"Jean!"
The door to the top floor of Xavier's castle was pushed open, revealing Merlin and Auroro with a room in disarray.Jean, the psychic mutant in charge of healing Lona.
Grey fell to the ground, looking knocked unconscious, and the room was filled with signs of fighting, twisted metal, and abnormal magnetic fields left in the air, and it seemed that Magneto Lorna had joined the previous battle."
The space is a little out of order."
Merlin felt the traces left in the room, and at the end of the house, beside the collapsed bookshelves, he felt the faint energy left behind by the spatial jump."
Someone 'jumped' in, intervened in the room's fighting, and took Lorna and Colossus."
Merlin crouched on the ground, checking the footprints left on the ground, but what puzzled him was that there was still a vague smell of sulfur in the room, which was a faint demonic aura, and there were footprints left by two other strangers in this room, in addition to Jean, Lorna, and Colossus.One of them looked like it was left by a barefoot woman."
She was knocked unconscious, probably because time was running out and the intruder didn't have time to hurt her."
Auroro picked Jean up and carefully checked her friend's condition, and after a few moments, she tried to wake Jean up and said to Merlin, "Did you find anything?"
”"Someone suspected of being a demonic contractor has entered here."
Merlin stood up, his brow furrowed.Magneto was here for Lona, but the cunning old man didn't do it himself, and the previous confrontation in the courtyard was just to attract the attention of the X-Men.The old man was cunning, and while he had great strength, he had not lost his wisdom, and he also had a helper with super executive power.Sure enough, it's a tough guy to deal with."
Demon Contractor?"
Storm Girl shook her head, and she said, "You should be talking about the Red Devil, a mutant dark wizard who specializes in space jumping and seductive spells, and the most powerful tracker and assassin under Magneto's command.He does have some signs of demonization, but he's essentially a mutant. ”"Well, maybe."
Merlin is noncommittal about Auroro'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 here is a real demon, and its residual breath is faint but pure.It was the breath from the Hell dimension, and it couldn't be wrong."
But what makes me more confused is that I can understand that they want to take Lorna.But why did they take Colossus at the same time?
”Merlin frowned and said, "Could it be that Piot has some secrets in him that we don't know?"
”"They didn't take Colux."
Just as Merlin hesitated, Hank, the beast who had changed back into a suit, pushed the door open and walked in.This kind of beastly mutant of the power type is extremely resilient, and Hank was just pierced through his body by Magneto with a steel bar, and in just a few minutes, his wounds were almost healed.But judging by his slightly stumbling steps, his injuries have not fully recovered."
Summers found the unconscious Colossus in the woods behind the castle, who was stunned by Magneto with magnetism before the battle began.The people you left here to protect Jean and Lorna just now should have changed from Raven. ”The beast shook his head with an ugly look on his face, and said, "Raven has been very low-key in recent years, and she hasn't been active in public for a long time, which makes us ignore her threat.But her camouflage ability is still as sharp as ever. ”"Raven?"
Merlin looked back at Hank, and he said, "Witch?
Hasn't she always been a loner?
According to the records of our information, the Demonic Girl should have been active in Europe all these years, rescuing the injured mutants, right?
I've heard that she also has a high status in the mutant society?
”"Yes."
Auroro stretched out his hand and used his power to condense two ice cubes and apply them to the swollen wound on Jean's forehead, and she replied, "Raven, the witch of the ever-changing world, was the original partner of Professor Charles and Magnit, she came from a mysterious background, but she was very self-reliant, and had her own ideas, after the professor fell out with Magneto, she first followed Magneto, but then broke away from the Brotherhood and started her own salvation business. ”"She's rescued a lot of stranded, oppressed, hurt mutants over the past few decades, and a lot of mutants look up to her as an idol.But like you said, Raven has always been a loner and doesn't participate in the professor's ideological struggle with Magneto, probably because she doesn't want to hurt any of her friends, and in short, she's a neutral. ”"So it seems that she broke neutrality?"
Merlin said in an unkind tone, "She's on Magnit's side." ”"No, don't be so arbitrary."
The Beast Hank shook his head, he glanced at the unconscious Jean, and said, "Raven is my friend, I have been with her for a long time, she is a measured person.I think that her teaming up with Magneto this time should not be aimed at us, according to the principle that Raven has always adhered to, she is probably carrying out another rescue operation, so she has cooperated with Magneto for the time being. ”"Do you trust her so much?"
Merlin looked at Hank, and he noticed that every time he mentioned the Shapeshifter, Hank's eyes became gentle.This convinced Merlin that the rough man with a mane in front of him had a kind of expectation of transcending his friends from the legendary female mutant who could be ever-changing."
I trust her."
Hank said firmly: "It's like I trust Charles." ”"Uhh Grey woke up slowly, and the psychic mutant opened her eyes to see Auroro with a worried face, she stroked her forehead in some pain, and she said, "Raven...
It was Raven who attacked me, and Lorna wanted to protect me...
But being taken away by the sudden appearance of the Red Devil, they planned in advance. ”"I'm sorry...
I couldn't protect Lona. ”"Do you know where the kid was taken?"
Merlin asked.Jean shook her head, and she said, "The Red Devil was too fast for me to perceive his thoughts, but I saw some images in her mind as Raven grappled. ”The psychic mutants looked up and said to Storm Girl and Hank the Beast, "In Canada, in a valley, there is a base where many mutants are imprisoned, and Raven is here to save them."
Logan...
Logan was also kept inside. ”"She must have made it for you to see."
The beast frowned and said, "According to Raven's martial arts and camouflage ability, if she really wants to stun you, you won't have a chance to fight her at all...
Raven is using this method to deliver a message to us.She wants us to join us in the rescue effort. ”"Okay."
The kind of maintenance of the demon girl in and out of Hank's words made Merlin very dissatisfied in his heart.The Shapeshifter has already launched an attack on her own side, but this guy is still speaking for her enemies...
Do these mutants have brain problems?
But he didn't show such emotion, he just nodded, looked left and right, and then said to Storm Girl and the beast, "It seems that those missing mutants have been found, and what the professor entrusted me to do is done."
I'll go first. ”With that, he stepped away and prepared to leave the room."
Merlin!"
The Storm Maiden called out behind him, "We need to decide on the next plan of action, we need to act together." ”"I have my plans, I prefer to go it alone."
Merlin said without looking back, "Besides, Lorna has been taken, and I have to bring her back." ”"Do you know where the kid was taken?"

The beast asked, "Instead of blindly searching, let's go with us, maybe we can find Magneto's base by the way, maybe Lorna is there." ”"I have a special way of tracking it."
Merlin replied expressionlessly, "What's more, this matter may involve alien demons, and you don't know anything about them, so it's better for me to deal with them." ”"You're going to go it alone?"
Auroro sensed Merlin's mood change, and she asked, "Why?"
”"Nothing."
Merlin was silent for a moment, and then he said, "It's just that I promised the kid that I would protect her, but I let her down.Lorna must be scared now, she's been taken by a demon, God knows what that bastard will do to her, I have to find her. ”"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 pressing, so let's divide the soldiers." ”With that, Merlin left the room, and Auroro looked at Merlin's back as he left, and she looked up at Hank, and she said, "He seems to be angry?"
Why?
”"Probably...
It's because of our favoritism for Raven. ”Hank the Beast was a very perceptive man, and he watched Merlin leave, and then whispered, "Merlin is an agent, and they are a group of people who distinguish between friends and enemies. ”"He struggled to understand the grievances between mutants, especially the complicated relationship between the professor and Magnit, after all, in the mutant system, the boundaries between friends and enemies are not so clear, which may make him feel a little uncomfortable."
On the other side, Merlin, who had left the manor, stood in a mess of lawns covered with metal wreckage, he glanced back at the manor behind him, he shook his head, and whispered: "What a group of emotional guys, they were fighting to the death just now, and in the blink of an eye, they have to cooperate to save people."
What do they take this for?
Playing games?
”He complained as he took out the pages of the Dark Book from his pocket, and he said to them, "Tell me, where is Lorna?"
”The yellowed page in his hand simply stopped reminding him this time, and directly skipped that link and gave the task."
Capture the Red Devil Asazzo and find your way to the borders of hell from him.""
Why?"
Merlin asked, "Why do you keep making me do these weird things?"
”Soon, a line appeared on the paper."
Because 'they' want the story to be better.""'
They' again?"
Merlin couldn't help but raise his head and look at the sky under the night, and he said, "Someone watching the gladiatorial fight?
Audience in the theater?
Or a group of observers?
”Merlin looked at the paper in his hand and said, "'They', are they the ones behind me who manipulate all this?"
”This time, the parchment was "silent" for a few seconds, and then a clear answer emerged: "No!"'
They' aren't...""
What about you?"
Merlin said, "Are you 'their' messenger?"
”An answer quickly appeared on the parchment that made Merlin want to tear it off."
Guess?"
The corners of Merlin's eyes twitched, he took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I'll take this task."
Give me information!
”Merlin quickly appeared with a clear address, a street in Detroit, and even the house number and specific basement number were clearly marked.Merlin pulled out the silver sword Vlad with his backhand, took out the demon oil, and applied it to the blade.He held a bottle of Flame Water in his other hand, and the next moment, his figure suddenly disappeared in place, and with a definite address, the Transfiguration Charm could lead him into the Red Devil's hideout."
Spruce!
Mazefalk!
”With a slightly flirtatious greeting, Merlin's figure jumped into the Red Devil's hideout.In the slightly dimly lit basement, the eccentric mutant in a black suit, with red skin, a demon's inverted triangular tail, and small black horns, had only time to turn around, only to be greeted by a bottle of scorching holy water.There was still a hint of astonishment on the face of the Red Devil Asazzo, which was tattooed with strange spells, but it reacted extremely quickly, and the moment before the holy water was added, its figure flickered red and disappeared in place.Lorna, a little girl tied to a chair with a frightened face, saw Merlin jump out, and a look of surprise suddenly appeared on her face."
Brother!"
A crisp, surprised cry rang out in the basement, it seemed that Jean's treatment was working, and the child was now recovering from aphasia.The Red Devil appeared behind Lorna like a ghost, and the blade in Merlin's hand also roared and stabbed at the Red Devil who appeared, who grabbed Lorna's shoulder with one hand and waved it with the other, and between the explosion of the heavy sulfur smell, several little devils howled out of the red light and pounced towards Merlin.The sharp silver sword flashed a few arcs of light in the air, slashing the pounced little devils in the air in less than 1 second, but Lorna and the Red Devil disappeared into the basement again."
Bang" Merlin kicked over the chair in front of him with some irritation, and the feeling of missing by a fraction of a second was definitely uncomfortable.But the Red Devil's spatial jumps that ignore distance, are almost instantaneous, and don't require pauses are tricky, and it's hard to catch it again with the Transfiguration Charm alone.After all, the Transfiguration Spell is short, but it still takes time, and it can't compare to the teleportation brought about by the Red Devil's talent."
Gotta figure figure out."
Merlin breathed a sigh of relief and tried to calm himself, his mind racing, and after a moment, he had a notice.Merlin took out his phone and dialed an unfamiliar number while checking what the Red Devil had left behind in the basement.A few seconds later, the call was connected.A familiar, deep voice rang out in the phone."
Hello?""
Gordon, do me a favor!"
