"Ugh…"
After a brief struggle, Raven covered his mouth and dragged him into a room.
"Tell me about the battle against that mutant kid…"
Mystique began her interrogation.
Jairo initially didn't want to answer, but under Mystique's methods, he painfully started to talk.
Mystique listened, puzzled, while taking out a recording pen to record the soldier's account, intending to let Erik hear it later.
Soon, she noticed that as he recalled, the soldier named Jairo's face was filled with fear.
"He… he was terrifying!"
"We thought the battle was foolproof, especially with Number One and Number Five there!"
"But…"
He recounted how Number Five made a move, using an energy blast, only to be effortlessly knocked away by the boy.
As he continued, Mystique's face showed surprise.
This mutant kid seemed unexpectedly strong?
When Jairo mentioned that Number One's pulse interference had no effect on the boy, Mystique was stunned.
Based on her earlier information, Number One's pulse interference was very strong.
It was because of this that she didn't dare to easily enter this experimental base or sneak into their ranks, fearing the pulse interference would nullify her shapeshifting abilities.
But now, this soldier told her that Number One's pulse interference failed?
It failed against that mutant kid?!
This mutant kid…
At this moment, Mystique's yellow pupils were filled with astonishment.
Meanwhile, Jairo's face was full of fear.
"Just when I thought this was almost the kid's limit, he…"
Panting, he was so terrified he could barely speak.
"What did he do?" Mystique asked in confusion.
What could make this soldier so scared?
Jairo fearfully muttered, "The light destroyed everything…"
"Including Number One and Number Five; they all died in the light unleashed by Number Thirty-Seven!"
"The power of that light was unstoppable, unlike anything a human could possess, like a god's power!"
"They all died, all turned to ash under the light, hahaha!"
As he spoke, he became hysterical, seemingly driven mad by fear.
Listening to his account, Mystique was filled with shock.
"Light?"
"What kind of light has such power?"
"All dead?!"
At this moment, she was filled with confusion, not understanding what kind of light the soldier was talking about that had such terrifying power.
Just as she was about to ask for more details, an alarm sounded within the experimental base, indicating an intruder.
Mystique frowned, knowing she couldn't continue.
With a snap, she dealt with the soldier named Jairo.
At this moment, the 23rd base was in chaos, with soldiers searching for the intruder.
Experienced in infiltration and escape, Mystique easily transformed into someone else and slipped out of the base.
By the time the base personnel realized, it was too late.
After escaping the experimental base, Raven took a deep look at the distant base.
She had intended to stay at the base to gather more information about the mutant boy, such as his parents' identities, hoping to find something useful, but…
"Not this time, maybe next time."
Raven shook her head and left with curiosity about the mutant boy.
As she left the base, the prisoners inside were also talking.
"Someone sneaked in?"
"The base is really going downhill, huh…"
One prisoner sneered.
To be honest, someone sneaking into the experimental base wasn't the most shocking thing to them.
The most shocking thing was what they had heard not long ago.
Those who went to capture Number Thirty-Seven, including Number One and Number Five, were all dead!
This news was as shocking as experiencing a magnitude nine earthquake!
Those were Number Five with self-healing abilities and Number One with pulse interference and other powers!
Previously, they had been gloating and pitying.
Some even bet on whether Number Thirty-Seven would be brought back with broken limbs or dead, not one thinking he would escape!
But now…
They heard that Number One and Number Five were all killed by Number Thirty-Seven?
Every prisoner was stunned.
"I suspect I heard wrong!"
"How did he do it?"
"Could it be that Number Thirty-Seven can really escape the base's capture?!"
…
Time passed, and after half an hour…
Raven, holding the recording pen, prepared to return to the Brotherhood of Mutants.
However, to her surprise, she encountered three interesting individuals on the way.
Hiding in a concealed corner, Raven quietly observed the three not far away.
One man and two women, all wearing black battle suits with an X emblem.
One of the women had white hair and blue eyes, with slightly dark skin, unmistakably Storm.
The other had red hair, with a uniquely charming appearance, Phoenix Jean.
As for the man, he wore black glasses, clearly Cyclops Scott.
"Ororo, Jean, Scott?" Raven was surprised.
Suddenly, Jean, walking on the street, stopped.
"Jean, what's wrong?" Cyclops Scott turned to ask.
Phoenix gestured for him to stay quiet and then looked to the right.
"I sensed you." Jean said.
Raven frowned, knowing Jean wasn't bluffing.
She slowly walked out.
"Mystique?"
Scott and Ororo were surprised, then became alert.
Though Mystique was also a mutant, she was a member of the Brotherhood of Mutants, and their relationship wasn't good.
"What are you doing here?" Scott asked warily.
"What are you doing here?" Mystique retorted.
Without waiting for their answer, Raven quickly guessed the reason and smiled.
"You're also here for that mutant kid, aren't you?"
"To save him?" she laughed.
Scott frowned.
Seeing their expressions, Raven chuckled and said, "Then you're a step too late."
What?
Scott's face changed, sensing something wrong.
That kid, could he…
Knowing what they were thinking, Raven raised an eyebrow and said, "He's fine; in fact, he's exceeded your expectations."
Knowing it was futile to escape easily with Jean's mental powers around, Raven candidly explained.

Not injured? Unexpected?
Scott and the others looked at each other in surprise.
"What do you mean, 'unexpected'?" Scott asked, puzzled.
Raven smiled slightly and said something astonishing, "That kid is terrifyingly strong. Everyone sent to capture him died at his hands!"
"Among them were two powerful mutants: one with super-speed healing and energy blasts, the other with pulse interference…"
After detailing the abilities of these two individuals, Raven smiled, "But these two powerful mutants also died at the hands of that boy."
Hearing Mystique's explanation, Jean and the others were shocked.
Such powerful mutants, all dead?
"How did they die?" Storm's blue eyes were full of confusion.
The next second, Mystique Raven gave an answer that left them stunned.
"They died under the light, in the light released by that boy. They all died!"
What?
All died in the light?
Scott and the others were shocked.
"What light?"
"What kind of light can kill such powerful mutants?" Scott asked in confusion.
"That, I don't know." Raven smiled.
Scott turned to Jean, "Jean, is she telling the truth?"
"She's not lying," Jean said, using her telepathy.
Scott and Storm were visibly surprised and deeply puzzled.
At that moment, they couldn't help but want to see that light for themselves.
What kind of light could kill two powerful mutants?
"Where is he now?" Scott inquired.
"I don't know." Raven shook her head and then said, "Okay, can I leave now?"
Scott hesitated for a moment, knowing there was no point in keeping Mystique, so he nodded.
Raven gave them one last look and left, intending to return to the Brotherhood of Mutants and report the situation to Erik.
After her silhouette disappeared, Storm spoke, "What should we do now?"
"Let's report this to the Professor," Scott said.
He took out his phone and called Professor X.
Soon, the call connected.
"Scott?"
"Did you find him?"
Professor X's voice came from the other end.
Scott glanced at Jean and the others and said, "Professor, we…"
He then recounted their encounter with Mystique and what she had told them.
"The boy used light to kill all those who were hunting him?"
Professor X frowned, focusing on the light.
"What kind of mutant ability is so powerful?"
At that moment, not only were Scott and the others surprised, puzzled, and curious, but he was also eager to meet that boy.
While he instructed Scott to continue searching for the boy, a storm was brewing online.
Since the host Irina announced that the government would deploy a secret weapon to capture the mutant boy, countless netizens had been following her updates.
At this moment, the internet was flooded with comments urging her for news.
"Irina, have they caught him yet?"
"What is the secret weapon?"
"Give us the latest updates!"
The flood of comments made Irina break into a cold sweat, feeling a bit panicked.
According to the latest information she had received, the operation had failed!
Even the secret weapon prepared had died at the hands of that boy!
With all this happening, how was she supposed to respond to the netizens?
At this moment, besides disbelief, she felt a deep regret.
If she had known, she wouldn't have made such bold statements about the secret weapon ensuring the boy's capture!
What should she do now? Should she tell the truth?
While she was at a loss, her boss called.
"What? Tell the truth?" Irina said in surprise.
On the other end, her boss's calm voice continued.
"This matter cannot be hidden. It's better to say it sooner to minimize the impact."
"But try to keep it brief and not damage the government's credibility too much…"
Hearing this, Irina felt relieved and smiled, "Don't worry, boss, I'll handle it!"
After hanging up, she immediately started preparing her script.
An hour and a half later, the highly anticipated live broadcast began.
Under the spotlight, Irina, dressed in a bright red dress, looked radiant and captivating.
"Hello, everyone. I'm your host, Irina."
With a sweet smile, Irina said, "Today, I'm here to tell you the outcome of the recent operation to capture the mutant boy."
Hearing her words, whether viewers harbored ill will towards mutants or were just curious, all eyes were filled with anticipation.
"Finally, there's an outcome. They succeeded, right? When will the mutant fugitive be shown?"
"With the secret weapon, that mutant kid must have been captured, no doubt!"
"When will the trial for that fugitive be?"
Viewers buzzed with discussion, eagerly awaiting Irina's announcement.
However, the next second, they heard an answer that left them stunned.
"Dear viewers, I'm sorry to say that this operation failed."
Irina sighed.
At those words, countless expressions froze, especially those who had been certain the mutant fugitive would be caught and tried. They were now incredulous.
Soon, curses erupted from the viewers.
"Shit, are the authorities all useless? They couldn't catch one person?"
"What happened to the secret weapon? Even with a secret weapon, they couldn't catch a mutant?"
"Trash!"
Amidst the overwhelming criticism, questioning how the authorities couldn't catch one mutant kid, Irina offered an explanation.
Sighing heavily, she said, "It's not as you think. The authorities really tried their best. That mutant was just too difficult to handle. He…"
After a brief hesitation, she said something that seemed unbelievable to everyone watching.
She slowly said, "That mutant boy used the power of light to eliminate everyone hunting him, including the secret weapon."
At those words, the many viewers watching the live broadcast were stunned.
Light?
The boy used light to eliminate everyone hunting him?
At that moment, everyone was both shocked and incredulous.
