Chapter 15: Is This Plague Doctor A Comedian? The Pestilence Is Spotted!
Looking at this strange figure that suddenly appeared, Both Stark and Doctor Yinsen were stunned. Yinsen felt panicked for some reason. This feeling of unease, it's different from when he's in front of those terrorist
This is the Middle East, a lair filled with terrorists! Why does someone wearing medieval plague doctor's attire come out of nowhere? Tony couldn't help shaking with fear. He felt strange looking at this figure in front of him.
He inexplicably thought of the inventory of the Special Contained objects on the light curtain. This figure gave him the same feeling as those anomalies. "Where is this? Why am I here"? He shook his head, trying to recollect his prior memories.
"Doctor? Are you a doctor as well"? Yinsen looked at the Plague Doctor and asked; "Were you also captured by those terrorists"?
"Um...how should I put it? To be precise, I just appeared here". The plague doctor looked around, pacing back and forth in this dirty and simple cave. Then, he said with great satisfaction; "Ah yes, this place is very clean".
....
"Clean"? Hearing such a sentence, Yinsen couldn't help glancing at the garbage in the corner, and the several corpses on the ground. A look of incomprehension appeared on his face. He was completely bewildered by this weird doctor.
People watching the live broadcast couldn't help laughing.
"Hahaha...I originally thought this would be like a horror movie, but it suddenly turned into a comedy"?
"Pfft hahaha! This Doctor Yinsen's puzzled expression is really hilarious"!
"What the fuck? I see several corpses, and the blood on them hasn't dried yet! He calls this clean"?
"..."
SHIELD….
An Agent couldn't help muttering to himself; "This plague doctor looks approachable, unlike those other anomalies, he's probably not that hard to contain.
...
On the light curtain, the video continues.
"This person has probably been kidnapped by those terrorists for too long and has lost his mind." Tony and Yinsen exchanged glances and nodded to each other.
The Plague Doctor didn't seem to notice Tony and Yinsen's reaction at all, and began to observe the cave more carefully.
"Ah, it's a miracle. This place is so close to the pestilence, and yet, there are no traces of it at all"! The Plague Doctor's voice sounded quite satisfied.
"Pestilence"? Yinsen was taken aback; There are many corpses here, and it is indeed possible to produce plague outbreaks. But the medical conditions here are practically nonexistent. There is nothing he can do about it.
The Plague Doctor replied to him; "The Scourge! The Great Dying. Come now, you know, the, uh"…
"What is it they call it, the… the… ah, no matter. The Pestilence, yes. It abounds outside this cave, you know. So many have succumbed, and many more will continue to, until such time as a perfect cure can be developed".
He slumped on the ground and said; "Fortunately, I am very close. It is my duty in life to rid the world of it, you see. The Cure To End All Cures"! "So, do you understand"?
Yinsen looked at the Plague Doctor with a confused face. And seeing this scene, the audience watching the live broadcast were even more confused.
"Pfft hahaha! What the hell is wrong with this guy? He said it so elegantly, but it still doesn't make sense"!
"Explained, but not fully explained".
"Yinsen: do you even hear yourself speaking"? "Hahaha".
"The more I think about it, the more I feel like this Plague Doctor has no experience being a doctor at all"!
"..."
Asgard.
"This Special containment-049 Plague Doctor... why does he seem to be the same type of idiot as Thor"! Loki had the corner of his mouth twitching. "Seems like there's no lack of idiots like this in the world".
...
In the middle East.
Doctor Yinsen was momentarily stunned. Then, he got over his shock and asked in a hesitative tone; "Is the pestilence you speak off, the Black Death"?
He thought that there might be something wrong with this Plague Doctor's mental state, hence the whole Plague Doctors get up. Thinking that the pestilence he might be referring to is the black death. He asked curiously.
But the Plague Doctor looked quite stunned; "Black Death? What is that? I've never heard of it".
Yinsen: "..."
Tony on the other side was just as confused. This strangely dressed man, not only is he mentally ill, but he doesn't even know about the Black Death. Even though he's dressed in medieval plague doctor's attire. It's outrageous! "Ah, forget it, the most important thing now is to survive. I have to get out of here"!
...
Meanwhile, the audience had different reactions to this.
"What the hell! He's wearing a medieval doctor's plague suit, and keeps mentioning the pestilence. A normal person would think he was talking about the Black Death, right? But he doesn't even know what that is"?
"Doctor Yinsen is probably so confused, hahaha"!
"So, is this Plague Doctor just a funny character"?
"I think the foundation just thought we were too frightened, so they inventoried this anomaly that seems like a funny character"?
"..."
Kamar-Taj.
The mages and apprentices showed a look of bewilderment. When they first saw the Plague Doctor appear, even though they were separated by the light curtain, they felt the same type of fear they felt when they first saw the Sculpture. But unexpectedly, this Plague Doctor doesn't seem so scary?
However, just then... The plague doctor who was sitting on the ground comfortably, Suddenly tensed his muscles and stood up. With a serious look on his face, he turned around and looked behind him. Then, with an extremely angry voice, he shouted; "It's the Pestilence"!
