Reborn with Steve Stand-Chapter 697: The Timeline of Uncle Wolf

"The food here is quite good."

Logan tilted his head back and took a big gulp of whiskey, immediately grabbing a piece of steak and stuffing it into his mouth. While chewing, he poured himself another drink and said, "But it definitely can't compare to your meals. Let's just make do."

"Actually, I'm quite indifferent about food."

Fang Mo smiled, also grabbing a piece of meat and eating it. "After all, compared to the sophistication of three meals a day, I prefer the rarity of this one."

"Have humans evolved over countless ages just to use vocabulary like this?"

Logan glanced at Fang Mo. "Decades have passed, and your nasty personality hasn't changed one bit... So, what have you been doing all these years? Have you been thinking about how to torture others?"

"I came up with all these myself." Fang Mo revealed a pleased smile. "Inflicting pain with my voice, I call it 'the punishment of sound.'"

"Satan asked me to tell you that he's actually your number one fan."

Logan couldn't help but say.

"I told you, I'm not a demon..."

"Is that so?"

Logan took a sip of his drink noncommittally and calmly said, "Do you know what Darwin told us after you destroyed Stryker's base?"

"Hmm?"

Hearing Logan's words, Fang Mo became curious.

He then magically produced two plates of cold dishes from his body, classic bar snacks, cucumber salad, and fried peanuts. "Come on, tell me more."

"Darwin said..."

Logan awkwardly picked up chopsticks, trying to get some cucumber salad, but he clearly didn't know how to use them. So he threw the chopsticks aside and grabbed a couple of peanuts with his hand, tossing them into his mouth. "He said that when he saw you destroy the entire industrial area with that meteorite, three numbers instantly popped into his head: 666."

"Oh, that's quite normal."

Fang Mo smiled proudly. "I'm so awesome, it's only natural to get a '666' reaction. You might not believe it... In my dimension, there's even a white-haired girl whose job is to shout '6' for me."

"See, you're admitting it yourself."

Logan gave Fang Mo a look, his gaze carrying a hint of teasing.

"Admit? Admit what?" Fang Mo was momentarily stunned by Logan's words but quickly realized and explained, "Uh... no, no, no, you've misunderstood."

"Misunderstood what?"

Logan felt a bit strange.

"Well..."

Fang Mo pondered how to explain.

Indeed, they had misunderstood. Through his previous conversation with Charles, Fang Mo knew that Omega-level mutants might be able to perceive his memetic contamination. Darwin's survival instinct was likely influenced, causing him to subconsciously connect the dots.

Even though he didn't know the meaning himself.

And this '666' was probably due to his survival ability.

The problem was that the X-Men were mostly Westerners, and '666' seemed to correspond to the demon in the Bible, a very evil number.

"Emmm..."

Fang Mo touched his chin, realizing he had encountered a cultural difference.

Just then, there was a light sound of footsteps, followed by the door creaking open. Fang Mo turned to see his little partner coming out. She seemed to have not slept well last night, her hair a bit messy with two stray strands sticking up.

"Assuming 666 represents the devil..."

Xiao Yao yawned lazily as she walked out. "Then 25.8069758 would be the root of all evil?"

"..."

This unexpected remark left both Fang Mo and Logan in silence.

"Alright, I think I get it now."

After quite a while, Logan was the first to react: "Looks like there's no need to call the FBI. She really is one of your kind..."

"Ahem, you're awake?"

Hearing this, Fang Mo also coughed awkwardly and then greeted Xiao Yao.

"I heard you two talking and came out to take a look," Xiao Yao nodded and then walked over to the dining table, sitting beside Fang Mo. "If it were someone else, I would have gone back to sleep... but if it's Uncle Wolf, I can take another look."

"Why does her tone sound exactly like yours..."

Hearing Xiao Yao's remark, Logan couldn't help but turn to Fang Mo: "This feeling like she knows everything about others... don't tell me she can predict the future too."

"Her predictive ability is much better than mine."

Fang Mo nodded straightforwardly: "I can at most see the Old Man Logan storyline, but she's different... She can even see you being tortured by Wade, eventually being dragged away by the Time Variance Authority to fight something called the Council of Kangs."

"What?"

Hearing something related to him, Logan became concerned: "Isn't Wade dead? And what's the Time Variance Authority and the Council?"

"Well..."

Fang Mo pondered for a moment.

Yes, this plot was something Xiao Yao had just explained to him last night.

As mentioned before, he had died quite early due to a truck accident, but Xiao Yao had survived on Earth for a much longer time and was more familiar with the subsequent plots of some shows and movies.

One thing that particularly caught Fang Mo's attention was the major events in the Marvel universe.

Back in the early days, Robert Downey Jr.'s line "I am Iron Man" practically initiated the golden age of Marvel movies, and Thanos lived up to expectations, becoming one of the most successfully portrayed villains in history.

Unfortunately, after that, the original Avengers almost all retired. There was no one left to take the lead, and the movies they made afterward were terrible, like Doctor Strange 2, Captain Marvel 2, and a bunch of spinoff series. Saying they were garbage would be a compliment.

Fortunately, the higher-ups at Marvel finally realized this issue.

So, they tried hard to turn the tide by releasing shows like Loki and Guardians of the Galaxy 3. In the end, they had to resort to their ultimate weapon.

After seeing how well the three Spider-Men were received, Marvel realized that playing the nostalgia card really worked.

After a series of maneuvers, good news came about Deadpool 3: Ryan Reynolds had managed to get Hugh Jackman to join him in Deadpool 3 after much persuasion.

Fang Mo still remembered the plots of Deadpool 1 and 2 quite well. It was about Wade becoming Deadpool and encountering a bunch of crazy stuff, even meeting Cable. In the final post-credits scene, he even got hold of a time-travel device and caused havoc across the multiverse.

He even stole baby Hitler from his crib...

When it comes to causing trouble, he's just as good as Fang Mo. But according to Xiao Yao's predictions and spoilers, Deadpool got caught by the Time Variance Authority for digging up Old Man Logan's grave.

Due to the threat of the new Marvel phase villain, Kang the Conqueror, the Time Variance Authority couldn't sit still and started recruiting heroes from the multiverse to fight this villain. So Deadpool and Logan were naturally recruited as heroes.

In addition, according to the official spoilers, even Robert Downey Jr. announced his return to film another movie.

It shows how desperate Marvel was, willing to spend big money to play the nostalgia card, but this time, they really hit the mark.

Even Fang Mo felt a strong desire to watch when he heard that Deadpool, Wolverine, and Iron Man would appear on the same screen. Despite the complaints, he really wanted to see these characters together.

Forget fighting Kang the Conqueror, even fighting himself would be fine!

Unfortunately, Xiao Yao got dragged into this world by him and didn't get to see the movie... which also meant Fang Mo missed it, which was quite a pity.

But with Fang Mo's current abilities, making the movie himself wouldn't be that different, right?

In summary, according to Xiao Yao's explanation, Deadpool 3 is likely Marvel's prelude to connecting the Avengers with the Council of Kangs, so Fang Mo's statement that Logan would be tortured by Wade makes perfect sense.

It's just a matter of when he will actually see this happen.

After all, he hasn't even been to the new X-Men timeline, let alone the Time Variance Authority... Since coming to Marvel, Fang Mo has been causing chaos, yet there hasn't been any response from them, which is quite puzzling.

"Anyway..."

After some thought, Fang Mo spread his hands towards Logan: "You'll understand in the future."

"How long is this 'future' you speak of?"

Logan asked.

"Probably when the grass on your grave grows this high." Fang Mo glanced around, then used his hand to indicate the height beside Xiao Yao.

"Are you looking for death? Are you crazy!"

Xiao Yao saw this and unceremoniously punched Fang Mo.

"The grass on the grave is still okay." Logan couldn't help but retort after hearing this, but then he asked, "But speaking of this... will I die?"

"You were supposed to die, but now the butterfly effect is too strong, so I'm not sure."

Fang Mo shrugged.

"I see."

Logan surprisingly did not get angry or frown. He calmly picked up his glass and took a sip, "This... is fine too."

He was quite indifferent to it. After all, eternal life can be seen as either a blessing or a curse. For Logan, living long wasn't painful. What really pained him was seeing everyone around him leave, a fact he could not accept.

"By the way, Fang Mo."

Logan seemed to remember something and looked up, "Next time you come, try to be earlier. At least... don't wait decades to visit again."

"Hmm?"

Fang Mo looked at Logan curiously, "Why say this all of a sudden?"

"I can wait."

Logan took out a cigarette from somewhere and skillfully lit it, "But Charles and the others can't wait any longer."

"Oh, that..."

Hearing this, Fang Mo nodded subconsciously. He recalled the fate of the old Charles... which seemed quite pitiful.

He was disintegrated into dust by the Dark Phoenix in "The Last Stand," hunted by Sentinels in "Days of Future Past," had his head twisted off in "Doctor Strange 2," suffered from dementia in "Logan," and was finally killed by a clone of Wolverine... What's worse, even in his final moments, he was having a casual chat before being stabbed. That's really brutal. fгeewebnovёl.com

And not just in the movies, even the actor Patrick Stewart has visibly aged over the years. It's unclear how many more films he can make.

This sense of twilight years does leave a bittersweet feeling.

"Alright then."

Fang Mo thoughtfully stroked his chin, "Next time, I'll try to come earlier. If I can't make it in time... I'll personally initiate the Sentinel program to reboot the timeline."

"Just come earlier, don't mess things up."

Logan's face darkened.

"Haha, alright, alright." Fang Mo laughed and raised his glass, "To my eternal Wolverine."

"..."

Logan wordlessly raised his glass but still clinked it with Fang Mo's.

After downing his drink, Logan put down his glass and suddenly asked, "This time, you're not planning to ask me?"

"Ask what?"

Fang Mo was taken aback.

"What did you ask me before you left last time?" Logan reminded.

"Oh, that."

Hearing Logan's words, Fang Mo remembered that he had invited Logan to another world. Smiling, he said, "There's no point in asking. You won't leave this world before sending them off... right?"

Logan said nothing, implicitly agreeing with Fang Mo.

"Anyway, I will miss you too."

After a long silence, Logan spoke again, "But as an old friend, if you could get rid of that talking annoying cigar... our relationship might be a bit better."

"What if I refuse?"

"I'll hang your photo on the wall for the kids to admire."

Logan said, "You should know, your portrait is much better than you. It doesn't talk trash and only needs a nail to hang."

"... It has to be you."

Fang Mo wiped his face upon hearing this.
