The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman

In the late autumn of New York, there is already a bit of cold wind blowing through the streets and alleys. Pedestrians on the road are hurriedly wrapping their scarves tightly, pouring the last sip of hot coffee into their stomachs, filling up their rush to the destination.

When the door of Schiller's office was pushed open, the chill on Eddie's body was still there. He had two cups of hot coffee in his hand, one of which was half-empty.

Schiller, take a look at the new planning draft I wrote last night. I think it must meet what you want...Schiller? Schiller? Strange, who?

Eddie looked around the empty office and had to stop a nurse from outside the door, but the nurse also shook her head, expressing that she didn't know where Schiller had gone.

Eddie had to take out his mobile phone to call Nick, and asked, Director Fury, did Schiller say he was on vacation? I didn't find him in his office.

What? He didn't report it? Maybe he has other things to do... Forget it, I'll come to him at night.

Not long after Eddie left, Stark in a mecha flew in through the window, yelling as he flew: Schiller, no, we have to talk, you really can't go on like this, I'm going crazy Already!

Looking at the empty office, Stark was stunned. He flew out of the window again and flew around the entire Arkham Sanatorium, but the scanning system showed that Schiller was not here.

So, Stark had to fly to the small clinic in Hell's Kitchen. As soon as he opened the door and walked in, he saw a figure standing behind the refrigerator door, seeming to be taking something from it.

Schiller, you...Peter? Why are you here?

Stark looked at Peter standing behind the refrigerator door in surprise, Peter took a few steps back, poked his head out and said, I came to find Dr. Schiller, but found that he wasn't here, so I decided to make breakfast, and then Let's eat together when he comes back.

Are you also looking for Dr. Schiller? Mr. Stark, it may be that there is a traffic jam on the way from the nursing home. He should be there in a while.

I just came from the nursing home. Stark looked around and came to the stairs leading to the second floor. He looked up, but he didn't see the familiar figure in the narrow stairwell.

Peter, who was arranging the ingredients, was stunned. He looked up at the wall clock next to him and said, Today is Monday, and Dr. Schiller should come over to tidy up things at this time.

Peter took out the phone while talking. After dialing the number, he put the phone to his ear and waited for a long time. Then he frowned and dialed the number again. After finding that no one answered, he looked at Stark with a little worry. Say, Dr. Schiller doesn't answer the phone.

Call Nick, Stark said with a jerk of his chin.

Peter called Nick again and learned from Nick that Schiller did not report to go on vacation, and he would tell Nick if he was going to be away for a while.

You guys come here first. Nick's serious tone came from the phone. Peter and Stark glanced at each other and realized the seriousness of the matter, so they immediately set off to S.H.I.E.L.D.

When the two arrived at Nick's office at the SHIELD base. It was found that many people had arrived, besides Nick, Natasha and Eddie, there were Captain America Steve, Daredevil Matt, Professor X Charles and Loki.

Basically all members of the Alliance of Radiance were present, and Nick glanced around and said, So you didn't see Schiller?

Everyone shook their heads, and Peter said first: Every Monday morning, the doctor would go to the clinic in Hell's Kitchen to sort things out, so I waited for him there, but I didn't.

He's not in Arkham Sanatorium, either, Stark said, frowning, crossing his arms.

Neither on the Avengers base nor on the space carrier. Natasha said leaning against the wall.

Everyone turned their attention to Professor X, and Professor X frowned slightly and said, But this can't be called losing contact, after all, it's been less than half an hour since we didn't see him.

In the past, when Schiller left, he would definitely tell me a few days in advance. Nick went back and sat down behind the table, and said, Have you forgotten? He is an autistic patient and he will not change his life routine easily unless there is someone else. Urgent matter.

But Stark snorted coldly and said, Compared with something urgent, I think it's more likely that he wants to make trouble again.

Everyone turned their attention to him, and Stark touched his chin and said: In the past, when Schiller was doing things, he would make an alibi, and he would appear in front of us from time to time, making us think that he was just quietly acting as a psychological Doctor, but in fact, every time he makes trouble behind his back.

But this time, he didn't even provide an alibi, and suddenly disappeared... When Stark said this, he suddenly showed a horrified expression. He looked at Nick and said, Then he must What a big deal?

Peter suddenly raised his hand and said, Is it possible that Dr. Schiller had an accident or was kidnapped by someone. He is in danger now and is waiting for us to rescue him?

The others sighed in unison, and even Steve couldn't stand it any longer. He walked over and put his arms around Peter's shoulders and said, Peter, first of all, nothing is beyond Schiller's expectations. Secondly, it’s not that he’s in danger when he’s missing, and in the end, his plan succeeds every time because there’s always someone like you who wants to save him every time.”

Peter smacked his lips, and many images of memories quickly flashed through his mind. He is not stupid, and he naturally knows how big things Schiller has done before, and he plays an important role in Schiller's plan almost every time. role, the main reason is that he is easy to deceive.

We have to go to Schiller, but not for Schiller, but for our universe. Stark covered his forehead and said, Think about it, he still has the energy to do such big things in the past With an alibi, now that he doesn't even show his face, what kind of surprise is he preparing for?

In an instant, most of the people present shuddered, and Stark had a panoramic view of their expressions, and said in his heart: Before I told you, Schiller planned to drive this universe to hit the gods of other universes. Woolen cloth.

Out of the protection of the heart health of several elderly people present, Stark finally did not tell this appalling fact, but Peter raised his hand and asked.

Who was the last person Dr. Schiller saw?

The last time he came to me was to ask about the source of Stephen's brother's liver. Nick thought for a while and said, It was Schiller who appeased Victor to stay here for the operation, so he will definitely wait outside the operating room for the operation to succeed. .”

I'll make a call to Presbyterian Hospital, Stark said.

After Stark's phone call, the Presbyterian Hospital took it very seriously and asked the nurse on duty that day. When the nurse said that Strange called Schiller to the operating room, the expressions of several people in the room became wonderful. up.

Stephen is going to be in bad luck. Stark covered his mouth and coughed twice, hiding his smile and said: It seems that Schiller's big plan this time must be carried out around the crowning of the Supreme Mage.

Rocky thought for a while, and then said: Stephen shouldn't have offended Schiller, right? The two of them have similar personalities, and they are colleagues. They have always hit it off.

But at this time Matt said: I remember that I was in a car accident before and was seriously injured. It was Dr. Strange who performed the operation on me. At that time, he seemed reluctant. It was Schiller who threatened him. .”

Oh! Peter also let out a cry of sudden realization, and then said with some annoyance: I remembered, it was a few years ago that I caused Matt to be seriously injured, and Dr. Schiller brought Dr. Strange to do it. Surgery, Doctor Strange seems very angry.

It's not that Stephen offended Schiller, but that Schiller offended Stephen, but what can Stephen do with him? Stark snorted, and said with disdain: Can he still threaten Schiller?

At the end of time, in a dilapidated tent in the barren land of exile, Schiller stared at Strange and said, Just because I held a ballpoint pen to your forehead a few years ago, you're taking revenge on me like this? As for?!

Strange unhurriedly picked up the teapot with his remaining hand and made himself a cup of tea, turned his head to look at Schiller and said, If you hadn't made the ballpoint pen float, I wouldn't have known about this There is still magic in the world that can make arms disappear, isn’t it amazing?”

Schiller's hand holding the teacup was clenched instantly. He took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said, How are you willing to change your arm back?

I can't change back. Strange looked at Schiller and said very seriously: I pushed the power of the time gem to the extreme, and then completely destroyed all the timelines in this universe that belong to this arm.

That is to say, among all the timeline possibilities in this universe, I only have one arm. Even if you go back to the past, it is impossible to bring it back.

But you used to be a surgeon, and the most famous genius surgeon in the world, if you used to have only one arm, so what...

It's just that the influence of the residual timeline disturbance has not disappeared. After taking a sip of tea, Strange lowered his head and said, Soon, except for you and me, all creatures in this universe will not remember that I once A surgeon, as far as they remember, I was born with one arm.

Schiller froze in place completely, staring blankly at Strange, before speaking in disbelief after a long while.

Do you really know what you are doing? Stephen! That is the fame and achievement that you have spent countless days and nights and put in countless efforts. You just don't want it???

And Strange just blew on the tea quietly without saying anything.

Schiller sat across from him, leaned forward, looked him in the eyes and said.

Think about your father and your younger brother. Although they are not good at words, they have always been proud of you. Your achievements are not only your own, but also the pride of the Strange family.

You spent half your life breaking the gap between rich and poor, horizons, and educational conditions, and became a miracle that broke through classes. Are you willing to burn these achievements like this, and don't even leave a good reputation for helping the world?

Strange's hand holding the cup paused for a moment. He didn't look at Schiller, but quietly looked at the tea and said, Of course I don't want to.

Afterwards, he put the teacup on the table, and said in a reminiscent tone as if he remembered something.

Everyone knows how hard I work, because they know that this achievement cannot be achieved by talent alone. They think that I must be the kind of lonely genius who doesn't need to deal with mortals too much by nature. They think that I You must love learning and scientific research and get a lot of fun from it.”

But every night when I study hard into the night, I think about the meaning of all this. Can these textbooks and notes that accompany me to watch the sunrise accompany me for the rest of my life? And if not, what can replace them?

I hate rich people who have an elite education, come out of college and have countless like-minded friends and connections in various industries, first hating the connections that will get them promoted, and later hating the excitement of making friends .”

But since you put a ballpoint pen on my head and kicked me into the trend of the times, I have also become the person who makes friends, and the mages and colleagues in the Holy of Holies , and the members of the Radiance Alliance.

Strange took another sip of his tea, finally looked up at Schiller and said, People call me the 'Hand of God', but God doesn't even take the time to put me off every single sunrise like that. Felt alone, but you made it.

Strange showed a smile, which implied common arrogance and a hint of subtle malice.

Schiller, if the fame and status I've spent half my life acquiring are just a little bit of fame for God, why can't I turn them into firewood so you can burn your ass too?

Strange picked up his teacup to cover up his smile, and said: After returning to Earth, every time you see my arm, you will think that it is your uncontrollable greed that makes me use this I owe you my debt.

Every time you accidentally reveal my identity as a surgeon but only get a bunch of surprised and confused expressions, you will remember what I sacrificed to remind you of the possible consequences of sacrificing yourself.

Strange's eyes fell on Schiller's arm, and at this moment, Schiller's hands began to tremble.

Finally, Schiller took a deep breath and turned his head away from meeting Strange's eyes.

The sunset outlined a golden line on his side face, and a sigh full of anger, emotion and helplessness echoed on the barren land.

Rejuvenation, Doctor Strange.

It has to be weird
