American comics: I drew Superman during the Great Depression

"Mr. Luper, congratulations, the wound is healing better than expected..."

Counterworld, Metropolitan General Hospital.

After checking the condition of Colin's wound, the doctor gave the latest diagnosis.

"I believe it won't take long before you can be discharged from the hospital smoothly."

"Thank you, doctor."

Lying on the hospital bed, Colin nodded.

Watching the doctor who made rounds leave, Colin raised his hands to move his shoulders and felt the recovery of his body. Except for the vague tingling sensation still coming from the wound, in fact, his body was basically healed. .

The reason why he recovered so quickly, Colin guessed, was more or less related to his journey through the positive and negative worlds.

Every time he wakes up from the real world, he can feel the pain in the wound area lessening.

Unfortunately, this recovery speed is still within the range of normal people, and is not exaggerated to the extent that some people heal in the blink of an eye.

Therefore, Colin's hospital life in the counter-world will continue.

"...According to a latest poll, the polls for the female New York City Democratic mayoral candidate, who once led by a large margin, have declined, from 24% to 15%. They have been replaced by candidates who have been performing well before. Wilson Fisk, the other guy, won first place with 21%.”

"The polling analyst said that the main reason for the change in the polls is the bribery scandal that has been exposed recently and the suspicion of discrimination against ethnic minorities. The successive scandals have severely damaged the momentum of the Democratic candidates and also made them lose supported by some voters.”

“This is already the second candidate in the current New York City mayoral race to be exposed to scandal. The one who was exposed before this was the former New York City Cleaning Department Director. It is precisely because of the frequent scandals that Many New York City residents call this election the most controversial mayoral race in history.”

"If we go by the current poll trends, Wilson Fisk is likely to become the new mayor of New York City this term."

Time did not stop because of Colin's hospitalization.

On the news, the latest situation in the New York City mayoral race was reported, and businessman candidate Wilson Fisk 'unexpectedly' took the lead.

However, there are some intentional elements behind this "accident" in the poll.

Or perhaps only Wilson Fisk himself knows.

Colin looked at the Wilson Fisk or Kingpin campaign photo and thought to himself.

Put down the newspaper in your hand and focus on the words in front of you.

[Black Iron Mark (1/10)]

【Faith (95/1000)】

The newsboy's hard work not only increased the sales volume of "The Courier" by two hundred copies, but also added two more points of [faith] to him.

After figuring out how to obtain [Faith], Colin naturally focused on the other side, which is to obtain [Time Shards].

Originally, he planned to wait until he was discharged from the hospital to return to the Daily Bugle and try it on his boss, Jameson.

However, there seems to be a more suitable target now.

"...Fusion of broken spinal cords...This may sound harsh, but this is a groundbreaking technology...stimulating the regeneration of the central nervous system. This technology can save thousands of lives...You think I need to prove it to him?" What...please, I am the authority..."

Metropolitan General Hospital, Emergency Department.

Stephen Strange took off his mask and said in a matter-of-fact tone in the corridor.

"Okay, I admit that you are great, Mr. Authority."

On the side, Christine Palmer, who is also a surgeon, spread her hands and replied in an unbearable tone.

"Don't think I can't hear the sarcasm in your voice, Christine."

Looking at Christine with raised eyebrows, Strange gestured with his fingers and said.

"Really, I thought I had hidden it well..."

In this regard, Christine deliberately said in a very 'fake' tone.

"I guess this is another form of irony...did I offend you somewhere today?"

"How many ways have you not messed with me? Strange, you are a walking mean machine."

"Wow, I'm a little flattered by your description."

Walking out from the corridor of the emergency room, Strange heard Christine's description of himself, with a speechless expression on his face. He stopped and was about to continue saying something.

"Doctor Strange!"

Suddenly, a voice from behind interrupted his words.

"Who are you?"

Turning around, I saw a young man wearing a hospital gown standing there.

"It's an honor to meet you. I once listened to your speech on laminectomy live. It was very groundbreaking. The content of the speech is still fresh in my memory..."

Stepping forward to Strange, the man stretched out his palm and said excitedly.

"Yeah?"

Looking down at the man's outstretched palm, Strange and Christine looked at each other silently, and then hesitantly reached out and shook his hand.

"Thanks."

After shaking hands briefly, Strange looked at the hospital clothes the man was wearing, raised his eyebrows and asked, "But, what are you doing?"

"A bit of a surprise."

Without saying anything more about his own situation, the man glanced at Strange and Christine in front of him, and then said: "Then I won't bother you, Doctor Strange."

Looking at the man's back as he left, Strange shook his head and turned to continue the previous topic.

"... Strange... Strange... Strange..."

"... Remember... reality... is not... what you see... wrong..."

Suddenly, intermittent whispers sounded in his ears, and these sounds came and went, just like the noisy noise received by the radio.

Shaking his head, Strange stretched out his hand to cover his head.

In a trance, he saw that his slender fingers were covered with dense and ugly scars like centipedes.

"No, no, my hands..."

Looking at the scarred palms, Strange couldn't help showing a horrified expression on his face.

"Strange, Strange!"

At this moment, Christine's voice pulled him back from the panic.

"Christine."

Coming back to his senses, Strange saw the familiar environment around him and his slender fingers that were still intact, and his expression was a little dazed.

"Are you okay, Strange?"

Looking at the dazed expression on Strange's face, Christine asked with a worried look.

"Huh~"

Take a deep breath, clench your palms, and shake your head.

"I'm fine, maybe it's because the operation is too tiring, I just need to rest for a while."
