Chapter 136: Terminally Ill

All the facilities on the floating island are very complete, and there will naturally be no shortage of hospitals, which are next to X Academy.

Not long after Emma's psychic transmission, a young man dressed in gold ran in quickly, his round face with a faint look of excitement. It was the first time he had set foot in the Floating Temple since joining the Mutant House.

"Joshua, come and see Alex." Seeing the person coming, Emma hurriedly greeted and pointed to Alex who was sitting in the chair with a wry smile, looking a little anxious.

Alex didn't think he was sick, but now neither Emma nor Monroe was allowed to raise objections at all, so he had to passively accept it. However, seeing that the visitor didn't take anything, Alex couldn't help but be a little surprised, is it still to learn Chinese medicine "look and hear"?

Seeming to see Alex's doubts, Emma pointed to the golden youth and introduced: "This is Joshua Verley, whose ability is to be able to heal other people's injuries, so far there is no disease that he can't cure, the most important medical talent in the mutant family, and also a member of the X-Men." ”

"And the ability to do that?" Alex looked at the shy young man in front of him with a look of surprise, and couldn't help but marvel, although he had long known that mutants' mutant abilities were strange, he didn't expect that there would be such abilities, "It's a panacea!" ”

Emma smiled when she heard this, pointed at Joshua and said, "Joshua's code name is the elixir!" ”

Joshua smiled humbly, glanced at Alex, and took the initiative to reach out and grab Alex's palm, and his golden body suddenly brightened and became more and more brilliant.

Alex looked down at Joshua's palm, and then looked Joshua up and down. Curious about his abilities. I can't even resist wanting to make a copy.

I'm thinking nonsense. Alex suddenly found that his palm was loose, and he suddenly came to his senses, looked up, and found that Joshua was looking at him with a serious face on his face, and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?" ”

On the side, Emma and Monroe also noticed that something was wrong with Joshua, and they couldn't help but jump in their hearts, and they panicked, and asked quickly, "What's wrong?" Joshua? ”

"The teacher's body is filled with a strange toxin, and my abilities can't dispel them." Joshua glanced at Alex, turned to look at Emma, and explained with a hint of crying, "The toxin is very stubborn, I just dispelled it, and it will come out again in an instant, and it will be inexhaustible. ”

"Poisoned?" Alex looked at Joshua with a ridiculous expression, and suddenly thought of those quacks in his previous life, and he was actually a little angry.

Emma didn't believe Joshua's words at first. How could Alex have been poisoned? However, when she secretly searched Joshua's consciousness using telepathy, she saw that all the cells in Alex's body were covered in a layer of black. A face suddenly turned pale, without a trace of blood.

"How so?" Emma slumped into her chair and looked up at Joshua with a panicked expression on her face, "Is there really no way to treat it?" ”

Joshua smiled bitterly and shook his head, the expression on his face was a little gloomy: "My ability is still too weak!" ”

Seeing that Joshua and Emma were talking word by word, ignoring themselves, Alex grabbed Joshua's hand a little angrily, gave up Alex's ability and copied Joshua's ability: "I want to see what the hell is going on with me!" With that in mind, Alex activated Joshua's abilities.

Suddenly, Alex saw his own body, which was different from the observation and perception under the control of energy, but really seen, as if under a high-powered microscope, even every cell could be seen clearly.

However, to Alex's horror, Alex found that the cells of his body were completely covered in a layer of black, and the whole body, all the cells, without exception.

"What the hell is going on?!" Frightened by the darkness in his body, Alex looked up at Joshua with a deep horror in confusion. Alex believed he was really poisoned, but Alex didn't know when or where he was poisoned!

Joshua glanced at Alex and continued to answer Emma's question: "At this stage, the toxin has not invaded the cells, and it will only affect the teacher's body for the time being, and will not endanger his life. After a pause, Joshua frowned, hesitated for a moment and continued, "However, I can't tell what will happen in the future, and I don't know what this toxin is." ”

Alex fell silent when he heard this, the meaning of Joshua's words was very simple, his life was in danger at any time! Thinking of this, Alex couldn't help but panic, trying his best to recall the place where he might be poisoned, but he couldn't find any clues after thinking about it.

After such a while, many people had already rushed over after getting the news, and Crystal sat down next to Alex before Howard, and asked with a small face: "Alex, have you provoked anyone recently?" ”

"Mandarin!" After waking up from his slumber, Alex did not come into contact with many enemies, and the first thing that came to mind was Mandarin.

Hearing Alex's answer, everyone fell silent, the mystery and strength of Mandarin They have all heard Alex say, and it is from the mysterious East, and it is very likely that he will be poisoned.

Seeing that his position was robbed, Howard simply stood in front of Alex, pondered for a moment, turned his head to look at Joshua and asked, "Joshua, can you extract some toxins, and I'll see if I can configure an antidote?" "Howard wasn't an expert on the subject, but he knew someone who had the talent to do it.

Joshua nodded, and was about to reach out to grab Alex's palm, but found that Alex's palm had an extra black substance, wrapped in a transparent energy shield, which was the toxin in Alex's body.

Howard also pulled out a glass bottle out of nowhere, ready to fill it with toxin.

But something surprising happened, after the toxin left the energy barrier, it turned into fly ash in an instant, and then disappeared completely, as if it didn't exist at all.

"What's going on?!"

Everyone was slightly stunned, and then they all turned their heads to look at Joshua, not even Alex. Although he copied Joshua's abilities, Alex knew that knowledge and experience could not be copied, and that was Joshua's most important asset.

Sure enough, after Joshua was slightly shocked after seeing this scene, his face suddenly changed, as if he had seen something terrifying: "It turned out to be an energy toxin!" ”

"Energy toxin?" The odd rankings left everyone scratching their heads.

"Energy toxins are a class of toxins that are transmitted and parasitic through energy, which is very vicious." Joshua took a deep breath and explained with a solemn expression, "Once poisoned, it is almost impossible to dispel it, because the human body is full of energy, except death!" ”

Everyone froze when they heard this, and Monroe cried on the spot.

Alex was also a little dazed, and after a while, he suddenly thought of something, gritted his teeth and spit out a sentence: "Black Queen!" (To be continued......)
