Sentinel

Chapter 263 Memory and the Past
With a rare anxiety, Logan opened the thick document that Yashida had prepared for him. As the pages of photos and texts were flipped through, the memory gate in his mind gradually loosened.

In 1845, an unheard of murder occurred in the Northwest Territories of Canada. One night, a drunk gardener killed the man of the manor with a double-barreled shotgun, and the stimulated little James, the man's son , Inspired the mutant gene in the body, and killed the murderous gardener Logan with the bone claws growing from the arm.

However, this is actually a bloody story. The dead gardener is the biological father of little James. The panicked child escaped from the manor and lived with his brother Victor. They are all mutants and have a long life that is difficult to age.

The two participated in the Civil War that broke out at that time, the Battle of Verdun in World War I, the Normandy landings in World War II, and even the Vietnam War later... This pair of brothers can be said to have run through the entire United States Until later, he was recruited by an officer named William Stryker, engaged in special work, and became a soldier serving the country.

During a brutal massacre, Logan, who was tired of the endless killing—he was still called James Howlett at the time, broke away from Stryker's special team alone, came to the Canadian Rocky Mountains as a logger, and officially changed his name to Rogan. Roots, fell in love with a woman named Kayla, and started a family.

If the story ends here, it is just the ending of a lone wolf returning to the countryside. It is a pity that in real life, there is often a lack of beautiful love like a fairy tale.

Keira is also a mutant, code-named "Silver Fox", approaching Logan with ulterior motives. At the same time, his brother Victor, the saber-toothed tiger who had disappeared for many years, also began to come to him, and many troubles ensued.

His lover was killed, and his brothers turned against each other. In a series of conspiracies and investigations, Logan was persuaded by Stryker, and he voluntarily joined the X-Weapon Project. After accepting the liquefaction infusion of Adamantium alloy, the bones of his whole body were condensed into active blood. Aiheman Metal also re-grows a pair of indestructible sharp claws.

"I spent a lot of resources and energy, went to Canada to find the lumber camp, got Colonel William Stryker's information from the US military, and searched for your past, your lost memories... Logan, immortality is not An easy thing, I have a way to eliminate your self-healing ability!"

Logan, whose mind was severely shocked, was speechless for a while. He never knew that he had brothers and lovers. He was a super veteran who participated in two world wars. It is said that he joined the famous Roaring Commando. He also fought side by side with the legendary hero in the best-selling comics, Captain America.

Those memories that should have been stored in his mind, like faded old photos, were all taken away by an Alloy bullet. Stryker wanted to kill him, but he only took away the first half of Logan's life.

"I'm not ready to die, but you are ready...you can go back to normal life, find a woman to fall in love with, marry and have children, start a warm family of your own, and grow old...in One day, die peacefully and naturally."

Yashida's hoarse voice awakened Logan from his trance, and he put down the thick document that recorded his experience in the first half of his life. This old man lying on the hospital bed and suffering from cancer, his cloudy eyes gleamed with longing, like a greedy bird. And a hungry beast.

Logan, who was named "Wolverine", was very familiar with this kind of gaze. The other party was like a hungry wolf staring at his food, with saliva dripping from between his fangs, eager to pounce on him and eat it immediately.

"Look, I'm glad to see you again, but I'm in this place just to say goodbye."

Just as Logan was about to leave, Yashida held his arm tightly. It was hard to imagine that such a power could burst out from such a dry and thin body of a dying old man.

"The great foundation I've built throughout my life...can't just collapse! This country needs me! Wolverine!"

No matter how Yashida called, Logan left this time without looking back. He needed to sort out the thoughts in his mind, and those fuzzy memories that brought shock needed to be sorted out urgently.

It is quite ironic to say that this lone wolf has been looking for the lost life, but after knowing the truth and uncovering the fog in his heart, he is not happy and full of confusion.

Outside the corridor, the torrential rain was still raging, and the lightning danced like a mad snake, swaying white silver light.

The whole world is shrouded in wind and rain.

"I thought Tokyo would be hot..."

Xiao En, who was walking down the stairs, muttered, the girl in red who came to greet him didn't understand this silly joke, and held a black umbrella to block the splashing raindrops.

The two sat in the car with their arms around each other. The driver turned a blind eye to this, but secretly clicked his tongue in his heart. Who would have thought that the only leader of the Hand, the "Black Sky" that countless ninjas fanatically believed in, would actually lean in the arms of a man?
"This city is in shadow." Erica said quietly, listening to the man's strong heartbeat.

Since cutting off the five fingers of the Hand, she and Wesley under Sean's instructions have managed Hell's Kitchen into her own private kingdom, and at the same time gradually gathered the huge power of the Hand.

Annexing the Rand Group and entering into commercial cooperation with Yashida Pharmaceutical, the Hand Association, which has gone through a huge change, has not declined because of this, but has expanded and developed more concentratedly. As Sean said, one fist is better than five The root arm came even stronger.

"Wesley mentioned once that there were some unusual movements in Japan. At that time, I didn't pay attention to it. I thought it was just the Yashida family's way of promoting new products... delaying cell aging and enhancing human body activity. These are at the same time It is also Umbrella's research project."

Sean smiled warmly, giving people a warm and firm miraculous power, which made Erica, who was tense, relax all of a sudden.

"Tell me what's going on, Harry's disappearance, the ogre's strange urban tales, Yashida's secret...I think all of these should have a secret connection." The man stroked the girl's smooth long black hair , the tone is mild.

"The Yashida family and the Hand Association have had a good cooperative relationship for hundreds of years. The ninjas we trained once helped this family control the central government during the shogunate era. Perish, the leader of the Hand Association and the patriarch of Yashida hibernated and endured until the defeat of World War II, Japan became a defeated country, and the two forces re-emerged with the help of powerful funds..."

As the sole leader of the Hand, Erica knows something about the history of this huge organization. Although the five fingers have taken root in different countries, Japan can be said to be the base camp with the deepest foundation.

"Murakami used to be one of the five leaders of the Hand Association. He used the secret potion developed by the keel to win over high-level Japanese political officials and business tycoons. Yashida Shiro was one of them, but as the keel was exhausted , Yashida Shiro, suffering from cancer, gave up his good relationship with the Hand and turned to another hidden force."

"Hydra?" Sean raised his eyebrows.

Erica nodded. If the Hand is in control of the underworld in Japan, then the power of the Yashida family is even more terrifying. After World War II, Japan, which had been reduced to a defeated country, was left to waste, and Yashida took the opportunity to invest heavily. Buy land and extend your tentacles to every industry in this island nation.

In addition to biopharmaceuticals as the leading industry, there are also energy, military industry, manufacturing, etc., like a towering tree with intertwined roots, its roots penetrate deep into the country and penetrate into any place.

"What exactly did they research?" Sean couldn't help wondering.

In the original timeline, Yashida Ichiro, who is dying, just wants to deprive Wolverine Logan of the self-healing factor, and then transfer it to himself, so as to achieve the purpose of renewing his life.

But now it seems that it may be the influence of the butterfly effect, and all of this is even more involved. According to Hydra's technological capabilities, their cooperation with the Yashida family may not be as simple as researching new products that benefit mankind.

"Ancestral virus." Erica said the answer.
