Logan stood in the sea of blood, the scarlet blood was icy cold, like a steel needle piercing the bone marrow.
In front of him was an endless sea of scarlet, the blood washed over the corpses not far away like waves, slapping the gradually decaying bones.
As Logan arrived, the corpses turned their heads in unison, and some of the skeletons and rotten corpses even turned their heads 180 degrees.
They struggled to stand up from the sea of blood, and at a glance, there was no head at all. Countless corpses stood in front of Logan.
Some had already rotted into a pile of white skeletons, and the World War II uniforms they wore were also broken into dirty strips of cloth. The skeletons would make a crisp creaking sound when their limbs moved slightly.
Some corpses were oozing thick water, and the rotten and smelly pieces of meat fell into the sea of blood as they stood up. White maggots kept wriggling in the rotten meat, and in some parts, the bones under the rotten meat could be clearly seen.
There were also some fresh corpses, with wounds all over their bodies, and the blood seemed to flow endlessly, dripping into the sea of blood, and blood was flowing on their pale faces and facial features.
In the dim sky, the dead souls that covered the sky and the sun were floating, they were roaring and screaming, and the terrifying sound was like a groan from hell.
Logan was surrounded by dead souls and corpses, countless pairs of eyes stared at him, and on the sea of blood, a pair of hands suddenly stretched out from the blood, and the palms with long teeth and five claws waved randomly, as if to grab people and kill them.
"Logan, you killed us."
The dead souls were floating in the air, they wailed and roared, and this sound shook the depths of the soul, as if it was fluctuating the heart.
"Pay your life, Logan, I want you to pay our lives."
The corpses also opened their mouths, and the sharp voice seemed to pierce the eardrums.
"Logan, we all died because of you."
In the sea of blood, the professor appeared in a rusty wheelchair. His body seemed to be a corpse that had been buried for a long time. Maggots drilled down from the top of his head, biting the professor's eye sockets, and then drilled out, and then drilled into the nostrils again, gnawing the professor's face into a mess.
Caliban pushed the professor from behind. He also looked like a tragic death. All his limbs were cut off, and then they were roughly sewn up with ropes. The sutures dripped with sticky thick liquid. He looked at Logan with a miserable face, "Logan, you have too many enemies. He killed us. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't die!"
And behind them, there are countless X-Men and former friends, Cyclops, Beast, Storm, Victor, and even Laura, etc. Logan can't count them at all.
They all looked at Logan with a dull look on their faces, whispering in their mouths.
"Why didn't you save us."
"You could have saved us, we could have saved ourselves."
"Logan, you are the murderer, the murderer who killed us."
The voices of these dead souls and corpses came from all directions, echoing like the sound of Sanskrit.
While recounting their sufferings, they slowly walked towards Logan. Logan wanted to escape, but he couldn't move at all. The hands stretched out from the blood held him tightly.
Corpses slowly came forward to bury him. They tore the flesh and blood from Logan's body, stuffed the bloody bones into their mouths, and chewed them with a crackling sound.
But his self-healing factor quickly restored his broken body, and those corpses tore off the restored part again.
The pain of the body being torn apart was like being tortured by a slow procession. The teeth of the corpses kept gnawing at his flesh. The piercing pain made him tremble uncontrollably. He watched his former companions gorging on his corpses, and his former enemies tearing his flesh and breaking his skeleton in anger.
The pain from the depths of his soul almost made him collapse.
"No... No... No!!"
The fear that struck the depths of his soul made Logan tremble and speak.
He pushed the corpses away violently, holding his head tightly, trying to clear his mind.
Now he knew very well that he was under Wanda's illusion, but everything in front of him was too realistic, and the pain in his body was too real, so he couldn't help but sink deeper and deeper.
"Damn... This is an illusion, it's all fake, you don't exist at all, ah!!!"
Logan raised his head and roared, his eyes were completely scarlet, and bright red bloodshot covered his pupils. The shrill roar rippled back and forth in this gray space, as if to break through the current illusion.
But there seemed to be a mysterious force pulling him, not letting him escape, and constantly washing away the memories in his mind, as if to make him forget reality and completely sink into the illusion.
"No! I want to go out, I can't be here, I have to go out!"
Logan roared, looking at the pile of corpses in front of him in fear.
"Oh, right, free points, free points, I still have free points!"
He suddenly remembered his new skills, called up the data panel, and added free points to intelligence without hesitation, successfully raising his intelligence to 16 points.
He remembered that intelligence is linked to mental ability. As long as intelligence is improved, his ability to fight illusions can also be improved!
As the points increased, everything in front of him froze in the next second, and the terrifying wailing also dissipated.
The world seemed to solidify and became a photo posted on the window.
The windows gradually shattered, and everything collapsed with it. The sea of blood, corpses, and souls all completely dissipated as the world collapsed.
Logan woke up in an instant. In front of him was the familiar castle basement, and there was silence in the dim room.
"call……"
He looked around and couldn't help but hold his head against the wall and gasp for breath. There was deep fear in the depths of his eyes.
Fortunately, he has the habit of saving free points to save his life, otherwise he might really fall into the illusion completely this time.
That real feeling, even now, still made his hair stand on end.
"No!"
A frightened voice came from behind, shouting as if seeing a ghost, "How... how is it possible!"
Logan was startled by the sudden sound and turned around quickly.
"Wanda?"
As soon as he turned around, he saw the woman standing behind him, wearing a scarlet trench coat, with a beautiful face and a wonderful figure. She was the future Scarlet Witch - Wanda!
Logan looked at this woman who almost completely fell into the illusion, and then remembered that the only one blocking the Avengers outside was his brother Quicksilver, while his sister Wanda had been guarding the scepter.
Just now, in order to quickly find the scepter, I forgot about this matter for a while, and almost fell into Wanda's hands.
At this time, Wanda's eyes widened, with an expression of shock and fear, "You are not an Avenger, who are you?!"
At this time, she was full of shock to Logan. Just now, he couldn't feel Logan's heart!
This was her first mistake in so many years. She couldn't believe that someone could escape her psychic attack!
Logan did not answer, nor did he intend to take revenge. He just looked at the scepter and said indifferently: "The Avengers are still outside. It is not a wise choice for you to stay here."
Wanda noticed Logan's gaze, her expression suddenly turned cold, and she raised her hands fiercely. Scarlet light rippled around her like mist, and the weird energy spread, making the already cold basement even more gloomy.
"I warn you, this scepter is not yours to get your hands on."
She stared at Logan, the threat in her eyes was very obvious.
Logan just glanced at her, not feeling intimidated by the raging energy. He just said indifferently: "You don't want me to take you away. Do you plan to leave it to the Avengers and Tony?"
After listening to Logan's words, Wanda was stunned for a moment, and the energy field in her hands dissipated. She looked at him in shock, her eyes full of disbelief.
She didn't know why Logan knew her thoughts, but she did want to give up the scepter to the Avengers.
To be precise, it was brought back to Tony in The Avengers.
Of course, this is not because she wants Tony to get the scepter, but because she wants to use the scepter to completely destroy Tony.
But no one except his younger brother Kuaiyin knew about this idea, but how could the guy in front of him know it? !
"Who the hell are you?!"
Wanda stared at Logan gloomily, fearing that he would ruin her plan.
Logan ignored her, strode to the scepter, reached out and took off the scepter.
Holding this heavy scepter, Logan could clearly feel the unimaginable flow of energy contained under the scepter.
Seeing this, Wanda no longer hesitated, and strange scarlet energy burst out. The red light quickly spread towards Logan, as if wanting to wrap him up.
When Logan saw this, he immediately held the scepter and gently tapped the spike of the scepter on Wanda.
In an instant, the scarlet energy faded away, and the terrifying aura that filled Wanda's body also dissipated. She stood there with a stunned look on her face. Except for her eyes, her body seemed to be completely frozen, unable to move at all.
Looking at Wanda who looked like a statue, Logan couldn't help but weigh the scepter in his hand and sighed: "It is indeed a spiritual scepter."
You can subdue the enemy with just one click. It is simply a powerful weapon in combat, turning your opponent into a defenseless piece of meat.
Logan looked at the scepter, smiled bitterly, shook his head, and put it back in place.
The ability of this thing is indeed fascinating, but not everyone has the ability to use it. If he takes this thing now, it will only bring greater danger.
Looking at Logan's actions, Wanda looked stunned and didn't understand what he meant.
Logan looked at her and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't take this thing away. I hope your plan will succeed and make the Avengers and SHIELD suffer."
He knew very well that it was obviously unwise to take away the scepter at this juncture.
After all, both S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra were staring at this side, not to mention that along the way, Tony and Wanda saw his true appearance.
If the scepter is taken away by me, I am afraid that my face will appear on wanted posters everywhere, and both black and white will compete to use him in exchange for the bounty.
As long as you show your face, you will be targeted, and then you will be surrounded by unimaginable terror.
Logan didn't want that to happen.
And his main goal this time is actually the super soldier serum that he has put away. These things can allow Victor and the professor to recover to a certain extent. This is what he values the most now.
As for the scepter, the Avengers and SHIELD can take it if they like.
Logan knew that Wanda wanted to use the scepter as bait to prompt Tony to create Ultron step by step.
And this also caters to Logan's ideas in some respects.
Although the emergence of Ultron will bring tragic disasters to some people, what does that have to do with Logan?
He hoped that Ultron would make more troubles, completely disrupt the world, and attract the attention of SHIELD and the Avengers. By then, no one would care about mutants anymore, and he would be able to gain some peace.
Didi didi.
At this time, the headset in Logan's ear made a connecting sound, and Victor's voice came from the ear, "Logan, the tin guy has called for backup. We are evacuating first. You guys should come out quickly. They are about to enter the castle." Don’t run into those Avengers guys, let’s gather behind the castle.”
"We're going out right now."
Logan spoke into the headset, and then connected the communication between Klaus and Marcus, "The Avengers are coming, the mission is cancelled, retreat!"
After saying that, he turned off the headset and smiled at Wanda: "I'll just leave the spiritual scepter. I hope everything goes well for you. I'll leave first."
After speaking, Logan turned around and escaped towards the safe exit.
Wanda couldn't help but frown as she listened to the footsteps gradually disappearing. Scarlet energy surged in her body. After some struggle, she released the control of the spiritual scepter.
Looking at the empty passageway, Wanda couldn't help but feel a chill down her back.
She didn't expect that this guy she had never met could guess her thoughts and plans!
This made Wanda feel extremely panicked, fearing that her plan would be exposed.
"Looks like I'm late."
Just as she was thinking, there was a sudden sound of footsteps in the passage.
When Wanda saw this, she quickly found a place to hide and hide her aura.
After a while, Tony appeared from the entrance of the passage and carefully inspected the underground space.
At this time, he had disarmed the steel armor, and there were obvious bruises on his face.
After seeing that there was no one in the basement, he walked in with confidence and immediately saw the spiritual scepter placed on the shelf.
"Everyone, fortunately, it's not too late. This thing is still here. You can celebrate in advance."
He smiled and reported to the communicator. After finishing speaking, he walked to the scepter and looked at the scepter suspended in the middle by the magnetic levitation position. After thinking for a while, he moved his palm back.
The next moment, a pair of steel gloves flew in from the passage and was put on him accurately.
With the protection of the glove, Tony reached out and grabbed the scepter.
Looking at the authentic scepter, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't notice Wanda who had appeared behind him.
Buzz~
A burst of scarlet light emerged and penetrated Tony's head.
Tony was stunned for a moment, and after a few seconds, his expression was gradually replaced by fear.
The whole person stood there in a daze.
…
…
…
Twenty minutes later, in the woods behind the castle.
Logan met Klaus and Marcus in the woods, and also found Victor and John hiding in a big tree.
"Where's the scepter?"
When Victor saw them arriving, he jumped down from the tree. At this time, his chest was a mess of blood and flesh, with large and small scars on his body mixed together, and his breath was a little confused. He had suffered a lot from the battle with Tony just now. The injury cannot be repaired quickly with the current self-healing factor.
When Klaus and Marcus faced this question, they both shook their heads helplessly, and then looked at Logan together.
Logan also looked helpless and said: "I didn't find it either, the castle is too big."
"What now?"
Marcus looked at the castle behind with a worried look on his face.
"What can I do? Tell Maika the truth."
Logan shook his head and added: "Now that the Avengers have entered the castle, if we sneak in again, it will be a dead end."
Hearing this, Marcus and others couldn't help but lower their heads and sigh.
Not to mention that all the work was in vain, and the task could not be completed. Macca would have to pay liquidated damages. This would be a huge loss for the farm.
Thinking that they had failed to live up to the expectations of the farm, Marcos and others felt a little depressed.
Logan didn't know how to appease them, so he could only say helplessly: "Okay, let's go back to the hotel first. Tony and the others have discovered our existence, and we can't stay here any longer."
A few people nodded lowly and drove back to the hotel.
Logan asked them to take a rest and pack their bags later to prepare to leave.
After Marcus and others entered the room, Logan quietly waved to Victor.
Victor understood immediately, walked to Logan's room, closed the door, and stared into Logan's eyes, "Actually, you found the scepter, right?"
He knew Logan's character. If he really didn't find the scepter, Logan wouldn't have this attitude. If he really wanted to get the scepter, even if those people were Avengers, he would find a way to get it. After all, He still has two killing moves that are useless.
Logan didn't hide it, nodded and said: "Yes."
After speaking, he informed Victor of the pros and cons of obtaining the scepter. Taking the scepter away now would only bring greater danger.
Victor smiled and said: "You are right, that thing is a bomb, whoever takes it will die."
Victor unconditionally supports Logan's behavior.
The matter of the scepter was simply skipped by the two of them, and Victor asked curiously: "Why did you ask me to come here?"
Logan smiled and took out the super soldier serum he brought out.
Victor looked at these tubes of light blue serum with confusion on his face. He didn't know what this was that deserved Logan's happiness.
Logan explained, "This is the Super Soldier Serum, something that both Hydra and SHIELD are researching. After injection, your body will recover. However, this thing should be a defective product at present. The number of these few is too small, and the effect may not be very strong, but it is better to have it than not."
After that, he took out three serums, "These three are for you to inject, and two are left for the professor."
Victor looked at the serum and then at Logan.
He knew that Logan would not hurt him, so he nodded, "Come on."
After Logan asked him to sit down, he opened the injection port at the bottom of the three serums, revealing the needles inside, and injected them all into Victor in one breath.
As the light blue liquid was injected into Victor's body, the effect of the medicine took effect instantly.
An indescribable sense of pleasure made Victor couldn't help but let out a long breath, and some injuries on his arms also recovered quickly, which was visible to the naked eye.
Although the chest was still a bloody mess, it could not be directly healed.
However, Logan could clearly see that these heavier wounds were wriggling at a very slow speed, and the recovery speed was also faster than before.
Victor looked at the minor injuries on his arms that had recovered as before, and his eyes flashed.
Although this recovery speed was not as fast as when he was young, it was at least recovered a little.
The physical comfort made Victor feel unsatisfied, and he jumped up from the chair excitedly, "I didn't expect that the things Hydra researched would be so useful!"
He hadn't felt this feeling for a long time, as if the cells were alive again, and there was a sense of comfort from vitality.
And Logan was still a little disappointed when he looked at the recovery speed of the wound, "No, this is not enough, we have to find a way to get more serum."
In order for Victor to recover completely, at least dozens of injections of serum or other more powerful things are needed.
Victor patted Logan's shoulder very open-mindedly, "Don't force this kind of thing, I won't die in a short time."
He could guess that these things must be very precious, belonging to good things that are hard to come by, and the degree of suffering in obtaining them is not low.
Logan nodded. Now he could only take things one step at a time.
Then he looked at Victor and said seriously: "By the way, don't tell anyone about the serum, including Maca."
"He is not worthy of full trust."
