"Doctor, the test results for experimental subject 757 are in."
"What level?"
"Level two."
"Level two, meaning even if the abilities are fully developed, it can only achieve shallow reading of the mind and control of a magnetic force not exceeding fifty kilograms?"
"Yes, doctor, according to our current research data on mutants, it is like this."
"It seems that it is indeed impossible to fuse Professor X's and Magneto's genes to create the strongest artificial mutant."
"Let's end this experiment here. From now on, we should focus all our research on X-24; he is our strongest weapon!"
"Should experimental subject 757 be treated in the same way as previous experimental subjects?"
"Keep it, keep it with the children for training. At least it's a fusion of Professor X and Magneto's genes. Even at level two, with proper development, it could be useful."
"Yes, doctor!"
...
"757, strike decisively and with force, target my weak points, do not hesitate, you worthless piece of trash!"
On the training ground, a muscular man wielding a knife launches a fierce attack at a youth of about seventeen or eighteen years old.
The youth, while using his ability to control the knife and defend himself, is trying to find an opportunity to counterattack with his fists. However, it's clear that he's not yet skilled enough to make good judgments.
"Even with the ability to manipulate magnetic force, my control over it pales in comparison to Magneto's."
The youth is named George and is a time traveler who found himself transported into the body of a genetically modified experimental subject known as Subject 757 three months ago.
His mutant ability is mind reading and magnetic force control.
Unfortunately, his mind-reading ability requires the target to be completely unprepared and has a success rate. It can only read the current mental state and not access deep-seated memories.
And his control over the magnetic force is even worse.
Currently, he can only control objects weighing less than ten pounds. Although it's not bad if used well, it's still far from the level of Magneto, who can easily lift an entire stadium into the air.
It's fine for dealing with ordinary people, but when faced with abilities like Stone Man, Steel Serf, and White Queen who excel in defense, he can't break through their defenses.
His current goal is to find a way to escape from this cruel laboratory.
"Ring ring ring..."
A piercing bell rings, and a staff member in a white lab coat enters, halting the training and attaching a high-tech device to his neck:
"Subject 757, it's time for your dinner!"
"Yes."
George responded with a somewhat stiff voice and then very obediently followed the staff member out of the room.
The device around his neck is called a "mutant inhibitor." Once it's worn, his abilities will completely disappear, turning him into an ordinary person.
Normalcy requires him to wear the inhibitor at all times, except during training and battle.
Walking through the long corridor, besides him, many mutants were brought out from various training grounds by the staff members.
However, they were younger, looking only about twelve or thirteen years old.
"The Marvel universe, it's truly a dangerous world."
Seeing this scene, George couldn't help but sigh.
From the moment he knew he was a mutant, he knew he had arrived in the Marvel universe.
He had some understanding of Marvel, considering he occasionally watched movies as well, even though he wasn't a hardcore Marvel fan.
As far as he knew, there were many universes in the Marvel world, and the stories in different universes were also different. But one thing was certain: not many universes were peaceful.
Events like Thanos wiping out half the universe aren't too terrifying, and some universes have been completely erased without a problem.
But since he had come through, he could only try to survive.
Who would want to die when they can live? He was someone who loved life very much, and if possible, he would very much like to be immortal.
Some people say immortality is a curse, as watching one's loved ones die one by one can be very painful.
But he thought that the small price for immortality was not worth considering compared to its benefits.
As a Chinese person, deep down, who wouldn't want to become immortal and practice immortality? Even the ancient Qin Shi Huang, after unifying the six states, sent his subordinates to search for the elixir of immortality.
Based on his observation for a month, he has roughly determined that the Marvel world he's in may have many connections with the world of Logan 3.
Because he saw that small werewolf girl, X-23, among the children, who has the same self-healing ability and Adamantium alloy claws as Wolverine.
What struck him as strange, though, was that the current year was not 2029 as in the movie, but 2009.
And from the office gossip of those staff members, he could also learn that this universe had Tony Stark the playboy and Captain America as well.
If following the timeline of Logan 3, X-23 was not born yet in 2009. However, the little girl with determined eyes in front of him seemed to be around twelve or thirteen years old already.
So this isn't the mutant universe, nor is it the Marvel movie universe; it's a Marvel universe he didn't know about.
"Time not matching matters little, as long as the things that should happen do."
Whether it's 2029 or 2009 is of little importance to him, he only hopes that the group of mutant kids can successfully escape from this laboratory as planned, so that he can also have a chance to follow and escape from this laboratory.
According to the plot of Logan 3, it shouldn't be long before a kind-hearted nurse will help these mutant children escape from the laboratory.
Because he needed to maintain a quiet and obedient persona that could be easily controlled, George ate his dinner in silence and returned to his room, closing his eyes to go to sleep as usual.
The entire laboratory was filled with surveillance, and he had to hide any emotions to prevent others from noticing anything out of the ordinary. This would help lower the staff's suspicion of him.
Even to further lower the staff's suspicions, he deliberately hid some of his abilities during training, such as the speed at which he controlled the knife and some thoughts about his own powers.
Of course, he couldn't appear too weak, otherwise he might be treated as garbage.
"What's happening? It hurts so much!"
In his drowsiness, George suddenly felt a pain that seemed to tear his soul apart, but this pain came and went quickly, without torturing him for long.
After the pain subsided, he found that he seemed to have entered into a very strange state.
He opened his eyes abruptly, and two completely different perspectives appeared before him.
One was the visual of his normal laboratory bedroom that he could see, and the other was in a very dilapidated cubicle.
At the same time, he felt that he suddenly had another body, and that body was also able to control itself like his current body.
How to describe it?
It's like he suddenly gained an extra, controllable doppelganger.
The main body closed his eyes and lay back on the bed, focusing his mental energy mainly on the clone.
Suddenly, segmented memories flashed through his mind like a movie, and after these memories faded away, he couldn't help but mutter:
"This... it's actually the wizarding world of Harry Potter!"
In his memories, this ten-year-old child named Dorath was an orphan in an orphanage. Later, because of the unique magical abilities inherited from the wizard blood, he was adopted by a witch living in a back alley.
However, this witch was no good, but a hidden dark wizard.
The purpose of the witch adopting Dorath was merely to conduct experiments in black magic and potions, as well as to have an extra free laborer.
After all, if experiments on Muggles would easily draw attention from the Ministry of Magic, it's different with his adopted son.
As long as he kept it a secret, who could discover it? Even if he died by accident one day, it could be said that he had died by accident.
Moreover, many forms of black magic and potions have different effects on Muggles and wizards, so using wizards for experiments could better test the effects.
In this way, poor Dorath slowly grew up under the torture of the dark wizard.
The constant torture made Dorath's personality very weak, he dare not resist the dark wizard, nor dare to tell others about his situation, and he lived a miserable life every day that was even worse than that of a house-elf.
Dorath had originally hoped that the Hogwarts admission for eleven-year-olds would help him escape the grasp of the dark wizard.
Unfortunately, he did receive an acceptance letter, but the dark wizard had no intention of letting him attend Hogwarts.
For a young wizard born to a Muggle family, once he reaches the age of eleven, regardless of his parents' agreement or not, he is definitely going to be accepted by Hogwarts.
Because if a young wizard does not study magic, fails to channel his magical power, and develops fear and aversion to his unknown abilities, under extreme emotions, he might turn into a Squib. This is something absolutely unacceptable in the magical community.
However, for the children of wizards, there are no such requirements.
Wizards not only have the choice of Hogwarts, but also other magical schools such as Beauxbatons, Durmstrang, and Ilvermorny.
Even if it's more economical, they can send their children to a magical training class, or the wizards themselves can teach their children magic.
From the dark wizard's mouth, he learned that he could not go to Hogwarts to study, and Dorath completely collapsed at night in his own cubicle, drinking potion to commit suicide.
For some reason, George's divided soul took control of Dorath's body at this moment and became the new owner of this body.
"That really is too terrible."
After watching Dorath's memories, George couldn't help but sigh deeply.
"Come here!"
He didn't know if it was a side effect of the potion Dorath had drunk to commit suicide, but George felt extremely thirsty now, and he unconsciously used his ability on the iron cup on the table.
And the cup flew quickly into his hand.
George drank the water in the cup quickly and suddenly stopped.
"My ability... it seems I can also use it with this body!"
Yes, he had just used the power of a mutant to control magnetism, but it wasn't his own body that was using it; it was this world's clone using the power.
"Could it be that the talents and abilities of two worlds can be shared?"
At this moment, George had a bold guess in his mind.
Returning his attention to his own body, he indeed noticed that there were some new things in the Marvel body.
Using the wizarding knowledge from Dorath's memories, that would be the unique magical power found in wizard blood.
"If that's the case, then that would be wonderful!"
At this moment, a series of plans were unfolding in George's mind.
