Out of personal ill taste, Lu Xiao deliberately called Master Hamill to the living room, where he lowered his head and read in a fairy-like manner.
Lu Xiao and Yong Zhen were kneeling down at a low table to sip tea without any pretense. The two of them were still using Focus to play online battle games.
Wanda's brows twitched when she saw this scene, and a smile quietly flashed in her eyes, but she said nothing and just watched Strange walk into the hall expectantly.
Sure enough, after Strange entered the hall, he was immediately attracted by the ethereal temperament of Master Hamill, and subconsciously believed that he was the Kamal Taj talker he was looking for.
"Hello, Master Supreme, I am Stephen Strange, I would like to..."
Hamill raised his head from the book and looked at Strange carefully. His dazzling eyes made Strange's second half of the sentence stuck in his throat.
'What a strong sense of oppression!'
When Wanda saw Strange's frightened expression, she finally couldn't hold back a little laughter, but she quickly suppressed it with a cough.
"Pfft~cough!"
When Strange looked back, Wanda pretended to be calm and saluted Hamill: "Master Hamill, thank you for your hard work."
Hamil nodded silently, and he was satisfied to see with his own eyes the genius that Gu Yi mentioned many times.
Putting the book into the sleeves of his broad robe, Hamill left leisurely under Strange's surprised gaze.
"Uh~ Is my attitude not respectful enough?"
Wanda suppressed her smile and pointed at Lu Xiao, who was playing a game at the side: "You have mistaken the wrong person. This is the Supreme Mage, Lu Xiao."
Seeing Lu Xiao's face, which was younger than his own, Strange questioned in disbelief: "...are you kidding me?"
"Ahem~Supreme Mage."
Wanda walked next to Lu Xiao and Yongzhen, and saw their fingers connecting in the air at the speed of waving afterimages, and her brows twitched unconsciously.
"Supreme Mage!"
"Um?"
Lu Xiao's hand was beaten, and the winner of the mini-game was already decided.
A faint smile appeared on Yongzhen's lips: "I won, you owe me a request."
"Hey~"
Lu Xiao cried and laughed and scratched his head: "Okay, I keep my word."
Strange looked at Lu Xiao and Yong Zhen in confusion, his mind a little confused.
"Are you the Sorcerer Supreme?"
Lu Xiao maintained the ancient Chinese etiquette of kneeling down and turned to face Strange.
"That's right, my name is Lu Xiao. Why, it doesn't look like it?"
"Huh~"
Strange slapped his forehead in frustration: "There is an old saying in China, those who achieve first come first."
"I also climbed to the top by stepping on the shoulders of countless old doctors. At your age...I can understand it."
Lu Xiao laughed and shook his head: "Did you misunderstand something? I never said that my actual age matches my appearance."
Strange, who was convincing himself, suddenly paused: "Are you already hundreds of years old?"
"That's not the case."
Lu Xiao raised his hand and motioned for Strange to sit down: "Take your seat first, I know you have many questions in your mind."
Strange, who is tall, is very uncomfortable with the kneeling etiquette and always has a bad posture after sitting down.
Lu Xiao said nonchalantly: "Don't be too formal, just use the posture you are used to. I don't care much about this aspect."
"Let's get down to business."
Putting down the steaming Mengding tea in her hand, Lu Xiao asked calmly: "Stephen Strange, the world's top neurosurgery expert, why did you come to Kama Taj?"
Strange stretched out his hands without hesitation: "Modern medical technology cannot heal my hands. I can only seek help from the mysterious world. Can you heal my injury?"
"cannot."
Lu Xiao answered decisively: "As you said, the nerve in your hand is hopeless and cannot be 'repaired' in any way."
"ha……"
Strange's tense shoulders slumped: "So, my trip was in vain?"
"I spent all my money flying all the way from New York, and in the end I only got a flat negative answer?"
Wanda frowned displeased: "Strange, calm down, don't be disrespectful to the Supreme Mage..."
"How do you ask me to calm down!"
Hope was followed by despair again. Strange broke down and yelled: "In the final analysis, you are just pretending to be gods. All magic and holy places are just deceptive tricks!"
Lu Xiao didn't pay attention to Strange's accusation. He still smiled and asked, "Do you really think so?"
"Of course! The Supreme Mage who claims to be older than he looks."
Strange poked Lu Xiao's chest with a trembling finger: "You guys can't deceive me with your godly things. The so-called religions and holy places are just the egos of ignorant people..."
Before Strange could finish what he said, Lu Xiao suddenly poked his forehead with his finger.
Strange's soul was ejected from his body under the control of Lu Xiao's third method, and he could even watch his body fall softly to the ground.
"Shen Shen Dao?"
Lu Xiao smiled half-heartedly and asked Strange's soul: "Is it amazing? How does it feel like the soul is out of the body?"
"soul?"
Strange looked at his body up and down and said to himself in disbelief: "No, this is just a trick. There is no soul at all. Humans will completely lose consciousness as long as they die!"
"Stubborn."
After inserting Strange's soul back into his body, Lu Xiao mentioned that Strange, who had not yet recovered, activated the teleportation technique and appeared directly in the hospital where Strange once worked.
The busy doctors and nurses turned a blind eye to the two people who appeared next to them. The confused Strange even saw his ex-girlfriend Christine who was busy comforting the patient.
Lu Xiao asked meaningfully: "Is this also an illusion?"
Before Strange could say hello to Christine, Lu Xiao dragged him back to Kama Taj again.
After being teleported twice in succession, Strange's brain was a little dizzy. After returning to the original place, he took a few seconds to recover.
No matter how much he tried to hypnotize himself, Strange could not explain the magical phenomenon just now.
He excitedly stretched out his hands and begged Lu Xiao: "Since you said my hands cannot be repaired, you must have other ways to make them normal again."
"Teach me!"
A bright smile appeared on Lu Xiao's face: "No."
…
"Crunch!"
Strange was sent back to the reception center in Kathmandu by Wanda. Just when he was about to apologize for his impoliteness and suspicion, the door of the hut had been closed from the inside.
"No, no no!"
"Open the door!"
Strange banged the door with his hand: "I am sitting in a well watching the sky, please forgive me for being rude! I am willing to give everything I have, just to heal my hands!"
When Wanda returned to Karma Taj, Lu Xiao and Yong Zhen, who refused to admit defeat, played the holographic battle mini-game again.
"You just shut him out like this? What's the point of the previous series of preparations?"
Wanda walked to Lu Xiao and sat down quietly, deliberately reaching out to cause trouble between the virtual chessboards that she couldn't see.
"Hey~"
The game was interrupted, and Lu Xiao sighed helplessly: "I didn't intend to refuse completely like this. This is just his first test."
"Stephen Strange is too arrogant and thinks he knows all the truth in the world. He must first polish his temper and let him learn to look at the truth of all things in the world with humility."
"Anyway, let him go for now and check on his condition in a few days."
