Chapter 269 Stop saving the future, save the past instead.
With Eric, the Iron King, assisting, the construction speed increased dramatically, reducing the construction period by more than half.
To be honest, the way he wore the helmet and fastened his chin did give him a certain construction site look.
Apart from Eric, the other workers on the construction team were ordinary people.
However, with Charles, the telepath, around, there's no need to worry about them revealing the situation here.
Not only them, but any ordinary person in Xavier's Academy will have their memories automatically corrected once they leave the academy's territory, and will only regain their memories the next time they return.
It is precisely because of this guarantee that they can hire ordinary people without any scruples.
After all, not every job is suitable for mutants.
The number of mutants in the entire Xavier's School of the Arts who can hold such an important position as a teacher can be counted on two hands, and most of them can only become physical education teachers.
As for subjects like mathematics, physics, and biology, which involve advanced knowledge, only Charles and Hank in the entire Xavier's School are capable of handling them, but they each have a lot of things to do and can't spend every day in class.
For this reason, most of the teachers in Xavier's School of the Arts are ordinary people.
However, Charles secretly added a layer of cognitive fog to them, so that they would not find anything strange about Xavier's School of the Arts, and would treat it as a normal school, thus avoiding unnecessary trouble.
Influenced by Du Mu, Charles in this world is more adaptable than his counterparts in other universes.
To put it bluntly, it means that the moral bottom line is flexible.
In Charles's view, a little bit of driving doesn't count as driving and doesn't violate his principles.
Of course, Charles firmly rejected ideas like "erasing memories means no more pay," and said that the suggestion from a certain unscrupulous capitalist surnamed Du was excellent, and advised against making such suggestions again.
"Speaking of which, so many days have passed, why hasn't the dungeon quest been triggered yet?"
Du Mu looked at Charles and Eric at the construction site, somewhat puzzled.
Based on past dungeon patterns, the quest notification should have been triggered by now.
But so far, there hasn't been a single dungeon quest, not even a side quest. Everything is calm and peaceful, and it doesn't seem like anything has happened.
"Could it be that the trigger point for the dungeon quest isn't here, but somewhere else?"
Du Mu stroked his chin as he analyzed.
The problem is that Charles and Eric, the two main characters representing the good and evil sides of the X-Men series, along with Wolf, the pillar of the X-Men series, are all in this place.
Unless someone like Wade is a third-rate player who can't afford to hire these popular celebrities, these three are basically unavoidable whenever a major event occurs.
He couldn't think of anywhere else to trigger a dungeon quest besides here.
After thinking about it, Du Mu decided to try his luck with Logan.
"Logan, this is our last chance. Whether we succeed or not depends on you."
"Change the past, save the future!"
Logan suddenly opened his eyes.
The gloomy temple is gone, replaced by a lush green woodland with a lake nearby.
Sunlight filtered through the leaves, warm and comforting, a stark contrast to that bleak and hopeless future.
He covered his forehead, feeling as if his mind was filled with mush.
But soon, memories that did not belong to this body began to emerge.
That's the timeline fifty years from now.
For mutants, it was a dark and apocalyptic world.
Humans created a type of robot called Sentinel, which began hunting down mutants all over the world.
These sentinel robots can detect the X-gene of any mutant and can even replicate and use mutant abilities, freely switching between multiple abilities.
This terrifying ability makes them invincible; most mutants who encounter them are simply outmatched.
What's even more terrifying is that the Sentinel robots are mass-produced, one batch after another, making them impossible to kill off completely.
Even a powerful mutant like Magneto would struggle to withstand hordes of Sentinel robots.
The mutant population is facing its greatest survival crisis in history due to the large-scale hunting by Sentinel robots.
Even with Professor X and Magneto, the two leaders of mutants, joining forces, they could not stop the Sentinel robots and could only watch helplessly as their fellow mutants were killed one by one.
Within a few years, the mutant population was almost wiped out. The remaining mutants went into hiding, but they could not escape the pursuit of the Sentinel robots. Those Sentinel robots were like having a cheat code that could find the mutants no matter where they hid.
Fortunately, there was a mutant in their team named Shadowcat who could send people's consciousness back to their past bodies. Whenever the Sentinel robots came knocking, Shadowcat would use his ability to send people back to the past to remind their past selves.
Just like playing a game, you quickly load a save file and start over before your progress is automatically saved.
Thanks to this invincible save/load technique, they managed to escape countless deadly situations.
But running away like this every day isn't a solution.
After a save file was loaded, the men gathered together, and suddenly someone came up with an idea to go all out.
That is to select a representative from among them, let him travel across decades of time, go back to the past to completely rewrite history, prevent the appearance of the Sentinel robots from the root, and achieve an E ending.
And this heavy responsibility fell on Logan's shoulders.
To be honest, such an important task should have been given to Professor X or Magneto, those two mutant bigwigs.
They have the ability and the wisdom, making them much more reliable than Logan, that brainless brute.
Unfortunately, time travel is a dangerous activity. No one can withstand such a long span of time travel. Only Logan, with his healing factor, can withstand the damage caused by time travel.
Now, Logan's consciousness is no longer that Logan, but Logan from fifty years in the future.
Logan sorted out his chaotic thoughts and took a deep breath.
This matter is of utmost importance; success or failure hinges on this moment. No matter how difficult it may be, he must complete the mission!
"Logan! Logan!"
Just as I was thinking this, I suddenly heard a shout.
Logan turned his head and saw a boy wearing red glasses.
"Scott?"
Logan recognized the familiar look and was immediately stunned.
Scott, oblivious to Logan's change in the future, complained, "Logan, I was talking to you, how come you fell asleep halfway through the conversation?"
"Do we...know each other?"
Logan was a little confused about the future.
In his memory, Scott was already an adult when he met him.
But this kid in front of me is clearly still a little kid who hasn't grown up yet, so why does he act like he knows him so well?
Scott looked speechless. "Are you still half asleep? The organization assigned me to work with you a while ago, and you've been the one mentoring me these past few days." "The organization?"
Logan was even more confused about the future.
Did I have this storyline with Scott?
"Let's not talk about that now, look over there."
Scott pointed to the lakeside.
Logan followed the gaze and saw a girl sitting there fishing, her back slender, with red hair flowing down her shoulders.
His pupils contracted slightly.
Even though it was just her back view, and she looked so much younger, he recognized her at a glance as Jean Grey, the girl he had longed for.
What do you think of that girl?
Scott scratched his head, a shy smile on his face, like a young man confessing his crush and asking for advice. Future Logan stared at the retreating figure, somewhat dazed, and blurted out unconsciously.
"Very good, very young, I like it."
Scott: "???"
When I type a question mark, it's not that I have a problem, but rather that I think you have a problem.
Logan then snapped out of his daze, realizing what he'd said, and coughed lightly. "What I meant was, this girl seems pretty good." Scott looked him over with suspicion and asked in a low voice, "So, do you think she'd be a good match for me?"
I think it suits me better!
Logan patted Scott on the shoulder, adopting the air of someone who's been there all along, and said earnestly, "You're still young. Studying is the most important thing for you right now. Don't put your mind on anything else."
There was nothing else to it; he simply couldn't bear to see the future X-Men captain waste his prime years on romance and squander his talent and abilities.
He can bear this heavy burden; he has plenty of time and isn't afraid of wasting it.
Before Scott could reply, Future Logan continued, "By the way, what did you mean by the organization you mentioned earlier?"
He had many questions in his mind.
Not only did a younger version of Scott and Jean appear, but the young Scott before him actually recognized him and acted as if they were old friends. Moreover, after carefully surveying his surroundings, he finally recognized this as Charles's estate, the address of Xavier's School of Management. But according to his memory, he shouldn't have known about Xavier's School of Management at this time, let alone been here.
How did he end up here?
Scott looked at Future Logan with a strange expression: "I think you're really asleep. There's only one organization here, what else could it mean but that?"
Logan paused for a moment, thinking, "This is Xavier's School, Charles's territory, so what else could the organization Scott was talking about be?"
He suddenly realized: "Could you be referring to ×...?"
"That's right, it's the Brotherhood!"
Future Logan: "???"
What the hell! ?
He stared at Scott, wondering if he had misheard.
"What did you say? The Brotherhood?"
"yes!"
Scott nodded, looking completely matter-of-fact: "What else could it be but the fraternity?"
X-Men, of course!
Logan's mind was buzzing, and his voice trembled slightly: "Wait, you said the organization arranged for you, you wouldn't happen to be a member of the Brotherhood, would you!?" "How could that be?"
Upon hearing this, Logan breathed a sigh of relief.
"I knew it! How could you possibly be in the Brotherhood...?"
"I'm still an intern now. I'll be a full member of the fraternity after the assessment is over!"
Scott's words were full of pride, as if this was something to be proud of.
Future Logan:
Damn, the number one X-Men fanatic is proudly declaring himself a member of the Brotherhood. It's terrifying!
Logan gritted his teeth: "You're Scott! How could you join the fraternity?!"
Although he and Magneto had long since reconciled, he and his old comrades still considered themselves X-Men and were proud of it. He felt deeply betrayed by Scott's actions.
"What are you talking about?"
Scott was baffled by his reaction: "I'm just an intern, but you're a full member of the fraternity." Future Logan: "...Huh?"
Scott said earnestly, "I've heard your story before. You and your brother Victor were among the first members to join the Brotherhood, and you're much more senior than me."
Future Logan:
Is Victor here too?
Well, that's not surprising, since that guy was a fraternity member.
Scott continued, "Not only that, you were also among the most loyal members. Back when our organization was still in its infancy, you two donated all the last $140 you had to the fraternity. That deed is still displayed on the Xavier's Hall of Fame, so that we can all learn from your spirit."
Future Logan:
He was no longer able to speak.
Scott joining the fraternity was already outrageous enough, but now he's even become a fraternity elder himself.
What kind of magical plot is this?!
At this moment, Logan's mind was in complete chaos.
He couldn't tell if he had really traveled back in time, or if it was all a hallucination the Sentinel robots had before killing him. Suddenly, Logan from the future had a flash of inspiration and grasped a crucial point.
"Wait, isn't this Xavier's Academy?"
"yes."
"So Charles is the headmaster of Xavier's School, right?"
"yes."
"That's not right!"
Logan seemed to grasp at a last straw: "How could Charles possibly allow the Brotherhood to run rampant here?"
"Oh, you mean Professor X? He's the vice-leader of the fraternity. What's the problem with our organization operating on our own turf?"
In the future, Logan closed his eyes, and the anxiety that had been hanging in the air finally died.
How can this save the future?
Perhaps it would be better to have future Charles send more reinforcements to save this terrible past, and incidentally, save himself as well. Future Logan, having given up the struggle, casually asked, "What about Magneto?"
Scott immediately replied, "He is also a founding member of the fraternity, and together with Professor X, they are known as the two giants of the fraternity."
He had long sensed that something was wrong with Logan in the future.
If he wasn't mistaken, this was probably one of the tests for his official employment, and the questions the other party asked were all tests to see him through.
Clever as I am!
"Founding members?"
Future Logan was taken aback: "Magneto isn't the leader of the Brotherhood?"
Good grief, there are even trick questions.
Scott's expression turned serious: "How could that be! Magneto is powerful, but he's still far inferior to our Brotherhood leader!"
"Listen carefully, our great Brotherhood leader is not only incredibly powerful and unfathomable, but also handsome, intelligent, brave, gentle, benevolent, and humble..."
Future Logan:
No wonder Charles recommended you to be the X-Men captain. You're such a good flatterer, who else would take the job if not you?
However, as Logan listened, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Why does this kid keep glancing behind me when he's talking?
He turned around and was surprised to find a young man standing behind him, looking at him with a grin.
Future Logan:
Although he had never seen him before, he was certain that the man in front of him was the leader of the Brotherhood.
