Chapter 44 - 41

"Ah!!!"

She screamed, but the mother quickly regained her composure and began to search for a gun in a drawer.

Logan, without a word, steeled his heart and pounced.

But at this moment, Shadowcat, who was maintaining the time travel, found it difficult to continue; her power was still too weak, causing the entire timeline to begin collapsing before it could converge and close.

The timeline collapsed.

This meant that all interfering factors that had not yet been completed would be readjusted.

Logan's figure thus vanished before Alex's mother.

"A ghost?"

Alex's mother felt a surge of terror.

Thinking that her two teenage children were still in the house, to ensure their safety, she woke them up, then grabbed her gun and walked out the door, attempting to check for safety.

Although the timeline had not closed and had not truly interfered with reality, the lingering effects of the attempt to interfere with the timeline echoed all around, projecting into Alex's mother's mind.

The story of the ghost thus spread.

And then… after Logan returned to his own timeline.

Alex also realized something was wrong and sensed the aftershocks of reality, frowning.

This sense of insecurity made him feel the malice of the world even more.

Who exactly was targeting him…

PS: It shouldn't be too brain-burning. Logan did travel back to his past self, but the timeline didn't close, so everything reset to zero, and his figure disappeared directly, but the aftershocks of the timeline's return still caused a mental projection, leading to the legend of the ghost.

PS2: Someone answered correctly, so it's updated directly. It's an adaptation of the movie "X-Men: Days of Future Past"..

"Damn it, just a little bit…"

Wolverine said furiously after waking up from the stone platform.

Just a little bit.

He was just a little bit away from breaking into the other party's residence, killing the young Alex, reversing the future, and all timelines would have been replaced.

"I'm sorry, my ability is still too weak."

Shadowcat, who found it difficult to maintain and caused the collapse of all timelines, said apologetically.

However, she also asked curiously, "Was the time point I sent you to correct? Did you see General Stryker who arrested Alex at that time?"

Wolverine pondered for a moment upon hearing this.

The timeline was naturally incorrect.

However, compared to rescuing Alex, he suddenly thought that killing the unawakened Alex once and for all would be a more satisfying way.

"Hmm, keep that feeling."

Logan's eyes became somewhat deep.

He was a bit impatient and urged directly, "How long until the next time travel can be activated?"

"It will take about two days."

Shadowcat said with a wry smile.

She couldn't use this newly awakened ability, a secondary awakening, with ease.

However, Iceman, an X-Men in the tent, thought of a more reliable plan.

"If I remember correctly, a child once came to Xavier's School for help. His ability was 'Amplifier,' strengthening the expression of the X-Gene, which means enhancing our abilities. We might need his help."

"Do you remember his address?"

"Hmm, I have some impression."

"Quicksilver, this task is yours. Find him as soon as possible."

...At the same time.

Manhattan City, in a high-rise apartment.

Alex was already convinced that someone was secretly trying to interfere with the timeline. Without needing to think much, the other party must have gone to his past hometown residence, to the extent that they had made an impression on his mother and sister.

"Damn it."

His expression was somewhat serious.

Compared to facing a nuclear explosion and thousands of enemies, this invisible killer secretly tampering with the timeline was the most daunting thing.

In any case, this act of attempting to harm him undoubtedly stimulated him, and his infinitely evolving genes began to transform.

"Are you okay?"

On the other side, Hit-Girl Mindy, who lived in the same large apartment, walked over.

Alex shook his head.

Such things involving reality rewriting and timeline changes could not be explained clearly in a short while.

"In two days, it will be General Stryker's public trial. What do you plan to do?"

Due to the Rising Tide Organization publicly exposing General Stryker's series of illegal activities, such as abduction and human experimentation, and even causing a thirteen-year-old child to completely turn dark, public opinion pressure forced him to appear in court.

To appease public opinion, the entire case also needed to be publicly tried.

Mindy could actually see Alex's hesitation these past few days. After all, he was no longer alone; the gentleness he showed while accompanying Susan for many days made him seem like a kind older brother next door, completely unlike his previous cold and ruthless self.

Sometimes she even thought that perhaps retiring completely after revenge would be a good thing.

She sometimes saw a trace of confusion in Alex, seemingly uncertain about the future, especially after having a young sister by his side, which made his thoughts even more cautious.

Anyway, the world is vast; is there anywhere he couldn't stay?

At this moment, Alex also gave a ruthless answer.

"I will publicly execute him with my own hands on that day."

Executing an opponent in plain sight, even in the public eye?

Mindy opened her mouth.

As for the arrangements after revenge?

She didn't ask further.

Because at this moment, she didn't know what happened, but she felt a suppressed killing intent from Alex.

"No matter what, I will always support you."

A smile appeared on Mindy's flawless white face.

At this moment.

She raised her phone and said excitedly, "Remember that girl from the Rising Tide Organization? She contacted me again in some way. I have some information about a base General Stryker built, which you might be interested in."

...These past few days, a girl from the Rising Tide Organization had been secretly contacting Mindy directly.

In her fright at the time, Mindy even planned to completely change her number and leave the high-rise apartment she was living in.

However… unexpectedly, the other party expressed goodwill and was willing to provide help to the so-called Number One Mutant Alex.

A fan girl?

Or a Mutant enthusiast with top-notch hacking skills?

Mindy was somewhat surprised internally.

However, thinking that the organization the other party belonged to had already publicly disclosed information extremely unfavorable to the officials, she figured they shouldn't be enemies.

And now, that never-before-seen Chinese girl had just sent over another extremely important secret base document.

The next morning.

After finishing breakfast, Alex traveled through space alone, arriving from his residence in less than a second to a scenic mountainous area.

This was already at least hundreds of kilometers away.
