Chapter 177 On the Rising Sun

Seeing Kevin jumping and flexing his muscles in front of him, looking like he was fine, Logan finally reacted:

"Wait...stop for a moment! You...you're not dead?!"

"Isn't that natural? Do you think a sniper bullet can kill me?"

Kevin looked at Logan with a weird look on his face.

Kevin, who could not even be killed by a nuclear bomb, was killed by a mere sniper bullet. That was too little regard for his level 5 physique.

"Then you just...you...your pupils..."

Logan was speaking incoherently.

Just now, Kevin died with his eyes open, and his pupils were dilated, just like a person dying.

Logan, who had seen countless deaths, was pretty sure of this.

And he couldn't feel Kevin's heartbeat or body temperature, so he was sure that Kevin was dead.

But what is happening now? !

"It's just pretending to be dead. It's very simple. Stop the blood flow in the body and stop the heartbeat. As for the dilation of the pupils, you can do it with a little water control skills. So don't be so surprised Logan, I'm not dead yet."

Kevin tore off his blood-stained clothes and threw them to the ground while answering Logan's questions.

The ability to control water, a little bit of acting skills, and strong cardiopulmonary abilities ultimately created an extremely realistic death scene.

Don’t do six basic things.jpg

After a brief period of confusion, Logan finally understood the principle of Kevin's "resurrection from the dead". He frowned with an indescribably weird expression:

"So you were never dead from the beginning??"

"Of course! Let me tell you clearly, Logan. With my current body defense, except for the highest level of human weapons, nuclear bombs, almost no weapons can cause harm to my body."

"Then why did you just...pretend to be dead?"

"Performance!" Kevin said matter-of-factly: "As the person who exposes Alkali's dark side, if I am killed by Alkali, they won't be able to explain it even if they have ten thousand mouths."

And if Kevin dies, it's okay. Alkali eliminates a troublesome opponent like Kevin, so it's not like he gained nothing.

But unfortunately, Kevin is not dead, and has gone from the bright side to the dark side, and will guide Logan and others to continue targeting the Alkali Group.

Kevin's targeting of them didn't end until Alkali completely collapsed and went bankrupt.

So the Alkali Group really lost this time. They probably never expected to encounter Kevin, the sixth man from another world.

There is another more important reason.

Kevin's reputation is a bit high in the world of "Wolverine 3". If he were still alive, Kevin would be restrained by his fame no matter what he did.

And he will also be imposed on responsibilities that do not belong to him by the people.

For example, follow the example of Professor X and establish a mutant academy.

To be honest, the position of president of the Watt Group has already given Kevin a headache. If he becomes the dean of the mutant academy, Kevin will probably be exhausted in the future.

Besides, he is not suitable to be the leader of mutants.

He's not a mutant!

So after thinking about it, Kevin simply took advantage of this opportunity to "fake his own death" to escape. This not only aroused public anger against the Alkali Group, but also got rid of the responsibility that might be imposed on Kevin.

It’s a win-win!

Refers to Kevin winning twice.

"Kevin, has anyone ever told you that you're such an asshole?"

After realizing that his feelings were completely in vain, Logan scolded Kevin mercilessly.

It was in vain that he was so sad just now, thinking that Kevin was really dead, but it turned out that Kevin was just faking it! !

Bah, what a waste of feelings!

Kevin’s playful reply:

"Thanks for the compliment."

Although this is not a compliment at all, for Kevin, being a jerk is better than actually being a good person.

Logan stopped talking to Kevin.

After confirming that Kevin was really fine, the two simply tidied up and quickly returned to the cabin next to the observation tower.

Underneath the cabin, there is a basement that Rector opened up with his own abilities, where Professor X and Caliban are hiding.

Kevin and Logan returned to confirm their safety.

Caliban was okay, but Professor X was quite frightened by the previous bomb.

The old Charles couldn't stand the fright. He kept talking about the children and worried about their safety.

Fortunately, their lives were not in danger.

Now that everything is over, the children successfully crossed the border to Canada, and Professor X, Caliban and Logan were not dead.

Kevin, who participated in this plot and killed the important character Sandel, gained a full ten skill points this time.

And this is not the end. As the incident of ‘Kevin’s Death’ intensifies, Kevin will also gain more skill points in the future.

So now there's only one last thing left.

Buy Professor X a boat.

A ship called the Rising Sun.

…

Three days later, somewhere on the unknown sea.

Wolverine Logan is wearing a floral shirt and sunglasses lying on the deck of a yacht to bask in the sun.

Beside him, Professor

Kevin leaned on the railing next to the yacht, playing with his mobile phone and watching the current discussions on the Internet.

As expected, the incident of ‘Kevin’s death’ caused an uproar on the Internet.

Reports like "They Killed a Hero" and "Why Such Tragic Things Happened in This Country" emerged one after another on the Internet.

The popularity of these events, plus the popularity of the previous events, provided Kevin with a full five skill points within a few days.

In total, Kevin's skill points have once again exceeded the 20 mark and are heading straight for 30.

Kevin has not used these skill points for the time being.

After switching to the second profession, there must be many skills waiting for Kevin to click.

In order to avoid seeing the skills he likes but not having the skill points to light up, Kevin decided to keep them for the time being.

And even if he doesn't have the skills he likes at that time, he can accumulate them for a few more days and accumulate 32 skill points to upgrade a basic skill to level 6.

"Hey, bastard, when are you going to see Jean?"

Kevin browsed the Internet and calculated the skill points.

Logan, who was lying on the deck behind him, suddenly asked.

A few days later, after buying a yacht, Kevin was not in a hurry to find Jean Grey.

Logan was busy "moving" these days and didn't ask Kevin.

Now that he finally had time, he remembered to ask.

"Wait until you finish your work."

Kevin glanced at Logan.

Logan's eyes moved under his sunglasses and looked at Kevin:

"Isn't my work done?"

The biggest thing they had before was to buy the Rising Sun. Now that the Rising Sun was in hand, Charles and Caliban had also moved to the ship. After being busy for a few days, they were in a state of doing nothing.

What else are they going to do?

"Do you really think you're done?"

Kevin pointed out something and looked at Charles.

Logan seemed to understand something. He took off his sunglasses and sighed:

"Okay, I roughly know what you are going to say, but it's impossible. I'm old and don't have the energy to run a school."

After moving to the ship, Charles talked a lot with Logan when he was sober.

It's true that the children crossed the border to Canada, but they are not necessarily safe.

No one knows what the situation is in Canada. It's also unknown whether the shelter is a real place or a trap to lure people over.

Charles judged that one day in the future, the children will ask Logan for help again.

Mutants will also ask Logan for help.

So Logan needs to take over Charles's mantle, rebuild the mutant school, and give mutant children a safe home.

Charles wanted Logan to do this, but Logan now doesn't have the energy.

"Your body... will gradually recover."

Kevin suddenly said.

"Nonsense." Logan didn't believe Kevin's words at all, "I know my situation better than you."

"Well, I don't refute this, but you are definitely not as clear as I am about the genetic food of the Alkali Group."

"..."

"I think you should understand that the self-healing factor in your body is gradually ineffective. The genetic food of the Alkali Group is the most critical factor, and you haven't eaten anything produced by the Alkali Group recently, so as long as you want to survive, your body will slowly recover."

Kevin came over and sat next to Logan, and whispered to him.

There are many factors that caused Logan's self-healing ability to gradually disappear.

He had once been absorbed by the ungrateful wolf of the little Japanese, and had also suffered from nuclear bomb radiation, as well as the genetic medicine of the Alkali Group.

All these things can be the cause of his self-healing factor failing.

But the most critical thing here is not these external things, but Logan's heart.

He wants to die, and has lost the idea and motivation to live.

And this feeling of despair in the world has exacerbated the disappearance of Logan's ability.

Even now, no matter what radiation or genetic drugs, they are no longer the main reason for Logan's aging.

His heart that does not want to live is.

"Why don't you do it yourself?" Logan suddenly asked Kevin, "You are younger and more energetic than us, and your ability is enough to make you the leader of mutants, so why don't you run a school yourself?"

"Did I say I was a mutant?"

"... What?"

Logan was stunned for a moment.

Kevin said in a very light voice:

"I never said I was a mutant. I am different from you. To you, I am just an outsider and do not have the qualifications to be the leader of mutants."

In the final analysis, Kevin is not a mutant at all.

At least he is not a mutant from the X-Men world. He does not have the X gene in his body. Even after his job change, the compound No. 5 in his body no longer exists.

Kevin has become a completely new species different from them, a humanoid marine creature that can live in the deep sea.

He is not qualified to start a school, and he does not want to be the leader of mutants.

And the most important thing is that Kevin himself is not from the X-Men world.

There is no Ancient One in this world to give Kevin a timeout. Once he leaves, he will not know when he will come back next time.

Mutant affairs must be left to mutants to deal with.

Kevin is just an outsider.

"You are not a mutant? But..."

The truth given by Kevin made Logan frown for a long time.

He couldn't figure it out. If Kevin was not a mutant, what else would he be.

Kevin did not continue to explain to Logan. He picked up his phone and called someone. Before the call was connected, he said to Logan:

"Besides, Laura also hopes that you can cheer up."

"?"

The sudden mention of Laura made Logan's already confused mind even more confused.

Kevin did not talk to him anymore because the call was connected. Paul's voice came from the other end of the phone:

"Boss? I have taken those children back. Do I need to send them to you now?"

"No, just let Laura come. You send the others to the previously selected safe area. The rest... someone will help you deal with it."

Kevin arranged it softly.

Logan understood after hearing this: "...You took Laura back?"

"Yes, she is your daughter."

After hanging up the phone, Kevin said to Logan with a smile.
