American comics: Enlightenment in Arkham, Ascension to Homelander.

Chapter 443: Bullshit Upgrade
Until Strange walked into the elevator, the word "mage" was written all over his mind.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got, so Strange swung his foot and gently kicked the elevator door.

"They actually call a doctor who specializes in medicine a wizard. Do they think I'm one of those guys from the Middle Ages who only knows how to bleed?

If I had known Tony Stark was so rude, I wouldn't have made the two million!

Damn it, it’s just two million, why the hell should I come to a place like this for treatment?

Damn the capitalists, damn Iron Man!
Mage? Mage! Damn Mage!!!"

Ding~
The sound of the elevator arriving reached Strange's ears, and Strange, feeling indignant, let out a heavy breath.

Then, he rubbed his face, and the unhappiness on his face disappeared instantly, replaced by a gentle smile.

A moment later, his smile widened as he saw a suit of mechas walking towards him.

"Hello, Mr. Stark, or should I call you Iron Man since you're wearing a suit?"

"I'm Jarvis, Mr. Strange, please follow me."

Jarvis opened the visor and showed Strange the empty interior.

Facing the void of the helmet, Strange swallowed hard.

These two million are really not easy to earn!

In other words, it’s not easy to make money from rich people!
After trying hard to suppress the palpitations in his heart, Strange took a deep breath and nodded to Jarvis.

“Okay, Jarvis, we…we can get started.

Stark Group should have a full set of medical equipment, right? Can I take a look at his medical records?"

“Mr. Strange, please follow me, the patient is resting in the laboratory.

But I must tell you in advance that everything you see next must be kept secret.

Today's patient is special. He has no medical records, but the laboratory has all the instruments you can use.

According to Mr. Tang's order, you only have the right to observe for the time being, not the right to deal with it, but if something unexpected happens next, you can make full use of your knowledge and ability, sir."

After Jarvis said this, he took Strange to the laboratory.

Following Jarvis closely, Strange was a little nervous, so he spoke to Jarvis carefully.

“OK, I know the rules and won’t do anything unnecessary.

But can you guarantee that I am safe? After all, when the word "laboratory" is associated with secrets, it always evokes a dangerous association."

"This……"

Listening to Strange's questioning, Jarvis thought hard.

Although his brain has reached human level, he has not progressed to the point of understanding the ways of the world, nor has he evolved to the point of being able to tell white lies.

As long as Strange asked, Jarvis would definitely tell the truth.

So Jarvis carefully referred to the situation at Downton, and then said to Strange.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Strange, I can’t stop any of Mr. Tang’s actions, and I can’t guarantee what he will do in the next second.

All I know is that Mr. Tang is indeed a dangerous man, and the number of humans who have died at his hands is almost more than the number of ants that each child has ever killed.

So, please be sure to follow the rules and don't do anything that might anger Mr. Tang.

If Mr. Tang is dissatisfied with you, I will not have any power to stop him. "

After he finished speaking, Jarvis continued walking forward as if nothing had happened, while Strange suddenly stopped in his tracks.

"Ah yo Corey thief?"

Strange is going crazy, are you damn sure you're talking human language?

What's the point of killing more people than killing ants? Am I not from Iron Man's company?
Isn't this a fucking superhero territory?
So what Captain America and Iron Man say on TV are all fake?
So New York was never recaptured, but simply became a hub and stronghold of crime?
So is it too late for me to leave now?

Thinking of this, Strange stopped with all his strength, then mustered up the courage to speak.

"Well, Jarvis, there's something a little bit..."

"Wow, look who this is, isn't this the famous Master Strange?

I am Donton, man, don’t you recognize me now?
But it doesn't matter, I just fucking know you, come on, let's drink together~"

Before Strange could finish his words, Downton had already pushed open the door of the laboratory and walked towards Strange from a distance.

Looking at Downton getting closer, Strange stopped talking and asked Jarvis in a low voice.

"Who is this……?"

"This is Donton, Mr. Don."

"Ah? Oh...it turned out to be him..."

Strange suddenly realized because he really knew Downton.

There are really a lot of videos of Downton on the Internet. After all, he has extraordinary strength and charm.

Just by looking at Downton's face on TV, 80 percent of the girls in the United States have already mentally assessed their charm and rolled the dice with a big failure.

Given Downton's current popularity, how could Strange not know him?

After all, apart from rotating on the operating table every day, Strange spends the rest of his time chatting with the young nurses around him.

And those nurses...are often fans of Downton and Thor.

So even if Strange was not familiar with Downton, he had to feel familiar with him.

and.

After seeing clearly that it was Downton, Strange felt that Jarvis was making a big deal out of nothing.

After all, he knew that Downton was a superhero, and even if a superhero had a bad personality, he would not kill people indiscriminately.

The videos of Downton that can be circulated on the Internet basically do not contain too many restricted scenes, so Strange now has no chance to see Downton's true nature.

Just knowing the information about Downton on the Internet, he suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, and even dared to argue with Downton!
He pondered for a moment, then smiled at Donton and said.

“So it’s you, Mr. Donton. The instrument nurses in my medical team like your videos very much. They are all your fans, and so am I.

After all, you know, Iron Man is just rich and a little smart.

If another rich and smart person is willing to step up, Iron Man won't be the only one.

But you are different, your strength is one of the miracles, we men all like to be unique, don't we? "

"Haha, yeah, yeah, you're pretty damn good at talking, no wonder you can make so much money with your medical skills."

Downton patted Strange's shoulder with a smile, and then dragged Strange into the laboratory.

As he followed Downton to the observation deck, Strange mustered up the courage to continue speaking to Downton.

"However, Mr. Tang, I am, after all, a highly professional and responsible doctor.

Therefore, it is really irresponsible for you to call me a mage!"

"Ok?"

Hearing this, Downton was slightly stunned, then looked at Strange with amusement.

"Are you sure you can take responsibility for what you said, little brother?"

He asked Strange mischievously, earning him a strange look. "Of course I can be responsible for what I said. As a doctor who saves lives and heals the wounded, I am proud of my profession. How could I give up science and turn to those messed up... magic and theology!"

Strange's words were particularly firm because he was such a staunch scientist.

Even those messed up superheroes in the world are products of science in his eyes.

Just as Captain America emerged from the Super Soldier Potion, the Hulk originated from gamma experimental radiation.

Strange firmly believes that science is everything.

At least he is very convinced now.

Looking at Strange's extremely determined expression, Downton curled his lips in noncommittal.

"Well, since you insist, I can't say anything more.

Come with me, let's have a couple of drinks, and you can come here to rest and pick up money.

Today's patient is quite special. Jarvis is desperate and is trying all kinds of treatments.

You don't need to treat patients at all, just stay here for a while, this money is too easy to make, but Tony is richer than raising a child, so we don't need to save money for him, haha!"

Amidst loud laughter, Downton took Strange into the observation center.

Hearing the door open, Lex shifted his gaze from Gwen, who was in great pain on the observation deck, to Strange.

After examining it for a while, he smiled and said.

"It's you, Strange."

"Uh, are you...? Have we met before?"

Just by hearing this, Strange thought Lex was someone he knew.

But after thinking for a long time, he still couldn't figure out who Lex was.

As for whether he felt that Lex was his colleague?

Are you kidding me? Lex is wearing armor!
No matter what, Strange would not think that Lex was a colleague who was stealing his business.

In response to Strange's question, Lex nodded slightly and smiled.

"Hello, Dr. Strange, my name is Alexander Luthor, a scholar."

“Oh… wow!”

Strange was slightly startled, then smiled and shook hands with Lex.

After the two men separated their hands, Strange exchanged greetings.

“Your name sounds familiar, just like the comics I read when I was a kid.

Have you read that comic, the one about Superman's archenemy?"

“Haha, I’ve seen it and I liked it very much.

But Clark doesn’t really like his comics, because he always gets humiliated in them~"

Lex's smile grew even wider, and his words successfully left Strange scratching his head.

Strange just looked at Lex as if he was a fool.

What do you mean you like it but Clark doesn’t? Is there anyone named Clark around you?
Are you guys a group together to cosplay comic characters?

You guys are so good at cosplay, does your mom know?

Why don't you cosplay as Thomas Wayne and Martha Wayne and run up to every person named Bruce and pretend to be shot?
And a necklace of scattered pearls?

You guys are so funny!

While complaining in his mind, Strange looked towards the observation deck dutifully.

When he saw clearly that the person on the stage was a little girl who was not even ten years old, his expression finally became serious!

“This kid… has a severe fever, let me see his data.

Wow, Stark Group's medical equipment is really good, the data items are even more detailed than what I'm used to.

Wait, what the hell, her temperature?!!"

Just taking a look at Gwen's physical report, Strange felt a little scared!
He pointed heavily at the item about body temperature and asked in disbelief.

“Her temperature has reached 47 degrees Celsius and is still rising!
Damn it, this situation is too dangerous, the child is already at risk of brain death, or the chances of her not becoming a vegetable are slim!

In such a serious situation, why not send the patient to the hospital? I can only provide consultation here and can’t do anything else!
What on earth are you doing? Are you experimenting on children?
If so, I can’t do this deal, and I will risk my professional reputation and my life to expose you!!!”

After he finished speaking, Strange looked at Gwen on the observation deck nervously.

Gwen was twitching at this time, her little body was shaking violently, which was really heartbreaking and made anyone who saw it cry.

But just when Strange was about to react to the pressure, Downton found two bottles of wine and gave one to himself and one to Strange.

"Tsk tsk, Strange, you are quite kind-hearted.

But don't worry, everything is still under my control, you don't have to worry about it, just watch the fun."

As he spoke, Downton handed the drinks to Strange.

But how could Strange possibly drink it?

"You'll take charge?"

Strange was seen yelling at Downton in anger.

"That's a child's life, what qualifications do you have to control it?
What the hell did you do to this poor kid?
There will be no such symptoms if you are bitten by a spider. The neurotoxins carried by any kind of spider will not cause such severe damage to the victim's whole body!
This is not a neurotoxin at all, you lied to me, you are using this child for experiments, damn it!"

Strange was getting angrier and angrier as he spoke, and his hair was almost standing on end.

He just smashed the bottle open and rushed to the observation deck.

“This child can’t stay here, he must go to the hospital immediately, luckily the Presbyterian Hospital is very close to here, we can get there in just three to five minutes!

Although I don’t know how this kid managed to hold on, since he could hold on for so long, he can at least hold on for another three to five minutes!
I contacted my medical team on the way, and the child was given emergency treatment immediately after arrival. Maybe there is still a little hope of saving him!

I……"

"That's enough, man. You don't have to add so much drama to yourself~"

Donton interrupted Strange and said, putting his arm around Strange's shoulders.

"I've already said that you're just a witness. There's no need for you to worry so much. Just watch."

"Should……?!!"

Hearing what Downton said, Strange cursed loudly, but before he could finish his curse, he saw Downton suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed forward.

The next moment, a figure wearing a wizard's robe and a red cloak was suddenly grabbed from an inexplicable place, and the moment this figure appeared, he reached out and covered Strange's mouth.

Strange was completely stunned because he knew the person who was suddenly caught!
That was simply...himself!!!

The other him who was caught by Donton, while covering his mouth, turned around and said to Donton helplessly.

"Tang, how did you do it? You actually pulled me...from the timeline like this?

How is it possible that someone could directly pull him from the future timeline to the present?

This is too exaggerated!
Also, how did you know I watch this period regularly?
Is it because I often get thrown into some strange dimension by you because of the curses I hurled at you today?"
