Shiver.

I was trembling all over.

Charles was in a wheelchair, and in front of him was a table full of meters.

This is the room where the 'Mastermind' is located, the deepest part of the Mutant Academy.

He hadn't been here in a long time, or no one had visited in a long time.

The equipment was covered in dust.

Charles picked up the hood from the table, and he blew hard, and in an instant, there was a burst of dust.

"So, let's get started. ”

As in the original show, Rogan eventually convinces Charles, who eventually gives up on injecting himself with drugs.

He endured the constant noise coming into his head, and was pushed into a room by Logan and Hank in a wheelchair that he thought he would never enter again.

Putting the hood on, Charles took a deep breath.

The lights lit up in the spherical room, and a world map composed of countless red and blue dots appeared out of thin air in the room.

The red dots represent mutants, and the blue dots represent ordinary people.

The first step was successful, but there was no hint of relief on Charles's face.

"Hoo ......"

He changed his breath, then held it.

He gathered his mind, and in an instant, all the blue light on the map disappeared.

And then......

"Stop!"

"Who's there?!"

"I know you're there!

"Ahh

A series of noises sounded in Charles's mind, and correspondingly, several figures emerged from the countless red points of light, all of them in different forms, but at this moment they all fell to the ground with their heads in their hands.

Charles knew that his abilities were starting to spiral out of control.

Bruises began to pop up on his head, and sweat began to drip out.

But that's just the beginning.

"Ahhh!!h

The murmur of definite language was gradually replaced by screams of various tones, and in the midst of this cacophony, Charles shouted uncontrollably.

"Bang! bang!"

The glass on the table that protected the meter burst open one by one, and the crisp sound ended the murmur in Charles's head.

"Hum~"

The light in the 'main brain' quickly faded, and to be precise, the power was cut off.

Charles' ability to lose control caused the 'mastermind' to short-circuit.

"I think whoever sent you here made a serious mistake......"

Charles took off his hood and looked at Rogan with a decadent expression.

"I'm going to check the circuit. ”

Seeing this, Hank dropped a word and ran out.

He knew that Charles would probably let him get the potion next, and now he didn't want to inject Charles.

It's easy to get Charles back to work, and he should try more anyway.

And he believed in Logan's eloquence, and if he could convince Charles to make the first attempt, he could convince Charles a second time.

"Hey, Professor, you're right, I wasn't the first person to be sent in the original plan. ”

The air was filled with the smell of burnt rubber, and Logan wrinkled his nose before suddenly opening his mouth.

It was something he had never said.

"This trip was supposed to be yours, and I wasn't even a second choice. ”

Rogan walked up to Charles, who was already driving his wheelchair to leave the 'Mastermind'.

"However, only my body can withstand this journey, and I don't know how long it will last. ”

Frustrated, in a low tone, Logan lowered his head and leaned down, lowering his altitude to the point of being on an equal footing with Charles.

"You're right, I can't help you much with my presence, but I know someone who can help us. "Into my brain." ”

"You see the results of my use of the Mastermind! you don't want to be like it, do you?!"

Charles could feel Logan's determination, and he couldn't bear to hurt the fighter.

"I've experienced all kinds of injuries, don't worry, come on. ”

Logan grabbed Charles's finger and pressed it against his temple.

"Come on. ”

His gaze made it impossible for Charles to refuse (yoo ~ don't think crookedly).

"Okay. ”

Charles had seen Logan's resilience, so the burden on his heart was not that great.

Then his mental power poured into Logan's brain and connected to Logan's consciousness......

"Ahh

This is the wail that Logan let out when he lost Kara.

"Ah!!h

This was Logan's roar after completing the transformation experiment.

"Ah!!!h

This is Logan's question to Tiangong after he stabbed the Dark Phoenix.

"You...... You poor wretch!"

The memory full of tragedy made Charles's heart suffer a huge impact in an instant, as if someone had been hit the heart.

He disconnected the two, gasping loudly.

"I don't want your future!

Charles spat and sprayed Logan in the face.

"Skip my future and find yours. ”

Rogan still didn't let go of Charles's fingers, Charles's mental power had damaged his brain just now, but since the brain was painless, Rogan didn't know how serious the damage was.

All he knew was that his vision was a little blurry.

But injuries of this magnitude aren't enough to bother Wolverine.

"Come again. ”

He demanded it strongly.

Charles met the pair of eyes filled with determination, and once again, he extended his spiritual power.

"Looking for ...... What is my future......?"

With this in mind, Charles began his search.

Then, he was touched by an eerie sensation......

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Uh-huh......!"

As if through some indescribable diaphragm, Charles felt like he had fallen into a deep hole.

Pain in the back.

He struggled for a moment, then found himself lying on a stone bed, surrounded by unfamiliar faces.

He got up from the stone bed, and it wasn't until he had done this that he realized that his legs and feet were still functioning normally, and that the people around him didn't say anything about his way of getting up.

He looked around, and a handful of mutants were busy in and out of the temple, their faces filled with sadness and panic.

There's a smell of war here.

Suddenly, he saw a somewhat familiar presence.

It was an old man in a wheelchair.

"This is me. ”

For no reason, a voice in Charles's heart said with certainty.

"You're here. ”

Just as Charles looked at the old man, the old man also looked at Charles, and he was the only one here who showed any indication of Charles's arrival.

Or rather, he's the only one here who can see Charles.

"This is our future?"

Charles already had an idea in his heart.

He walked up to the old man, and he looked at his old self.

"Unfortunately, yes. ”

Professor X (hereinafter referred to as the elderly Charles as Professor X, for the sake of distinction.) Shrugging, he knew that time was precious.

"Can you tell me ......"

Charles was desperate to know what he was going to do, and he wanted to know a path that didn't lead to the end of the world.

But he was interrupted in the middle of his sentence.

"Let me take a look at your memories. ”

Professor X said.
