I am directing big events in American comics

Chapter 172 Strange, you are finally willing to get into a car accident

Three days have passed since the chaos in New York.

Things began to escalate, and the news spread around the world.

What surprised Lorraine was that the official still interpreted the incident as an alien invasion.

Because they can't explain the origin of the abnormality.

This statement is not wrong, after all, it was all done by Loki.

In the Holy of Holies, the voice of a news host came from the TV.

“Although this incident, which has just been confirmed as an alien invasion, has caused huge losses, this group of superheroes from the Eternal Parliament is not only a source of relief to many people, but also a reason to celebrate. "

Countless pictures flashed by, showing people's interviews and reactions to this incident.

People prayed and mourned for the victims of this incident, and were confident in the protective power shown by the Eternal Parliament.

They began to express their support for the Eternal Parliament in various ways, shaving the same beard as Tony, tattooing the American team's logo shield, buying Thor's hammer props...

and various related reports.

“It’s really nice to have them.”

"You know, there are people who can protect us."

"I love you, Thor!"

"I don't know. I don't know if it feels safe. It seems like the Federation is hiding a lot of things."

"These so-called heroes should be responsible for the destruction this city has suffered! They caused it... Who threw the shoe!?"

Lorraine turned off the television.

Ancient Yi sat in front of him, drinking tea slowly.

"The United Nations has been very busy lately."

Lorraine said, "Just after this happened in New York, their attitude toward mutants changed dramatically."

Extraordinary invaders need to develop extraordinary strength to fight against them.

"So the federation has its own considerations when interpreting this incident as an alien invasion."

Foreign enemies will bring unity within.

Gu Yi put down the tea cup in his hand and said softly: "That's right, the earth is in a very bad situation now."

Lorraine had explained to her what was going on in New York.

Different from the original timeline, because Lorraine was guarding the Holy of Holies, the Ancient One was not in New York at the time.

"The God of Stories?"

Gu Yi smiled, she didn't know how she would solve this problem if it were her at that time.

This is different from the small characters of the Chitauri, this is a truly powerful enemy.

"It's a good thing I had you there."

Gu Yi sighed, "The world is changing too fast, and there are some things I have to change now."

"Change is a good thing."

Lorraine nodded, picked up the tea and said, "By the way, Master Gu Yi, why did you come to me today?"

"It's not really a big deal."

Ancient One thought for a while and said, "It's just that Strange was going to have a car accident recently."

puff--

Lorraine almost spit out a mouthful of tea.

Gu Yi's words sound too much like a villain's.

What does it mean to be in a car accident recently?

Could it be that you arranged the car accident?
Lorraine wiped the tea stains from her mouth and said helplessly: "Master, you don't have any bold ideas, do you?"

"of course not!"

Gu Yi couldn't help but laugh, "I figured this out!"

That is not bad.

Lorraine thought about it, Strange already had a sense of destiny. He was destined to become the Supreme Mage, which was equivalent to being passed down from generation to generation.

Under the premise that the world is accelerating now, his destiny is also pushing him forward.

Only then did Gu Yi finally show a hint of worry.

“In fact, when I was watching this car accident, there were several places that I couldn’t see clearly, and something might go wrong.

"So I decided to keep an eye on the scene to prevent any accidents."

In Ancient One's logic, a car accident is not called an accident; it is called an accident if there is no car accident.

Strange's car accident was not as simple as imagined.

What he lost in the car accident will determine what kind of Sorcerer Supreme he will become.

Only losing both hands is the best outcome.

Because in Strange's mind, as a doctor, his hands are his weapons to treat illnesses and save lives.

The process of regaining my hands is to continuously strengthen my concept of saving others.

Later, he became the Supreme Master, but he never healed his hand because he no longer needed to rely on medicine to save the world.

This is the most ideal state that Ancient One hopes to see.

But what if not?

In another "What If..." timeline, Strange lost not his hands in the car accident, but his girlfriend sitting in the passenger seat.

After that, he seeks strength, not to save, but to raise the dead.

Because of this desire, he did not become the guardian of the world in the end.

Instead, he is a darkened mage who constantly uses time stones to go back to the past and try to tamper with reality.

This is what Gu Yi is worried about.

"I won't interfere too much, I'll just watch from a distance."

Gu Yi said softly, "Lorraine, do you want to accompany me then?"

"Okay." Lorraine nodded and said, "This can be regarded as my witnessing the birth of the next Supreme Mage."

……

A round of strong music sounded, which seemed to be a very old song.

With the music playing, Strange washed his hands and prepared for surgery.

He stepped on the rhythm point and started today's surgery.

Countless doctors were outside the operating room, observing and recording Strange's every move through the glass.

The anesthetist switched songs and the music became softer.

"'Breeze of Spring', Chuck Mangioni, 1977."

Strange immediately said the song's message.

He looked like the surgery he was doing was not difficult at all.

It's really not difficult for him.

After all it was just a bullet being removed from the brain.

This kind of surgery is hellish for other doctors, because it only takes a little shaking for normal surgery to fail.

But Strange is different.

His hands don't shake and he is the best neurosurgeon!
In the operating room, there were two other people observing everything.

But people around them are completely unaware of their presence.

Because they are in the mirror world.

This corresponds to reality, but does not affect the real world at all.

"He's also a little bit conceited."

Ancient Yi looked at his future successor with a smile on his lips.

She couldn't be happier.

Although Strange seems to be in trouble now, Gu Yi knows that there is no one more suitable than him.

Lorraine has little interest in Strange's surgery.

Instead, he was observing the mirror world very carefully.

It is completely identical to reality, but will not have any impact on reality.

Lorraine held a hanging ring in his hand, which was given to him by Ancient Yi when he entered the mirror world.

Without this thing, there is no way to leave this world.

Lorraine complained in her heart: "This place is suitable for choosing a bunch of Kamen Riders to come and fight."

Strange's surgery is over.

Perfect ending.

The patient who had been sentenced to death was brought back to life under his hands.

Strange walked out of the operating room easily, with a female doctor following behind him.

"Dr. Palmer, I have not forgotten today's dinner."

Strange said casually, "How about it, do you need me to pick you up?"

Doctor Palmer is Strange's dream girl who later married someone else, Christine Palmer.

Strange also attended her wedding.

Christine said helplessly: "Can you pay more attention to it? This is a very important dinner!" "If I can't attend, this dinner is not important at all."

Strange said casually, "That's it, we made an appointment. I'll pick you up from downstairs at 07:30."

He walked away, and Christine reminded him from behind: "But the dinner starts at eight o'clock!"

"Don't worry, it's too late!"

Strange waved his hand and headed off to the next surgery.

Ancient One and Lorraine stood next to Christine.

Lorraine touched her chin: "You have to cross almost half of New York in half an hour? No wonder there was a car accident."

"Strange is very confident in his driving skills."

Gu Yi said casually, "However, this seems to be a little different."

Indeed, if the situation continues as it is now, there will only be two people sitting in the car.

This is completely the rhythm of development towards the "What If..." timeline.

There was a car accident, Strange was fine, Christine died.

A dark Doctor Strange is about to be born.

In fact, Lorraine also thought of another possibility.

Strange is dead, Christine is fine.

Is it possible that Christine will inherit Strange's mission and become the new Doctor Strange?
In the Marvel world, this is entirely possible.

Forget it, it’s better not to think nonsense.

Gu Yi said with a solemn expression at this time: "We have to prevent this situation from happening and ensure that Strange is the only one in the car!"

At this time, she felt a little lucky.

Fortunately, I came here today.

Otherwise, accidents may happen.

"Strange's car accident was unavoidable, and it would be best if we could minimize the casualties of other people."

Lorraine nodded, "Then what should we do?"

"A very simple method, such as making this little girlfriend suddenly sick..."

When Gu Yi said this, he shook his head again, "No, maybe Strange will just give up attending the dinner and take her to the hospital, so there will be two more people in the car."

The car accident was destined to happen tonight, the destination was not the key.

The point is that at the time of the car accident, there was only one person in Strange's car.

How to do it……

Gu Yi was also in a bit of a dilemma. The current situation was that Strange didn't really want to attend the dinner, and he only attended for Christine's sake.

If something happens to Christine, Strange's actions will change unpredictably.

Forcibly changing the timeline often has no good results.

Despite Strange's cold appearance, Christine actually holds a very important position in his heart.

They couldn't even protect Christine during the car accident.

Because when Strange became the Sorcerer Supreme, he could easily know the whole process of the car accident.

It’s hard to explain until then.

Protect Christine, but not Strange?

Car accidents are bound to happen, but Strange doesn't have to be hurt.

This will give people the feeling that everything is arranged by Ancient One.

It will inevitably prick a thorn in Strange's heart.

Gu Dun was suddenly in a huge dilemma.

Is there a way to have both worlds?
"I have an idea."

Lorraine suddenly said, "Maybe you can not change anything, but this method may require you, Master Gu Yi, to make some sacrifices."

"any solution?"

Gu Yi said doubtfully, of course she didn't care about the sacrifice.

Because after Strange learns magic, she will even really 'sacrifice'.

"Cough cough."

Lorraine coughed lightly and said, "Master Gu Yi, you should be able to look like someone else, right?"

Gu Yi's eyes widened instantly.

"no!"

She subconsciously wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it carefully, Lorraine's method did work.

but……

"Why does it have to be me?"

Gu Yi smiled bitterly and said, "You should be able to change too, right?"

Lorraine shrugged and said, "But Strange is not my apprentice."

Gu Yi was silent for a long time, and finally sighed deeply.

She seemed to have no choice but to accept her fate: "Okay!"

……

Strange's mansion in the evening.

Strange hummed and tried on suits one by one in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows.

"This one doesn't work. It's not attractive enough."

"This one will work, but I don't have the tie to go with it."

"This... forget it, Christine won't like it."

Although he said he didn't care, Strange secretly attached great importance to this dinner.

In other words, what he valued was attending this event with Christine.

He is now in an extremely happy mood, even a little happy, which is completely different from the aloof and proud appearance in the eyes of outsiders.

No one saw it anyway.

Lorraine was sitting on the couch watching Strange perform.

He was alone, and Furuichi went to Christine's side.

Lorraine had no intention of causing trouble this time.

He is conducting an experiment.

After the appearance of Loki, the God of Story, the world has been irreversibly affected.

Lorraine wanted to observe how far this influence would develop.

Starting with Strange.

Finally, after Strange made a difficult decision, he chose the outfit that he was most satisfied with.

Then, he selected his favorite one from a drawer of watches.

ready to go out.

"This time is the best opportunity."

Strange encouraged himself in the mirror, "You must say that to Christine!"

Lorraine's expression instantly became a little strange.

which sentence?
Strange finally goes out.

He hummed a cheerful ditty all the way to Christine's downstairs.

Then, his temperament suddenly changed.

"I'm here, come down."

He became the arrogant and unapproachable person he was before.

Lorraine sat in the back seat and couldn't help but hold her forehead.

No wonder Christine would marry someone else in the end, and he finally knew the reason.

After waiting for a while, 'Christine' went downstairs.

Her makeup was exquisite and her figure-hugging evening gown outlined her imaginative curves.

At this moment, Strange's eyes clearly flashed with surprise, and then he quickly covered it up.

So beautiful!
Strange felt his heart pounding.

However, 'Christine's' expression seemed a little unnatural at this time.

Strange interpreted this as nervousness and shyness.

"Get in the car!"

Strange said coldly, "Don't make me wait so long next time!"

'Kristine' sat in the passenger seat, quietly and without speaking.

Car starts.

As Strange drove the car, he wanted to turn his head several times to take another look at Christine.

He swallowed nervously.

Tonight will be unforgettable!
