45. The twilight wolf returns

The fight between the two Logan became white-hot at the moment of the battle, and the old wolf who was torn apart and kicked by the old wolf hit the pillar, causing bricks and stones to splash everywhere and dust.

Seeing that the old man was falling into disadvantage, Harley shouted and asked the Venom suit to complete the "helmet cover", and she grabbed the baseball bat in high spirits and wanted to step forward to help, but was stopped by Mason.

He said:

Logan's beast perception is recovering, and in this state, he is like a beast, he will poke whoever dares to approach, and no matter how powerful the venom is, it can't stop the Edman alloy claws.

It's useless for us to stay here.

Let's go, the Red Skull is ahead, but you'll have to take this with you first. ”

Mason pulled Harley forward, took out Wan's helmet from his bag and buckled it to Harley's head, telling Harley not to take it off while taking out the penguin umbrella and holding it in his hand.

They made their way down, and as they entered the basement of the Spicy Palace, a psychic force erupted like an ambush trap, just as Mason had expected.

The invisible force turned into a strong wind, making the golden apple on Mason's penguin umbrella shine for a moment.

It was an invisible clash of psychic powers, and as a result, Mason was slightly weaker, and his spirit was impacted, but the cap's Occlumency was no big deal.

It's just that the golden apple in front of him burst out a crack in silence.

Harley's wearing Magneto's helmet immune to all psychic distractions made her feel nothing about the ferocious confrontation, but seeing that her sweetheart was at a disadvantage, Harley immediately lifted her baseball bat and protected Mason.

She wants to protect Mr. K!

She's not afraid of anything!

"Bang Bang Bang"

The sound of applause rang out from the dark basement in front of them, and a tall, well-proportioned figure stood up, and with a snap of his fingers, the lights turned on, exposing the corpse-strewn basement to the two of them.

The Red Skull, dressed in the captain's suit, holds a blood-stained shield, an ebony sword in his other hand with a mechanical glove, and a purple gem embedded in his armor.

Beside the scarlet-faced Doomsday President are the fallen Hydra Guards, who, judging by their wounds, must have been killed by an unprepared attack.

Maybe these guys who obey the dark and evil don't know until they die, what taboo did they commit to end up like this?

"You killed them? Why? ”

Mason held the penguin umbrella and let the golden apple release a psychic force field to envelop him, to avoid being controlled and rewritten by the strange psychic power that the Red Skull possessed at this time.

This creature was like a moving source of distortion, and the strange psychic radiation emanating from around him allowed him to affect almost anything that came near him.

Mason stared at the guy in front of him, and then noticed the bloody pile of corpses at the other man's feet, he pushed the frame of the glass, and said:

"Is this some kind of damn welcome ritual?"

"Kill if I want! How can there be so many reasons, uninvited guest Mason Cooper. ”

His Excellency the Doomsday President grinned, and with a squeeze of his fingers, a golden identity card jumped into his palm.

This represented his status as an A-class member, which also made Mason pick his eyes, and then pinched out his silver identity card as a B-class personnel.

It's like identity verification before you start a fight.

This is the "traditional etiquette" before the stars and colleagues draw their knives to kill each other, and in literary terms, it may be described as drinking in a golden cup or something, uh, I forgot about it later.

The heavily armed Red Skull looked Mason up and down, and after a few seconds, said:

"Well, you're younger than I thought, and you're a hero. You may not know it, but when you entered this world, I already knew that Team K, who had been in the limelight recently, had come to visit me.

Guess who, told me the news? ”

"Warlock?"

Mason's mind changed sharply, and then he said with an unchanged face:

"Or is there a traitor on the mutant utopia? Wait a minute! Since I haven't woken up yet, my collaborators haven't informed me of the news.

I guess Miss Anna's Aix squad still has your guys? ”

"Clever!"

The Red Skull laughed and said:

"Warlocks value you very much, and after learning of your hidden identity, they secretly ordered me to 'help' you to complete your proper awakening of power.

Well, in case you don't know, my dear Mason friend, all of the subjects of Weapon X have 'obedience procedures' written into their genes in advance.

And I've just shown you how powerful it is, how does it feel to be beaten by the Hydra Troopers? ”

"Do you want me to remind you?"

Mason said coldly:

"Your Hydra Men are all hung up! They were really cool when they appeared, but the ending of the crotch pull made me give a spicy evaluation, and that's it. ”

"Kill! You can all kill! Kill as you like! It's just consumables, and is there any difference between consumption here and consumption in other worlds? Since it's all death, there's no such thing as superiority or inferiority. ”

The Red Skull was not provoked at all, he grinned a horrible grin on that hideous face, and said:

"All I need is a bunch of nutrients anyway, and in two months I'll have a new batch of awesome guys, and I don't care where they're going.

It's you.

Mason, Mason, you really shouldn't have come, you can't find much strength in your poor hometown.

Only despair, that's all. ”

"Really? But I don't think so. ”

Mason thinks that this red skeleton is a little too much, maybe he is stalling for time?

So he replied expressionlessly:

"Since you have the chance to win, why don't you stop me from entering the Weapon X Project Base to complete my 'self-throwing net', and save us from having to fight here."

"You want to be beautiful!"

The Red Skull sneered and said:

"The warlock asks me to do this, but must I obey? I want your pretty eyes to be my collection rather than giving him what he wants.

Hey, just a traitor, what kind of face to command me. ”

"Don't listen to his nonsense, it's just a psychological tactic."

In the confrontation between the two sides, the figure of the ghost Consus was projected next to Mason, and the Isu biologist said in a very positive voice:

"Even if you really have some strange obedience program in your genes, it's absolutely ineffective now! Don't forget, Mason, you already have Isu blood.

The so-called personality obedience program written by the double helix DNA cannot be effective under the more complex triple helix DNA system.

Just like all electronic programs can only be overwritten from complex to simple, and it is impossible to modify more advanced programs from backward data.

His threats and intimidation mean nothing to you. ”

"I'm not worried about that."

Mason stared at the red skull in front of him, his lips moved slightly, and he whispered:

"Even if that obedience procedure is real, even if it does work, it can't control me."

The captain's self-confidence is not unfounded.

After all, even this body was "picked up" by him when he was reborn, and the soul that the program could control had long since disappeared when the wine bottle was smashed.

The facts of the past have also proved that even the mighty Destiny Lord Mephisto cannot control Mason with a curse, let alone a mere "genetic loyalty lock"?

He has absolute confidence in his golden finger.

"I keep a lot of secrets, those East XZ can't be taken out in my stomach to share, it is like sulfuric acid corroding my heart, just like a pregnant woman, it makes me feel bad not to reveal the secret!

Let me tell you more, little Mason. ”

The crazy red skull walks on the blood-stained ground in the riding boots of the crunchy officer's accompaniment, just like the classic villains who like to talk more when their plots succeed.

He said to Mason:

"Project Weapon X has been in the service of the Council of Hope from the very beginning, and these mutants who have been cut off as soon as they are born are the 'cherished resources' of our world.

After all, even if they are sitting on a parallel world system, they can't cut the conquerors like leeks.

But with the weapon X project

As long as you wait patiently, you can have a steady stream of genuine X-Men as cannon fodder, tsk, it's really a sure-fire deal.

Well, you should be a little more angry, like the anger and desperation she showed when I told this secret to another guy who tried to break in here and was caught by me sixteen years ago.

I will never forget that pain. ”

The Red Skull looked at the expressionless Mason in surprise.

He carefully observed the change in Mason's expression, and after confirming that Mason was not angry or angry, he shook his head and said:

"Okay, okay, it seems that you lack a sense of identity and care for your fellow citizens because of your unique experience, which is really regrettable. Why don't I tell you more?

For example, you must be curious about the true identity of that person, the true identity of the Warlock Grand Mentor, don't you want to know, why did he use the Mentor's authority to hide this world?

It's not just because Project Weapon X is important.

Come on.

Ask, Mason Cooper.

As long as you open your mouth, I will know everything! I have always been generous to the dead. ”

Mason was silent about this, but Red Skull saw his silence as a precursor to compromise.

So Mr. Doomsday said in a long voice:

"Don't you have a problem? Tsk, what a boring meeting, worthless, you have two choices now, either I'll help you wake up, or."

"Bang"

A strange ball that suddenly slammed into the ground represented Mason's answer.

The moment the ball-like Isu mutager activated, Mason pulled Harley to activate the Speed Ring, and swooped across the basement into the secret passage below.

By the way, he took Lao Wan's helmet off Harley's head and threw it behind him.

The Red Skull wasn't the enemy he had to face, not from the start, just as the Doomsday President had prepared for his arrival, and Mason had a "surprise" in store for the damn Red Skull.

The Red Skull was injected with a special genetic fragment to force him to turn into a humanoid crocodile with a shaking head, which was stopped by the "technology sheep transformation technique" and lost Mason's trace.

Despite the addition of the Power Gem, the Red Skull was able to break free from this "forced transformation" after a second with the purple power fire burning all over its body.

But he lost the opportunity to contain Mason.

Because in front of him, the old wolf, covered in blood, was hobbling with a round head.

He won.

This is not surprising.

When he embarked on this path, he was already determined to die.

But what is surprising is that the fight between the two Wolverines ended so quickly, the old wolf held the battle helmet thrown by Mason in his left hand and wore it on his head, the head in his right hand was dead, and the younger Wolverine's neck was infused with Erdman's broken bone stubble and was still bleeding.

It's like a drop of blood.

"Logan Houtley? What a surprise! ”

The mentally abnormal red skull stared at the guy in front of him, and he said coldly:

"You should be hiding in your kennel but you are still alive, you still came to be a good man when you shouldn't have come forward, do you think I didn't mess with you enough?

A wolf that can go crazy at any moment, all it takes is a cute mind gem to drive you crazy.

Tsk, I can keep the image of you slaughtering your compatriots, and when I am upset, I take it out and enjoy it, it always makes me feel happy.

But I don't need the Mind Gem anymore."

The red skull stretched out his finger and tapped his forehead, and he said with a grim expression:

"I have a more powerful weapon, a weapon from the same source as you, do you want to know where I got it?"

"The professor's brain? Emma told me that you had desecrated Charles's corpse, and that Emma had commissioned me to kill you, but I was not surprised by that, and it was not surprising that the brute had done anything.

Believe me.

I also want to die of old age on my farm, but the reality is that I really don't allow an old man to die so quietly. ”

Logan gasped.

With each breath, the wounds on his body healed at an accelerated pace.

In just a few moments, he was back to his uninjured state after being poked into a sieve.

The rust on his paws was dripping little by little with blood, and the gray hair and beard had magically turned back to the black of his youth.

He is the Eternal.

He will never die, but he will grow old.

That's not because he's too old or his physical function is declining, but because he has lost his fighting spirit, which makes his mind and body fragile day by day in loneliness.

However, just like the legendary berserker, the heart is not extinguished, the fight is endless, and if the fighting spirit is rekindled, the warrior will never grow old.

"I thought I was going to be weak, I thought I was going to be crushed into a coward by despair, but it turned out that I had been miserable for the past seventeen years.

I've also been angry.

I didn't even realize that the anger that I had been willing to be suppressed for seventeen years would burn so violently when it exploded! Wolverine is indeed dead, want to hear his last words? ”

The old wolf raised his head.

He pushed the dark red helmet on his head, completely isolating the influence of the red skull's stolen psychic power from his furious and calm mind.

Only the coldest killing intent remains.

Sharp and furious eyes stared at the red skull in front of him, staring at the culprit who caused the tragedy of Xavier Academy seventeen years ago.

Logan bared his teeth, and the blackened Wolverine's head was smashed at the feet of the red skull, and then the blood-stained steel claws staggered in front of him, forming an eerie X sign.

He said in a dumb voice:

"Want to know what this immortal soul is going to say to you as it crawls out of its grave?"

"Smack"

The captain's round shield in the red skull's hand waved, and the blood-stained shield pointed at the murderous twilight wolf Logan, and in the flames brought by the power gem, he said:

"Of course, I'm listening."

"Bang"

He was very pretending to be forced and flew out in the next moment.

The alloy claws tore at the shield with dazzling sparks, and an entire wall shattered in Logan's roar, and he rode on the Doomsday President and stabbed his claws continuously, causing the Red Skull to fall into an awkward confrontation.

But he has an advantage in equipment after all.

The purple power gem of the left hand armor was charged in an instant, and it turned into a heavy fist wrapped in purple flames, sending the old wolf hammer flying out, shattering several walls with one face, but quickly pounced back in the smoke and dust.

The Power Gem is indeed powerful, but it is not quite the case for the fierce and ferocious undead.

But the brainless Red Skull clearly enjoyed the fight too, and he saw Wolverine, who seemed to have come back to life in front of him, as the final blemish of the imperfect victory seventeen years ago.

He will end him with his own hands.

Then put his proud claws into his collection cabinet, and the collection was satisfied.

Just as the two were locked in a life-and-death battle, the corpses and blood of the Hydra Guardians killed by the Red Skull in the gloomy basement were suddenly ignited.

The raging fire was like flowing in gasoline, quickly pulling most of the spicy palace into the flames, and Logan, who tore apart the red skull's suit with one claw, looked up.

Boy!

The light of the fire in front of him had formed a bright gate to hell, and the violent flames seemed to send a terrifying thing into this abandoned world.

The Red Skull has been stalling for time!

This bastard is waiting for this ritual to be completed, and his minions are the sacrifice for the return of the demons of Hell!

"It's . Ghost Rider? ”

The well-informed old wolf realized that something was wrong for a moment, and he kicked away the red skull that had pounced on him and was about to rush into the basement.

Mason is in danger!

It's a trap.

"Bang"

The purple flame of power erupted behind him, and the flames of the cosmic strange things burned on everything that could be burned, and the old wolf's flesh was ignited in an instant, and even the Erdman alloy was melted, and the purple fire around it turned into an iron cage fighting ground under the control of the red skull.

He tore the tattered suit open, waved the round shield and ebony sword in his hand, and shouted:

"Where do you want to go? Logan? No one can leave here until I or you fall! Aren't you cowardly for revenge? Come! Pierce your claws into my heart! ”

"Hmm"

Logan, who was added to the fire of power, felt that his flesh and blood were about to be scorched, and this damn fire could not be extinguished, maybe being burned here would be the end of his day.

But he turned back.

Staring at the smiling red skull, he reached out and plunged a pale golden injection into his neck.

Mason had a premonition that this would happen, and he gave Logan a little "equipment" support in advance, because when the Kryptonian power exploded on the old wolf, it helped him suppress the purple fire that was still burning.

He stood up and moved his body, his eyes accumulating heat rays towards the surprised red skull in front of him, and then slashed the red skull's power armor in half with a swing of his claws in melee combat.

Reaching out and clasping the burning gem, he spat at the devilish face in front of him in the wrestle of blood splattering like lava, and thrust the claws in his hand into the flames in front of him.

He roared:

"I picked a tombstone for myself! It has a devilish face, and you want to see my claws? That's what you want! ”
