This decadent middle-aged man is none other than Stephen Strange, the arcane genius of the ancient prophecy.

After leaving Wakanda, Lu Xiao went directly to New York and first met Jonathan Pangborn.

Even after leaving Kama Taj, Phamborn still has great respect for Lu Xiao, who has regained the light of his life, and he told Lu Xiao in detail about the process of completing the task.

Before leaving for Wakanda, Lu Xiao instructed Wanda to come to New York under his name and discuss with Pembern how to lure Strange into becoming interested in the world of mysticism.

At that time, Strange was at the lowest point in his life, and after losing his hands, he also lost his goal, and he was thinking about how to heal his hands and return to the top.

However, this is only self-paralysis in despair.

Strange's nerve damage to his hand was so severe that he would have to shy away from this kind of surgery himself, let alone other neurosurgeons with less skill.

After many desperate attempts to no avail, Strange gradually despaired.

In order to heal his hands, Strange, who has always spent a lot of money, underwent a number of costly surgeries in just a few months using cutting-edge technology and equipment.

He finally fell into a money crisis, and his peers who used to call him brothers and sisters have distanced themselves from him, and Stephen Strange, who was once famous all over the world, has tasted the warmth and coldness of people during this time.

Again, human beings are born with an inferior nature, and what is not gained and lost is the best.

Strange, who had become a loner, finally began to restrain his pride and conceit, and he realized how foolish he had been in anger with Christine Palmer.

After a period of loneliness and remorse, Strange finally became curious about Pembourne's recovery under the guidance of a rehabilitation doctor.

The rehab doctor, who didn't know anything about the facts, was just trying to encourage Strange to tell Pembern.

Of course, it is inevitable that some people will be secretly induced.

"Enough!"

Strange, who insisted on rehabilitation, finally exploded under the influence of an irritable mentality: "These rehabilitation treatments are useless at all!" ”

"Have you ever seen a person whose nerve damage has reached this level and who can still recover through rehabilitation?!"

The rehabilitation doctor who was scolded by Strange was not angry, and the people in his line of work have seen too many people who are emotionally broken, and they have long been accustomed to it.

"Don't say it, I've seen it."

The black rehabilitation doctor calmly continued: "Last year, there was a person who injured the C7 and C8 spine in the neck due to a work accident, and was completely paralyzed from the chest down, and even if he was in a wheelchair, he continued to feel severe pain from his shoulder. ”

"Initially, he insisted on coming for rehabilitation three times a week, and after a while he never came again."

The black doctor looked into Strange's eyes and said, "I thought he would have given up on himself, but the other day I watched him and his friends walk by the door of the rehabilitation center with a basketball in their hands. ”

Strange looked up in surprise: "Walked through?" ”

"Yes, walk through."

Strange tugged at the corners of his mouth disdainfully: "Hell." ”

"Let me look at his medical records, it must have been misdiagnosed by some quack."

The black doctor looked at Strange speechlessly: "You think it's easy to get medical records?" ”

"But it's worth the time to shut up your egotistical guy."

The rehab doctor wasn't lying, and the next day he sent Pembourne's case to Strange.

After reading the case, Strange was still skeptical, and he decided to follow the address on the case to find Pembern and observe his physical condition for himself.

When Lu Xiao returned from Wakanda, Strange had just learned the secret of his recovery from Pembourne.

Strange, who received a science education since childhood, has a hard time believing the mysterious world that Pembern is talking about, but apart from this answer, it cannot explain why Pembourne, who is seriously injured and paralyzed, can still play basketball alive.

Strange had personally confirmed his case, and there was no misdiagnosis.

Pembourne's spine was indeed hopeless, but a living example was in front of him, and Strange couldn't help but believe it.

Just as Strange was hesitating whether to follow Pembern's instructions to Nepal to find Kama Taj, an incredible scene appeared in front of Strange.

Lu Xiao's miraculous vision prompted Strange to make a decision, and he used his last savings to buy a plane ticket to Nepal.

If he couldn't heal his hands, he wouldn't even be able to scrape together the money for a return ticket, so he had to beg on the streets of Nepal to make a living.

……

Nepal is one of the least developed countries on the planet, and flying from New York to Kathman, the capital of Nepal, requires multiple and time-consuming flights.

As Strange struggled to pack his bags with trembling hands and prepare to leave, the Avengers, far away in Siberia, finally saw the truth hidden in the base.

"This guy ......"

Yongzhen untied the ice that bound Zemo's limbs and lifted him up from the ground: "It's the mastermind behind the Thaw Winter Soldier's attack on the United Nations, I've already checked his identity." ”

"Di~"

Yongzhen uses Focus to enlarge and project Zemo's data in front of Stark, Rogers, and others.

"Helmut Zemo, who was once part of the Skovia Intelligence Service, led a secret assassination unit called the 'Echo Scorpion'."

"Because of a failed mission, Zemo and his team were officially banished by Skovia, and since then they have become free mercenaries, traveling back and forth between European countries to earn money to support their families."

Yongzhen handed Zemo into Tony's hands: "As for why did he design the Avengers...... I don't need to explain it, right? ”

"Skovia ......"

Stark looked at the unconscious Zemo and was silent for a moment, and Yongzhen took this time to ask Alethea to turn on the antique computer in the base.

Under Altheia's control, a large number of ancient computer monitors in the base have appeared on the text one after another, and one of the computers also shows the whole process of the Winter Soldier Barnes killing the Howards and snatching the super soldier serum.

Zemo had previously recorded the video at the United Nations General Assembly, and Tony, unwilling to see the tragic death of his parents, forced himself to turn his attention to the material displayed on other computer screens.

The content of these materials is actually nothing new, except for the detailed experience of Sergeant James Buchanan Barnes who fell off a cliff, was rescued by Hydra, brainwashed, and injected with super soldier serum.

As smart as Stark, he has long seen the huge difference between the ruthless Winter Soldier on the video and Barnes, the companion of the Avengers.

However, humans are not creatures that rely entirely on rational thinking, and Stark in his anger can't care so much, only thinking about killing Barnes to pay for his parents' lives.

These records in front of him prove Rogers' previous defense, when Barnes was completely unable to control himself, and he did not even have a deep memory of killing the Howards.

Yongzhen stood aside and added, "I've heard Lu Xiao talk about the process of subduing and repairing Barnes's mind. ”

"At that time, Barnes's spiritual world was in a mess, and he had no consciousness of his own at all, and Hydra only needed to use a few stupid Russian words to control him."

"Lu Xiao used spiritual spells to straighten out Barnes's messy soul, awaken his true consciousness, and lifted the brainwashing of Hydra, so that the real Barnes stood in front of you and joined the Avengers to atone for the mistakes he had committed."

"That's all for me."

Yongjin raised his left hand with the hanging ring and drew a circle with his right hand to open the portal to Moscow.

"The truth of the year is in front of you, and it is up to you how you make your choice."
