This decadent middle-aged man is Stephen Strange, the mysterious genius predicted by the ancient one.

After leaving Wakanda, Lu Xiao went directly to New York and first met with Jonathan Pangborn.

Even after leaving Karma Taj, Pangborn still had great respect for Lu Xiao who gave his life a new light. He told Lu Xiao in detail the process of completing the task.

Before departing from Kama Taj to Wakanda, Lu Xiao instructed Wanda to come to New York in his name and discuss with Pangborn how to seduce Strange to become interested in the occult world.

At that time, Strange was at the lowest point in his life. After losing his hands, he also lost his goals. He was thinking only about how to heal his hands and return to his peak.

However, this is just self-paralysis in despair.

The nerve damage in Strange's hand was so severe that even he himself would shy away from this kind of surgery, let alone other less skilled neurosurgeons.

After repeated efforts to no avail, Strange gradually despaired.

In order to heal his hands, Strange, who has always spent a lot of money, underwent multiple surgeries using cutting-edge technology and cutting-edge equipment in just a few months, which cost a huge amount of money.

After sitting on nothing, he finally fell into a money crisis. His colleagues who were close friends in the past have alienated him one after another. Stephen Strange, who was once famous all over the world, has experienced the ups and downs of human relationships during this time.

As the saying goes, human beings are born with a bad nature, and what is not obtained and lost is the best.

Strange, who became a loner, finally began to rein in his arrogance and conceit. He realized how foolish it was to express his anger towards Christine Palmer.

After being autistic for a period of time in loneliness and regret, Strange finally became curious about Pangborn's recovery under the guidance of a rehabilitation doctor.

The rehabilitation doctor who knew nothing of the truth was just trying to encourage Strange to tell the story about Pangborn.

Of course, some people's secret inducement is inevitable.

"Enough!"

Strange, who insisted on rehabilitation, finally exploded under the influence of his irritable mentality: "These rehabilitation treatments are of no use at all!"

“Have you ever seen someone with such severe neurological damage recover through rehabilitation treatment?!”

The rehabilitation doctor who was scolded by Strange was not angry. People in his profession have seen too many people who suffer from emotional breakdown and have long been accustomed to it.

"Don't tell me, I've actually seen it."

The black rehabilitation doctor continued calmly: "Last year, a person injured his C7 and C8 vertebrae in his neck due to a work accident. He was completely paralyzed from the chest down. Even if he is sitting in a wheelchair, he will continue to feel severe pain from his shoulders."

"At first he insisted on coming for rehabilitation three times a week, but after a while he stopped coming."

The black doctor looked into Strange's eyes and said: "I originally thought he had given up on himself a long time ago, but a few days ago I watched him and his friends walking past the entrance of the rehabilitation center talking and laughing, still shooting a basketball in his hand.

.”

Strange raised his head in surprise: "Passed by?"

"Yes, let's go."

Strange twitched the corner of his mouth in disdain: "That's nonsense."

"Let me see his medical records. Some quack doctors must have misdiagnosed him."

The black doctor looked at Strange speechlessly: "You think it's easy to retrieve medical records?"

"But it's worth spending some time to shut up this conceited guy like you."

The rehabilitation doctor did not lie, and he sent Pangborn's case to Strange the next day.

After reading the case, Strange was still dubious. He decided to find Pangborn according to the address on the case and observe his physical condition in person.

When Lu Xiao returned from Wakanda, Strange had just learned the secret of his recovery from Pangborn.

Strange, who received a scientific education from an early age, found it difficult to believe in the mysterious world Pangborn said, but other than this answer, there is no explanation for why Pangborn, who was seriously injured and paralyzed, could still be alive and kicking and playing basketball.

Strange personally confirmed his case and there was no misdiagnosis.

Pangborn's spine was indeed hopeless, but with the living example before him, Strange couldn't help but not believe it.

Just when Strange was hesitating whether to follow Pangborn's guidance and go to Nepal to find Kama Taj, an incredible scene clearly appeared in front of Strange.

The magical scene displayed by Lu Xiao prompted Strange to make a decision. He desperately used his last savings to buy a ticket to Nepal.

If his hands cannot be cured, he will not even be able to raise money for a return flight and will have to beg on the streets of Nepal to make a living.

…

Nepal is one of the least developed countries on earth. Taking a flight from New York to Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal, requires many transfers and is quite time-consuming.

As Strange struggled to pack his luggage with trembling hands and prepared to set off, the Avengers in Siberia finally saw the truth hidden in the base.

"This guy..."

Yongzhen untied the ice that bound Zemo's limbs and lifted him up from the ground: "He is the mastermind behind the Thawed Winter Soldier's attack on the United Nations. I have already checked his identity."

"Beep~"

Yongzhen used Focus to enlarge and project Zemo's information in front of Stark, Rogers and others.

"Helmut Zemo, once affiliated with the Skovia Intelligence Service, led a secret assassination unit called the Echo Scorpions."

"Due to a failed mission, Zemo and his team were exiled by the Skovian authorities. Since then, they have become free mercenaries, traveling around Europe to earn money to support their families."

Yongzhen handed Zemo into Tony's hands: "As for why he designed to alienate the Avengers... I don't need to explain it, right?"

"Skovia..."

Stark looked at the unconscious Zemo in silence for a moment, and Yongzhen took this time to ask Aletheia to turn on the antique computer in the base.

Under Aletheia's control, written data appeared on a large number of ancient computer monitors in the base. One of the computers also played the entire process of Winter Soldier Barnes killing the Howards and snatching the super soldier serum.

Zemo had previously recorded this video and played it at the United Nations General Assembly. Tony did not want to see the tragic death of his parents again, so he forced himself to turn his attention to the information displayed on other computer screens.

The content of these materials is actually nothing new. They only describe in detail the experience of Sergeant James Buchanan Barnes who fell off a cliff, was rescued by Hydra, brainwashed, and injected with super soldier serum.

As smart as Stark, he has long seen the huge difference between the ruthless Winter Soldier in the video and his Avengers companion Barnes.

However, after all, human beings are not creatures that rely entirely on rational thinking. When he was angry, Stark could not control so much and only wanted to kill Barnes to pay for his parents' lives.

The records in front of him prove Rogers' previous defense that Barnes was completely unable to control himself at that time and he did not even have a deep memory of killing the Howards.

Yongzhen stood aside and added: "I have heard Lu Xiao talk about the process of subduing and repairing Barnes' mind."

"At that time, Barnes's mental world was in chaos and he had no consciousness at all. Hydra only needed to use a few stupid Russian words to control him."

"Lu Xiao used spiritual magic to straighten out the messy soul of Barnes, awaken his true consciousness, and remove the brainwashing of Hydra. Only then can the real Barnes stand in front of you and join the Avengers to fight for himself.

Atonement for the mistakes once committed.”

"My mission ends here."

Yongzhen raised his left hand with the hanging ring flat and drew a circle with his right hand to open the portal to Moscow.
