Night, arrived quietly.
The heavily guarded laboratory base was illuminated by dazzling lights.
Teams of soldiers with live ammunition patrolled back and forth meticulously, showing no signs of slacking off due to the arrival of night.
"Hoo..."
Keira, White Queen, and the Sainte-Croix sisters looked at the guards who walked past them without glancing, and subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
"My God, they really can't see us, this is too incredible, right?"
At such a close distance, almost face-to-face, the patrolling guards acted as if they didn't exist at all, with no reaction.
Samuel led them swaggeringly to the front of the laboratory building, and with a gentle wave of his hand.
A rumbling sound of rolling echoed, and the walls of the laboratory building strangely flipped open by themselves, revealing the situation in every room clearly.
"Over there!"
Raven exclaimed softly, pointing to a room in the middle of the building.
In this room, a woman with the same red hair, gold eyes, and blue skin stood close to the wall, her hands, feet, neck, and lower abdomen bound by thick chains, and there were several very conspicuous scars on her body.
It was obvious that this woman was Mystique Raven from this timeline!
Keira and the others, who had also been captured and experimented on, couldn't help but feel a sense of shared suffering, empathy, and pity.
As for anger?
How to put it, they themselves had just escaped from suffering, their mindset hadn't adjusted yet, and they didn't have the emotion of burning with anger and being furious as soon as they saw this.
Or rather, their sense of security hadn't returned to normal, so when they saw this situation, their first reaction was pity, wanting to rescue her from suffering, rather than feeling angry at the actions of those bad people and wanting to kill them.
This mindset is very normal, and there's no need to do anything special, it will adjust on its own after a while.
Samuel's thoughts moved slightly, and in the next moment, everyone was instantly teleported in front of Mystique Raven.
Mystique Raven, whose eyes were full of hatred and numbness, had no reaction, like a wounded Beast, quietly licking her wounds, waiting for an opportunity for revenge and escape.
Revenge first, escape later.
She had been captured here for several years, and repeated cruel experiments had made her no longer the kind and innocent little girl she was back then!
A few years ago, she still hoped that Magneto or Professor X would come to save her, and longed to escape from here.
But now, her heart was already filled with hatred!
The only reason she hadn't collapsed yet wasn't because she was hoping to leave one day, but because she was waiting for an opportunity to seek revenge.
Killing one is breaking even, killing two is a huge profit!
"Have You lost faith in life?"
"Do You want to understand the meaning of life? Do You want to truly... or live?"
"Yes or No?"
The voice that suddenly appeared in her mind made Mystique Raven instantly look around with sharp eyes.
There was no one in the room except her.
"Am I hallucinating..." Mystique Raven thought this, but quickly denied it.
She knew that her mind hadn't collapsed, and she knew that the voice in her mind didn't sound like a hallucination, but more like Mind Manipulation Ability.
"Who!"
"Who is speaking!"
Mystique Raven questioned loudly in her heart.
"Who I am is not important! Okay, it's very important, but what's more important is what You want now?"
"Revenge?"
"Freedom?"
What do I want? You can use Mind Manipulation Ability to invade my brain, won't You know what I want?
Mystique Raven thought this.
The voice in her mind was silent for a few seconds, and then, chuckled softly.
Wrong!
This laugh wasn't in her mind, but in...
Mystique Raven suddenly looked up, and then, she saw the unfamiliar man standing in front of her, chuckling.
This man had an Eastern face and looked unremarkable. Uh, well, he was a little handsome, and he had a somewhat charmingly roguish demeanor that was quite likable.
"There are cameras here, you've already been discovered by them," Mystique Raven reminded him after her initial surprise.
Samuel slowly raised his hand and gently touched the dense, horrifying wounds covering her body.
"Make a wish to me!"
"In exchange for your loyalty, as long as you never betray me and obey my commands, I will give you freedom and help you get revenge!"
Mystique Raven laughed, a cruel and terrifying laugh.
She had nothing left to lose. If this person could really save her and help her get revenge, then... what harm was there in giving him her loyalty?
"I make a wish to you. As long as you can give me freedom and help me get revenge, I am willing to pay the price of loyalty and swear never to betray you, to forever obey your commands, no matter the cost!"
Mystique Raven looked directly into the other person's eyes and said very seriously and firmly.
"I have heard your plea and accepted your terms. Now... as you wish!"
The corner of Samuel's mouth lifted slightly, and an invisible force generated around the two of them!
"Buzz!"
The wind suddenly picked up without warning.
With a few clangs, the chains on Mystique Raven's body broke and fell to the ground.
The next moment, the wind disappeared as abruptly as it had appeared, as if it had never existed.
"I am the Lord of the Void, Samuel."
"I don't care who you are, because from now on, you are my Master!"
Mystique Raven smiled sweetly, listened for a moment, and a ferocious smile appeared on her face.
"Crack, crack..." Mystique Raven twisted her neck and shoulders, sneered, and strode towards the door.
Pushing the door open and walking out, screams immediately followed.
Gunshots echoed, and screams were continuous.
"Ding!"
"Combat detected, reward dropped: Transformation (Mystique)"
Samuel waved his hand and released the others from the Mirror Space, saying calmly, "Go and do what you need to do."
Raven, Keira, and White Queen didn't hesitate or delay. They turned around and left the room to help Mystique Raven.
The Sainte-Croix sisters remained in place, and the older sister, Nicole Saint-Croix, said awkwardly, "Our, our abilities are sometimes effective and sometimes not. Can, can we stay by your side?"
Samuel nodded noncommittally. The Sainte-Croix sisters' abilities had great potential but were undeveloped. Letting them go out to face the guards now would be no different from sending them to their deaths.
"Ding!"
"Combat detected, reward dropped: Mind Manipulation Ability (Silver Fox)"
"Ding!"
"Combat detected, reward dropped: Diamond Form (White Queen)"
Listening to the sounds of the dropped rewards, Samuel led the Sainte-Croix sisters out of the room.
In the corridor, corpses lay everywhere.
Mystique Raven watched Raven, Keira, and White Queen with vigilance and surprise until Samuel came out with the twin sisters, at which point she lowered her guard.
They should be the same kind, they are her own people!
"Raven, you and Keira go find the experimental records and destroy them all!"
"White Queen, you follow the other Raven and find Bolivar Trask. He is the mastermind behind these experiments. Kill him!"
