Becoming Stronger After Death: I Keep Seeking Death in the World of the Universe

"Spider-Man? Actually, there's nothing much to say."

The topic shifted to Spider-Man, and Logan seemed a little melancholy: "He is also our old friend. I used to be annoyed by his mouth. But he is not as talkative as before."

Charles also smiled and said: "This reminds me of his youth. I remember when he first came to school, I was still in my prime."

As he spoke, Charles seemed to start reminiscing about the past.

Xu Wang was a little surprised when he heard this: "What do you mean? Did Spider-Man in your world debut so early? Is he an old spider now? He also attended a mutant school? Is he also a mutant?"

Seeing Xu Wang's surprised look, Logan was also a little surprised: "Isn't this the Spider-Man you know?"

Before, Logan was still doubting whether Xu Wang and the Spider-Man they knew were the same person.

Now it seems that there is a great possibility that they are not.

"Peter Parker is probably 70 years old this year. But he is not a mutant. He was bitten by a mutant spider when he was 16 years old. Later, his family sent him to school as a mutant."

When Logan talked about the past, he always wanted to take out his cigar and take a puff.

But he didn't have a cigar now.

Poor Wolverine, he spent all his extra money on buying alcohol.

"Wow, this is really something I didn't expect. So where is he now? Is he still his good neighbor in New York?"

Xu Wang was really curious about the Spider-Man in this world. This was the first time he met a multiverse variant with the same name but not the same person.

As he traveled through more and more worlds, he might meet many more variants, right?

"Good neighbor in New York?"

Logan didn't understand what Xu Wang meant by this.

So Xu Wang roughly introduced the daily life of a normal Spider-Man.

Logan was confused after listening and seemed a little confused.

After all, the ordinary little spider's daily activities are more like a street hero.

The upper and lower limits of the work content are too different!

Superheroes like the X-Men don't usually spend a lot of time patrolling the streets.

For example, if they help old ladies cross the street, catch thieves, find pets, etc., they usually won't do it unless they bump into each other.

And people with Logan's temper would probably just deal with some tactless hooligans at most.

So, after listening to Xu Wang's introduction to other Spider-Men, Logan and Charles were quite surprised.

Charles laughed again immediately: "That's good, it's really like what Peter would do. But in our world, he joined the X-Men and has been on missions with us for a long time, and he didn't become a street hero."

"Until a few years ago, the X-Men were completely disbanded, and he returned to the life of an ordinary person. Now he is working in a flower shop in El Paso."

"Let's talk about something else."

Logan found that Charles' expression was gradually changing, and immediately changed the subject and stopped talking about the previous things.

He stared at Xu Wang and said coldly: "It's your turn to speak, kid, about what you know."

Xu Wang also noticed that Charles' expression gradually became a little strange after he mentioned the past. Although he was very curious about Spider-Man's current situation, he did not ask much.

The topic naturally shifted to Xu Wang.

Xu Wang also told what he knew about "Wolverine 3".

Of course, some of it was deleted.

For example, Charles once had a sudden epilepsy, which caused his superpowers to go out of control and instantly killed hundreds of ordinary people and several X-Men.

This is not a good thing, and it is useless to say more.

What's more, I don't know what the current situation of the world is.

It's the same if I ask Logan alone later.

The story of "Wolverine 3" is simple.

Logan, who drives an online car-hailing car, accepted a nurse's commission to send a little mutant who escaped from the Yaklai Gene Company to North Dakota for refuge.

The little mutant is code-named X-23 and named Laura.

The mutant gene comes from Wolverine Logan. From a biological point of view, she can be regarded as Logan's daughter.

Later, the kind nurse was killed by the mercenaries of the Gene Company, and their abandoned smelting plant was also invaded by mercenaries.

Eventually, Caliban was captured.

Logan, Charles and Laura, three generations of grandparents and grandchildren, avoided the mercenaries all the way and fled to the north.

On the way, the three were taken in by a kind farmer.

The result was quite tragic.

The farmer's family of three was killed by the latest weapon developed by the Gene Company, X-24, which is Logan's clone.

Charles also died under the claws of X-24 that night.

The captured Caliban committed suicide with a grenade because he didn't want to be used anymore.

Only Logan was left with Laura to North Dakota to meet up with other little mutants who escaped from the Gene Company.

Then the lingering doctor of the Gene Company and the mercenaries came.

In order to protect the children, they crossed the border and entered Canada.

Wolverine fought with all his might and died in the forest of North Dakota.

Logan's life ended here.

As the Wolverine of that world, he was completely dead and there was no possibility of resurrection.

Although Wolverine appeared again in "Deadpool and Wolverine", he was not the same person after all.

In the room of the water tower.

Xu Wang leaned against the table, half lying on the ground, holding a potted plant on his chest, disguised as a tree branch piercing his chest.

The corners of his mouth, chest and hands were all covered with red ketchup, and he looked seriously injured and dying.

"Hah~hah~"

Xu Wang's chest rose and fell violently, holding the hand of Logan, who had a dark face beside him, with reluctance and affection in his eyes: "So... this is the feeling..."

As he spoke, Xu Wang's breathing became weaker and weaker, and finally he completely lost the strength to hold Logan's hand, and just watched Logan "die"...

Yes.

At this time, Xu Wang was playing role-playing.

He thought that simply telling a story was too boring.

So he played multiple roles, treating "Wolverine 3" as a stage play, and performed it in front of Logan and Charles.

What was performed at this time was Logan's death.

Although it was very uncomfortable to be held by Xu Wang's hand, it must be said that Xu Wang's acting skills were online, and this way of telling a story made people feel very involved!

Looking at Xu Wang who "died with his eyes open" in front of him, Logan's heart was also very uncomfortable.

Not for himself.

It was for Charles, Caliban, and even Laura, whom he had never met, and the group of artificial mutant children.

In Xu Wang's story.

Although the children crossed the border and went to Canada smoothly.

But is it really safe?

It is impossible.

Without the protection of adults, the fate of the group of mutant children can be imagined.

"Wait, wait, the story is not over yet."

Watching Logan stand up and stop cooperating with his performance.

The "dead" Xu Wang jumped up. He looked at Logan and gestured: "Later, Laura dug a pit to bury you, and then said a long line from a classic Western movie."

"Something about no more gunshots in the valley, I think it's quite touching."

"Then, maybe a few years later, your flesh rotted away, leaving only an adamantium skeleton."

"Then an ugly superhero traveled through the world and dug up your grave, and dug out your skeleton. He also used your skeleton to sing and dance, and fight with people!"

"I think acting should be a full set. You are also a well-known opera singer, and you have some professional qualities. Accompany me to finish the performance."

Logan's original sentimental mood was completely destroyed by Xu Wang's nagging.

He looked at the young man in front of him with a bad temper: "You just want to experience the feeling of burying me alive and then digging my grave, right?"

Xu Wang was hit by Logan's words, his head tilted to one side, whistling, as if nothing had happened.

Although he did think so.

On the single bed, Charles was very quiet.

But his eyes were silently crying.

He felt sad for Logan and the others.

Charles was very open-minded about his own death.

He was so old, he should have died long ago.

But he knew that the reason why Logan hadn't committed suicide yet was because he had to take care of himself.

So, even for Logan, Charles had to live well.

The two of them now really depended on each other.

Seeing the professor lying on the bed so sad, Xu Wang clapped his hands again, attracted Charles' attention, cleared his throat, and said seriously: "The story is not over yet."

"Finally, Logan's savior! That is me, making a brilliant appearance! Before everything happened, I punched Dr. Rice, kicked X-24, and saved the last mutant!"

"Logan, Charles, Caliban, Laura and her friends lived happily together."

At the end, Xu Wang hugged himself with both hands, closed his eyes, and looked intoxicated: "Isn't it very much like the ending of a fairy tale? If I travel to Disney, I will definitely become the most popular Disney princess!"

"Haha!"

Charles was finally amused by Xu Wang.

There were still traces of tears on his face, but he suddenly laughed out loud, but because of physical reasons, he couldn't help coughing twice.

Logan next to him said without hesitation: "It's very late, go to bed quickly, there is no discussion this time."

Charles didn't want to rest so early.

He still had a lot of things to ask Xu Wang.

But when Charles met Logan's eyes, he knew that Logan was serious this time.

So Charles could only lie down and mumble, saying that he would go to sleep.

Xu Wang ran to Charles' side, squatted down, put his hands on the edge of the bed, looked at Charles and said with a smile: "Good night, professor, I hope you like my bedtime story."

Charles also smiled at the young man next to him: "I like it very much, kid. Of course, I mean the last part."

"Thank you for your love, maybe I can become an idol star or something. I remember there is a company that specializes in operating superheroes, called Walter."

"If I join, I will definitely become a more popular superhero than my countryman!"

Xu Wang held his chin with both hands and said with a smile.

Charles liked Xu Wang, a young man he met for the first time.

Being by his side, I felt like I was much younger: "That sounds like a story from another world?"

Xu Wang nodded with interest: "Yes! Yes! That's the story of "The Boys"! But I haven't been to that world yet."

"You two! You've talked enough, it's time to turn off the lights and rest."

Logan saw Xu Wang and Charles chatting non-stop, and he couldn't help but raise his voice to warn.

"Okay, okay, Uncle Wolf, you're too harsh, how come you're like the dormitory aunt in my middle school."

Xu Wang stood up and complained with some dissatisfaction.

Charles was completely on Xu Wang's side at this time. He also looked at Logan with hatred: "Logan, why are you getting older and older? You act like a sissy now."

Logan's eyes widened when he looked at Xu Wang and Charles, who were suddenly united front!

What's the meaning!

Obviously this kid just arrived!

Obviously I and Charles have known each other for most of their lives!

"Go, go, go out quickly, don't disturb the professor's rest."

Logan was still in disbelief, but Xu Wang had already stepped forward and knocked Logan out.

The two of them and the dog walked out of the water tower's door together.

Seeing the iron door slowly closing, Charles's old eyes gradually became lonely and dim.

An old man of his age.

In fact, there is not much left to ask for.

What I fear most is loneliness.

Especially Charles at this time.

He is already 90.

The body functions age and the body becomes worse and worse.

Ironically, as the most powerful psychic in the world, he suffers from Alzheimer's disease.

In order to ensure that when epilepsy occurs, out-of-control superpowers will not harm innocent people around them.

They had to move to this abandoned smelting plant, far away from human habitation.

In order to make money, Logan would leave early and come back late. He often didn't go home for several days. When he was tired, he would sleep in the car, and when he woke up, he would drive directly to take orders.

Caliban is the only one who takes care of Charles.

But Caliban also didn’t communicate much with Charles.

This made Charles even more lonely as he aged.

He stayed in this dark, windowless water tower all day long.

There is nothing to do except trim potted plants, read books, and listen to the radio.

The scariest thing was when he suddenly fell ill.

Alzheimer's disease makes Charles unfamiliar with everything around him!

The hallucination of suddenly being in a strange environment, with things around him of varying sizes, and walking everywhere, made Charles feel helpless and frightened.

Today, Logan went out of his way and suddenly brought an energetic young man to the door.

It really made Charles feel the warmth of being alive again.

But what people fear most is the sudden curtain call after a lively banquet, leaving them alone in an empty, cold room.

That kind of sharp contrast is not pleasant.

But at this moment, the door that was about to close suddenly opened again.

The moonlight outside the door shines through the crack of the door.

Charles saw Xu Wang poking his head in from the door. His hands were still on the edge of the door frame: "Hey, Professor, I'm afraid you'll be lonely, so I left Tie Zhu with you. See you tomorrow! I love you~ Good night!"

Xu Wang said, drove Tie Zhu into Charles' room, gestured to Charles again, and then closed the door.

Charles looked at the door that was closed again, but at this time he no longer felt lost or lonely.

Instead, he began to look forward to tomorrow.

Just like when he discovered the group of artificial little mutants using telepathy, he was also looking forward to the future.

"Yeah, see you tomorrow."

Charles smiled.

Lying on the bed, he turned his head and met the eyes of the husky beside the bed: "Your name is Tie Zhu? Thank you for staying with me."

"Woof!"

Tie Zhu shouted, then spun around in circles.

Outside the water tower.

Logan watched Xu Wang leave the iron pillar in Charles' room, and then he sat on the stair railing and slid down.

When he jumped in front of her, Logan suddenly said: "I plan to move tomorrow. You can leave tomorrow too."

Xu Wang, who was happy just now, suddenly became unhappy.

He stood in front of Logan, looking at this man who had become much older after a series of sufferings, and said in disbelief: "What do you mean! After listening to my story, you don't intend to change the tragedy, but you actually want to escape!"

Logan seemed to dislike the word escape.

But that's what he thinks now.

Logan, who had some gray hair, looked at Xu Wang and said very seriously: "I said, there are no superheroes anymore. Since that group of people are so dangerous, I have to send Charles and the others to safety before the danger comes. place.”

This is very consistent with Logan's state of mind at this time.

Originally, Xu Wang thought that after telling the plot of "Wolverine 3", Logan would change his mind and regain Wolverine's motivation!

Show your claws when you disagree!

In the end, Xu Wang still overestimated himself and also overestimated Logan.

How can people's thoughts be changed so easily?

Just like Logan in the movie, he was just forced to get to that point step by step.

If I had a choice, I would definitely take the professor and the others away as quickly as possible and not get involved in any disputes.

But it doesn’t matter.

Xu Wang is not a talkative player to begin with.

He refused to reason with Logan and turned around and walked towards the water tower.

"What are you doing!"

Logan looked at Xu Wang's back.

"I'm going to complain to the professor."

Xu Wang looked like he was going to sue his parents.

How can Logan's lifeless appearance change the status quo and change his life.

He had to give him some shock, otherwise Xu Wang wouldn't be able to stand their emo state every day.

Logan is not afraid of anyone now, only Charles.

Seeing that Xu Wang had already walked up the stairs, he quickly stepped forward to stop Xu Wang: "Wait!"

Xu Wang still maintained the posture of going up the stairs, but turned his head and looked at Logan: "What? You don't want to escape?"

Logan was a little angry at being coerced by Xu Wang.

But he knew that Charles would definitely stand on Xu Wang's side.

Charles was determined not to leave, and he had no choice.

Perhaps only Logan knew that he was actually somewhat fortunate that Xu Wang was so unreasonable.

At this time, Logan's inner thoughts were quite complicated.

He naturally wanted to fight and change the status quo.

Otherwise, he would not have taken Xu Wang home based on intuition alone.

He just lacked an excuse.

What Xu Wang did was a good excuse.

"What are you going to do next?"

Logan asked.

Seeing that Logan finally gave in, Xu Wang also laughed.

He turned around, stood on the stairs with his hands on his hips, and looked down at Logan: "Don't worry! With my amazing wisdom! I already have a plan in my head!"

"Don't worry about anything else."

"Let's go to the motel first to see if Laura and the others are there. If they are, we'll take her back to live."

"Then the Acre Genetics Company that has been tracking Laura will definitely send people to catch up, and we'll catch them all here!"

"As long as we can get rid of these annoying villains, you can live a good life in the future without being disturbed!"

I thought Xu Wang was so confident that he could have any brilliant ideas.

The result was just such a simple and crude plan? !

No!

This thing can't even be called a plan!

That was clearly the favorite tactic of the young Wolverine in the past!

Logan suddenly regretted believing in this unreliable guy in front of him.

"That's it? That's your plan? Then you put Charles, Caliban, and that little mutant in danger?!"

Logan became more and more angry as he spoke, and grabbed Xu Wang's collar.

Obviously not satisfied with Xu Wang's risky idea.

Xu Wang was not angry about Logan's doubts. On the contrary, he felt that Logan finally looked like Wolverine at this time.

So Xu Wang looked at Logan and said very seriously: "I won't joke with your lives. I swear! Whoever wants to hurt you must step over my body first!"

"If everyone really wants to die, I have to die first! I must die first!"

Xu Wang's words were all true.

Not a single word was a lie!

After all, he was originally rushing to death.

The more he talked, the happier he was.

Following Logan and the others to make trouble, he could lead out the big boss Gene Company behind "Wolverine 3".

Then he could face Wolverine's clone, X-24.

As long as he died in the hands of X-24, he would most likely get self-healing and adamantium enhancement.

Adamantium can cut iron like mud, not to mention that it is extremely hard.

Xu Wang had a good idea about Wolverine's self-healing ability and wanted to try it out.

So if Uncle Wolf can't do it to himself.

It's very important to attract X-24.

Listening to Xu Wang's words, Logan stared at Xu Wang's eyes without dodging, suddenly loosened his hand that was grabbing Xu Wang's collar, and turned to walk towards the warehouse.

The old wolf didn't say anything.

But Xu Wang already knew his choice.

He immediately laughed and followed behind.

Logan didn't say a word to Xu Wang after that. After entering the factory, he returned to his room.

Caliban actually prepared an empty room in the attic for Xu Wang.

There is a small round window near the bed, and you can see the railroad tracks on the wasteland outside.

This room is not big, but it looks very warm under the orange light.

Xu Wang likes it very much.

After thanking Caliban, Xu Wang took off his dirty clothes and got into the bed naked.

He didn't go to bed directly.

Finally, he had some time alone, and he could finally study what the so-called black box was!

Take out the black box from his waist bag.

As the name suggests, it is really just a black box.

It is not big, like a small cassette.

This size of black box gave Xu Wang a sense of déjà vu.

He then looked at his left wrist again.

That was his own personal terminal.

He pressed the button, and the upper part of the personal terminal popped open. Xu Wang compared it and found that it was just right for the black box to be inserted.

Perhaps Xu Wang did not hesitate, and directly inserted the black box and closed the lid.

"Click"!

The screen of the personal terminal lit up!

The black box started running.

A line of federal language appeared on the screen.
