or a lost outsider.
After some gangsters knew about Strange's situation, they subconsciously regarded him as a walking fat piece of meat.
When Strange, who was unfamiliar with the place, broke into an empty alley, the gangsters thought it was a godsend opportunity. If they didn't rob this outsider who looked like a tramp, they would be too sorry for their conscience.
Fortunately, when the gangsters were about to rob Strange, Mordo, who had been paying attention to Strange, drove the gangsters away in time, and brought Strange into Kamar-Taj after a brief exchange of words with Strange.
Originally, Ancient One wanted to test Strange. After all, this was the future Supreme Sorcerer. If he had bad intentions, it would only bring disaster to Kamar-Taj.
But now
She was already confused by Li Feng's hammering and hitting. She skipped the test step directly, let Strange experience the spirit leaving the body, and smashed her three views, and then simply left Strange.
In this way, the future Doctor Strange officially began to practice magic.
Not to mention, this guy's talent is many times stronger than Li Feng. He learned to open the portal and play tricks in a short time. He even wanted to repair his hands. He was not satisfied with the slow teaching progress of Gu Yi, and secretly used the portal to steal books from the library to study by himself.
As the saying goes, people do, and God sees. Strange's plan to teach himself was soon known by Gu Yi, who was so angry that he really wanted to hang Strange up and beat him for three days and three nights.
However, this was the disciple she chose. Gu Yi could only hope that this guy could be saved, and chose to give a verbal warning and record a serious punishment.
But people are curious, especially Strange, a top student who has just entered the magic world. He only feels that everything around him is very novel, and his heart is full of pursuit of the unknown.
For example, the "Book of Cagliostro" about time mentioned by the librarian Wang is a book about studying time. It looks very advanced no matter how you look at it.
Maybe by studying time, you can restore your hands to their original state? Then you can return to the peak of your life. Just thinking about it makes you feel comfortable.
In this way, with the idea of healing his hands and satisfying his inner curiosity, Strange opened the "Book of Cagliostro" without authorization, and picked up the Eye of Agamotto by chance, and used spells according to the steps in the book.
At this time, Mordo and Wang, who noticed the abnormality of time, realized that someone had moved the Eye of Agamotto in the library. Lima appeared in front of Strange and stopped the other party's suicidal behavior.
Then Mordo and Wang explained the significance of the existence of Kamar-Taj and the Temple.
"The Temple protects the world from harassment and invasion by creatures from other dimensions, and the wizard protects the normal operation of the Temple."
As Mordo explained, Strange was a little confused.
He admitted that Kamar-Taj's cause was great and the wizards were awesome, but why did Mordo sound like he had accidentally participated in some major event?
I just came to Kamar-Taj to find a doctor to treat my hands, and I really didn't want to participate in any war in the magic world.
And as a person on the path of healing and saving people, killing people obviously does not meet my inner needs.
Just as Strange apologized and said that he should not have used the Eye of Agamuda without authorization, and whether he could withdraw, a rapid bell echoed over Kamar-Taj.
Someone invaded the temple? Mordo and Wang looked at each other, both of them were full of astonishment: Which idiot dared to invade the temple? Tired of living?
Wang subconsciously glanced at the defense system, and just as he finished saying "London~", the portal to London in front of him suddenly opened.
Through the portal, Wang and Mordo saw Casillas holding up an energy ball and instantly destroying the London Temple.
The shock wave generated by the energy ball also blew Strange away through the portal and blew him into the temple in New York.
Strange was a little confused. He was studying the method of healing his hands in Kathmandu, but how come he was back to New York in the blink of an eye?
I haven't healed my hands yet
Wondering, Strange looked for people in the temple, hoping that someone could help him return to Kamar-Taj.
After a while, Strange found that at the end of a certain passage, three glass windows showed different scenery.
If this was Stark's house, Strange would know without guessing that it was a technology like holographic projection, but in the magic nest, this was obviously not a technological means.
Out of curiosity, Strange pushed open a window showing the seaside scenery, and when he smelled the salty sea water on his nose and felt the sea breeze on his face, he understood that this was the use of the portal.
Surprised, Strange turned the switch on the side and adjusted the scenery of the glass window to the desert.
In the desert, Li Feng looked at the place where the space fluctuation suddenly appeared.
