Chapter 22: The Decapitation Operation

The next day, thanks to everyone's unremitting efforts, the brainwave booster was finally repaired, and without further ado, Professor X immediately used it to find Katie's whereabouts:

She's trapped in an abandoned factory just outside of Louiston, Maine!

Immediately afterwards, the X-Men poured out of the nest: Professor X led the team, Wolverine, Storm, and Scott as the backbone of the team, and Iceman Bobby, Naughty and Colossus also participated in the operation as new forces.

It was an unprecedentedly lavish move, but Professor X was still frowning, and an ominous premonition lingered in his mind.

He and Magneto are opponents, and there have been more than one or two confrontations between the two sides, everyone knows each other, and it stands to reason that there should be no accidents, but that kind of hunch ······

While Professor X was still worried about this, the jet had quietly arrived in Louiston, Maine, and after some positioning and searching, the X-Men finally arrived somewhere in the middle of nowhere.

The moment the X-Men stepped out of the jets, they were all shocked by the sight in front of them, and there was no trace of the abandoned factory here under Magneto's transformation:

The original plant and machinery were all gone, the ground was almost covered with metal plates of various colors, and twenty-four tall metal pillars stood all around, faintly showing the tendency of surrounding, and the top of each metal column had a device similar to a signal generator.

Fortunately, everyone was considered to have experienced the big scene, and quickly turned their attention from the strange metal pillars to the girl with long flaxen hair who had fallen in the center of the metal floor.

"It's Katie, what happened to Magneto?"

Seeing this, Storm Girl was the first to rush to Katie, and as a responsible teacher, she was very worried about the safety of her students.

Colossus and the Iceman looked at each other and followed, while the others stayed by Professor X's side.

"Storm girl, be careful, there's an ambush around. ”

Professor X reminded him that his eyes were fixed on a metal pillar opposite, and through telepathy, he found that there were five mutants hiding behind that metal pillar, three of them were Magneto, Demonic Woman, and Burning John, oh, and one should be Evan (Xu Ye)!

"Understood, Professor. ”

Stormgirl is not a reckless person, even if she cares about her students, she will not take it lightly on the battlefield, I see that she is always on the alert for movements around her, and if anything happens, she will activate her abilities to protect herself and her teammates as soon as possible.

However, Magneto doesn't seem to have the intention of taking the initiative, and Stormgirl smoothly comes to Katie's side and checks on the spot, and finds that she is not injured, but has just passed out.

"Professor, she's fine, she's just fainted. Stormgirl picked Katie up and turned to Professor X.

However, at this moment, Katie suddenly opened her eyes suddenly!

She grabbed Storm's waist and activated her ability before Iceman and Colossus could stop her, successfully pulling Stormgirl through the metal floor to a fully enclosed metal cell underground.

Immediately afterward, after confirming that the task assigned to her by Xu Ye was successfully completed, Katie immediately bit through the waterproof capsule hidden under her tongue (a powerful drug, courtesy of Magneto).

"Eric, what did you do to Katie?" said Professor X, exclaimed, in exasperation.

His attention had been on Magneto just now, so he didn't have time to stop Katie when she pulled Stormgirl into the trap. But now, when he tried to contact Katie's mind, he found that the girl, who was controlled by Xu Ye, had fallen into a severe coma.

"Don't worry, Charles, just arranged a spacious room so they can have a good rest. Magneto answered Professor X's question, but he remained behind a metal pillar and did not show up.

"What the hell is your purpose?" Professor X asked with a grim face.

Before the two sides officially started fighting, there was a temporary attrition on the X-Men's side, and it was a high-end combat power like Storm Girl, which made Professor X feel very bad.

"The purpose, of course, is to invite old friends to witness the most meaningful moment in mutant history!" said the heavily armed Magneto as he stepped out from behind the metal pillar alone.

As his words fell, the emitters at the top of the metal pillars suddenly lit up at the same time.

"Let's take a look at this, the second generation of the Mutant Ray Emitter. ”

"Eric, I thought that the last failure had taught you enough lessons, and it was unrealistic to forcibly let ordinary people mutate into mutants, are you still obsessed?"

"No, Charles, I didn't do it this time, it was Stryker! He improved the original radiograph, not only solved the defect of the whole body cell necrosis caused by mutation, but even used satellites to launch mutant rays to any location in the world. ”

"Stryker, how is that possible?" Professor X looked incredulous.

"Isn't Stryker's purpose to exterminate all mutants in the world, and why would he do that?" asked Scott, who had been sensitive to the name "Stryker" since losing Jean.

Wolverine didn't say anything, but quietly took a small step forward, faintly blocking Professor X behind him.

He had been ready to fight from the start, but in the rare absence of his claws, he knew it would be unwise to do so in front of Magneto.

"We've all been lied to him, and Stryker's ambitions probably don't stop there. Magneto ignored Wolverine's petty actions and continued, "On the one hand, he is committed to exterminating all mutants, and on the other hand, he is planning to create a group of mutants under his control alone. ”

"Is he going to ······?" Professor X probably thought of something, and suddenly his face changed wildly.

However, when he was so distracted, Xu Ye, who received Magneto's prompt, immediately launched a teleportation and came to a position about 20 meters behind Professor X!

Originally, when the X-Men faced Magneto, they all consciously stood in front of Professor X. It's not that they don't worry about the enemy behind them, it's just that with Professor X, no matter how good the other party is, it is impossible to escape his telepathy.

Unfortunately, what they didn't expect was that some of the enemies would teleport, and they also took advantage of Professor X's distraction to launch a surprise attack.

In this way, Professor X was the first to be exposed to Xu Ye's gun!

The first to act was Wolverine, his keen battle instinct made his body react before his brain, only to see him suddenly pop out his claws, turn around and pounce on Xu Ye with an arrow step.

At this distance, for Wolverine, Xu Ye is no different from a cooked steak!

Immediately afterwards, Professor X also reacted, and he simply launched mind control on Xu Ye without looking back, but unfortunately it was still a step too late!

At this time, Xu Ye had already aimed at his head and pulled the trigger, and although Professor X successfully controlled Xu Ye's body, he couldn't control the bullet that was fired at him.

Maybe Wolverine can help him block the bullet, but unfortunately Magneto won't let this happen, and at the same time that Wolverine just reacted, he manipulated Wolverine's body and took a rather shameful pose on the spot.

So, the others, who were a little slower to react, could only watch as the bullet was fired into Professor X's slippery head, but there was nothing they could do.

However, to everyone's bewilderment, Professor X was obviously hit, but not a single blood flowed out, not even a small piece of skin was scratched, as if the bullet was just a phantom.

So the question arises: is that bullet really a phantom?

Of course not, it was an ability elimination bullet specially prepared by Xu Ye, and Professor X would not be able to use any ability for at least a day after being shot.

At the same time, his mind control over Xu Ye was also interrupted with the temporary disappearance of his ability.

After regaining his freedom, Xu Ye did not hesitate and immediately used teleportation to return to Magneto. Now he has no extra energy to use, so in order to prevent being set on fire by the other party, he naturally has to hug Magneto's thigh.

In fact, Xu Ye could just use live ammunition to kill Professor X with one shot and directly complete the [Special Mission]. However, in that case, his [Hidden Mission] is destined to be completed.

Because if Xu Ye really killed Professor X, as a good friend of Professor X, Magneto would definitely be the first to come to him for trouble!

"Alright, my mission is complete, and from now on, Professor X won't be able to use any abilities for at least an hour. ”

Xu Ye said to Magneto while inserting the Desert Eagle he had just used back into his waist (there was only one bullet in this gun) and replacing it with another Desert Eagle filled with live ammunition.

At the same time, Demon, Burning John, and another female mutant with short pink hair also emerge from behind the metal pillar and confront the X-Men.

"Very well! Bella, let's get started. The others stopped me at me!"

With that, Magneto waved his hands, and the metal that covered the ground suddenly flipped up, instantly forming a huge metal ball, temporarily trapping the X-Men.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the short-haired mutant with pink hair named Bella immediately took a step back, simply sat down on the ground, opened his laptop, and began to operate quickly.

Her ability is to input part of her mental power into the computer network, and she is a natural hacker.

I saw Bella's eyes glow with a faint blue light, and her ten fingers were tapping quickly on the keyboard. Under her control, the nuclear reactor buried deep underground began to be activated, and the mutant ray emitter was warmed up.

Immediately afterwards, hundreds of communication satellites across the country were hacked at the same time, and they stopped their original tasks one after another and began to communicate with each other and connect with each other. Within seconds, a satellite network was born that could cover every corner of the globe.

At the same time, the X-Men have finally broken through the siege of the metal ball and confronted the members of Magneto's mutant brotherhood.

Iceman Barbie confronts his old friend, John the Burning Man. As soon as the two of them came up, they opened up directly, and the fight was so hot that they couldn't get along, and the scene was called ice and fire.

Scott angrily drops his glasses and chases after the Demon. Who told her to turn into a piano to stimulate Scott.

Wolverine and Colossus were both dragged down by Magneto at the same time, one of them was covered in metal, and the other activated his ability to directly turn into a walking iron lump, which was restrained by Magneto.

In the end, the little naughty man was left, and he faced Xu Ye as a matter of course.

Xu Ye knew that once he was approached by the little naughty, he would definitely only be killed in seconds, so he had to use the firearm in his hand and his own agility to constantly deal with her, on the one hand, to prevent her from getting close, and on the other hand, to prevent her from interfering with Bella, which was also quite hard for a while.

Fortunately, Bella finally didn't delay for too long, and just when Xu Ye felt that she couldn't hold on anymore, she finally completed her mission, and the transmitter began to run at full power, and twenty-four crimson mutant rays shot straight into the sky.

These rays are constantly transmitted, reflected, gathered, and separated in the network of improvised satellites over the earth, and finally form thousands of rays, which are shot to the ground one after another like falling stars, accurately hitting the target: the important heads of government of the world.

At this moment, all government institutions in the world were plunged into chaos almost at the same time, mutations were staged at the same time on the heads of government of various countries, and the delicate balance between mutants and ordinary people was completely shattered by a sudden disaster!

And Xu Ye finally received a prompt from the Honor terminal:

[Hidden mission, completed.] 】

[Quest rewards will be settled and distributed after leaving the quest world.] 】
