The only player in the Marvel universe.

Chapter 196 Emma, ​​is that you?

Under Du Mu's physical and mental hypnosis control, Victor answered every question without hiding anything.

From Victor's fragmented confession, everyone learned that he had been Stryker's henchman for years, responsible for capturing mutants and supplying materials to the laboratory on the island.

The killing of Logan's wife, Kayla, was indeed a carefully orchestrated scheme by Stryker to get Logan to undergo adamantium surgery.

However, Victor then revealed a shocking piece of news.

That means Logan's wife, Kayla, did not die!

In fact, Kayla is also a mutant, codenamed Silver Fox, who possesses the mutant ability to control the thoughts and behaviors of others through touch.

Stryker used Kayla's sister as leverage to force her to get close to Logan and cooperate with Victor in faking his death.

Upon hearing this news, Logan felt completely devastated.

He initially thought it was just a trap, but it turned out to be a series of interconnected schemes, all fake from beginning to end.

Death is fake, revenge is fake, even his wife is a complete idiot!

I can't tell!

I can't tell the difference at all!

After a brief moment of self-doubt, Logan said in a deep voice, "I need to find Kayla and get to the bottom of this."

Victor reveals that Kayla is in Stryker's secret laboratory, and he must go there in person.

John smiled bitterly: "I also need to rescue those trapped mutants. I've captured quite a few people for Stryker in the past, so this is my way of atoning for my sins."

Du Mu nodded: "Since we all share the same goal, let's set off for that island."

Remy:

""

I didn't agree to that!

After Victor revealed the whole truth, Logan lost any desire for revenge.

With the idea that more people mean more strength, Du Mu decided to bring Victor along as well. In any case, he had Victor under his control, so there was no need to worry about Victor resisting or betraying him. Moreover, Victor was his henchman in another instance, so he was easy to use.

Just then, the system's voice suddenly rang in his mind.

[Official distribution of dungeon quests begins]

[Mission: The Undying N-Man Group]

Objective: To assemble a team of at least 6 mutants with high concentrations of healing factor.

[Person (Current Progress: 0/6)]

[Rewards: Calculated based on the final team members]

This dungeon quest came out of nowhere.

Du Mu originally thought the dungeon quest would be triggered by Logan, but unexpectedly it was activated by Victor.

"A high concentration of healing factor, which means even mutants with average healing abilities aren't enough?"

Du Mu frowned; the conditions for completing this task were exceptionally stringent.

It's worth noting that among all the mutants he's encountered so far, the only ones who truly fit this description seem to be the immortal brothers Logan and Victor.

Even if he could invite Logan and Victor to join the immortal squad, where would he find the remaining four members?

Led by Remy, the group arrived in Pennsylvania, a state in the eastern United States, a place that would make even people from Guangdong province laugh.

Stryker's secret laboratory is hidden on the famous Three Mile Island in Pennsylvania.

The island has two nuclear power plants, and a few years ago it experienced an extremely serious nuclear leak accident, considered the pinnacle of nuclear power plant accidents in American history, which led to the island being abandoned for a long time and no one daring to approach it easily.

This desolation provided perfect cover for Stryker's shady experiments.

Since Three Mile Island is an isolated island that can only be reached by boat or plane, Dumu used the small private plane he had won from Remy and had Remy himself pilot it to take them to Three Mile Island.

However, the space in this small private plane is really limited; even when it's packed full, it can only barely fit four people.

With no other option, Du Mu had to have Victor lie on the top of the plane and then secure him firmly with ropes.

Logan showed obvious signs of discomfort during the flight.

This is his old problem; despite possessing a self-healing ability comparable to immortality, he just can't stand flying.

Du Mu and Logan sat in the back of the plane, looking at him with disdain: "Logan, so many years have passed, how come you haven't improved at all? You still can't fly."

Logan suppressed the churning in his stomach and looked at Du Mu with a puzzled expression: "Actually, I've wanted to ask this for a while. You seem to know me very well, but we don't seem to have met before."

In fact, he could always sense that Du Mu was very familiar with him, like a friend he had known for a long time, but Logan was certain that Du Mu was not a person in his long memory.

Du Mu leaned back in his chair with a chuckle: "No, we've met before, just in another parallel universe."

"

Since Logan asked, there was no need for him to hide it anymore, since the game system didn't prohibit him from revealing information about other servers.

What are parallel universes?

Logan never went to school and had absolutely no connection to science. Given the limitations of his era, it's normal that he didn't understand the theory of parallel universes.

Du Mu explained simply: "You can think of it as another similar Earth, where there is also a Logan who experienced something similar to what you did."

Logan didn't quite understand, but he was deeply shocked: "So... you're from another world?"

"That's one way to think about it."

Du Mu nodded and said, "In that world, I founded the Brotherhood. You and Victor were the most loyal members of the organization, risking your lives for the Brotherhood. Later, you even voluntarily donated all your wealth. I didn't want it at first, but you insisted on begging me to accept it. I couldn't refuse you, so I reluctantly agreed."

Logan:

'

'

Are you sure those two idiots are really me and Victor?

"If you don't believe me, I still have your video here."

As Du Mu spoke, he took out his phone and asked the game system to send over some screen recording clips.

Logan had never seen a smartphone before, so he curiously picked it up and examined it.

But soon, he discovered that the screen was filled with videos of himself: videos of everyone else making a cool entrance while he vomited, videos of him vomiting in mid-air while piloting the Green Goblin hang glider, videos of him getting beaten up by Sebastian...

Damn it, how come it's all his dark history?!

Logan cursed inwardly, but had to admit that the disheveled guy in the video was indeed himself, just a little older, a little idiot, and a little more irritable.

"Who is this guy?"

He frowned and pointed at Sebastian, who was beating him up in the video.

Even though it's from another world, I still felt really annoyed seeing myself get beaten up like that.

"His name is Sebastian Shaw. He's an incredibly powerful mutant who can absorb and convert energy. However, he's too ambitious. He secretly plotted to have the United States and Red Bear Country plant mushrooms on each other in an attempt to start Season 3. In order to save the world, we joined forces to take him down."

"Then why did he keep hitting me?"

"Well, maybe he just doesn't like you..."

"

Du Mu felt a little guilty. He couldn't very well say that he had tricked Logan from another world, causing Logan to be targeted by Sebastian.

He quickly changed the subject: "In short, in the end we worked together to defeat Sebastian, successfully prevented the Bago crisis, and saved the world. After that battle, the Brotherhood's reputation soared, and you and Victor chose to stay with the Brotherhood to continue contributing to the organization."

"It sounds... pretty good."

Logan muttered something under his breath, a hint of inexplicable envy flashing through his mind.

He didn't know if Sebastian had been involved in the crisis in this world, but he remembered that he and Victor had just escaped from another war and were hiding in some unknown American bar, numbing themselves with alcohol. They had never joined any organization, let alone saved the world.

It wasn't until later, when Stryker took a liking to the two brothers, that they joined the special forces unit, which was full of mutants. They did a lot of dirty work for them, but eventually, unable to bear the torment of their conscience, they chose to leave and break with Victor.

Then came the series of events he is experiencing now.

Compared to himself, he was living a much better life in the other world.

Seeing this, Du Mu kindly comforted him, "Don't be discouraged. There are endless parallel universes, and every Logan's experience is different. Besides, you're not entirely worse than that Logan. At least you have a wife, even if it's fake."

Logan:

'

'

Thank you, but I wasn't comforted at all.

He didn't ask any more questions because a sudden wave of intense dizziness and nausea washed over him.

Anyone who gets carsick or airsick knows that using your phone will only make you feel worse.

Du Mu's eyes widened immediately: "Holy crap! Remy, open the window for some fresh air! Logan's about to throw up!"

"Brother, where's the window on this plane?!"

"Then open the hatch!"

"No... I can't take it anymore... Yu!"

"Hurry up!!"

In a flurry of activity, just as Logan vomited, Du Mu delivered a powerful kick to his side, sending him flying out of the cabin without even a parachute.

Remy and John silently gave him a thumbs up.

Logan getting injured is a minor matter; what's a major matter is that they vomited and felt nauseous in the cabin.

In order not to give away their tracks prematurely, their plane could not land directly on Three Mile Island. Du Mu ordered Victor to cut the rope and jump down, and then grabbed John and brought him to the cabin door.

"John, are you ready?"

"Wait! We haven't brought a grappling hook yet!"

Before he could finish speaking, Du Mu had already grabbed him and leaped away, the whistling wind instantly drowning out John's unfinished shouts.

Remy: —

Did these two forget to bring their parachutes?

night sky.

Du Mu, riding the Green Devil hang glider and holding John with one hand, traced an arc across the sea and landed steadily on the rocky beach at the edge of Three Mile Island.

John, still shaken, said, "That scared me to death! I thought I was going to be smashed to pieces."

Du Mu retracted the Green Goblin glider, unconcerned: "What are you afraid of? Don't you know how to teleport? Just jump a few more times and you'll be on the shore."

"Even so, it won't reduce the force of gravity and inertia during the fall; you'll still be half-dead when you hit the ground."

"They already have superpowers, yet they still insist on scientific principles?"

"6

'

Just as Du Mu stepped onto Three Mile Island, the system notification sounded at the perfect moment.

[Mission Tracking Clues] Completion

[Rewards: 1000 EXP, Logan's Affection +10, "Rebirth Pill", "Motion Sickness Patches"]

[Item: Rebirth Pill (After ingestion, the user's blood and bones will be replaced and renewed. The process is extremely painful. Please use with caution.)]

[Item: Motion sickness patch (applied to the target's body, it causes the target to experience a persistent feeling of motion sickness and nausea for up to twelve hours)]

"Motion sickness patches are supposed to prevent motion sickness, so how did they end up causing it?"

Du Mu looked at the system description and was somewhat speechless.

The items produced by this game system always have such strange effects.

The two waited on the shore for a while before they saw Logan and Victor climb out of the sea, soaking wet.

"Fuck! I swear, I'll never fly again in my life!"

Logan cursed under his breath.

He just fell pretty hard. Even though it was the sea below, that height was no different from falling on concrete.

Victor was in the same boat. Perhaps due to the severe injuries from the fall, the intense self-healing reaction gradually restored his shattered consciousness.

Du Mu noticed that his mental control over Victor had suddenly weakened. Without saying a word, he rushed forward and started punching Victor's face repeatedly. The little bit of spirit that Victor had just gathered instantly dissipated, and he fell back into a blank, dazed state.

John's lips twitched: "Logan, are you sure Du Mu and Victor don't have some personal grudge?"

"Uh, probably not."

After regaining control over Victor's mind, the group stealthily made their way to the experimental base in the center of the island under the cover of night.

John encountered several patrols along the way, but using his invisibility and teleportation abilities, he took them down one by one without anyone noticing, without even triggering the alarm, and successfully made his way to the gate of the experimental base.

Du Mu took out the master key and opened the door. The group of people quietly sneaked into the experimental base.

Logan said, "I need to go find Kayla. I'll talk to you guys later."

"Okay, then be careful."

Du Mu nodded, and after watching Logan turn and leave, he instructed Victor, "Take us to the area where the mutants are imprisoned."

Stryker has captured so many mutants over the years, and there might be one or two among them who possess healing abilities.

Victor nodded blankly, then turned and walked deeper into the corridor, becoming a guide.

Following Victor, Du Mu and John arrived at a heavy iron gate and casually killed several soldiers guarding it.

Victor pulled the lever next to him, and the gate slowly rose with a low rumble.

Behind the door was a spacious yet oppressive space.

Dozens of special cages were neatly arranged, each holding a mutant. Most of them were pale-faced and had blank eyes. Many mutants also wore various strange devices, which seemed to be instruments specifically designed to target their abilities.

Du Mu glanced around, his gaze suddenly landing on a blond figure, and his expression froze.

"Emma, ​​is that you?"
