Kryptonian: Man of Steel

The clues seemed to have legs, leading him step by step to the basketball court under the viaduct.

It was a sunny afternoon, and the laughter on the basketball court formed a sharp contrast with Strange's inner heaviness.

He finally found the former patient in the crowd, a young man with a bright smile and full of energy.

After a conversation, Strange learned that all these changes came from a mysterious place called "Kamar-Taj". It is said that there is ancient wisdom and power hidden there that can cure all diseases and pains in the world.

Hearing this, Strange's heart was ignited with an unprecedented fire of hope. He decided without hesitation that no matter how far and difficult the journey was, he would find Kamar-Taj and grab this last straw.

He sold all the property that could be sold, and only had enough to buy an economy class ticket to Nepal. At the moment the plane took off, Strange seemed to see the dawn of his rebirth.

Nepal, a country located on the southern foot of the Himalayas, is famous for its mysterious culture and magnificent natural scenery.

However, for Strange, this is just the only way to Kamar-Taj. As soon as he got off the plane, he faced the first challenge - how to get to the mysterious place hidden in a remote town.

Fortunately, not far from the airport exit, he found a hand tractor with a few bricks behind it, which was particularly eye-catching.

The driver of the tractor was a middle-aged man with deep and calm eyes, as if he could see the essence of everything in the world.

Strange went up to ask, but he didn't expect that the man not only didn't ask for a sky-high price, but let him get in the car without saying a word, and drove all the way to the town.

On the way, the man occasionally looked up and looked into the distance, as if he was recalling the past years, and seemed to foreshadow the unknown journey that Strange was about to face.

After several hours of bumpy ride, Strange finally arrived at the legendary town. His skeleton seemed to have been reassembled, and the pain was unbearable, but his belief in his heart became stronger.

He began to ask around for news about Kamar-Taj. The residents of the town cast curious eyes on this outsider, but most people just shook their heads and said they didn't know.

Just when Strange felt a little desperate, he walked into a narrow alley, and suddenly, four burly men blocked his way.

Their eyes revealed unquestionable malice. Obviously, they were going to carry out an "ancient profession" here - robbery.

Strange's heart tightened, but he quickly calmed down and decided to use his wisdom and experience to deal with these four people.

He first pretended to be submissive, trying to reduce the other party's vigilance, while secretly observing the surrounding environment and looking for opportunities to fight back.

However, these four strong men were obviously not ordinary people. They were experienced and quickly saw through Strange's plan.

A fierce fight ensued. Although Strange tried his best, he was beaten by the other party without any power to fight back because his body had not fully recovered. He could only curl up on the ground and watch his belongings being robbed one by one.

Just when he was about to give up struggling and ready to accept the fate of teasing again, a black man in a robe appeared in his sight like a god from heaven.

The black man was agile and beat the four hooligans in a few moves. Strange looked up in surprise, his eyes full of gratitude and awe.

"Are you okay?"

The black man asked in fluent and slightly magnetic English.

Strange struggled to stand up from the dust, patted the dust on his body, nodded, and his eyes were full of gratitude.

"Thank you, my name is Strange, from America... um, to be more precise, the 41st District of the Illuminati. I... I'm looking for a place called Kamar-Taj, I heard that there is a mysterious power there that can heal my injuries."

The black man heard this, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and a subtle light flashed in his eyes, as if he sympathized with and understood Strange's experience.

"My name is Mordo, a wizard of Kamar-Taj."

A strong hope suddenly surged in Strange's heart. Kamar-Taj, this legendary miracle place, not only has the hope of healing his injuries, but also rescued him at the most critical moment! He carefully looked at Mordo in front of him, and saw that he was tall, with healthy dark brown skin, a firm face, and an indescribable wisdom and strength in his eyes. This is undoubtedly a righteous man, and he looks like a very politically correct and trustworthy partner.

So, Strange first sincerely thanked Mordo for saving his life, and then couldn't wait to reveal that he was looking for Kamar-Taj. Although Mordo had always looked indifferent, a trace of imperceptible warmth flashed in his eyes. He nodded slightly, motioned Strange to follow, and then took a big step and walked towards Kamar-Taj.

Strange followed Mordo closely, full of expectation and curiosity along the way. In his imagination, Kamar-Taj should be a mysterious place with towering towers, magnificent palaces, and mysterious wizards wearing robes and holding staffs. However, as they got closer, Strange found that the scene before him was very different from what he had imagined.

They came to a seemingly ordinary neighborhood, surrounded by some dilapidated houses and narrow streets. Just when Strange was a little confused, he saw several ascetics sitting on mats, holding rosaries in their hands, and sitting cross-legged with their bodies covered in white ash. They closed their eyes and concentrated, as if communicating with some power between heaven and earth. Strange instinctively wanted to turn over there, but Mordo led him to the opposite side.

"Are you sure it's here?" Strange asked hesitantly, pointing in the direction of the ascetics, "That place should be more like... Kamar-Taj, right?" There was a hint of uncertainty and doubt in his tone.

Mordo smiled slightly when he heard this, and the smile was small, but full of meaning. "I asked the same question before." He said, "I didn't know how to be polite at that time, but I can give you a suggestion: forget all the common sense you think you know."

Strange was stunned when he heard this, and he blinked his eyes, trying to understand the meaning of Mordo's words.

"Doing this... can help me integrate here quickly?" He asked tentatively.
