In a flash, three more days passed. At noon that day, Trask gave Andrew a piece of great news—the Leech factor had been successfully replicated!
The Leech factor was a factor that could disable Mutant abilities, and Andrew needed it to serve as a casting medium.
Andrew was very pleased: "It's time to harvest the souls of Mutant."
...
In a dark alley in Hell's Kitchen, the failed Mutant John looked up at the sky, his young face full of numbness and despair.
John awakened as a Mutant at the age of eighteen, but this brought him no benefits, because he was the lowest-level Epsilon-level Mutant—his head was very large, but he had no superpowers, and even worse, he often had headaches.
John went to ask the Mutant Savior Professor X, and Professor X told him that this was because his mental power was too strong, compressing his brain.
Unfortunately, even Professor X could not solve John's pain. John lived in Hell every day, but he was unwilling to die. He was only twenty years old, and he wanted to go home, back to the home that considered him a monster and drove him out.
"Perhaps Death is a better choice for me."
John sighed to himself. Just then, his vision blurred, and he suddenly appeared in a simple, clean office, with a very beautiful blonde woman sitting opposite him.
"Hello, I am an emissary of the Hell Demon King."
Yelena smiled very amiably, "As long as you are willing to sign over your soul to our Rebirth Hell after Death, we will help you return to normal and become an ordinary person."
John was first stunned when he heard this, then asked excitedly, "You can help me become an ordinary person?"
"Not me, but our Demon King."
Yelena said, "As long as you sign the contract..."
John immediately said, "I'll sign, I'll sign right now."
Yelena said, "I haven't finished..."
John yelled somewhat hysterically, "No need to say, just sign now, where's the contract? I'll sign immediately, I want to become an ordinary person, I want to become an ordinary person."
The smile on Yelena's face stiffened a bit. If it weren't for the BOSS saying not to hit customers, would you believe I'd beat you so hard your own mother wouldn't recognize you?
"Sign it."
Yelena handed over the contract weakly. Although it was successful, why did she feel no sense of accomplishment? Also, the knowledge she had painstakingly studied in the past few days was completely useless.
Yelena sighed to herself, "No wonder the BOSS sought out Mutant. They are like us before, full of despair."
John signed the contract without any hesitation, then he eagerly asked, "When can I become an ordinary person?"
"Immediately. One last reminder, you will lose all memory of being here, but you will remember one sentence."
Yelena said, "Mutant who want to become ordinary people can go to Times Square."
After speaking, Yelena sent John away and began to receive the next guest. At the same time, other Black Widows, like Yelena, kept receiving Mutant.
In the alley, John's consciousness returned to normal. He thought of something and quickly touched his head. The next moment, he felt a normal head, a normal head that had not enlarged.
More importantly, John's head no longer hurt, which meant he had truly become an ordinary person.
John wept with joy. Although he didn't know why he had recovered, the important thing was that he had recovered.
"I'm going home, I'm going home."
John stood up and shouted excitedly, "Oh, right, I need to call Richie and the others and tell them that if they want to become ordinary people, they can go to Times Square."
"My dream was to count money until my hands cramped, but now it's become casting curses until my hands cramp."
In the chairman's office, Andrew rotated his wrist, complaining with a displeased expression. In New York alone, there were tens of thousands of Epsilon-level Mutants, and most of them were willing to sell their souls to Rebirth Hell.
In just one day, Andrew harvested tens of thousands of soul contracts, more than the previous two disasters combined.
"Black Widow, Mutant, what a world full of despair."
Andrew shook his head. Having harvested a large number of souls during this period, his strength had rapidly increased. He vaguely felt a threshold; crossing this threshold would bring about a fundamental transformation for both him and Rebirth Hell.
Of course, Andrew had only seen the threshold for now, and there was still some distance to truly reach that level.
...
Tens of thousands of Mutant turning back into ordinary people naturally alarmed all forces related to Mutant, and they immediately launched an investigation.
"I never thought someone could turn Mutant back into ordinary people."
The benevolent bald Professor X sighed, while Storm, with her silver hair, said discontentedly, "I completely don't understand why anyone would be willing to give up their Mutant identity."
Phoenix Jean Grey, with her red hair and gentle demeanor, looked at Storm a little speechlessly. Her colleague was a bit too naive.
"That is their choice, and we should respect them."
Professor Charles said gently, "What I'm worried about is whether someone is experimenting on us Mutant? Also, if this method falls into the hands of our enemies, the consequences would be unimaginable."
"It shouldn't be an experiment. I've examined the bodies of several Mutant, and there are no traces of experimentation on them."
Jean Grey said, "But all of their X-genes have reverted to an unawakened state, and I can't analyze the reason."
After a pause, Jean Grey continued, "Also, I asked them, and they don't know why they turned back into ordinary people. I feel they weren't lying."
"They indeed weren't lying. That part of their memory in their minds was erased by someone."
Professor Charles said, "They only remember one sentence: Mutant who want to become ordinary people can go to Times Square!"
"Times Square?"
Everyone was stunned. Why Times Square? That's a landmark in New York, very conspicuous.
Other forces also had this confusion. They didn't know that Andrew chose that location because it was close to Rebirth Group, allowing him to pull people into the illusion while working.
"It seems I'll have to stay in Times Square for a few days."
Professor Charles said. This matter was too important, and he planned to personally go and investigate.
...
"This must be a human conspiracy. They are experimenting on Mutant, preparing to exterminate us Mutant."
Another Mutant extremist, the vigorous Magneto, shouted loudly, "And those Mutant are all self-degrading traitors. They gave up their identity as gods to become mortals."
Toad, Sabretooth, Mystique, and other Mutant beside him all nodded. In the eyes of radical Mutant, they were the gods of the new era.
"Raven, you go to Times Square and keep an eye out. You must find The Mastermind."
Magneto paced back and forth a few steps and instructed, "Toad, you take Sabretooth to the Canadian border to catch a Mutant for me. According to the intelligence I received, she can absorb the power of other Mutant."
