11. Consultations
"Dididi"
In the busy ward, all kinds of instruments and all kinds of voices are mixed together, this is the most advanced ward of Wayne Hospital, but the doctor in charge of the operation is Professor Hawkins himself, this professor is a biology expert, but also a skilled surgeon, and he is assisted by his grandson, Alvin Hawkins, a high-ranking cadre of the Devil's Gang.
The entire third floor of the hospital was occupied by the gangsters with loaded guns, and the idlers were all driven out, and all the bigwigs of the entire Devil Gang gathered in the corner of the hospital, watching the progress of the operation, no one spoke, and the atmosphere was solemn to the extreme.
"Burns of this magnitude ... It's hard to imagine he's still alive!"
Strange and his newly married wife, Dr. Palmer, stood outside the window of the operating room, and both husband and wife had surprises in their eyes, and Palmer exclaimed even more, she looked at her husband and asked in a low voice:
"Is he the same mage of that holy place as you? it is impossible for an ordinary person to survive this injury, oh my God, his musculature is scorched. ”
Before turning to a promising job as a mage, Strange was a world-renowned neurosurgeon, and his pawn Palmer was also a well-known surgeon in New York, and Cyber's injuries couldn't be hidden from professionals like them.
Hearing his wife's question, Strange shook his head, he reached out and called Santals, who was standing on the side, and asked in a low voice,
"Your boss's injuries are not normal, this kind of burns must be caused from the inside of the body, I can feel those special energy residues when I stand here, I doubt it, can that doctor handle it?"
"We can't find any other doctors... The boss's heartbeat stopped, and if it weren't for the fact that the demon he contracted was still active, I'm afraid even we would think that he was dead, and it would be impossible for other doctors to heal this injury. ”
Before Santals could finish his words, he saw Strange take off his trench coat and reach out to undo the cuffs of his shirt, and he looked up at Santals,
"Get me a surgical gown, I'll do the surgery!"
He turned his head to look at his wife, a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes, "Honey, you came to be my assistant." ”
Santals hesitated, he walked over to the principals and told them about it, and after a few moments, Professor Hawkins, who was helpless in the face of Cyber's injury, breathed a sigh of relief and walked out of the operating room with his grandson, and stood aside to watch the young couple change into surgical gowns and begin to take care of his troubles.
This operation took a long time, until 4 hours later, even with the energy of a formal mage, Strange felt tired, he took the thick test sheet and walked to the meeting room where the Devil Gang boss was resting, distributed the materials, cleared his throat, and said:
"Cyber's genes have super self-healing gene fragments, and it stands to reason that this level of internal burns will kill him, but the problem is that this self-healing is currently blocked by a special substance. ”
Strange seemed to be a doctor again, and said to the bigwigs who were looking at him: "But when I put the musculature from Cyber back in a test dish that simulated the human environment, it was super active again." ”
He looked around and saw the blank looks on the faces of those guys, and he accentuated his voice,
"I'll put it another way you can understand, Cyber is poisoned, the toxin is escaping in his blood, and it is reproducing in a special way, and his special ability from mutants is fighting against this toxin, but obviously, this confrontation is a stalemate, and it is difficult to win this battle on his own, so the advice I can give you is... Find this toxin and cultivate the corresponding antibodies, so that he can recover quickly. ”
The test report in Catherine's hand was clenched tightly by her, and she looked up at Strange and whispered:
"Then if you use magic..."
"That's the weirdest part. ”
Strange wiped his chin with a puzzled expression: "I used time magic on Cyber, it stands to reason that it was enough to restore his body to its healthiest time, but the magic failed, and there is a mysterious power affecting the effect of magic, in fact, not only time magic, but even healing magic and black magic I have tried, but all of them have not worked." ”
Strange spread his hands, and there was a hint of helplessness on his face:
"This is probably the first guy I've ever met who is fully magically immune, but it's not lucky, hurry up, little Catherine, if you don't want your brother to stay in this terrible state all the time, you'll have to find that toxin as quickly as possible, and if you need anything, I'll do my best to help you." ”
"Bang"
Before he could finish speaking, the door to the conference room was rudely pushed open, and a beautiful girl with burgundy glasses walked in quickly, waving a piece of paper in her hand and placing it in front of Catherine.
"Found it! All the news about the Purple Man and the Winter Soldier is here!"
Catherine picked up the dense papers, and felt dizzy when she looked at them, Strange took them, swept them, and then looked at the glasses lady in front of her who was constantly rubbing her forehead in surprise:
"Where did you find this stuff? I don't think you can find this top-secret information directly from Google. ”
"I copied it directly from the S.H.I.E.L.D. database. ”
Felicity looked in the direction of the Seb ward with some concern, her pale blonde hair flicked, "Cyber didn't pay $20 a week to invite me just to make me wear a maid's outfit... Is he okay?"
The Glasses Lady turned her head to look at Catherine, a room where their immediate heir, Catherine Anne Hawke, had become the nominal Supreme Commander in the absence of Cyber and Robin, and everyone, including veterans like Lewis and Cooper, who had rushed back to Gotham, were all looking at Catherine, waiting for the heir to be chosen by Cyber in high hopes.
Catherine's mental state is very bad these days, the little naughty escape, Dorothy's death, everything is enough to break a girl's mind, but at this time, looking at everyone's eyes, she found that after Cyber and Robin disappeared, she really felt this pressure from the collective, she very much wanted to take all the fighters of the Devil Gang to New York, but she didn't know who to go to New York to seek revenge.
This is the most aggrieved thing! I don't even know who to draw my sword to stab for revenge...
She was in pain, the mixture of individual and collective pain, and she wanted to rush out of the room and cry in the arms of the man who could shelter her, but that person had already collapsed in the hospital room.
"Whew..."
Catherine took a deep breath, she stood up like Cyber, propped her hands on the table, and looked around,
"I'd love to take you to your opponent and give them a knife and chop off their claws, but we can't! We don't even know who the opponent is!"
"Cyber once told me that we can't act rashly when we don't know the strength of the opponent, and now we have seen that the opponent is rushing towards us, they have already played a conspiracy, and we can't give them a second chance, so in the next period of time, I will use all my resources to heal Cyber and gather all my strength back to protect our base camp, do you have any questions about this matter?"
"Nope!"
Lewis was the first to speak, and the others agreed, and this attitude calmed Catherine's heart a little, and she sniffled, thinking about the tragic situation of Cyber, she gritted her teeth, and made a second opinion:
"I know that Cyber went to meet with the damn Magneto before the accident, that old man is not easy to deal with, in the face of the mutant brotherhood, we are now not strong enough at the middle level, in addition to speeding up the speed of the contract demons, I also want to gather some reliable, but homeless mutants, to fill the power of the Devil Gang... Cyber, Cyber had said he wouldn't be involved in the coming storm, but now..."
The little girl pursed her lips, she looked at the people in front of her,
"We're already involved, we have no way out!
"But the loyalty of those people..."
The scheming Lewis stroked his beard and said to Catherine, "At this point, we may not be able to guarantee the loyalty of those guys, and if we recruit some sneaky guys, it will end badly." ”
"We have a way to deal with this!"
Catherine looked at the core members of the Devil's Gang in front of her, and she said loudly: "Get Shauna, who is still studying in London, and then go to Texas to invite Mr. Johnny to come to Gotham to help, and we will check the soul of everyone who wants to join the Devil's Gang, so that nothing goes wrong!"
"I'll add one last thing!"
Strange, speaking as an observer of the meeting, looked at the others: "At this time, you have to hide the news of Cyber's dying and create the illusion that he is safe, you understand why you are doing this, right?"
Everyone nodded, they weren't stupid to sit here, they naturally knew what to do.
After the meeting, outside Cyber's hospital room, Catherine took Felicity's hand and whispered to her,
"Goblin, can you find the stronghold of those who murdered Cyber?"
Felicity looked at Cyber, who was lying there silently, her whole body burned, and there was a hint of gloom in her beautiful eyes, and she whispered,
"It's difficult, they seem to be soldiers of a large organization, and there is no valuable news on the scene, but if I can hack into the database of the highest level of S.H.I.E.L.D., I should be able to find some clues, there is still some information about the purple people that is blocked, I can't see it, and..."
Her brow furrowed, and she glared at Catherine,
"Don't call me that nasty nickname, I'm not a goblin. ”
"But you're seducing Cyber, I can see it!, you charming little Bichi who sneaked into his room in the middle of the night in a maid outfit, but if I can really save him, I don't mind sending you to my brother's bed by hand, he already has two bedmates anyway. ”
Catherine shook her hand indifferently, and she frowned: "Also, didn't you say that there is no database in this world that can stump you?"
"But that top-level database is physically encrypted, and without the corresponding key, I can't connect to their private network. ”
Felicity's face turned red, she spread her hands a little unnaturally, and said helplessly: "I can't help it in the face of this situation." ”
Catherine's little face wrinkled, and she grabbed her chin and asked:
"Is the clearance of a Level 7 agent sufficient?"
"Not enough!"
Felichetti pushed his glasses: "You need at least a level 8 agent to have that top-of-the-line key accessory in your hand." ”
"Okay, leave it to me, we'll be in New York in 2 hours, by the way, help me find two people... I have a not-so-mature plan, and if all goes well, we'll probably find a way to save Cyber soon. ”
Catherine looked left and right and lowered her voice: "But this time we will travel secretly, I will find someone trustworthy to go with." ”
"Oh? Sounds interesting. ”
A flirtatious voice sounded in the corner of the wall beside Catherine, and the little girl turned her head sharply, 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, and there was a hint of murder on her face:
"Who are you, and why are you here?"
Erica shrugged, ignoring Catherine's hostility, and she looked through the window at Cyber lying on the hospital bed, and she whispered:
"I'm one of your brother's bedmates, little girl, and I don't want to see my bedbuddies look like this, so if you have a way to restore him, you'd better be well-designed, and I'm not a stranger..."
When the words landed, her figure turned into black smoke and disappeared in place, and when she reappeared, she was already attached to Felicity's back, and her hands touched the chest of the startled glasses lady, and rubbed it vigorously, causing Felicity to let out a scream of shame, and she turned her head to look at Catherine:
"I've been protecting you for 10 days, you little girl. ”
Catherine put down the hilt of the knife in her hand, she took a deep breath, stretched out her left hand, put it in front of the eyes of the two girls, and she whispered:
"Well... But honestly, I don't believe you, but now that the plan is done, we should also take action, and if you say you can be trusted, then prove it to me in action!"
"If you can't prove it, I'll kill you with my own hands!"
Erica's expression was ugly, and she whispered, "So, are the people of the Christian family so difficult to deal with?"
The little girl glanced at her indifferently:
"It's just a tradition of the Christian family, and it's only through blood that you can bring loyalty to each other. ”
