Chương 581: Magneto's Awakening
The kind-hearted Silver Fox spared William Stryker's life, but she herself succumbed to her injuries, closing her eyes and falling into an eternal sleep.
Logan Howlett watched from outside the light screen, unable to contain his fury. His steel claws shot out as he glared at the screen with bloodshot eyes, desperate for vengeance against Stryker, the man who had destroyed everything he held dear.
Eric took the opportunity to speak. "Logan, I know you've been suppressing your animal instincts, yearning for a peaceful life. But to protect that life, you've had to become a savage. It's painful, isn't it? Remember this pain. You're not wrong for wanting a quiet life and a warm home. Silver Fox wasn't wrong either; she remained kind until the end. It's this world that's wrong!"
Logan raged impotently for a while, eventually retracting his claws. He continued to glare at the screen with bloodshot eyes.
The screen then cut to the young mutants who had escaped the research facility, now lost and unsure of where to go. Suddenly, an elderly bald man with a gentle smile appeared. His voice was magnetic and calming. "Don't worry, I'm Professor X. I'm here to take you with me."
The mutants were saved. Meanwhile, Logan, who had been lying unconscious, opened his eyes, filled with confusion. He survived, but the special bullet from Stryker had caused permanent damage. Logan Howlett lost all his memories!
He didn't even remember his name, only seeing the tag around his neck labeled "Wolverine." At that moment, Gambit arrived. The amnesiac Wolverine was highly sensitive and almost fought Gambit. After a brief struggle, Gambit told him his name was Logan.
Gambit didn't know what had happened to Logan, only urging him to leave the place. The dazed Wolverine followed, stopping by his deceased girlfriend Silver Fox's body. He had forgotten who she was, but felt an inexplicable sadness.
Trying to remember, Wolverine couldn't recall her identity. He finally just closed her eyes, and the video ended.
The audience felt a deep sense of frustration. A hardened hero defeated a cruel villain, only to end up in such a tragic state. Despite his deep love for Silver Fox, he forgot her and their profound love.
Eric glanced at Logan, who was still breathing heavily. "Forgetting the pain and starting over isn't necessarily a bad thing... but I think you won't accept this ending."
Logan turned sharply to Eric, his eyes bloodshot. "I will never forget. I will remember forever!"
Eric shrugged, then spoke earnestly. "Listen, we need to unite. Every mutant must stand together. Otherwise, our future will be like what we saw on the screen, becoming lab rats or killing machines. Logan, your peaceful life won't come easily."
Logan grunted, not responding. Eric wanted to say more, but the screen displayed the next question:
[The following question mode is 'watch first, then answer.' Please watch the video carefully. Questions related to the video will be asked. Answer seriously.]
The text faded, and a new video began, showing a concentration camp with numerous Jewish prisoners facing a hopeless future.
Eric's eyes widened and his breathing quickened. The painful memories in his mind aligned with the scenes on the screen. Indeed, he saw a terrified little boy—himself, Eric Lensherr.
Eric and his parents, being Jewish, were imprisoned in the concentration camp. Despite the dire situation, the family was forcibly separated. Young Eric didn't want to be parted from his parents and accidentally awakened his ability, pulling open the heavy iron gate. But he couldn't overcome the soldiers around him and was knocked out.
All this was observed by a German officer named Sebastian Shaw, who took a keen interest in the boy. For young Eric's family, this was a disaster.
Shaw found young Eric and spoke about DNA and genes, then produced a silver coin, asking Eric to move it with his powers. The young Eric, still too inexperienced, couldn't control his ability and failed to move the coin after numerous attempts.
This displeased Shaw, who decided to teach the child a harsh lesson. He brought Eric's mother and pointed a gun at her, threatening to kill her if Eric couldn't use his powers.
"No, no…"
Outside the screen, Eric couldn't remain calm. His painful memories were forcibly dragged up. His forehead was covered in sweat as he stared at the screen, shaking his head and murmuring.
He hoped the video would stop, but his powers couldn't affect anything here, unlike Wolverine who could at least extend his claws.
Logan noticed Eric's distress and raised an eyebrow. "The little boy in the video is you? Doesn't seem like it."
Eric took a deep breath and closed his eyes. Meanwhile, in the video, young Eric still couldn't use his powers. Suddenly, a gunshot rang out. Shaw, without blinking, pulled the trigger, and the poor Jewish woman fell into a pool of blood.
