The hooded man's name was Mordo, a strange name, and he didn't seem to be a good dealer, and he smelled of an ascetic all over his body.

However, he carried out the order of the Ancient One very thoroughly, and after the Ancient One interrupted his battle with Cyber, he immediately put away the beast head stick in his hand, put the hood back on, and walked between the bewildered Strange and the ill-intentioned Cyber without saying a word, and he stood at the corner of the street, looking back at them.

Cyber and Strange stood still, a hint of impatience flashed in Mordo's calm gray eyes,

"Do you want to stay here for the New Year? Come with me, the reception hall is in front!"

Cyber shrugged and glanced back at Strange,

"Can you still go?"

Strange nodded, took out a piece of clean white gauze from his coat pocket with difficulty, and stuck it to the wound, only the abrasion of the bullet, not serious, and as the best surgeon ever, he was not worried about the wound getting worse.

After a few minutes of delay, Strange picked up his baggage from the ground, and looked at the watch on his left hand, which had been completely damaged in the chase just now, and even the hands in it had been broken, and this watch was probably the last thing of value on Strange's body.

I don't know why he insisted on carrying it with him all the time.

The surgeon looked at his wrist, and there was a trace of pain, a hint of reluctance, and even a hint of determination in his eyes, but eventually, his eyes became soft, and he carefully put the broken watch in his pocket, stood up silently, and smiled at Cyber.

"Let's go. ”

Cyber glanced at him, didn't say anything more, just put the alloy knife on the base of the wooden box before, and in less than 2 seconds, a complete wooden box appeared on his shoulder again, he took off his mask, put on his sunglasses, like an ordinary backpacker, whistled, swaggered after Mordo, and walked towards the reception hall.

Sure enough, Mordo didn't lie to them, and walked for less than 5 minutes, outside a small wooden door facing the street, Mordo's fingers drew three complex runes in a row on the quaint wooden door, the wooden door was half opened, he was the first to walk in, Cyber undoubtedly had his second to walk in, and Strange was a little afraid, but still followed Cyber and walked in.

After really seeing Cyber's combat power just now, he was full of confidence in Cyber, but Cyber himself didn't have much confidence, especially when he was about to face the Ancient One.

The dark path was like a threshold that had to be passed into the house, but it was not an ordinary length, and Cyber could feel that they had advanced in the darkness for at least 3 minutes, but there was still no end in sight, and Strange's breathing became rapid at the end.

He was just an ordinary man, and he had nothing to do with this magnificent and dangerous world until he met Cyber.

Probably seeing Strange's nervousness, Mordo suddenly spoke,

"Relax, the space tunnel will put a strain on the spirit of ordinary people, and if you don't want to be crushed halfway through, you'd better clean up. ”

It's not so much explanation and comfort, it's more like a cold script, and there is no trace of comfort in it at all, but in any case, no matter how long the journey is, there is an end, and after another 3 minutes, a sudden light envelops the three of them.

After the light had cleared, what came into view was an antique living room, which looked like a library, and occasionally you could see people dressed like Mordo walking around in it, most of them reading some kind of book, Mordo stepped forward very respectfully, and saluted the woman in a white robe who was standing in front of the large bookshelf, looking through a heavy book.

Cyber didn't salute, but the rebelliousness in his eyes dissipated a lot, he was a man who knew how to respect power, especially in the face of true power, he would not skimp on his respect.

Only Strange looked around curiously, and he turned sharply, only to find that there was no passage behind them, just another bookshelf full of books.

"It's... Is this the world?"

Gu Yi turned around, at this time, all the mysterious, all the aura on her body seemed to fade at this moment, she looked like an ordinary woman, but the bald head was extremely conspicuous, she held a book in her hand, sat comfortably on the chair next to her, and looked up at Cyber.

"In the two hours you came here, three people died because of you, Cyber, the smell of blood on your body will probably not be washed away in your life. ”

Cyber shrugged his shoulders, ignoring the ridicule of the Ancient One Mage, he looked left and right, and said very easily,

"So now... Am I already here for Kama Taj?"

Mo Du, who was standing beside the ancient one, raised his eyes and glanced at him, shook his head, and replied for the ancient one,

"No... You're not far from it. ”

Gu Yi waved his hand, Mo Du retreated with respect in his eyes, and left with the rest of the entire library, and the old man who left at the end closed the door intimately, so there were only three people left in this huge library.

"Mordo has an old-fashioned personality, but he is a very good warrior and one of my proud disciples. ”

The Ancient One flipped through a page of the book and said nonchalantly, "He has rarely been defeated against foreign enemies, and you may have made him feel on the verge of defeat for the first time, but he was right, Cyber, this is the distance from Kama Taj... There is still a long way to go. ”

The Ancient One raised her head, her gaze crossed to Cyber and placed it on Strange, and she waved her hand at Cyber,

"I'm going to talk to Mr. Strange first, would you mind? ”

Cyber naturally didn't mind, he waved his hand, then put down the wooden box in his hand, sat on the chair on the side, picked up a cigarette, and at the moment of lighting it, he felt Gu Yi's gaze on his back, he obediently put the cigarette back into the cigarette case, spread his hands, and began to close his eyes to recuperate.

The Supreme Mage nodded in satisfaction, she looked at Strange, and with a slight movement of her fingers, a cup of hot tea flew off the table and fell into Strange's hand.

"What are you looking for here, Mr. Strange?"

Although the down-and-out former neurosurgeon had not heard of the legend of the Ancient One, but seeing that Cyber was so obedient, he immediately felt that the woman in front of him should be a real big man, so he put down the hot tea in his hand and said earnestly,

"I've come to find a way to heal my hands..."

"But I can't cure your hands!"

Gu Yi casually turned another page of the book, "I'm not a doctor, I'm just a witch who pretends to be a ghost, well, that's what you call it, and now you don't have this thought rolling in your heart?"

This unusual answer made Strange pause, he looked at the Ancient One, and the Ancient One looked at him, those beautiful eyes were full of honesty, she was telling the truth, she really couldn't heal Strange from a traditional point of view.

This honesty was misinterpreted as a form of indifference, which greatly stimulated Strange's increasingly fragile mind, and he gritted his teeth and whispered,

"But you healed Pembourne! A patient whose spine was broken into 17 pieces and should have been paralyzed, the last time I saw him, he was playing basketball with a group of young men who were 20 years younger than him... Master, I really, really came here with all my hopes. ”

Strange took a deep breath, folded his hands on his chest, and said respectfully,

"You are my last hope. ”

"Pembourne... It's a familiar name. ”

Koichi nodded, "He came to Kama Taj two years ago, and what he said at that time was almost exactly the same as what you say now, but I can feel the true sincerity in his words, but I can only feel the vanity in your words... Tell me, Strange, in your heart, do you really believe that there will be anyone in this world who can heal that injury?"

Without waiting for Strange to answer, the Ancient One spoke again,

"No, you don't believe it, because in this realm, you feel that you are the real God, a patient who has been sentenced to death by you, but he has been healed elsewhere, and you think that all this is unimaginable, are you here to heal yourself, or to debunk my tricks?"

"You see, I'm busy, I don't have time to say these things to someone whose head is full of argumentative ideas, so, let's be more open..."

Ancient One's gaze became serious, she stood up, and walked slowly to Strange, who was speechless,

"You... Do you believe in the existence of souls?"

Strange looked at her suspiciously, the look in his eyes telling the Ancient One that he didn't believe it! Even though he had seen Cyber burn the wicked with his eyes, and he had seen Mordo's magic, he still didn't believe it...

"This world is material, nothing can continue to exist without matter, I know that there are mutants in this world, I have had mutant patients, but even they can't create things out of thin air!"

Strange took a step back, "I haven't seen it, I haven't read a single scientifically based book on souls, I'm not a believer, so I don't believe it!"

"But Pembourne can recover... It depends on the power of his soul!"

The Ancient One whispered, "If you didn't believe it existed in the first place... So how do you grasp this last hope?"

"Oh my God!"

Strange grabbed his hair a little frantically, and he took a step back, "I came here at the cost of my life, and you told me to rely on my soul to heal myself... Maybe I should believe him more than yours!"

He pointed at Cyber, who opened his eyes and shrugged at the Ancient One, and Strange continued to shout,

"Maybe I should go back to where I came from, find the meaning of my life again, and become a new pillar of my life! and start a new life of hell, instead of listening to what you say here, the power of the hellish soul! I don't believe that! I don't believe it!"

"I don't rely on faith to heal!"

The last taut heartstrings of the poor man were finally broken at this moment, and he shouted like a psychopath, in this place where it should have been quiet,

"Oh my God! What the hell did I do! Maybe I should have agreed to that ridiculous request to do some cell regeneration experiment instead of listening to you here... Listen to a bald woman talk about some nonsense!"

"Enough!"

Cyber covered Strange's mouth, he glanced at the ancient one with some horror, Johnny's lesson was still vivid, he didn't want to implicate himself because of Strange's madness, he said loudly in Strange's ear,

"Master Gu Yi is one of the most powerful people in this world, you mortal who has no knowledge, you must respect her!"

"She's a liar! Woo, she's a liar!"

Strange struggled violently, and Cyber glanced at the ancient one helplessly, and whispered,

"This guy is crazy, master, I'm going to throw him out, I swear, I've only just met him, I'm not friends with him!"

"Alright, let him go, Cyber!"

Ancient One waved his hand, there was no expression on his calm face, Cyber let go of Strange, Ancient One's finger tapped in the air, and the body of the excited young man was fixed in place, and the Supreme Mage walked towards him and whispered,

"Stephen Strange, you are a person who sees the world from a hole, you think that what you see is the whole world, you are no different from other mortals, you have spent your whole life trying to expand this hole, but now, eager to become more knowledgeable, when you realize that this hole is far from the whole world, the world is bigger than you can even imagine..."

"You rejected it... What are you afraid of?"

Looking at the ancient one's penetrating eyes, Strange closed his eyes in panic, and he said loudly, "I'm not afraid, I don't refuse! I just don't believe in any stories of spiritual power, I don't believe in myths... I was born in the 20th century, I studied neuroscience, I took the Hippocratic oath! Oh my God, how do you make me believe that there really is a soul in this world?"

"Then let's take a look!"

The Ancient One's palm was pressed against Strange's chest, "Look at it with your eyes! Everyone is not a dispensable material dust in the universe, and your power is beyond your imagination..."

"Bang"

Strange felt a powerful force hit his chest, and the next moment, an indescribable feeling of freedom appeared in his heart, he turned around in a daze, and saw a strange hello from Cyber, he came back to his senses, but what he saw was the ancient one and his body...

Wait, if that's his body, what is he now?

No sooner had the thought crossed Strange's mind than an unimaginable suction force sucked him out of the room into a passage.

Cyber reached out and took Strange's body, he looked at the Ancient One curiously,

"Is there anything special about him? Supreme Mage... Why are you so interested in him?"

The Ancient One didn't answer the question, she turned to look at Cyber,

"Whether he matters or not depends on the future, and you belong to the present, Seber Hawk... Want to experience Mr. Strange's journey?"

Cyber shrugged, "Okay. ”

The Supreme Mage's palm was pressed against Cyber's chest again, and he could feel a force rushing into his body, maybe the next moment his soul would leave his body, but... He waited for more than ten seconds, but he didn't feel that way, he opened his eyes, and saw that Gu Yi's eyes were also full of doubts.
