Chapter 47
"I know that the Eidman metal in your body contains toxins, and these toxins are slowly killing you."
Logan knew this, it was his own body, and he could feel the impact of Eidman metal on him very clearly.
Eidman metal did not affect him before because he was young and vigorous at that time, and a small amount of toxins would be completely eliminated by his self-healing factor, so no problems have occurred.
However, as he gradually grew older, the effect of the self-healing factor continued to decline. The "weak toxin" that was not noticed by him gradually became a deadly poison that could kill him, torturing him almost every second.
His physical fitness has declined, his recovery ability is restrained by toxins and his senses has declined. Now he can't even see the handwriting on the medicine bottle clearly. He always feels that this is a normal phenomenon that he has finally grown old and his life has come to an end - Eidman Metal has only accelerated his death.
Until today, he always thought so.
"In fact, it was not Edman Metal that killed you." Ethan patted Logan's shoulder, and through direct contact he could feel how weak the body was: "It's the food and water you eat every day."
"What?" Logan was stunned for a long time, not very clear about what Ethan said. "What do you mean?"
"It means literally."
After a while, Ethan had already looked at the environment of this place and found the place where Professor X was hidden.
Looking like a big water tank? Ethan did not continue to explain himself and walked directly in that direction.
"Hey, you'd better explain what you said."
Ethan did not look back and waved his hand to signal Logan to follow up: "The repeated explanation is too troublesome, let's listen together." At the same time, he waved to Caliban, who found that the situation was wrong and came out to check the situation: "You can go together too."
Caliban was very confused and did not respond to Ethan's words, but turned to look at Logan: "Who is this person?"
But Logan ignored his skills because he found Ethan walked straight to the place where Charles was hiding: "Stop, this is a private territory, you can't just break in."
"I know this is a private territory, but this place doesn't seem to belong to you."
Regardless of whether it was through any relationship or the place acquired by the bag company, Logan was nominally not the owner of this place, and even if it was really his place, he would not dare to do anything. Asking law enforcement officers would only cause them more trouble.
He followed quickly, and originally wanted to stop Ethan, but he watched the young man wave his hand gently from a long distance while walking, and the iron door that had arrived was automatically opened.
This scene made Logan's eyelids twitch, reminding him of many unpleasant memories - especially when the metal door was opened, the creaking sound made by him deeply stimulated him.
"Mutant?"
Caliban has been trying hard to show his presence, and Ethan's actions also reminded him of a very familiar person.
Just in such a daze, Ethan was already standing at the door and even turned around and waited for the two of them.
"Don't you keep up? I won't explain it to you once again."
"Damn little bastard."
Logan was very unhappy, but he had no choice but to limp and follow him. He was also worried about what the young man would do, even though this guy had not shown any malice so far.
"Look at what he is going to say."
He followed and entered the space that was suspected to be a big flood cabinet. When Caliban finally came in, he closed the door.
At least there is no need to worry about being eavesdropped on anything you say here.
After Logan came in, he rushed to Charles immediately and protected the former mutant leader who was already in an extreme state.
Especially when Ethan was standing there, seemingly looking at him with malicious intentions.
"It seems that I didn't come by very coincidental."
"What?"
"He is in this state and cannot have conversations."
Charles Xavier's condition is really bad. Not to mention his serious aging, his brain deterioration is particularly serious. The powerful mental ability that could destroy the world has weakened to a very low level. Not to mention his memory and thinking ability is on the verge of collapse.
If he were not Charles Xavier, one of the most powerful mutants in the world, he would have died long ago. In this case, Charles was able to maintain a normal state from time to time, which is enough to prove his strength.
Seeing his situation, Ethan even began to wonder if it was because these old generation of mutants were too powerful that those guys had to deliberately use the professor's hands to erase contemporary mutants. Otherwise, with their method of poisoning food, I'm afraid that none of the older generation of mutants would be poisoned to death, and all of them could survive until the day of normal old age.
Logan didn't know what Ethan was thinking, but saw him looking embarrassed, and he really didn't want to do anything so he let out a breath.
"I said, there is no professor... there will be no more in the future."
"Wait, Logan, let me talk to this young man."
Charles, who was still talking nonsense before, suddenly spoke, and the words were no longer the illogical content before. When Logan turned around, he saw Charles, who had been confused, showing a clear-headed look that he had not seen for a long time. The expression he showed at this time made him think that he had been back many years ago.
Ethan discovered that Charles had returned to normal earlier than Logan. At that moment, a powerful mental power rushed towards his brain. Although he only touched it lightly and immediately took it back, it still aroused his alertness and immediately discovered that this mental power came from the old man in front of him.
It's just not clear whether Charles happened to return to normal and then tempted, or if he accidentally used his mental power and was stimulated by Ethan's mental power, which in turn made him return to normal.
No matter what the reason is, at least Professor Charles is in a state of conversation now.
"It's not easy to meet you."
Logan refused to believe in himself before, and finally met him in a state of confusion when he finally saw someone. It was not until this moment that he really met the leader of the X-Men, Professor X, one of the most powerful mutants.
"I can't choose all this, and I have to say that I have to thank you. Your mental power is strong and pure, and it also has a very pure vitality, which will help me recover... although I don't know how long it can last."
Professor Charles did not conceal the truth of the facts, and even told it from the beginning. In a state of confusion, he would unconsciously release his mental power, and ordinary people would probably be hurt by him. It was precisely for this reason that Logan locked him up here.
So at the beginning, Logan did not allow Ethan to meet the professor, and to some extent, he was also protecting Ethan - look at Caliban, because every time he gave food and medicine to the professor, he was risking his life, and he had expressed his dissatisfaction with Logan more than once.
Of course Ethan thought of this, so he took a special look at Logan, but he would not admit it regardless of whether this guy really had such an idea.
Compared to this, he was more concerned about another thing.
"You said that as long as you meet the professor, you will tell me everything I want to know, so now I want to know what exactly you are going to do?"
"I said, let's discuss your future."
Luo was just trying to speak up and mock him, but Charles stopped him.
"Do you think we still have a future?"
"Aren't you still alive now? As long as people live, they have a future." Ethan actually wanted to say that even if they die, their souls will have a future, but this is too troublesome to explain.
Logan didn't believe this kind of chicken soup, but Charles liked this argument very much.
"You are right. As long as you live, you will have a future." Of course, like is like. What we need to solve now is a very realistic problem: "So what kind of future do you think we will have?"
This question needs to be answered carefully, which determines whether he can let the other party follow his advice and do things. Ethan wants to make his mood happy and change the miserable fates of these people, but that doesn't mean that he is led by the other party and then serves as a nanny for them.
There are many ways to solve problems, and he prefers to solve problems at his own pace.
"According to the current situation, then death will be your destination...and this time will not be too far away."
Ethan's words were not obscure, and the IQs of the people present were also online, so I could hear the meaning of his words.
"Do you think we can avoid this ending?"
"sure."
“How to do it?”
Ethan touched his chin and gave an answer that surprised them: "Not mentioning it far, the most important thing you should do at the moment is to throw away all the food and water."
Logan remembered what he had just said, and it was the next day when he mentioned food and water.
"Food and water? Is there any problem?"
"Of course there is a problem. Haven't you ever thought about the reason that no new mutants appeared for so long?" It has been clearly stated in the original plot that the 'drugs' that destroy mutant genes are hidden in ordinary foods and drinking water, and the existing mutants will also seriously affect their genes because of the use of these foods, and eventually the phenomenon of deterioration of their abilities.
Wolverine's body was destroyed by these genetic drugs, and then the weak body was unable to continue to remove the toxins of Eidman metal, which affected its own health.
