Chapter 48: This Locket Is Your New Home
"Can I recover?"
"Of course?"
"How is this possible? My lifespan ......"
"Your abilities are special, but in fact your abilities are so strong that you don't have the concept of longevity. ”
Theoretically, as long as Wolverine is not spiritually extinguished, he can survive forever. This means that as long as he firmly believes that he is not dead, he can live forever, even if he only has the last vestiges of spiritual will, his self-healing ability will always work.
The movie version of Wolverine may not have reached this level, but it won't die so easily. His current state is the dilemma caused by long-term consumption of genetic drugs, and the drugs are suppressing his self-healing factor every moment and every second, and in this case, his self-healing ability has not completely disappeared, which is enough to prove his strength.
Ethan felt that as long as this guy was given enough time, maybe that genetic drug would be slowly immunized by Logan, and at that time he would still be able to recover his previous appearance of being alive and unable to die.
Knowing that he can still live very well, even Wolverine, who has seen through a lot of things, is a little confused, and Charles on the side is happy for his students and friends, Wolverine can live, which means that mutants are left with hope - plus the young mutant he sensed during this time, mutants have not ushered in the final end.
However, Logan stared at Ethan after being stunned for a while: "How do you know these things?"
Ethan was only a young man in his early twenties, and perhaps he had great abilities, but how did he know about these secret things? and from his words, he knew very well about himself and his professor's abilities and circumstances.
This understanding ...... It made him feel very uncomfortable.
"Because I'm not from this world, I know a lot about some of the things that happen in your world. ”
Theories such as parallel worlds and multiverses are not uncommon, and even people with little culture are no strangers to these theories after living in the era of the information explosion, and they are not unacceptable to some of Ethan's amazing-sounding explanations.
"So you know what's going to happen to us next?"
"Yes. ”
In the following time, Ethan made a spoiler dog very happily, and still spoiled the story to the protagonist himself, of course, he just chose some key points to tell.
For example, Wolverine has a daughter who has been artificially bred based on his genes, and this girl will come to the door in the next few days.
The appearance of the little girl will ruin the last bit of their peaceful life, Professor Charles will die, Caliban will die, and even Wolverine Logan himself will die.
"You're talking about Laura Ginny?"
Charles had already 'connected' with this little girl during this time, and he used the little waking time every day to guide Laura to find them, otherwise how could a nurse working in a research institute easily find Wolverine's whereabouts?
"Looks like she's already around here. ”
Listening to the conversation between Ethan and Charles, Rogan suddenly had a strange sense of immediacy, as if he had done something similar years ago, only then he was playing the role that the young man now plays.
"Who the hell are you? Did someone entrust you here?"
"Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Ethan. Ethan remembered that he hadn't even introduced his name for a long time: "There is no one to entrust me, in fact, I came to this world by accident, but after realizing where I was, I decided to help you." ”
"Why?"
"Because it makes me feel better. ”
“......”
This answer sounds unreliable, but both Charles and Logan feel that the other party is not joking, and he is telling the truth.
After a conversation, they had gotten too much information from Ethan.
Why are mutants extinct?From Laura's topic, I learned that there is now a new generation of mutants, who were originally created as experimental subjects, and wanted to train them into weapons, but now these children have escaped from the research institute, and Laura is one of them.
Ethan fulfilled his promise perfectly, answering everything they wanted to know.
After learning about their current situation and the current environment of the world, Logan and Charles glanced at each other and felt that it was better not to know!
The environment is too harsh, they are not stupid, they can put genetic drugs all over the world, and carry out all kinds of genetic tests unscrupulously, so it is already clear who is behind the biggest mastermind.
"You said you wanted to help us, what are you going to do in this situation?"
Logan didn't think Ethan could do anything, and now they seemed to have to wait for death in this situation, and those guys could take care of them if they could let them die quietly.
If he did want to live a little when he learned that he could recover, now Logan suddenly doesn't want to recover - the situation of being the enemy of the world is not a good experience, and dying like this is a relief.
"I can't do much. Ethan didn't want to do much: "At most, I will wipe out the crazy ones and not let you die." ”
He deliberately pointed at Logan, emphasizing that he was talking about you, not you. Both Caliban and Charles understood the difference, but they didn't see anything wrong with it.
It's useless for Caliban to be envious, and the genetic drug doesn't have much effect on him, he can live normally, as long as he avoids this turmoil.
Charles is too old, even if the problem of genetic medicine is solved, it will not be able to solve his physical problems.
Ethan had the Fountain of Life in his hand, but it was not yet the time to expose it.
Only Wolverine Logan's problem is best solved, as long as the intake of genetic drugs is stopped, the toxins in the body are removed, and his self-healing ability is restored to a certain extent, and his body will become better.
Logan was silent for a moment: "Thank you very much for your kindness, but I guess forget it." ”
"If you don't think it's interesting to live because the world is full of enemies, you don't have to worry about that. Ethan spread his hands: "Forget what I told you before, I'm not from this world." ”
"You want to invite us to your world?"
"I happen to have a big ship. ”
Charles laughed directly when he heard Ethan's words, Logan has been talking about buying a boat lately, so that they can hide at sea and live, he didn't expect this young man to even know this.
"I'm sorry to interrupt you, but I don't want to leave this world. ”
Caliban, who has never had a sense of existence, finally has a chance to show himself, in fact, genetic drugs or something have little impact on him, and it doesn't matter if his ability is in today's environment, and he cares more about what Ethan said before: kill all the guys he can't get used to.
Whether this person was bragging or not, it was undoubtedly a huge trouble, and he already wanted to get out of it.
No one felt that there was anything wrong with his choice, not even Logan felt that he should leave, especially now that he would soon come to the door after learning that those troublesome things would soon come to his door.
So Caliban left very simply.
Ethan didn't care about his departure, in fact, it was a good thing for him, as long as he hid well, he might be able to spend the rest of his life in peace.
Ethan didn't think about bringing Caliban back, this guy is not a solid mouth, there is a good chance that he will reveal his secrets, and his character is not so strong.
His biggest target now is Wolverine Logan, who has no nostalgia in this world and is the most likely person to be fooled away by himself.
As for Professor Charles......
It wasn't until the Caliban had completely left that Ethan gave his advice to Charles.
"I have a way to keep the professor alive, but I don't know if you can accept that. ”
Professor Charles's greatest ability is mental power, and if he follows the setting in the comics, Professor Charles at the peak can break free from the shackles of the physical body and reach the level of spiritual immortality.
If you lose your body, you can survive with a full mental body, or you can even take someone else's body as your new body - of course, this body still has certain requirements.
In the movie world, in the easter egg of the last part of the old trilogy, there seems to be a vague display of this ability, but that is the strength of the professor at his peak, and his current state should not be able to do it.
In addition, the timeline of the X-Men's movie world is a little confusing, and even whether the Wolverine 3 film is an independent timeline or connected to the previous ones, the official has not given an accurate attitude.
The film company can be said to do this in order not to say it to death, so as to facilitate the development of subsequent films, but for Ethan, this makes him feel a headache.
"I'm ninety years old, I don't have any nostalgia anymore, you just need to cure Logan. ”
"Professor. ”
"Logan, no more...... My brain was remarkably clear, so I remembered what I had done. Seeing that Logan stopped talking, Professor Charles turned to look at Ethan, "You want me to survive in the form of a spirit body." ”
Hearing Professor Charles's words, Ethan knew that this old man had this ability, at least at the peak. After all, this is a master who has exerted his spiritual power to the extreme.
"Yes, it's just that considering that your current state is too far from the peak, you need to create a carrier to store your spirit and avoid the spirit body directly collapsing and dissipating. ”
It is to create a container to carry Professor Charles's spirit body, and use it as a temporary residence for Professor Charles's pure spirit body version until a suitable 'carrier' is found.
