Chapter 211. The Tragic Mutant Prison
At the entrance to the mutant prison, Phil was still wondering whether he should just fight his way in when Ji Yuan simply raised his hand, and the two of them entered the prison as if the guards hadn't even seen them.
Fell gained a deeper understanding of the power of the gods, just as the Bible says, that the gods are omnipotent.
Inside the prison, there was an indescribable smell, a combination of blood and decay, which made people feel extremely uncomfortable.
Moreover, amidst this indescribable stench, there were also painful groans. The mutants here were enduring endless torture and the researchers' almost non-stop experiments.
Even if the president is a professor, the situation of mutants does not improve much and they are still in dire straits.
Fortunately, there were no mutants in Ji Yuan's universe, so there was no great war between humans and mutants.
Upon first glance at the mutant, Phil made a new discovery: behind the mutant was a distorted phantom—a lifeless eyeball and countless tiny tentacles. Anyone with trypophobia would probably be terrified to death upon seeing this.
He pulled out his easel, took out his paintbrush, and began to draw the twisted monster. Soon, a sketch of the monster that would drive anyone who saw it crazy appeared on the easel.
You can vaguely see tentacles writhing on the canvas, as if they were alive.
Fell swallowed hard, his understanding of the monster that polluted the universe had deepened considerably; such a monster was truly terrifying.
Ji Yuan was also observing this mutant. He was quite familiar with this person; he was Phantom Cat from X-Men, except that he only had the upper body.
The information outside the cell tells us that Phantom Cat got stuck in the wall while trying to pass through it, causing part of its intestines to die. It survived after a portion of its body was removed.
"This world is truly hopeless."
Ji Yuan shook his head and walked to the next cell. No matter how much these people were suffering, he could not relieve their suffering.
The situation of mutants is even more tragic than it appears to the outside world. In other universes, mutant genes come from the gods, but in this universe, mutant genes come from the Old Ones.
To put it bluntly, mutants who have awakened bizarre genes can actually be considered cells of the Eye Demon; they are not human inside or out.
In a sense, this war between mutants and humans is actually quite meaningful. Humans are not really fighting against other humans, but against monsters, only these monsters have human appearances and thoughts.
This brings up another point of contention: what determines a person – genes or thoughts? Who can really say for sure?
Ji Yuan couldn't turn the evil god's larva into a human either. If it had happened earlier, it might have been possible, but for those in prison, there was no hope. They could only be truly saved when the universe's timeline was restored.
As Ji Yuan walked forward along the prison, he looked at the pitiful mutants one by one.
There's the Juggernaut, whose strength is so great that he can shatter his own bones with a single punch; there's the Fire Man, who can breathe fire with his bare hands but is not resistant to fire; and there's the Ice Man, who can create ice but is extremely afraid of the cold. The mutant abilities here are basically all self-destructive.
Ji Yuan also met Cyclops, but it was a one-time thing, because his first laser shot blew up his eye, leaving him blind and without his superpowers.
"This is terrible, this eye demon is truly evil."
Ji Yuan shook his head and saw an introduction to a mutant that he once thought was ridiculous. That mutant was jokingly referred to as having super confidence as his mutant ability, and the side effect of being covered in thorns.
That is, the Confident Man from X-Men, or you can call him Hedgehog Man, Porcupine Man, whatever you want to call him.
However, Confidence Man was not in the cell. According to information outside the cell, after undergoing the experiment, Confidence Man encountered an accident when using his superpowers. The spikes did not grow outwards but inwards. The result was obvious: he was impaled by his own spikes and died a very hasty death.
Then, in the penultimate cell, he saw a familiar face—Pietro.
This universe has mutants, and naturally there are Wanda and Pietro. Wanda is a traitor to the mutants, betraying them, while Pietro is imprisoned here as Quicksilver.
However, he probably can't run anymore because his limbs were severed at the root, as he was hacked after escaping from prison and being caught.
It's strange that he couldn't escape, right? The reason is simple: this Quicksilver is not only slower than the Quicksilver in the normal universe, but he also consumes a lot of physical strength. His top speed is about five kilometers per hour, and his body can't handle any more.
Looking at that familiar face, Ji Yuan quietly gave him a little light to make him feel a little better.
Ji Yuan then walked toward the last cell, where a very familiar and popular mutant—Wolverine—was imprisoned.
Its body was as withered as a bamboo pole, its clothes were so tattered that they could only cover its chest, its face was covered with wrinkles like the bark of an old tree, and its hands did not have the iconic Emmanuel alloy wolf claws, but rather bone fragments that pierced the skin. This was an old wolf that was also seriously ill.
Just then, Phil came over and introduced him: "This is Logan Howlett, a mutant with bone cancer. He was arrested here for stealing alcohol. Nobody knows why he can live for over a hundred years despite having bone cancer. Even scientists haven't found the reason."
"Bone cancer?"
Upon hearing these two words, Ji Yuan's eyes lit up instantly. In the universe, no matter how advanced the technology, it cannot cure cancer. It can only be cured through magical means. The reason is that cancer is governed by a god, which is an evil god in the cancer universe.
The fact that Wolverine has had cancer for over a hundred years and is still alive, and that there is nothing unusual about his expressed genes, already speaks volumes. He is very likely connected to some kind of evil god in the cancerous universe.
Ji Yuan left a coordinate and a protective light on Wolverine, who might be a potential entry point.
After looking at all the mutants, Ji Yuan found that there was a clear connection between Wolverine and the mutants.
He went to the room where Miss Minute was kept. The room only contained Miss Minute and the time controller. Clearly, the person who put him here knew something, but unfortunately, that person was already dead.
Ji Yuan can see the faint connections between objects; Miss Minute's connections in this universe are all in the tomb.
Just as he was observing, Miss Minute suddenly stood up, her smiling face directly facing Ji Yuan's position.
"We've been discovered? No, wait."
Miss Minute wasn't looking at Ji Yuan, but rather at that void, from which a purple light emerged.
