While Professor X and his team were planning how to find Raven, the guards at The Pentagon were going crazy!
Because when they went to deliver dinner to Magneto as usual today, they found that such a large living person had simply vanished from the cell!
This was the prime suspect in the assassination of the former President, and Heaven knows what a price they paid to capture Magneto.
Just from his special method of detention, one could tell the importance placed on him by those in charge.
But now, he had vanished as if he had evaporated into thin air.
The entire Pentagon had over 25,000 military police and guards, with 60 people specifically assigned to watch over Magneto alone.
Although no surveillance cameras were installed in the prison due to fear of Magneto's abilities.
However, the guards, twenty per shift, working three shifts, watched the only exit of that prison continuously for 24 hours, yet failed to notice any abnormality.
Furthermore, they checked all surveillance footage within The Pentagon from after lunchtime and indeed found no suspicious individuals.
"To be able to rescue him silently from the most secure prison in the World, it seems it could only be his Mutant accomplices!"
"I believe Professor Bolivar's concerns are correct; powerful abilities make these Mutants completely disregard the law and dignity of the nation!"
"Today they could silently take Erik Lehnsherr, a serious offender, from prison, so tomorrow, could they appear in your and my offices, or even our homes?"
"What will we do then? Watch helplessly as they take our lives and harm our families?"
"Therefore, I believe Professor Bolivar's proposal should be reconsidered."
At this moment, a government official said coldly, his face grim.
His words indeed made the other officials fall into deep thought.
Initially, they had indeed rejected Bolivar's Sentinel project due to political standing and national fiscal expenditure.
However, now Mutants had begun to show their disregard for national authority!
"This is a provocation; if we do not respond, the Mutants' actions will become increasingly arrogant, even leading to a terrifying war of extinction."
"I agree with Senator Downs and Senator Aubrey; regarding Mutants, we should have corresponding countermeasures, and if necessary, we can eliminate them."
As this official spoke, all the others began to express their opinions.
"After the meeting, I will inform Bolivar of this new resolution."
"The cooperation between the government and Trask Industries will continue, and the Sentinel project will receive strong financial support from the government."
Finally, Secretary of State Ray Wise made the final decision.
A single butterfly's ripple caused the government officials to make a new resolution, completely unknown to Professor X and his team.
Meanwhile, the progress of Shen Mu's treasure chest charging quietly increased by a small increment, though this slight change went unnoticed by Shen Mu.
At this moment, Paris!
"Shen, you can open a portal directly to Paris, why didn't you tell Hank? I saw him busy preparing for a long time, and now he looks very disappointed."
At this moment, Logan leaned close to Shen Mu and whispered.
"Because he didn't ask!"
"Besides, saving one's own future, such a thing must have some sense of participation, right!"
"Although useless, at least it proves that he truly tried."
Hank, who heard this from the side, looked even more dejected!
For the first time, the technology he admired seemed so powerless in the face of supernatural forces.
He could even invent a serum to suppress his own Mutant gene, but magic was truly something he couldn't comprehend.
"Professor, I have checked all of Bolivar's itinerary information, but it is all highly classified."
"I think he might be with the President."
Having just had his confidence shattered by Shen Mu, and now unable to find any useful information, he felt very frustrated.
"Erik, do you have a way to find Raven?"
"Or, after she left with you, did you two have any special way of contacting each other?"
The Professor, without his telepathic abilities, couldn't help at all now, only able to ask his old friend if he had a way to contact Mystique.
"No, we usually contacted each other by phone or acted together."
Magneto shook his head, indicating he had no way.
"Dragon... Mr. Shen, I wonder if you have any way to help us find Raven, just like your miraculous teleportation magic."
Having no other options, Professor X could only turn his pleading gaze towards Shen Mu, who was chatting with Logan.
"There is a way, but it requires a bit of that Mystique's biological medium as material for casting the spell."
Shen Mu had noted down a magic spell from the Kamar-Taj magic library.
It was the very spell Doctor Strange used with Thor's hair to search for the location of their father, Odin.
This spell can find people with the same or similar bloodline information as the spell material.
This is actually a family-finding spell, but when combined with the Sling Ring's portal, its effect is outstanding!
Upon hearing Shen Mu's words, Magneto and Logan, needless to say, one had just been released from confinement, and the other didn't even know Mystique at this point.
Professor X and Hank both shook their heads; too much time had passed, and all they had left of Mystique were a few photos and some old memories.
"Then there's nothing we can do! Just wait patiently until the meeting begins!"
"Now, perhaps you can think about how to get into the meeting venue when the time comes."
"Lest you all be blocked outside even after she completes the assassination."
Shen Mu said casually, seemingly completely unconcerned.
Seeing Shen Mu speak like this, Magneto already had some resolve in his heart.
Even if he had to force his way in, he would break into the meeting hall; even if he couldn't take Raven out alive, he would personally kill her and then take her body.
This was his magnanimity; for the future of Mutants, he was willing to sacrifice anyone who could be sacrificed, even if it was his best friend and companion.
And Charles, at this moment, felt immense regret, wishing his abilities hadn't been lost.
Unfortunately, he had already made that choice, and he could only bear the consequences.
"Hank, help us forge press reporter IDs for each of us; we will need to be able to enter the meeting venue then."
With no other options, the Professor could only ask Hank to make such preparations.
"I understand, Professor!"
Hank, feeling his value again, even showed a hint of excitement on his face.
Waiting is the hardest part, of course, this was only for those whose hearts were filled with worries about the future.
Shen Mu was unaffected by this, because even if these people failed, he was perfectly capable of turning everything around.
Because he didn't need to worry about any so-called international impact; after all, even if all the countries in the World united, they couldn't threaten him in the slightest.
