[Comprehensive Anglo-American] Resurrected from the Dead

An abandoned factory in the suburbs of New York.

Three military Humvees drove into the factory area without haste and stopped outside the gate. Then, Emilia got out of the car first. She brushed her hair by her ears and turned to look at the second car. In the car, two men in black got out of the car. They opened the door and dragged Laura and Rick out of the car. The two children were no longer as angry as they were on the street. They stood calmly wearing special handcuffs. by the car.

Emilia smiled in satisfaction, turned and opened the car door beside her, tilted her head at Annie inside, and said, "Okay, crazy woman, come down!"

Annie, who was sitting in the car, turned her head to look at her and got out of the car silently. She saw two children standing by the car behind, and she nodded at them almost imperceptibly.

"Let's go!" Emilia stretched out her hand and grabbed Annie's arm, beckoning the people behind to escort the two children and walk towards the factory gate.

Annie followed her obediently, and walked into the slowly opening factory gate.When she stepped into the gate of this factory, she realized that the dilapidated appearance was just its protective color, or camouflage. There was another huge high-tech building inside the factory. There was no sign outside the silver-gray building, only one and a half doors. round door.

Emilia let go of Annie, went to the door and touched lightly on the right wall, a virtual screen immediately appeared on the wall, she stretched out her hand and pressed on the screen, the semi-circular door Open it slowly. "Let's go!"

Annie hesitated for a moment, glanced at the virtual screen again, and then walked in behind her. After passing through two identical semicircular doors, they reached the center of the building.This time, she bowed her head and walked a few steps on the ground. Annie noticed that the steps seemed to have a strange rhythm and timing. It seemed that this was another way to open the door?Sure enough, within a few seconds, a circle of light appeared on the ground, and then the circle of light expanded rapidly, forming a light curtain wall, and the entire floor inside the light curtain wall suddenly brought the people on it down.

After descending about two floors, they stopped.

An milky white space resembling a small square appeared in front of Annie's eyes, surrounded by eight silver passages.She looked around and asked, "Is this the Odyssey Genetic Research Institute?"

Emilia giggled as if hearing something funny, shook her head and said, "Oh, how did you know that this is the Odyssey Genetic Research Institute?" She walked to the first passage on the right , "I think Odyssey probably doesn't have such technology."

"You're right, the Odyssey Genetic Research Institute can't even lock up a few small mutants, so how could there be such a luxurious underground castle?" Annie smiled, looked back at the children, and immediately followed emilia.

Emilia smiled triumphantly, walked to the end of the passage and opened a door, and after watching Annie enter, she stood by the door without saying anything, and took her people to escort Laura and Rickdo away somewhere else.

After the door closed, Annie, who was left alone, raised her eyes and looked around the place. It was a room about [-] square meters in size and three to four meters high. There was nothing in it, and it looked more like a prison. .Or, it is a prison, Annie thought to herself, walked to the wall and touched it curiously, the texture of the wall was a bit strange, neither ordinary building materials nor steel plates, it had a soft touch, Well, in short, Anne doesn't know what it is, but she also understands that Emilia sent her to this place, it must have something to do with restricting her ability, but——

Annie smiled, thought for a while, walked to the gate to observe, and finally sat on the ground not far from the gate, closing her eyes and meditating.

After an unknown amount of time, the door opened suddenly, and Annie, who heard footsteps, slowly opened her eyes.

"I'm glad to see you so calm, Anne Bennett," said the visitor cheerfully.

Annie stared at the middle-aged man in a black suit with unusually neatly combed hair. Although he looked at herself with a smile, there was a particularly uncomfortable light in his silver-gray eyes, which felt like being caught by a The snake stared at the general.She didn't move, but quietly accepted his gaze patrolling her body, as if she was exploring something.

The door closed behind him, he walked up to Annie, squatted down slowly, leaned his body, and said kindly: "How do you feel?"

Annie smiled and said, "I should cooperate with your question and answer that I feel very bad, but I'm sorry that I feel fine at the moment."

Still smiling, he stretched out his hand to gently touch her cheek, and said softly: "You are very brave, I can see that you have a rare and strong soul."

His palm was smooth and cold, sticking to Annie's skin, a little sticky. Annie felt goosebumps all over her body. She resisted the urge to knock his hand off and asked, "Who are you?"

"Me?" His thumb slid on her cheek, "Oh, I think you should guess who I am without my introduction."

"Yes, I did guess who you are, but don't you think it would be more polite to introduce yourself?" Annie reached out, grabbed his wrist, and firmly moved his hand away from her face. He opened it, and then touched the needle hole left by Emilia's syringe just now.

He chuckled, retracted his hand, stood up straight, looked down at her, and said, "For mutants, why do I need to be polite? I thought you were a smart girl just now, but now it seems that I was wrong .”

Annie couldn't help laughing, looked at him and said, "Yes, you are indeed wrong." She also stood up, and looked at him for a moment, "I think you will regret it soon, Mr. Marks. .”

"Oh? Because of what?" Mr. Max seemed surprised.

Annie smiled without saying a word.

Mr. Max pretended to be enlightened and said: "Oh, I see what you mean, you mean Wolverine, right? You think he will come to save you and make me regret it, don't you?" He said mockingly. With an expression on his face, he said coldly: "Honey, then let him come, I'm just waiting for him to throw himself into the net and see who will regret it in the end."

Annie touched the pinhole on her arm again, staring at Mr. Max, the corner of her mouth curled up, and said softly, "I see."

Mr. Max looked at Annie when he heard the words. When his eyes met hers, he showed a trace of surprise, and suddenly frowned, as if trying to resist something, and his expression gradually became numb...

Mr. Max shook his head violently, but found that the surrounding environment became very familiar. He was standing in front of his old house. His mother’s favorite rose was planted in front of the house. The branches and leaves swayed slightly in the wind under the setting sun.

He turned his head in amazement and looked at everything around him. This place is so strange and yet so familiar, as if they haven't changed a bit in the passing time.

"Hey Lucas, dinner time."

He turned around when he heard the sound, and saw his mother standing by the door, looking at him with a smile, "What's the matter? Look at your surprised look, did I become a monster?"

"No, no!" He waved his hands hastily, and walked towards her nervously, but stopped after walking a few steps, no, she was dead, all of this didn't exist.

"Lucas!" The mother's tone was a little puzzled, "Honey, come on, I cooked your favorite potato soup!"

He couldn't resist his mother's gentle smile and walked towards the door.

His mother stretched out her hand to hold him, and said with a smile, "I met Dolly's mother today, and she told me that Dolly really hopes that you can be admitted to her school, so that you can be together again."

"No, never!" he yelled suddenly, "Let her die! That bitch!"

"Hey, why do you say that!" His mother looked at him reproachfully. "Dolly is a good boy! You can't say that about her, understand?"

"No, Mom, you don't understand, she's going to kill you, kill you all!" Mr. Max became agitated, and he took his mother's hand, "Mom, I'm telling the truth, Dolly that bitch Not human, she's a mutant, and she's going to kill you all! All! So leave her alone and her damn mother, okay?"

His mother looked at him thoughtfully and asked, "How did I die, dear?"

He closed his eyes in pain and said, "You were burned to death by the fire."

"No, no, it wasn't me who was burned to death, my dear, that person was you!"

When he heard this, he opened his eyes, saw his mother looking at him coldly, and said indifferently: "Look, the person who was burned by the fire is yourself."

Mr. Max watched her retreat slowly, and a circle of flames appeared around him, and the blazing flames rolled towards him. In an instant, he was caught in the conflagration, his whole body was burned by the scorching flames, and he was in pain. howled.

His mother stood outside the flames with a smile he didn't know.

"No, no, why! Mom, why me!!" Mr. Max struggled in the flames, looking at his mother who was close at hand but watching him with no hands, "Mom!" He fell into the fire, only seeing Red, the flames devoured his hair and scorched his skin. No matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't get out of the fire. He reached out to his mother and cried, "Mom, save me! Mom!"

Mother stood there, just watching him, indifferent to his pain.

No, no, mother would not do this to me!Mr. Max curled up on the ground in pain, no, no, all this is not true, she is already dead, how could someone who has been dead for decades appear, and the old house in his hometown has been completely burned down by the fire, So, it's all fake!He gritted his teeth and got up from the ground, and rushed towards the "mother" who was beyond the firelight.
