The talkative raven in the world of American comics

Chapter 189 A Song of Thunder and Fire (Part Six)

The X-Men who died under the steel claws had no idea that Logan's perspective was a completely different story.

Because on that night, from their perspective, it was Logan who attacked them with his claws flashing like a madman.

Logan shouted, "Run! I'll hold them off!" like a fearless beast, expressing his own determination.

Perhaps at the time, they would have felt angry and confused about Logan's actions.

I don't understand why Wolverine suddenly turned into this grotesque creature.

But after listening to Logan's story...

And the helpless thought that even though he was already dead, he had been dead for so long.

Those emotions have long since faded with the passage of time.

Even if they had some unpleasant feelings, they didn't have much to say after seeing the guy's terrible condition.

"I really don't dare to show my claws anymore," Logan said.

He felt the sympathetic gazes of his former companions, and his inner guilt overflowed.

Tears streamed down Logan's tough-guy face as he continued, "After what I did to you, how could I possibly dare to show my claws again?!"

"So I think that crow's actions were foolish. It tried to use two young people to stir up my dying heart, without ever considering what I had been through..."

""

Logan kept his head down, still not daring to look at the crowd.

"I'm no longer Wolverine, guys, I really am."

I am sorry for my muddled and confused behavior.

'

I'm so sorry.

'

""

A silence fell for a moment, until someone patted him on the shoulder and said softly, "It's okay, Logan, you've done a great job."

Logan heard the familiar voice and knew without a doubt who it was.

He was a professor who died a long time ago.

He died young and did not experience what followed.

If he had been alive that night, perhaps I wouldn't have fallen into the hallucination.

Of course, if he were alive.

Another name has been added to the list of supervillains to be dealt with.

"Don't say that, Charles. My behavior has nothing to do with the word 'good'," Logan replied with a sigh.

Hearing this, Charles smiled simply, "It's already very good. If we let the past catch up with us, it will only make things more painful."

Logan remained silent.

Being with these friends who are like family to me right now means I've already been caught up by the past.

The ten minutes he had estimated in his mind had already passed more than halfway.

I don't know if it's really as Laser Eyes said, that there's no concept of time here, and he can talk for as long as he wants.

"How could Eric be so foolish..." Charles suddenly said with regret.

In addition to telling his own story, Logan also talked to them about the changes in the world.

He noticed that many of his companions showed sadness when they heard that the world had become such a terrible place.

Unfortunately, there was nothing they could do.

So, afterwards...

They silently focused their attention on themselves.

Logan knew what they wanted to say, but they wouldn't say it, especially after he finished telling his story.

This is a form of self-respect for them.

But this respect is like a little bug in the forest, occasionally nibbling at his skin. It's not fatal, but it makes him very uncomfortable.

He couldn't even say anything, nor did he dare to.

"Where is Qianhuan?"

Logan didn't engage in conversation about Charles, but instead looked around and asked the question he'd been wanting to ask.

Since this is the world where the dead reside, then the culprit who witnessed Li Qianhuan's death must be here.

Could it be that...?

"she...

""

Cyclops scratched his cheek, finding it hard to speak.

Logan couldn't bear to see him like this and quickly asked, "What's wrong with her?!"

"You should go see for yourself."

Li Qianhuan sat at a worktable, her delicate face showing signs of exhaustion.

Across from her workbench, there was an extremely long queue. Each person in the queue had a circle floating above their head, and their expressions were somewhat excited.

"Next." Li Qianhuan yawned, while cursing the damned crow in her mind.

I must have been completely out of my mind to believe that crow's lies and do this job for it.

I used to think the old saying, "When fellow villagers meet, they'll cheat you without hesitation," was just an old joke.

But when she sat there every day, facing a long queue that never seemed to end, she realized how badly she had been fooled!

"Is it my turn?"

A girl wearing an angel halo approached Li Qianhuan's desk with a cautious expression on her face.

"Excuse me, is this where the reincarnation process is handled?"

Upon hearing this, Li Qianhuan glanced at the angel halo around the girl's head and said quietly, "Show me your death certificate first."

The girl seemed not to hear her and continued, "Um... I wanted to ask, are there any other living people left here?"

A living person?!

Look at the angel halo around my head, do I look like a living person?!

Li Qianhuan felt a tic-tac-toe symbol pop up on her brow.

She smiled slightly, appearing very patient.

"What kind of birth do you want, darling?"

"I want to be a cat," the girl said.

Li Qianhuan nodded, then tapped her fingers rapidly on the computer screen.

"You've been called; there are at least 468243 people ahead of you in the queue."

The girl immediately flew into a rage: "Do I have to wait in line even if I'm dead?!"

Li Qianhuan had heard similar words too many times, and thought that the dead crow probably couldn't stand this job and went to do something else.

I still hope this dead bird will actually do something decent.

Li Qianhuan explained with a smile, "There's nothing we can do, darling. Everyone wants to be a cat, a dog, or some strange little animal, at least it's not tiring to live."

The girl sighed, as if accepting the situation, and asked, "Is there anything faster?"

"Yes, I will continue to be a human being," Li Qianhuan replied.

She said, "If you were a human, we could arrange your reincarnation right now..."

'

Driven by sales targets and the desire for that dead crow, Li Qianhuan resembled a sales promoter in a shopping mall.

"Please consider it, honey. We have a promotion going on right now to help compensate for the low birth rate."

"There's an event for this?!"

Perhaps it was a conditioned reflex ingrained in her genes, but the girl immediately asked what the activity was like.

"What kind of event is it?"

"Second generation half price".

"What the hell?!"

"The records show that you died at sixty in your previous life, so you can die at thirty in your next life..."

'

Before he could finish speaking, a commotion suddenly erupted from the long queue in front of him, sounding like someone was trying to cause trouble.

"Hey buddy! How dare you cut in line!?"

"My God, Hugh Jackman! Didn't you say you were going to act until you're ninety? How come you died so soon!?"

'

'

As the reincarnation manager, Li Qianhuan would never allow anyone to cause trouble here!

She slammed her hand on the table and shouted, "Quiet down, all of you! Do you even want to be reincarnated?!"

The group fell silent instantly.

At the same time, Li Qianhuan raised her hand to her brow, squinted at the line in front of her, and searched back and forth with her eyes, preparing to find the guy who had caused the panic in the line!

A moment later, her eyes suddenly widened.

"Logan?!"

Logan pushed through the crowd, ignoring their angry words, and went straight to Li Qianhuan.

Before he could even speak, Li Qianhuan spoke up.

"When did you die?!"

Li Qianhuan's face turned bright red, as if she was furious at this fact.

"What the hell is that damn crow doing?! The condition I promised it wasn't that you'd die so soon!!!"

After saying that, she took out a cell phone and rattled off a long complaint to her superiors.

The person on the other end of the phone responded quickly and made a decision just as quickly.

Almost the instant the phone call ended, a gray crow appeared out of thin air and plopped down on the ground.

Its scarlet eyes were still somewhat dazed, and it didn't quite understand what was going on.

next moment.

Li Qianhuan picked up Oz and started whipping him!

"What are you doing?!"

Oz broke free of his grip and roared in fury, "What?! What am I doing?! What did I do?!"

Li Qianhuan pointed at Logan, angrily saying, "Why is he here?! Didn't we agree he would be your contract partner?! You dare to play me?!"

Logan was stunned by the conversation between the man and the bird, clearly not expecting things to develop this way.

He had no idea that Oz, that dead raven, actually knew Li Qianhuan, and judging from their conversation, there seemed to be many things he didn't know!

"!!!"

Oz retorted angrily, "When did I trick you? He's not dead, you know!"

Li Qianhuan angrily retorted, "Then why is he here?!"

"Then go ask him!"

Li Qianhuan glanced at him decisively, her gaze like a knife plunged into Logan's chest.

"5

""

Logan felt a chill run down his spine under that gaze, and subconsciously swallowed. He explained, "I'm not dead, it just brought me here to...to meet you all..."

"You're not lying to me?!"

Do you see circles on my head?

Li Qianhuan stared intently at Logan in front of her for a while, as if judging the truthfulness of his words.

Finally, it was discovered that the guy was indeed not dead, and I immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's good that you're not dead, it's good that you're not dead." She patted her chest and said.

Logan:

I noticed that the gray crows suddenly became stealthy, as if they were planning to flee.

Without saying a word, Li Qianhuan grabbed its rump feathers.

"You stay right here!"

"No! The battle outside has reached its climax! I don't want to miss it!!!"

"If you're not staying here, I wouldn't recommend making another call to God."

"6

'

Oz straightened his feathers, cleared his throat, and plopped down in the spot where Li Qianhuan had just been sitting.

Then, this guy pulled out a black-rimmed pair of glasses from somewhere and clipped it onto his beak, making the whole bird look rather odd.

"Next!"

'

'

Seeing this, Li Qianhuan immediately grabbed Logan's hand and walked away to another place.

"Come on, tell me about your current situation!"

'

'

Logan opened his mouth as if to say something, but ultimately gave up on the idea.

As Li Qianhuan dragged him away, he didn't forget to glance at the gray crow.

He then discovered that Oz was also watching him.

Oz blinked. "We can't delay any longer, there are only five minutes left."

"

'

With Logan and Li Qianhuan gone, Lord Crow resumed its long-awaited work.

"Young lady, what kind of rebirth do you wish to be born into?"

"I want to be a cat."

"Is it okay not to be a cat?"

"Then what?"

"Continue to be human, and Lord Raven can arrange a version update for you."

"What do you mean?"

The girl was stunned, not quite understanding what this talking crow meant.

Lord Crow adjusted his glasses. "The weaknesses you have in this life can be strengthened in your next life."

"Let me see..." Lord Crow glanced at the data on the computer and groaned, "Look at you, working 996 every day your whole life, still unable to pay your mortgage and car loan, you're already at the level of hardship..."

'

The girl raised her hand to stop Oz from speaking. "That's enough, stop talking, I don't want to hear this!"

She asked, "So if I'm reincarnated as a human now, I'll be able to better cope with these things, right?"

The gray crow wearing black-rimmed glasses nodded.

"Alright then." The girl sighed, forced to accept the fact: "So what will I be like in my next life? Will I start from scratch or be reborn as a rich second-generation?"

The crow gave her a suspicious look.

"What are you talking about, sis? We're enhancing your tolerance for poverty!"

"Is this still heaven?!"

Logan followed Li Qianhuan to a vast, fresh lawn.

This place is very similar to the place he and the X-Men had stayed before, with the same azure sky and the same fresh grassland.

"Phew~"

Li Qianhuan loosened her grip on Logan's fingers, raised her hands high, and stretched.

Sometimes, when I'm so busy, I almost forget that I'm already dead...

'

"5

""

Logan's heart clenched when he heard this.

Li Qianhuan realized that her words might have made the old man uncomfortable, so she turned around and smiled, "Logan, don't think about it that way, I really didn't blame you."

"I..

"7

Logan could only nod symbolically, then felt a pang of unease.

The more he saw the other person act as if he didn't care, the more he regretted his past actions.

Seeing his expression, Li Qianhuan helplessly put her hands on her hips and laughed, "Want to know how I met that dead crow?"

"How did you meet?" Logan asked.

Li Qianhuan struck a classic gun pose, pointed it at Logan, and playfully snapped it open. Then she smiled broadly: "Because of you."

"Me?" Logan asked, slightly surprised.

Li Qianhuan shrugged and said, "Back then, this dead bird was begging every day if anyone would be willing to take its place."

"Of course, it's the scene you just saw..."

""

"It said it wanted to save other unfortunate people who were about to suffer, but no one was willing to work for it, which made the guy very distressed."

At this point, the girl scratched her neat short hair and said angrily, "Then this damn bird came to me and said I was suitable for its job."

"I asked why, and it said it was just helping out a fellow villager, and in return, it would choose you as its contract partner."

Li Qianhuan pulled Logan to sit on the grass, and she looked at Logan, who kept his head down and refused to look up.

She said, "Then I thought of you."

"From what I know of you, you'll definitely feel extremely guilty about what happened that night."

""

"How could I not feel guilty, Qianhuan...?"

""

"Shh." The girl put a finger to her lips, interrupting, "Listen to me."

'

Logan did as he was told.

"I know this is a devastating blow to you because you've turned your claws on your loved ones."

The girl said slowly, "I don't know exactly what you'll become, but I can guess roughly."

"So I granted its request and allowed it to choose you as its contractual partner."

"After all, one"

The girl looked at Logan's convulsing body and said softly, "You've had a terrible life, Logan."
