Hoo-ha-huh-ha-ha-

The endless darkness is like viscous ink, and every subtle movement of itself becomes more and more laborious, and the surrounding black fog seems to come to life, and in the darkness, it seems that something is slowly squirming.

Gasping for breath, the blonde man opened his eyes with difficulty, and he only felt a burning sensation in his throat, like a broken bellows, and every breath made a rotten harsh sound.

In the darkness, a shadow twisted the body into substance, and an eerie aura permeated the air.

"You're awake"

The light and shadow covered in countless shadows made a sound, but the sound was like a high-frequency vibration, playing an eerie frequency, like the murmur of an unknown creature.

The blonde man closed his eyes, and he couldn't help but feel a trace of fear in his heart, but in an instant, this fear was overshadowed by doubt.

Listening to the suppressed and restless voices around him, the man only felt confused and uneasy.

As his mind cleared up and his brain slowly regained control of his body, the blonde man noticed that at some point, the sounds around him began to quiet down, and finally became a dead silence.

When he opened his eyes again, the brilliant light and shadow seemed to be distorted by some invisible force, returning to his original position, the boundless darkness and shadows were dispelled, and all the vague scenes were gradually becoming clearer.

"Are you awake?"

The voice resounded, causing the blonde man's body to tremble.

When he came back to his senses, he realized that the owner of this voice was a middle-aged man with a strange pendant on his chest and a red cloak on his back.

"Stephen?!"

The sentry opened his mouth wide and looked at the man in front of him in disbelief.

"Well, it looks like this blonde gentleman from afar knows me," Doctor Strange smiled lightly, then turned his head and said. "I'll just say he's not an enemy, punisher, you can put down the axe in your hand first."

"Whether he is an enemy or not is not something to tell from whether he recognizes you or not." The Punisher said coldly.

"Wait, no, what the hell is going on"

The sentry struggled to sit up, and looking around, he realized that he was actually in the Supreme Sanctuary, although it was very different from the Supreme Holy World in his impression, but he knew that he was indeed in the Supreme Sanctuary at this moment.

Curiously looking at the somewhat raunchy Doctor Strange in front of him, and the Punisher who was wary of him, the Sentinel frowned deeply, he hadn't yet reacted to what was going on.

Suddenly, something came to the sentinel's mind, and he jerked into his hands, but to his disbelief, they were so white and shiny.

"How is this possible?"

"I guess you need this."

Doctor Strange took a bronze mirror from his bosom and handed it to the sentry with a kind face.

Taking the mirror, the sentry silently looked at himself in the mirror, who was no different from before, and unlike his impression, his pale pupils were gone, and his hideous bloodthirsty teeth had returned to their original appearance.

"Me, I've changed back?" The sentry touched his face tremblingly, and although he looked calm on the surface, he didn't know how turbulent he was at the moment.

"To be exact, you're cured." Doctor Strange explained. "I've been exposed to a lot of viruses from other dimensions, and I have to say that I'm shocked by this."

"No, it can't be, how is this possible?!" The Sentinel looked at Doctor Strange in surprise, his lips trembling.

Of course, he knew that the Doctor Strange in front of him was not the Stephen Strange he remembered, because in his world, Doctor Strange had already been personally handed. I ate it with my own mouth.

"Don't get excited, sir."

Doctor Strange waved his hand, and the teapot automatically levitated, pouring three cups of tea.

"I know you have a lot of questions right now, and we have a lot of questions about you, like why did that wizard send you to this place?"

"This place, what is this place?" The sentry asked, confused.

Doctor Strange and the Punisher looked at each other, both sighing slightly, and then Doctor Strange shifted his gaze back to the Sentinel, and smiled bitterly.

"This is a real hell, sir."

If you want to completely convince others of yourself, then the first thing to do is to trust others, which is very useful for Doctor Strange, and there is nothing worth losing anyway.

Compared to this guy infected with the inexplicable zombie virus, Doctor Strange considers himself lucky, and he is also full of curiosity about the outside world.

And so, we had to be sealed here, in fact we were locked up here, and it was like a prison, but the seal sounded a little more acceptable."

Doctor Strange sat across from the sentry, calmly recounting what had happened here, and now that he had grown accustomed to life here.

"So, this universe is a product of spiritual pollution, a world that is about to be destroyed?" The sentinel frowned thoughtfully, as if he understood something.

"You can understand it this way, at the beginning there was a feeling of chaos in the world, when a lot of people died, and under the influence of pollution, a lot of incredible monsters were born here.

Since the natural cycle here has been completely unbalanced, the dead people cannot be calmed, and slowly, they begin to mutate, merge, and transform into monsters as if they have awakened from a nightmare. ”

As he spoke, Doctor Strange gestured to the sentinel. "Of course, you've already dealt with those guys, but I don't know if it's to your liking."

"Ahem." The sentry was a little embarrassed.

Without dwelling too much on the topic, Doctor Strange continued with a smile.

"Later, the remnants began to re-establish a new civilization, building all sorts of gathering points, city-states, and then descending into endless madness under the pollution of the deranged spirit.

In fact, life here is not bad, at least here, we don't have to worry about birth, old age, sickness and death, no life will be born here, and no life will die at the same time. ”

"Then why are you still sane, I thought you would be part of killing each other." The Sentinel also recalled some of his memories of coming here.

He was slaughtering and devouring all the flesh he could see, and all the life here was attacking him one after another.

Those weird deformed monsters, weird creatures composed of countless severed limbs, left a lot of psychological shadows on him.

"There's always a way to circumvent pollution, as long as you can find a pattern." Doctor Strange smiled. "I don't know if you've heard of Franklin."

"Mr. Fantastic's child?" The sentry thought for a moment and replied.

"Yes, that kid has a lot of talent, and he can even reshape the universe with his own mind if he wants to, but sadly, he was still stabbed to death by Deadpool for such a powerful being." Doctor Strange shrugged his shoulders.

"You mean that pollution will subtly affect people's reason and cognition, and those invisible forces will 'force' explain what is happening in reality through some kind of logic?"

"You see, it's not that hard to deduce the truth, is it? This is a higher level of spiritual radiation, which reflects the side of what we think and see of the higher dimensional beings that we have not been able to touch, which is what is happening here. ”

Doctor Strange took a sip of tea and said flatly.

"So in a sense, people who are caught up in pollution are basically a bunch of walking dead, doing mechanical work every day, killing everything in front of them.

Forget that, let's talk about you, I'm quite curious about you. ”

"Me?" The sentry was slightly stunned.

"yes, you, an emerging, magical, spooky superhero"

Doctor Strange crossed his arms and said in a deep voice.

"That wizard won't send you here for no reason, even if it's a zombie virus on your body, I believe that with his ability, it is impossible not to find a solution, so, what is the reason?"

Hearing Doctor Strange's question, the Sentinel fell into deep thought, he had never known what he had been going through, only that his mind was being driven by some kind of desire.

Originally, he thought that those desires were brought about by the zombie virus, a bloodthirsty obsession with devouring flesh and blood, but now, after learning about the experience of this universe, he began to think about other possibilities.

"I, I'm not sure." The sentry bowed his head in frustration.

Suddenly, a strange energy permeated.

Doctor Strange and the Sentinel, who are extremely sensitive to special energy, reacted immediately, and the two of them jerked their heads up and looked around vigilantly.

This is an invasion from the outside world, an oppression from the spiritual realm.

The flame candles of the Supreme Sanctuary began to leap violently, and in an instant they were dyed a dark green.

Feeling the familiar and unfamiliar uneasiness, even the Punisher could not sit still, and the three of them stood up almost at the same time, and looked at the door of the hall of the Supreme Sanctuary in unison.

There, a scarlet portal was slowly rising, eventually forming a rectangular barrier, and no one knew what kind of terrifying creature was on the other side of the door.

Through the illusory barrier, the sentinel even seemed to see some kind of indescribable shadow twisting his body.

Finally, a black leather shoe poked out.

Slowly, the other party's entire body emerged from the portal and appeared in the field of vision of the three of them.

Looking at the man in the black trench coat, the Punisher's eyelids jumped, and he was the first to break the silence.

"It's you!"
