It seems that the same method may not work against Charles," Huang Wen thought as he walked into the Wing Chun Martial Arts School. "After all, even if Charles falls asleep, he can probably control his dreams and wake up, and my special ability is clearly still far behind someone like Charles…"
"But it's a pity, I should have issued a quest. Even if I didn't issue a quest to defeat Magneto, just knocking him unconscious would have excellent quest rewards, right?"
"What kind of ability is this, to easily immobilize a person's body, and even make them fall into a deep sleep?" Mystique asked, surprised, as she helped Magneto walk into the Wing Chun Martial Arts School. She didn't understand why there was such a bizarre ability user, capable of affecting even a powerful mutant like Magneto.
"This is good already. If he had hit that old man's funny bone, he probably would have laughed himself to death!" Logan pouted, a little annoyed that Magneto hadn't been hit in the funny bone. However, Logan also knew that if he had been hit there, Magneto would probably still be able to use his mutant abilities freely.
"Magneto! Teacher Jean Grey, Teacher Ororo." Iceman Bobby and Rogue Anna came downstairs and hurried over to Jean Grey and Ororo. Pyro John and Bruce Banner, however, showed no intention of approaching them.
"Hmm, we're relieved to see that you're all right," Ororo said, nodding at Iceman Bobby and Rogue Anna. She glanced at Pyro John and Bruce Banner, who had come downstairs but didn't approach, instead standing with Reese Fisk and Zhong Qiang, a hint of confusion in her eyes.
"We can talk business now. Shouldn't you release Erik first?" Mystique finally couldn't help but step forward and say to Huang Wen.
"Of course… Hmm?" Huang Wen had just nodded when he saw Magneto's eyelids twitch, and then Magneto opened his eyes, a faint weariness in them.
"Sure enough, even if Magneto isn't proficient in qi, his mutant ability is also a kind of divine power, and he can still find a way to resist the internal force that sealed his sleep point." Huang Wen's mind stirred, but his expression remained unchanged.
"Good trick. Now I believe you're not from Kunlun." Magneto gave Huang Wen a deep look. "However, this is a matter of our mutant race. Are you sure you want to get involved?"
"Let's see. After all, I have friends among you. If he has any difficulties, I will still act!" Huang Wen said, glancing at Logan beside him.
"Very well, since you want to hear it, we won't keep it a secret any longer." Magneto nodded, also looking at Logan. "Do you remember William Stryker?"
"I only saw him at the Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. He was the one who led people to try and capture the students!" Logan suddenly realized something and glanced at Huang Wen.
"Charles was also captured by him." Magneto nodded, looking at Logan with a solemn expression. "Do you remember the Cerebro in the basement? William Stryker plans to build a second one, and then, through Jason Stryker's ability, hypnotize Charles to eliminate all mutants in the world in one fell swoop!"
"At that time, Charles, who overused his abilities, would definitely not survive. If I put on my helmet in time, I might survive. Your ability might also allow you to survive, but whether the consciousness that survives is yours or not, is uncertain…"
"So, do you know where William Stryker is now?"
"Alkali Lake?" Logan looked at Huang Wen beside him, remembering Huang Wen's mention of Alkali Lake, and said it subconsciously.
"Where is it?" Jean Grey and the others' eyes lit up, and they quickly asked.
"There's no sign of anyone on the surface there, and I haven't even smelled or sensed any human presence…" A hint of hesitation flashed in Logan's eyes. "But I suspect there might be people underground."
"That's right!" Jean Grey suddenly thought of something and turned to Nightcrawler. "You were once controlled by William Stryker. Your memories should contain William Stryker's location!"
"I'm willing to help!" Nightcrawler said, seeing everyone's eyes on him, and quickly nodded in agreement. "But I really can't remember clearly…"
"It's okay, I can read your memories." Jean Grey placed her hand on Nightcrawler's head and began to read his memories.
"I haven't reached the level of reading people's memories remotely. My special ability is also like this; I need to touch to read memories. It seems that the normal Jean Grey and I are still far from Charles's psychic abilities, even with the blessing of the Dragon Seal…" A thought flashed through Huang Wen's mind.
"By the way, these two blue-skinned guys seem to have some kind of connection. The movie didn't seem to mention it, and I don't know if there's any connection at all…"
Huang Wen subconsciously glanced at Mystique and Nightcrawler, but didn't feel any similar aura, other than the color of their skin. Therefore, Huang Wen didn't know if Mystique was Nightcrawler's mother, after all, Mystique's age in the movie was far less than in the comics.
"It's at Alkali Lake!" Jean Grey quickly opened her eyes and nodded at Logan. "You're right, underground at Alkali Lake is William Stryker's hiding place!"
"But Alkali Lake is so far away, how do we get there?" Logan frowned. "Where's your plane? Are we really going to ride that iron box you control?"
"The plane was blown up, only that iron box is left." Ororo looked at Magneto helplessly. The condition of the plane at that time would take a long time to repair, so they couldn't waste time there.
"My ability can barely take one person there, but after I get there, my ability will be exhausted…" Nightcrawler looked at everyone with some hesitation. "If there's someone among you who can deliver a decisive blow and definitely defeat William Stryker, I can take them there!"
Nightcrawler's gaze lingered on Jean Grey, Ororo, and Magneto. In Nightcrawler's opinion, only these three had the ability to deal with William Stryker.
"William Stryker's methods are varied and unpredictable, and we must be on guard. It's probably difficult to deal with him with just one person!" Magneto shook his head cautiously and said solemnly.
"System, issue a quest: Take Magneto and the others to Alkali Lake!" Huang Wen's eyes lit up, and he immediately contacted the system.
"Generating quest: Take Magneto and the X-Men to Alkali Lake. Reward: One extraordinary skill. Do you accept?"
"Extraordinary skill? There's Magneto and Jean Grey here! Storm shouldn't be extraordinary, right? Is it already starting to calculate quest difficulty now?" Huang Wen pouted, but in the end, he still chose to accept the quest.
