Beep! Beep! Beep!
The entire third floor of the hospital was occupied by the gang members armed with live ammunition. The irrelevant people were all chased out. All the big shots of the Devil Gang gathered in the corner of the hospital, watching the progress of the operation. No one spoke, and the atmosphere was extremely solemn.
"It's hard to imagine that he's still alive with such extensive burns!"
Strange and his newly married wife, Dr. Palmer, rushed over after hearing the news. They stood outside the window of the operating room. Both of them couldn't hide the surprise in their eyes. Palmer even exclaimed out loud. She looked at her husband and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?
Is he a sorcerer from the Holy Land like you? " Ordinary people can't survive with such injuries. Oh my God, his muscles and tissues are all charred. "
Before Strange became a sorcerer, he was a world-renowned neurosurgeon. His pawn, Palmer, was also a famous surgeon in New York. Saber's injuries could not be hidden from professionals like them.
Strange shook his head when he heard his wife's question. He reached out and called Santals, who was standing aside, and asked in a low voice.
"Your boss's injuries are abnormal. Burns of such a large area must have been caused by internal injuries. I can feel the residual energy from the burns even though I'm standing here. I doubt that the doctor can cure him."
"We can't find another doctor. Boss's heart has stopped beating. If it weren't for the demon he contracted, we would've thought he was dead. There's no way other doctors can cure him."
Before Santals could finish, Strange took off his trench coat and unbuttoned his shirt cuffs. He looked up at Santals.
"Get me a surgical gown. I'll be the chief surgeon!"
He turned his head and looked at his wife, a hint of tenderness flashing in his eyes. "Honey, you'll be my assistant."
Santals hesitated for a moment. He walked to the other leaders and told them about the situation. A moment later, Professor Hawkins, who could not do anything about Saber's injuries, walked out of the operating room with his grandson. He stood aside and watched the young couple put on the surgical gowns and began to take care of him.
This time, the operation lasted for a very long time. After 4 hours, even with the strength of an official Mage, Strange still felt tired. He took a thick stack of test reports and went to the meeting room where the Devil Gang's leaders were resting. After distributing the materials, he cleared his throat and said, "Let's go.
"There's a gene fragment in Seber's genes that allows him to heal. Logically speaking, an internal burn of this level shouldn't be able to kill him. However, the problem is that this self-healing ability is currently blocked by a special substance."
It was as if Strange had returned to being a doctor. He spoke frankly to the big shots who were looking at him. "But when I put the muscle tissue from Seiber back into a test vessel that simulates the human environment, it regained its super strong activity."
He looked around and saw the confused look on their faces. He emphasized, "Let's put it another way.
"Let me put it in a way that you can understand. Seiber has been poisoned. The toxin has spread through his blood and is replicating itself in a special way. His special ability as a mutated human is fighting against the toxin. However, it's obvious that this is a stalemate. It's very difficult for him to win this battle on his own. Therefore, the only suggestion I can give you is to … find the toxin and cultivate the corresponding antibodies. This will allow him to recover quickly."
Catherine clenched the test report in her hand. She looked up at Strange and whispered.
"Then, if we use magic …"
"That's the strangest part."
Strange rubbed his chin, a puzzled look on his face. "I used time magic on Saber. Logically speaking, this should be enough to restore his body to its healthiest state, but the magic failed. There's a mysterious force affecting the effect of the magic. In fact, it's not just time magic, I've also tried healing magic and black magic, but it's all useless."
Strange spread his hands, a trace of helplessness on his face.
"This is probably the first guy I've seen who's completely immune to magic, but this isn't luck. Hurry up, little Catherine. If you don't want your brother to stay in this terrible state, you have to find the toxin as soon as possible. If you have any requests, I'll do my best to help you."
Bang!
Before he finished, the door of the conference room was violently pushed open. A beautiful girl with wine-red glasses walked in quickly. She waved a piece of paper in her hand and placed it in front of Catherine.
"Found it! All the information about the purple man and Dong Bing! It's all here! "
Catherine picked up the densely packed documents and felt dizzy at a glance. Strange took it, scanned it, and then looked at the bespectacled girl in front of him who kept rubbing her forehead in surprise.
"Where did you find these things? I don't think you can directly search for this kind of top-secret information from Google. "
"I copied it directly from S.H.I.E.L.D.'s database."
Felicity looked worriedly in the direction of Saber's ward. Her pale blonde hair shook. "Saber didn't spend 200,000 USD a week just to let me wear a maid uniform … Is he okay?"
The bespectacled girl turned her head to look at Catherine. In this room, in the absence of Saber and Robin, their direct heir, Catherine Anne Hawk, had become the nominal supreme commander. Everyone, including veterans like Lewis and Cooper who rushed back to Gotham, had their eyes on Catherine. They were waiting for the heir whom Saber had high hopes for to make a choice.
Catherine's mental state had been terrible for the past few days. Pixie's departure, Dorothy's death, everything was enough to break a girl's mind. But at this time, looking at everyone's eyes, she realized that after Saber and Robin disappeared, she really felt the pressure from the collective. She really wanted to take all the warriors of The Devil Gang to New York, but she didn't know who to look for in New York for revenge.
This was the most frustrating thing! She didn't even know who to stab with her sword …
She was in so much pain. The pain from the individual and the collective mixed together made her want to rush out of the room and cry in the arms of the person who could shelter her from the wind and rain. But that person had already collapsed in the ward.
"Phew …"
Catherine took a deep breath. She stood up like Saber, put her hands on the table, and looked around.
"I really want to rush to the enemy with you and cut off their claws, but we can't do it! We don't even know who the enemy is! "
"Saber once told me that when we don't know the enemy's strength, we can't act rashly. Now that we have seen it, the enemy is coming for us. They have already played a trick, and we can't give them a second chance. So for the next period of time, I will use all the resources to heal Saber and gather all the forces to protect our base. Do you have any questions about this?"
"No!"
Lewis was the first to speak, and the others also agreed. This attitude made Catherine's heart calm down a little. She sniffled and thought of Saber's tragic situation. She gritted her teeth and put forward a second opinion.
"I know that Saber went to meet the damn Magneto before the accident. That old man is not easy to deal with. Facing the Mutants Brotherhood, we don't have enough middle-level strength now. In addition to speeding up the speed of contracting demons, I also want to gather some reliable Mutants who have families to go back to to fill the forces of The Devil Gang … Saber, Saber once said that he would not participate in the upcoming storm, but now …"
The little girl pursed her lips and looked at the people in front of her.
"We are already involved, and we have no way out! Then let's just fight! "
"But the loyalty of those people …"
The astute Lewis stroked his beard and said to Catherine, "At this moment, we may not be able to guarantee the loyalty of those people. If we recruit some sneaky people, the result will be very bad."
"Regarding this problem, we have a solution!"
Catherine seemed to have a plan in mind. She looked at the core members of The Devil Gang in front of her and said loudly, "Find Shauna who is still studying in London, and then go to Texas to invite Mr. Johnny to come to Gotham to help. We will examine the souls of everyone who wants to join The Devil Gang, so that we can make sure nothing goes wrong!"
"Let me add one last thing!"
Strange spoke as a listener at the meeting. He looked at the others and said, "At this time, you have to hide the news of Saber's near-death and create the illusion that he is safe. You understand why you have to do this, right?"
Everyone nodded. Those who could sit here were not idiots, and they naturally knew what to do.
After the meeting, outside Seber's room, Catherine took Felicity's hand and whispered to her, "Don't worry, Miss Felicity.
"Little fairy, can you find the stronghold of those who murdered Saber?"
Felicity looked at Saber who was lying there without a sound, his whole body burnt. There was a trace of sadness in her beautiful eyes as she whispered, "It's very difficult.
They seem to be warriors of a large organization. There is no valuable information at the scene, but if I can hack into SHIELD's highest level database, I should be able to find some clues. There is still a part of the Purple Man's information that is blocked, and I can't find it, and … "
She raised her eyebrows and glared at Catherine.
"Don't call me that annoying nickname, I'm not a fairy."
"But you're seducing Saber, I can see that! You're a coquettish little bitch who sneaked into his room in the middle of the night in a maid's dress. But if you can really save him, I don't mind sending you to my brother's bed myself. He already has two bed mates anyway. "
Catherine shook her hand indifferently and frowned. "Also, didn't you say that there is no database in the world that can stump you?"
"But that highest level database is physically encrypted. Without the corresponding key, I can't connect to their private network at all."
Felicity's face turned red. She spread her hands unnaturally and said helplessly, "I can't do anything about this situation."
Catherine's little face wrinkled. She scratched her chin and asked,
"Is the authority of a Level-7 agent enough?"
"Not enough!"
Felicity pushed her glasses up. "You need to be at least a Level-8 agent to have that kind of top-level key."
"Okay! Leave it to me. We'll go to New York in two hours. By the way, help me find two people. I have an immature plan. If everything goes well, we'll probably be able to find a way to save Saber soon. "
Catherine looked around and lowered her voice. "But this time, we have to keep our trip a secret. I'll find someone I trust to go with us."
"Oh? It sounds interesting. "
A frivolous voice sounded from the corner beside Catherine. The little girl turned her head abruptly and saw a tall woman leaning against the wall in a very seductive posture, playing with a sharp fighting fork in her hand. She frowned and put her left hand on the hilt of the katana at her waist. There was a trace of murderous intent on her face.
"Who are you? Why are you here? "
Erica shrugged, ignoring Catherine's hostility. She looked at Saber lying on the hospital bed through the window and said in a low voice, "I'm one of your brothers.
"I'm one of your brother's bed partners. Little girl, I don't want to see my bed partner become like this. So, if you have a way to make him recover, you'd better plan it carefully. Moreover, I'm not a stranger …"
As soon as she finished speaking, her figure turned into black smoke and disappeared. When she reappeared, she was already behind Felicity. She placed her hands on the chest of the startled bespectacled lady and rubbed it hard, causing Felicity to scream in shame and indignation. She turned to look at Catherine and said, "What's wrong with you?"
"I've already protected you for ten whole days, you ungrateful little girl."
Catherine put down the hilt of the knife in her hand. She took a deep breath and stretched out her left hand. She placed it in front of the two girls and said softly,
"Okay … but to be honest, I don't believe you! But now that the plan is done, we should take action. If you say you're trustworthy, then prove it to me in action! "
"If you can't prove it, I'll kill you with my own hands!"
Erica's face darkened. She whispered, "So, are all Christian family members so difficult to deal with?"
The little girl glanced at her coldly.
"It's just a Christian family tradition. Only through blood can we bring about mutual loyalty."
