The situation inside the dam is terrible.

By the time the mutants rushed in, Stryker was gone. The explosion caused by Nicole caused great damage to the dam, and the thin cracks spread all over the wall, and the wall was constantly seeping water, and in some places there were even small jets of water spraying out.

The dam is on the verge of collapse.

Alec casually threw out a [Detect Evil] in his hand, which made him regret that most of the soldiers here were not evil, and he didn't see the red light he was expecting.

"You go to Charles, I'll go to Nicole."

Jean was a little surprised: "Do you know where Nicole is?" ”

Alec smiled, "I can guess a little." ”

Qin closed her eyes, searched the dam with her mental power, and said a little depressedly: "I can't find that little girl...... Forget it, she's over to you, remember to bring her out safely! ”

After walking together for a while, the two separated.

Alec yawned boredly, then walked out. He could tell from the current state of the dam that Stryker must have escaped, and in the absence of tracking spells, his chances of catching Stryker were almost nil...... As for Nicole, if Stryker hadn't dissected her, she would have escaped from the dam long ago.

Unexpectedly, Nicole's figure appeared behind him.

"Alec, are you going to leave me here?"

Alec was stunned for a moment, and turned back a little stunned: "You're still there?" ”

Nicole was half angry: "What do you mean I'm still here?" Do you think I shouldn't be here? ”

Alec nodded: "Of course, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, you should understand such a simple truth." As I know you, you should have escaped from the dam as soon as possible after the explosion...... Could it be that you would put your own safety at risk in order to save Charles and those little kids? ”

Nicole's face was ugly: "Alec! ”

"Don't pretend to know me very well, you don't know anything about me."

"Really?" Alec was unmoved, "Can you explain why you stayed in the dam?" Actually, I think you're right, I don't know you at all, there are too many mysteries about you. Why don't you explain why you got caught by Stryker's stupid pig? Why do you crave a holy soul so much? I almost forgot, and the most critical point, why can two bottles of red wine in the world summon a succubus princess? Don't you think that's ridiculous? ”

Nicole's face flushed.

Alec stared at her for a long time, but never got an answer.

He said with some disappointment: "Since you don't want to answer, I won't force you, come out with me." ”

The two walked out in silence.

Alec's pace slowed down as he wanted to hear the answer from Nicole's mouth. He wanted Nicole to give him an explanation and a reason to trust her.

But he was ultimately disappointed.

Until the two walked out of the dam, Nicole still didn't give an explanation.

After more than ten minutes, the Alkali Lake dam had begun to collapse, and the huge water pressure was crushing it little by little. As the cracks on the outer wall of the dam grew, columns of water erupted from the cracks, and the deafening sound of water echoed across the embankment. Alec looked around, but didn't notice Charles coming out, and he suddenly had a very bad premonition in his heart.

Stryker fled early, but the dam was still crumbling.

They're not going to be trapped in the dam, are they?!

……

The collapse of the dam is imminent.

Nicole couldn't sit still, she hesitated and looked at Alec, "I might be able to help them!" ”

Alec was surprised and asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

Nicole didn't answer, but simply said directly: "I need souls." ”

Alec hesitated for a moment, but still took out ten soul coins and placed them in Nicole's palm.

Nicole pulled out a dagger, slitted her wrist, and carved an intricate circle into the wound. This was a formation that Alec had never seen before, in fact, not only had he not seen a magic circle, but even those spell runes he couldn't read, but judging from the shape, the spells used by Nicole seemed to be somewhat similar to the sacrificial circle......

Alec pondered Nicole's specialty, and soon, he was able to identify the abilities that Nicole was using.

Divination.

This is one of the most mysterious of all spell abilities.

In fact, among the mystical spells, there are many prophetic spells, but Alec knows that most of these spells are deceptive. Time and space are realms that none of the gods can fully comprehend, how could they be prophesied by such a simple spell?

Take a classic mid-level occult spell, Hogarth's Prophecy, as an example. When the caster uses a spell, he will see a fictional future, and then he will unconsciously work towards this future until this future becomes a reality...... Hogarth's prophecy is not a "precognition" spell at all, but a very powerful hypnotic spell, and the most terrifying thing is that this spell hypnotizes not the enemy, but the caster himself.

But divination is different.

This is real, the ability to predict the future to some extent.

Even if the outcome of this prediction is vague and difficult to control, it still can't deny the power of divination.

…………

Ten soul coins were crushed by Nicole, pale blue energy overflowed, and the red spell runes on her wrists seemed to come alive, twisting and burrowing into her wounds. Red blood immediately spurted out, and a somewhat vague pattern appeared on the ground.

Here is a structural diagram of the dam.

However, on this map, the location of Charles and others is marked.

Alec on the side half-squinted, Nicole's ability now is no longer divination, and the scene in front of her is more like a variant of the specialty of the divination department, guidance. To his surprise, this feat, which didn't appear in Nicole's skill slot, was checked again by Alec with Detection, but Nicole didn't have it in her skill slot.

That's where it gets a lot of fun.

…………

The escape route for Charles and others was already available, but how to inform them was a difficult problem.

The dam collapse is imminent, and neither Alec nor Nicole wants to go back inside. At this time, the only thing that can be relied on is remote communication, and Nicole is considering whether to take the initiative to contact Charles with psychic spells, she is afraid that Charles will peek into her past, and she is even more afraid that Charles will know her identity. Just as she hesitated, Alec solved the problem perfectly.

He pulled out his phone, took a picture, and sent it to Jean.

Alkali Lake is a military base, but it is also a tourist attraction and has internet coverage. Alec played with his phone for a while when he was bored, so he was sure that his pictures would get out.

A short time later, Jean escaped from the dam with Charles.

Then, with a deafening crash, the Al Kali Lake dam collapsed completely, and the boulders mixed with the flood water swept downstream. The X-Men were overjoyed to have rescued Charles and managed to escape.

The more ugly faces are tens of thousands of Magneto and his party.

William Stryker ran away, and their operation was a complete failure, but what hurt Magneto the most was the death of his right-hand man, Raven. Although Alec says he wants to try to resurrect Raven, no one actually thinks he can do it......
