In a room in the underground base.
Wearing a hospital gown, Strange looked much more haggard than before.
The dark circles around his eyes and the stubble on his chin revealed his extremely fragile mental state.
At this moment, Rorschach, who was sitting on a metal chair, subconsciously straightened his back.
He first exchanged glances with Iron Man David.
Then he asked Strange, whose eyes were wandering,
"Strange, why are you unwilling to leave this room? Although we are not a kind-hearted charity organization, we have not restricted your personal freedom, right?"
Hearing Rorschach's question.
Strange, with a dazed look in his eyes, seemed to have returned to his senses from his trance.
He subconsciously licked his slightly cracked lips and said in a low voice:
"If I'm not mistaken, you are the terrorist organization that has been reported in the news, right?"
"Of course, this is not important at all. I am personally very grateful for your treatment... and this also confirms once again that the news media in this country is a bunch of shit!"
"I remember your name is Rorschach, right? Friend, do you really feel a deep fear about the world around you? When all the worldviews you are familiar with completely collapse, how will you, as a human being, as an independent individual, face a world that is extremely unfamiliar and full of dangers?"
Strange's words made Rorschach narrow his eyes.
He raised a sharp finger and scratched his cheek, took a deep breath and said:
"Strange, what you are talking about belongs to the realm of philosophy. This is not the topic we need to discuss right now... Tell me, what exactly do you want to do? If you continue to act like a loser, I will throw you out of the base directly, and all the consequences will have nothing to do with me."
Perhaps Rorschach's threatening words worked.
After being silent for a while, Strange suddenly raised his hands to Rorschach.
And right under Rorschach's gaze.
The other person's flawless hands seemed to be shaking continuously.
"My hand... My hand seems to be useless, and as a surgeon, this is a very terrible disaster..."
Strange, with dark circles under his eyes, said to Rorschach with a wry smile.
However, Rorschach, who had originally had a calm expression, frowned tightly.
He stared straight at Strange's haggard face and said word by word:
"Perhaps you don't understand or know this, but the substance that is used to treat your injuries is truly a panacea! In other words, all injuries or diseases in the human body that have been treated so far can be perfectly cured!"
"Strange, now you tell me that your hands are still disabled even after being treated with the panacea?"
The words haven't finished yet.
Rorschach's face suddenly turned cold and he turned to Iron Man David and shouted:
"David, drag him out of the base!"
"Rorschach! Wait! I haven't finished talking yet!"
At this moment, before Iron Man David could step forward to take action.
Strange suddenly opened his eyes wide and waved his hands a few times.
He said to Rorschach in a hurried tone:
"I know this is just a psychological problem, and during this period of time, I finally figured out the ultimate source of my mental illness!"
"That unexpected car accident made me discover a mysterious world I had never known before! Everything outside is no longer what I am familiar with..."
"I...I need the power to protect myself! I never want to face a horrific disaster and be powerless again!"
"Rorschach! I want to join your organization!"
"I'm a good surgeon, and I can also relearn anything!"
Strange's voice continued to echo inside the room.
And hearing the other party's words from the heart.
The cold expression on Rorschach's face gradually returned to calm.
He pondered for a moment.
Suddenly he said to Strange:
"Strange, are you sure you are sober now? And you have no regrets?"
"I'm sure! And I won't regret it!"
Strange nodded vigorously with a solemn expression.
He sighed and said,
"Every night, I dream of that horrible monster with flames all over its body... It has almost become my nightmare. Although I don't know how you fight against that monster, it is my life-saving straw that allows me to sleep peacefully in the future."
And after listening to Strange's words.
Rorschach, who was sitting on a metal chair, slowly stood up.
He extended a hand to Strange with a smile on his face, and said as calmly as possible:
"For your sleep, and for my think tank troops..."
"Well, welcome to my team, Strange!"
Strange, with dark circles under his eyes, also stood up with a serious expression.
He stretched out a hand and clasped Rorschach's hand tightly.
However, at this moment, Rorschach blinked his eyes slightly and suddenly grinned:
"Of course, for the sake of our interests, Strange...are you willing to accept the mission?"
"Hmm? An outpost mission?"
"This is a training opportunity that our team has reserved for you... It's an ancient magic faction called Kamar-Taj. As long as you study hard, they will teach you until you learn it!"
At this moment, Strange, who was shaking hands with Rorschach, was stunned where he was.
He realized it belatedly and felt as if he had been fooled.
——The
mist-shrouded Kamar-Taj.
The king with a silly smile on his face had a pleasant conversation with Rorschach with a calm expression.
And just behind the two people.
Strange, with a numb expression, has not yet recovered from the shock of the portal.
At this moment, the calm voice of Master Ancient One suddenly rang out from the ancient building hidden deep in the fog:
"King, take Rorschach to get the gifts I prepared in advance."
"And the mortal named Strange...you came to me alone."
The next moment, the tail of Master Gu Yi's words gradually dissipated into the depths of the fog.
Rorschach narrowed his eyes and raised his eyebrows slightly.
He waved his hand at Strange with a smile.
Just signal the other person to go up the stairs.
Afterwards, Rorschach was led by Wang.
Walked towards other buildings.
Strange, who was unaware of the unfamiliar surroundings, could only take a deep breath of the damp and cold air.
He then began to move his stiff legs.
Walk up the long staircase.
It was unknown how much time had passed, but Strange, breathing rapidly, finally arrived at the ancient building at the end of the stairs.
He subconsciously straightened his back and hesitated for a moment in front of the slightly open wooden door.
Then, Strange pushed open the wooden door in front of him without hesitation, as if he was also opening the door to a new world.
"Welcome, Mr. Strange. Kamar-Taj and I have been waiting for you for a long time."
Master Gu Yi sat cross-legged with a half-smile on his face.
She blinked her deep eyes slightly and spoke softly.
