Chapter 143: Last Hope
"Stephen, you're drinking again?" Christine said in a serious tone.
"Otherwise, what can I do, I've tried everything. But my hands didn't get better at all. Stephen Strange said loudly.
Rorschach saw that Stephen Strange's hands were shaking constantly, but slightly, enough to prevent him from having surgery.
"Or maybe it's time for you to think about giving up." Christine advised Stephen.
"No, now is definitely not the time to give up. You see, my hands haven't been getting any better all this time! Stephen said loudly.
I knew there was a new technology in Tokyo that could grow upgraded donor stem cells and then print the chromosomal skeleton in 3D...... But I need money, just 200,000. ”
Christine interrupted him and said, "Stephen, you always spend as much as you make, and you can't come up with that much money right now. Can't you give up, your life is not just your career. ”
"For example? Do you mean you? You came here like this, you look like an old friend who asked me to dinner, we are not friends, we are not lovers, you are just taking pity on me. You see so many tragedies in the emergency room, so you like to watch tragedies, like the way I am now. Then you comfort yourself and feel as noble as a savior. ”
Stephen taunted Christine with such vicious words as if he was venting, as if he wanted to get rid of his only friend now.
"I see what you mean, it's something you asked me to help you find, goodbye, Stephen." Christine tossed a bag of papers in front of Stephen, then turned around and walked away without hesitation.
And Stephen didn't keep it in the end, just picked up the file bag and couldn't wait to open it.
Rorschach zoomed in and saw what was inside.
This is a medical record, the patient is named Jonathan Pembourne, the spine has been very badly injured, and according to what is shown, it should be paralyzed for life, only the head can move.
But the back of the information shows that this Jonathan Pembourne was miraculously cured.
Obviously, Stephen wanted to find this Jonathan Pembourne, hoping that he would be able to obtain this miracle himself.
However, as a famous doctor, he has lost faith in modern medical methods and is pinning on miracles, and it seems that his emotions are on the verge of collapse.
"It's kind of interesting, no wonder this Dr. Strange wants the recipe for the cure. It seems that the last time he was injured at a party, the healing potion did not seem to completely heal his injury, but left the sequelae. Rorschach finally understood what had happened.
As a famous surgeon, if he could not continue to operate, his life would be ruined. It took half a lifetime to train the skills that you rely on to survive, and suddenly being lost, can indeed ruin a person.
This matter has something to do with Rorschach, and Rorschach naturally will not sit idly by. Instead, Rorschach dialed Dr. Strange directly.
The phone rang, and Stephen answered the phone and said, "Hey, who is it?" ”
"Hello, Dr. Strange, I'm Rorschach. I've heard that you'd like to get the recipe for a cure, and I thought we could talk about it. Rorschach said.
"Really? When? Stephen's expression of surprise was palpable, and Rorschach saw it clearly.
In Stephen's opinion, a large part of the symptoms of his hands are due to healing potions. But when he wanted to ask about the formula of the potion and find a solution, Tony refused without hesitation. In despair, hope is pinned on miracles.
"You should be in a hurry, so it's better to leave it now. I'm waiting for you at Tindersource in Queens, and you can come and see me directly. Rorschach said.
Stephen was indeed in a hurry, and almost rushed to the Tinder Source Company as fast as he could.
When Rorschach saw him, he couldn't help but frown. Through the monitoring of the mechanical beetle, he can only see the image and hear the sound, but he can't smell the unpleasant smell of Stephen's body.
It's a mixture of alcohol and sweat and dirt, and it's a bit unbearable.
"Mr. Rorschach, can you give me the recipe for the healing potion?" As soon as Stephen saw Rorschach, he asked excitedly.
"Dr. Strange, even if I give you the formula, in your current state, do you still have the spirit to study it?" Rorschach asked.
Stephen said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, I feel like my world is going to fall apart these days." ”
"There is a reception lounge for guests in the company, so you might as well take a shower and have a good rest. When you've recuperated your spirits, let's talk about healing potions. Rorschach said.
Although Stephen was eager to devote himself to the research of the cure potion now, he also knew that his sloppy appearance was really unpleasant, so he could only agree to Rorschach's suggestion.
Dressed in bionic skin, Belcher changed from a robot form to a polite white man and took Stephen to the reception room.
Rorschach took advantage of this opportunity to instruct Violet again: "Investigate this Jonathan Pemborn for me again, I am also interested in his miracles." ”
In the Marvel world, miracles are often related to aliens or superpowers, and Rorschach knows that he has not watched all the films and television works of the Marvel world, and it is easy to ignore the important plots of this world.
Previously, due to the hardware configuration of S.H.I.E.L.D., Violet could not monitor the overall situation.
But with Sarah's appearance, tens of thousands of mechanical beetles have become violet's eyes and ears, and it is completely possible to monitor the whole of New York, and even the whole of the United States.
With such a powerful ability, Rorschach naturally won't waste it. Therefore, once he encounters any strange phenomenon, Rorschach feels more at ease to let Violet investigate.
Stephen calmed down, took a good bath, and changed into new clothes, before being taken by Rorschach to the research and development laboratory of the healing potion.
After a brief introduction to Dr. Banner Connors, Rorschach said to Stephen, "Dr. Strange, I sympathize with what happened to you, but I believe you understand the importance of this potion. I can allow you to participate in the R&D project and consult the relevant information. But you must sign a confidentiality agreement, and all your achievement patents belong to Tinder. ”
For this condition, Stephen agreed without hesitation. It was his last hope, and he had nothing left to lose.
The agreement was very simple, and an almost harsh deed of sale made the famous doctor an employee of Tinder.
And when Stephen read all the information about the cure, he excitedly said to Banner and Connors, "Sure enough, I already had a guess before. It's not that nerve cells heal too fast that causes the sequelae, it's emotions! The ingredients of this potion can affect the mood of the injector! ”
