Chapter 19: The Tide of Spiritual Power (Part 3)

Mexico is in the tropics, and the afternoon sun is very dazzling, and the clouds of water vapor in the sky cannot resist the scorching sun.

In this abandoned steel smelter, a figure dressed in a heavy cotton robe, with a hat, a mask, and sand-proof sunglasses, wrapped all over his body, swayed towards the factory in the middle.

He was like a ghost, walking in the sun.

"Click-la-la-......"

The rusty iron door of the factory was slowly pushed open, and then a black elongated car drove straight into the factory, stopping directly in front of the side door of the processing plant.

Xia Jie pushed the car door and stood on the ground, looking at the rusty factory, and then at the huge dumped water tank on the left, and couldn't help but feel a sense of sympathy.

Charles, the strongest brain in the mutant world, is now surviving in this iron box shaped like a garbage dump, how deplorable.

Logan got out of the car and walked over and explained, "This is already a very good place, you know, in order to shield the doctor's induction, it is not easy to find such a large iron box. ”

"Yes, indeed."

Xia Jie agreed, and followed Logan to push open the iron door and walk in.

Creak......

The iron door made the sound of rust, and as soon as you entered the door, you could hear the sound of Charles's illness coming from the back of the factory, because the factory and the water tank were only a few meters apart, so I listened very carefully.

Charles was muttering some quotes from books, while inside the factory, a bald, albinistic man was looking down and collecting something.

"He wasn't in great shape today."

The bald man put the cup holder, raised his head, looked at Logan who had put down the old clothes package and said.

"How was it better that day......?" Logan shook his head and placed the medicine bag on the table.

"He should have taken his medication six hours ago." The man came over to get the medicine, but when he walked past the shelf, he saw a man in black standing beside him.

When he saw the other party's yellow face and bulging muscles, his head moved, and based on previous intelligence information, he recognized Xia Jie almost immediately.

"Are you, Natsu?"

"Caliban?"

Xia Jie smiled slightly, the other party's figure that was staggered because of his old age, as well as his white face, were very easy to identify.

Caliban was embarrassed and at a loss, and his emaciated fingers gestured at Logan, signaling Xia Jie not to misunderstand.

"Hey, as you can see, we're ...... now It's a friend. ”

This point, when the car was close to the metal factory, Logan mentioned that after the disaster a year ago, he could not take care of Charles and make money to treat him alone, so the only remaining mutant Caliban became one of his helpers.

"I know, you don't have to worry about that."

Xia Jie looked at Caliban's cramped explanation and couldn't help but feel a little funny.

Caliban, the leader of an intelligence trafficker active in the mutant and human worlds, is both good and evil, and his ability is that his nose is 100 times more sensitive than that of dogs, and he has extremely strong tracking ability.

But when the end of the mutants came, he was completely useless. He can only survive like a mouse in the corner of the world, so when Logan finds him, he agrees without hesitation, and just like that, the three of them hide in this abandoned steel mill and depend on each other for their lives.

Today's Caliban is more like a housewife, he has to take urine on Charles every day, including feeding him medicine, cleaning Logan's dirty clothes, sewing bullet holes in his shirt, and preparing three meals a day, keeping this factory full of scrap metal and filth as warm as home.

He was even so considerate that he added a table of green potted plants to Charles's water room.

"That's good......" Caliban saw that Xia Jie didn't make any moves, so he relieved himself and opened the rolled medical paper bag to take a look.

When he saw the two or three bottles of pills inside, he suddenly became anxious and complained to Logan: "You know, these are not enough at all, and they can't last a week." ”

What does it mean to not have enough medicine? It means that Charles could have a seizure at any time, and that kind of fear of soul tremor, he didn't want to experience at all.

"I'll figure it out, isn't there a summer now? It will be fine in the future. ”

Logan pointed at Xia Jie and signaled that there would be another helper in the future, and this also made Caliban immediately eliminate that bit of complaint.

He clearly knows how strong the X-Men are, so to speak, just as Logan is in good condition, even if he goes to chop wood and carry wood, he can easily feed Charles, and he doesn't need to live so poorly.

But even so, Caliban still didn't give Rogan a good face, he raised the medicine bag in his hand and put it straight in front of Logan: "It's your turn, I've been tossing all night!" ”

God is pitiful, Charles, who is like a child, can toss people more than ten children, that is a spiritual power master who can easily wipe out his life if he is not careful.

Therefore, on the night when Charles had no follow-up medicine, Caliban did not dare to sleep, and waited in the water room all the time, until Logan and the others returned, and he returned to the factory tired.

"Got it." Logan has recovered a certain amount of self-healing ability, and even if he runs the list all night, he is full of energy at the moment, so he is not fighting with Caliban like in the original plot. "Let's go, Xia, you want to meet Charles, too."

"Of course."

Xia Jie nodded, he really wanted to see if this spiritual power master of the mutant world could still spy on his mind or affect him in the state of suppressing his body soul in his Five Elements Array.

Caliban looked at the figures of the two, and the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Come on, I'll rest, if you want to eat, there's something in the refrigerator." ”

He said this mainly to Xia Jie, he knew Logan's schedule very well, and usually at this time, Logan would sleep until the next day, so he didn't prepare extra hot food at all.

Xia Jie was so concerned by this strange concern that he laughed and said, "Okay, you can rest." ”

And Logan didn't even raise his head, he lowered his body and searched for something in the box, and Caliban seemed to remember something and leaned over.

"By the way, he told me last night that he was communicating with someone."

Logan patted the xenon lamp on the wall speechlessly, continued to rummage impatiently, and retorted: "No one can communicate with his will!" ”

"Don't say it so absolutely, he explained a lot of details, which is very true. I thought the tank would keep him out, but he didn't work at all......"

This kind of trivial thoughts of family chores is like a magic sound in the brain, which makes Logan's head big when he listens to it.

In addition, he turned over and over, but he couldn't find the syringe he needed, and at this moment he also said angrily: "Please stop for a while, okay?!" ”

Caliban's tone suddenly choked, and he thought: I kindly reminded me, but you told me to stop?

He angrily turned his head and left with the next sentence: "Left below." ”

Logan turned around helplessly, and finally saw what he needed in an open wooden box.

This seems to be a homely vindictiveness, which makes Xia Jie extremely embarrassed, and he can't interject, so he can only pretend not to hear.

The two of them went out the back door, and there was even an iron shelf outside, drying clothes, and in front of them was the dumped water tank.

At this moment, the recitation from the water tank is getting louder and louder, containing a strong personal emotion. And this situation occurs in a person with Alzheimer's, which means that his mind has begun to go insane.

Logan explained as he opened the iron door: "As long as he takes the medicine, he will be stabilized, you don't have to worry." ”

"I know."

Xia Jie knows very well that although Charles's head is aging, the drugs can suppress his dementia, and with the support of strong mental power, he is still very peaceful most of the time.

As soon as you enter, the light around you dimmed, and the room was lit only by a few loopholes overhead, which was enough to see in the sunlight, and a bald old man in high spirits roamed around the water tank in an automatic wheelchair.

"Boom."

The iron gate was closed by Logan, this was to prevent Charles from escaping when he fell ill, he walked quickly to the table, took the medicine and drew the needle in one go, but Charles controlled the wheelchair to avoid him.

"Huh?"

Xia Jie looked at the wheelchair rolling everywhere, stretched out his hand to grab it, and the iron frame suddenly stopped in front of Logan.

Charles pushed the rocker of the wheelchair vigorously, but the wheelchair did not move at all, which made him a little displeased, and thought that Logan was in his way, and scolded:

"Who are you? Mr! Excuse me! ”

Rogan threw a grateful look at Xia Jie, and then ignored Charles's scolding, leaned down directly and rolled up his sleeves, finding the blood vessels and preparing for injection.

"I said it! Get out of the way! ”

Unexpectedly, Charles struggled violently as if he was enraged, but he was already paralyzed and his wheelchair was confined, how could he avoid Logan's hand in this square inch?

And he looked at the approaching needle, his expression was suddenly full of horror, he kept twisting his body, his face turned red, and he roared angrily:

"I know who you are, you're the guy who always puts me to sleep! Don't try to come near me again! ”

Immediately, at the moment when Charles was furious, the whole world seemed to be filled with a piercing scream, and that spiritual power was piled up in all directions in pure quantity, like a mass of gel, freezing everyone's thinking and sanity.

"Buzz~~Buzz~~Buzz~~"

In this case, only a person with strong enough mental strength can get rid of this simple confinement. Or, the body can continue to heal itself, and at the cost of the rapid burning of brain cells, it can burst out with a burst of strength to compete with Charles, and briefly break free from this bondage.

And the moment Xia Jie had a seizure with Charles, he could feel the power of the five elements in his body rise suddenly, blocking Charles's spiritual power from entering his mind.

At the same time, the wave of spiritual power from the outside world also wrapped him in Tuantuantuan, and the feeling was like standing in the water, surrounded by resistance and pressure.

Xia Jie easily stretched out his hand and grabbed it, but found that he couldn't touch this invisible force at all.

He smiled suddenly: "Heh, pure spiritual power suppression? ”

This level of power is a kind of suppression of the human spirit, but the influence on the material is still too weak.
