"Prepare for landing. 3, 2, boom!" The ship rocked once before suddenly dropping into the water.
"Sorry." Cyclops spoke with some embarrassment.
"This technology is absolute garbage." Logan gave Cyclops a disdainful glance, undid his seat belt, and turned toward the hatch. Everyone waded across the water, successfully reaching Liberty Island and entering the Statue of Liberty.
The base of the Statue of Liberty was actually a museum. It was extremely spacious inside, and there was even an elevator leading to the top.
"I've wanted to visit this Statue of Liberty Museum for a long time. Too bad the tickets were always so expensive. I finally have the chance now." Lu Yifang walked ahead, enthusiastically looking around the museum. As for the chance to visit a museum for free, there was no way he would pass it up. If something was free, it would be a waste not to take advantage of it.
"Yifang, pay attention." Seeing Lu Yifang wandering around like a tourist who had just come in, Storm reminded him.
"I've always been very attentive." Lu Yifang turned around and smiled at everyone. Though he looked incredibly carefree, his reflexes had been active the entire time. If someone suddenly jumped out and swept him with a Gatling Gun, that person would definitely end up being shredded by their own bullets.
"That might not be true. I smell an enemy." Logan had already extended his claws. He walked in front of Lu Yifang and began searching earnestly by scent.
"You can actually smell scents? You've got a dog's nose!" Lu Yifang said, somewhat surprised.
"Correction. It's a wolf's!" Logan suddenly raised his claws and thrust them backward at Lu Yifang.
"Logan, what are you doing?" Storm could not help screaming when she saw this. Everyone else was completely stunned as well. Before the utterly bewildered Lu Yifang could react, Logan's claws had already pierced his shoulder.
The clothing touched by Wolverine's claws sank in slightly, and then... nothing happened. Logan's strength traveled through Lu Yifang's clothes and reached his skin, only to be reflected back along the same path.
Wolverine's claws were extremely sharp, but no matter how sharp a weapon was, it could not even break the skin without force behind it. In fact, if Logan had used a little more strength, he might have been sent flying by his own power.
"Uncle Wolf, I admit I misspoke just now, but you didn't have to respond so enthusiastically." Lu Yifang raised his brows. This was going too far. Fortunately, it was Lu Yifang; if it had been someone else, they would already have been lying on the floor, bleeding out and unable to fight.
"Logan." Storm grabbed Wolverine's hand, her face already full of anger.
"I didn't do it on purpose. I just..." Logan seemed to have come back to his senses, looking utterly confused.
Cyclops's expression also turned serious. "Logan, what exactly were you just—damn it, go to hell!"
Cyclops had seemed about to ask a question, but his expression suddenly changed. In anger, he activated the scanner-like glasses and released his ability.
A red laser shockwave shot out, enveloping Storm and Logan.
"Damn it!" Lu Yifang's expression changed when he saw this. He strode forward and moved in front of Storm. Since the laser shockwave was energy, Lu Yifang could manipulate its vector and reflect it back.
But he did not dare use that ability casually. If the laser he reflected collided with the shockwave Cyclops was firing, it could very likely cause an explosion. And if Cyclops stopped firing halfway through, the reflected shockwave might even kill him.
"Get out of the way." With no other choice, Lu Yifang extended his hand and swung it forcefully.
The instant the laser touched Lu Yifang's hand, the direction of all that energy changed. Like a stream of water shooting toward him, the red shockwave was swept away by Lu Yifang's swing and sent flying in every direction throughout the museum.
"Scott!" Jean acted decisively at that instant, tackling Cyclops to the floor. Cyclops's shockwave finally stopped.
"Are you all right?" Lu Yifang finally breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at the stunned Storm.
"I'm fine."
"I'm not!" While Storm was speaking, Logan, who was lying on the floor, had already shouted. One of the shockwaves Lu Yifang had deflected had struck Logan directly, opening a small hole in his abdomen.
"Sorry, Uncle Wolf. I didn't notice in the heat of the moment. I wasn't trying to get revenge by firing one at you." Lu Yifang hurriedly extended his hand toward Logan.
"Kid, that just makes you look even more suspicious." Though he said that, Logan still grabbed Lu Yifang's hand. He had an incredibly powerful healing factor, and taking one hit himself was far better than letting Storm get hit. Lu Yifang's decision to protect Storm first had undoubtedly been the right one.
"Sorry. I suddenly saw Mystique transform into Magneto and ambush and kill Storm, so I lost my temper. I didn't realize..." Cyclops, now clearheaded, began apologizing remorsefully.
"Scott, this isn't your fault. I sensed a mind controller here. She's extremely powerful." Jean spoke at that moment.
The instant she finished speaking, Lu Yifang felt as if someone had tapped him on the forehead. It also sounded like countless mosquitoes buzzing beside his ears, making him extremely irritated.
Lu Yifang was far too familiar with this feeling. Before his ability had fully awakened, **Professor X had harassed him like this for several days, giving him nightmares. Mental power was a very interesting ability to Lu Yifang. Although it could not invade his body, the process of reflecting it produced this peculiar sensation.
Of course, Lu Yifang did not like this feeling.
"Come out!" Through the rebound of his mental power, Lu Yifang detected the person's location. Without hesitation, he picked up a shard of glass from a display stand and threw it.
"Bang!" A suddenly extended hand caught the glass shard. By adjusting its vector, Lu Yifang had given the shard enough force to pierce a wall, yet that person had caught it effortlessly. A woman composed entirely of diamonds walked out.
"I have to admit, I underestimated you. Especially you." The diamond woman pointed at Lu Yifang as she spoke.
"It's you, White Queen!" When Storm saw the woman's condition clearly, she immediately shouted.
"Wait, did White Queen appear in this part of the story?" Lu Yifang's expression also changed. Did I remember wrong, or is the plot itself somewhat different?
In fact, the X-Men movies spanned such a long period of time that they already contained quite a few contradictions. This was especially true after the timeline was rebooted. Lu Yifang clearly remembered that in X-Men: First Class, White Queen had joined Magneto's Brotherhood, but afterward, this powerful Level 4 Mutant had never appeared again.
But Lu Yifang was currently in the real Marvel Universe. Could it be that the world's will had filled in those plot holes? No—looking at it from another angle, this world even had Tony Stark and S.H.I.E.L.D. As a complete Marvel Universe, White Queen appearing here was not strange at all.
Besides, this was not the time to think about that. Lu Yifang felt somewhat fortunate that he had come. Otherwise, if White Queen had launched a surprise attack, she could have wiped out Cyclops and the others by herself.
After figuring this out, Lu Yifang charged toward White Queen without hesitation. He had to tie her down. Otherwise, the allies behind him would soon end up on the opposing side. A five-on-five team battle would turn into a one-against-many game of clearing the dungeon.
After all, White Queen's mental power was second only to Professor X's. Aside from Jean, who could resist her slightly, the others would almost certainly be killed instantly.
Seeing Lu Yifang charge over, White Queen also rushed forward without the slightest fear. The ability to transform one's body into diamond was absolutely one of the strongest Enhancement-type abilities.
Her strength had been greatly increased, and her body had become unnaturally tough. At this moment, she had nothing left to fear.
"Bang!" Lu Yifang collided with White Queen.
"Boom!" White Queen was sent flying, smashing through the wall.
"Leave White Queen to me. You go stop Magneto first. I'll catch up." After saying this, Lu Yifang charged through the hole in the wall.
