At the base of the dam of Lake Akaria, the guard soldiers outside the door of the detention room vaguely felt that something was wrong in their hearts, the closed iron door made a vibrating humming sound, and the pipes erected above shook off the dust, and the captain of the leader clenched his submachine gun, he couldn't help but feel nervous when he thought of the dangerous mutants in the commander's mouth.

The invisible force takes the detention room as the center and spreads rapidly in all directions, the powerful spiritual force interferes with reality, time seems to stand still in an instant, everyone's eyes are empty, and all thoughts are stagnant at this moment, as if the world is frozen.

The three people in the room, except for Jensen, the illusion master who completely fainted, the professor in a wheelchair, and Sean who was standing looked at each other, and their spiritual powers collided and clashed, when it came to manipulating the mind and reading consciousness, the young man was definitely not the opponent of the bald old man, but his purpose was not to defeat the professor.

"Professor, please come with me to the future - the future of mutants!"

The bald old man sitting in the center tilted his head slightly, and he saw a familiar figure in the flickering fragments of light and shadow.

"Logan ......" Professor called out Wolverine's name.

It's just that compared to the lone wolf with a cigar in his mouth and rudeness, Logan in the future time will look much more down-and-out, with a scruffy beard and unkempt, if he is not wearing a cheap black suit, he will simply live like a street bum, this strong man who has gone through hundreds of years, has a twilight atmosphere all over his body.

The overwhelming spiritual tide suddenly weakened, and the professor looked at Logan in a daze as he faced a group of car thieves, a fierce lone wolf who never aged, was actually knocked to the ground by several third-rate thugs, and even used his body to fend off the bullets fired for a rental car.

“…… What happened? The professor muttered, how could Wolverine Logan get to this point as the perfect weapon Stryker had ever made?

Then the bald old man saw a Wolverine that was completely different from the one in his memory, no longer as before, rampage, never flinching, and even his fiery temper was much more restrained. Logan had a gray beard, coughed constantly, took off the suit, and showed his old wounds, and his infinite healing ability seemed to be gradually lost.

He even no longer uses the name Logan, he uses the real name "James Howlett" to become an online car-hailing driver, opens the door with an umbrella for passengers, blurs his vision so blurred that he needs to wear glasses to see the label on the medicine bottle, where is there still a little bit of demeanor when he was young, and now Wolverine is like a down-and-out middle-aged man.

The professor's spirit continues to deepen, glimpsing the timeline of the future along the fragments of light and shadow, and his consciousness turns into a pair of empty eyes, looking down on the future world from top to bottom, silently watching Logan return from Texas to the Mexican border, and then seeing himself - Charles Xavier decades later.

Planted in the huge water tower in the sand, the professor "watched" Logan carry the medicine into the dim and dilapidated room, the wise and kind Professor Charles is now a crazy old man full of nonsense, like those old people in the hospital, paralyzed in bed, struggling to breathe, who would have thought that he was once the leader of the mutants.

"What the hell is going on?" The professor muttered to himself in distraction, he couldn't believe that this was his future!

As the spiritual tide subsides, Sean steps into the Sacred Temple, a spiritual fortress built by the Professor, which is indestructible and unshakable, and he walks in with ease.

"Still don't understand? Professor, even if you reverse the future and create a new timeline for mutants, the outcome is not destined to change. ”

"The humans of the future have once again found a way to exterminate you once again, and the mutants are gradually returning to the ordinary, and no new mutants will be born for twenty years, and your race will be strangled...... And you, Charles Xavier, the mutant leader with the strongest brain in the world, suffer from Alzheimer's disease, is that a mockery of fate against you? ”

The bald old man's eyes flashed with a sad look, he saw himself lying on the bed in the farmer's house, telling the guilt and pain in his heart, the professor had been delirious at the time of his illness, and had killed hundreds of innocent people at one point, in a kind of self-preservation psychology, he forgot this painful experience, but the warm dinner at the farmer's house finally made the professor remember again.

When Logan's replica pierces the old man's heart with his steel claws, Charles is silent, in the void consciousness of the past and the future, as if they are intersecting, just like the young professor talking to himself face-to-face in a timeline that reverses the future.

The flashes of light flew away and dissipated, and the bald old man's eyes were full of tears, and he fell into confusion, hesitation and self-doubt, if Sean wanted to kill the killer at this time, he could easily take the professor's life.

Looking back on the future he saw, Professor Charles felt compassion in his heart, Logan, who could not escape the erosion of time, took his incognito and hid at the Mexican border, he relied on drugs to control his condition every day, while Wolverine pulled all kinds of people to shuttle around the city, the only hope is to save enough money to buy a yacht, away from the crowds, to the high seas, and spend his last old age in peace.

In this story full of sadness and melancholy, he and Logan run all the way, running in all directions, but still can't change the final outcome - he is buried by a small river with lush water and grass, and Logan also dies with scars and wishes, returning to eternal peace.

Decades later, mutants have become comic book characters, no one believes they really existed, the X-Men, the Brotherhood, have all disappeared over time, turned into mottled bricks buried in the dust.

"Why do you know all this?" The professor raised his head, the sadness in his eyes could not be concealed, he still didn't want to believe that he could only end up like this after fighting all his life.

Even to death, he never saw the white dove of peace come. Even if you cover the old timeline and create a new future, it still can't change the end of the extinction of mutants.

"You can understand me as a traveler who travels in the long river of time and space, and this world is probably my terminus." Sean smiled kindly.

He looked at the bald old man with a complicated expression and said softly: "Peace never depends on prayer, but on initiative, I hope that mutants can join my camp - at least in my future territory, mutants will not be exterminated, they can live in the beautiful utopia you envisioned." ”

"Do I have a choice?" The professor's tone was bitter.

He understands the situation of mutants very well, and with Eric's appearance, the government has made up its mind to deal with this threat, even if it escapes from the dam base, but what can be done next? Find another place to hide, or join Magneto's brotherhood and carry the banner of rebellion against the human government with your friends?

Charles had figured out that a retreat was useless, but could fierce resistance be exchanged for a bright future?

"Professor, you can try to believe me first, although I am not a good person by your moral standards, but most of the time I keep my promises." Sean saw through the hesitation in the bald old man's heart and said with a smile.

No matter how much Professor Charles leans towards the side of humanity, when his compatriots are in danger of extinction, the spiritual leader of the Mutant Academy will eventually make a choice against his original will.

"You can convince me, but Eric won't compromise." The professor is well aware that if friends are not allowed to settle down, there will be no consensus among mutants.

With a smile on his lips, Sean said in a relaxed tone, "I've always been good at persuading people, whether it's verbal or otherwise. ”
