Dr. Cornell's voice woke Zhou Ran.
Zhou Ran slowly opened his eyes, he felt that his head was a little dizzy, and there was an indescribable feeling of exhaustion, he stretched out his hands and rubbed his temples, and asked Dr. Cornell, "Dr. Cornell, how was this conversation?" β
Hearing this, Dr. Cornell reached out and pushed his glasses, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he slowly spoke, "Jake, after talking to Mr. Clark, I think he is a harmless personality, a very charismatic personality, a great personality. β
"Based on my years of medical experience, I don't think he will have a bad influence on you and will not hurt you."
"You can take a look at the conversation between me and Mr. Clark in this camera."
With that, Dr. Cornell smiled and handed over the camera in his hand.
Zhou Ran took the camera, took a deep breath, pressed the play button, and watched it very seriously.
"Hello, Mr. Clark, my name is Cornell and I am a doctor. It's nice to meet you for the first time, can you tell us your story? Mr. Clark, don't be nervous, I have no ill will towards you, I'm here to make it easier for you and Jake. β
"Okay, Dr. Cornell, I'll tell my story well, and I'll cooperate with you. My name is Clark Kent, in fact, I am not an earthling, I am from a planet in the universe, that planet is called Krypton, which is my hometown, and my real identity is an alien, Kryptonian. β

"It's time for our conversation to be over, I'm about to wake up Jake, is there anything Mr. Clark would like to say to him?"
Hei Chao smiled, gently stroked the S symbol on his chest with his hand, and said in a very gentle tone: "Superman's strength is the power of hope, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility!" β
After Zhou Ran watched the video, he was silent for a moment, looked at Dr. Cornell, smiled bitterly, and said, "Alas, Clark said that I am great, but in fact I am not great at all." Clarke: He was thinking of me with all his heart, but I was still worried about his existence. β
"Dr. Cornell, do you think I'm really going to be Superman? Am I really going to be a real hero? β
After hearing this, Dr. Cornell smiled and said, "Jake, it's up to your heart, what you really want, or what kind of hero do you think the hero is?" β
"You must know that everyone's definition of a hero is different, in fact, Jake, heroes are not so difficult for you, and now many people in New York have regarded you as an idol, as a hero who breaks the shackles of fate."
"The fact that you can go from an ordinary person to what you are today through hard work is not only like the American Dream, but it is actually a very valuable heroic spirit in itself."
After hearing this, Zhou Ran nodded, and said: "Doctor Cornell, through your enlightenment, I may understand how to become a hero and let me sacrifice, I don't have this extremely high consciousness yet, but I do have a dream that I have always wanted to achieve." β
"What dreams?" Dr. Cornell asked curiously, blinking.
Zhou Ran took a deep breath and said slowly: "I want to change the city of New York, this city looks glamorous, but in fact it is outrageously black inside, I want to erase this blackness and make this place a real light." β
After hearing this, Dr. Cornell shook his head, laughed, and said, "Jake, this dream of yours has made me discover another side of you, I didn't expect you to still retain the innocence of a child in your heart, you should know that this world is never black and white, there is black, there is white, there is gray between black and white, and there are other colorful ......"
"It's a very difficult thing to get rid of the rest of the color, and only a single white, or it's simply an unattainable thing, but I have to say, it's a hero's path, and if you really do it, Jake, I'm sure you'll be able to understand the world better."
"This is also a way to understand the world, to know its white, to keep its black, for the world's style."
"Know the world?" Zhou Ran frowned and muttered a little incomprehensibly.
Dr. Cornell pushed his glasses, let out a long sigh, and said earnestly, "Jake, you know what? There are two most important things in human life, the first is to know oneself, and the second is to know the world. Everything we do in this life revolves around these two things. β
Hearing this, Zhou Ran nodded thoughtfully, and said: "Not only to know yourself and the world, but also to know what kind of impact you can have on the world, this is the so-called three views, outlook on life, world view, and values." β
After hearing this, Dr. Cornell snapped his fingers with a smile and said, "It can be understood in this way, among the three views, as long as you can understand one, then it will not be in vain to live once, I like to know the world very much." β
Zhou Ran smiled and asked, "Dr. Cornell, what do you think the world is like?" What does the world look like for you? β
Dr. Connell was silent for a moment, then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he slowly spoke, "What is the world like?" Philosophically speaking, it is reasonable to exist, and it is reasonable to not exist...... My perception of the world is a bit too unbelievable, Jake, don't listen to it. β
"It's going to affect you, everybody has everybody's thinking, don't let my thinking affect you, do what you think is right and keep trying to do it, that's enough, isn't it?"
After hearing this, Zhou Ran was silent for a moment, then sighed and smiled: "Doctor Cornell, thank you, thank you for your teaching, I seem to understand a little." β
"Got it? Alright, Jake, it's time to prescribe you a prescription......" Dr. Cornell nodded slightly, tore off a page of his notebook, and picked up the pen to write.
After writing it, Dr. Cornell folded the piece of paper, handed it to Zhou Ran, and said with a smile: "Jake, this is a prescription for you, don't read it now, read it at night." By the way, Jake, I also want to warn you, if you look at it now, the medicine won't work. β
Zhou Ran took the folded prescription, raised his eyebrows, and asked very curiously, "Doctor Cornell, what kind of prescription is this?" Really? Why is it so mysterious? β
Dr. Cornell stretched and said lazily, "Of course it's true, Jake, we're old friends, we're old acquaintances, how could I lie to you?" β
"I, Cornell, have always been honest and trustworthy, and I have never deceived people."
Hearing this, Zhou Ran put the prescription in his pocket, smiled, and said, "Okay, Dr. Cornell, you have aroused my curiosity, it is really a pleasure to chat with you, I should go, there is still something to do." β
"Dr. Cornell, look forward to seeing you next time."
Dr. Cornell nodded and said, "Jake, I'm looking forward to seeing you next time." β
A smile appeared on the corner of Zhou Ran's mouth, and he turned to leave.
Dr. Cornell looked at Zhou Ran's departing back, slowly got up, and walked to the window, he silently checked the number in his heart, and when he found 79, Zhou Ran's figure reappeared in his sight.
Dr. Cornell took off his glasses, put his finger on his eyes, and slammed them, leaving two black holes in his sockets, which had always been fake.
Dr. Cornell let out a long sigh and said slowly, "The world as I see it?" It should be black, a very rich black...... This is a world that shouldn't exist, this is a false world......"
"Kryptonite? Hahaha, where is there any kryptonite? That stupid guy actually believed it. β
"Tut-tut, Mr. Clown, I'm kind of a fan of your game of playing with other people, it's really a great pleasure. Did you know, Mr. Joker? I'm really jealous of you! β
"Every word you say will affect people, just hearing your name, it will make people feel scared. As long as you are added to anything, it will make it impossible to distinguish between the real and the fake. Admittedly, we are good friends, but unlike you, I have no weaknesses. And you have a huge weakness, you have a huge flaw......"
"The real game is about to begin......
Dr. Cornell put a crazy smile on his face, put the eyeball in his palm back into his socket, twisted his neck fiercely, and said in an extremely crazy tone.
β¦β¦
Cornell Presbyterian Hospital.
Portal.
Zhou Ran's right hand was put in his pocket, and he kept holding the prescription prescribed by Dr. Cornell, he wanted to know what was written on the prescription, but thinking about Dr. Cornell's words, he forcibly endured it.
This very tangled emotion made Zhou Ran a little absent-minded.
This prescription is like Pandora's box in Greek mythology, it is extremely tempting, very curious, and wants to be opened immediately.
"Oh, sir, will you be careful the next time you walk? You're like a headless fly running around, and if you hit me, forget it, there's a lot of traffic in front of you, and you're likely to get hurt. β
"Oh shit, why should I remind, if not, St. Francis Hospital will have one more patient, and I will have one more patient."
A very frivolous and arrogant voice came into Zhou Ran's ears.
Zhou Ran looked sideways, the man in front of him was wearing an expensive suit, wearing an expensive watch, very tall, a little long face, very deep eyes, a head of curly hair, the most attractive thing is his hands, a pair of white and slender hands, there is a thin layer of cocoons on the thumb and index finger, this is a pair of hands that have held a scalpel for a long time.
Zhou Ran already knew the identity of the man, Doctor Strange Stephen Strange, a well-known surgeon in New York and a future Supreme Mage.
Zhou Ran coughed lightly and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Strange, I've been thinking about things just now, and I'm sorry to bump into you." β
Strange raised an eyebrow and said, "Oh, you know me?" I didn't expect my reputation to be so loud! Wait a minute, sir, you look familiar, where do I seem to have seen you? β
Zhou Ran smiled and said, "I work for Stark Industries Group......
Strange heard this, thought for a moment, blinked his eyes, and asked, "Are you Jake?" β
Zhou Ran nodded and said, "That's right, I'm Jake, Mr. Strange, I have to ask you for this time, I have a friend who has been seriously injured and needs your help." β
After hearing this, Strange smiled and said, "Originally, I came to treat Dr. Cornell in the face of Dr. Cornell, and I didn't plan to ask for the operation fee, but now?" Mr. Jake, how much money are you going to pay to treat your friend? β
A smile appeared on the corner of Zhou Ran's mouth, and he said, "I don't have any money, but I can give you a supercar." What about this condition? β
Hearing this, Strange smiled with satisfaction, gave Zhou Ran a thumbs up, and exclaimed: "Mr. Jake is really refreshing, I just happened to miss a supercar." Please rest assured, I will definitely save this friend of yours, and as long as he still has a breath, even if he walks into hell with half a foot, I will drag him out. β
Strange paused, raised his hand, and smiled very confidently, "These hands of mine often snatch people from Satan's hands. That's why I bought the most expensive insurance in the world for these hands. β
Hearing this, Zhou Ran nodded, and praised: "Mr. Strange is the most powerful expert in the field of surgery, and I have always admired doctors, especially experts like you. We can exchange contact details, and there may be another surgery waiting for you in two days, and it's a super super difficult surgery. β
After that, Zhou Ran took out his mobile phone and shook it gently.
Seeing this, Strange also took out his mobile phone, and the two exchanged contact information.
Strange raised his eyebrows, his eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "The current surgery doesn't stimulate me at all, I long for the kind of surgery that is really challenging, that kind of surgery can not only improve my medical skills, but most importantly, make me feel happy, in the true sense of the word." β
Zhou Ran smiled and said softly: "The difficulty is super high, very challenging, if it can be successful, it will be a miracle in the history of human medicine, and the probability of success is about 0." β
When Strange heard this, he was immediately interested, and his eyes were very eager, like looking at a girl who had stripped naked, full of greed.
Strange's face flushed, his heart beating wildly, he clenched his hands as if he was holding a scalpel, his tone was full of longing, and said, "Mr. Jake, let's go and finish that operation now!" I really want to see this kind of surgery with a probability of 0 success, and I don't believe that there is a surgery in the world with a probability of 0 success. β
Zhou Ran shook his head and said, "I still need to wait for a while, I need to get the patient's consent first, Mr. Strange still completes the current operation first, this operation is also very difficult, this is also to prove your strength." β
Strange nodded lightly and said with great confidence: "Don't worry, Mr. Jake, I will definitely win this supercar." β
