Chapter 48 This Locket Is Your New Home
"Can I recover?"
"certainly?"
"How is this possible? My life span..."
"Your abilities are quite special. In fact, your abilities are so powerful that you don't have the concept of lifespan."
In theory, as long as the Wolverine spirit is immortal, he can survive forever. This means that as long as he firmly believes that he is not dead, he can survive forever. Even if only the last trace of spiritual will is retained, his self-healing ability will always work.
The movie version of Wolverine may not have reached this level, but it will not die so easily. His current state is a dilemma caused by long-term consumption of genetic drugs. The drugs suppress his self-healing factor every moment, minute and second. In this case, his self-healing ability has not completely disappeared, which is enough to prove his strength.
Ethan felt that as long as he gave this guy enough time, perhaps that kind of genetic drug would slowly be immunized by Logan. At that time, he could still recover from his previous look of being lively and unable to kill him.
When Wolverine learned that he could still live well, even Wolverine, who had seen through many things, was a little confused. Charles, who was beside him, was happy for his students and friends. If Wolverine could survive, it means that the mutant left hope. In addition to the young mutant he sensed during this period, the mutant did not usher in the final doomsday.
However, after being stunned for a while, Logan stared at Ethan: "How did you know these things?"
Looking at Ethan is just a young man in his early twenties. Maybe he has very powerful abilities, but how did he know these secret things? And from his words, we can tell that he is very familiar with himself and the professor's abilities and situation.
This understanding... made him feel very uncomfortable.
"Because I am not a person from this world, I am quite familiar with some of the things that are happening in your world."
Theories such as parallel worlds and multiverses are not uncommon. Even people without much culture are familiar with these theories after living in the Big Bang era for a while. They are not unacceptable to some of Ethan's explanations that sound magical.
“So you know what we’re going to go through next?”
"Yes."
In the following time, Ethan happily did a spoiler dog, and spoiled the story to the protagonist himself. Of course, he just chose some key points to tell.
For example, Wolverine has a daughter artificially bred by his genes, and this girl will come to her in the next few days.
The appearance of the little girl will ruin their last bit of peaceful life, Professor Charles will die, Caliban will die, and even Wolverine Logan will die himself.
"You're talking about Laura Ginny?"
Charles has been in touch with the little girl during this period. He uses his not much awake time every day to guide Laura to find them. Otherwise, how could a nurse working in a research institute easily find Wolverine's location?
"It seems she has arrived nearby."
Listening to the conversation between Ethan and Charles, Logan suddenly had a strange sense of vision. It seemed that he had done similar things many years ago? It was just that at that time he played the role that this young man now played.
"Who are you? Is someone entrusting you with me?"
"Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Ethan." Ethan remembered that he had said for a long time and didn't even introduce his name: "No one has entrusted me. In fact, I came to this world by chance. But after realizing where I was, I decided to help you."
"Why?"
"Because this will make me feel better."
“…”
This answer sounds unreliable, but both Charles and Logan felt that the other party was not joking, and he said all the truth.
After a conversation, they had already obtained too much information from Ethan.
Why are the mutants extinct? From Laura's topic, I learned that there are now a group of new generations of mutants. They were created as experimental subjects at first and wanted to cultivate them into weapons. However, these children have escaped from the institute, and Laura, who is about to come to the door, is one of them.
Ethan perfectly fulfilled his previous promise and answered everything they wanted to know.
After learning about their current situation and the current world environment, Logan and Charles looked at each other and felt that it was better not to know!
The environment is too harsh, and they are not fools. They can put genetic drugs all over the world and conduct various genetic tests unscrupulously. So it is clear who is the biggest mastermind behind it.
"You said you want to help us? What are you going to do in this situation?"
Logan didn't think Ethan could do anything. In this situation, they seemed to have to wait for death. Those guys could make them die quietly and take good care of them.
If he really wanted to survive when he learned that he could recover before, Logan suddenly didn't want to recover again - the situation where everyone in the world was not a beautiful experience, just dying like this was a relief.
"I can't do much." Ethan didn't want to do much: "At most, eliminate those crazy guys and don't let you die."
He pointed at Logan with his finger and emphasized that he was talking about you, not you. Both Caliban and Charles understood the difference, but they didn't think there was anything wrong.
It's useless to envy Caliban, and genetic drugs don't have much impact on him. He can survive normally, as long as he avoids this storm.
Charles is too old. Even if the genetic drug problem is solved, it will not be able to solve all kinds of physical problems.
Ethan has a spring of life in his hand, but now is not the time to be exposed.
Only Wolverine Logan's problem is best solved. As long as the intake of genetic drugs is stopped and the toxins in the body are removed, his self-healing ability will be restored to a certain extent, and his body will be better.
Logan was silent for a moment: "Thank you very much for your kindness, but I think I'd better forget it."
"If you think it's meaningless to live, because the whole world is full of enemies, you don't worry about it." Ethan spread his hands: "Have you forgotten what I told you before? I'm not a person in this world."
"You want to invite us to your world?"
"I happen to have a big ship."
Charles laughed out loud when he heard Ethan's words. Logan had been talking recently about buying a boat so that they could hide in the sea and live. He didn't expect that this young man knew even this.
"I'm sorry to interrupt you, but I don't want to leave this world."
Caliban, who has never had a sense of existence, finally had the opportunity to show himself. In fact, genetic drugs and other things have little impact on him. It doesn’t matter whether his abilities exist or not in this environment. What he cares more about is what Ethan said before: Kill all the guys he doesn’t like.
Regardless of whether this person is bragging or not, this is undoubtedly a huge trouble. He already wants to withdraw from it and avoid it.
No one thinks there is anything wrong with his choice, even Logan thinks he should leave, especially now that he will soon come to the door when he learns those troublesome things.
So Caliban left very simply.
I don't care about his departure from Ethan. In fact, this is a good thing for him. As long as he hides well, he may be able to spend the rest of his life safely.
Ethan never thought about bringing Caliban back. This guy was not reliable and was likely to reveal his secrets and his character was not so strong.
His biggest goal now is Wolverine Logan. He has no nostalgia in this world and is the person who is most likely to be fooled by himself.
As for Professor Charles...
It was not until Caliban left completely that Ethan gave Charles his advice.
"I have a way to keep the professor alive, but I don't know if you can accept that state."
Professor Charles' greatest ability is mental power. If the settings in the comics are set, the peak Professor Charles can break away from the shackles of the body and reach the level of spiritual immortality.
Losing your body can also survive with a complete spiritual body, and you can even seize other people's bodies as your new body - of course, this body still has certain requirements and restrictions.
In the movie world, this ability seems to be vaguely displayed in the easter egg in the last part of the old trilogy, but that was the professor's strength at his peak, and his current state should not be able to do it.
In addition, the timeline of the X-Men movie world is a bit chaotic, and even the official did not give an accurate attitude to whether the Wolverine 3 is an independent timeline or connected to the previous few movies.
The film company did this to avoid dying and facilitate the development of subsequent films, but for Ethan this gave him a headache.
"I'm ninety years old and I have no nostalgia anymore. You just need to cure Logan."
"professor."
"Logan, don't say anything more... My brain is rare and very clear, so I remembered what I did before." Seeing that Loggan stopped talking, Professor Charles turned to Ethan: "You want me to survive in the form of a spiritual body."
After hearing Professor Charles' words, Ethan knew that the old man had this ability, at least he could do this at his peak. After all, this is a master who exerted his mental power to the extreme.
"Yes, it's just that considering that your current state is too far from the peak, you need to create a carrier to store your spirit to prevent the mental body from directly collapse and dissipating."
