American manga: I drew Superman in the Great Depression

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

Counterworld, Metropolitan General Hospital.

After examining 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 Colin recovered so quickly was more or less related to his time traveling between 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 female New York City Democratic mayoral candidates, 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 They have been replaced by candidates who have been performing well before.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 percent."

"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 made them lose

to some of the voters who supported it.”

"This is already the second candidate in the current New York City mayoral race who has been exposed to scandal. The former New York City Cleaning Department director was exposed before this. It is precisely because of frequent scandals that

Many New York City citizens call this election the most controversial mayoral race in history."

"If we look at 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 maybe only Wilson Fisk himself knows.

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

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

【Black Iron Mark(1/10)】

【Faith(95/1000)】

The hard work of the newsboy not only increased the sales volume of "The Courier" by 200 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 room.

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 tone, 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 kind of irony...Did I offend you somewhere today?"

"You haven't offended me in many ways? 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 uniform 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 up 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 little unexpected."

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

Looking at the man's leaving figure, Strange shook his head and turned around to continue the previous topic.

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

"...remember...reality...is not...what you see...error..."

Suddenly, intermittent murmurs sounded in my ears. These sounds were far and near, just like the noisy noise received by the radio.

After shaking his head, Strange stretched out his hand to cover his head.

Suddenly, he saw that his slender fingers were covered with ugly scars that looked like centipedes.

"No, no, my hand..."

Looking at these scarred palms, Strange couldn't help but show a look of horror on his face.

"Strange, Strange!"

At this moment, Christine's voice brought him back from his panic.

"Christine."

After coming back to his senses, Strange saw the familiar surroundings and his long fingers that were still intact, with a confused expression on his face.

"Are you okay, Strange?"

Seeing the dazed expression on Strange's face, Kristen asked with worry.

"Hoo~"

Taking a deep breath, clenching his palms, Strange shook his head.

"I'm fine. Maybe it's because I'm too tired from the surgery. I just need to rest and I'll be fine."
