It looks like a junkyard, but actually... it's an abandoned junkyard.
Behind the fence made of steel mesh are rusty abandoned cars, which have been covered with a thick layer of yellow sand. Among the abandoned vehicles was a seemingly abandoned house.
Next to the house is a very large water tower.
This water tower is definitely abandoned, because it is rusty and full of rusty holes. And in this abandoned water tower, the painful roar of an old man was constantly echoing.
"That voice... is Charles." Magneto asked Logan, "Is he in there? God, what did you do to him?"
"There is no other way. I am trying to protect other people and him."
Logan stopped the car and turned to Magneto sitting in the back seat with some helplessness: "Let's go see your old friend."
At this time, a man who looked like a mummy ran out of the room and shouted to Logan: "You are late when you come back. He has been screaming for a long time. If he continues like this, I am worried that he will lose control again." .”
"It's okay, Kari version. I'm here with the medicine."
Logan threw a plastic bag casually, and the other party caught it and looked through it a few times: "It's not enough, Logan, these medicines can't even last a week."
"Then we'll figure it out then."
Logan shouted impatiently.
The guy named Cary shook his head. Just as he was about to go back with Logan, he suddenly saw Magneto getting out of the car. He suddenly jumped up like a frightened quail, pointed at Magneto and shouted: "He is Who? He is not an ordinary person, but why didn’t I sense him?"
"Don't be nervous, Kari version, he is one of our own." Logan glanced at Magneto and curled his lips and said, "You didn't sense him, maybe because he is not from this world."
On the way here, Magneto had already told the general story, although Logan didn't believe it at all. But the person who had died long ago appeared in front of him again, and Logan could only be skeptical.
Magneto stepped forward, looked at Kari's exposed eyes, and frowned: "Is he also a mutant?"
"Yes, his ability is to sense the presence of nearby mutants, just like radar." Logan said as he walked towards the room, "But this guy has a skin disease and cannot bask in the sun, so he put himself Wrapped like this.”
Magneto looked at the cowering version of Kari, snorted, and looked up at the water tower not far away: "Is Charles in there?"
Kali version stammered: "Yes."
"What's up with him?"
"You'll know after you see it for yourself." Logan pointed at the card, "Give him the medicine."
Kari version carefully handed the plastic bag to Magneto. Magneto frowned, took the plastic bag containing the medicine, and walked towards the water tower. The closer you are to the water tower, the clearer you can hear the sounds coming from inside.
It was indeed Charles's voice. Although it was much hoarse due to age, Magneto could still recognize the voice of his old friend.
It sounded like he was repeating a children's story, and he was talking incoherently and over and over again, as if he was really mentally disturbed.
Looking at the closed iron door of the water tower, Magneto took a deep breath, reached out and pushed it open and walked in.
In the huge water tower, a light bulb hung high. Under the dim light, you could see a single bed and a very messy table next to the single bed.
Apart from these, there is no furniture.
An electric wheelchair emerged from the shadows and rushed to Magneto. Sitting in a wheelchair was an old man with a haggard face and a dirty vest. He stared at Magneto blankly for a long time before he suddenly shouted: "Gentlemen and ladies, what I just told is the story of Little Red Riding Hood. Next, I am going to tell a story about the beautiful princess..."
"Charles?" Looking at the old man controlling the electric wheelchair and having a great time, Magneto trembled in disbelief, "How did you become like this? I am Eric, do you still remember me? We once fought side by side, and we formed the X-Men together."
"... This beautiful princess is imprisoned in a high tower by her sinister and vicious stepmother. She needs a warrior to rescue her... "
Charles ignored Magneto and was still telling this old-fashioned children's bedtime story loudly with an aria.
"Damn it, Charles, listen to me carefully!"
Magneto stretched out his hand, and the wheelchair flew up out of the air, carrying Charles to fly in front of him. Looking at the confused eyes of his old friend, Magneto felt a pain in his heart. After thinking for a moment, he put down his wheelchair, reached out and took off his helmet, and whispered: "Use your ability to sense my memory, and you will know what I am doing." Everything I’ve been through.”
Charles didn't seem to understand what he said, and looked up at Magneto blankly.
Magneto stretched out his hand, grabbed Charles's hand, pressed it directly between his eyebrows, and shouted: "Quick, have you forgotten who you are? Have you forgotten how powerful you were?"
"Oh my god, Eric, what are you doing?" Logan, who came in from behind, trembled with fright when he saw this scene. He quickly rushed forward, pulled Magneto away, and said angrily, "You're crazy. Oh, you forgot that I told you that he once lost control."
Magneto gritted his teeth and said, "But now is the time when his ability is needed."
"It's no use, Eric, he doesn't understand anything now."
Logan sighed, took out a syringe from the plastic bag that fell on the ground, and injected the medicine in the syringe directly into Charles' neck. Charles immediately trembled all over, like a fish out of water, panting heavily.
After a while, Charles stopped and looked around in confusion. Soon his eyes were locked on Magneto: "Eric? No, how is it possible? You are already dead. You are obviously dead. I can't help but watch." Watching you being buried... Damn it, I'm sick again."
He manipulated the wheelchair clumsily, rushed to the table, hurriedly pulled out a pile of medicines from it, and murmured: "I should take medicine, yes, I remembered, I should have taken medicine a long time ago. "
Logan handed over a glass of water and sighed: "Although I am very pleased to see that you finally took the medicine, I still want to remind you that he is indeed Eric..."
He shrugged: "It's just from another world."
Charles' hands trembled and the water in the cup spilled out. But he still didn't look back at Magneto. He swallowed the medicine in big gulps, and then moved to the bed: "It's time to sleep, it's time to sleep..."
Seeing Charles trying to hold himself up with his arms and moving towards the bed, Magneto closed his eyes weakly, feeling extremely desperate inside. Logan helped Charles get into bed, covered him with a blanket, and then returned to Magneto. Looking at Magneto's ugly expression, he patted his shoulder: "Just get used to it. Come on, let's go out and have a drink."
