Sentinel

Chapter 262 old acquaintance

The torrential rain was pouring, and the sky was covered by dark clouds.

The electric light like a silver snake pierced the sky, and there was a muffled rumbling sound. Logan strode out of the bathroom with his beard and hair stretched out, frowning and staring, like an angry wolf.Twenty minutes ago, he had just had the worst bath of his life.

Three obasans in kimonos, using long brushes that scratched painfully on the skin, cleaned Logan's body, and babbled in Japanese that he couldn't understand. The retreating Wolverine almost wanted to show the pair of Adamantium alloy claws.

It is true that although I have stayed in the deep mountains and old forests for a while, the sanitation conditions there are not good enough, and I looked like a homeless man before I came to Tokyo, but the process of taking a bath just now gave Logan the illusion of being raped.

Yashida Mansion is located in Tokyo Bay. It occupies a vast area. When you look up, you can see the rushing river outside and the tall buildings like forests. It is an excellent place to enjoy the scenery.

Logan followed the red-haired woman Yukio who put on a kimono, and walked in the long corridor full of ancient style. On the right side is a classical screen with famous paintings of the Warring States Period. It can be seen through the open shoji on the left side. There are vigilant bodyguards in suits guarding and patrolling, a scene of tense vigilance.

In fact, Logan is still full of unreal dreams about being in this ancient mansion in Tokyo. Ten hours ago, he was still in the deep mountains of a small town in Canada, living like a savage. living alone.

Since Stryker's death, this lone wolf, who wandered around and had no fixed place, left the mutant academy, which seemed to be a safe haven, and embarked on a journey of wandering around the world again.

As the professor said, for Logan, a long life is an inescapable curse, which means that he is always alone, deprived of the warmth of family and love.

The seemingly young and strong Wolverine is actually twice the age of Charles. He first joined the Mutant Academy, not only because of the attraction from his compatriots, but also because he wanted to recover his lost memories. Unfortunately, when Stry Ke was buried beneath the base of the dam on Lake Akalia, and the unknown past was lost forever.

Even if the Phoenix Girl attracted Logan for a while, Wolverine couldn't stay for a long time, and there was no reason to stay. After the professor and Sean reached a cooperation, he packed his bags and went away until the man in front of him called Xuexu's red-haired woman came to him.

Pushing open the two heavy wooden doors with ancient and clumsy dragons, Logan saw the Yashida Ichiro whom he was going to meet on this trip. The old man lying on the hospital bed was also the helm of Yashida Pharmaceutical. A stomp could shake the island country. business tycoon.

Logan stepped into this intensive care unit, where various large-scale instruments for measuring vital signs were placed, and a blond woman wearing a mask gave orders. The other person seemed to be Yashida's personal doctor, and even a loose white coat couldn't hide it. Graceful curves.

"...wolverine."

Seeing Logan approaching, Yashida, who was lying on the multi-point forming testing bed, yelled. This old man whose life is about to come to an end, his face is covered with gray and black age spots and wrinkles, like a candle in the wind.

"You look the same as before, but I'm not surprised at all..."

Yashida's turbid eyeballs flickered, and he dismissed the private doctor named Green. The multi-point formed metal bed was like a movable spine, supporting the old man's sick body.

"Over the years, I've wanted to thank you for saving my life..."

After Yashida spoke the last paragraph, he had to rest for a while out of breath. Logan scanned the instruments used to monitor vital signs. Even though he knew nothing about medicine, the viscera pictures and line data presented on the screen roughly It can also be seen that this old man who is in charge of a giant company is indeed about to pass away under the torture of illness.

"Brought from where I was born, this painting depicts the prowess and skill of the ninja warriors who have served my family for centuries."

Seeing that Logan's gaze stayed on a huge screen, Yashida explained aloud.

The screen depicts a fierce fight between ninjas in black and shogunate samurai on horseback. Swords and soldiers meet, flesh and blood fly, presenting a chilling and cold feeling.

"I sent someone to invite you over, not just to thank you." Yashida said seriously. "Logan, I want to repay you and give you something unique, a gift comparable to your life-saving grace to me!"

"I don't want anything in return."

Logan shook his head. He and Yashida met at the end of World War II, in the summer of 1945. At that time, he was imprisoned by Japanese soldiers and locked up with a group of American soldiers.

Due to his extraordinary physical ability and fiery and reckless personality, Logan received special treatment. He was imprisoned in a well chained by the Japanese army until August 29th when a B-[-] fighter jet dropped a bomb on Nagasaki. an atomic bomb, and Ichiro Yashida was there.

Although the defeat of the Japanese army is certain, their frenzied resistance in Okinawa and other places caused a large number of casualties of officers and soldiers of the Allied Powers. Drop the atomic bomb.

As the eldest son of the family, Yashida Ichiro should have died in that battle and was written on the death list, but an accidental act out of good intentions allowed him to survive.

Yashida, who was afraid of death and unwilling to commit seppuku and serve the country with pieces of jade, saw the dazzling white light rising, followed by a huge explosion. The flames and thick smoke opened their bloody mouth like a crawling giant beast, swallowing all the buildings and life. After swallowing it completely, he froze in place, at a loss for what to do with the samurai sword in his hand.

Wolverine Logan rescued Yashida, threw the frightened Japanese soldier into the bottom of the well, and then survived the aftermath of the atomic bomb with a strong body—the young Yashida saw with his own eyes that this strong The man survived the terrifying shock wave and intense flames. Even though his entire flesh and blood body was burned beyond human form, all the fatal injuries were completely healed in less than 2 minutes!
"Eternal life is a curse. It haunts you like a ghost. Every loss makes you miserable. In this repeated process, all belief in survival is exhausted, losing the original goal, becoming a lone wolf, a man without a master. The samurai..."

Panting a few times, Yashida seemed to have a force in his body. He barely supported himself and sat up, staring at Logan with burning eyes, and said word by word: "I can end your eternal life and make you an ordinary person." .”

"You have been struggling in pain for too long, Logan, I know your past."

Yashida waved his hand, and Yukio, who was standing by, handed over a thick document, which was the memory Wolverine had been looking for. Through the family and other secret channels, the other party investigated all this in great detail.
