A voice that was much hoarse than usual echoed in the empty and dark room.
Helen just stared at Strange quietly. Strange raised his head and repeated his question, but Helen insisted: "You have to answer my question first, Mr. Supreme Mage, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, I couldn't be better." Strange stood up with his support on the ground, a little stiffly, looked down at Helen and asked: "Why are you here?"
Helen raised the suitcase in her hand and said: "We have developed a machine that responds to summons, and you happened to be summoning the evil god. We responded to your summons, and naturally we came here."
Helen raised her head and stared at Stellan and asked: "Then why did you summon the evil god?"
"You seem to know me very well." Strange said, narrowing his eyes.
"You are our professor and dean." Harley stepped forward, rubbing her stomach that was still churning, and said: "In another universe, you are not only the Supreme Mage, but also the dean of Kama Taj Magic Academy.
And professors from Gotham Academy of Magic, we have all taken your classes."
"Another universe? Is it what you call a parallel universe?"
Helen nodded and said, "Yes, we came from another parallel universe and are tracking a guy who did bad things."
Before Helen could finish speaking, Strange took a step forward. He knelt down halfway, put his hands on Helen's shoulders, stared at her with stern eyes and asked: "What about Christine in the universe? She is still alive.
?"
"Who is Christine?" Helen looked at him blankly and asked.
"You don't know Christine? Have you never seen her?" Strange squeezed Helen's shoulder slightly harder. He instinctively noticed that this little girl's body was as hard as a rock, but he had no time.
Regardless of this, he just wanted to know the whereabouts of Christine.
Helen, Harley, and Barry looked at each other and shook their heads in unison. Helen looked at Strange's expression and said, "Is she important to you? She is your wife."
?”
"She is my girlfriend." Strange retracted his hand in despair, stood up and turned around and said: "This is an independent dimension. There is no murderer you are looking for. Leave here."
Helen looked at Strange carefully again and speculated: "I would like to ask, how old were you when you were still the chief surgeon at New York-Presbyterian Hospital?"
Strange walked to the futon beside him and knelt down, closed his eyes and began to meditate without replying.
But Helen did not give up. She continued: "The Stephen Strange of our universe became the Supreme Mage when he was the chief surgeon at New York-Presbyterian Hospital."
Strange's eyes suddenly opened. He stared at Helen closely and said, "What did you say? I became the Supreme Mage when I was still working at the Presbyterian Hospital? I was only in my early thirties at that time."
"Yes, quite young." Helen nodded and said, "But he is already a world-famous surgeon."
"It's too far." Strange's face became serious, and he said: "I had just become famous at that time, and I hadn't met Kristen yet."
"Then I'm afraid you won't have the chance to meet him. I'm talking about Dr. Strange in our universe. Then you became the spokesman for the immortality factor. Then you became a disciple of the Ancient One and established the Holy of Holies. From then on, you
You haven't had a moment to spare, and I've never heard of you falling in love or anything."
Strange fell silent again, seeming to recall a certain period of time, but soon he spoke again: "That's fine, the two of us won't have any intersection, Christine won't die, and she can be here
As long as she continues on the road of medicine, she will be the best surgeon in the world."
"What about you?" Helen took two steps forward, put the box on the ground, looked at Strange's pale face and said, "What on earth is going on? Doctor Strange, look.
He felt very bad, like he was about to die."
"But I'm not dead." Strange's expression was as stiff as a zombie. He shook his head slightly, looked blankly and said, "It's not me who died, but Christine."
With a "swish", the three children came together. Harry rolled his eyes and glanced at Strange and said: "It's very typical of post-traumatic stress disorder, stupor. This shows that he has experienced repeated stimulation before.
, is in a long-lasting and slow onset period.”
"Is there any medicine?"
"No chance, he won't eat it." Harley crossed her arms and said, "I heard that the Supreme Mage can go back in time. If his girlfriend really died, he would definitely try to go back in time repeatedly to avert the tragedy."
"But as he is now, he must have failed to redeem himself, but as Professor Schiller said, this group of people has always been accustomed to underestimate the power of psychological trauma. Going back in time to witness the death of a loved one again and again will cause extreme consequences.
It’s a huge mental stimulation, but now it seems there’s no way to save it.”
"You can be saved even if you are hopeless." Helen glanced back at Strange and said, "Didn't you hear what my father said before that the universe collapsed? I suspect it has something to do with him."
"Although I'm not a superhero, we still have to find clues to the murderer in this universe. If he destroys the universe, won't the clues disappear with him?"
Harry pursed his lips and thought for a moment, then said: "The best way is to save his girlfriend, but if he didn't succeed, it would be hard for us. As for persuasion... we came a little too late, and now the psychological trauma is already there."
formed."
Helen rolled her eyes and said, "This situation is a bit similar to Spider-Man in the zombie universe. Both are stimulated by repeated reincarnations, leaving indelible psychological trauma."
"Then I think we can follow Dr. Schiller's approach and first find a way to perform brain wave treatment to help him get better from his long-term illness, and then find an opportunity to create a grand scene for him to turn the tide."
The three of them nodded at the same time, and Barry said: "We'd better find out why he summoned the evil god first? This is no joke. Maybe the destruction of the universe will be caused by this."
The three of them dispersed in an instant. Harley, the most observant, pretended to be more curious about the surrounding environment and began to observe the room. Barry turned to look at the magic circle painted on the ground, while Helen moved closer to Strange.
He was standing next to me, planning to ask for information on the sidelines.
Helen followed Strange's example and knelt down on the floor next to the futon. Strange glanced at Helen's extremely standard sitting posture.
He looked away, looked straight ahead and asked, "Did you go to school at Kamal Taj?"
Helen nodded vigorously, looked at him with wide eyes and said, "Yes, I am a good student."
"Are you the next Sorcerer Supreme?"
"No, you can't have thousands of students who are the next Supreme Mage, right? I went there because my mother is a professor there."
"Who is your mother?"
"Luoji, I am also a father sometimes."
Strange was silent for a long time, as if digesting the news, but Helen dropped another bomb.
"Yes, my dad is Iron Man."
Strange finally couldn't bear it any longer. He turned to look at Helen and asked, "How did he do it?"
"Don't ask, I can't explain clearly."
The two fell silent again, Strange closed his eyes and meditated, and Helen also pretended to close her eyes. After a while, she turned her head and stared at Strange with bright eyes.
The presence of those shining eyes was so strong, as if they were real, that Strange had to open his eyes and turn his head to look at Helen, trying to get her to stop staring at him.
But Helen asked the moment he opened his eyes: "Did you summon the evil god to eat them?"
Strange's fists clenched, but Helen picked her fingers and said, "Actually, I discovered the moment I landed that you were aiming at the magic circle with some kind of absorbing magic. At that moment, you wanted to take action.
Yes, but you gave up."
Strange closed his eyes again, but Helen still tilted her head and stared at him and said: "Actually, you know that I am not a human being, and you also feel the huge power in me, which is what you need."
Strange's hand on his leg tightened, he opened his eyes and said in a low voice: "What do you want to say?"
"Aren't you afraid that we are an illusion created by the evil god? Why don't you convince yourself and then do it?"
Strange's silence became longer and longer, but his clenched fists never loosened. Helen withdrew her gaze, looked at the floor in front of her and said, "You're not that bad, and you can't lie to yourself. What do you actually know?"
It’s right and wrong, but I can’t stop at all.”
"I must save her." Strange's tone became trembling, and he said: "The Ancient One told me that she was the only one who would become the Supreme Mage. She died because of me."
"So you want to summon the evil gods, devour their power, and then resurrect her?" Helen shook her head, expressing disapproval.
Strange's eyes suddenly turned cold. He stood up, his hands lit up with the light of magic, looked at the three children and said, "Now, get out of here, I don't have time to play around with you."
"Do you know that this will cause the universe to collapse?" Helen stared into his eyes without fear and said, "Not only will Christine not be able to survive, but you will die like everyone else in this world."
"It's impossible, I..."
"We are coming from such a future." Helen said categorically: "The universe was destroyed, and the clues we were looking for were gone, so we traveled through time and went back to the past to see what caused the destruction of the universe.
And then we found you."
"You are lying to me." The light in Strange's hands turned into two golden whips, whizzing towards Helen with a sound of breaking through the air.
Helen didn't move, and the whip stopped ten centimeters from her hair.
"I've said it all, you know what is right and what is wrong, and you know that what you are doing is evil, that's why you are in pain and make yourself so embarrassed."
Strange gritted his teeth and held on to the whip. The next second he stretched one hand forward, and a whip wrapped around Helen and lifted her into the air.
The expected fear and struggle did not come, Helen's arm struggled slightly with a little force, and there were a few "click click click" sounds, and the long whip of magic light shattered in response.
Helen fell to the ground, and Strange looked at his hands in shock. What shocked him was not that Helen broke free, but that the power he used to construct the whip disappeared.
Helen opened her mouth, and the magic whip in Strange's other hand turned into magic energy and was sucked into her mouth.
Helen showed a bright smile towards Strange and said: "You are still far behind in terms of eating demons."
"I don't want to stop you, but I want to tell you the correct way to enjoy the evil god's feast."
