There really was one. He was injured in a work accident and injured his back. He was paralyzed and one of his legs was completely disabled. His shoulder hurt when he sat in a wheelchair. He came for rehabilitation treatment three times a week, but later he stopped coming. Everyone thought he was dead, but a few years later he walked past me on the street!" said the black friend, who gave him an unprecedented hope.
"Walked through?" Stephen Strange felt that his friend was playing a trick on him. How could this word be mixed with paralysis?
Are you kidding me?
Even if this is a joke, it's too big.
"Yes, he has been there!" his friend said very confidently. He had indeed been there and saw it with his own eyes.
"I want to see his record!" Stephen Strange finally found a little hope and spoke.
"You think retrieving medical records is that hard? But if it can shut up a conceited bastard like you, it'll be worth it!"
The black friend complained and said.
Everyone outside the screen realized that a door was opening towards Doctor Strange. Given his current injuries, there was definitely no way on the scientific side, but there was definitely a way on the magical side.
After all, they had seen with their own eyes that Doctor Strange had no problem using his hands afterwards.
Stephen Strange also stared at it intently, wanting to see how he found that opportunity. After all, if he really got into a car accident in the future, he would at least know where to ask for help.
In the picture, Stephen Strange tried every possible way to cure himself, but all the doctors refused. He even had difficulty washing his hands, and shaving was impossible.
But he refused to give up, even if it meant spending all his last penny.
In the United States, medical malpractice is the biggest reason for the middle class to fall back into poverty.
He even had a big fight with Christine who came in to comfort him. He spent all his last money and even overdrew his future.
"Don't feel sorry for me!" Strange couldn't help but say.
Christine couldn't help but retort, "I don't feel sorry for you!"
"Then what are you doing here? Bringing cheese and wine, like we're old friends having a picnic?" Strange continued. "But we're not friends at all, Christine, nor are we lovers. You just enjoy watching tragedies, don't you? Look at me, poor Stephen, look how pitiful he is!"
"He finally needs me. He's another poor kid from society who needs to be saved. I'll guide him with all my heart and let him face life again!"
After a big quarrel, Christine finally turned and left.
Seeing all this, Stephen Strange felt a little embarrassed. His temper was not that bad originally, but after the car accident, everything changed.
He has completely turned into a rotten person!
But a turning point soon came. He finally found Jonathan Pangborn, a middle-aged white man, whom his black friend had mentioned to him, at a street court.
"Jonathan Pangborn, cervical vertebrae 7 and 8 are completely damaged, the spring below the chest is broken, and both hands are completely paralyzed!" Stephen Strange slowly read out his medical records.
"Who are you? I don't know you?" Jonathan said to the unfamiliar Strange, feeling a little confused.
"My name is Stephen Strange!" Stephen Strange replied. "I used to be a neurosurgeon!"
"I remember now, I know who you are!" Jonathan walked over slowly. He finally remembered who this guy was. Then, with a sneer on his face, he said, "I went to your office, and you didn't even want to see me!"
"I can't even get past your assistant!"
"I can't save you at all!" Stephen Strange said. He didn't think there was anything wrong with what he did at the time, because he really had no way to treat Jonathan's illness.
But this scene seemed very ironic, because his doctor friends had advised him the same thing before. These people were simply unwilling to undergo surgery for something that had no hope. It was not because the money was not enough, but because it concerned their own reputation.
But he refused to give up and struggled to survive.
"So that's called retreating when faced with difficulty, right?"
Jonathan didn't say much, just kept sneering, then turned around and prepared to leave.
"You found hope from despair and created a miracle. I am also trying to create my own miracle!"
Stephen Strange said with a hint of pleading.
Faced with Stephen Strange's pleading, Jonathan finally did not harden his heart, but told him the truth that he could create miracles.
"The place you are looking for is called Kamar-Taj, but the price of going there is not small!" Jonathan said a mysterious, unknown name, Kamar-Taj.
"How much?" Strange asked.
"This isn't about money!" Jonathan said. "Good luck!"
Then he turned and entered the court to continue playing.
Then Doctor Strange traveled from the United States to South Asia with great difficulty, trying to find Kamar-Taj, but no one knew about it, and he even became the target of local thieves and gangsters.
He was robbed and almost killed, but it was Baron Mordo who rescued him from these gangsters at the critical moment.
At the same time, he also brought him to Kamar-Taj, a place that looked unremarkable at all.
After entering, he saw some ascetics and even mistook a Taoist priest for Ancient One.
Gu Yi immediately revealed the reason why he came here, and even said that he had undergone many operations recently, a total of seven.
"That's right!" Stephen Strange said, and then asked, "You once cured a man named Pangborn? A paralyzed patient."
"I guess so!" Master Ancient One said lightly.
"You helped him walk!" Stephen Strange couldn't help but say excitedly.
When he asked how Master Ancient One treated him, Master Ancient One said, "I didn't treat him. He couldn't walk, but I convinced him that he could walk on his own!"
Upon hearing this, Doctor Strange suspected that this was a liar and asked with some doubt: "You wouldn't say that this is psychotherapy, would you?"
"When you reconnect damaged nerves, are you healing or is your body healing itself?" asked Master Ancient One.
"It's cells!" said Doctor Strange.
"But cells only recover in unique ways, right?" said the Ancient One. "If I could tell you, you could convince your body to recover in various ways."
Hearing this, Stephen Strange thought it was cell regeneration, which is the most advanced medical research.
But she gave another answer. She knew how to use the spirit to support the body.
When Stephen Strange heard this, he thought it was nonsense, but the recovered Jonathan convinced him that it might be true.
When his mentality was about to explode and he was furious, he saw Ancient One take action. She palmed Stephen Strange's soul directly out of his body.
At this moment, everyone outside the screen felt incredible when seeing this scene, and even remembered what Lin Feng mentioned in his early diary, that he was afraid of being beaten out of his soul by Ancient One.
Now they finally understood what it felt like to beat out the soul.
It turns out that this is not just a modifier, but the reality. She just slaps the person's soul out with one palm.
After his soul floated up, Stephen Strange felt a completely different world.
But he still thought that there was some hallucinogen in the tea. How could he, a person who only believed in the material world and did not believe in gods or demons, believe in such an outrageous thing as the soul leaving the body?
"At that moment, you entered a spiritual dimension," Master Ancient One explained. "It's a place where the soul can exist without the body!"
The people outside the screen also heard this theory for the first time, and also knew for the first time that there was a place called the spiritual dimension.
"Why are you doing this to me?" Stephen Strange's spirit was close to collapse.
"It's to show you how ignorant you are." Master Ancient One replied calmly. "Open your eyes."
Then she attacked again and pressed on Doctor Strange's forehead. In an instant, his spirit flew up, flew into space, and flew into other dimensions, black holes, the deepest mysteries of the universe, the multiverse, the dark dimension, and endless mysteries.
"You think you know how the world works."
"You still think the material universe is everything."
"What is true?"
"What secrets lie hidden behind your cognition? At the source of the online world, where spirit and matter meet, thought shapes reality."
"This universe is just one of an infinite universe. The world is infinite. Some are beautiful and full of vitality, while others are evil and full of bloodshed. In those dark corners, the power of the wilderness lurks around, ready to strike."
"Who are you in this multiverse, Mr. Strange?"
Following Doctor Strange's experience, he finally realized that he had seen the true God, but he was driven out the next second.
Because he was not humble enough, he was taught a lesson.
The scene ends here.
Stephen Strange outside the screen couldn't help but cover his face with his hands when he saw this scene. This was too embarrassing. At first he didn't believe it at all and even thought it was a big liar. Then he was taught a lesson and thoroughly realized what it means that there are people beyond people, there are heavens beyond heavens, and there are universes outside the universe.
But when he first truly realized what the truth of the universe was, he lost that opportunity, lost the opportunity to get close to the truth of the universe.
Of course he knew that he would be able to become Gu Yi's disciple later, otherwise what happened later would not have happened, but this was still too embarrassing.
