He had been looking forward to being freed from all shackles, looking forward to being reborn in the mud and darkness.But when this moment really comes, the first thing I feel is not the heartfelt relaxation and joy, but the bewilderment.

The extremely compressed airflow turned into an invisible sharp blade, which burst in mid-air instantly.The blood spattering around him also turned into a murder weapon in the incomparable assimilation of consciousness, which in turn pierced Yi Laizhe's chest.

In the same place, in the same way. 20 years ago, West ended Adelaide's short life, and 20 years later, he finally marked the end of this fate.

His eyes were as red as blood.Due to the forcible stimulation of the brain, causing the ability to artificially run wild, even the inhibitor diluted in the blood can no longer play its due role at that moment.And perhaps, it was precisely because the pain that this kind of outbreak required was too great, when the old enemy fell, West just stood there, as if unable to react, seeing nothing in his eyes.

In this regard, Charles, who has been watching him, understands it very well.

After all, this hatred has lasted for too long, so long that all the blood and tears have soaked into the bone marrow, so long that West has almost let himself live for it.Until everything finally came to an end, mixed with sorrow and joy.When you look around, what you see now is the long and gloomy road that you have walked.

It was as if the torrential rain fell from the sky, wetting his straight brows, and instantly peeled off the cage he had poured for himself.All the things in the past come from the heart, and come to the fore little by little.West stood in front of his old enemy's gradually icy body, watched quietly, thought quietly, and recalled quietly, and then converged into a pendulum of fate, finally piercing through all the shackles of shackles.

At that moment, as if a levee had burst, unspeakable emotions mixed with the overwhelming exhaustion came roaring in all of a sudden.

He grasped the clothes on his chest weakly, cold sweat dripped down, and scratched across the transparent marks.West found that he still seemed to overestimate his limits.This kind of stress reaction is exactly the same as before. He thought he could persist until the end, but now it seems that he can only go so far.

The emotional turmoil couldn't help him.The sudden relaxation of the body brought only uncontrollable fatigue and weakness. Professor X can only support his adopted son so far.What's worse than expected is that without the support of superpowers, let alone escape from the base, Mr. Hermit doesn't even have the strength to stand up.

The forcibly accelerated metabolism weakens the effect of the inhibitor, but also causes more damage to the cell.West only felt as if a lead weight had been suddenly dropped on his body, and it was so heavy for an instant that he couldn't even lift his arms, so he had no choice but to fall to the ground.

At the same time, the collapse that almost destroyed the entire base finally spread to this test site buried deep at the bottom of the Alps.Fragments of the ceiling continued to fall around West, and huge cracks began to appear in the impenetrable walls around.It seemed that in the blink of an eye, what he saw was already turned upside down.

Force yourself to wake up from the overwhelming drowsiness.West lay on the ground in embarrassment and raised his head, but tried his best to raise his head, looking at the heavy iron door that had been reopened because of Yi Laizhe's death.

That is the only exit he can escape now.

Even if the possibility of successfully returning to the ground is infinitely close to zero, as long as he has not lost consciousness, he is unwilling to give up just like that.

Wester Xavier clearly had a reason to live. The nightmare of 20 years is finally about to wake up, and the dawn cannot be seen, how can he die with regret at this time.

Gritting his teeth, he stood up with difficulty relying on the strength of his elbows.He squeezed his broken wrist and staggered forward against the wall.The bone-deep wound on the left leg was bleeding continuously, leaving a bright mark on the trajectory of the boy, and gravel mixed with steel bars kept falling from the ceiling.But at this moment, no matter what, he can't distract even a little bit of attention.

It's just that Lady Luck doesn't seem to be optimistic about West's struggle.When he was only a few feet away from the exit, accompanied by a burst of earth-shaking collapse, the bearing point supporting the test site finally collapsed, carrying reinforced concrete weighing more than a thousand tons, and finally completely collapsed the ground buildings, all of which covered his head and face Press towards the hermit!

He was hit in the back by a partition board, and this time he had no strength to get up again.Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Yi Laizhe's corpse that had been submerged in dust not far away. West had no choice but to reflexively close his eyes, unwilling to wait for the call of death.

however.

"Don't be afraid."

There seemed to be a breeze blowing by his cheeks, and in the extreme despair, the boy felt that he had fallen into an embrace that was so warm that it could make people cry.At the same time, a series of beautiful and mysterious spells overflowed from the man's lips and flowed around.For a moment, as if passing through the hand of God, time stood still, and even the flying dust in mid-air stopped in place, solidifying into silent statues in the years.

"Don't be afraid, Serena."

Hold his West tightly in his arms.The mage buried his head in his neck, surrounded by the man's familiar aura mixed with the smell of rust, feeling the beating of life under the blood vessels, his voice was very soft.

Merlin.

When I felt the familiar temperature behind me, it was like being immersed in warm water, and the tight string in my mind suddenly relaxed.Maybe he didn't think that Merlin would come back here, but as long as the mage was by his side, West knew that he would never have to worry about it again.

——He just has such ability.Without using magic, I am willing to give my all.

He will always find him.

"Merlin..."

The exhaustion of blood loss finally pushed him into the darkness.The moment he closed his eyes, West muttered to himself.He knew that a pair of clean and clear light gray pupils would always fall on him, which contained the gentlest and most powerful magic of Emerys, even if he was deeply imprisoned, it could still give him the warmth he longed for.Across mountains and rivers, out of the barren wilderness, to find the answer to the greatest mystery in this life.

He fell asleep in the boundless darkness.But even so, there was still a figure lingering in his consciousness.The man seemed to smile many times and seemed to talk a lot.From the past to the future, he never falls behind, so that even in the sinking, there is a beautiful smile on the corner of his mouth.

……

When I woke up, the morning light was twilight, and the sky was just breaking.

As if floating up from the suffocating deep sea, West slowly opened his eyes, looking at the familiar lines on the ceiling above his head, his eyes blurred for a moment, and then became clearer than ever before.

This is his home, no doubt about it.It wasn't the empty house far away in Oxford that had almost nothing, but the room in Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters that really belonged only to him.

After lying down for a while, I made sure that there was nothing missing in my body.The hermit tried to get up slowly, but he didn't feel the weakness or pain that he might have imagined, and he was even more energetic than he had ever been before.And those originally hideous wounds are almost healed, so it can be imagined that a long time may have passed since the last battle that sank in the Alps.

Long, long ago, he also woke up from the darkness like this.But it is not the end of pain and scars, but the beginning of another long and desperate redemption.

But now, it's all over.

The warm sunlight in late summer pours in through the gaps in the curtains, leaving circles of mottled halo silhouettes on the floor.The noise coming from nowhere was mixed with the bright sunshine. West got out of bed curiously, came to the window, and looked at the group of children chasing each other on the grass not far away.

Perhaps it was the rare good weather that made everyone in the mutant school happy to come out to bask in the sun.Storm and Qin, Wolverine and Cyclops, and even Hank, who has been in the underground laboratory all year round and no one can drag him out, even came out to let himself go, squatting aside and whispering to Ruiwen.Farther away, Professor X under the shade of the tree did not participate in the students' play, but turned his head to look at Magneto, who was standing quietly beside him, with a smile on his brow.

If it was a few months ago, this is a scene that West could not have dreamed of, but now it has come true.The corner of the mouth opened a small but brilliant arc, the young man leaned over and propped his chin on the window sill, his beautiful pupils reflecting the sun were like a blue sea, his eyes were gentle and focused, and finally fixed on the thin man surrounded by children on the figure.

It seems to have a feeling.On the grass, Merlin, who was being pestered by the little ones to show his magic, suddenly raised his head and looked at the very familiar room on the second floor of the castle, and happened to meet a pair of clean and clear eyes.

The mage froze in place for a moment, not even noticing when the magic in his hand dissipated.Immediately, he blinked in disbelief, turned around lightly, and disappeared in place amidst the children's exclamations.

"what happened?!"

Startled by Merlin's sudden movement, Scott jumped up from the ground in a jerk, and was about to press his glasses on the conditioned reflex, but was slapped down by Wolverine next to him.

"Look over there."

Qin and Charles, who have psychic abilities, were stunned, and at the same time they laughed meaningfully.Cyclops and the equally bewildered Storm Magneto looked towards the second floor at Logan's signal, but only had time to see West's surprised side face at the window. In just a short moment, they disappeared suddenly as if being dragged by something. In the eyes of everyone.

... Hey, this is a lot of information, and the baby was stuffed with dog food for no reason.

"It's so convenient to have magic."

Silently sighed with emotion.Storm lightly glanced at Scott, who had a face of "Fuck, I'm so blind", and was a little distressed whether she should run over and hug the hermit who finally woke up, or Stop the group of little ones who are cheering and rushing upstairs, and buy them more time alone?

"Does this matter still need to be considered?"

Eyelids twitched, and he made up his mind to stay where he was.Having experienced countless storms, Logan raised his wrist to look at the time, with a smile on his face, and did not notice Magneto's straight gaze behind him like a searchlight:

"That black-haired kid doesn't look easy to mess with. Although West should be pretty imbecile now, I wouldn't be surprised if they kept messing around until dinner."

"..."

If it wasn't for Professor X's pull, Eric still couldn't accept that his son ran away with someone. Mr. Lanshere, he was sure that he would have destroyed the entire Xavier Manor by now.

The author has something to say: because the author has been reviewing for the postgraduate entrance examination in the past few months, it has been interrupted for a long time, and there is no small partner in 23333.But this thoughtless article is coming to an end soon, and I’m so happy that the baby can open a new pit again~(≧▽≦)/~
