Chapter 44: Kayla's Decision
In response to Kayla's request for help, Professor X readily agreed.
With Professor X's current strength, if he wants to find Logan in the vast sea of people, he must use the help of a brainwave enhancement machine, so the professor took Bucky and Anna into the most mysterious room in the school.
"Welcome to the brainwave search room."
Professor X introduced the three Buckies to the three of them while controlling his wheelchair to enter the brainwave search room.
Although he had seen the brainwave search room in the movies for a long time, when Bucky actually stepped inside, he was still struck by the massive spherical structure. Being in it made Bucky feel an inexplicable sense of depression, and his mental power was imprisoned in his body and could not be invoked, which was the first time that Bucky had encountered this situation since he obtained the idea of a universe map.
"Maybe you should learn from the professor how this room imprisons mental power." Bucky thought to himself. Spiritual power is a powerful combat ability, and if you can know the method of imprisoning spiritual power, you may be able to play an unexpected role in battle.
Putting on his helmet, Professor X said to the three Bucky, "Mutants and normal humans have different brainwaves, and this system can enhance my ability to find mutants, and it should be possible to find Logan's whereabouts." Miss Frost, could you provide some basic information about Logan, it would be more convenient. ”
Kayla was still shocked by the magnificence of the brainwave search room at this time, and was asked by Professor X, only then did she come back to her senses and quickly said, "Okay, no problem!" Logan had lived a long time, maybe a hundred and fifty years old, but he looked no different from his thirties. Originally, he could stick three bone claws out of his fist, but after being modified by Colonel Stryker's experiments, he was now three metal claws. ”
Saying this, Kayla's voice was a little choked, and she was still blaming herself, if it weren't for herself, Logan wouldn't have accepted that painful transformation.
"That's enough, I'm going to start searching."
The moment Professor X began to use the brainwave augmenter, Bucky felt that the space he was in had changed, and the door to enter the brainwave search room suddenly moved away from him, and disappeared in a few breaths. Countless large and small blue points of light suddenly appeared around Bucky, making Bucky feel as if he was in an infinite universe.
Bucky's side, Anna and Kayla, were also startled by the sudden turn of events, and one of them almost fell to the ground without standing still.
"What are these?" Anna asked nervously.
At this time, there were countless whispers in the room, although the sound was small, but this situation really made Anna a little nervous.
"These are ordinary human beings on Earth, and every blue point of light represents a person." Professor X explained as he controlled the brainwave enhancement machine, and the next moment, the blue points of light disappeared and were replaced by countless red points of light.
"These red dots of light are all the mutants on Earth, and I can feel every single one of them. Let's find out where Logan is. ”
After saying that, Professor X closed his eyes, and countless red points of light quickly approached, and Anna and Kayla were surprised to find that each point of light was in the shape of a person, and they were doing different movements.
Kayla's eyes were staring at each red point of light without blinking, and although she didn't know if she could tell which one was Logan, she still didn't want to give up even the slightest hope.
Ten minutes later, Professor X suddenly opened his eyes and whispered to himself, "Found it!" ”
Meanwhile, in a casino bar in New Orleans, Rogan is sipping a sullen drink by the bar. Next to him, Remy, the card king, was skillfully playing with a deck of poker in his hand amid the exclamations of a group of scantily clad beauties.
"Hey man, I know it must be painful to lose your memory, but you have to look forward and look here, there are countless beautiful women, delicious food, and good wine, why should you dwell on the memories of the past, isn't it good to start a new life from here?"
Remy LeBeau was probably tired of playing, so he sat next to Logan with a bottle of whiskey, and poured a sip directly into the bottle without a wine glass, persuading Logan.
"No, it's not the life I want! I always feel that a very important part of my memory is missing, and I think it should be someone who is very important to me, and I must find this person! Logan was unmoved by the beauty, the food, and the wine that Remy Lebbo said, and his eyes were full of determination.
After holding his head in his hands and thinking for a moment, Logan said: "The only memory I have now is the war, yes, it is World War II, I have the scene of the atomic bombing in my memory, maybe I should go to Japan." ”
"Man, it's been almost fifty years since World War II ended, and you're in your thirties no matter how you look at it, you must have seen the atomic bomb explosion in the movies." Remy Lebo probably thought that Logan was already a little nervous, and shook his head helplessly.
At this moment, a voice suddenly appeared in Logan's head: "Logan, where are you now?" Kayla is waiting for you! ”
The voice that suddenly appeared in his head startled Logan, and he immediately jumped up from his seat, knocking over several wine glasses on the bar, and Edelman's claws quickly stretched out from his fists, assuming a defensive posture, looking around nervously, looking for who was talking to him.
Logan's movements immediately caused the screams of the people around him, and the claws that stretched out from his fist revealed Logan's mutant identity, and in a few seconds, a vacuum was formed within four or five meters around Logan.
"What's going on, Logan, relax, put your claws away first!"
Remy LeBeau put his hands in front of him, looking at Logan vigilantly, he knew very well Logan's combat power, if he went crazy here, he could only hope that the owner of this casino had purchased a huge amount of insurance.
"Shh Logan made a silent gesture and whispered, "Just now a person's voice appeared directly in my head, asking for my location. ”
After listening to Logan's explanation, Remy Lebo's face also changed, he is also well-informed and knows the abilities of many mutants, and this ability to directly make voices appear in his mind suddenly made Remy Lebo think of telepathic ability. In Remy LeBeau's understanding, mutants with telepathic abilities are not easy to mess with, and may be able to unknowingly control their minds and make themselves a tool for others.
A telepathic who suddenly appeared, although Remy Lebo did not know the purpose of the person, but the first reaction was to stay away from the telepath, so as not to control himself or Logan.
"Let's go! Let's get out of here! ”
Remy LeBeau immediately pulled Logan out of the casino and drove off to the outskirts. In Remy Lebeau's opinion, telepathic abilities are terrifying, but as long as they are away from the telepath, they can get rid of each other. It's a pity that Remy LeBeau doesn't know that there is a device called a brainwave enhancement machine in this world, and Professor X can communicate with anyone around the world through the brainwave enhancement machine.
"Logan, where are you going? I'm a friend of Kayla, and Kayla is waiting for you in New York right now! ”
"Who are you? And who is Kayla? How do you know me? ”
Hearing Professor X's voice again, Logan had regained some composure, frowned, and asked loudly.
At this time, Professor X was also very confused and couldn't understand what Logan said. Curious, Professor X further probed Logan's memories, but what he saw was indeed a blank space, only a few scattered images, all of which were scenes of war.
"Found Logan." In the brainwave search room, Professor X opened his eyes and spoke to Kayla.
"Logan, where is he, he ...... Is he okay? Hearing the professor's words, Kayla finally relented, and as long as Logan was okay, she was satisfied.
"Logan is fine now, he's healthy." After a pause, looking at Kayla with a happy face at this time, Professor X continued: "But Logan, he has amnesia, he has lost his old memories, and now he is in New Orleans, with another mutant, he should be looking for his lost memories." ”
Listening to Professor X's words, Bucky sighed deeply, although his arrival has changed many things, there are also some things that he can't change. Although his arrival changed Kayla's fate, Logan still lost his memory and forgot Kayla.
When Kayla heard the news, she was also struck by lightning, her body shook, and she almost fell, but fortunately, Anna on the side helped her in time.
"Logan, he ...... He doesn't remember me? ”
Kayla's voice was a little sad, she finally got rid of Colonel Stryker's control and was able to live a carefree life with Logan, but at this time, Logan lost her memory, how could this not make Kayla sad.
Professor X said helplessly, "I'm sorry, Kayla, Logan really doesn't remember you. ”
"Professor, can't your abilities allow Logan to regain his lost memories?" Anna helped Kayla and asked the professor eagerly, looking at her sad sister, Anna's heart was not happy.
"Logan's amnesia is due to brain damage, not telepathic abilities that can help him."
Looking at Kayla who was crying silently, Professor X couldn't bear it and hesitated for a long time before saying to Kayla: "I can control Logan and let him come to New York, maybe Logan can remember something after meeting you." ”
Anna and Kayla didn't think there was anything special about Professor X's words, they just thought that Professor X was willing to help them and help Logan. But Bucky was taken aback, although Professor X can be called the most powerful telepathic in the world, but unless it is faced with the life and death of many people, Professor X will never take the initiative to control a person's behavior, I didn't expect that the current Professor X is willing to help Kayla to such a point, and even to some extent has violated his usual rules of life.
However, to Bucky's surprise, after only a moment of thought, Kayla refused Professor X's help and said, "No, thank you Professor for your kindness, but let me go to Logan, he won't like to be controlled." ”
Kayla's refusal caused Bucky and Professor X to immediately look up to her. Although Kayla is a mutant, her ability is a bit weak, although touch hypnosis can control people's behavior, but she must first meet others to do it, and Kayla's ability is limited, many mutants with strong mental power and even ordinary people with strong will, Kayla is difficult to control.
There may be a lot of danger in the process of finding Logan, there may be mutant intervention, there may be military capture, and there may even be attacks by Rogen himself. You must know that Logan is not a harmless little sheep, he is a Wolverine, a powerful mutant, no one can guarantee that Logan after amnesia will treat Kayla like before, maybe when Kayla comes to the door, she will be greeted by Logan's Edelman alloy claws.
Now there is an easy path in front of Kayla, as long as she waits at the school, Professor X can control Logan to come to the school to meet her. But for Logan's sake, Kayla didn't want Rogan to be controlled, even if it was well-intentioned, so she chose a much more difficult path to find Logan by herself.
"No, sister, you can't go alone, it's too dangerous!"
Obviously, Anna also thought about the dangers in this process, and she didn't want Kayla to take any risks, and she didn't want her sister who had just returned to her side to encounter any more dangers.
Gently patting Anna on the shoulder, Kayla said softly, "Logan is my husband, I can't just leave him alone." In the past, I couldn't worry about you Anna, but now that Bucky takes care of you, I have nothing to worry about. When my sister finds Logan and helps him recover his memory, we will go back to New York, and we sisters will never be separated again. ”
Anna wanted to say more, but looking at Kayla's resolute face, she finally swallowed what she was about to say back in her stomach and just hugged Kayla quietly.
In New Orleans, next to a farm in the suburbs, Remy Lebbo is panting in a sports car. Just now, in order to avoid the possible telepath, Remy Lebo drove the car to one hundred and eighty miles, and after passing away from several car crashes and deaths, even a powerful mutant like Remy Lebo felt that his heartbeat had also accelerated to more than one hundred and eighty.
"It's been more than twenty kilometers away from the casino just now in the past few minutes, and no matter how powerful a telepathic is, it is impossible to control people twenty kilometers away, and we are safe now." Patting Logan on the shoulder, Remy Lebo breathed a sigh of relief.
But Logan was still frowning at this time, and was silent for a long time before saying: "Maybe I should get in touch with that telepath, looking at his appearance, he knows my past, and the Kayla he said may also be my ......"
At this moment, Professor X's voice appeared in Logan's mind again: "Logan, Kayla is your wife, she is going to look for you, remember, Kayla is your wife, don't hurt her." ”
Remy Lebbo looked at Logan, who was suddenly stunned in the middle of speaking, and felt that something was wrong, and was about to start the car again and leave here.
But Logan grabbed the steering wheel, shook his head, and said, "Don't run, she's coming." ”
"She, who?"
"Probably mine...... Wife. ”
