Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz once said —
There are no two leaves in the world that are exactly the same.
From this sentence, it could be extended to mean that everyone in the world was unique, and there was no possibility of being exactly the same.
But...
Before he saw Sherlock and Strange, he was already in a daze.
The twins and Clarice might believe the truth of this sentence.
However, when he saw Sherlock and Strange, he was shocked.
Especially when they saw the two of them looking at each other face to face...
Wanda: "..."
Pietro: "..."
Clarice: "..."
She simply couldn't convince herself to believe it.
In fact, not to mention the twins and Clarice, even Moriarty and Watson, who walked into "my Chinese restaurant" with Shylock, saw Strange...
Hmm.
They turned their heads to look at Shylock in unison.
"Wow."
Looking at Shylock, then looking at Strange,
Watson, who glanced back and forth between the faces of the two men, couldn't help but exclaim in a small voice,
"So what Mrs. Hudson said is true?"
Shylock and Watson went to New York to find out why Moriarty would rather stay in New York than return to London. Unexpectedly, they met Mrs. Hudson, who came here to rekindle old dreams with her old lover.
After meeting the landlady, Watson heard from her that she met a person who looked exactly like Shylock when she came to New York.
At that time, Watson didn't believe it.
It wasn't strange to say that they looked a little alike. After all, things were similar.
People were similar.
But looking exactly the same?
Watson shook his head. How was this possible? Unless it was printed with a printer.
But! Yes!
Now that Watson saw it with his own eyes, he had to admit that there were indeed two printed with a printer in the world.
Exactly the same face.
Compared to Watson,
Moriarty was much more direct.
He raised his eyebrows and looked at his old enemy and the man who looked exactly like his old enemy.
Then he smiled and said, "This is really rare.
Shylock.
I thought I couldn't find anyone else in the world with a face as long as yours. "
Long-faced detective: "..."
Dr. Horse-Face: "..."
Shylock and Strange, who were looking at each other because of their identical faces, because of Moriarty's words,
They immediately shifted their gazes to him.
The two men who had been dissed glanced at Moriarty with disdainful eyes.
At the same time, they gave him a scornful smirk.
Shut Up.
What right does a shorty with legs shorter than my face have to diss me?
Moriarty: "...???"
Even though Strange and Sherlock didn't open their mouths, Moriarty still understood what they meant from their obvious fake smiles. Moriarty's smile froze for a moment.
Damn it.
Shylock is annoying.
How can someone who looks like Shylock be so annoying?
And Charles and Watson, who also understood Strange and Shylock's mockery of Moriarty's height, quietly sat down instead of standing.
What a joke.
They didn't want to get hurt.
Maybe it was because Moriarty dissed both of them at the same time, but after Shylock and Strange dissed each other with their eyes, the two of them no longer paid attention to each other because of their identical faces.
Seeing this, Watson glanced at Shylock, who was sitting down, and couldn't help but ask him in a low voice, "Shylock, aren't you surprised?"
From the first day Watson met Shylock, he knew that he was different from the average person, but he didn't expect him to be so calm in the face of such a situation.
Hearing Watson's question, Shylock glanced at him, and then said in a calm tone, "If I remember correctly, John, you said before that there is no shortage of people who look alike in the world, right?"
Watson: "..."
He didn't remember wrong.
He did say that.
But...
"They look too much alike, right?"
Watson couldn't help but sneak a glance at Strange, and then he was surprised to find that not only did he and Shylock look exactly the same, but after such a thing happened, the two of them reacted exactly the same —
They were so calm that it made people wonder if the person who looked like them was someone else.
Watson: "..."
Are they sure they are not related by blood?
Charles also wanted to ask Strange this question. Oh, no, it should be said that he had already asked.
Charles looked at Strange with interest and said to him in his mind, [Strange, are you sure you don't want to confirm it?]
Hearing Charles's question, Strange's expression didn't change. He said, [You think too much, Charles. I'm very sure that my parents only have me and my sister as children. There are no other lost or left behind brothers.]
To be honest, when he saw Shylock who looked exactly like him, Strange wasn't surprised at all?
Of course not.
In fact, not only Strange, but even Shylock was surprised. Just in terms of appearance, Strange and Shylock looked more like brothers than Mcauliffe.
Yes.
It wasn't just the face. Strange's figure was also completely superior to Mcauliffe's.
Mcauliffe Potbelly Holmes: "..."
"If you are really curious, John, I suggest you call Mcauliffe now and ask him if the old Mr. Holmes made any mistakes when he was young."
After hearing Watson's words, Shylock didn't mock or say anything. Instead, he chose to give him a sincere suggestion.
Watson: "..."
Are you sure you don't need to put double quotation marks on the word 'sincere'?
Even though Watson was a nice guy, he was often fooled by Shylock. But this time, he was particularly clear-headed. He said, "Don't think I don't know what you're up to, Shylock."
When he heard Watson's words, Shylock turned his head slightly and glanced at him. His blue-green eyes, which had always been alienated and cold, now looked a little cute because of the slightly confused expression on his face.
Shylock didn't seem to understand what Watson was talking about. He asked, "What are you talking about? John. "
"I'm saying —"
Watson wasn't fooled by Shylock. He deliberately dragged out the word and then said word by word, "I won't be fooled by you again."
When he thought about the last time he was tricked by Shylock into talking to Mcauliffe, Watson was furious. At that time, his brain was working at high speed. If it weren't for the fear of suffocating himself, he couldn't help but hold his breath the whole time.
Even so, he was scared witless the whole time. He was afraid that he would say something wrong and give the game away. He would let Mcauliffe know that not only was he and Shylock in New York, but his dear brother was also with the king of a criminal empire. They worked together to trick him again and again.
And the result?!
After he finished this call, Shylock! He actually! Ate his chopsticks early!
Watson: "...!!!???"
Ahhh, he really doesn't take me seriously, a man who went to Afghanistan and came back alive!
Even though he was a nice guy, in the face of Shylock's behavior of stealing food at the beginning of the meal, Watson was angry!
He expressed —
This kind of bad behavior must be stopped!
Therefore, in a fit of anger, Watson no longer ate at the same table with Shylock. Instead, he chose to eat with Mrs. Hudson and her old lover, Old Stan, who were still in New York.
Shylock, who had already seen through Watson's real purpose, was speechless.
He would regret it so much that his intestines turned green.
In fact —
Shylock guessed right.
Originally, he thought that if he ate with Mrs. Hudson and Old Stan, not only would he not steal their food, at least they wouldn't steal his food.
Knot! Fruit!
Can you imagine a cong! Rich! Sweat! Alive! Alive! Back! Come! Of! Men! Of! Being violently suppressed by two old people at the dining table!?
Mrs. Hudson, who was the widow of a drug lord, was speechless.
Old Stan, who beat up criminals without warning, was speechless.
Ever since John sat at the same table with them, they no longer had to worry about being refused all kinds of delicious food because of their high cholesterol. After all, they were all for the! About! Of! Of! Of!
In fact, most of the food that was ordered for him did not enter his stomach. Watson, "…???"
After that, Watson chose to return to the same table as Shylock.
Mrs. Hudson and Old Stan, "…"
Sigh.
Disappointment.
Back to the topic, Watson, who had been tricked by Shylock once, was very alert and would not fall for his trick again. Although many times, after eating Chinese food cooked by Issou, many people would have strange symptoms like they were delirious or even lost their minds, but —
Before eating Chinese food cooked by Issou, their IQ would also be strangely raised to a level that they usually could not reach.
John "gullible but not stupid" Watson, "…???"
When Shylock heard Watson's words, he immediately put away the pretense of confusion. He clicked his tongue and said with some disappointment, "Too bad."
"Don't be like this, Shylock."
When Moriarty saw Watson's eyes widen because of Shylock's words and expression, he chuckled and continued, "John is much smarter than we thought. Do you think the same method can make him fall twice? How is that possible? "
When Zhang Heng heard Moriarty's words, he felt that there was something wrong with what Moriarty said. However, since Moriarty helped him refute Shylock, Zhang Heng felt that he should be grateful.
Unfortunately, as soon as this thought popped up in his mind, Watson heard Moriarty say to Shylock in a tone that sounded like he was giving a bad idea to his friend, "Next time, you have to try another method. I guarantee it will work."
Watson, "…!!!"
How could he forget!
In "my Chinese restaurant"!
Moriarty and Shylock were the real QAQ!
Watson, who once again recognized this fact, wanted to cry. However, when Pietro brought their first dish to the table, the sadness of his friend becoming someone else's friend dissipated in Watson's heart and was replaced by a fierce fighting spirit —
A new round of war!
Another war was about to break out!
On the other hand, the atmosphere between Strange and Charles was much better than that of the London trio (London trio: … Haha). At the very least, when the first dish was brought to the table, Strange still had a leisurely attitude.
That was until Clarice lifted the lid of the pot —
Strange's expression immediately changed as he smelled a fragrance that wasn't as wild as the wild grass that grew in the air.
Yellow Mountain Pigeon Stew was a traditional Anhui cuisine dish, so there was no doubt about its deliciousness. Yellow Mountain Yam and Yellow Mountain Pigeon Stew were stewed in water. The moment the lid was lifted, the fragrance of the two mixed stew was like a magical hand, firmly grabbing all of his attention.
After the pigeon meat was stewed, it was tender and delicious. It was as if it could automatically separate on the tip of the tongue without being chewed. The fragrance and the hint of alcohol that was absorbed by the pigeon meat were instantly released in the mouth.
The yam was even more delicate than the pigeon meat. The yam, which was rich in starch, did not require the use of the teeth at all. It only required the tip of the tongue to push it against the teeth, and it would immediately melt in the mouth.
When the delicious pigeon meat and the slightly sweet yam intertwined in the mouth, the taste was simply wonderful. After drinking a mouthful of the warm clear soup, it was so comfortable that it made one want to sigh.
After putting down the bowl, before Strange recovered from the deliciousness of the Yellow Mountain Pigeon Stew, he was attracted by the rich aroma drifting out of the kitchen.
The fragrance was like a small boat sailing on the sea, swaying with the waves. It directly tickled one's heart.
"What is Issou doing?"
Strange unconsciously asked the question in his heart. His gaze, which was originally glued to the Huangshan pigeon stew, was immediately attracted by the kitchen.
Although Strange knew Issou's mother, Coubé, he had never seen Issou before, let alone tasting his cooking.
To be honest, if it weren't for the incident between Toad and Meatballs that made Magneto take the blame, he wouldn't be so curious about Issou's cooking.
However, even if Strange previously guessed that Issou's cooking might be amazing, he did not expect it to be to this extent.
Strange originally thought that the pot of Huangshan pigeon stew was enough to amaze him, but the reality proved that — —
He had seen too little of the world.
When he heard Strange's question, Charles glanced at him. Logically speaking, he had been to "My Chinese Restaurant" so many times, so he should be more experienced than Strange.
But! Yes!
There were a variety of Chinese dishes. Even if he had tasted the spicy and tender boiled fish, the delicious and rich mandarin duck hot pot, the tender and fragrant Wanzhou grilled fish, the delicious and crispy crystal meat … and so on, it did not mean that he knew what Issou was cooking just by smelling the aroma.
Not to mention, this was the first time he smelled this rich aroma.
Therefore, not only Strange, but even Charles himself was very curious. But at this time, would he admit defeat?
Of course not.
Therefore, Charles opened his mouth and said, "Of course he's cooking something delicious."
Strange, "…"
Is he spouting nonsense?
However, before Strange could complain about Charles's pretense (… …), the culprit, who was so fragrant that his soul was about to be stolen, was brought to the table by Pietro.
"This is braised meat."
In addition to Strange and Charles's table, Shylock's table also ordered this dish. Probably because they were captivated by the aroma just now, when the dish was brought to the table, the people at both tables began to dig in.
The pork belly that was sliced thickly looked red and tempting. It did not have the daunting greasiness. Strange could not wait to pick up a piece. Before he put it into his mouth, he smelled a pleasant aroma. His stomach could not help but sing with joy.
When it entered his mouth, Strange could not wait to take a bite. The fresh pork belly was cooked until it was soft and fragrant. It was as if it could melt between his teeth without too much effort.
Not only was the texture so good that one couldn't find fault with it, but the aroma hidden in the meat was also released as he chewed.
It was also fragrant, but smelling it and eating it were two completely different feelings. When he smelled it, Strange only felt that the aroma aroused his appetite, but when he ate it, the mellow aroma that erupted in his mouth was simply very satisfying.
The fresh and delicious, soft and fragrant texture was simply too wonderful. Strange only felt that the mellow taste was simply irresistible.
When the braised meat entered his mouth, followed by a mouthful of hot white rice, a rich aroma filled his mouth. When he swallowed it down his throat, he only felt that the heat accompanied by the aroma of the meat spread from his chest to his stomach.
… …
If the Yellow Mountain Stewed Pigeon was said to have stunned Strange with the posture of hugging a pipa and covering half of its face, then this unique braised meat was said to have successfully attracted his attention with the flamboyant posture of seizing the fragrance, and then the absolutely delicious taste made him unable to stop himself from eating.
Now, Strange finally understood why when Toad and Meatballs made Magneto the scapegoat, as Magneto's best friend, Charles, not only did not defend him, but instead believed the words of Toad and Meatballs.
Because — —
If it were him, he would also believe the words of Toad and Meatballs, okay?
Now, Strange was amazed by Issou's Chinese food, and that was how much regret he felt in his heart.
Once, Coubé told him that her baby daughter was super good at cooking, but Strange did not believe her — —
Because Coubé only said that, but did not intend to let him try Issou's Chinese food.
Therefore, Strange believed that the reason why Coubé said Issou's food was super good was not because the food was really delicious, but because the person who made it was Issou.
As a daughter-con, Coubé believed that even if Issou made a bunch of spicy chicken, Coubé would laugh and say that it was delicious.
Part of the reason why his cooking skills were so good now was because of his mother's picky and poisonous tongue. Issou: "…???"
Wait a minute.
Did Stephen misunderstand the word 'daughter-con', or did he misunderstand his mother?
Once, Toad and Meatballs used Magneto as an example to prove that Issou's food was delicious, but Strange did not take it to heart — —
Because he was too focused on watching Magneto make a fool of himself.
Therefore, even though Strange was already living in the same dimension as Issou and met her by chance, he did not want to try her cooking.
If time could be turned back, then Strange would want to go back to the day when Magneto became the scapegoat. He swore — —
He would definitely focus on Issou's cooking and not watch Magneto make a fool of himself.
If time could be turned back, then Strange would want to go back to the day when he first heard Coubé say that her baby daughter's cooking skills were amazing. He swore — —
Even if there was a risk of being beaten by Coubé, he would stubbornly pester her until they went home to eat Issou's Chinese food.
If time could be turned back … — —
Uh.
Strange, who was deep in regret, suddenly realized — —
Wait a minute.
He was indeed able to turn back time.
For example, now — —
"Stop it, Charles!"
Strange shouted at Charles, who was about to pick up the last piece of braised meat, and said to him in a particularly serious tone, "Don't force me to use the Eye of Agamotto to turn back time."
Charles: "…???"
When the Ancient One accepted you as an apprentice, did he ever think that one day you would choose to use the Eye of Agamotto to turn back time for a bite of food!?
"Stephen, you said that even if you had professional door opening skills, you would only use them to save the world."
Charles said to Strange bitterly, "And now you're going to use the Eye of Agamotto for a piece of braised meat!!?"
I'm not.
I'm not.
Don't talk nonsense.
Almost as soon as Charles' voice fell, Strange flicked out three consecutive denials that belonged to Doctor Strange, and he corrected him sternly, "There is a saying in China — food is the most important thing to the people, so Charles, what's the difference between you grabbing food now and letting the sky fall?"
Charles: "…???"
What he said makes sense … Something's wrong!
Professor X couldn't wait to pick up the last piece of braised meat and stuff it into his mouth, then grab the plate and directly slap him in the face. Nonsense!
But considering Strange's ability, Charles gave a suggestion — —
"We can order another braised meat."
Hearing Charles' words, Strange's eyes lit up slightly, but as he raised his hand to speak, someone said in unison with him, "Another braised meat."
As soon as the voice fell, Strange turned his head subconsciously, and as a result, he was faced with a face identical to his own.
Strange: "…"
For the first time, he hated his face so much.
Shylock: "…"
I agree.
Issou, who was in the kitchen, heard the sound coming from outside. She poked her head out slightly and said to the two people who had just spoken at the same time, "Sorry, there's only one braised meat left."
After that, she didn't know if it was an illusion or not —
