Chapter 157 Phoenix Girl Died Twenty Years Ago

Kevin decisively and simply killed the guy with the mechanical hand.

Kevin didn't remember his name, but he had a slight impression of this person, of course, a negative impression.

He was the main villain throughout the entire main line of "Logan 3". Logan and others were forced to give up their leisurely secluded life and had to flee to the ends of the earth, almost all because of him.

Therefore, after seeing him, Kevin didn't even think about saying a few more words to him. He decisively controlled his brain blood and stirred his head into a paste, achieving the physical meaning of "brain death".

What surprised Kevin was that the death of this guy actually provided Kevin with four skill points.

A villain who can only be regarded as a small role in the world of Wolverine actually provided more skill points than Ego.

"You...you are...?"

Kevin took a look at the skill points he had earned. After calming down, Caliban began to ask Kevin about his identity.

In the past 25 years, mutants have almost disappeared. Even Magneto is nowhere to be found. As for other mutants, no one knows where they have hidden.

Moreover, the abilities of mutants have almost all degenerated.

Caliban used to be able to sense the existence of all mutants within a range of 40 kilometers at any time.

But now, even though he knew that the person in front of him was a mutant, he didn't sense it at all.

Most mutants' abilities have degenerated. For example, Kevin's ability to kill any ordinary person in seconds should almost not exist now.

But he just existed in front of Caliban.

This made Caliban wonder, where did this guy come from?

"My name is Kevin."

Kevin introduced himself to Caliban and held out his hand to let him get up from the ground, then said:

"And it doesn't matter who I am. What's important is that Professor X and Wolverine are in trouble now. We have to find them first."

"Trouble... that little girl?"

Caliban thought of the girl who came to find them today, and suddenly realized something:

"Is she a mutant? A newly born mutant?"

"No, she is a mutant who was transformed after birth. I can't explain the details. When you meet Wolverine, he should tell you everything."

"Logan... does he know this?"

"He didn't know at first, but after meeting that girl, he should know. Okay, Caliban, stop talking nonsense. Take me to find them now. We have limited time."

Kevin patted Caliban on the shoulder and handed him the sun visor.

Perhaps because they were both "mutants", or maybe because Kevin saved him, Caliban didn't refuse this time.

He first found some things in the warehouse that they used as their home, and then ran to a room to prepare. Then he came out to meet Kevin and said:

"My... ability is very weak now, and I can only lock a general direction."

"That's enough, let's go, let's get in the car."

Kevin randomly found a jeep without a machine gun, found the key from the pile of corpses on the ground, got in the jeep and started the vehicle.

Caliban sat in the co-pilot seat, fastened his seat belt and pointed to the distance of the wilderness:

"The last direction they left was this way."

"Okay, sit tight."

After determining the direction, Kevin started the vehicle at full speed, and the car flew out like an arrow from a string, scaring Caliban to subconsciously grab the co-pilot handle.

The car was driving at a high speed, and Kevin was thinking about what to say when he met Wolverine while driving.

Today's Wolverine is very wary of everything. He is just like an elderly middle-aged man, stubborn and doesn't trust anyone.

Or maybe Wolverine doesn't want to cause trouble now. He doesn't want to get involved in any group or new mutants. He just wants to live a peaceful life, save enough money, buy a boat, and spend the rest of his life on the sea with Professor X.

Kevin is a trouble for Wolverine.

Because according to the standards of this world, he is a mutant, and a powerful mutant.

And the more powerful the mutant, the more trouble he brings.

So if Kevin meets Wolverine, he probably won't listen to Kevin. He may choose to throw Laura directly to himself, the "powerful mutant", and run away with Professor X.

This is what Wolverine might do now.

But in fact, for Kevin, it doesn't matter whether Wolverine runs away or not. He just needs to know where Jean Grey is buried.

Kevin was thinking about how to communicate with Wolverine. Caliban, who was standing beside him, calmed down and suddenly asked Kevin:

"Are you... also a new mutant? You look very young."

"No, I'm not actually... a mutant. I was just injected with some kind of drug, which gave me these abilities."

Kevin said tactfully.

Whether or not to admit the identity of a mutant is irrelevant to Kevin's contact with Wolverine and his group.

But since he would need help from others later, Kevin thought it would be better for him to be sincere.

"No wonder I couldn't sense you."

Caliban's doubts seemed to be answered at once, and he nodded in understanding.

He didn't ask any more questions. He was also old, and he was no longer curious about everything.

Because of albinism, Caliban looked quite young, and seemed to be less than 40 years old.

But in fact, as early as the 1980s, Caliban was almost 30 years old.

Now he is even heading for 70 years old.

Having lived for so long, Caliban has seen everything he shouldn't have seen, so there is no need to ask about the details of a stranger.

He just needs to know that this person is here to help him.

"You... have been living here all these years?"

Caliban was silent, and Kevin continued to look for topics.

Caliban looked at the scenery outside the window and replied:

"It's been like this for the past year. Charles...has Alzheimer's disease. When the symptoms occur, his abilities are completely out of control. In order to prevent him from hurting more people, Logan chose to place him here."

"Where is Magneto? Where did he go?"

"Eric? I don't know. I haven't seen him for a long time. Not only me, but also the X-Men. Maybe...his abilities have degenerated and he is lingering somewhere. He is a wanted criminal."

When mentioning Magneto, Caliban's tone did not change.

The dispute between the Brotherhood, which was once led by Magneto, and the X-Men, which was led by Professor X, has now become a thing of the past that cannot be turned back.

The previous identity and the future of mutants are no longer important.

Now Caliban has to rack his brains just to think about what to eat every day.

But Caliban thinks there is nothing wrong with this.

At least they can still get a temporary peace. If Logan buys a boat and goes to the sea with Professor X, they may be able to stay safe forever.

The premise is... Laura doesn't come to the door.

"Is Magneto's Brotherhood gone?"

"Magneto is gone, and his Brotherhood members are of course gone... There is no mutant organization now. Don't you know these things?"

Caliban explained to the end and asked curiously.

Even if Kevin is a special "mutant" who has been injected with drugs in the later period, he should not know nothing about these things.

After all, looking at Kevin's appearance, he doesn't look like a guy who has been locked up in a laboratory since he was a child.

"Don't I know these are strange? After all, I didn't pay attention to their whereabouts before this."

"Then why do you want to come to Charles now?"

"I want to ask something..."

"What is it? Can I know?"

Perhaps because Kevin is very approachable, Caliban no longer cares about anything and asks Kevin's purpose.

Kevin thought for a moment and did not hide anything:

"I'm looking for Jean Grey."

"Jean Grey, the Phoenix?" Caliban was stunned and asked, "Why are you looking for an X-Men who has been dead for twenty years?"

"?"

Twenty years?

Kevin was stunned.

Kevin knew that Jean Grey was dead, but he originally thought that Jean Grey was killed by Professor X when Professor X was ill.

As a result, now it seems that Jean has been dead for a long time?

Twenty years ago... 2009?

Does the timeline of Wolverine 3 follow the timeline after the old trilogy of "X-Men"?

Not the future of "Days of Future Past"? ?

Kevin couldn't help but frown for a moment.

The "X-Men" series of films actually has several timelines.

One timeline is the old trilogy of "X-Men", with Wolverine as the protagonist.

The other is the new tetralogy, with Charles, Eric, and Raven (Mystique) as the protagonists.

In the new tetralogy, there are two timelines.

One is the timeline in which Wolverine returns to the present after reversing the future, and Jean Grey is still alive.

The other is the timeline of "Apocalypse" and "Dark Phoenix".

That is, the timeline in which Jean Grey finally completely merges with the Phoenix Force, cannot transform into a human form, and guards the earth in the sky.

Jean Grey in the latter timeline will definitely not die, because she is the incarnation of the Phoenix Force.

Therefore, Kevin thought that the current world is the timeline after reversing the future, and only in this way can Wolverine and the professor become what they are now.

But I didn't expect...

"Independent universe...?"

Kevin quickly thought that perhaps "Wolverine 3" is different from other X-Men.

This should be a personal plot world that belongs only to Wolverine himself, and has no connection with other worlds.

Just like the "Joker" movie in the DC universe, it has no connection with the main universe.

But even though he understood all this, Kevin felt that it was even more troublesome.

If Jean Grey had died a year ago, it would be fine. The Phoenix Force might still be in Jean Grey's grave, and it wouldn't be difficult for Kevin to contact it.

But now the Phoenix Girl has been dead for twenty years.

In the past twenty years, the Phoenix Force has probably changed countless hosts.

How can Kevin find the Phoenix Force and touch it?

Can he find it by following Wolverine and the others?

After sorting out everything about the X-Men world, Kevin finally felt the difficulty of this matter.

Although the overall combat power of this mission world is not high, it is probably much more difficult than the Marvel Universe.

Maybe... Kevin will stay in this world for a long time.
