Saber threw away the burning body in his hand and snorted a little unhappily. Without looking at Strange, he turned around and walked to his car. Strange took the time to pack his bag. He watched Saber get in the car, the car started, and he rushed out with his bag on his back.
He stretched out his hand and spread it out. He couldn't open his eyes because of the shining light, but he stubbornly blocked in front of Saber's car.
"Click"
With an unpleasant braking sound, the wheels slid far away on the icy road and stopped on the ground less than 30 centimeters away from Strange. Saber opened the door and walked down angrily. He was very upset now, so in the face of all unexpected situations, he subconsciously used the simplest way to deal with them.
He walked towards Strange with his fists moving, his eyes shining with malice, making the former surgeon's scalp tingle even if he looked at him. This is different from the brave young man before. Strange saw absolute indifference in Saber's eyes.
This is definitely a character who kills without blinking an eye.
"I … I'm also looking for Kamar-Taj!"
Just as Seiber's fist was about to land on Strange's body, the surgeon shouted desperately, "Maybe we can exchange information! Help each other … we come from the same place, don't we? "
"Bang"
The fist that was not heavy, but definitely not light, fell on Strange's cheek and smashed the poor man out. This blow made the surgeon dizzy. He fell to the ground awkwardly and was dizzy. The next moment, he was lifted from the ground by Saber. He saw those eyes, those dark red pupils, suppressing an unimaginable anger.
"I have nothing to exchange with you! You don't even know the names of Kamar-Taj and Ancient One! You are just wasting my time! My time … is precious now, disappear from my eyes! I order you! "
"Bang"
Strange's body was thrown to the ground. He watched in despair as Saber turned and walked to the car. He knew that this was his last hope, and the surgeon's instinctive wisdom was also affecting him. He just heard Kamar-Taj and another name from Saber's words … Just from this point, he was sure that the guy in front of him who kills without blinking has a deeper understanding of Holy Land than him.
And he seems to have never doubted the existence of Kamar-Taj!
It was like a ray of light suddenly shot into the darkness of despair. Even if it was extremely weak, Strange must catch it!
Because that was his last hope! That was the last hope of a desperate person whose entire inner world was destroyed!
"Bang"
Hearing the sound from behind, Saber's footsteps slowed down. Behind him, Strange lowered his head and knelt on the ground with trembling hands supporting his body.
"Please … please take me there!"
"I have nothing left, I have nothing to give you, but please … I spent my last hope to come here, but I don't know how to go on. Please, take me to Kamar-Taj! I have to go there! "
Saber took a deep breath. He turned his head and looked at Strange who was kneeling there. In just a few minutes, he could see that this person should have been a very proud person, but in order to go to Kamar-Taj, in order to see Ancient One, he could abandon all his pride and make himself as humble as dirt.
At least Saber knew that he definitely couldn't do it, even if the result of not doing it was death.
He was not the kind of person who would abandon everything in order to survive.
"Why?"
Saber asked, "Why do you have to go to Kamar-Taj and even give up your dignity for it?"
"These hands!"
Strange's voice trembled. In the cold wind, his weak body was almost frozen. He gritted his teeth and said, "I have to find a way to restore these hands!"
"Why?"
Saber asked the same question. Strange took a deep breath.
"Because without it, there is no life … there is no meaning, there is no value, there is no everything … it is meaningless!"
"Nothing in this world is meaningless."
Saber turned around and continued to walk to his car, "There are always other things in the world that can fill your life, not just your hands. What you need is not Kamar-Taj, what you need is a new way of life, a new meaning of life. Those things can be found anywhere. You don't have to go to Kamar-Taj to try your luck."
He still had a sentence that he didn't say.
"Only people like me need to abandon everything to find the last hope … You are much luckier than me."
"No! It's not like that! "
Strange got up and shouted at Saber, "It's not like that! I don't want to see them pity me! I don't need them to pity me! I don't need anyone to tell me … Look, this is poor Stephen, how pitiful! I need them again, another abandoned child of society needs them. Come on, enlighten them and then face life again! "
Strange was like a madman. He opened his hands and shouted in front of Saber who had already turned the engine.
"Shit! It's all shit! I don't want to see them happy and want to sing, I don't want to see it! My hands are the only value in my life! I have lost it now. I promised my sister that I would make a career that would shock the world. I lost her, now … I will even lose my promise to her! "
"Shit! I don't believe it! I don't believe it! "
"Vroom"
The engine sounded again, and Saber's low voice sounded, "It has nothing to do with whether you believe it or not. The world is like this, it has never been gentle. Do you think you have the honor to be gentler to you?"
"Haha … I'm afraid your brain is damaged. The world doesn't revolve around you, it never has … Go back, Stephen, go back to your world. The world you want to go to is too cruel for you, you will be eaten alive!"
"Go back?"
Strange raised his hands, his eyes were filled with a crazy stubbornness, "Go back? Why? Why? "
"Because at least you will be able to keep your life …"
Saber stepped on the accelerator and ignored Strange. The car slowly moved forward and passed by Strange's body. He could only look at the car in despair. His last hope in life was getting further and further away from him. The surgeon finally couldn't take the blow. He collapsed on the ground and looked at his hands as if he was in a daze.
If it was Seiber's way of doing things, he would have just walked away. Perhaps it was Strange's words, "We came from the same place," that moved him. His eyes were fixed on the rearview mirror as he looked at Strange, who was already filled with despair.
They did come from the same place, but it wasn't Gotham or New York … They came from despair and came here to find hope … Saber irritably lit a cigarette. He took a deep breath but his heart couldn't calm down. The depression seemed to follow him like a shadow. In the end, he viciously smashed the steering wheel.
There was an unconcealable frailty in his eyes. No one could remain indifferent in the face of death. Saber was no exception.
"Alright, alright, as you wish … Consider it Saber's last mercy!"
Bang!
A loud noise woke Strange up. He raised his head and saw that the car had stopped 200 meters away. The front passenger door had been kicked open.
Even though there was no sound, the surgeon's face was filled with hope and joy. He quickly crushed all the despair in his heart and carried the bag on his back with great difficulty. Then, he ran towards the car in the cold wind while shouting at the top of his lungs.
"There is still hope! There is still hope! Donna, you are protecting me, right? My Donna … I won't give up. I swear … for you, I won't give up either! "
Bang!
Strange tried his best to close the car door. Saber ignored him and continued to drive. Strange fastened his seatbelt. Saber noticed his trembling hands. Red light flashed in his eyes. The hands in front of him immediately turned into an image of red and black light. He could see that the life force in the hands was extremely weak.
Black, that was the color of steel.
"You had steel nails in your hands?"
Strange was startled by Seiber's sudden question. He glanced at Seiber and hurriedly clasped his hands together before nodding.
"I was in a car accident … 27 steel nails. I used to be a neurosurgeon."
Strange smiled bitterly. "I relied on my hands to make a living."
"No wonder … Wait!"
Saber said casually. But neurosurgeon and 27 steel nails were like two keywords that awakened some memories in his mind.
"Your name is Stephen Strange, right? Your last patient was a mutant called Kayla. Her husband is Logan Houtley. You didn't have time to do the surgery before you had a car accident, right? "
"Hmm?"
Strange looked at Saber curiously. "You know me?"
"No, not really. Logan and I are friends."
Saber shrugged. "You disappointed him … If you meet that big guy in the future, you have to be careful. Also, I have to tell you that I don't know where Kamar-Taj is. The only thing I can be sure of is that it is here. It really exists."
Saber took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and threw it on the dashboard.
"Give me one. We all need luck now."
Strange shook his head.
"I am a doctor. I don't smoke. By the way, you look very healthy. Why are you looking for Kamar-Taj?"
"Me? Health? "
Saber shook his head. He looked out of the window. There were no lights in the metropolis. There was only the most primitive, most natural scenery and night.
"Stephen, you just lost a pair of hands. Believe me … you are already very lucky."
"Then how do we find Kamar-Taj?"
Stephen saw that Saber was unwilling to continue on this topic. He nodded and began to worry about another problem. He had not seen the shocking power of Ancient One. Naturally, he did not have much fear and understanding of that extraordinary world. He was just immersed in false hope.
Seiber looked at Strange and saw the joy on his face. He didn't even have the heart to break that illusion. They were still far away from the truth … The distance on land was not worth mentioning, but in their hearts, the Ancient One would not let them pass so easily.
At least he would not let them pass so easily … Johnny Blaze just signed a contract with the Devil and was required to clear 999 evil spirits to regain the freedom of his soul. What about him?
He was the one who triggered a crisis that threatened the balance of power. He definitely wouldn't have it any easier than Johnny. If possible, Seber would rather switch places with Johnny.
On the other side, far away, the Land of the Holy Spirit, Kamar-Taj. Outside the meditation room of Ancient One, a man in plain and serious black clothes was waiting there. He had typical Asian characteristics and a special temperament, just like a soldier, but he was more mysterious than a soldier.
After Ancient One ended her long meditation, she walked out of the quiet room and saw the man standing in the courtyard like a javelin. A smile appeared on her face.
"Mr. Quan, are you here on behalf of the Heavenly Sword Bureau?"
The unsmiling man nodded and said succinctly, "That's right.
"Heavenly Sword Bureau Level 6 agent Yao Fei disappeared during a mission. This seems to involve an organization in the hinterland of the Himalayas. We are about to launch an operation. We are here to inform Ancient One that this operation is not directed at Kamar-Taj."
"Oh … I absolutely trust you in this regard, but I am curious."
Ancient One waved his hand indifferently, and a trace of curiosity appeared on his face. "Are those Shadow Warriors crazy? How do they have the confidence to provoke the Heavenly Sword Bureau? "
Mr. Quan's face also showed a trace of helplessness.
"It's probably because we've been silent for too long. Those restless people think of us as trash like SHIELD. But that's good. The knife always needs to be sharpened to be sharper. I hope the headquarters of Shadow Warrior won't be as vulnerable as it was decades ago."
