"Qin!"
The door on the top floor of Xavier's Castle was pushed open, and in front of Merlin and Ororo, there was already a messy room.
Qin, who is responsible for treating Lona’s psychic variant Qin, fell to the ground and appeared to be stunned and comatose, and the room was full of traces of fighting, as well as twisted metal, and an abnormal magnetic field remained in the air It seems that the small Wanci Wang Lona also joined the previous battle.
"The space is slightly disordered."
Merlin felt the traces left in this room. At the end of the house, beside the collapsed bookshelf, he felt the faint energy left after the space jumped.
"Someone'jumped in' here, intervened in the room's battle, and then took Lorna and Steel Lux."
Merlin squatted on the ground, looking at the footprints left on the ground, but what puzzled him was that there was still a scent of sulfur in the room, which was a faint smell of demon, and in addition to the piano in this room In addition to Lorna and Steel Lux, there are footprints left by two other strangers.
One of the women who looked like bare feet was left behind.
"She was stunned, probably because of time constraints, and the intruder didn't have time to hurt her."
Orolo picked up the piano and carefully checked the situation of her friend. After a while, she tried to wake the piano and said to Merlin:
"Anything found?"
"A man suspected of being a demon contractor entered here."
Merlin stood up and frowned tightly.
Magneto came for Lorna, but the cunning old man did not do it himself. The previous confrontation in the courtyard was just to attract the attention of the X-Men.
The old man was very cunning, with great strength, he did not lose his wisdom, and he had a helper with super execution.
Sure enough, it's a tough guy.
"Demon Contractor?"
Storm Girl shook her head, she said:
"You are talking about the Red Devil, a mutant black wizard who is good at space jumping and charm spells, the most powerful tracker and assassin under Magneto. He does have some signs of demonization, but he is essentially a mutant. "
"Well, maybe."
Merlin is not sure about Ororo's claims. Merlin doesn't know much about mutants, but when it comes to understanding demons, Storm Girl doesn't deserve Merlin's shoes.
Merlin can be sure that the guy who jumped in here is a real demon. Although the remaining breath is weak, it is pure.
That's the breath from the dimension of hell, it can't be wrong.
"But what I'm more puzzled about is that they would take Lorna away. I understand. But why did they take Steel Lux?"
Merlin frowned and said:
"Are there any secrets in Piot that we don't understand?"
"They didn't take away Steel Lux."
Just before Merlin hesitated, the beast Hank, who changed his suit, pushed the door and walked in.
This powerful animal variant has extremely strong resilience. Just now Hank was pierced by Magneto with steel bars. After only a few minutes, his wound healed.
However, judging from his slightly staggering footsteps, his injuries were not fully recovered.
"Somers found the unconscious Steel Lux in the woods behind the castle. He was stunned by Magneto before the war. The people you stayed here to protect Qin and Lorna should be changed by Ruiwen. "
The beast shook his head ugly, and he said:
"Ruiwen has been very low-key in recent years. She has not been in public activity for a long time, which makes us ignore her threat. But her ability to disguise is still as sharp as ever."
"Ruiwen?"
Merlin looked back at Hank and he said:
"Magic woman? Isn't she always alone? According to our records, the magic woman should have been active in Europe all these years and have been rescued from the injured mutants, right? I heard, She also has a high status in the mutant society?"
"Yes."
Ororo reached out and used her ability to condense two pieces of ice and put it on the swollen wound on Qin's forehead. She replied:
"The ever-changing witch Ruiwen was the original partner of Professor Charles and Magnet. Her origin was mysterious, but she was very strong and had her own ideas. After the professor and Magneto collapsed, she first followed Magnetite, but later He broke away from the Brotherhood and started his own rescue."
"She has rescued many trapped, oppressed, and injured mutants in the past few decades. Many mutants regard her as an idol. But like you said, Ruiwen has always been alone and does not participate in the professor. Fighting against Magneto's idea is probably because she doesn't want to hurt any friend. In short, she is a neutral."
"It seems that she broke the neutrality?"
Merlin said in a bad tone:
"She was on Magnet's side."
"No, don't be so arbitrary."
The Beast Hank shook his head. He glanced at the unconscious piano. He said:
"Ruiwen is my friend. I have been with her for a long time. She is a decent person. I think that this time she joined forces with Magneto, it should not be directed at us. According to the principles that Ruiwen has always adhered to, she It is likely that another rescue operation is in progress, so I have temporarily cooperated with Magneto."
"Do you trust her so much?"
Merlin looked at Hank, and he noticed that Hank's eyes became gentle every time he mentioned the Magic Woman.
This convinced Merlin that the mane-brushed man in front of him had a kind of surpassing friend's expectation for the legendary female mutant.
"I trust her."
Hank said firmly:
"It's like I trust Charles."
"Uh..."
During the conversation, the stunned Qin Grei woke up wandering. The psychic mutant opened his eyes and saw a worried Ororo. She touched her forehead with some pain, she said :
"Ruiwen...Ruiwen attacked me, Lorna wanted to protect me...but was taken away by the red demon who appeared suddenly, they planned ahead."
"Sorry...I didn't protect Lorna."
"Do you know where the child was taken?"
Merlin asked.
Qin shook his head, she said:
"The speed of the Red Devil is too fast. I didn't have time to perceive his thinking, but I saw some pictures in her mind while Rui Wen was fighting."
The psychic mutant raised his head and said to Storm Girl and Beast Hank:
"In Canada, there is a base in a valley, where many mutants are locked. Ruiwen is here to rescue them. Logan...Logan is also locked inside."
"She must have deliberately let you see it."
The beast frowned and said:
"According to Rui Wen's martial skills and camouflage ability, if she really wants to stun you, you will not have the opportunity to fight with her... Rui Wen is using this method to send us messages. She wants us to also Join this rescue operation."
"Fine."
The kind of maintenance of the magic girl in and out of Hank's words made Merlin very dissatisfied. The Magic Woman has already attacked people on her side, but this guy actually speaks for her enemies... Do these mutants have problems with their brains?
But he did not show this emotion. He just nodded, looked around, and then said to Storm Girl and the Beast:
"It seems that the missing mutants have been found, and what the professor entrusted me to do is also completed. I will go first."
When he had finished speaking, he took steps to leave the room.
"Merlin!"
Storm Girl called behind him:
"We have to determine the next plan of action, we have to act together."
"I have my plan, I prefer to act alone."
Merlin said without looking back:
"Furthermore, Lorna was taken away, I have to bring her back."
"Do you know where the child was taken?"
The beast asked:
"Rather than blindly searching, it is better to act with us. Maybe we can find the base of Magneto, maybe Lorna is there."
"I have a special tracking method."
Merlin responded blankly to:
"What's more, this matter may involve alien demons, you don't know anything about them, or I'll handle it better."
"Are you going to act alone?"
Ororo felt Merlin's mood change, she asked:
"why?"
"It's nothing."
Merlin was silent for a moment, he said:
"Just, I promised the child that I would protect her, but I let her down. Lorna must be scared now, she was taken away by a demon, God knows what that will do to her, I must find she was."
"And, you have your own things to do, don't you?"
He looked at the time of the clock on the wall and said:
"Time is running out, so the soldiers are divided in two ways."
After finishing speaking, Merlin left the room. Ororo looked at the back of Merlin leaving. She looked up and looked at Hank. She said:
"He seems angry? Why?"
"Probably... it's because of our preference for Ruiwen."
Beast Hank is a keen person. He watched Merlin leave and whispered:
"Merlin is an agent. They are a group of people who clearly distinguish the enemy from their friends."
"He has a hard time understanding the grudges and grudges between the mutants, especially the complicated relationship between the professor and Magnet. After all, in the mutant system, the boundaries between friends and enemies are not so clear, which may make He felt a little uncomfortable."
On the other side, Merlin, who had left the manor, stood in a messy, metal-covered lawn. He looked back at the manor behind him, and he shook his head and whispered:
"It's really a group of emotionally serious guys who just killed and killed a moment ago, and in a blink of an eye they have to cooperate to save people. What do they think of this? Have they played their games?"
While talking, he took the pages of the dark book from his pocket. He said to the pages:
"Tell me, where is Lorna?"
The yellowed pages in his hand no longer give a reminder this time, just skip that link and give the task.
"Capture the red devil Asazo and find a way to the border of hell."
"why?"
Merlin asked:
"Why do you always let me do these weird things?"
Soon, a line appeared on the paper.
"Because ‘they’ want the story to be more exciting.
"Are they again?"
Merlin couldn't help raising his head and looking at the sky under the night, he said:
"Who is watching the gladiator? The audience in the theater? Or a group of observers?"
Merlin looked at the paper in his hand and he said:
"‘They’ are the people behind me who manipulate all this?"
This time, the parchment was "silent" for a few seconds, then a clear answer emerged:
"No! "They" are not..."
"how about you?"
Merlin says:
"Are you the messenger of "they"?"
An answer quickly appeared on the parchment that made Merlin want to tear it off.
"you guess?"
Merlin's eyes twitched, and he took a deep breath and said:
"Okay, I will take this task. Give me information!"
"Uh"
A line of clear addresses soon appeared in front of Merlin, a street in Detroit, with the house number and specific basement number clearly marked.
Merlin pulled the silver sword Vlad backhand, took out the demon oil, and applied it to the blade.
He was holding a bottle of flaming holy water in his other hand. At the next moment, his figure suddenly disappeared in place. With a certain address, the shapeshifting spell could take him into the hiding place of the red devil.
"Sprees! Mazefakl!"
With a frivolous greeting, Merlin's figure jumped into the red devil's hiding place.
In the slightly dim basement, the eccentric mutant who was wearing a black suit, with red skin, a devil's inverted triangular tail, and small black horns, eating, had no time to look back, and the face was a splash of hot water. Over here.
There was still a trace of consternation on the face of the red devil Assazo with the wacky spell, but it responded extremely quickly. Just before the holy water was added, its figure disappeared in place between the red flashes.
While being tied to the chair, the fearful little girl Lorna saw Merlin jump out, and a sudden surprise appeared on her face.
"brother!"
A clear, full of surprise cries also sounded in the basement, it seems that Qin's treatment is useful, this child is now recovering from aphasia.
"Uh"
The red devil appeared behind Lorna like a ghost, and the sharp blade in Merlin's hand screamed at the present red devil. The latter grabbed Lorna's shoulder in one hand and waved it in the other, between the bursts of heavy sulfur smell. A few little evil monsters howled out of the red light and rushed towards Merlin.
"Wow"
The sharp silver sword flashed a few arcs in the air, and in less than 1 second slashed the little evil demon in the air, but Lorna and the red devil disappeared again in the basement.
"boom"
Merlin kicked the chair in front of him with some irritable kick, and it felt absolutely uncomfortable to miss it.
But the red devil's ignorance of distance is almost instantaneous, and the space jump without pause is really tricky. It is difficult to rely on the shifting spell to grasp it again.
After all, although the cast spell is short, it still takes time, and it is completely incomparable with the instantaneous movement brought by the talent of the Red Devil.
"You have to find a way."
Merlin sighed in relief and tried to calm himself down. His mind changed sharply. After a while, he got an attention.
Merlin reached out his cell phone and dialed a strange number while looking at what was left by the red devil in the basement.
After a few seconds, the call is connected. A familiar, deep voice sounded in the phone.
"Hey?"
"Gordon, do me a favor!"
