Christine Palmer closed his eyes tightly. The expected feeling of weightlessness in the air and the coming impact of the collision did not come, but were replaced by a strange floating feeling.
She was clearly squeezed tightly on the seat behind her just now, but now she felt empty behind her. Even the stepping sensation under her feet, the unique smell of leather in the car, or the sound of the whistling airflow and the shouts of Strange seemed to be separated by a layer of curtain.
Then, she felt her body stagger and was about to fall down. She was so frightened that she immediately opened her eyes to see what was going on.
At this moment, a pair of trembling arms stretched out from the side and hugged her waist steadily. Before she could react, she felt like she had fallen into a warm embrace.
A familiar voice that was a bit hoarse but still couldn't hide the excitement in his words sounded above her head, "Christine, I'm here to take you home!"
"Boom--!"
At the same time, a crash of metal squeezing and tearing exploded nearby.
Christine didn't have time to think about her current situation and hurriedly looked in the direction where the sound came from. A tattered and familiar vehicle suddenly came into view.
"No! Strange!"
"Christine, everything is over, I will always be by your side!"
Just as she screamed, a comforting voice sounded in her ears, and she finally recognized that it was the voice of the man who was having trouble with her just now.
As if she had grasped the last straw, she subconsciously tightened her fingers on the Strange robe, turned back sharply, and looked at the face of the owner of the arms that hugged her.
"Strange? How did you become like this? What happened?"
Strange's obviously weathered face was now looking down at her tenderly, with his eyes still rosy with the remnants of emotion.
Christine feels that his mind is in a mess now. Strange was clearly not dressed in this mysterious way just now, and even his temperament has changed a lot, becoming deeper, more majestic, and more noble.
"No, Christine, no, damn, hold on, you'll be fine!"
"Help, someone comes!"
"Christine, the ambulance is coming soon, hold on, I will save you, I promise!"
"No, no, no! Please, don't die!"
"No--!!!"
A rapid and hoarse plea suddenly came from the side, attracting Christine's attention.
As soon as she turned her gaze away, her pupils suddenly shrank to the size of a pinhead.
She saw another Strange crawling out of the broken car, struggling to hold the other Christine, whose face was covered with blood and unconscious, in his arms, wailing in embarrassment, and tears falling down his dusty face, making him look even more lonely.
Christine looked back and forth in disbelief between the unfamiliar Strange who was holding her and the Strange who was obviously more familiar to her. The presence of the other Christine made her feel suffocated and she could hardly think usefully.
At this time, Li Ge and Wanda, who were watching the show with great interest, were finally noticed by Christine, and the floating feeling under their feet was finally remembered by her.
She heard the handsome boy who seemed to have a sense of dignity speak, "Strange, do you need us to help Christine explain the situation?"
situation?
What's going on?
And...Strange?
Is the person holding me really Strange?
What about Strange, who turned a blind eye to them and cried while hugging his other self?
Are you dreaming?
Then, Strange's calm voice sounded above her head, "No need to trouble you Li Ge, I will explain it myself to Christine!"
Christine finally realized that he was still being held by Strange, and immediately struggled out of his arms, floating precariously in front of Strange.
Her eyes rested for a moment on Strange, who had stopped crying and called an ambulance, and then took a deep look at her other self, who had her eyes closed tightly and her life or death unknown.
Christine took a deep breath, looked at Strange with complicated eyes, and said in as calm a voice as possible, "Strange, I think you have a lot of things that you need to explain to me now!"
"Like... the clothes you're wearing?"
"Relax Christine, I'll tell you everything!"
If someone could see through the space-time barrier set up by Li Ge, they would see a strange picture.
Under the cliff, in front of the scrapped car, a high-end suit Strange in tatters was holding Christine, whose life or death was unknown and his face was covered with blood, anxiously waiting for the ambulance, and trying to treat him himself.
Next to it, in mid-air several meters above the ground, another Strange in a robe was explaining something to the unharmed Christine opposite.
At the same height next to them, a young couple was watching a show together, exchanging words in low voices from time to time.
Obviously the people below could see the people above them if they raised their heads, but when Strange below looked around eagerly, he turned a blind eye to the four people floating above.
"Strange, are you okay?"
It has to be said that money is speed. Under the money offensive of Strange below, an ambulance roared at a high speed and arrived at the scene of the accident not long after, followed by the police.
Li Ge was already a little bored and took out the table and chairs, chatting with Wanda while eating preserved fruits made from the fruits of the fruit trees in the base.
Strange was not polite at all. He pulled Christine and sat down, and asked Li Ge to bring out some more goodies for Christine to taste.
After hearing Li Ge's inquiry, Strange finally stopped talking to Christine. He had just recounted almost all his experiences after losing Christine, and Christine also learned about the current situation from Strange's narration.
She first looked at Strange with eyes full of love and apology, and then looked at Li Ge gratefully. "Thank you Li Ge, Strange must have caused you a lot of trouble, I apologize to you on his behalf!"
Then, she looked at Strange with red eyes and haggard face at her feet, who was talking to the police with complicated eyes, and then looked at another Christine who had been covered with a layer of white cloth and carried into the ambulance.
Li Ge saw the unbearability in her eyes, as well as a trace of guilt. The unbearability was for the previous Strange, and the guilt was for the other Christine.
"Christine, you have to know that this is what Strange must experience. Without your death, he would not become Sorcerer Supreme."
"And if he doesn't become Sorcerer Supreme, he has no right to ask me to save you!"
