Strange, who was wearing a hospital gown, looked much more haggard than before.
The dark circles around his eyes and the stubble on his chin all revealed his extremely fragile mental state.
At this moment, Rorschach, who was sitting on a metal chair, straightened his back subconsciously.
He first looked at each other with Iron Man David.
Then he asked Strange, who had wandering eyes:
"Strange, why are you unwilling to leave this room? Although we are not a charitable organization with great kindness, we have not restricted your personal freedom, right?"
Hear Rorschach's inquiry.
Strange, with a blank look in his eyes, seemed to have returned to his mind from a fugue.
He subconsciously licked his slightly chapped lips and said in a low tone:
"If I guess correctly, you are the terrorist organization that has been reported in the news reports, right?"
"Of course, this is not important at all. I am personally very grateful for your treatment of me... and this also confirmed to me once again that the news media in this country are a piece of shit!"
"I remember your name is Rorschach, right? My friend, have you ever truly felt a heartfelt fear of the world around you? When all the world concepts you know have completely collapsed, as a human being, as an independent person
How will an individual face an extremely unfamiliar world full of dangers?"
Strange's words made Rorschach couldn't help but 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 scope of philosophy. This is not a topic we need to discuss now... Tell me, what exactly do you want to do? If you still act like a mess, I will kill you directly.
Throw it out of the base, and all the consequences caused by it have nothing to do with me."
Perhaps Rorschach's threatening words had an effect.
Strange, who was silent for a while, suddenly raised his hands towards Rorschach.
And under Rorschach's gaze.
The opponent's flawless palms seemed to be shaking continuously.
"My hand... my hand seems to be disabled, 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, Luo Xia, who originally had an indifferent expression, frowned tightly.
He stared straight at Strange's haggard face and said word by word:
"Maybe you don't understand or know, but the thing that treats your injuries is a panacea in the true sense! In other words, so far, all injuries or various diseases on the human body can be perfectly cured!"
"Strange, are you telling me now that your hands are still disabled even after being treated with the panacea?"
The words were not spoken yet.
Rorschach, whose face suddenly turned cold, turned to Iron Man David and shouted:
"David, drag him out of the base!"
"Rorschach! Wait! I haven't finished speaking yet!"
At this moment, before Iron Man David could step forward to take action.
Strange's eyes suddenly widened and he waved his palms several times.
He said to Rorschach in a hurried tone:
"I know this is just a psychological problem, and during these days, I finally figured out the ultimate source of my heartache!"
"That unexpected car accident made me discover a mysterious world I had never known before! And everything outside is no longer the familiar thing in my mind..."
"I...I need the power to protect myself! I never want to face a horrific disaster without being able to do anything about it!"
"Rorschach! I want to join your organization!"
"I'm an excellent surgeon and I can relearn anything!"
Strange's voice continued to echo inside the room.
And hearing the other party’s words from the bottom of his heart.
The cold expression on Luo Xia's face gradually returned to indifference.
He thought for a moment.
Suddenly he said to Strange:
"Strange, are you sure you are awake now? And you don't regret it?"
"I'm sure! And I will never regret it!"
Strange, with a solemn expression, nodded vigorously.
He sighed and said sadly:
"Every night, I dream about that terrifying monster wrapped in flames... It has almost become my nightmare. Although I don't know how you fight against that kind of monster, this is something I can sleep with peace of mind in the future.
A life-saving straw.”
And after listening to Strange's words.
Rorschach, who was sitting on the metal chair, slowly stood up.
With a smile on his face, he extended a palm to Strange and said as calmly as possible:
"For your sleep, and for my think tank troops..."
"Then, welcome to my team, Strange!"
Strange, with dark circles under his eyes, also stood up with a solemn expression.
He stretched out a palm and held it tightly with Rorschach's.
However, at this moment, Luo Xia, who blinked slightly, suddenly grinned:
"Of course, for the sake of you and me, Strange...are you willing to accept the assignment?"
"Huh? Assignment?"
"This is a training opportunity specially reserved for you by our team... It is an ancient magician force called Kama Taj. As long as you are serious and studious, the other party will definitely teach you!"
At this moment, Strange, who was shaking hands with Rorschach, was completely stunned.
In hindsight, he felt as if he had been deceived.
----------------------------------
Kama Taj shrouded in mist.
Wang, who had a silly smile on his face, and Luo Xia, who had an indifferent expression, had a pleasant conversation.
And right behind the two people.
Strange, who looked numb, had not yet recovered from the shock of the portal.
At this moment, the ancient building hidden deep in the mist suddenly sounded the indifferent voice of Master Gu Yi:
"Wang, please take Luo Xia to pick up some gifts I prepared in advance."
"And that mortal named Strange...you came to me alone."
The next moment, the end of Master Gu Yi's words gradually dissipated into the depths of the mist.
Rorschach, who squinted his eyes, raised his eyebrows slightly.
He waved his hand to Strange with a half-smile.
Just signal the other person to go up the stairs.
Later, Luo Xia was led by Wang.
Walked towards other buildings.
Strange, who knew nothing about the strange things around him, could only take a deep breath of the moist and cold air.
He immediately moved his stiff legs and feet.
Walk towards the top of the long stairs.
I don't know how long it took, but Strange, who was breathing heavily, finally arrived at the ancient building at the end of the stairs.
He straightened his back subconsciously and hesitated for a moment before standing in front of the slightly open wooden door.
Then, Strange pushed open the wooden door in front of him without hesitation, as if he also opened the door to a new world.
"Welcome, Mr. Strange, Kamathaj and I have been waiting for you for a long time."
Master Gu Yi sat cross-legged with a half-smiling expression on his face.
She blinked her deep eyes slightly and said softly.
