266, old acquaintances

The rain was pouring in, and the dark clouds covered the sky.

The silver snake-like electric light pierced the sky, and there was a muffled rumbling sound, and Logan strode out of the bathroom, his hair spread and his eyes frowning, like an angry wolf. Twenty minutes earlier, he had just finished the worst bath of his life.

The three obasan in kimonos cleaned Logan's body with a long brush that squeezed on his skin, and he was still babbling in Japanese he didn't understand, making people dizzy, and almost wanted to show off his pair of Erdman alloy claws when he encountered Wolverine, who never flinched from his enemies.

It is true that although he has been in the deep mountains and old forests for a while, the sanitary conditions there are not good enough, and he lived like a homeless man before he came to Tokyo, but the process of taking a bath just now made Logan have the illusion of being raped.

Located in Tokyo Bay, the Shishida Mansion occupies a vast area and is a great place to enjoy the scenery from the river and the tall buildings outside.

Rogan followed the red-haired woman Xue Xu, who changed into a kimono, and walked in the corridor full of ancient style, on the right is a classical screen painted with famous paintings of the Warring States period, and you can see through the open shoji on the left, and there are vigilant suit-looking bodyguards patrolling under the eaves every other distance, a tense and vigilant scene.

In fact, Logan still has an unreal dreaminess of being in this old mansion in Tokyo, where he lived like a savage in the mountains of a small Canadian town ten hours ago.

Since Stryker's death, the lone wolf, who has wandered around and has no fixed home, has left the mutant academy as a safe haven and embarked on a journey to the ends of the world again.

As the professor said, for Logan, the long life is a curse that cannot be shaken off, which means that he is always alone, without the warmth of family and love.

The seemingly young and strong Wolverine, who is actually twice as old as Charles, first joined the Mutant Academy, in addition to the attraction of his compatriots, more to recover his lost memories, but unfortunately when Stryker was buried under the dam base of Lake Akaria, this unknown past also passed away, never to see the light of day.

Even though the phoenix violin briefly attracted Logan for a while, Wolverine couldn't stay for long, and there was no reason to stay, after the professor reached a cooperation with Sean, he packed his bags and left the country, until the red-haired woman named Xue Xu in front of him found him.

Pushing open the two heavy wooden doors painted with ancient dragons, Rogan saw Shishida Ichiro who he was going to see on this trip, and the old man lying on the hospital bed was also at the helm of Shishida Pharmaceutical, a business giant who could shake the island country with a stomp of his foot.

Logan stepped into the intensive care unit, where various large instruments for measuring vital signs were placed, and a blonde woman wearing a mask called the shots, and the other party seemed to be Shida's personal doctor, even the loose white coat could not hide the graceful curves.

“…… Wolverine. ”

Seeing Rogan coming over, Yashida, who was lying on the multi-point molding testing bed, screamed, this old man whose life was about to come to an end, his face was full of gray and black age spots and wrinkles, like a candle in the wind.

"You look the same as before, but I'm not surprised......"

Yashida's cloudy eyes lit up as he dismissed the personal doctor named Green, and the multi-point molded metal bed was like a moving spine, supporting the old man's sick body.

"For all these years, I've wanted to thank you for saving my life......"

Shida said the last paragraph, he had to rest breathlessly for a while, Rogan swept the instrument used to monitor vital signs, even if he didn't know anything about medicine, but from the viscera pictures and line data presented on the screen, it could be roughly seen that this old man in charge of a giant company was indeed about to die under the torture of illness.

"This painting was brought from where I was born, and he depicts the bravery and skill of ninjas, warriors who have served my family for centuries."

Seeing that Logan's gaze stayed on a huge screen, Shida explained out loud.

The screen depicts a fierce battle between a black-clothed ninja and a samurai on horseback and armor, with swords and swords flying and flesh flying, presenting a cold feeling of slaughter.

"I sent someone to invite you over, not just to thank you." Shida said seriously. "Logan, I want to repay you by giving you something unique, a gift worthy of your life-saving grace to me!"

"I don't need anything in return."

Rogan shook his head, his acquaintance with Shida at the end of World War II, in the summer of 1945, when he was reduced to a prisoner of Japanese soldiers and imprisoned with a group of American GIs.

Due to his physical strength and fiery and reckless personality, Rogan received special treatment, and he was locked up in a well-chained shaft by the Japanese until the day, when a B-29 fighter dropped an atomic bomb on Nagasaki, and Shidaichi Lang was on the scene.

Although the defeat of the Japanese army was assured, their frantic resistance in Okinawa and other places led to a large number of casualties among Allied officers and soldiers, and in order to force Japan to surrender as soon as possible, the then President of the United States Harry Truman and high-ranking military personnel chose to drop atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

As the eldest son of the family, Shishida Ichi Lang was supposed to die in that battle and was written on the list of the dead, but out of a kind accident, he survived.

Fearing death, unwilling to commit suicide and serve the country with jade shattered, Shida saw the dazzling white light rising, followed by a huge explosion, the fire and smoke like a creeping beast opening its bloody mouth, devouring all the buildings and life, he froze in place, holding the katana in his hand at a loss.

Wolverine Logan rescued Yashida and threw the frightened Japanese soldier into the bottom of the well, and then survived the aftermath of the atomic bombing with a strong body - young Shishida saw with his own eyes that this strong man survived the terrible shock wave and the blazing fire, even if the entire flesh and blood burned to the point that it was not human, but in less than two minutes, the fatal horror injuries were all intact!

"Eternal life is a curse, it haunts you like a ghost, and every loss makes you miserable, in this repeated process exhausts all faith in survival, loses its original purpose, and becomes a lone wolf, a samurai without a master......"

After a few gasps, there seemed to be a surge of strength in Yashida's body, he barely supported himself to sit up, stared at Logan with burning eyes, and said word by word: "I can end your eternal life and make you an ordinary person." ”

"You've been struggling with pain for too long, Logan, and I know your past."

Shida waved his hand, and Xue Xu, who was standing on the side, handed over a thick document, which was the memory that Wolverine had been looking for, and through the family and other secret channels, the other party had investigated all this in great detail. 8)
