Chapter 55: Buy One Get One Free
Ethan and Logan stood opposite each other, compared to Logan's tattered and smoky fire, Ethan not only did not have the slightest damage to his clothes, but even his hairstyle was not messy at all.
Compared with the chaotic scene around him, Ethan seemed a little out of place - and also a little out of place for this scene was Laura, who was carrying a school bag, and she was walking around casually, checking whether there were any living mouths among the corpses lying on the ground from time to time.
"It's a bit of a mess, Logan. β
"It's been too long since I've fought with all my might. Logan kicked the corpse at his feet, "And this guy is tougher than I thought." β
Ethan, who watched the fight between the two throughout the whole process, knew that this guy was not as simple as being difficult, if it weren't for the fact that his self-healing ability was much weaker than Logan's, and he didn't consume the genuine Wolverine in the end, maybe the two of them were still fighting like they would never stop.
"Is this guy really dead?"
Ethan looked down at Logan's clone, the clone warrior codenamed X-24, and he could clearly feel that this guy's spirit body had collapsed, and with the collapse of the spirit body, his already weak self-healing ability became even weaker, until it completely lost its effect.
"It seems to me that he is indeed dead. β
From his point of view, a normal person can be divided into three parts: body, soul, and spirit, the body contains the spirit and the soul, and the soul contains the spirit and its own character and memory and knowledge, etc., which represent the content of self-knowledge, among which the spirit is almost equivalent to the core, once the spirit collapses, the person's soul will also dissipate, and if the soul is lost, the person is equivalent to death.
Even if this person's body still has life characteristics, and even if a new soul has been condensed due to some special circumstances, this person is not the previous one.
Of course, Logan didn't know these contents, and he was very puzzled that Ethan actually gave such a vague answer: "Aren't you able to extract souls? Can't you tell if this guy's soul is still there?"
Soul or something, even ordinary people have a considerable understanding, this is almost the common knowledge of many civilizations, which is why Ethan used to threaten Pierce before, neither Pierce nor Logan asked for details.
It's just that he would never have thought that Ethan couldn't really extract his soul at allβat least not so easily.
"The magic of the Rasma Sect is very profound and obscure, I have only been with that priest for a short time, how can I learn their spells?"
"What you told Pierce before was to scare him?"
"Of course it was to scare him, it's not that you didn't see how I extracted Professor Charles's spiritual body, it was still the professor's full cooperation. If the other party tries to resist, do you think I can casually pull a person's soul out?"
If he can do that, then he will either be a magician who specializes in soul level, or a top mage who has reached the level of the Ancient One, with his current level...... Let's use all kinds of props honestly.
When he scared Pierce before, Ethan used his own mental power and that little magic energy to create some mental oppression, or took advantage of Pierce's injury and weakness to have such a good effect. As for the mass of energy in his hand, it is purely used to bluff people, and it has no real power.
"Then you can always tell if this guy's soul is still there, right?"
"This guy doesn't have a full soul at all, and all I can tell you is that his spirit body has collapsed. β
After a few moments of speaking, X-24's bodily functions have completely stopped, and this state should theoretically be dead. It's just that considering the peculiarity of Wolverine's genes, Ethan can't tell if this guy will suddenly come back to life in the future.
"To be on the safe side, throw it in hot molten iron or something. β
"Okay. β
Throwing a guy who is almost exactly like himself into molten steel? It's not a happy thing just to think about it, and Logan, who is in a bad mood, wants to take out his anger on Dr. Rice, but this doctor was killed by him with a claw the first time he found out.
Completely destroy what should be destroyed, this research facility really has everything, although nothing like molten steel has been found, but it is not impossible to find something that can completely destroy the body of X-24.
While Logan destroys the things that shouldn't be left behind, Ethan collects what he is interested in.
The entire institute was killed by the two of them, and I don't know how many times it went back and forth, but it was certain that there were no living people here. It wasn't clear if there were any distress signals, but even if someone came to the rescue, it wouldn't have been so fast, and they had plenty of time to put the finishing touches on it.
This trip is completely a trip to abuse, Ethan doesn't contribute much, the main force of the battle is Wolverine Logan, he needs to vent the resentment and anger accumulated in his heart, no one in this institute is innocent, they are very suitable for Logan to vent the negative emotions in his heart.
Ethan only promised on the periphery that no one would escape, and even the final battle with X-24 was solved by Logan alone, and he was simply watching from the sidelines.
When the battle was over, he began to gather all the knowledge in this institute, these guys are very thorough in the study of mutant genes, although Ethan is not going to turn himself into a mutant, but some of these things can also be used as a reference.
The biggest surprise was the formula of the Edelman alloy and a small part of the raw ore of the most important components of the Edelman alloy, which was the biggest gain of the trip.
Other than that, there wasn't much of value in this institute, and Ethan just packed some of the stockpiled weapons in his arsenal.
After the two of them were busy, they reunited together, and at this time it was still calm outside the institute, but both Ethan and Logan knew that there were already people waiting outside, waiting for the two of them to appear.
"What's next?"
Logan's combat experience is very rich, and after being delayed in the institute for so long, it is impossible for the black hand hidden behind the institute not to react at all.
"Rush out?"
With the strength of the two of them, no one can stop them if they want to rush out.
"Why bother with that effort?" Ethan waved his hand, the purpose of being in this world has been fully achieved, and he came here to make Logan no longer have nostalgia for this world, and now that everything is settled, there is no need to continue to stay here.
Several men resisted large bags full of ore, weapons and ammunition, and some new clothing, and then gathered around Ethan, as he had instructed.
"We just left this world, do you have any nostalgia? Normally we wouldn't be back here. β
Although Logan said, 'What can I have nostalgia for this kind of world?', he still unconsciously looked back around. It's a pity that the mess of various facilities that have been smashed and the corpses lying everywhere are there.
These things made the only remaining nostalgia disappear, and he turned his head and looked at Ethan firmly: "Let's go, I don't want to return to this world again, I hope your world is not too bad." β
Ethan's biggest purpose in coming into this world is to make himself happy. It's already an unexpected surprise to be able to fool Wolverine into his own boat, and the attached Laura won't talk about it for the time being, this guy can at least share a lot of his work, and he will have someone to chat with on the ship in the future.
It's just that compared to running around with Arthur before, the other party knows some of his own situation, and the person in front of him doesn't know at all, so he agreed to go with him in such a daze.
There is a key factor in the Professor's legacy, but it also proves that Wolverine is really disappointed in this world, he doesn't care what Ethan's world is like, he just wants to get out of here.
"Although the world I live in is not a good place, at least I can live a normal life. β
Explained some key points to pay attention to when shuttling, especially reminding Laura to activate the shuttle magic array, she must concentrate on thinking about 'walking with Ethan', and after making sure that it was correct, Ethan launched the teleportation magic array and left this world.
As for the commotion and trouble that will cause when they leave? That has nothing to do with Ethan......
It has nothing to do with Ethan over there, there is still trouble to be solved here, Wolverine complained to Ethan about this world with a speechless face after learning about the situation in this world.
"You told me the world wasn't bad, I really didn't see anything in the world that wasn't bad. β
Ethan spread his hands, compared to Logan's speechlessness at coming to such a world full of oceans, Laura was very happy as a child, perhaps she had never seen the sea with her own eyes since she was born, let alone had the opportunity to sail on a boat, so she was very curious about everything.
"At least it won't be targeted by the whole world. β
Logan had to admit that this was an advantage, compared to the previous environment where people could be plotted at any time, now he only had to worry about the source of food and water.
After Ethan introduced the situation of his ship, he found that he didn't even need to bother with the problem of Qingshui. There is not much in this world, but there is a lot of water, and there is still a miraculous water purification equipment on this obviously 'backward' sailing ship, which can provide a steady stream of clean water for them to use.
"Well, it's not that bad. β
As Ethan slowly introduced, Logan also found that this world is quite good, sailing freely on the sea every day, and the food stored by such a large ship is enough to eat for a long time, and some food can be replenished from the sea.
In addition, Ethan, a mage, can also take them to other worlds from time to time, and life will not be too boring.
After only three days, Logan didn't complain anymore and even began to enjoy life here.
