Chapter 48 - Desperate Situation

"So, when I close my eyes and wake up again, my consciousness will return to my younger body, at some unknown time and place, is that right?"

Logan, having understood how it all worked, spoke with a strange mix of emotions.

"Exactly, Logan. After you go back to the past, you must find me at my mansion and figure out a way to convince me that everything you say is true."

"You need to do what I once did for you: make me believe you, guide me, help me, and help me find myself again."

"You'll need some patience, because I was a bit different back then."

Professor X instructed Logan.

"Patience has never been my strong suit."

"I don't understand. You could clearly know everything by reading my mind."

Logan was somewhat unable to comprehend why the Professor would say that.

"Because that year, I didn't have that ability."

The Professor didn't tell Logan the detailed reason.

In fact, it was because the Professor had previously been accidentally injured in the spine by his good friend Magneto, which left him unable to stand.

Later, he injected a serum made by Beast Hank, which healed his spinal injury and allowed him to stand again, but the serum suppressed his Mutant gene, causing him to lose his abilities.

"You also need to find me, because I was the one who led Raven down that dark path."

At this moment, Lao Wan also walked over and said to Logan.

"That sounds like good news. So, where should I go to find you then?"

Logan knew the Professor was at his mansion, which later became the X-Mansion.

But he had no idea where to look for Magneto!

"My situation was also a bit special back then; I was being held in a special prison, one hundred floors underground. Charles knows the exact location."

Lao Wan felt a bit embarrassed mentioning it, after all, he was the only one who became a prisoner.

He had merely subtly controlled the bullet that flew out of the gun barrel, making it curve and fly into the chest of a man named John F. Kennedy, who happened to be the President of the United States at the time.

"Oh, and Logan, you can start by looking for Shen. He was at Kamar-Taj, the sacred land of magic atop the Himalayas, at that time."

"I believe with his wisdom, he should be able to help you convince me quickly."

Just as Logan was about to lie down, the Professor suddenly said to him.

"Shen, was he already on Earth at that time?"

Logan was a bit surprised. Although he knew Shen Mu, that was much later!

And at that time, Shen Mu was often not on Earth.

"Of course, he told me he arrived on Earth then."

"If he had always been here, we Mutants would never have suffered such a fate."

At this point, Professor X's tone was filled with deep regret.

"I'm ready, Kitty, you can start!"

Wolverine, who was already prepared, said to his beloved student.

"Professor Logan, once you fall into a deep sleep, your mind will return to the past."

"While you exist in the past, your current self will not disappear, but when you wake up, whatever you did will become true history."

"This means that besides yourself, none of us will remember these events."

Shadow Cat Kitty explained the implications of changing the past to Logan.

"I'm already used to bearing loneliness alone!"

Logan said, as if with some understanding.

Hearing this, Kitty felt her eyes suddenly itch, but she still controlled herself and said:

"Professor Logan, relax now. I'm going to clear your mind and help you stay as calm as possible."

"Why is that?"

"Because if your emotions fluctuate too much, it will be very difficult for me to grasp your consciousness, let alone send it to the past!"

"OK, let's do it. See you later!"

With these words, Logan slowly closed his eyes, maintaining a peaceful state of mind as his student had instructed.

In his opinion, it was no different from taking a nap.

"It's going to sting a little now, you need to stay calm."

Shadow Cat slowly placed her hands on Logan's temples and began to activate her ability.

"Do you really think we can reverse the future?"

Magneto, standing nearby, asked his decades-long friend.

"He will succeed, I have faith in him."

Professor X, however, was full of confidence in Wolverine.

Perhaps he was also comforting himself and others around him in this way!

At this moment, Wolverine, who had just received Kitty's ability, instantly felt countless needles piercing his mind, and the immense pain made him roar.

His adamantium claws also uncontrollably pierced through his skin and emerged.

However, gradually, he felt his consciousness begin to float to the surface like a bubble.

The next moment, he slowly opened his eyes.

He found himself lying on a comfortable waterbed, with a woman's arm still draped over his shoulder.

Turning his head, he saw a woman's face he no longer remembered.

He gently removed her hand, then rolled out of bed, found his pants on the floor and put them on, looked at his current appearance in the mirror, and then slightly pulled back a corner of the curtain to look outside.

The buildings and advertisements, filled with a sense of the era, let Logan know that he had successfully returned!

Just as he was about to quietly leave, the door suddenly opened, and three men walked in.

"Hey, who are you guys? What's going on?!"

Logan no longer remembered what his past self had done at this time!

One of the men said to the startled woman on the bed, "Quick, put on your clothes."

Another, somewhat angrily, yelled at Logan, "You ask me what happened? Our boss hired you to guard his daughter, not to guard her in bed."

"Wait, I didn't do this, or rather, the past me did it, not the current me."

"Because I only arrived here twenty seconds ago."

"Do you believe I'm from the future?"

Logan tried to explain to them.

But what he said made the three men feel like they were being fooled!

"Miss, you go out first. We'll take good care of him next."

The man said to the woman.

"No, I don't think you will. You'll leave your wallets and car keys, or you'll wake up in a hospital, trust me."

Logan remembered Kitty telling him to remain calm, so he spoke to the three men in a calm manner.

"Why? Is it just because you're from the future?"

The man said, scoffing at Logan.

"No, it's this!"

He instinctively reached out for his adamantium claws, but at this moment, Logan realized he was extending six bone claws instead.

Seeing that something was wrong, the three men immediately pulled out their guns and started shooting.

But they were quickly dumbfounded!

Because the bullets that shot into Wolverine's body were quickly pushed out, leaving no trace of injury.

Then Logan showed no mercy to those who dared to shoot, quickly and easily ending the fight.

He took their wallets and car keys and left.

"The Professor said Shen is already on Earth now, and I believe with him there, it should be easy to convince the younger Professor."

"However, he's in the Master's Sanctum in the Himalayas, which is quite a distance."

Thinking of this, he decided to go to the airport first to buy a plane ticket to find Shen Mu.

However, he forgot that going abroad required a passport, and he didn't have one!
